Siena Sammy is back!!! Sammy is the new forum agent!

Ralphie1412 · 08-23-11, 05:04 PM

21 years old in college and has 20,000+ posts and the highlight of his week is Americas Got Talent. Man that sucks.

laclippers504 · 08-23-11, 05:07 PM

love this show

THE HITMAN · 08-23-11, 06:21 PM

I wish they'd let more magic/illusion acts in. Some are just great, and after all, it's a show that gives an act Vegas time. Perfect for that type of a performer

bb_skoots · 08-23-11, 06:30 PM

please move this to the homo sub-forum. please

I still remember when this kid bet all his money on Marquette vs Washington 2 years ago in the NCAA tourney that was one of the highlights

a4u2fear · 08-23-11, 07:41 PM

Silhouettes will make it far

SamsNCharge99 · 08-23-11, 09:25 PM

Team illuminate was absolutely dirty tonight. Easily advancing

I like poplife as well and zumz zuma

SamsNCharge99 · 08-23-11, 09:46 PM

Illuminate poplife miami all starts DJB and zuma zuma in that order

SamsNCharge99 · 08-23-11, 10:03 PM

Take out zuma zuma and add in opera singer.

What a fukking show tonight

jgilmartin · 08-23-11, 11:14 PM

iLuminate is the top act of the season, easily, IMO. The opera singer was the top vocalist of the night; both Poplife and the curly-haired guy where a little pitchy in spots but still good.

bobbyk1133 · 08-24-11, 12:01 AM

iLuminate is the coolest thing I've ever seen and the choreographer is really likable - potent competition for a voting show. Silhouettes can win in terms of a Vegas show-type act. I'm looking forward to seeing some odds. I'm assuming iLuminate will cost a lot of juice...

darko3131 · 08-25-11, 12:09 AM

The show is so lame this year but I'm keeping up just in case they post odds. If only one of the dead husband opera singer or car wash singer get to the finals they would be a good longshot pick, if both make it I think they split votes and cost each other. Last year was so funny when everyone thought Jackie Evancho was a lock to finish higher than Michael Grimm.

CollegeOverUnder · 08-25-11, 11:48 PM

The next Semifinal is going to be fun to watch im looking at

Silouhettes
Landau
Snap Boogie
Anna Graceman
Kinetic King !

Wasn't her husband. Was a boyfriend she had known only shortly.

Hope she wins. I know her.

bobbyk1133 · 09-02-11, 03:20 PM

Odds are up at Bodog.

iLuminate is going to win at +150 and I think Silhouettes has the best chance at the upset at +750.

Dark Horse · 09-02-11, 03:38 PM

I watched it for the first time. Not often that somebody absolutely lights up the stage in a talent show.

Anna Graceman. Superstar in the making.

darko3131 · 09-02-11, 05:46 PM

At +150 I'll pass on iluminate, with $25 limit I won't sweat it if they do win but remember Jackie Evancho was favored heavy last year and didn't win.

Anna Graceman at 25/1 looks like the best "value" as a longshot (same price as winner Michael Grimm last year). Might add one of the others I mentioned depending on how the finals look.

bobbyk1133 · 09-02-11, 07:47 PM

The limit isn't 25$. I just put 50$ down at Bodog with no problems. Intertops also has odds up now, but iluminate is only +100 there. Silhouettes is +1200. They were considered in contention before their semi-final performance.

flyingillini · 09-02-11, 10:14 PM

Siena Sammy knows this show better than most. When he makes a pick you listen.

laclippers504 · 09-03-11, 12:49 AM

Damn if Anna is 25 to 1 I definitely would put something on that

CollegeOverUnder · 09-03-11, 02:00 AM

I love this show this is a great season. I love West Springfield Dance Team even though they are probably a long shot currently they are great fun to watch.

How in the world is that Lys Agnes lady getting 2/1 there is no way she wins the show. Ill be furious if she wins the show

LANDON SWANK is a great magician I will say that I loved his leviating balloon act.

POPLYFE is way better then people except them to be

ANNA GRACEMAN is just an amazing singer, I feel like America is going to put her through as long as she doesnt mess up

LANDAUE EUGENE MURPHY is my favorite act on the show he just puts his whole soul into what he does when he sings

SILLOUHETTES are a big wild card if they come up with an amazing routine in the finals they can jump up a lot

WEST SPRINGFIELD DANCE TEAM is a spectacle to watch and I cant wait to see what they put together

MIAMI ALL STARS are really really good dancers but I dont think they will win the show

TEAM iLUMINATE is gonig to need something huge to top their last act

SMAGE BROTHERS are fun to watch what they do is really hard to do on that stage but I dont think its enough to win

My Top 5 picks are going to be

LANDAUE EUGENE MURPHY JR

TEAM iLUMINATE

SILLOUHETTES

ANNA GRACEMAN

WEST SPRINGFIELD DANCE TEAM

$50 limits those were the days

I had my ENT, MMA, Boxing and all Prop limits cut to $25, boy I miss matchbook

bobbyk1133 · 09-06-11, 09:30 PM

I hope some people got in on Silhouettes at +1200 or +750. They have a real chance to take this.

But team iLuminate slammed it. They will be tough to beat.

crustyme · 09-07-11, 01:07 AM

was thinking about putting something on graceman but glad i didn't. she was lousy tonight. she needs to stick to songs with high notes cause she's an avg singer otherwise. west springfield dance team was the worst of the night.

i think the top 4 will be: latrell spreewell, team iluminate, silhouettes and poplyfe.

babyjesus · 09-07-11, 08:37 AM

if you have enough time to watch this fuking show you should be doing something that is actually productive. read a book. learn a language. learn the capitals of all 50 states or better yet learn the 50 states, because i know some Americans can't even recite those.

CollegeOverUnder · 09-07-11, 04:58 PM

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr
Sillouhetttes
Team iLuminate
Poplyfe

Funny how the judges/producers decided to push for this to be the finals and they got it. Like I was originally thinking this is setting up well for Landau without Lys Agnes in the finals his only singing comp. is Poplyfe and they are Godawful. Silhouettes is pretty lame (shadow puppets really?) but they actually stepped it up for once. I'm not big on iLuminate, the dancers have more polish/talent than Fighting Gravity but its not as visually impressive as the white suits and yellow flying balls where. Should come down to who gets pimped harder between iLuminate and Landau

1. iLuminate
2. Landau

3. Silhouettes

4. Poplyfe

chilidog · 09-08-11, 12:40 PM

I really didn't like how the producers manipulated the results to get exactly who they wanted into each round. Instead of eliminating people by lowest vote count, they would put certain people against each other, and then usually eliminate the lowest vote count (or by letting the judges decide instead of sticking with America's vote count). That way, they could put through whomever they wanted each round.

crustyme · 09-08-11, 01:47 PM

predicted the final 4 exactly.

felt sorry for anna..... she's definately better than poplyfe but screwed up badly with the song choice.

When you get to the semi finals you gotta bring it. No matter how old you are. Pop Lyfe could sell records right now at a higher rate than Anna could.
