America's (Maybe) Got Talent

It's decided that people shouldn't be allowed to perform "talent" acts that look like it was put together one otherwise uneventful hour in someone's basement, or ones that are boring. Please save the operatic and solo piano numbers for your personal recitals. They're not entertaining to K-6th graders, or to the heckling teachers who's laughter embarrassingly and unintentionally fills the room (sorry about that...). If you must sing by yourself it would be appreciated if you wouldn't just stand there and sing, if we wanted to watch a song we would stare at our speakers. Big group numbers are mostly fun but make sure there are some flashy streamers and LOTS of movement. But I really think the problem lies with the so-called judges decisions on who gets to perform, you really should be more discriminating, don't give these kids false hopes for life. Also, if the show lasts more than an hour it's time to start cutting .

Give those kids a break. You were one of the cut ones once. And cut the teachers who choose the acts some slack, do you want to be the one that crushes some little kid's hopes?
