Does America really have talent?
It seems that America is in love with talent shows as evidenced by the recent TV ratings that placed “America’s Got Talent” at the top of the list. In recent conversations with friends - the same question kept coming up - Does America really have enough talent to air on national TV?
After this week’s show (Aug. 7), America voted and narrowed the final field to four contestants. My favorites are the Glamazons. Not for their signing talent but for those costumes… OMG, something is bound to fall out in a Janet Jackson Super Bowl moment if they get to shakin’ too much.
Overall, the contestants are quite talented and I’d guess the ventriloquist guy, Terry Fator, will end up with the grand prize.
So why does America watch? Is it for the celebrity judges (Jerry Springer, David Hasselhoff or Sharon Osborne). the shirtless performers, the skimpy costumes or some other reason?
While I like the show well enough I can’t say that I love it! So what makes this show get higher ratings than anything else on TV?
What do you think?

I think people watch because the rest of TV programming is so very BAD!
