The producers of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT should be farmers because boy do they know how to milk it! Instead of continuing on with the semi finals from the contestants we’ve watched in the last six weeks, they have interrupted that contest for another contest … a You Tube one!

That’s right this week was AGT- YOU TUBE SPECIAL with acts who were picked off the internet and plopped up on stage to perform, some for the very first time in front of an live audience.

There’s a difference between what you’ll watch at all hours of the night desperate for entertainment on your computer and what is fascinating on TV at 9pm. Never before was that so apparent as when poor Internet phenom Rebecca Black performed tonight on stage. She was so off key and so out of place I felt embarrassed for her. She sometimes even forgot to keep the microphone in front of her mouth, waving it around with a glide of her arm while she tried to keep in key and dance at the same time. Four other You Tube faves performed their “talent” including Keenan Cahill, OK GO and Up and Over It – the only act with real talent actually.

The AGT You Tube Special show audience ousted Powerhouse, TNC Elite, Aeon, Kaloni Basketball Freestyle and illusionist Brett Daniels. Sweet little dancer Breena Bell got the heave ho as well.

Gymkana stayed to compete as did Matt Wilhelm, Kevin Colis and lastly, picked by the judges, was Beth Ann Robinson. Gabe Rocks and West Springfield Dance Team didn’t make it.

However, Sharon Osbourne picked West Springfield Dance Team as her wild card to come back and perform… whatever the heck that means. Piers Morgan and Howie Mandel have yet to announce their wild card picks. Still not sure when the Wild Card show will take place, somewhere between the Street Performers show and the AMERICAN IDOL rejects show, no doubt … stay tuned.
