America's Got Talent goes deeper than X Factor says Sharon Osbourne

Yes! I love that Sharon Osbourne is challenging Simon Cowell's X Factor.

Now that American Idol is close to it's end (actually it's not -- 6 more grueling weeks -- but it's more or less over), it's time to focus on the shows that are up ahead.

One of them is America's Got Talent, which is the #1 show of the Summer for a couple of years now. Will we get another Jackie Evancho or Prince Poppycock this year? I hope!

My spy tells me the Atlanta auditions were "horribe" although Piers is saying that "they've never seen as much talent in Atlanta." Hmmm, really? [SPOILER] They put through THREE STRIPPER acts in Atlanta, and one of them was a little person. Also they triple X'ed one performer who ended up going to Las Vegas by the shear force of will from the audience.

Anyway, still looking forward to AGT.

From The Wrap:

“[X-Factor is] just singing, whereas we do everything," [Sharon] Osbourne said. "Other shows are just singing, or just dancing. We go deeper.”

Having just returned from auditions in Atlanta the previous evening, [Piers] Morgan marveled, “We had better talent in Atlanta in three days than we’ve had in some entire seasons. The talent level has been incredible. People won’t believe what they’re seeing.”
