There was entirely no reason for the final results show of America's Got Talent to clog up two hours of airtime with highlight reels and a seemingly endless parade of musical guests, from Flo Rida to Green Day to (gag) Justin Bieber and the Blue Man Group. Even...

It's finally here -- the America's Got Talent finals. It's a refreshingly eclectic collection of acts heading into the last round of competition. Sharon Osbourne called it the best finals ever. I'm inclined to agree if only for the selection. I'm still not entirely sure...

The final rounds of America's Got Talent are just around the corner and I was totally bummed to say goodbye to some of my personal favorites during last week's eliminations, but the show must go on, right? And in the case of AGT, it certainly does. It goes...

With performances by "the world's youngest rock band," Haunted by Heroes, Dee Snider (thank God for Dee Snider), magician Nate Burton, and Train, America's Got Talent wrapped up the semifinal rounds with the final three contestants gearing up for the performance of their lives this Wednesday at 9PM....

There were a lot of difficult choices to be made in the aftermath of Tuesday night'sAmerica's Got Talent semi-final round. I'm still reeling from what choices were ultimately made myself.

But first: the highlights. AGT has turned killing time into an art. The most mind-boggling method being...

Finally, you guys, FINALLY. America's Got Talent has entered the home stretch of this season's competition. This week it's the semifinals and the cuts are going to be brutal. Of the 12 contestants that we saw perform on Tuesday night, only three will be advancing.

The Twelve...

So the creepy ventriloquist makes it through unscathed while the two awesome magicians and the death-defying balancing team are sent home.

I guess that makes sense.

Featuring performances by the cast of Broadway's adaptation of Bring it On (really?) and a Carly Rae Jepsen/Owl City tag team (I...

After the train wreck of the YouTube round, I for one, was totally stoked to see which familiar faces would be vying for redemption during the America's Got Talent Wild Card round.

Welcome to America's Got Talent, YouTubers! In a results show that made up for the fumbling and bumbling of Tuesday night's YouTube auditions, Wednesday's results show featured Nick Cannon sharing his hosting duties with gold medalist Gabby Douglas, a delightful appearance by musical duo Karmin, YouTube...

America's Got Talent returned from Olympic hiatus with a lot of lackluster recruits from the greatest hits of YouTube. Why? Because very few things excel at wasting time like reality TV talent shows. Howard Stern repeatedly bemoaned the existence of the YouTube episodes. I nodded in...

To celebrate the return of America's Got Talent on Tuesday night, I thought it might be fun to put on our judgment hats and take a few minutes to think about which reality TV show judges out there really rock our socks... and conversely, which ones not so...

Performances from Cher Lloyd and the Broadway cast of Once dotted the landscape of broken dreams as Tuesday's twelve quaterfinalists were whittled down to the four semifinalists who we will see again when America's Got Talent returns after the Olympics....

There was a lot of concern voiced from the America's Got Talent judges on Tuesday night about the overwhelming amount of talent that graced the NJPAC stage for the last round of Quarterfinals. Their concern was well-placed. America had some tough decisions to make -- AGT clearly saved...

Performances by DJ/Singer Havana Brown and Britain's Got Talent winner Ashleigh Butler and her dancing dog Pudsey killed time between announcing the cuts on the third quarterfinal round of America's Got Talent.

The results weren't particularly shocking with comedian Jacob...

It was a night full of ups and downs on the America's Got Talent stage in Newark, New Jersey, as 12 more Vegas hopefuls brought out their best in hopes of wowing America. Unfortunately for some, the (understandable) nervousness of competing at this level simply got to them....

So, was anyone else panicking a little bit when Tim Hockenberry and Turf were both called to the stage during Wednesday night's America's Got Talent results show? I mean, how can I pick just one? They were both awesome in their respective fields and they both feature the...

Cirque du Soleil and will.i.am performed for America's Got Talent audience and contestants alike as the former waited to learn who America voted to progress to the semifinal rounds that will begin in just a few weeks. Of the 12 hopefuls who performed on Monday night, only four...

America's Got Talent went live on Monday night from Newark's New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The first 12 of the 48 quarter-finalists selected during last week's Boot Camp in Las Vegas performed and only four will progress. For the first time all season, that decision has been passed...

In last night's America's Got Talent two hour Vegas Week finale, it was the standbys turn to compete for the remaining New York slots.

Hawley Magic opened up the magician category with a levitation routine that Howard Stern pointed out might have been more...

Boot camp continued in Las Vegas for a second night of auditions from the Judges' Favorites -- a whirlwind spectacle of magicians, comedians, child prodigies, and various musical acts. Whirlwind is an accurate description. I'm definitely disoriented in the aftermath of our first honest-to-goodness eliminations maybe, just maybe, I'm longing...
