Did You See My Lips Move?

i am watching America's Got Talent as we speak/write and did you see terry factor (i think that was his name) that ventriloquist? that guy rocked!! he had the dummy sing the great etta james song 'at last' and wow!!! i'm glad they put him through.

now on to some hoff thoughts. i know everyone has been making hoff drunk jokes since the video came out - we have done it on the 'watch it' podcast as well. however, does anyone else think that he might really have had a few to many before this taping of the show we are watching tonight? his slurring his speach a little praising the beatboxer chick (who was great by the way) and then all those teasers of him walking off the set later in the show. the hoff just seems a little "off". does anyone else see it, or is it just me?

ok, so we just found out why the hoff walked off stage - because the other 2 put 'boy shakira' through to the next round. is that really walk-off-stage worthy? no. of course 'boy shakira' isn't going to win it all, but putting him through was a great tv move, kind of like that guy (from russia i think) last year that cried and had a dream to be famous and did something with hula-hoops.

my favorite part is where the hoff says, "has the world gone mad?". i think the fact that he has had any kind of singing career given how untalented he is at it would have told him long ago that it sure had.

Hoff is a nice-enough guy, but I just don't get him. Fans go bananas over him ("Love you Hoff", or "You're the Hoff-man"). For me, he's just a B-list, or maybe C-list guy. Anyway, I haven't watched this episode yet (it's on my recorder to watch later), but from the clips they've been showing, it looks like a lot of over-reacting.

Oh my god, yes that Russian dude from last year that cried and talked about his "dream"... I HATE when contestants cry and give some sad story - it's so obviously trying to get the sympathy vote. If you have talent, get up and show it. If you have overcome a significant hardship, fine - but don't start crying .. they'll loose my vote!!!
