top 5 ways to win AGT 1) be a singer 2) be born with a mental illness/have a sob story (obviously stretched out) 3) be a child 4) have a super noble cause to want to win like wanting a better life for your family 5) all of the above
And when the contestant has an ACTUAL talent (like a scary act) they hit their buzzers cause they're "tOo UnCoMfOrTaBlE" Also I think most of them are too forgiving??? I think they're more professional in X Factor, but here they HAVE to always be accepting because they wanna cater to the audience, not for the sake of art
Hey Special Head here. Not only did they not allow me to perform with the Tesla Coil in correction, the 3rd round. An entity I cannot name, for AGT will sue me, talked me into letting them build for me a disappearing illusion and then they made that illusion fail on live TV intentionally to justify kicking me off the show they've done this too many other acts. It's utterly despicable and nothing short of slander
Sorry man, that's really sad. If it means anything, my family and I really enjoyed your act and found it unique and entertaining. I stopped watching it because everyone rides in their back story, if you were maimed in a freak accident, are a veteran, or a cute kid, you're in, if you are actually talented but don't have a big story, then ya just don't make it. It made me so mad to see all the true talent great voted off because someone had a better back story. So I just quit watching. I'm really sorry this happened to you, you didn't deserve it. ☹️🌹
I stopped watching AGT because singers and dancers are pretty much the only acts that make it to the end of the show. There are dozens of sing and dance shows, group or solo, yet a show that opens the door to magic, Vegas acts, Carnival routines, etc. those acts rarely make it to the end. It makes no sense.
Or you can 1: Get one of those people who perform music on the streets 2: Have them pretend they have a sad backstory or that they want a better life for their family 3: Put them on stage 4: Win over the judges Hart's
My sister auditioned for AGT when she was 11, she absolutely killed it! She is one of the best singer i’ve ever heard. Later did we find out the only reason she wasn’t excepted was because her backstory wasn’t “ good enough “
Their intention is not to discover talent, But to make money. A sad story draws the crowd, therefore more money. So people with touching back story favoured. Simple...
@@sholmes_ttyy honestly, I just watched the show cause I liked to see what people did and if people did the same thing (like singing), see how it was different. I only stopped watching after that thing with the backstories cause let's be honest, you can tell it's fake when every damn contestant has some sad backstory (not that they couldn't have one but it's just too convenient)
the show has been for a long time before simon was ever a judge...which unless it's more than a solo act I find boring since we already have singing reality tv
Totally agree. When singing acts have dozens of other shows they could audition for instead it's frustrating that they take the slots from genuine potential Vegas acts.
Jordan Haller I don't think that's quite right though, like it's not fixed as such but you still have to go through a shit tonne of producers before you even make it to the judges auditions.. it's just one of those things where they want to see if someone has the entertainment value.
and you know what? I think its ok...AGT is entertaining, people enjoy it and we talk about it. Its kind of the point on making a reality show, if you want to watch a REAL reality show, watch online traffic webcam around the world and try to find something interesting in it...
Hmmm I think your missing the point, especially when people pay money and vote for people when its rigged anyways, hence why its just stupid. If you know its rigged and you still chose to watch it then you my friend are very naive.
Remember that Pink tribute act, Zoe Alexander in Xfactor UK? Everyone thought she was crazy. The producers literally humiliated her in front of everyone making her look stupid.
df2ll she was crazy lol. She got mad because she was an idiot. The judges had a point when she said she wanted to separate from pink and do her own thing, then she sings pink... thats stupid. The dude who sang Cupid’s Shuffle did the same thing on the voice. He was mad he was a one hit wonder, and wanted to make a name for himself outside of that song, but then he sang that song! They both didn’t think it through lol. P.S. I’m just arguing against this one act you are referring to, not that AGT/BGT aren’t rigged.
Tim Wienand No, but that's exactly the point. Zoe didn't chose the Pink song. The producers chose it for her. Which is why she started screaming at the judges (who were not at fault, just the producers) that they told her to sing a pink song. She seriously got screwed over, wanting to sing a non-pink song, and the bgt production making her sing a pink song, and then getting criticised by the judges for doing that. I mean, she definitely over-reacted, but you can see why she'd be so upset.
Jasmine Lepelaar wait I'm confused when she came on stage she said what song she wanted to sing then they played the back ground music like she asked how did they pick it for her ?
my sister was on it and they were terrible people. when she got kicked off and told she wasn't what they were looking for (after being told she was fantastic and that they loved her for the 4 auditions prior) they told her that this must be so hard for her and to let all the emotions go (she wasn't sad in the least) and that she should cry. she didn't because she was not upset, so they didn't air her. all they want is drama. but that's only the tip of the iceberg. they wouldn't let her preform the songs she prepared, and had her learn a song she didn't know or want to sing 15 mins before going onstage.
There's only one way to win this: - Be arbitrarily selected by the producers - Have above average skills in a stage-compatible talent The rest is curated by the show's producers in every way. A lot of times even the backstory is made up by the showrunners if a contestant's backstory isn't sad and/or spicy enough.
How to win in AGT 1. Have a talent ( does not need to be EXTREME talent ) 2. Be cute 3. Have a sad backstory 4. Be kind 5. Teach all of the above to your kid
Exactly. There were a lot of people that were better. I'm not saying she was bad at all, I'm just saying that there were people that I thought should win besides her.
@@shinysmearglebeagle8326 what you said was pretty reasonable but i kinda agree with the other guy. She wasnt bad, just not exceptionally great in their standards
@@shinysmearglebeagle8326 no she wasn't, it was another singer. I dont know the name, but it was a girl and she sang rise up. Grace wasn't their favorite, but she sure was mine 😊
I was part of the audience and I can tell you its fake, they re-shoot reactions if they're not "emotional enough" or whatever expression they were looking for, and the judges barely have any power over decisions
They may do retakes as you say, but I don't buy that the judges don't have much power. Particularly Simon Cowell. Considering he's the shows head producer as well a judge.
Lilly Szczerba Yeah its all bulshit, you know when they're talking about themselves at the start and talking to their parents and stuff? Yeah that's all scripted, everything is scripted..they don't even pick their own songs. My friend auditioned, he said it was fucking cancerous 😂 Don't ever audition, it's all a scam for money.
There is no such thing as a reality TV show it's a TV show, there are writers, producers, directors, and scripts everything is predetermined the only reality aspect of it are the performances, which are also determined based on the show's requirements
A reality tv show is a genre of shows. It is indeed a type of show because people in the industry who actually know what they’re talking about make the rules, not you.
DemApples Juicy I can sing and I already have a decent backstory (me growing up with autism but since it's TV they would obviously make the story so much more dramatic and add fake parts into it) I would just never audition for that shit show. I'd rather audition for a singing competition that's less scummy.
how to win AGT (or at least get the golden buzzer) 1. be a child 2. have a huge sob story or visible disability 3. be a singer, a ventriloquist, a magician, or a comedian 3a. if you sing, then sing a pop or opera song 3b. if you do ventriloquism then have the puppet talk about how shit you are or how lovely one of the judges looks 3c. if you're a comedian then either be loud and energetic or highly self-deprecating 4. if you decide to do something else other then the previously listed possible acts, then make sure whatever it is has something to do with dancing. anything else simply will not do.
You ignored the fact that statistically speaking, the show tends to favor singing acts more then any other act, with the fact that Olaty dogs was the first non singing act to win AGT. Along with the fact that out of all the instances of the golden buzzer being used it’s been used almost every time for a singing act, with I think maybe at least 10 non singing acts getting the golden buzzer. And yes I know in season 2 a guy who did puppets won, but he was also a singing act too so until season 7, that was the closes to a non singing act we had win.
Yeah ikr! I’ve noticed this too. I don’t get why people are crazy about singing like it’s the only true natural talent. Like bitch I LOVVVVVE music but it pisses me off when the judges pass off such talented people just so the singers can have the spotlight.
That’s stupid as fuck. What’s the point of going on AGT and knowing there’s a slight chance you might not make it and if you don’t then you’ll quit like wot?
I actually know someone whose daughter was on the show. He told me that the producers told them everything to do. When the show aired, he said that everything he was told to do was edited to make it look like a sob story.
"Hello, my name is LittleWhiteGirl. I'm an orphan, have every disease in the book, and actually I'm literally fucking deceased right now" *gold buzzer*
To actually get on the show you need to sign a legally binding contract which basically takes all of your rights to talk about the program in a negative way. All reality shows are like this.
Also, they put audio of clapping. You could hear a huge audience applauding something, but you can see that at the same time the audio is playing, no audience member is clapping
TBH the producers are the ones who make fake background stories. Just apply to one of the auditions and get a contract from them. They state that they baiscally can do whatever they want with your character, including defamation.
The entire show is scripted. Many of the acts are ringers that the producers found on UA-cam or whatnot. Some of these people have been called in for multiple seasons. Some have been called into perform on one show (say America's Got Talent) after winning another show (say Japan's Got Talent). Some of the acts are given a backstory by the producers. The decision is made ahead of time which acts will go through, and even the judges comments may be scripted. Things like when the buzzers will be pushed are scripted. They script the audience reactions, recording the crowd multiple times and coaching them until they get the shots they want. If you watch carefully you'll see some of the same people in the crowd for multiple seasons of the show (usually a particular person who has a strong reaction, usually this person is wearing a mic or otherwise has the audio of her "reaction" recorded). I swear I've seen one particular young lady like 20 times over the years reacting in the audience. It's always quick shots, and of course she wears different outfits, hairstyles, etc, but I swear it's the same person. This makes sense of course. It's a tv show, and the producers presumably hire some "ringers" for the audience to get the reactions they want. Everything is very cleverly edited. For example, you might see a singer performing a song, and then a shot of the audience booing. However, the shot of the audience booing may have been for a completely different act on a completely different day, but the producers wanted to make it look like the singer "turned the crowd around", so they edited in the clip of the audience booing, then back to a shot of the singer hitting a big high note, then back to a completely different shot of the audience jumping to their feet clapping, then a shot of the judges going "WOW! Did you see that!?!?" But all of those camera shots were from different performances or different days or different takes, just all edited together to look like it's genuinely recorded live. The producers also decide what the performers get to perform. For example, they tell the singers what song to do (which makes the singer look dumb when the judges say "I didn't like the song choice, I don't think it was right for you"). I'm quite certain they also pre-screen and possibly even script the jokes the comedians tell. The producers know very early on who is going to "win". They craft the narrative from start to finish to fit that ending. If a little girl singer is going to win, then the producers either don't let better singers make it to the live rounds, or they give those singers terrible song choices, or they screw with their microphone settings, or they instruct the singer to act a particular way that makes them come across as unlikeable so that the audience will want them voted off. The producers generally put through just the right acts to make it tense and exciting, to create those "oh my gosh, I can't believe it!" moments when somebody makes it over somebody else, when the winner is revealed, etc. Another example: If you watch the show enough years, you'll notice the structure and the acts are all very much alike. 1 dog/animal act, 1-2 magicians, 1-3 dance crews, a few singers of various extremes (very young, very old, very flamboyant, very weird, very pop, very opera, etc), a novelty act, etc. It's generally very consistent, and the way it all unfolds tends to be pretty consistent as well. Other things you'll notice....The best people don't win, and are generally not portrayed well. For example, Donald Braswell was very good. Did he win? No. The producers scripted a whole "turning the audience around" moment to add extra emotional power to his story about losing his voice in a car accident. They conveniently danced around the fact that he was a professional singer of course. But they built up his inspiring story for a bit to add extra power and drama for when the chosen winner "beat" him. The chosen winner that year was Neal Boyd, a singer who predictably was scripted to sing "Nessun Dorma" (how many times have the producers done that now??). Donald Braswell was given "You Raise Me Up", which seems to be another favorite of the AGT producers. Yeah, you'll see a lot of the same songs over and over. Not because singers like to do overdone songs, but because the producers are scripting it. Lindsey Stirling is another interesting example. She auditioned one year, made to the televised round, and then got voted off by the judges with some extremely harsh critiques about her violin playing sounding like cats being strangled. The producers probably thought she was a good candidate for people to laugh at. Lindsey persevered and built a very successful career for herself on UA-cam, and after a couple years she got an email from a blissfully unaware AGT producer or scout who said he had seen her videos and thought she would be a great candidate for their show, and would she be willing to do it? This happens more often than you think. People like Angelica Hale aren't unknowns. They're specially invited, and the producers make it look like they auditioned just like everybody else. I could go on and on. It's all fake. It's impossible to tell what is real with that show, because 90% or more of it is scripted by the producers or created by clever editing. They can easily make whoever they want look loveable, or mean, or whatever they want. They can make the audience fall in love with their chosen candidate, or make them hate a candidate they are planning to eliminate. It's not "reality tv". It's a tv show, just like any other tv show. It may be loosely based on some real people and events, but it's all a carefully written and scripted show. It has more in common with something like Gotham or NCIS or any other tv show you can think of. It's not a talent show. It's a tv show. It's fake. It's not real.
AWorldWithoutTenors dude u should make a commentary channel tbh honest like even if its 3 minutes this comment can be used as a script with a little changing to make it sound like a script and not a comment..
+10 AWorldWithoutTenors= thank U for such a superb explanation. i thought it was for real. if they do like this----its cheating. if the church scripted life of Jesus as they wanted=its a fake. then we live together with such a big lie, strong enough to punish people in the Middle Ages. like to burn on a stake.
Март Author Well, technically it's not cheating. It's their show and they can run it how they like. I don't think they've ever explicitly claimed that it was 100% real. It's sort of like Disneyland. Disneyland isn't technically real, but they do a very good job of making kids believe they are meeting the real Disney characters. However, they never explicitly say "this is the real character that you saw in the movie". If you want to buy into the illusion and believe that it's real, that's fine. But it's not. But then again, that's just life. Very, very few things in life are exactly what they seem. Famous movie producers turn out to be sexual predators, famous athletes turn out to be criminals, restaurants often have filthy kitchen and poor food handling procedures, doctors often completely miss obvious signs of illness or totally misdiagnose something, Broadway shows are just actors in costumes pretending (as opposed to the show being real), etc, etc. Anyone who believes that things are exactly what they seem to be is in for a rude awakening at some point. There are also many really good things about life, lots of love and joy and beauty and whatnot. But don't believe things at face value, because most things are not what they seem to be.
"Reality" television has never been real. The producers "guide" the show in the direction they want it to go. I am a magician and I have watched these so-called magic acts on this show and I can tell when they edit. Not to mention the reactions the judges have over mediocre magic tricks that most amateur magicians can do on any given day. I have seen magic acts that use methods that have been around for ages, and to see the judges "act" like they are really impressed by these tricks that any kid with a magic set can do, tells me all I need to know about how fake this particular show really is.... pathetic!
Russ Wright It's not about how hard the magic is. It's about how you perform it. A guy doing an ambitious card routine and laughig and being charismatic is better than a magician who performs a sleight that he has practiced for months but used a plain boring voice. The audience sees what they see and doesn't care how they did the sleight.
I agree. I have seen magicians do very simple tricks and impress people with them. including me. With all do respect, my point wasn't about the magic itself. I just used magic to make my point which was about how fake this particular show is and the fact that the judges "sometimes" over act and they edit the content for the sake of ratings. Hell, some of my tricks are simple to do but since you can't edit life, I at least know the reactions I get are genuine. I have seen them edit tricks on this show, not to keep you from knowing how it's done but to make them look more impressive. Why else would they edit a live show? On the show The Carbonaro effect, they have to edit to keep the secrets safe. That I get... My point being, reality T.V., is not reality.
Another low-class magician with no name claiming to be better than those performing magicians. If you're so good try to get into TV, maybe AGT, maybe Penn&Teller, well forget about FISM you won't even make it there. I'm no magician but I'm sick of seeing weakass magicians who failed to solve tricks by better magicians accuse those better magicians to have used CGI, video edit, and stuff. Prove yourself rather than accuse other magicians just because you failed to solve their tricks. Perhaps when you were in school everytime you failed to solve a math question you blamed your math teacher.
Tina Lemma. I mean it is filmed in front of a live audience and then later edited. We don't see it exactly how the audience does. I don't think they use CGI but they do edit to make a trick look better sometimes. However, there are UA-camrs that use Cg to make you think it's a trick when it is just special effects.
This season they had an escape artist and his first escape was ridiculously cheesy with his wife screaming and crying that the trick had gone wrong (he was essentially buried alive). The judges acted freaked out and demanded that the emergency staff get him out of the wooden box. Of course he was fine. Fast-forward to his second trick on the live show where he was in a box suspended over spikes and fire, and the box got stuck. One of the judges said something of the effect of, "Did something actually go wrong this time?" Meaning that the first trick worked as intended. I get that it's a show and some dramatics are necessary, but the reactions of the wife and judges were obnoxiously bad/fake on the first trick.
that was most likely a joke. The first act, whether the judges were in on it or not, it was meant to look like he failed. Then the second time they probably were joking. i cant really say because you havent linked the orginal video but magicians use this trick all the time; they seem to have failed the trick but miraculous survive and reveal that it was all part of the show
Andrea S and the escape artist Damian told in his vlog/youtube channel that he joined AGT not bcs himself but bcs he's invited by AGT crew who interested with his work at his yt channel, he's already an established illusionist/magician in Indonesia, it's not complete illusion, his work full of tricks and needs some crew to assist him, so AGT is like ask these kind of people to fill the show, that's the reason why the so so singer or lil kid or dogs win in the end bcs the talent like magician/circus/acrobatic dancer and etc are invited and they may have their own contract to play in some episodes.
Of course 😅 I just came to see agt and so disappointed at the moment, the especially the audience and the judges, so so fake 🤣 how come is that become real ? Get tricked always by tv shows again and again, from now don't trust tv show anymore, just trust the movie and series
How to win AGT 1) Be a child 2) Have a sob story dealing with some mental illness, disability, or chronic disease (obviously fake) 3) Be a singer 4) What do you wanna do when you win this competition? I want to have a better place for me and my family. 5) Have some talent And there you go, have fun winning AGT
Plenty of adult winners. It is impressive when you’re young and have talent like you’re going to be so good when you become an adult like most contestants.
Jackie Flowers the only ones that are real are Cops and Intervention. I've read a bit about intervention...they say it's hectic. There were family members of addicts on that show that had thanked one of the women cameramen. There are actually alot of people from intervention who ended up committing suicide or overdose later on. Unfortunately it was a very real show.
Jackie Flowers I would sue them. I don't know how it goes in america, but here we pay for 'got talent'. If it's free, then they can lie however they want. But we actually pay for it. We vote with sms with extra charge. If milions of people sens an 1$ sms to vote based on a false story, these people can sue to get back 1$ each. Lying with intent to get substantial financial gain is criminal offence. Just like it is a criminal offense to collect money for a charity that does not exist. You can't say 'i didn't steal it. People gave it to me on their own'. The lie makes it a scam. But if in USA agt makes money without revenue from extra charge sms for voting, you can't complain.
There was a guy that used to attend the same school as me. Like 2 or 3 years since he graduated (or even 1), he auditioned in the Got Talent version of my country, got through next round, rehearsed his "dubstep beatbox" technique the next day after the episode... and didn't even get through for some reason... well only like 2 or 3 acts from the televised ones didn't get through to the next round with counting him in. Meanwhile another kid that goes to the same school as me now (way younger than me btw) went through the liveshows eventually.
IABI TV In Croatia only 60 contestants can pass to semi-finals so a lot of people who got 4 yes get eliminated but they show it on TV. Golden buzzer is so they can't get eliminated.
It's not fake. But its highly regulated. They wont let you get on the show if you simply have a talent. There's a ton of executive producers working behind the scenes to make the acts on the show as varied and as interesting as possible. Furthermore, the people on the show are carefully chosen from tens of thousands of applicants in order to lead to the highest ratings possible. Yes, even the people that cant sing for shit are brought in to give the illusion of variety(and because people LOVE at laughing at others misfortune -> leads to good ratings). I dont mean to come off as a smartass. But all of this is obvious. If you truly believed that anyone could come and perform, then you're naive.
Someone You Know no... in other words... regulated. Are you serious? Performing in AGT is an honor not to be taken lightly. They arr broadcasted for the whole world to see. Knowing how to play Fur Elise on piano is not going to land you the spot.
I think it should be America’s got voice. because talented people are not just those who sing. I. This show they only considered the singers valuable. There might be a super good magician, but he will get underrated and would have never got to finals.
Usually a competetion and news are fake. While news as we all know.. for competition sometimes the producer already set who is going to win who is going to lose after the audition. Its all for the show. For more audience. For money. Its a fucking business with sneaky corruption.
i was just rewatching the episodes on tv and i was watching the first episode in judge cuts i noticed it zoomed in on these two girls in the audience who were having a reaction to a performance. The next episode of judge cuts, their was a performance and it zoomed in on THOSE SAME TWO GIRLS. So are they re-using audience members, maybe even having paid actors in the audience?
Joda I don’t think so because the winners were well chosen and everyone was really excited about the act. X factor is not that fake, rak su winning wasn’t fake as people loved them and they gained views. Maybe AGT want something surprisingly amazing so they put their elements.
It's about the same as AGT. Also, the contracts the contestants have to sign in BGT are worse. Check out the BGT contract video. That type of contract is illegal on AGT.
Danny Malzahn movies are stories that are told through video. They are not hiding that what is in them is fake. Wrestling and these shows are fake, but they try to pretend it is real. In reality it is all entertainment and it serves its purpose for many people.
Its is indeed totally fixed as my cousin's fiancé has been on AGT several times and has seen behind the scenes and that certain people are actually chosen to win beforehand depending on their likeness, age, and mostly by their backstory which is sooooo stupid. It's also the same for The Voice and American Idol as my cousin's fiancé is a singer and has been on all 3 of these shows and they are all fake and rigged by the producers in order for the show to get more views and publicity. (EDIT): They even give the singers that they want to win more autotune and better voice quality through the microphone than for others which is just dumb lol.
Yea look you just want to put shit on the show because you watched one video and now you think it’s horrible and cousin fiancé? Really that’s a bad excuse kid
Anthony Acevedo My cousin’s name is Andrew and he is getting married this summer in Minnesota (with his fiancé, the singer) and for their honeymoon they are going to take a cruise that was gifted to them by their friend who works on the cruise line. My cousin’s fiancé also travels on cruises performing as well. I am seriously not kidding like I don’t know what to tell you, sorry if you think otherwise, but that’s just your opinion
If you're aged 10-13, no matter what you look like. People go easier on kids, which doesn't make sense to me. I'm also a kid and I would hope people would give me their honest opinions and thoughts on me, no matter my age.
Ben_jamin No point except for ratings. Ratings equal money. Winners don't always get their performance in Vegas and they don't actually win 1 million dollars.
Take 3 seconds to google past winners and see. Terry Fator has made millions of dollars with his act. Paul Zerdin as well. Grace Vanderwaal is quite popular on the young artists music scene. Those are just off the top of my head. Like I said, take 3 seconds to google and you will see many of the talented people on this show have been very successful.
As a participant in an upcoming AGT audition, I can confirm that in the contract given to potentials that you must sign to be on that the producers will have final say on what you do EVEN IN YOUR CALL BACKS AND FIRST ON SCREEN AUDITION. ^w^ so yeah
Can anyone confirm that the vote ultimately does not count and do the producers get to choose who actually goes through to the next round just like in The Voice?
@jacob hansen THink about what you're saying. The votes completely do count. And there is a reason for this 1) The more people who like an act...the more support a) The more support the more future votes, and the more they watch the next weeks show.... i) The more people who watch the show...the more they can charge advertisers...the more money. 2) If they did choose the least popular or one less popular then it would end with less support. 3) The people they do choose to go on the show, are already chosen because they make a good show. We just see the judge part of it but the selection process is quite exhaustive for these type of shows and they check your background story as part of the criteria to even be on the show. They know what they want and at what proportion they want it at. It's the one thing that's not rigged (ever hear of the time american idol had a large internet group vote for the worst won and the person won. Yup
Wrong, there are laws against fraudulently producing a game show or contest show in the US. They were created in the 1950s when it was found out that one of the most popular game shows was rigged. There were congressional hearings and laws made. Look it up, just search for the $64,000 Question scandal.
One of my old pe teachers was a singer and he went on the X Factor. He got passed the second round but later producers said the had enough young men singers.
I can confirm that this may be possibly not even a little but maybe just a little bit but possibly yet not exactly but some what a possibility that this may be something that is very possibly but not surely but still possibly but not entirely true.
well, i knew it when some famous magician from my country entered the show. He came back then reveal everything what happen during the show. First, He's got a call from AGT Agent who offered him an opportunity to perform on AGT. And then, since he's not purely a contestant, they signed a contract and arranged which episode that he will be eliminated. I used to believed in this kind of Reality Talent Shows, but after i saw his explanation (the Magician) on TV, it turns my whole thinking about the show.
I know right. I was thinking the same too about Demian. Like, ffs this is America's Got Tallent and I can asure you Demian Aditya is not even an American, he never live in the US or work in the US. His performance was all staged and his wife was a movie actress and a bad one too because really, why would you present everytime you see your husband do these dangerous stuffs and still cry in each performance? Plus, that was the most over the top cry to even be real
I was a part of the show one season and I do remember being able to chat with other contestants. I remember asking a few where they auditioned and they were like “audition? We got called and ask to be a part of the show. No audition” so they def actively recruit acts to fit the show. I had auditioned and made it to Vegas and that’s where I got to learn more about what goes on
Abby Cooper what about the fact that not everyone that receives 3 yes’s doesn’t make the cut, about the fact that the magic acts are edited(making the judges reaction fake) or the production guiding the contestants what to do?
Abby Cooper no, because the judges have reaction to the magic when nothing is happening, and the producers edit it, so it’s all fake reaction from the judges(specifically for the magic talents)
I guess any average iq person would know that this is all fake. The "acts", the "reactions", the "elimination rounds". Most people watch it for entertainment. Like, Will Tsai's trick might have been fake, but it sure as hell was entertaining!
Will Tsai's was real and edited to ensure that viewers would not use the high frame rates to figure it out. Whoever made the video never reads/watches the sources they refer to
Will Tsai's was real and unedited. Just because you don't know how he did it doesn't mean he cheated. He used a special table which switches the coins when they were under the cards. He did this by pressing pedals with his right foot.
Obviously you are below average since it ISN'T fake". But that is OK. I know there are a lot of people like you whose parents didn't want in the fist place, and therefore failed miserably in raising them, so now they think the world is out to get them since they have never felt the feeling of love, accomplishment or acceptance in their lives. But maybe some day you will get an education and actually do something that makes you useful to society and understand how the people who matter live.
Vincent Cuttolo my sister works at HBO in the writers room. She went to the USC film school. She has alot of connections. But props to you for not believing everything you see on the internet. But i'm not lying.
She does. You trying to tell me she isn't is pointless cause she is literally my sister. And what I meant by my first reply was in the writers room for the show Watchmen that will be coming out. Damon Lindelof the writer of leftovers in the main writer for the series.
No, I'm trying to show her credibility because Vincent Cuttolo said that saying your sisters friend said something is not believable. But when you give context by saying that they're both in that industry then it makes more sense.
Let me tell you guys my story Last year my parents let me go audition for agt last year, I was so excited because it was my dream. My sister kept on telling me that it was fake, but I didn't listen. So we got there and the audition was different than what you see on tv. It was me and 7 other people (I swear one of them was sophia pecora) and there was a producer, you had to tell her your name, age, where you were from and what you'll be doing. I sang and the the audition was over. My mom swears that she saw the lady pick up my application because my mom had crumpled it a little and the other were neat and not crumpled. Then a few months later I found that I didn't make it, I wanted to stop singing because that was my frickin dream. And then I found out the truth: they pick people who are already famous. So many people were at the audition and I didn't see any of them on this current season. So if you still want to audition, prepare to have your dreams crushed.
I just got sick and tired of the stinking sob stories that were supposed to make the audience want to support the performer because they had such a tough life or such and such a tragedy. I hate it when TV assholes try to manipulate me and I hate it even more when audiences fall for it.
true, but i wonder if that's her dad at all... we will never know. or he is, but they overdramatized it, not the death part, of course. it's bad taste to disrespect the dead EDIT: my apologies, that is certainly her dad, but the producers of the show can control of how much they want to add to the story.
well even though its a bad thing shes definitely gonna get more voted that way. i feel that evie got through judge cute just because of her story, shes an average singer with a sappy story, girls at my school can sing ten times better but wouldn't make it far because they have no sad story. the show is becoming a popularity contest.

Is AGT America's got talent
Or Australia's got talent
Dan Dan this is America’s got talent
I have a friend who's uncle is an amazing singer, and he went and tried out for AGT and got cut, but a man in a tutu dancing made it.
Thats so sad and funny at the same time lol
Ayla Ault sounds about right...
Thanagor of Scourge that’s random ;-;
sad
It doesn't mean that he was good if only U think that or idk ur family
AGT also seems to care more about the Performer's backstory than the actual act.
Yeah and o understand you want to want people to be intrwsted in your story but some.people.milk a sad story for attentipn or bettwr chance at winning
Yup so stupid
@@johncritcher9290 I don’t really care about the stories I just like seeing the contestants kick ass on the course
And when the contestant has an ACTUAL talent (like a scary act) they hit their buzzers cause they're "tOo UnCoMfOrTaBlE"
Also I think most of them are too forgiving??? I think they're more professional in X Factor, but here they HAVE to always be accepting because they wanna cater to the audience, not for the sake of art

Hey Special Head here. Not only did they not allow me to perform with the Tesla Coil in correction, the 3rd round. An entity I cannot name, for AGT will sue me, talked me into letting them build for me a disappearing illusion and then they made that illusion fail on live TV intentionally to justify kicking me off the show they've done this too many other acts. It's utterly despicable and nothing short of slander
I cant even imagine how frustrating that must be.I do not even watch the show anymore because of its bias lies, and fake sob stories.
maybe what happened with demain aditya too.
Sorry man, that's really sad. If it means anything, my family and I really enjoyed your act and found it unique and entertaining. I stopped watching it because everyone rides in their back story, if you were maimed in a freak accident, are a veteran, or a cute kid, you're in, if you are actually talented but don't have a big story, then ya just don't make it. It made me so mad to see all the true talent great voted off because someone had a better back story. So I just quit watching. I'm really sorry this happened to you, you didn't deserve it. ☹️🌹
Special Head Damn that's unfortunate. 😐
I stopped watching AGT because singers and dancers are pretty much the only acts that make it to the end of the show. There are dozens of sing and dance shows, group or solo, yet a show that opens the door to magic, Vegas acts, Carnival routines, etc. those acts rarely make it to the end. It makes no sense.

Daniel Danielsen unreal TV
My sister auditioned for AGT when she was 11, she absolutely killed it! She is one of the best singer i’ve ever heard. Later did we find out the only reason she wasn’t excepted was because her backstory wasn’t “ good enough “
Wow.
Their intention is not to discover talent, But to make money. A sad story draws the crowd, therefore more money. So people with touching back story favoured. Simple...
Say that she was born at a young age or her great great grandma died a long time ago, then she would win
Now you guys know to make up some horse shit that's completely false
@@sholmes_ttyy honestly, I just watched the show cause I liked to see what people did and if people did the same thing (like singing), see how it was different. I only stopped watching after that thing with the backstories cause let's be honest, you can tell it's fake when every damn contestant has some sad backstory (not that they couldn't have one but it's just too convenient)
That and the show is ridiculously biased towards singing acts. Especially in these last few seasons when Simon Cowell became a judge.
trc2rockon singing acts and really young people/ children and teens
the show has been for a long time before simon was ever a judge...which unless it's more than a solo act I find boring since we already have singing reality tv
trc2rockon u forgot how defying gravity lost to a musician?
tbh i think if u write ur own songs go on agt if not just sing cover on he voice or something
Totally agree. When singing acts have dozens of other shows they could audition for instead it's frustrating that they take the slots from genuine potential Vegas acts.

Any reality tv competition show is fake... everything will either be heightened or twisted to make it more interesting.
Women fake a lot but I don't hear many guys complain! In other words: you are right.
The voice is real. My uncle made it to the live rounds and nothing was ever unfair or controlled by the producers.
Jordan Haller I don't think that's quite right though, like it's not fixed as such but you still have to go through a shit tonne of producers before you even make it to the judges auditions.. it's just one of those things where they want to see if someone has the entertainment value.
and you know what? I think its ok...AGT is entertaining, people enjoy it and we talk about it. Its kind of the point on making a reality show, if you want to watch a REAL reality show, watch online traffic webcam around the world and try to find something interesting in it...
Hmmm I think your missing the point, especially when people pay money and vote for people when its rigged anyways, hence why its just stupid. If you know its rigged and you still chose to watch it then you my friend are very naive.
Remember that Pink tribute act, Zoe Alexander in Xfactor UK?
Everyone thought she was crazy.
The producers literally humiliated her in front of everyone making her look stupid.
df2ll she was crazy lol. She got mad because she was an idiot. The judges had a point when she said she wanted to separate from pink and do her own thing, then she sings pink... thats stupid. The dude who sang Cupid’s Shuffle did the same thing on the voice. He was mad he was a one hit wonder, and wanted to make a name for himself outside of that song, but then he sang that song! They both didn’t think it through lol. P.S. I’m just arguing against this one act you are referring to, not that AGT/BGT aren’t rigged.
Tim Wiena
Tim Wienand no, the lady wanted to sing another song but the producers wanted her to sing it.
Tim Wienand No, but that's exactly the point. Zoe didn't chose the Pink song. The producers chose it for her. Which is why she started screaming at the judges (who were not at fault, just the producers) that they told her to sing a pink song. She seriously got screwed over, wanting to sing a non-pink song, and the bgt production making her sing a pink song, and then getting criticised by the judges for doing that. I mean, she definitely over-reacted, but you can see why she'd be so upset.
Jasmine Lepelaar wait I'm confused when she came on stage she said what song she wanted to sing then they played the back ground music like she asked how did they pick it for her ?

- Be a singer or dancer
- Tell them the backstory
- Cry

Thats true lol "telling sad story" gets the golden buzzer I only felt sad Archie Wiliams it was really sad
There's only one way to win this:
- Be arbitrarily selected by the producers
- Have above average skills in a stage-compatible talent
The rest is curated by the show's producers in every way. A lot of times even the backstory is made up by the showrunners if a contestant's backstory isn't sad and/or spicy enough.

A reality tv show is a genre of shows. It is indeed a type of show because people in the industry who actually know what they’re talking about make the rules, not you.
What about the ones where they have people vote for a person?

4. if you decide to do something else other then the previously listed possible acts, then make sure whatever it is has something to do with dancing. anything else simply will not do.

Along with the fact that out of all the instances of the golden buzzer being used it’s been used almost every time for a singing act, with I think maybe at least 10 non singing acts getting the golden buzzer.
And yes I know in season 2 a guy who did puppets won, but he was also a singing act too so until season 7, that was the closes to a non singing act we had win.

In order to find out if it’s real or not then just try to sign up to perform on stage.
To actually get on the show you need to sign a legally binding contract which basically takes all of your rights to talk about the program in a negative way. All reality shows are like this.
ive seen contracts like this its you basically selling your natural body to them you cant say shit about the show ever
ComedyCravings my friend did, and didnt get to go to the stage
Underscore Zero but its just to find out for your self, but ya I get you.

Also, they put audio of clapping. You could hear a huge audience applauding something, but you can see that at the same time the audio is playing, no audience member is clapping
TBH the producers are the ones who make fake background stories. Just apply to one of the auditions and get a contract from them. They state that they baiscally can do whatever they want with your character, including defamation.

i hate agt when an act goes on several times doing the same dang thing but the judges say its something new each time -_-
Justin 'O' same
Plus I had a friend on this show, and they made up his backstory.
Why Kiki T ?
who
Proof?
Yeah, if you have a sob story the judges can't say no to you
Here's a rule of thumb for UA-cam comments: if you claim something and you don't say a name it's not true.
The entire show is scripted. Many of the acts are ringers that the producers found on UA-cam or whatnot. Some of these people have been called in for multiple seasons. Some have been called into perform on one show (say America's Got Talent) after winning another show (say Japan's Got Talent). Some of the acts are given a backstory by the producers. The decision is made ahead of time which acts will go through, and even the judges comments may be scripted. Things like when the buzzers will be pushed are scripted.
They script the audience reactions, recording the crowd multiple times and coaching them until they get the shots they want. If you watch carefully you'll see some of the same people in the crowd for multiple seasons of the show (usually a particular person who has a strong reaction, usually this person is wearing a mic or otherwise has the audio of her "reaction" recorded). I swear I've seen one particular young lady like 20 times over the years reacting in the audience. It's always quick shots, and of course she wears different outfits, hairstyles, etc, but I swear it's the same person. This makes sense of course. It's a tv show, and the producers presumably hire some "ringers" for the audience to get the reactions they want.
Everything is very cleverly edited. For example, you might see a singer performing a song, and then a shot of the audience booing. However, the shot of the audience booing may have been for a completely different act on a completely different day, but the producers wanted to make it look like the singer "turned the crowd around", so they edited in the clip of the audience booing, then back to a shot of the singer hitting a big high note, then back to a completely different shot of the audience jumping to their feet clapping, then a shot of the judges going "WOW! Did you see that!?!?" But all of those camera shots were from different performances or different days or different takes, just all edited together to look like it's genuinely recorded live.
The producers also decide what the performers get to perform. For example, they tell the singers what song to do (which makes the singer look dumb when the judges say "I didn't like the song choice, I don't think it was right for you"). I'm quite certain they also pre-screen and possibly even script the jokes the comedians tell.
The producers know very early on who is going to "win". They craft the narrative from start to finish to fit that ending. If a little girl singer is going to win, then the producers either don't let better singers make it to the live rounds, or they give those singers terrible song choices, or they screw with their microphone settings, or they instruct the singer to act a particular way that makes them come across as unlikeable so that the audience will want them voted off. The producers generally put through just the right acts to make it tense and exciting, to create those "oh my gosh, I can't believe it!" moments when somebody makes it over somebody else, when the winner is revealed, etc.
Another example: If you watch the show enough years, you'll notice the structure and the acts are all very much alike. 1 dog/animal act, 1-2 magicians, 1-3 dance crews, a few singers of various extremes (very young, very old, very flamboyant, very weird, very pop, very opera, etc), a novelty act, etc. It's generally very consistent, and the way it all unfolds tends to be pretty consistent as well.
Other things you'll notice....The best people don't win, and are generally not portrayed well. For example, Donald Braswell was very good. Did he win? No. The producers scripted a whole "turning the audience around" moment to add extra emotional power to his story about losing his voice in a car accident. They conveniently danced around the fact that he was a professional singer of course. But they built up his inspiring story for a bit to add extra power and drama for when the chosen winner "beat" him. The chosen winner that year was Neal Boyd, a singer who predictably was scripted to sing "Nessun Dorma" (how many times have the producers done that now??). Donald Braswell was given "You Raise Me Up", which seems to be another favorite of the AGT producers. Yeah, you'll see a lot of the same songs over and over. Not because singers like to do overdone songs, but because the producers are scripting it.
Lindsey Stirling is another interesting example. She auditioned one year, made to the televised round, and then got voted off by the judges with some extremely harsh critiques about her violin playing sounding like cats being strangled. The producers probably thought she was a good candidate for people to laugh at. Lindsey persevered and built a very successful career for herself on UA-cam, and after a couple years she got an email from a blissfully unaware AGT producer or scout who said he had seen her videos and thought she would be a great candidate for their show, and would she be willing to do it? This happens more often than you think. People like Angelica Hale aren't unknowns. They're specially invited, and the producers make it look like they auditioned just like everybody else.
I could go on and on. It's all fake. It's impossible to tell what is real with that show, because 90% or more of it is scripted by the producers or created by clever editing. They can easily make whoever they want look loveable, or mean, or whatever they want. They can make the audience fall in love with their chosen candidate, or make them hate a candidate they are planning to eliminate.
It's not "reality tv". It's a tv show, just like any other tv show. It may be loosely based on some real people and events, but it's all a carefully written and scripted show. It has more in common with something like Gotham or NCIS or any other tv show you can think of. It's not a talent show. It's a tv show. It's fake. It's not real.
ok....you're like spot on with this (I was on it so I kno). this was well-written and explained!!
AWorldWithoutTenors dude u should make a commentary channel tbh honest like even if its 3 minutes this comment can be used as a script with a little changing to make it sound like a script and not a comment..

if they do like this----its cheating.
if the church scripted life of Jesus as they wanted=its a fake.
then we live together with such a big lie, strong enough to punish people in the Middle Ages. like to burn on a stake.
Март Author Well, technically it's not cheating. It's their show and they can run it how they like. I don't think they've ever explicitly claimed that it was 100% real. It's sort of like Disneyland. Disneyland isn't technically real, but they do a very good job of making kids believe they are meeting the real Disney characters. However, they never explicitly say "this is the real character that you saw in the movie". If you want to buy into the illusion and believe that it's real, that's fine. But it's not. But then again, that's just life. Very, very few things in life are exactly what they seem. Famous movie producers turn out to be sexual predators, famous athletes turn out to be criminals, restaurants often have filthy kitchen and poor food handling procedures, doctors often completely miss obvious signs of illness or totally misdiagnose something, Broadway shows are just actors in costumes pretending (as opposed to the show being real), etc, etc. Anyone who believes that things are exactly what they seem to be is in for a rude awakening at some point. There are also many really good things about life, lots of love and joy and beauty and whatnot. But don't believe things at face value, because most things are not what they seem to be.
Kid:"Doesnt have a talent and keeps talking about his Uncles Kidney Failure"
Judges:*OMG THATS SO BRAVE!!!!!*
And this is why I'm never auditioning for that show.
Crazy Peppers That, and you need talent to get on it, too.
Doctor I was going to say that exactly! Lmao
Doctor 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same here. I'm not going watch it, next year.
I’d love to audition and sing some ariana but I know I’d get 4 red buzzers😂
"Reality" television has never been real. The producers "guide" the show in the direction they want it to go. I am a magician and I have watched these so-called magic acts on this show and I can tell when they edit. Not to mention the reactions the judges have over mediocre magic tricks that most amateur magicians can do on any given day. I have seen magic acts that use methods that have been around for ages, and to see the judges "act" like they are really impressed by these tricks that any kid with a magic set can do, tells me all I need to know about how fake this particular show really is.... pathetic!
Russ Wright It's not about how hard the magic is. It's about how you perform it. A guy doing an ambitious card routine and laughig and being charismatic is better than a magician who performs a sleight that he has practiced for months but used a plain boring voice. The audience sees what they see and doesn't care how they did the sleight.
I agree. I have seen magicians do very simple tricks and impress people with them. including me. With all do respect, my point wasn't about the magic itself. I just used magic to make my point which was about how fake this particular show is and the fact that the judges "sometimes" over act and they edit the content for the sake of ratings. Hell, some of my tricks are simple to do but since you can't edit life, I at least know the reactions I get are genuine. I have seen them edit tricks on this show, not to keep you from knowing how it's done but to make them look more impressive. Why else would they edit a live show? On the show The Carbonaro effect, they have to edit to keep the secrets safe. That I get... My point being, reality T.V., is not reality.
How can you edit something that's live tho? Just a question..
Another low-class magician with no name claiming to be better than those performing magicians. If you're so good try to get into TV, maybe AGT, maybe Penn&Teller, well forget about FISM you won't even make it there. I'm no magician but I'm sick of seeing weakass magicians who failed to solve tricks by better magicians accuse those better magicians to have used CGI, video edit, and stuff. Prove yourself rather than accuse other magicians just because you failed to solve their tricks. Perhaps when you were in school everytime you failed to solve a math question you blamed your math teacher.
Tina Lemma. I mean it is filmed in front of a live audience and then later edited. We don't see it exactly how the audience does. I don't think they use CGI but they do edit to make a trick look better sometimes. However, there are UA-camrs that use Cg to make you think it's a trick when it is just special effects.
I knew Americas got talent was fake because they would never let a rocksinger on the show. Its always pop and opera shit. (Its not shit)
They never let a rockstar on the show because it's obvious that they have talent, which is implied by the title "rockSTAR"
Nolan Elwood i meant a rock singer.
Do you mean rock singer as a regular person that likes to sing rock, or someone that does it professionally?
Xanthe indeed ❤
Maya Ash there is no proof the show is fake
Just came here after the Zoe Alexander story was exposed.
Ok
Anericas got talent is fake news
ronald7795 no you are
*America but I still liked
Like CNN
*FAKE NEWS*
ronald7795 LOL american got talent is not a news its a damn show
This season they had an escape artist and his first escape was ridiculously cheesy with his wife screaming and crying that the trick had gone wrong (he was essentially buried alive). The judges acted freaked out and demanded that the emergency staff get him out of the wooden box. Of course he was fine. Fast-forward to his second trick on the live show where he was in a box suspended over spikes and fire, and the box got stuck. One of the judges said something of the effect of, "Did something actually go wrong this time?" Meaning that the first trick worked as intended. I get that it's a show and some dramatics are necessary, but the reactions of the wife and judges were obnoxiously bad/fake on the first trick.
that was most likely a joke. The first act, whether the judges were in on it or not, it was meant to look like he failed. Then the second time they probably were joking.
i cant really say because you havent linked the orginal video but magicians use this trick all the time; they seem to have failed the trick but miraculous survive and reveal that it was all part of the show
Andrea S
Andrea S and the escape artist Damian told in his vlog/youtube channel that he joined AGT not bcs himself but bcs he's invited by AGT crew who interested with his work at his yt channel, he's already an established illusionist/magician in Indonesia, it's not complete illusion, his work full of tricks and needs some crew to assist him, so AGT is like ask these kind of people to fill the show, that's the reason why the so so singer or lil kid or dogs win in the end bcs the talent like magician/circus/acrobatic dancer and etc are invited and they may have their own contract to play in some episodes.
I agree with the wife's reactions. They were so ridiculously fake.
siddhartha das plot twist: the wife is fake.
I always thought americas got talent seemed fake
it is lol
Of course 😅 I just came to see agt and so disappointed at the moment, the especially the audience and the judges, so so fake 🤣 how come is that become real ? Get tricked always by tv shows again and again, from now don't trust tv show anymore, just trust the movie and series
How to win AGT
1) Be a child
2) Have a sob story dealing with some mental illness, disability, or chronic disease (obviously fake)
3) Be a singer
4) What do you wanna do when you win this competition? I want to have a better place for me and my family.
5) Have some talent
And there you go, have fun winning AGT
Plenty of adult winners. It is impressive when you’re young and have talent like you’re going to be so good when you become an adult like most contestants.
all "reality" tv shows are fake this isnt something i didnt know about lol
Jackie Flowers obviously
Jackie Flowers the only ones that are real are Cops and Intervention. I've read a bit about intervention...they say it's hectic. There were family members of addicts on that show that had thanked one of the women cameramen. There are actually alot of people from intervention who ended up committing suicide or overdose later on. Unfortunately it was a very real show.
Jackie Flowers i always thought game shows were fake and rigged
Jackie Flowers I would sue them. I don't know how it goes in america, but here we pay for 'got talent'. If it's free, then they can lie however they want. But we actually pay for it. We vote with sms with extra charge. If milions of people sens an 1$ sms to vote based on a false story, these people can sue to get back 1$ each. Lying with intent to get substantial financial gain is criminal offence. Just like it is a criminal offense to collect money for a charity that does not exist. You can't say 'i didn't steal it. People gave it to me on their own'. The lie makes it a scam. But if in USA agt makes money without revenue from extra charge sms for voting, you can't complain.
Jackie Flowers didn't*
Auditioned in the preliminary in 2009. Was told by producers I was one of the best rap acts they've seen. Never got a call back. Fk AGT.
There was a guy that used to attend the same school as me. Like 2 or 3 years since he graduated (or even 1), he auditioned in the Got Talent version of my country, got through next round, rehearsed his "dubstep beatbox" technique the next day after the episode... and didn't even get through for some reason... well only like 2 or 3 acts from the televised ones didn't get through to the next round with counting him in. Meanwhile another kid that goes to the same school as me now (way younger than me btw) went through the liveshows eventually.
Roy Sunshine *go back to reddit they need you*
They didn't want you to feel bad
IABI TV In Croatia only 60 contestants can pass to semi-finals so a lot of people who got 4 yes get eliminated but they show it on TV. Golden buzzer is so they can't get eliminated.
It's not fake. But its highly regulated.
They wont let you get on the show if you simply have a talent. There's a ton of executive producers working behind the scenes to make the acts on the show as varied and as interesting as possible. Furthermore, the people on the show are carefully chosen from tens of thousands of applicants in order to lead to the highest ratings possible.
Yes, even the people that cant sing for shit are brought in to give the illusion of variety(and because people LOVE at laughing at others misfortune -> leads to good ratings).
I dont mean to come off as a smartass. But all of this is obvious. If you truly believed that anyone could come and perform, then you're naive.
PirateTHESteam1 all they fucking care about is singers
Let's face it about last year's 2017 such as Angelica Hale and Darci Lynne the Ventriloquist, they are just fake
PirateTHESteam1 so in other words.. fake.
Darci Lynne is a singer too she just did her singing in an different and cooler way
Someone You Know no... in other words... regulated. Are you serious? Performing in AGT is an honor not to be taken lightly. They arr broadcasted for the whole world to see. Knowing how to play Fur Elise on piano is not going to land you the spot.
I'll never watch America's Got Talent the same way
Make a sad story
Do something they didn’t know you could do
Cry when they cheer
And boom you get a golden buzzer
V San Replace Do something they didn't know you could do with sing a song
I think it should be America’s got voice. because talented people are not just those who sing. I. This show they only considered the singers valuable. There might be a super good magician, but he will get underrated and would have never got to finals.
Constantinos Chrysostomou Yeah America's Got Talent more like:
Dancers and Singers in America that Have Talent.
I have literally seen multiple people, that aren't singers, go to the finals, and win.
What about 2017, it was a ventriloquist. And 2015 was a magician
Bubblei YT the ventriloquist was singing
EHshadow So? It maybe singing but the whole act was not based around the singing.
I guess some are fake..?
Sholitotz Well than you have the ones the contestants fake. Like that "escape" artist last season.
that phone trick was fake af all scripted by the studio and the judges are in the trick also
what phone trick?
Usually a competetion and news are fake. While news as we all know.. for competition sometimes the producer already set who is going to win who is going to lose after the audition. Its all for the show. For more audience. For money. Its a fucking business with sneaky corruption.
Mostly all you see on TV is fake ( well some news
Even the audience'reactions are fake
They tell the audience to "boo" tf
Yea like wtf
-Claps-
-boo's-
-cheers-
-makes faces-
-dies-
i was just rewatching the episodes on tv and i was watching the first episode in judge cuts i noticed it zoomed in on these two girls in the audience who were having a reaction to a performance. The next episode of judge cuts, their was a performance and it zoomed in on THOSE SAME TWO GIRLS. So are they re-using audience members, maybe even having paid actors in the audience?
I agree with the clown
Is this Britain’s got talent aswell? Is that fake?
Joda I don’t think so because the winners were well chosen and everyone was really excited about the act. X factor is not that fake, rak su winning wasn’t fake as people loved them and they gained views. Maybe AGT want something surprisingly amazing so they put their elements.
It's about the same as AGT. Also, the contracts the contestants have to sign in BGT are worse. Check out the BGT contract video. That type of contract is illegal on AGT.
Joda yeh
*THE GIBBONS* *sarcasm* yeah definitely
Duh 🤦🏾♀️ just because it's British doesn't make it all that different.
They can't fake Angelica Hale's pipes or Darci Lynn's ventriloquism "singing"
Serena H or Preacher's comedy
Yea and nerves can trump talent
Serena H trump talent 😹 (the singing trump)
neither Trumps are talented lol
Serena H true 😂
No shit it's rigged
*Dr. Phil viewers watched this*
Magno Martinez same
Twoset violin viewers watched this.
@@nakshatpandey456 Sacrilegious
define irony
people who dismiss wrestling because it's scripted and fake , yet it's more real than any reality show airing these days
Danny Malzahn movies are stories that are told through video. They are not hiding that what is in them is fake. Wrestling and these shows are fake, but they try to pretend it is real. In reality it is all entertainment and it serves its purpose for many people.
Danny Malzahn I guess your fake and don't exist? (Just joking)
WHY in heaven's name are wrestling results printed in the *sports* section? Beyond stoobid.
@Harvey To further sell the illusion.
paul babuik Wrestling shows are for 5 year olds
Its is indeed totally fixed as my cousin's fiancé has been on AGT several times and has seen behind the scenes and that certain people are actually chosen to win beforehand depending on their likeness, age, and mostly by their backstory which is sooooo stupid. It's also the same for The Voice and American Idol as my cousin's fiancé is a singer and has been on all 3 of these shows and they are all fake and rigged by the producers in order for the show to get more views and publicity. (EDIT): They even give the singers that they want to win more autotune and better voice quality through the microphone than for others which is just dumb lol.
Yea look you just want to put shit on the show because you watched one video and now you think it’s horrible and cousin fiancé? Really that’s a bad excuse kid
Anthony Acevedo I’m seriously not kidding
Anthony Acevedo My cousin’s name is Andrew and he is getting married this summer in Minnesota (with his fiancé, the singer) and for their honeymoon they are going to take a cruise that was gifted to them by their friend who works on the cruise line. My cousin’s fiancé also travels on cruises performing as well. I am seriously not kidding like I don’t know what to tell you, sorry if you think otherwise, but that’s just your opinion
Anthony Acevedo I actually really enjoy all of these shows, so does my family, yet I am just speaking facts
You dont have to reply to this guy. Im pretty sure he justs wants to ruin other peoples days
How to win audition talents:
1. Be good looking
2. Sad backstory
3. Talent
4. #3 optional
America's Got Emotions
Its not only AGT but BGT too.
I have been waiting for a performance by QT crew but it never happened. The season already ended. They had 4 yes's
And not just AGT, but AGT is also scripted
This video isn't real
Russ the French Traveler your comment is not real
There is a spoon.

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't?

"I is poopy 💩🥺😭😭😭😭"
Simon :
"Brillant you're going to the finals !!!"
Wow it be like that
😂😂😂😂
Yeah it’s Rigged if your a blond girl age 10-13 instant win
Best Navy SEAL talking about Darci? Lmao
Butters he’s talking about grace and darci. Yet, there are many blond girls who didn’t win....
If you're aged 10-13, no matter what you look like. People go easier on kids, which doesn't make sense to me. I'm also a kid and I would hope people would give me their honest opinions and thoughts on me, no matter my age.
Best Navy SEAL
*ecksdee*
If you are a kid or you have a dog that can jump through hoops, you are GUARANTEED semi finals.
I knew that something was going on with Americas got talent .... It's a fake
Nitigya Sabharwal thing is, how come it’s a global talent show?
Its so funny how someone can watch one video about something and it makes there perspective change just because of that one video
what if the video makes strong points?
You do know that other countries “got talent” shows are also fake right?
What even happens to all those past winners anyways???? What's even the point????
Ben_jamin No point except for ratings. Ratings equal money. Winners don't always get their performance in Vegas and they don't actually win 1 million dollars.
Ben_jamin The contestants all get exposure which is very valuable as well.
taoist40 lol how do u know they don't get the million dollars have u won before
Take 3 seconds to google past winners and see. Terry Fator has made millions of dollars with his act. Paul Zerdin as well. Grace Vanderwaal is quite popular on the young artists music scene. Those are just off the top of my head. Like I said, take 3 seconds to google and you will see many of the talented people on this show have been very successful.
Season 2 winner Terry Fator is one of the richest acts in Vegas out there. His value is worth tens of millions of dollars...
As a participant in an upcoming AGT audition, I can confirm that in the contract given to potentials that you must sign to be on that the producers will have final say on what you do EVEN IN YOUR CALL BACKS AND FIRST ON SCREEN AUDITION. ^w^ so yeah
which one were you?
wo are you? wat dijja perform??
@@namelesss8226 Wound up not going due to monetary issues.

Omg finally someone feels me
Yes then i get 15 sec ads that i can skip
I think it happens on phones but see them when using the phone. I do not get them on the PC.
Adblock for life.
Can anyone confirm that the vote ultimately does not count and do the producers get to choose who actually goes through to the next round just like in The Voice?
@jacob hansen
THink about what you're saying.
The votes completely do count. And there is a reason for this
1) The more people who like an act...the more support
a) The more support the more future votes, and the more they watch the next weeks show....
i) The more people who watch the show...the more they can charge advertisers...the more money.
2) If they did choose the least popular or one less popular then it would end with less support.
3) The people they do choose to go on the show, are already chosen because they make a good show. We just see the judge part of it but the selection process is quite exhaustive for these type of shows and they check your background story as part of the criteria to even be on the show. They know what they want and at what proportion they want it at.
It's the one thing that's not rigged
(ever hear of the time american idol had a large internet group vote for the worst won and the person won. Yup
Well, there are laws against that so I doubt it.
Hi they have to pull some of the three yes people out the judges pick
Wrong, there are laws against fraudulently producing a game show or contest show in the US. They were created in the 1950s when it was found out that one of the most popular game shows was rigged. There were congressional hearings and laws made. Look it up, just search for the $64,000 Question scandal.
Jacob Hansen Well we don't know and they will never tell us.
One of my old pe teachers was a singer and he went on the X Factor. He got passed the second round but later producers said the had enough young men singers.
Contestant: I broke my leg once
Judges: ok..?

Moy Santiago yeah too many fake show WWF, Reality Show, Even News!
Moy Santiago everything's just for the looks now
I KNEW IT. I've always wondered why people with sad stories always ended up being amazing singers >:O
well, i knew it when some famous magician from my country entered the show. He came back then reveal everything what happen during the show. First, He's got a call from AGT Agent who offered him an opportunity to perform on AGT. And then, since he's not purely a contestant, they signed a contract and arranged which episode that he will be eliminated.
I used to believed in this kind of Reality Talent Shows, but after i saw his explanation (the Magician) on TV, it turns my whole thinking about the show.
I know right. I was thinking the same too about Demian. Like, ffs this is America's Got Tallent and I can asure you Demian Aditya is not even an American, he never live in the US or work in the US. His performance was all staged and his wife was a movie actress and a bad one too because really, why would you present everytime you see your husband do these dangerous stuffs and still cry in each performance? Plus, that was the most over the top cry to even be real
I was a part of the show one season and I do remember being able to chat with other contestants. I remember asking a few where they auditioned and they were like “audition? We got called and ask to be a part of the show. No audition” so they def actively recruit acts to fit the show. I had auditioned and made it to Vegas and that’s where I got to learn more about what goes on
How to win AGT:
1. Be attractive
2. Start playing classical music
3. Stop when everyone’s bored
4. Start stripping
5. Golden Buzzer
You forgot to add "have a sob story" or "be a child"
KONG Ki how did I forget that’s like the most important part
This isn't AGT this is the AGT contestants
Some of the contestants were probably lying but I doubt the judges and the audiences were.
Abby Cooper what about the fact that not everyone that receives 3 yes’s doesn’t make the cut, about the fact that the magic acts are edited(making the judges reaction fake) or the production guiding the contestants what to do?
Abby Cooper thank you
Abby Cooper
Abby Cooper no, because the judges have reaction to the magic when nothing is happening, and the producers edit it, so it’s all fake reaction from the judges(specifically for the magic talents)
I guess any average iq person would know that this is all fake. The "acts", the "reactions", the "elimination rounds".
Most people watch it for entertainment. Like, Will Tsai's trick might have been fake, but it sure as hell was entertaining!
Lord Stinson actually I have the iq of 140 but I didn't know this
Lord Stinson So I guess the singers on the show are all done by tape Some of its fake not all of it
Will Tsai's was real and edited to ensure that viewers would not use the high frame rates to figure it out. Whoever made the video never reads/watches the sources they refer to
Will Tsai's was real and unedited. Just because you don't know how he did it doesn't mean he cheated. He used a special table which switches the coins when they were under the cards. He did this by pressing pedals with his right foot.
Obviously you are below average since it ISN'T fake". But that is OK. I know there are a lot of people like you whose parents didn't want in the fist place, and therefore failed miserably in raising them, so now they think the world is out to get them since they have never felt the feeling of love, accomplishment or acceptance in their lives. But maybe some day you will get an education and actually do something that makes you useful to society and understand how the people who matter live.
It is for a fact. My sisters friend works for the show. It's scripted.
Vincent Cuttolo my sister works at HBO in the writers room. She went to the USC film school. She has alot of connections. But props to you for not believing everything you see on the internet. But i'm not lying.
She does. You trying to tell me she isn't is pointless cause she is literally my sister. And what I meant by my first reply was in the writers room for the show Watchmen that will be coming out. Damon Lindelof the writer of leftovers in the main writer for the series.
Darius Kashani Did you just change your story from “My sisters friend” to “My sister”?
No, I'm trying to show her credibility because Vincent Cuttolo said that saying your sisters friend said something is not believable. But when you give context by saying that they're both in that industry then it makes more sense.
Darius Kashani oh yah I bet
Let me tell you guys my story
Last year my parents let me go audition for agt last year, I was so excited because it was my dream. My sister kept on telling me that it was fake, but I didn't listen. So we got there and the audition was different than what you see on tv. It was me and 7 other people (I swear one of them was sophia pecora) and there was a producer, you had to tell her your name, age, where you were from and what you'll be doing. I sang and the the audition was over. My mom swears that she saw the lady pick up my application because my mom had crumpled it a little and the other were neat and not crumpled. Then a few months later I found that I didn't make it, I wanted to stop singing because that was my frickin dream. And then I found out the truth: they pick people who are already famous. So many people were at the audition and I didn't see any of them on this current season. So if you still want to audition, prepare to have your dreams crushed.
Hope ya doing alright ol pal
I stopped watching because nick canon isn't the host for this season
nbkcq28 DON'T VIEW THE FIRST COMMENT I warned you
Rwby Rose would you prefer Kevin Hart?
Simon Cowell id prefer anyone but her tbh
She's a complete and utter dumpster fire, just brutal. Whenever she starts babbling, I put the TV on mute.
I miss Nick !!
I just got sick and tired of the stinking sob stories that were supposed to make the audience want to support the performer because they had such a tough life or such and such a
tragedy. I hate it when TV assholes try to manipulate me and I hate it even more when audiences fall for it.
honestly the sob stories become so boring. Holy hell just perform already
Evie Clair's Dad passing away wasn't fake
true, but i wonder if that's her dad at all... we will never know. or he is, but they overdramatized it, not the death part, of course. it's bad taste to disrespect the dead
EDIT: my apologies, that is certainly her dad, but the producers of the show can control of how much they want to add to the story.
SPOILER! On tv where I live we're on semi final 3.. But I have serious respect for Evie even more now knowing that her dad passed away.
+naruhinastarr It's definitely her dad. Evie's family has a blog :V
+Geometry Dash MegaMan yeah, i realized that. i apologize. it's so sad :(
well even though its a bad thing shes definitely gonna get more voted that way. i feel that evie got through judge cute just because of her story, shes an average singer with a sappy story, girls at my school can sing ten times better but wouldn't make it far because they have no sad story. the show is becoming a popularity contest.
Actual talented people: exists
AGT: *that's cute but did you get bullied in school* ?
