AMERICA’S GOT TALENT A SEQUEL TO BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT?
AMERICA’S GOT TALENT A SEQUEL TO BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT?
By: Gustavo Lequerica Calvo
Lately there are been several speculations about who could win AGT, the tabloids are giving a party by some out of places of comments and similarities to Britain’s Got talent, those similarities had been seen in this season with the arrival of two performers Neil E. Boyd and four years old Kathleen Maher, probably if you already saw BGT you could compare Neal E. Boyd to Paul Potts both insurance salesman and four years old Kathleen with one of Britain’s breakthrough Connie Talbot which both at the moment of their competitions were the youngest ones in the entire group and they have perfect pitch.
If we keep analyzing we are going to find several archetypes that are found on others Simon Cowell produced shows, such as the bad, the good and the ugly judges, there is going to be one judge who will praise, the other will critic the competitors and there is going to be one of them who never says anything real but he will act as the comic relief, i.e. Hasselhof; but to stop with the comparisons one of the show, one information published by one tabloid said that the price is less than one million dollars and is paid similar as a lottery with an annuity over the years stipulated, and with the taxes and inflation the prize is worth less than the original amount promised, other newspaper The Globe in is August edition said that contest is fixed and they are looking to repeat the same success with Paul in American soil, but we can follow the same pattern even if we don’t read sensationalist media.
But I know if Neal E. Boyd wins and if the 4 years old ends as runner up, I know the competition is fixed because there are other people with a more profitable talent.
