Simon Cowell on ‘America’s Got Talent’
Posted by admin under UncategorizedET’s with Simon Cowell and David Hasselhoff to get the updates on the new season of “America’s Got Talent.”
When "America’s Got Talent" launches its second season premiere tonight at 9 p.m. on NBC, there are some really weird acts, including a woman named BUSTY HART, who likes to break things (watermelons, bricks) with her breasts, and a 7-foot-2-inch man who simultaneously drinks milk through his nose while explosives are strapped to his stomach. But there are also some talented people: an 84-year-old who the judges say sings better than FRANK SINATRA and a four-year-old girl who those same judges compare to a young SHIRLEY TEMPLE.
"What I like about watching the show is there’s an unpredictability about it," says creator/executive producer SIMON COWELL. "Everyone who comes on the stage genuinely believes that their act is what’s going to take them to Vegas and make them multimillionaires — every one of them."
The audition process for the talent competition is tougher this season, according to Cowell, because in addition to the three official judges — DAVID HASSELHOFF, PIERS MORGAN and SHARON OSBOURNE — the audience gets a say. This feature was incorporated from the British version of the show.
