Tonight, at this very moment, I'm watching America's Got Talent and my favorite talent, Kari Callin, was not put through to the next round. Kari has a bi-lateral cleft palette which should give her a terrible speech impediment but instead she can sing like Barbra Streisand. She was the Susan Boyle of AGT for all intensive purposes and humble to a whit and yet... the yodling dominatrix made it to the next round. The 80 year old Elvis impersonator made it to the next round. The woman who used to be on American Idol who sang off-key her entire audition made it to the next round, but not Kari. I am BEYOND pissed.
In her audition, Kari told about a Cruise ship audition she had earlier in her life in which a judge told her that she wasn't what they were looking for before she even began singing. By not letting her through, the AGT judges were just proving that judge right. Kari's not good enough because of what she looks like.
Thank you, AGT, for choosing the gimmicks and the beautiful people over the truly talented. I'm glad that we can count on you to choose the people who are really deserving of the million dollars.
