They were quite entertaining. I really liked the one he painted upside down. That was pretty cool.

I enjoyed Joe Castillo’s performances. He could have just drawn pictures in the sand and it would have been impressive enough, but he went farther and actually told stories through the images.

I agree that he was very interesting to watch (though my brother and sister enjoyed him more than I). But I think he wouldn't have done as well if he didn't tell stories.

I agree, that was what made his performances good, as opposed to just impressive. I just meant from an artistic standpoint, it’s absolutely amazing that he can make such incredible images in sand.

Right. I wouldn't even know where to begin if I would doing something like that. I mean, how does one make one picture turn into something totally different with like two swipes?

William Close was pretty interesting. I didn’t catch whatever the judges did that made them think he was the best thing ever and a guaranteed winner, but I was impressed by his various instruments. Very unique.

I found him interesting...But he definitely wasn't my favorite. And I don't really see why the judges liked him so much..

When they were all like ‘We’d finance your act ourselves!’ I thought ‘Then do it. He doesn’t have to win, let someone else win, and then you have two headlining acts.’

I really liked William Close; his last performance (in the final) was good, but I have to admit that the performance the next day was slightly better.
But having said that, after he auditioned, I was like "okay, we can go home now." should've handed over the money then.

Olate Dogs winning was kinda of a let down. They were great the first couple times, and they did get better..but mostly, they seemed to do the same thing each time. I thought America just voted them through on cuteness, as opposed to extraordinary talent. (talent yes, but they weren't my first choice.)

Till the end of the line.

This group reminded me of West Springfield Dance Team from last season because of their theme, but their style was very different. It was unique how they changed everything up part way through. And in their first performance I liked how they made those faces with their arms, that kind of choreography always impresses me.

I've never seen the show. What is it?

P.S. I feel like this is totally one of those illegal bumps >_>

Don’t worry Woody, I’ll make it legal by answering your question.
And if anyone is about to call the authorities, it wasn’t his fault. I asked him to post because I remembered that I had a few other things I wanted to post about, which I will do once I sort out the videos.

This is essentially a big talent show. People audition and the judges pick who they like best into a big group, then slowly weed thought them each round to narrow it down. Eventually it’s turned over to the viewers to vote who to advance.

This was interesting. In more ways than one.

I actually really liked the bells. :-k I couldn't listen to a two-hour show of it, but it's still really different.

Yeah, I thought the instrument was interesting, and I didn’t mind the sound, but the guy was... strange. The judges were a bit too mean to him, but I don’t think they were far off in the long run. This wasn’t a winning act.
