Tyra Banks mean? No kidding😦 we totally couldn’t tell from the show ANTM( America’s next top model) sacasm

After listening to Gabrielle Union’s book I know why she made sure she always had natural hair shown especially after dealing with racism during her childhood and majority of her life

[tjwash]

Adding the golden buzzer was the downfall of AGT. It essentially changed it from America’s Got Talent to America’s Got a Sad Story The Judges Fall For. I guess that’s AGSSTJFF

Also reminds me of the Courtney Hadwin audition. When she auditioned, she acted super nervous and like she had never preformed infront of a large crowd before. But she had actually previously auditioned and made it pretty far through one of the shows in the UK. I can't remember if it was X Factor or Britians Got Talent. But it was another one of Simon's shows I'm pretty sure. So apparently production made her act all scared and nervous to get people to feel bad for her.

I was in the audience when Simon stole Howie's Golden Buzzer. Everyone around me was very confused.

Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough made AGT fresh and fun. I thought it was the best season. What a shame.

[camillaziliotto]

so many videos coming out killing my childhood by making me realize tyra banks is a horrible person

[ferdsbayas]

I don't know what kind of talent they where looking Marcelito Pomoy got what it Genuine talent.
AGT RACIST.... FAVORITISM even without true talents...

Make a top 10 best DreamWorks movies openings.

[hanssolos]

lets not forget that we allowed simon to be a toxic bully in our tv habits.
its almost 2 decades that tv viewers still gravitate to simon's toxic bullying.
stop approving his bullying.

Also, the Golden Buzzer Simon stole, Howie was going to use it for the magician X, one of my all-time favourite Got Talent acts! I could've had them in the Grand Final!!!

[allanmhanson]

I really think #2 should be #1… the poor guys is paralyzed for life…

[marabrown]

Honestly the whole AGT Champions season was a flop in my opinion. They made fun of a bunch of acts like the Italian guy who played the harmonica. But every BGT winner was given upmost respect. If you have a sad enough story or are a kid, you will make it through.

[ibperson]

I still don't get #5. How was it connected to that act or agt in general?

[kyote]

I had an ex who lied to me about being in the military and being deployed. When he came back, he said that he had lost my engagement ring over there, and sent me these pics supposedly of him and fellow soldiers, but I couldn't see him in any of them. FACTS: he's a lying POS who was NEVER in the military, never had an engagement ring, etc... But was at home still, cheating on me! The story unraveled and this girl and I found out about one another when he left his phone in her car. So when he came to get it, her and I were chatting and she handed the phone to him... She said his face when he clued in was priceless! I loathe liars and stolen valour morons!

[robinbates]

The secret Rihanna was in my opinion was great. The ending of her act just added more suspense too what happened. This should have never been on the list

[samuelpenn]

The toxic work environment that got Ellen DeGeneres show canceled is the same thing that lead to the firing of Gabrielle Union and I believe should be handled the same way.

[paolagutierrez]

How can a black person’s hair be too black? If that is the case, can white people’s hair be too white?
