1/27: “America’s Got Talent” coming back to Atlanta Feb. 7-8
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last year, NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” not only did auditions here, but also filmed the semifinalists on location at Cobb Energy Centre. Former Atlantan and judge David Hasselhoff was thrilled to be back and even visited his childhood home.
Unfortunately, nobody from the area made it to the top 20.
The most popular summer show is coming back here again this year. The early rounds (before the Hoff & Co. show up) are being held Feb. 7 and 8 at AmericasMart, 2 West 235 Williams St., NW in downtown Atlanta. I’m trying to find out if they are coming back to Cobb Energy for the judges’ round. If so, I’ll definitely cover it.
You can also upload video submissions here.

Bloomquist, you big idiot. You can’t do anything right. Only a moron like you would could not get a job cleaning toilets at the Walmart on Bankhead Highway.

I am offended when people call Bloomquist the Colonel Klink of Atlanta radio. Even I’m not that stupid. General Burkhalter, Major Hochstetter and Sgt Schultz all agree that Bloomquist should have been arrested, jailed, and sent to the Russian front.

The last season of America’s Got Talent was so scripted, edited, and over-produced that is wasn’t much worth watching. It seemed different from the previous season.
And any “talent” competition that allows a transvestite Britney Spears look-alike to continue doing bad lipsynching has no credibility!

talent show my butt. It starts out with a variety of acts but winds up as a singing contest at the end.

What do I say about America’s Got Talent coming back?
I say, “And this would affect me how?”
