Simon is giving it a major overhaul for season 7. Including Judging Changes and location change

Judging Changes: Piers Announced that he would be leaving the show to concentrate on Piers Tonight on CNN (The replacement for Larry King Live) about 2 months ago. Then last month it was announced that edgy and controversial radio host Howard Stern would take his place and they confirmed that they're looking for a second female judge that is supposed to clash with Sharon and Howard. And also the show's live shows are moving to new york to make things more edgier and to attract the younger crowd.

I had no idea where to put this i was thinking since the 2011 discussion thread was dead that i would make a new thread. Sorry Mods if this is in the wrong place.

I don't really watch AGT that much since BBUSA is on mostly at the same time or near the same time here in america but i may record the eps and watch it after BB.

Howard Stern has been a good addition. Sooo much better than Piers Morgan. Also it's nice to actually have an AMERICAN judge on AMERICA'S Got Talent.

[BBfanUSA]

This Season is for sure edgier.

I loved Horse (The guy with Balls of Steel) and seriously we have a team iLuminate again? Seriously?

[Niamh.]

Howard Stern could be interesting, I don't really watch AGT but I might take a look if he was on it

[BBfanUSA]

I really like Howard. I think he's honest about finding a star on this show. But it kinda seems he's the star.

(ALSO please Axe Nick Cannon please!)

Vegas week is coming up. So exciting

[lostalex]

I've lost interest now. I really only like the auditions stage. Even Howard Stern can't save it.

[BBfanUSA]

Show starts again this week. Youtube show

I'm thinking that a non singing act could finally win this ish.

[BBfanUSA]

aw crap I jinxed it. Andrew De Leon (The Opera Singer with the odd colored eyes) is at the wild card show.

[BBfanUSA]

Wow for the first time ever there's not a single singing act in the final. Shocker. Which means first non singing act to win America's Got Talent

The Final 6 are
Tom Cotter (Comedian)
William Close (Earth Harp Guy)
Joe Castillo (Sand Artist)
David Girabaldi and the CYMKs (That Painting Act)
The Untouchables (Youth Ballroom Dance Troupe)
Olate Dogs (Imagine Ashley and Pudsey on steroids)

Man this looks like it's a amazing final america got it right this year. (I expect William Close to win, Olate Dogs a close 2nd, Maybe Tom Cotter could steal it if he kills his routine.)

Mel B is replacing Sharon Osbourne. Sharon left because she wasn't happy that NBC turned down her son for a Celeb reality show on it's channel because of his Sclerosis that was revealed.

Mel B is a great replacement for Sharon. She's great on the Aussie Version of X Factor. They're also looking for another female judge to join the panel before auditions start. Howie Mandel (Comedian/TV Host), and Howard Stern are returning to the panel as well with Nick Cannon returning as the host. Liveshows will be in New York City again.

[BBfanUSA]

and they added a fourth judge to the panel...Supermodel Heidi Klum. The show has begun recording

[lostalex]

I wonder what Howard thinks about it. I know he said many times he didn't want 4 judges. But perhaps he'll change his mind now that it's a beautiful woman like Heidi Klum.

And why is there only 1 American judge on America's Got Talent???

Now it's 1 American, 1 German, 1 Brit, and 1 Canadian. It's like the United Nations in there. WTF.

Heidi is an American Citizen make that two essentially. And This country was built on immigrants.
