. Good read.. It just bothered me when my grands were sitting there watching with the wife, and the cursing was like bam, bam, bam before she could grab the remote. I know they are gonna hear it soon enough, but for now we are telling them that such words are bad. They are told not to repeat bad words or use them, and it has worked thus far without them rebelling. Kids are like sponges, they absorb things quickly, and then quickly repeat or mimic what the see or hear. If not corrected, they will grow up thinking that it's ok to say this or that, and to do this or that without thinking it's wrong. It's sad that there are so many parents it seems now, that didn't do the hard work early on in order to make sure that the seeds of good were then planted in the minds of the little ones, and this in so that the longevity of the growing tree's life is secured, cared for and becomes productive during that life. The parrables in the Bible have some great wisdom on the subject, and especially the one called the sower and the seed.Not a fan of Cyrus, either. I like the show itself, though there are things I don't like about it. If they would keep judges like Shakira and Farell around more, I would like it better. It's wearing thin, now; the judges ran out of new lines of praise and commentary a long time ago. I have found several artists I follow now because of the show, so I'll keep watching it for the new talent they give exposure to, something that disappeared when all the old variety show formats went away.
I think AGT is closer to the old Ed Sullivan show than any of the others in that it has a large variety of acts.
Another thing I would do is showcase some of the acts that win in other countries' versions of these shows; it seems to me utterly stupid not to.
