Maybe I'm just jaded but the whole thing felt really scripted to me. Not her having cancer but everything else about it, and of course she won.

Am I bad person

It's reality tv. Basically everything is scripted.

The winners I know of are a comic, a ventriloquist, and a magician

Yea that was in the first episode of this current season. Her song made Simon Cowell cry. And he gave her the Golden Buzzer which means she automatically advances to the finals

She has a cancer that has a 2% survival rate. I'm worried she will die before the finals even happen

I like AGT and I sometimes like the singers that are on it. But still, if I was in charge I would Make 2 rule changes

1. No singers. They can go to a number of other shows just for singing

2. No non American citizens. If you don't understand the situation you might get outraged at this but here is why: there is a "Got Talent" show now in almost every major and some non major nations on earth. None of them to my knowledge allow Americans to compete.

But for some reason anyone can apparently compete in our show. Imagine if a non American wins a show called America's Got Talent. It would make the title a lie

If they really want a bunch of international stuff they should make a new show called World's Got Talent

I'd be surprised if an episode exists of any of these types of show where one contestant doesn't have some sad story.

A non American has won. The world still turned the next day.

ventriloquist singing acts don't have anywhere else to go.

That's fine but then we should cancel the show. Even though I like it. The concept is a lie

The talent shows created and run by simon cowell (got talent, x factor, etc) are all maudlin crap that's more heavily processed than a Twinky. I'm sure the contestants are talented but it's not worth watching because it's ruined by the highly corporate presentation, the embarrassingly cloying celebrities, and the editing.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it
