I've been campaigning to bring this show back for a long time now, and once I heard that they were accepting auditions on TV announced my Simon Cowell, I was awestruck, because it was a matter of time before it came back.
But after watching the first couple of episodes, it was understandable as to why it was discontinued in the first place. The judges and host were great, but there are times where they could act unprofessional, especially Lilly. I mean, picking up her own chair, come on now! Plus, what happened to Trish and Kardi? Why did they miss the whole semi-finals? They don't even tell us? Doesn't make sense!
On top of that, they always show the reactions to the judges/audience every couple of seconds, preventing us from watching the whole act. What's the point? I get the reactions, but can't we watch the show?
The voting process is a problem too. I doubt that anybody votes, because they have the voting system on the CityTV website ONLY. No Twitter, or Google, or any added-on system. AND, they only give us a maximum of 3 votes. THREE?!? That's not enough to vote for two people.
Plus, I didn't like how short this show was. AGT takes 20 episodes for the show to finish. This show took only 9 episodes. I get that it's only the second season, but it felt like the show was rushed. Therefore, we couldn't see much performances, and the performances took longer than it should due to the amount of people they're cutting. I respect the winner, but there are people that haven't fully gotten their respect because of how the show was formatted.
Despite everything being said, I'll give this show a pass. If they can change things up, I feel like it could go a long way. At least it's back.
