AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, A ROBOT, A CLOWN AND MAGICIAN
Posted on by Phil Jamison

The new season of America’s Got Talent premiered last night on NBC. Here are some of my favorites from last night’s performances. There was Merrick Hanna an exceptionally talented 12 year old dancer and probably the cutest kid ever who did an incredible story dance about a robot. To me he stole the show. Then there was Puddles the Sad Clown. He was weird and wonderful at the same time. This meek, shy, broken-hearted clown captured the audience when he transformed into an incredible singer right before your eyes. And I was pretty impressed by magician Will Tsai. Check out the videos of all three performances here!

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
