http://www.airamerica.com Does America have talent?

Simple answer is: no, not really. Judging on what I saw last night on the premier of America's Got Talent, 9 times out of 10 we've got nothing. The first round of auditions brought us to New York, Chicago, and Seattle. The two sibling singing groups, Voices of Glory and the Eriam Sisters, were relatively impressive and definitely had inspiring stories to tell. Other than that, here's some of the "talent" they showcased:

-an Obama impersonator who sang James Brown (B+ for looking Presidential, C- for not keeping up the act)

-a guy who can put a drill through his nose (zzz, like that hasn't been done before)

-an owner and his hyper dog who can jump really high to catch frisbees (I admit this was awesome, but clearly the dog is the only one with talent)

-a David Hasselhoff super fan with an acoustic guitar (loving the Hoff isn't a talent; it's a given)

No Susan Boyle equivalent in sight yet, but we've got all season. For tonight's episode, the show is hitting up Houston, Miami, and Los Angeles to scout out the best of what America has to offer and so far the bar is pretty low.
