Summer TV Viewing: “America’s Got Talent!” on NBC

So far, I like what I’m seeing. They seem to be doing a better job this season of keeping the cameras on the talent and off of the judges and Jerry, which is as it should be. I wasn’t as impressed with the opera singer as they were—he felt like an echo of Paul Potts, who felt like an echo of Pavirotti—which is why even though Nessun Dorma is a showcase song you have to be damned sure you have the chops to pull it off before you step in front of an audience.

If anyone comes close to impressing me the way that Terry Fator did, I’ll be happy.
