Seriously? OMG! WTF?

America’s Got Talent is back on NBC and I was not sure how the new judges, Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough, would do. Well, Union is proving to be the heart of the show.

Kodi Lee, a 22-year-old man who is blind and autistic, came out with his amazing mom Tina. The judges asked him some questions and he told them that he is going to sing for them. He sat down at the piano and started to play Donny Hathaway’s A Song For You. Once he sang his first note and you heard his soulful voice, the tears began to stream down our faces. When he was done, the judges and the audience rightfully gave him a long standing ovation. Making a special moment even more special.

However, it did not stop there. All four judges, including Simon Cowell, praised him, and Union took it one step further. She hit the Golden Buzzer sending him directly to the live shows.

Lee said he will never forget that moment and neither will we. This is what talent competitions are all about. Finding extraordinary people with amazing talents. It is about giving people a shot that would normally not get one. I hope he goes all the way!

However, who knows who else we will find out about this season because yesterday was only night one.

We know that America’s Got Talent changed it up this season, but when will we see those changes? NBC announced today talent competition show will return on May 28th.

That is when we will find out if the new judges, Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union, work well with Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell and new host Terry Crews. I think it will be interesting because we know that Hough doesn’t like to share the spotlight and neither does Cowell. Since it is the latter one’s show, I think we know who will win out.

You know how they say, if it is not broke, don’t fix it. America’s Got Talent never heard of that. That is because for season 14, they are changing things up again.

Out are Heidi Klum, Mel B and Tyra Banks, in are Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough and Terry Crews. The Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor has been well received as the host of AGT: Champions, so his hiring makes sense. As does the departure of the three ladies who are working on other projects. What I cannot get into is Hough joining the panel. Who doesn’t find her annoying? I am sure Simon Cowell will find out soon enough that she thinks it should be all about her.

On a positive note, at least there are Americans on the panel again. The first time there has been one since Howard Stern left after season 10.

What do you think of the new America’s Got Talent?

She explained, “I am being very honest about drinking to numb my pain but that is just a way a lot of people mask what is really going on.

“Sometimes it is too hard to cope with all the emotions I feel. But the problem has never been about sex or alcohol — it is underneath all that.

“I am fully aware I have been at a crisis point. No one knows myself better than I do – but I am dealing with it.”

Therefore, she will be getting herself the help she needs, so she can be the best mom to her daughters.
