Harry Potter in 99 Seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!




OK, so this is my favorite YouTube video right now, and here are the lyrics and the link!

Click HERE for the video!!


Harry Potter in 99 Seconds



There once was a boy named Harry

Destined to be a star

His parents were killed by Voldemort

Who gave him a lighting scar


Yo Harry, yer a wizard!


The Sorcerer's Stone                                                                      


Harry goes to Hogwarts

He meets Ron and Hermionie

McGonagall requires he play for Gryffindor

Draco is a daddy's boy

Quarrel becomes unemployed

The Sorcerer's Stone is destroyed by Dumbledore


The Chamber of Secrets                                                                 


Ron breaks his wand

Now Ginny's gone

And Harry's in mortal danger

Tom Riddle hides his snake inside

His ginormous secret chamber


The Prisoner of Azkaban                                                                 


Harry blows up Aunt Marge

The dementors come and take charge

Lupin is a wolf

The rat's a man

And now the prisoner is at large

They use time travel so they can

Save the prisoner of Azkaban

Who just so happens to be Harry's Godfather

I don't really get it either


The Goblet of Fire                                                                            


Harry gets put in the 

Triwizard Tournament

With dragons and mermaids

Oh no!

Edward Cullen (Cedric Diggory) gets slayed!

He's back


The Order of the Phoenix                                                                


Harry, Harry, it's getting scary

Voldemort's back

Now you're a revolutionary Harry

Dumbledore, Dumbledore, why is he ignoring your 

constant attempts to contact him?

He is forced to leave the school

Umbridge arrives

Draco's a tool

Kids break into the Ministry

Sirius Black is as dead as can be

OH


The Half-Blood Prince                                                                     


Split your soul

Seven parts of a whole

They're horcruxes

It's Dumbledore's end


The Deathly Hallows                                                                       


There once was a boy named Harry

Who constantly conquered death

But in one final dual between good and bad

He may take his final breath...

FINAL RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




FINAL RESULTS!!!!!! =)

OMG!!  It's the SEASON FINALE of AGT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

I am in love with this show and can't wait till Season 11!!!

This was the absolute BEST season to start watching the show because it was the 10th anniversary of the show and there was the biggest and best talent anyone could ever imagine!! 

I was a little upset with the result, but I still LOVE AGT!

#AGT365!

It’s the season 10 finale of America’s Got Talent, and the fate of a couple of singers, a few comedians, a magician, a mentalist, a little guy with a ladder, a bloke with a puppet, a magic dragon, and a man who can swallow whatever is currently in your kitchen junk drawer has been announced. I’m not the only one who was surprised that the professional regurgitator wasn’t the man standing by Drew Lynch as the final two. Instead it was Drew and Paul Zerdin. The loud round of booing from the audience is proof that we were all confused. 

It was a night full of magicians who crashed and burned with invisible card tricks and lackluster guessing games. Oz didn't do his AMAZING mentalism this time!  He actually did a card trick!!  Uzeyer Novruzov phoned in a routine with non-finalist act Freelusion. Then “Roast-master General” Jeff Ross basically warned Gary Vider that he didn’t stand a chance against Drew Lynch. Spoiler: He was right. 
Just when I’m about to hide behind my couch cushion because Jeff Ross makes me so uncomfortable, The CraigLewis Band takes the stage with gospel legend Yolanda Adams to sing “I Want To Know What Love Is” by Foreigner. The Harlem Gospel Choir backs them up as pyrotechnics fall from the ceiling around the time all three artists are performing their best runs. That’s pretty much my sweet spot. Oh look! It’s a female on the stage!
There were moments that made me laugh. I liked the tribute to the wonder that is Nick Cannon — our host, our friend, and our backstage therapist. I also liked the tribute to the wonder that is Howard Stern—our judge, our nemesis, and our favorite curly-haired radio personality. I enjoyed “Buzzer Therapy” where Jerry Springer shepherds some of the more interesting acts (remember that weird kid who could squirt milk out of his eye?) on how to live their lives after AGT.
Of course one of the highlights of the night, other than OZ!!, was when our professional regurgitator Stevie Starr swallowed a LIVE GOLDFISH. If that weren’t amazing enough, he also swallowed a film canister (remember those?) full of water. Then he put the fish into the canister, put a lid on it, and hacked it back up. Why yes, the fish WAS still alive when he dumped it back into the bowl!

There is no other act like Stevie Starr. He is one-of-a-kind in my opinion and I have no doubt he will soon grace a stage somewhere in his gold lamé jacket. In fact, I don’t think any of the guys in the top five will have a problem finding a job.

It all comes down to this moment.

The act in 5th place is the CraigLewis Band

The act in 4th place is The Professional Reguritator

The act in 3rd place is... Oz Perlman!!!!  I Was SOOOOOOOOOO sad when I heard his name!!  I'm sure he has an AMAZING carrier ahead of him though! =)

The act in 2nd place was Drew lynch.

And the winner of the $1 million was :  PAUL ZERDIAN!!!!

 If he follows in the very successful footsteps of season 2 winner and fellow ventriloquist Terry Fator, he’s definitely going to need a bigger bank account for all the money he will be making. People in Nevada want to see the puppets!
And that’s a wrap on America’s favorite summer talent show. Were you happy? Sad? Surprised? Either way, we’ll see you back here next year!

GOOD NIGHT AMERICA!!!

FINALS ACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!




FINAL ACTS!!!!!!!!

Here are two things I bet you never thought you’d see on the America’s Got Talent final performance episode: Flo Rida singing in front of a passel of Radio City Rockets. His gold chain necklace perfectly complements the dancers’ gold flapper outfits made of Christmas tree tinsel. It’s clear from this bizarre picture that this a special night. Even the judges all called each other before the show to make sure they matched, but weren’t too matchy matchy. It all comes down to this moment. Here’s a breakdown of the acts:

Oz Pearlman
YAY!!  He is my favorite and kicks off the show with a big BOOM!!  It was so cool when he correctly guessed which envelope the judges would NOT choose. I was even MORE impressed when he correctly guessed the color of the chairs they would sit in on the stage. When he told them the individual names they selected when he asked them to swear on an actual person that they weren’t in on the act, I was SUPER impressed. But is he Vegas worthy? I absolutely hope the answer is YES!!!!!!!!!!  #$1MILLION!

Uzeyer Novruzov
Poor Uzeyer is hurt from last week’s fall and isn’t able to climb tall ladders in a single bound. That didn’t stop me from holding my breath the entire time we was performing. Unfortunately, I don’t think hopping on a ladder like a pogo stick up a few stairs and then hanging from a ladder that drops down from the ceiling is enough to get a sympathy vote from America this week. The judges agree with me.

Benton Blount
Benton definitely struggles to hit all the notes of One Direction’s “Story of My Life.” I guess that particular tune is in a boy band key. Even though the song is the perfect choice for his journey, his performance is definitely lacking. And bathing him in blue lights doesn’t help matters much. I assume this will not end well for Benton. Let’s get him a reality show so we can follow his cute family around all day long.

Gary Vider
Once again, I’m left feeling like one of my favorite acts fell flat. Gary’s slow pace normally doesn’t bother me, but this time it took forever for him to get to the punchline. His jokes about North Korea, Ryan Gosling, and his Jewish heritage are well-written, but by the time we reach the zinger, I don’t really care anymore. There are at least three “boobissippi’s” of dead space in some instances. That’s a little too dry for my taste.

Piff the Magic Dragon
I’m not sure what I think about Piff. He starts off with a simple trick with one of Howie’s $20 bills and that somehow morphs into Mr. Piffles being shot out of a cannon. It was all very discombobulated. One of Heidi’s rings and a rather large nut play a role in the act. In the end, Howie’s money was inside the nut. Piff is all over the map and it is evident that the judges are not feeling him. I’d be surprised if this dragon ended up in Vegas.  But I wish him all the best if he doesn't!

Paul Zerdin
Paul Zerdin tries to tackle too much in his final performance. He takes the stage with three different puppets. I thought things were looking up when he swapped voices with one of the puppets. But then everything seems chaotic with Paul attempting to wow the audience with four (including himself) different characters. Howie thinks they all sounded the same, which is a terrible thing to admit to a ventriloquist. Paul leaves the stage defeated. It’s up to America to save him, which is going to be tough considering the acts before and that followed him.

The CraigLewis Band
The CraigLewis Band wonders how they are going to beat mind readers and a dude who eats weird things for a living. Even though I have wondered the same thing, I think I may have the answer: polka dots. The CraigLewis Band look sharp in their coordinating polka dot suits with jaunty red accents. They kill “Beggin’” by Frankie Vallie (or Madcon depending on your generation) and have all four judges standing on their feet. Do you think a singing group can win this competition? I just don’t see that happening.

Derek Hughes
Derek Hughes takes a risk by doing basic magic, and it backfires on him big time. He performs one rope trick. One. His idea is that he’s allowing the audience to preview the first three minutes of his future Vegas act. If that’s what Derek has in mind, people are definitely going to want their money back. He is so talented! Why did he bring in a deejay and platinum blonde go-go dancers? It was underwhelming. Everyone thought so. I had high hopes for Derek. Maybe he can join Benton in their My Family Is Cuter Than Yours reality show on TLC.
Professional Regurgitator
This guy is either going to win or come in second place. His act is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. He swallows thumb tacks and a magnet, then asks the judges how many thumb tacks they would like him to stick on the magnet before hacking it back up. Brilliant. Then he swallows lighter gas, blows it into a liquid soap bubble, and has Nick Cannon ignite the darn thing. Explosions! Anything that ends with an audience praising a Scottish guy with burnt arm hair deserves an act in Vegas.
Drew Lynch
Drew Lynch is definitely a fan favorite, but I found myself wanting more from him, too. His jokes were pretty funny, but not outstanding. Howard complains that he laughs too much at himself. I personally think that his laughing is a coping mechanism or a way for him to “reset” before speaking again. His talent definitely lies in the writing of his jokes. It was just a bit off tonight in my opinion.

Do you think the contestants were nervous tonight? Why did so many crash and burn? Do you think it’s the regurgitator’s contest to lose? I definitely want to see him swallow more weird things. And I would definitely pay money to see Oz and maybe the regurgitator!






Good Night America!

Semi Final 2 Results!!




Semi Final 2 Results!!

It’s the second round of America’s Got Talent semi-finals and only five acts are given the green light to perform during the finale. Nick Cannon is almost unrecognizable without his signature hat. After a quick recap of the night before and a medical report from a slightly bruised Uzeyer Novruzov, Nick wastes no time calling up the Dunkin’ Save candidates.

Uzeyer barely makes it back to his spot on stage before Nick asks him back to the front. He is joined by Freelusion and Gary Vider. I may have shouted a certain expletive when Gary’s name was announced and , I found myself Googling “AGT Dunkin’ Save.” And yes, I totally voted for Gary. #Boobissippi4ever!

The first head-to-head on Nick’s list is 3 Shades of Blue and Daniella Mass. My mom jokingly said that I hope he says neither of you.... and guess what happens. Nick announces that NEITHER ACT IS GOING THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND. OMG is my mom psychic?!?!?! She should go on AGT!!!! Just Kidding! =) To quote Cher Horowitz, “That was way harsh.” Daniella and Shades of Blue are as stunned as the judges. I was not. I was so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nick ushers them off the stage with a hearty, “See ya!”
Time is clearly of the essence. Nick asks for Alondra Santos and Piff the Magic Dragon to come forward. Piff easily wins this round and the man in a dragon outfit hugs the 13-year-old goodbye. It’s a crazy world we live in.


Instead of announcing the fate of the remaining contestants, the producers decide that America wants to see Howard Stern brainwashing innocent school children into thinking he is the best AGT judge. This lasted for 20 minutes. Then former AGT finalists AcroArmy performed gymnastics while British girl band Little Mix sang “Black Magic.” At least I think AcroArmy performed. The individuals working the cameras were more interested in the hot girls with fringe epaulets than the acrobats. I wish it was the opposite!!  Moving on.


Nick calls the Professional Regurgitator and Alicia Michilli to the front of the stage. Poor Alicia knew the pending outcome the moment her name came up against Stevie Starr’s. It was written all over her face. How can a sultry crooner ever compete with a man who barfs up million dollar jewelry on command? She can’t. Stevie is through and Howard thinks he may win the entire thing.


It’s down to Sharon Irving and Paul Zerdin.   Paul easily took this round in my opinion.  Mel B looked a bit ticked off because Sharon was her golden child. Fortunately, Paul is another golden child. He makes ventriloquism look cool. Maybe even cool enough for people to pay money to see him in Vegas.


With only minutes to spare in the show, Nick announces the Dunkin’ Save winner. Uzeyer Novruzov will live to climb another very tall ladder in the finals! He’s so overwhelmed that he can’t find words beyond, “I love you.” This man has America wrapped around his finger!


That leaves Freelusion and Gary Vider. My stomach turns in knots as Mel B. and Heidi vote for Freelusion while Howie and Howard vote for Gary. It comes down to the Dunkin’ Save percentages. Thank goodness I voted, because Gary Vider wins. You’re welcome America.


What did you think about tonight’s results? Did you notice that all of the singers were denied? Were you surprised that Uzeyer made it through to the next round? It shouldn’t be a problem. Clearly he has nine lives.  


Look for the FINAL next Tuesday at 8/7 Central!!!!!!!!!!!



Vote for Oz!!!  And Paul!!!  And Gary!!!  And Piff!! And maybe a few for the Regurgitator!


DON'T MISS THE FINAL!!!!!


Until then...


Good Night America!!!

Semi Finals 2 Acts!!




Semi Finals 2 Acts!!


It’s the second round of semi-finals on America’s Got Talent and Howie told each of the 11 acts that they have what it takes to make it to the next round. This is statistically impossible since the official rules state only five can go to the finals. Will it be the funny dragon? Or a darling 13-year-old girl who channeled her inner Ricky Martin? Let’s break down the acts…


3 Shades of Blue
The good news is that the guys of 3 Shades of Blue all stopped cutting their hair because they are committed to looking like a real rock band. I think the lead singer needs to invest in a few bobby pins before their next gig. The bad news is that I enjoyed their pre-performance package song (“Feeling Good”) more than their live performance of “Sail” by AWOLNATION. The head-banging choreography is macho and there is enough smoke to fill a professional regurgitator’s stomach. But I don’t think they have what it takes to beat out a comedian, a ventriloquist, and a magic dragon. Howard agrees with me. The rest of the judges do not.

Gary Vider
Gary Vider jokes about three things during his act: his weak frame, his Jewish heritage, and Mel B.’s boobs. Thank goodness America rallies together to make sure “boobissippi” trends on Twitter. He has the entire auditorium laughing, including the judges. He even has Heidi praise him in German, which of course was the perfect softball pitch for an impromptu zinger. He should be one of the finalists

Alondra Santos
This sweet 13-year-old sings “La Copa de la Vida” or “Cup of Life,” which was the official song of the FIFA World Cup in a year when Alondra wasn’t even a twinkle in her parents’ eyes. This song was also a breath of fresh air in the 1998 Grammys, helmed by the delicious Ricky Martin. Alondra is horrible. I don't know how the judges like her. I think the song needed to be sped up just a bit. It felt sluggish. she did a horrible job, but the judges loved her. With that said, I think she’s in the same boat as 3 Shades of Blue. Someone at the Disney Channel needs to call her and snatch her up before it’s too late.  She will definitely not make it through.

Freelusion
After securing a spot in the semi-finals, the Freelusion team confessed that they needed to push themselves to the limit. Apparently that means dancing around robots that eventually become Transformers. I understand the performance was supposed to be about technology taking over our lives. Sure this is an important message, but the end result should not be an audience full of people who are checking their Facebook page because they are bored. I think this is the end of the road for Freelusion sadly... =(=(=(=(

Alicia Michilli
“Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers is a really good song. I would have enjoyed it more had Alicia not been roaming around what appeared to be the inside of a computer circuit board. It was highly distracting. She works the camera and gives it her all, but the performance fell flat. I wish it would have been a stripped down acoustic version. If America had to pick one singer, I assume the vote would go to Sharon Irving instead of Alicia, but I hope they don't pick any singers because I don't think singers should be on this show.


Piff the Magic Dragon
Someone on Piff’s PR team wisely told the magic dragon to stop being so uninvested in his AGT journey. Piff was the friendly, unfazed magician we met in week 1 and the audience welcomed him back with open arms. He is able to weave in jokes with basic card tricks and even finishes with a “wow” moment that stuns the judges. Bonus: Zero animals were harmed in his performance. Hooray! Was it just me or did he have an extra minute or five during his act? It seemed much longer than the other ones. Extra minutes or not, I think he’s quirky enough for America to vote into the finals.  He is AMAZING and this was by far his best performance.


Daniella Mass
Daniella manages to combine two of my favorite things: fur and feathers. She performs “Crying” by Roy Orbison in a way only Daniella Mass can. Her voice is beautiful and the production is stunning. Maybe it’s because the weather here is similar to the surface of the sun, but I found myself longing to be transported to her wintery wonderland. Even though I loved the song, I’m afraid Howard is right—her music style does not translate to the masses. I have a feeling she won’t get the votes to make it to the finals.  Which I am so happy about!! =)



Uzeyer Novruzov
Uzeyer Novruzov decides to try the same trick that he tried 15 years ago, which landed him in the hospital for two days in a coma, along with two broken wrists. Unfortunately, he falls again — but this time, no bones are broken. He stage rolls and hops up, eager to climb the ladder again. Nick Cannon has to give him the awful news that this is a live show and his two minutes are up. The disappointment in Uzeyer’s face is heartbreaking. Only America can save him now.


Stevie Starr
First of all, the Professional Regurgitator eats butter. He just gnaws on a stick of butter for lunch. That has nothing to do with his act, but I found it weird, so I’m reporting it. His performance, on the other hand, is AMAZING. There is no other word to describe it. He has a cup (with a lid) full of smoke. Stevie sucks the smoke out of the straw and swallows it. Then he drinks liquid hand soap, a few gulps of water, and starts blowing out bubbles like a bubble machine. Then he makes a bubble in his hands and BLOWS THE SMOKE INTO THE BUBBLE. He swallows a raw egg and hacks it back up for kicks and giggles. You can’t take your eyes off Stevie. You want to because he’s so gross, but you just can’t.



Sharon Irving
Sharon sings an eclectic version of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” and the audience goes wild. And by eclectic, I mean that it starts out acoustic, with just a piano. Then it swells into an orchestra and by the end there is a choir backing her up. Even though choirs make everything cooler, there’s simply nothing this woman can’t sing. The word “perfect” is thrown around by the judges. Her hat game was on point, too. Out of all the singers, she has the chops to make it to the finals for sure.  I don't want her too but I think it is going to happen.



Paul Zerdin
Paul invites Howie on stage. He fashions him with a huge ventriloquist mask. Paul has a remote control that can manipulate Howie’s mask. He “speaks” for Howie and even takes his chair on the panel. Through ventriloquism, Paul makes Howie twerk and do an Irish jig. Howie played along beautifully with silly facial expressions. The absolute best part was Mel B. cracking up the entire two minutes. Her happy place is definitely seeing Howie humiliate himself on national television. Paul receives a glowing endorsement from all four judges.



What did you think of tonight’s performances? Will a singer make it to the finals? Is there room for Gary, Piff, Paul, and Stevie? If so, who will take that fifth spot? Something tells me not to discard Uzeyer. You know Howard is secretly wishing for a broken bone on national TV. This could be his shot!



I will post the results on Friday!



Until then...



Good Night America!!!

Semi Final 1 Results!!




Semi Final 1 Results + More!!




Hey guys!  Here is what went down on Wednesday during the result show!  I hope you enjoy!



Wednesday




The semi-final results show of America’s Got Talent is the perfect opportunity for big Broadway acts like The Illusionists to take Radio City Music Hall and wow audience members with whimsical shadow puppets and a trick that ends with a live rat inside a box. Who cares about the AGT contestants! I want to see that guy escape from a straight jacket while hanging upside down. Did I forget to mention that HE’S ON FIRE?
I’m just kidding. I completely care about the AGT contestants. In fact, after Nick announced the Dunkin’ Save candidates, I wondered why America hates singers so much. Although I don't think that singers are as good as the people on the stage because there are other shows like The Voice or American Idol that only singers can go on. Standing pitifully in the middle of the stage are Benton Blount, Samantha Johnson, and The CraigLewis Band. Do voters think that vocalists belong on only singer shows?  I know I do. Or was the competition just too interesting for these three to merit a top spot?
Nick wastes no time this week with dramatic pauses because we have to be mesmerized by illusions throughout the show. He sends those in jeopardy to the Dunkin’ Save green room to sweat it out for the next half hour. Then he calls Metal Mulisha, Derek Hughes, and Mountain Faith Band to the front. Derek easily takes this round. Metal Mulisha run to their bikes, while Mountain Faith Band start a club for semi-final musical rejects. Howard gives Derek a lecture on how he needs to bring in during the finals or others acts will beat him. I believe Howard is looking at you, professional regurgitator.  
Next up is Ira, Arielle Baril, and Oz Pearlman. Everyone on stage, including the puppets, looks as if they are going to hurl. Nick quickly calls Oz’s name as a finalist.  That was a very easy round for Oz to win!  I was so happy when I heard, "OZ PEARLMAN!!!" Ira is never heard from again and Mountain Faith Band elect Arielle as their Sergeant of Arms in the Lonely Musical Hearts Club backstage. Then Nick delivers the funniest line of the night: “You’re a mentalist. Didn’t you know you were going through?”
Oh Nick.  
Finally, our host calls SIRO-A and Drew Lynch to center stage. To my surprise, Drew is announced as the winner. And of course he delivers a really sweet speech about how all the contestants have become friends and he often forgets it’s a competition. I’m sure Drew won't take win in the end, but he definitely has a career doing something amazing after this journey.
The main Illusionists guy is back to show everyone how he taught Howie to pick a handcuff lock. He has 20 seconds to get out before a bunch of garbage dumps on his germaphobic head. Howie fails and looks really irritated. I didn’t know if I was supposed to think it was funny or mean-spirited. Then I realized I didn’t care. GET TO THE DUNKIN’ SAVE ALREADY!
It turns out, America voted Big Daddy Benton as the fourth spot into the finals. The judges looked concerned. It’s up to them to decide if Samantha or The CraigLewis Band are joining him. The women pick Samantha. The men pick The CraigLewis Band. It’s a tie! Oh the suspense! Someone hands Nick an envelope with the name of the act America chose for second place in the Dunkin’ Save. And it’s The CraigLewis Band.
The boys are shocked and can barely speak. The judges are nodding at one another as if this were their plan all along. Nick flashes his sweet cuff links for the camera and Samantha slowly fades into the background.
Did America get it right? Is there any way a singer is going to win? Should Samantha join the Lonely Hearts Musical Club? I bet she’d make a great vice-president. 

I hope you continue to watch AGT and vote for Oz!!


Good Night America!!!!
