It's entered at #28, it's got some catching up to do if it wants to get to #1...

Watching bits of America's Got Talent last night and it's amazing how we make a much better produced programme, from the titles, sets, hosts and the way the whole thing is packaged, our version is so much better in every respect.

I agree completely. The America's Got Talent titles and graphics look so cheap as well! And you'd think they'd have composed a new theme package rather than using re-arranged X Factor sounds. And could someone explain why Piers Moron is attempting to be Simon Cowell with all the snide comments?

Because NBC aren't allowed to use Simon Cowell, so they thought any old grumpy Brit would do.

I think Piers is alright actually on both versions, while Sharron Osbourne is much better than Brandy was last year. As for the Hoff though - well, I think it's all about the name rather than his credentials.

I see for their second series Australia has ditched the America look and gone with the British logo and titles - looks so much better.

The 3rd US season has got more like the British Version with the judges desk now the same as ours, as well as the staging but not the logo.
As seen here they even have their own Paul Potts for the next season.
