One other point, why do they call the show "America's Got Talent" when none of the judges are American and many of the contestants are not from the USA? Just my opinion.

why not a poet?
among my favorite pieces of literature are Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" and John McCrae's "In Flanders Field". JFK thought enough of poets that he invited Frost to write and deliver a poem at his inauguration.
my guess the show is called "America's Got Talent" because it's open to anyone from any of the countries in North, Central and South America... Britain's Got Talent is open to contestants from outside England.
