The 2012 season of America’s Got Talent delivered its final performances last night. David Garibaldi and his CMYK’s, Tom Cotter, The Untouchables, Joe Castillo, William Close, and the Olate Dogs all had to deliver their best performance ever against some steep competition.
David Garibaldi and his CMYK’s performed first. As usual, they painted something that you couldn’t tell what it was. Garibaldi chose to paint Albert Einstein. He chose Einstein because he symbolized creativity and innovation, and that’s a goal they strive for.
Showing again that he has a nearly unlimited repertoire of jokes, Tom Cotter had Nick Cannon roll the “joke die” to determine what his topic would be. Nick rolled “Poor Examples.” Cotter is the first comedian to ever make it to the America’s Got Talent finals, and it’s clear why.
The Untouchables did something the judges have been asking from dance groups all season – they featured a single dancer. They featured their youngest dancer, 8-year-old Ruby. They think they should win because they’re kids and “the future of America.”
Sand artist Joe Castillo took a different route in the finale. Where he usually has his art depict a message, this time he created portraits of all four personalities on the show. He started with Nick, transformed him into Howie, then Sharon, and finally Howard.
Musician William Close brought more instruments than ever, and he proved why he’s been the frontrunner in this competition all along. It’s clear that he will have a very successful career whether he ends up winning or not, and he has as good of a chance as anybody to end up winning.
The Olate Dogs are the first animal act ever to make it to the America’s Got Talent finals. They (the trainers, not the dogs) said that it’s incredible to have made it this far.
It seemed to us that there were three acts that stood out above the other three last night. Only one act can win the 2012 edition of America’s Got Talent, and we feel that we can say with some confidence that season 7 will be won by either Tom Cotter, William Close, or the Olate Dogs. Since we ultimately have to pick only one winner, we have to go with the most original act to ever take the America’s Got Talent stage.
This is how we think the results will end up, in reverse order:
6. Joe Castillo
5. David Garibaldi and his CMYK’s
4. The Untouchables
3. Olate Dogs
2. Tom Cotter
1. William Close
Who do you think will win “America’s Got Talent” season 7?
The America’s Got Talent season 7 results show will air tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Justin Bieber, NE-YO, Green Day, and Blue Man Group will perform.
