Bless Allison — I really do think she wants the best for them — but girl, you’ve got to bring in some real mentors. These walks look like they wandered out of a mall in 2004, and the song choices? Somewhere, a karaoke machine just burst into flames. Honestly, it feels like the cast of “Almost Miss America” got together and said, “Let’s try one more time!” But hey, participation trophies for everyone, right? Now, I loved the stage — truly, it looked great. But let’s not pretend Frank’s out here producing a Vegas residency. He built what Allison told him to build. He’s not Simon Cowell, he’s a contractor with a Pinterest board. And please — I’m begging — can we skip the “local talent showcase” next year? I’m all for supporting the arts, but not if it sounds like a middle school talent show during allergy season. Just hire one good singer and a couple dancers who don’t trip over their own sparkle boots. You elevated the stage… now elevate the show.

[> [> Subject: Yes!!! These mentors have to start local. Each open state contestant needs a mentor, period. Maybe Allison wouldnt have to try so hard if she elevated her standards/production. Instead she holds on to the family talent/trio of singers/dancers with former title holders as emcees and its tired. And every year the level of quality contestants is less and less.
