America's Got Talent has always had unique talent, but this year Fighting Gravity has brought a whole new act.
Fighting Gravity consists of 24 fraternity brothers from who came together to form a very unique dance group, but once on stage it seems to be only three brothers in all white attire while there is one brother above as a "puppet master." There are also multiple neon colored balls which seem to float in synchronization.
Howie Mandel has compared them to Blue Man Group, but goes on to say that Fighting Gravity is even better than Blue Man Group.
"It's so different, it's very current, it's edgy," said judge Sharon Osbourne. "Your timing is absolutely precise. I haven't gotten one negative thing to say about it.
"The most unique thing I've ever seen up to this point with a black light is trying to find stains on a comforter in a hotel room," said judge Howie Mandel. "So this beats that by far. You guys are phenomenal."
It's hard to put into words, so watch the video and see:
Long ago, long before there was even such a contest as America's Got Talent, there was a black light production group formed that is still running shows in their own theater as well as on the road today. This group, "Famous People Players" hail from Toronto, Ontario Canada, and consist of handicapped people. They have performed in Las Vegas, and have the support of Paul Newman and Phil Collins, as well as the late great Liberace. I've seen their various shows on different occasions, and I've always left feeling so happy for these special people that are so proud of their performances.
ReplyDeleteSo while I don't take anything away for the talent of Fighting Gravity, and I did enjoy watching them, it just saddens me when I hear people say how unique and different their show is. It's not something new... it's been done already, even in Vegas, and it continues to entertain audiences every night at the Famous People Players theater in Toronto.
