America’s Got Talent 2009 | AGT Season 4

Music mogul Simon Cowell has revealed that singing sensation Susan Boyle would get a spot on America’s Got Talent provided she wins at the Britain’s Got Talent show.

Cowell, 49, also said that the spot is guaranteed to anyone who wins ITV1’s hit talent show.

“I would say to anybody who won the British show that we guarantee them a spot on the American show. I think that’s a great incentive. So if it is Susan, yes,” the Sun quoted him as saying.

Should she win the British show, Boyle, 48, will have to face Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff as judges on America’s Got Talent. (ANI)

This past season on America’s Got Talent, we were treated to several weeks of performances by the Wright Kids, a bluegrass band consisting of thirteen year old Sage, ten year old Baruch, and seven year old Levi. These multi talented kids impressed the judges and Jerry with their hard work, determination and ears for music.

I recently got a chance to correspond with the Wright Kids, who told me all about the auditioning process, being in Vegas and what the future holds for them.

HOW DID THEY GET INVOLVED IN MUSIC?
Baruch says that their dad “got him started with a book and a couple of chords and then the rest just fell on him after he started lessons.” Sage adds that her parents grew up loving music and  decided it would be nice for them to learn to play. They also attended festivals and conventions, which only made them love the music business more.

The Wright Kids began taking lessons when they were very young (Levi and Baruch were 5, Sage was 3); Levi and Baruch taking a liking to bass, guitar, banjo and voice, while Sage learned the violin, mandolin, piano, voice.  Levi says seeing Baruch play bass is what inspired him to give it a try.  They enjoy playing a variety of music, including pop, rock and bluegrass. The most important thing they had to say is how fun it is for them to play!

NBC has announced that the fourth season of America’s Got Talent will premiere over the course of two nights on Tuesday, June 23 at 9PM ET/PT and Wednesday, June 24 at 9PM ET/PT.

Similar to last season, America’s Got Talent will feature acts performing for home viewers’ votes with the ultimate winner receiving a $1 million prize.

While David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan will return to comprise the show’s celebrity judge panel, actor and comedian Nick Cannon will replace Jerry Springer as the show’s fourth-season host.

The 28-year-old Cannon began his career in 1998 at age 16 when he was featured on Nickelodeon’s All That before starring in The Nick Cannon Show in 2002. In 2006, he premiered MTV’s Nick Cannon Presents Wild’n Out, which became the network’s highest rated comedy program for four consecutive seasons.

Springer had served as the host of America’s Got Talent’s last two seasons after replacing first-season host Regis Philbin. He announced in February that he was leaving the show because of commitments to The Jerry Springer Show as well as a stage production of Chicago in London.

NBC renewed America’s Got Talent last August prior to Neal E. Boyd, a 32-year-old insurance-salesman-turned-opera-singer from Sikesron, MO, becoming America’s Got Talent’s third-season champion.

In addition to America’s got Talent’s fourth-season premiere, NBC also announced that it will premiere I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, a new revival of the celebrity U.K. reality series that previously aired on ABC in 2003, on June 1, and Great American Road Trip, a new reality competition that will feature seven families competing in challenges at American landmarks, on July 1.

America’s Got Talent is produced by FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell’s SYCO Television, with Cowell, Cecile Frot-Coutaz, Jason Raff, James Sunderland and Scott St. John serving as executive producers.
