‘America’s Got Talent’: Innovative Force Was Voted Off Too Soon

Can you believe the incredible acrobatic dance group was cut from the competition this week? Neither can we.

There’s always outrage the morning after an America’s Got Talent elimination episode — I mean, who wants to see their favorite act get the boot, right? — but never this season have I seen so many disappointed viewers as I’m seeing today, following the ousting of fan-favorite Innovative Force.

When the acrobatic dance group was called up alongside Cami Bradley on the Sept. 11 episode, my heart sank. Both are considered fan-favorites at this point in the competition, and I didn’t want to see either of them go. Unfortunately, the judges announced that America — thanks a lot, by the way, America — decided to keep Cami in the competition for another week.

Don’t get me wrong, I really like Cami. I think she’s managed to put her own unique spin on some well-known songs — I especially enjoyed her stripped-down version of Cher‘s “Believe” — but did she really deserve to move forward past Innovative Force?

I think not.

Innovative Force Deserved To Stay On ‘AGT’

I know America voted for Cami to move forward, so really, this rant is being addressed to the voters: What were you thinking?

Let’s take a step back and consider what’s at stake in this competition. Along with banking $1 million, the winner of America’s Got Talent gets to headline its own show in Las Vegas; and as talented as Cami is, do you really think her performances will meet the larger-than-life expectations tourists have when they go to see Vegas shows?

There are definitely Vegas-worthy singers in the competition — I’m looking at you, Forte — but in my humble opinion, I just don’t think Cami is one of them. She’s incredibly talented, and I think she’ll continue to do well in this competition, but I feel her brand of talent is more suited for a show like The Voice or The X Factor.

Innovative Force, an inspiring — not to mention mesmerizing — crew of 26 girls, absolutely represents what Vegas is all about. Their personalities and their performances have all been larger-than-life, inducing “oohs” and “aahs” with each new, mind-blowing routine. I know that sounds simple, but that sort of thing has a proven track record in Vegas.

We’ve been huge supporters of Innovative Force throughout this competition, and we only hope the girls continue doing what they do best — entertaining the world, and loving every minute of it — and that we will soon see them again.
