I've watched the last few seasons and I've never really been impressed by anyone's talent. Not that they're not talented, it's just obvious that the show is the peak for everybody performing on it.
That's not a bad thing really, viewed as a variety show, it's still good fun. The early episodes give you a great variety, cute kids, animals, dancers, singers, magicians, stuntmen,acrobats, etc., then as the show progresses you get fewer performers but the competition starts and personalities are better established so you cheer some and boo others. It works for a television show, but it's not really designed to find extraordinary and marketable entertainers every year.
