Bright lights, sing a ditty.

If you’re willing to take a gamble with your confidence, America’s Got Talent may be the showcase for you. The most recent entry into the genre of televised talent show competitions is being brought to us by none other than American Idol judge Simon Cowell and Freemantlemedia, the producers behind the hit series. And it seems just about anything will go, as scouts are reportedly looking for boy and girl bands, comedians, animal acts, acrobatic routines and burlesque performances, says the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the newspaper of the city where auditions will take place this coming Sunday and Monday. Those willing to bet Simon will let them through should be prepared to dazzle him within 2 to 4 minutes. Sinatra rip-off season three finalist John Stevens and reject William Hung need not apply.
