I can't believe there's talent on America's Got Talent

One of my guilty pleasures this summer is watching America's Got Talent, and I have to say I'm astounded by the exquisite and gigantic talent of some of the contestants. In particular I'm rooting for Lys Agnés and iLuminate.

So, if you haven't been watching, prepare for a treat. iLuminate is a dance troupe that slither and slide across a darkened stage illuminate by frenetically changing neon, and you can imagine how rad that looks. It really should be seen on the big screen for full effect, but you can get an idea by looking at the clips here. They've blown me away every time I've seen them. Their costumes and the choreography were invented by a woman whose name escapes me, and she sits backstage during every performance frantically coding the flashing lights from her laptop. Yes. She does this live:

Lys Agnés is just...let the clips speak for themselves. She's gorgeous, she has a voice to die for, and she tears through those arias with grace and vibrancy.

The joy on her face when she sings is heartbreaking and infectious simultaneously.

Just.

Awesome.

There's plenty of other gold on America's Got Talent this season but for me? I want both of the above to win.
