not to be rude but this is so nothing compared to us the (PHILIPPINES) because they don't show pictures but they show an AWESOME moves even without PROPS.... :)) and the EL GAMMA PENUMBRA from Philippines is so WONDERFUL american should watch it :)) --- REMEMBER this is just my OPINION :)) hope american could understand that i don't want to offend anyone!
just cuz the pathetic shitty silhouettes managed to worm their way into the finals, dosent make them winners. they lost miserably to murphy jr. dude! oh, and just so you guys know, their picture is taped to my lovely PUNCHING BAG! RIGHT NEXT TO BELLA THORNE AND MIRANDA COSGROVE! its nothing persanol america, its just a WSDT fan speaking her mind.
Silhouettes are for lonely, sympathetic , pathetic old ladies!
@vortexcito Let me guess... your comment has some deeper or sarcastic meaning behind it, yes? Unless that is the case, you are in dire need of geography lesson.
@vortexcito theyre talking about the country AMERICA as in The United States of! Chile isn't part of America and you aren't american...you're Chilean.
@SmileStephie That was the point. You are using America as a name of a country, and it is the name of a whole continent. It is quite offensive for the rest of the ~50 countries and territories. You should use United States of America, or United States...or just get a real name...not just a description.
This was my favorite performance of season. I was actually surprised at how much I liked it. I think they didn't win only because the producers preferred a one-person act over 42 people. But truly it was the find of the show this year.
@trahma01 I used to believe that, but have grown suspicious over the years. How come they never reveal the actual voting numbers? Why do some of the really stupid acts make it so far? Last year was specially suspicious with Jackie Evancho losing, she was clearly the favorite. I'm hardly the only person who thinks that. The rumor was that the producers didn't want to host a Vegas act starring a little girl. That's Hollywood for you.
@92clarinette you can love where you live and be proud of your heritage. Government and that sense of pride don't have to go hand in hand. I wouldn't want to live any where else, but I don't care for our politics.
this is something amazing. for those who loves watching silhouette shows, try to watch EL GAMA PENUMBRA, a finalist in Pilipinas (Philippines) Got Talent. The world is really full of wonderful talents! Let us be proud of that--Americans, Europeans,Asians...all people of the world...
this was so beautiful it made me cry honestly it made me cry because i love our country but i love other countries but this one i will never want to leave permenently
I started to tear up because of the sheer amount of American pride that they showed. They should play this preformance every sing Independence Day or I will be seriously disappointed!
This is basically a rip off of Polibolus.. They've got skills though. But anyone else feel like they're just using "easy wins" like national pride to run up votes...
I've seen lots of messed up videos.. that makes me think ''SOME americans makes me laughs''.. But this video gives me the feeling ''Wow.. Americans ARE pretty awesome!''
My name is kiki, and i was raped before i died. i used to enjoy the pain. now i inflict it upon people. i was tortured and raped untill i couldnt breathe. those meanies now they suffer and die.and those who dont repost to 5 videos will die to. i hate this to but i believe. At the strike of 12 AM those who did not repost will die a horrible death after seeing a bloody face coverd with long black hair . those who do repost will get asked out by their love. <3
God Bless America. Many of the people in my neighborhood seem to not take pride in the place they live in and downgrade America for their country of origin, yet if you ask if they would like to live in their country, they would ask to stay in America. I am from Guyana, yet I am proud to live in America because if its oppurtunities and that it what the Silhouettes had shown in their performance. Well Done.
@iNomUrNoms Explain why anyone gives a shit what you say? Go suck a cock and die your an insignificant piece of idiocy. You should go kill yourself before your parents abandon you, cause they don't love you.
@imnotthisoldlol I never said they did, but I'm sick of assholes ruining good videos with their immature comments. Now grow the fuck up, be productive and go troll a fake video.
@iNomUrNoms Comments ruin the video for you? If you are too much of a candy ass pansy that little comments ruins anything for you, you are fucking pathetic. Also don't read them then dipshit. It's that simple.
@TribeOfSilverWind he is right...i know its a tragedy....but u dont mourn for the other million that died......some died by their age some murdered and some had an accident......u dont cry for the cancer victims....u just learned that something is wrong with u!!!!!
@narutoyo Really? Do you care about humanity? Did you know one of these kids is going blind and there is no cure? Did you know some of these kids have cystic fibrosis and there is no cure? Did you know these kids raised over 40,000 this year to help homeless children in the Denver area? Did you know even with heir illnesses they all maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better to be able to take part in this dance ensemble? I think theyre amazing kids and a great role model for all youth to emulate!
@babybluesnowden Wow I never knew all this stuff!!!! But how do you know???? Iv'e always loved them and im not saying your wrong i was just wondering how you know all this stuff... please don't take this the wrong way if you think im being mean. because i am not and if i am i am sorry
Now I'm not trying to get likes, I'm just stating this fact.. Most of the dislikes are probably people that know they could NEVER do this, no matter how much they practiced. (:
bleh, I hate the concept just because they try to manipulate the audience with patriotism.
Very especially by overimposing the pictures over the silhouettes, it is obvious that the focus of this show doesn't fall on the performance, but tailored to appeal only through manipulation.
This was mediocre at best, and yet it really feels politically incorrect to say it.
im sorry but they're terrible. its not original in the slightest... pilobolus? anyone?! its terrible that they are such blatant rip-offs and no one is calling them on it-- they're praising them for it! and they aren't even improving on what pilobolus started! square buildings? you can't even tell what they are until it fades into the picture. pilobolus is always much, much more complex and yet you can still understand everything. this is just a poor imitation. search the real artists: pilobolus.
America is not just the U.S., AMERICA IS across the continent, Latin America, Central America and North America! Enlarged shit. IGNORANT
