"America's Got Talent," NBC's hit series from the producers of "American Idol", returns this summer to feature the hottest and most unique performers from across the country.

For season four, the show will travel to over 9 major cities to find talent of all kinds - singers, dancers, contortionists, comedians, jugglers, magicians and everything in between. They will all strut and perform on-stage in the hopes of winning America's hearts and the million-dollar prize.

An insurance salesman/opera singer from Missouri, Neal E. Boyd's life changed forever last August when he was crowned the third season champion. Not only did he win the $1,000,000 grand prize, but he also received the opportunity to perform on the Las Vegas strip, headlining a show at the MGM.

Season 2 winner, Terry Fator, a ventriloquist from Dallas, Texas, achieved his lifelong dream when he was crowned the second season champion. After winning "America's Got Talent," Fator went on to sign a five-year $100 hundred million-dollar deal to headline at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Beginning February 2009, he will perform 48 weeks a year, 5 nights a week in The Terry Fator Theatre (currently the Danny Gans Theatre).

Open to any talent of any age, "America's Got Talent" offers a unique chance for anyone to perform on a nationwide variety show. Contestants are encouraged to pre-register at http://www.nbc.com/AGT By pre-registering, contestants will be kept up-to-date with the most current information from their audition city.

    Osiyo! Hello! America Got Talent is hope again in a world of non-hope today. It brought back that "Wishing upon a star still can make dreams come true"! Wichita Kansas, and surrounding areas would be very greatful to show their talent if given a chance. The biggest beef is: That you only have true "Americans" not "British" subjects judge ou

    I personally like the British Version of this show better than that in the U.S. simply because Americas views on talent are more tainted by the media and what is popular than by something truly unique and different.

    I like America's Got talent probably more than American Idol. To make this people's dreams come true is an awesome thing. As long as they don't become corrupted with it.I liked the last winner. He deserved it.Not much of an opera fan myself, but I liked the fact that he won.

    i love the show, but i hated the winner of last season. i'm no fan of opera, and having left only opera-like contestants in the end, i ditched the show. i hope it's better this coming season. i personally think that Nuttin' But Strings should have won
