America's Got Talent - Rory's Blog

David In Indy:
Do you know who Rory is? Rory is the flying dog from Newcastle Indiana. He charmed both the judges and the audience during the auditions...

Tonight Rory made it into the semi finals, but only by the skin of his canine teeth. Rory ended up either fifth or sixth in the voting process and so he and his owner Tony, along with a brilliant singer named Charles DeWayne went before the judges to decide their fates.

Rory won.

Piers Morgan said if Rory makes it through it will be the biggest scandal and tragedy in the history of America's Got Talent. And I have to agree with him. Charles was clearly far more talented than Rory. Sharon Osbourne is a confirmed dog lover and David Hasselhoff is.... well.... David. He is NOT known for making good decisions on this show. So in the end, Piers voted against Rory (and rightfully so) and David voted to keep Rory and Sharon voted with David.

So Rory stays.

Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled to see Rory stay. He's an extremely cute and talented dog. And he's also the only act from Indiana remaining in the competition. But a brilliant singer got eliminated tonight.... for a dog act. Somehow I'm having problems wrapping my head around that. In my heart of hearts I truly believe Charles should have won and Rory go home.

But the gods have spoken.

Having said that, let's see if Rory makes it through to the next round. He's a real cute, bright eyed Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix (I think) and he's quite talented, but he missed several of his frisbees on Tuesday. That was his owner's fault. They will really have to step up their performance in order to progress to the next round.

Rory (with frisbee in mouth!) and his owner Tony...

David In Indy:
Here's a pic of Rory while "in flight". Clearly these pictures were not taken during America's Got Talent, but earlier at either a local or regional competition.

He failed to catch several of his frisbees on Tuesday's show, but surprisingly managed to progress to the next round.

David In Indy:
This has absolutely nothing to do with Rory.

This is a video of Kevin Skinner, an unemployed farmer from Kentucky. THIS is the one I'm rooting for. I hope he wins. He's extremely talented and he seems like a legitimately nice person. Very humble.
