Boy Oh Boy Shakira

So it's come to this: The No. 1 show of the summer so far is the vaudeville mishmash "America's Got Talent" and the star of its third two-hour audition show Tuesday was somebody named Boy Shakira.

Luigi, 30, of Los Angeles performs as Boy Shakira. "I do the Shakira performance," he explains. "I have lived a lot of things that she has lived."

Except he doesn't sing as the Colombian superstar does. He does try to shake and dance much like she would though. He proved a better belly dancer than a trio of burlesque dancers from San Francisco and his wig never fell off.

And because the judges are either getting soft or at least getting hip to the irony that makes the audience cheer behind them, he went on to the Las Vegas callbacks.

you entertained me, I feel you're totally genuine and I feel you entertained the audience too," Sharon Osborne gushed.

"She's a good celebrity," Boy Shakira said of her.

Even Piers Morgan started to enjoy the act "despite my better judgment."

The one judge against Boy Shakira was David Hasselhoff, who hit his X button early and said "absolutely 100 percent no" and storms off the stage theatrically.

The reason is because Hasselhoff's whole career is based on irony and the guy can't see it.

Wow. A fat drag queen dancer that can't dance makes it into the top 20 on a TALENT show. Honestly, it makes me kind of sick watching it. But I don't know what's worse: Boy Shakira or the fact that David Hasselhoff is the only judge thinking straight.

I can't get enough of Boy Shakira. I'd definitely shag him.Very sexy.

My friend said it best: It's Boy Shakira's world; we just live in it.

The most talented thing ever.

There is something seriously mentally wrong with Boy Shakira. The prodercers are manipulating the results to create a Sanjaya-like controversy for the sake of ratings.

[T.V.O.R.]

Is he a bit "slow", foreign and/or a bit gay? These seem to be the PC sympathies de jour. It is sad that so many deserving contestants lost out simply because all they had was talent. Side note: The “Glamazons”, (the four fat women singers) would be more appealing to most of us if they just dressed as if they were not delusional about their looks. They are great singers, but typical of many women (and some men) of their size, they are self-empowered with some ludicrous PC notion that obesity is attractive.

I agree. The fact that Boy-Shakira made it into the final 20 makes me want to slap the judges. They got rid of some people who have actual talent to have him there. Sickening.

Boy Shakira sucks so much it's makes me sick. Can't sing, can't dance, looks disgusting, and would have been gonged in no time on a real talent show. Where can I get some of whatever the judges must be smoking?
