America’s Got Talent is an American reality television competition created by Simon Cowell that is currently airing its 21st season on NBC. The show started premiering in 2006. The format of the show features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, and other acts competing on a national stage for a grand prize of $1 million. The show has also inspired franchises in multiple countries, including India, and now the format has arrived in Pakistan as well.
In Pakistan’s Got Talent, Mehwish Hayat, Ali Zafar, and Tabish Hashmi will judge talented contestants. The show is set to premiere soon on Geo TV.
Pakistan’s Got Talent has recently released its teaser, showcasing amateur artists displaying their talents in front of the judges, who can be seen reacting enthusiastically to the performances. Watch it here:
The show’s arrival in Pakistan has ignited severe public backlash, with many saying that Pakistan Got Talent will face the same fate as Pakistan Idol, which was shut down midway due to budget issues. One wrote, “It is a cheap version of America’s Got Talent or India’s Got Talent.” Another said that the stunts shown in the show are also fake. One wrote that Tabish Hashmi as a judge is a big no and that he has given fake expressions throughout the show. Another wrote, “Pakistan is like ‘Aag Lagay Basti Mein, Hum Apni Masti Mein,’ meaning that whatever happens, nothing affects the media.” Read the comments here:
