America's Got Talent or Britain's Got Talent? Which is the Best? - Match 1

On Tv there are hundreds of reality shows, but the ones which truly seem to join families together is the Got Talent franchise.  There are various versions of the show from all over the glove, but obviously the most popular are the American and the British versions and as both are currently on the air, BGT is in its semi-finals stage, while AGT is still in the audition stage, it is a perfect time to compare these two together. So which version is the best?  In the up and coming weeks, I will analyse the one aspect of these shows each week. Feel free to suggest a future 'match' and express whether you agree with the results of each week.

So drum roll please ..... First Match is between .....

The Hosts

Nick Cannon (AGT)

Ant & Dec (BGT)

All hosts are extremely likeable and funny.  It is difficult to compare British humour and American humour so it would be unfair to say who is the funniest, so in regards to that aspect it is a draw.  However, when one watches both shows one can immediately note a crucial difference between the hosts, Nick Cannon involves himself more with the acts and he even shows more than one time his talent, such as in the below clip;


Also Nick is also not afraid to take it a step further and help out the contestants and make their acts "better".





However, Ant and Dec do also save the day and improve contestants acts as well.



Lets not forget to mention that it hasn't been the first time that they have risked their lives during their hosting duties;



All of them are pretty great hosts.  But the ultimate question is, who gets the point?  Well, when one takes into consideration that Nick is on his own and has lap danced for us all, he does deserve the point. 
So AGT 1 - BGT 0

Next week; we will see the Singing category.  Which has the best singers?
