Count me as one who doesn't get the Zooperstars either. I mean, they were cute for what? Five minutes? Definitely not for a 90 minute show. Unless you are five years old!

That Texas Steppers are a typical Texas high school dance team.

I like the baton twirling guy.

Elvis impersonators are a dime a dozen in vegas ... boring ...

I agree on the Zuperstars.. they irritate me. Texas Steppers.. yeah.. not even a good HS team.

Kswheels, no you are not alone..I kept waiting for the buzzers and thinking.. this is a hot mess.. and then the judges loved them?

And I agree about Michael too..

I still think the Elvis impersonator looks and sounds nothing like Elvis. He's quite handsome, and I think that will carry him.

I honestly don't think any of group dancers are all that wonderful.

The Zooperstars really do make me laugh and I'm glad they made it through. I could handle another one of their performances :-) I don't think they should win, but their entertainment value for the the few short minutes we get to see them is more fun to me than any of the group dancers.

And Sharon was doing what I want I wanted to do when that large male singer got upset. I just wanted to tell him to zip it.

Naja - Thank you for making me feel like less of a dork for laughing at the Zooperstars. It doesn't deserve to win but it's amusing on short doses. I don't think Sharon's vote for them was really a vote for them, to be honest. She was put in the position of sending the little girl home last week and I think she just wanted to put that task on Hoff this week but he didn't play along.

I think it was a bit mean for them to make Elite go home 2 to 0 last week. The way it should've been done is to have Sharon vote first, with a no vote. Let Hoff give her a yes vote just to make her feel better, and then let Peirs be the bad guy. That's his purpose on the show.

I know it's a serious talent competition supposedly, and life isn't fair, but the judges, especially Peirs, need to get over themselves and realize that they are dealing with people who will not soon forget the experience, especially when dealing with kids.

The Texas drill team was really amateurish. The large family group I thought was horrible and I hit FF within the first 30 seconds.

Loved the baton twirler. Thought the female singer/guitar player was all right. Wanted to like the impersonator guy. Liked Michael Strelo-Smith till he started mouthing off at the judges (and THIS is the example you want to set?).

Didn't quite get Sequida. Johnny the Elvis guy was boring (he totally rocked his first audition and since then has been a yawner). Hated the magic act with the miniature horse.

And for the life of me I can't remember the other two performers!

I recorded it and only saw parts so need to sit down and watch it through.

I am kind of surprised this is the best of the best with all those auditions across the country. There just doesn't seem to be any really great performers. I like many, but none that I am totally wowed over. Maybe the opera singing guy--he's great.

And, I would have voted for the Zooperstars over the dance troupe, too. They remind me of the shows my kids loved at Chuck E. Cheese's.

That little girl is really cute, but as they have been harping on, can she carry a 90 minute vegas show? The answer is NO.

I agree Ladytex - I hate to be the ass but since Peirs didn't I will. A great 4 year old singer is still a 4 year old singer. 4 year old singers DO NOT sound good. The Romanian twins are very attractive but GO AWAY.

I've really been underwhelmed tonight. The only act I really liked was the guy they cut that America brought back.

This is gonna sound terribly un PC, and really sexist, but the Chippendale guy shoulda done more dancing and less singing ...

I also liked that Donald guy they brought back, the Eli guy, and Nuttin' but Strings. All 3 are class acts. :-)

I love, love, love nuttin' but strings!

Second place for me is Eli Mattson.

I am so glad I found a couple acts I really like.

The little 4 year old girl does NOT belong in Vegas, she belongs in a Disney movie.

I'm scared for our baton twirling star. Last night had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath - what can he possibly do to improve on that?

As I watched the 4-year-old tonight, I decided that, although I don't agree with subjecting a child this young to this kind of competition, I had to give her and her Mom props for not doing all that cheesy pantomining junk that Moms always think makes the kid so much cuter as they sing their song. Then Sharon had to go ruin it all and tell her next time she wants hand gestures and stuff. Blech.

Just starting this.. and fear I'll miss the end since it started so late.

Seemed that most of the right ones went home from last night, but the Elvis guy slipped through?

Sickstep who I missed performing last night or ff thru, anyway, seems they are a local group from OC.. will have to watch them next time they perform.

I have a CD from Nuttin' But Stringz from a couple of years ago. One of the girls I coached had Thunder (one of their songs) as her floor music. Very quick and fun, and tons of great compliments about her routine.

Ketchuplover, why not voting for Braswell again?

I must admit I only catch snatches of this show, but did see the "Impossible Dream" performance by Braswell the other night, and thought it was great. I read the article, but did I miss something that would cause you not to vote? Thanks!

Did you click on the link in my previous post? In his first performance he made it sound like he hadn't sung for 11 or 12 years. However now I'm starting to realize that they all probably have previous professional experience. I just think you shouldn't present yourself as something you're not.

I love Neil's voice. He is my favorite for a win. His voice should not go unrecognized even if he doesn't get the whole enchilada. I missed last nights show but heard a replay of "mama" or whatever it was titled on the NBC site.
