Yes he did, but I do think Terry may have spoiled them into thinking they would find someone as special this year. Terry is really quite unique, IMO.

Still I am upset that the baton guy isn't still in the mix.

Well, they def won't if the judges keep soft selling acts that shouldn't have been there. The blow up dolls should never have made the top 40, let alone 20, and the lil 4 yr old shouldn't have either.

I've only just started watching this, and all I can say is the first two acts so far have no business being on my TV screen. Paul Salos sounded horrible, and that four year old can't sing her way out of a paper bag. She has no business being in the top 10. This show is a joke so far. I hope the remaining 8 eights get better!

ETA: I don't think that little girl was cute as heck either. And I couldn't understand a word she was saying when she was talking.

The little girl has almost lost her voice. She really really needs a week or two of not singing at all. She wasn't so much off key last night as losing her voice completely. Did anybody else notice that?

The lineup of the top ten just don't interest me any more. I don't care who wins.

After confirming with WhosMom, we've both agreed to take this one off our DVR schedule.

That's my favorite, too, Marysafan...Sine back when they showed him the first time :-) I just wish we could see Eli without his hat for a change. I think I see why he wears a hat, because they showed his dad in the audience last night and he is totally bald. Maybe Eli has started balding and he doesn't like it.

So if the top 5 are not the following people, I'm permanently giving up on this show AND on America:

Neal E Boyd
Queen Emily
Eli Mattson
Jessica Price
Nuttin But Stringz

Of those, I think Stringz should win it.

As for the others:

2 child acts (have no business being on my TV!)
2 impersonators (don't we have enuf of 'em already?)
1 tired sounding man (Braswell) who doesn't impress me

Do I sound jaded? Yeah, I think so. This season has bored me to tears, and I think part of it are the acts that would never hold a 90 minute show in Las Vegas yet the judges put them thru (and that includes the kids, the impersonators AND the giant blow up dolls!).

Having traveled two out of the past three weeks, I missed most of the previous shows this season. So I was surprised to see the two kid acts in the top 10. Thankfully, this hasn't ever been on my record list on my DVR (cause it'd just be a waste of space).

You could always FF through the acts you don't like. I always FF through the big opera singer, and the big Diva. Both overrated. 3 or 4 notes is about all I can take of them.

Here is my take on this mess. First of all, David H. and Sharon O. aren't that great of judges. Piers usually knows what he is talking about. Last night, David told 7 of the 10 acts basically that they should win.

From bottom to top:
10. 4 year old (needs to be in pre school, not a Vegas night club.)
9. Paul, Sinatra wanna be...would do good as a wedding singer.
8. The Wright Kids...not right for me
7. Blonde girl who wants her Father to love her...I am tired of feeling sorry for her and last night she looked beautiful...however, I could not understand a word she was singing.
6. Joseph..Elvis wanna be...entertaining. but a dime a dozen in Vegas.
5. Queen..I don't get the standing ovation, I couldn't understand some of her singing words either.
4. Donald B. o.k., but I am tired of his sob story too.
3. Neil...not as good last night...he has a powerful operatic voice. (is operatic a word, lol)
2. Strinz..love them
1. ELI-adore him! Would definitely pay to see him and would buy his cd's.

I'm not a fan of Eli at all. I mean, he's good, but I don't think he should win it. I like Neal better, and Nuttin But Stringz even more than that.

So are the top 5 the following?
Nuttin But Strings
Queen Emily
Neal
Eli
Donald

If so, yuck on Donald making it thru. I just don't like him at all!

Yep, that's the top 5. My faves are Nuttin But Stringz, but I don't mind any of them besides Donald winning.

I don't like Donald either and I'm not really impressed by Eli. I like the Nuttin But Strings and Queen Emily. It wouldn't bother me if Neal wins, but not Donald or Eli.

I want either Eli or Nuttin But Stringz to win. I'll be happy with either of these two to go the distance.

I don't think Donald Braswell belongs there, nor do I think Queen Emily does either. Neal. . . meh. Last night was not a good song choice for him; however, I have heard him sing much better on other shows, but I would still rather see Eli or Stringz win it all.
