Glad to see Cas made it to the final 10. Bye bye Boy Britney!

Thank you.
That means the Fault Line is done.
I can't believe America kept some of the others over them and that great magician!

I question some of the selections also. I still can't believe the judges put "Boy Britney" thru to the top 20 and rejected the great magicians. Guess my idea of talent differs from the experts.

Only one magician made the top 20 and he sucked. I voted for Terry Fator.

Yay! There is justice after all if Boy Confused didn't make it! Whoo hoo!

The guy with the puppet is the ventriloquist, yes? He's awesome. The tumblers were great, too!

Seems there are a lot of singers, though, in the top 10.

Played back the end of the show and here are the top 10 who will be reduced to 8 next week.

The Duttons (large singing family)
Robert Hatcher (soft spoken singer)
The Calypso Tumblers (self explanatory)
Jason Pritchet (singer/guitar player)
Butterscotch (bead box singer)(not sure if correct wording)
The Glamazons (plus size singers)
Cas Haley (my favorite singer)
Terry Fator (puppet master)
Julienne Irwin (young female singer)
Sideswipe (martial arts dancers)

I hate that it went 90 minutes. I missed the last 30 because BB and Shaq were both on and my kids were taping something on the other Replay (yes, we have 3 and they were all busy, crazy, I know).

I've decided who I want in the top five:

The Calypso Tumblers
Butterscotch
The Glamazons
Cas Haley
Terry Fator

As to which act I'd like to actually win? I'm torn between Butterscotch and Terry Fator.

FWIW, I'm sick of the poor pitiful me routine by Cas. But he is a good singer, so top 5 would be OK. I just don't want him to win.

I'd really like Terry or Butterscotch to win, I think. I like that they are both different. And since this is not just a singing contest, but a TALENT contest, I'm going that route.

I was contemplating a top five, also. Mine are (at least as of right now...):
Cas Haley
Terry Fator
The Glamazons
The Calypso Tumblers
and... okay, maybe it's a top four. Looking over the rest, they are about equally unappealing to me. Yes, there is some talent there, but none that I want to see/hear again.

I agree with you Costa on the non-singer factor being somewhat important. But "the girls" have such a great act - I love watching as much as listenting to them. And Cas - I could listen to him all day.

By "the girls" do you mean The Glamazons? I love their act. The judges were right... they are not the best singers (and last night's song kinda proved that), but they have such a great ACT! And their dancing was totally in sync.

I'm not loving Julienne (at one point I thought she was a good singer, but after last night, I don't think she's ready). I think Justin is adorable but really, how many cute CW singers do we need? I cannot stand the Duttons, for some reason. And I loved Sideswipe in the past, but I think they've gotten up on their high horse and I wasn't impressed with the kids. It's fine to make a statement, but it's not necessary to bring the kids into the equation. (Although I did think the judges were a wee bit mean on that.)

Pamy, I wondered if that was the same show you saw, but that does mean he got a gig there at least.

I like the Glamzons and the ventriloquist guy.

Is it wrong of me to expect that the performers be true amateurs?

Interesting how many of these types of shows select one star and then you don't hear a lot about them again. What about the little girl who channeled Jennifer Holliday last year who won? Or the guy who won "FAME" a few years ago and is probably still working in a clerical pool somewhere.

...or Tyra's top models.....I know a couple have had some luck but none have ever turned into America's top model

I think this show would be better if they had winners for 3 dif categories

I agree. You don't see too many winners later. Yoanna House and Naiema former winners of ANTM were on an infomercial about that mineral make-up. I wonder how Grease will do on Broadway?

What Pamy said. I think it's why I like the other "acts" better... aren't there enuf singing shows these days?

Most "winners" of these types of reality shows have a brief moment of fame and then disappear. Many just can't parlay their win into a real career. Tyra's models are (for the most part) a joke in the industry, as are many of the reality TV show "stars" (they are jokes in the "real" acting industry).

Just finished watching the Today show and I couldn't believe they had "Boy Shakira" (aka Boy Britney) dancing outside on the plaza. Decided at that point it was time to take a bathroom break!

The Calypso Tumblers and The Duttons were eliminated tonight.
