looking at some of the talent on this show, it's just amazing to me how they put those no talent, no class slutty kittens, or whatever the heck the call themselves through to vegas ...

Ladyt, I'm with you. He was just so very special. I thought the little girl was the sweetest thing but I think it was Neil.

Katchuplover, Piers did mention Donald Trump at the beginning of the show, already.

I loved the four year old!! Sharon was getting teary eyed over her, too.. Was Neil the opera singing insurance salesman? He was really special too.

I'm guessing that Simon saw the size of Terry's contract, so this year they will be putting the winner under their own contract..

I was thrilled when Terry Fator won last year and it's great that he is having continued success.

The four year old girl was adorable, but I'm hoping this doesn't become a singing contest for kids.

I was yelling "NO" at my tv when the sent the burlesque gals thru. Personally I don't think it takes a whole lot of talent to show your "girls" and shake your bottom.

I liked the 2 guys who played the violins and I loved Neil. He reminded me of Paul Potts who won Britain's Got Talent (I think that was the name of the show). They both sang the same song.

I often think they let fodder through (burlesque) just so they'll have someone to cut in Vegas.

Terry Fator did a series of weekends at the Las Vegas Hilton.

They were very popular. Family friendly but topical (the shark & I were at the premiere show last October, third row center and took pictures the entire show - http://flickr.com/photos/konashark/sets/72157602433067070/

Last month he did a 10 minute set to open the JDRF Gala; this time I took videos - http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=konamouse&p=r

Danny Gans is moving to the Wynn (taking the place of Spamalot). So MGM-Mirage needed a new headliner. They are redoing the stage and in November it will be the Terry Fator Theater!

Here is Terry's official site: http://www.terryfator.com/

He is a great person. His MySpace blogs are from the heart. We look forward to seeing his new show next year. And maybe the next time we have a TVCH Vegas Meet, we can do it as a group.

Terry signed a $1.5 million deal with the Las Vega Hilton (performing three shows a month for the first half of 2008). Last month he signed a five-year deal to headline at The Mirage (replacing Danny Gans, and having the theater renamed in his honor). The $100 million deal can be extended to another five years, for a total of $200 million. (from Wikipedia)

At any rate, he was probably one of the best performers I've seen. Not just with the ventriloquism, but with his celebrity impersonators. And overall, he seemed like a really nice guy! I'm glad he's done so well. He deserved it.

I'm just starting to watch last night's show and I have to say... how in the world do these people think they have talent? Seriously. I mean, the guy who stuck his tongue all over his face... does he really think people will pay to see that? (Well, OK, maybe in a circus freak show type of place, but not on a stage in Las Vegas!!)

That first guy who was booed by the audience and both Piers and David Xed him yet Sharon was just letting it drag on, I thought she was quite cruel to let him go on and on and on.
Those two girls from Russia(or wherever) should not have gone thru but I guess they will provide some entertainment.
The little girl was amazing. Not just her singing but her personality and ability to understand what was being said to her. So cute!

The classically trained trumpet player was my favorite. I chuckle every time I think about him. Trouble is what else can he do in his act?

Yeah, but they sent that 4 year old to Las Vegas? Seriously? Let the kid have a normal childhood. No one would pay lots of $$ to see her perform. She's cute, but that's it (and honestly, I didn't think she was all that great, not like a major prodigy or anything).

Trumpet guy, and the guys on the violins. Loved 'em. Lots of personality and talent. Still only about half way thru, and still amazed at who they've put thru (those sisters from Bucharest????).

Denecee I am with you about the 2 girls from Russia/Romainia. They never should have been sent through. I would have rather seen the tap dancing 80 year old grandma be put through then them.
The guy who danced and played the trombone was funny. I just hope he has saved something new to get him through the next rounds.
I thought the male baton twirler was great too! I hope all the kids who teased him in school feel bad but I am sure they don't. I'm glad his mother is so supportive!

The baton twirler was great as was the last guy singing opera (now that was definitely a tear jerker performance!). Still don't get the two girls (and I agree, I'd have rather seen the 80 year old tap dancer) or the 4 year old. Why bother to bring up someone's expectations when there isn't a chance in heck they'd win?
