Gotta agree with Hoff. Boy Shakira shouldn't have made it out of the first round.

Ohgoodgawd. Bollywood Boy has almost NO rhythm at all. And Boy Shakira, while he makes a great drag impersonator, sure doesn't bode well for America's talent. He's a great drag queen, but on this show he's a joke! I loved the redneck tenors. I'd have much preferred them to stay than either of the two "Boy"s. And Pamy, I was wondering about Ivan's fall last night, too. He did fall, but the way he lifted up off the chairs totally and completely ramrod straight and landed totally and completely ramrod straight with his arms right at his sides, just seemed weird. I dunno if he was trying to recover from the initial fall or what, but that certainly seemed a weird way to land on the floor, yes?

yes and the utube-ers are saying he did it so we would all be talking about him online for days...prolly figured he wouldnt win so this way he gets lots more press....but like I said, they did say he wasnt responding, so who knows....I dont think the producers would be in on a fake out..

I am disappointed that two singers didn't make it... I don't know their names sorry... the guy that always talks about his gramma and the blonde with the guitar that is real quiet/shy seeming I don't see how anyone can claim that boy shakira has talent, I don't get it.

I'm really disappointed that those four guys they praised so much for being a class act last week didn't make it. Instead they picked Bollywood and Shakira? What are they smokin'?

I can't believe they advanced both Boy Shakira and Bollywood guy and let really good performers go...what were they thinking? At least Leonid didn't make it again. He's pathetic. Re: Ivan Urban Action figure....watch that closely, I think it was a complete set-up. First, nobody would put a trampoline on a slippery stage without something to make sure it doesn't slide...that's what the trampoline did..slide right into the chairs. The chairs weren't in a straight line either, they're curved. Also, if you watch closely, he doesn't go stiff until after he flips up into the air. Can we say "ratings stunt?"

I love Cas Haley (walk on the moon singer), Kevin James (magician), and Butterscotch. Cas has a band called Woodbelly and although I don't know much about them, I would also buy his solo album if he put one out. His first performance gave me chills! I wonder why there was controversy between the judges about him?

Did the group that had the guy on crutches not make it? I thought they had, but then they were not shown last night. I can not believe they kept Bollywood and Shakira either, that is so ridiculous. You could tell David was upset about it as well. I would figure Peirs would be the one to say no to them. I liked the other magician that they sent home.

Lazy Legs? I loved them! And he was so awesome! I hope they did get thru. And if they didn't, and those TWO did, I'll be even more upset! David really should've made more of a stand, rather than the fake stand he made. I have no idea what Sharon or Peirs are thinking with Boy Shakira. Yeah, he's amusing. But what talent is there in a (horizontally challenged) "boy" dressing like a girl? I mean, he doesn't even sing... he just "dances" (and I use that word loosely!).

Boy Shakira reminds me of the dance partner for Jimmy Kimmel on this year's Dancing With The Stars. Except he was funnier and more entertaining!!

So, just watched the show... I really wonder if it's the UK sensibilities. Them trying to conform their standards to what America's top talents are. Because it's the two Brits that loved Bollywood Boy and Boy Shakira. And thought them both entertaining. Yet they repeatedly told other acts that they didn't know if they saw that act as "headlining an act on a stage in Las Vegas." Um, excuse me, but do you really see Bollywood Boy headlining an act? Or Boy Shakira? Maybe as a drag queen, but he sure as hell is not gonna headline a drag act. There were three I'd have much rather seen put thru. The magician with his assistant (the water tank guy). The female comic. And even the girl with the guitar (who didn't do so well the day before but is still a bazillion times better than Bollywodd). So... I am not going to watch this show. I absolutely will not support a show that thinks those two are anywhere close to being "America's Top Talent." And if the Brits think they are, then, truly, I think the Brits need to go back home and bring 'em on "Britain's Top Talent" show. I'm absolutely furious. They turned what could've been a fun show into a joke. I'm glad Hasselhoff sees that, at least.

We slow mo'd the stunt. The trampoline didn't slide, he was going too fast or hit it too close to the far edge that the leg seemed to collapse. He put his hands out in front of him but his forhead hit the back of the farthest chair very hard, that probably knocked him out cold.

This is my first post in about 6 years of just reading this board. I was so furious with them for NOT taking the Three Redneck Tenors. My mother, daughter and I saw them in Shreveport doing their entire show. I have never laughed so hard and their music was absoultely beautiful. The guy in the middle who got so upset, he actually wrote the play they perform. We as Americans were jipped if you ask me. Paul Potts from Britians Got Talent, will do amazing things, these guys would have joined him if given the chance. Instead we are made laughing stalks because of childish and redicilious acts like Boy Shakira.

FWIW, I was watching Shakira perform during Live Earth last weekend. And decided she should sue Boy Shakira for using her name and attempting to imitate her. Because he's failed miserably!

The redneck tenors were so great..after seeing their first audition I was really routing for them..even enough to vote for them..and I have never voted on any show before...I envy you scamp for making it to one of their shows..hopefully the exposure they did get will help them go to the next level of their careers ...at the very least they gained one more fan ME and I'm sure a lot more

I loved that little dog at the end (in one of the cut acts). Sharon O went to hug the kid who was holding the dog. The little dog let out a little rrrrrr, and looked up at Sharon with a look that suggested she was about to lose the end of her nose!

Kevin James sucked bigtime. The singers all did well except for Jonny Come Lately. If Sharif gets through he can thank the judges. Butterscotch makes Blake Lewis look like a pile of manure. I see a grammy in her future.

I was doing a little channel-surfing and was delighted to stumble upon that collection of abs-crobats (SideSwipe or SidesWipe - something like that). Anyway, they were quite the tasty critters. Something tells me they'll go far. Worse case, they can put out a beefcake calendar and make a few schekels from that. Woof, woof.
