The Glamazons didn't sound good at all in the beginning, but DAYUM the routine was nice. Bringing the dancing dudes out was defintely a smart move.

I'm glad the Duttons are gone. Not a fan.

I was glad to see the Duttons gone also. They are already well known and do a regular show f in Branson and have for years. I think the show should be about people who are not already known.

Grrrr!! There were huge thunder/rain storms all during the show and my satellite dish blacked out. Did Cas and/or Terry Falor do well? I really liked them in earlier shows...

Spoton - Both Cas and Terry did great. Kudos from all of the judges. Cas is my favorite singer but after last nites performance, I'm pulling for Terry. He has a remarkable talent.

Good! Thanks, Bombay. I think there is a rerun prior to next weeks show that I could catch.

Someone please tell me what is so great about Cas. Cause for some reason I'm just not feeling him. I don't see the "OMG You are so incredible you'll probably win this thing" that the judges are seeing. And, obviously several folk here are seeing it too. What the heck am I missing?

IMHO, his voice isn't all that special. And for some odd reason, his facial expressions when he sings really bug me. I was trying to watch and analyze why they bug me so much, and I just can't pinpoint it.

While watching the show last night, I couldn't help but wonder why Piers didn't criticize the Glamazons for bringing in the male dancers since he was so critical of Sideswipe last week for bringing in the kids. Looked like the same thing to me .

Because Piers has problems with kids in acts in general.

Who - Speaking only for myself, I like the type of music he sings and his voice is unique to me. However, I don't feel "OMG-he's the greatest", nor do I think he should win. I'm not a fan of hip-hop or country music, so maybe it's more the songs he selects. Going to ponder that one. Nevertheless, I'm hoping Terry wins it all.

Whoami- I love Cas because I like that style of music that he sings ..it puts me in such a good mood b/c it reminds me of chillin' on the beach at night with friends and sippin' on a cocktail..like a cross between UB40 and Sublime...but trust me...you are not alone

no one else in my house likes him for the same reasons you have said... but what can you do

Anyways...I used to be for Cas winning but Terry Fator has really won me over the past few weeks...he seems more than past due for this chance so even if he doesn't win (but I hope he does) I hope he can realize his dream of headlining in Vegas

Butterscotch was great tonight, I really like the jazz sound, definately my favorite of all her performances.

I was really surprised that sideswipe beat out Calypso but then they really did a good job on their performance...however I don't think its good enough to win.

My prediction for final for:

Cas
Terry Fator
Butterscotch
Sideswipe

I think that Butterscotch has an amazing and unique talent. That said, she keeps it very closed up .. very personal and does not involve the audience at all.

When she was doing "My Funny Valentine" at the piano, I wanted her at some point to open up, take the mike and walk down stage. Look at the audience and "make music" with her head UP. INCLUDE the audience. Share with the audience. She doesn't do that. She does it for herself and the audience just happens to be able to hear.

I thought it was appropriate that the bottom three were the large groups and I'm fine with who went home.

I still like the ventriloquist best...

I'd love to see Terry Fator win this thing. For one, although it's a singing act in a way, he is probably the best ventrilioquist I've ever seen. I cannot believe how easy he makes it look.

I am still loving Butterscotch. She's starting to really grow into the star role, but I don't see her winning. Beatboxing is just too nonstandard for middle America, I think.

I thought Sideswipe did better, but I just don't see them as much more than a tumbling act, performing at Circus Circus. Love the Glamazons, but again, not sure about their headlining anything since their singing isn't great (although their performances are wow!). I'm not a huge Cas fan, and I think a large part of that is his "I have to win because my wife works and I stay at home and do gigs for $100 a week" card. Bleah. Still not feeling Julienne and wish she'd gone. Same with the black singer and the cowboy singer. Just not wowing me.

And I'm so glad the Duttons are gone.

I'm surprised the black singer, the cowboy singer, & the 14 yr old girl singer are even still there. There is nothing spectacular about any of them - you can see/hear better @ high school talent shows or bars.

IMO - Cas is the only singer who even has a chance.

I don't consider Butterscotch a "singer" because that's not her total act & I think she's very talented.

Terry isn't a singer either even though that puppet sure sang great the other night. Terry has this in the bag unless his performances start slacking off.

Alot of practice & conditioning goes into acts like sideswipe & I would prefer to see them in athletic competitions not in a show like this.

I don't think the glamazons are that talented either - they have just latched onto a unique gimmick (nearly naked fat chicks dancing (flopping) around on stage & kinda singing ok).

I really hope that Terry wins the whole shebang. The others are OK, but I can really see Terry headlining in Vegas or Atlantic City, maybe even having a TV special some day. As for the others, well, they have gotten notices and maybe some of the singers will land a record deal. I just wish the Calypso guys had made the cut instead of Side Swipe.

Terry only sings once in awhile, the puppet does most of the singing .

The first time that I heard Cas I wanted him to take it all the way for the win. What really stood out on this last performance is that it all sounds the same. So, while I could listen to him all day because I love the reggae beat and he is very good at using his signature style on the songs, I can't imagine huge album sales on the same reggae sound for every song on the CD. I think he might be a one-hit wonder, at best.

I'm voting for Terry, well, really his puppets because they're much more talented than him .

I just started watching this a bit ago, but was really disappointed how many singers ended up in the finale, especially Julienne, who was the one person I definitely wanted to leave. I have trouble listening to her some of the time, she seems offkey. And Cas is okay, but not tremendous. I wish Sideswipe had made the final 4 cut, oh well.

Terry Fator was great tonight. So consistently good, whether it's judges choice or his own. Being a puppeteer myself doesn't prejudice me, but I am fascinated when he applies thoroughly one of the basic tenants of good puppetry when the puppeteer is in view: look at the puppet, not the audience; believe in the puppet and the audience will too.

Second choice would be Butterscotch, she really has a varied and unique talent. Just needs a little development, and even during this competition she has grown.

third choice of mine would be Cas.

I really would hate for Julienne to win this. For her own sake as much as anything. She needs much more development and maturity in her voice before she registers a win.

Thanks for all the input on Cas. I don't really dislike him, he just does nothing for me.

I wish the Glamazons had gone through. But I guess I understand why they didn't.

All my votes will go for Terry, even before I watch the DVR recording. He's head and shoulders above all the other acts.

They should really call this show "Not good enough for AI"

Let's see a final four of non-singers....or call the show somthing else and stop kidding ourselves.
