She did, now you mention it! Her vocals weren't so good though! They lost the sound on the pianist - how are we expected to vote for him? I might just give him a vote anyway, I like him.

Is the guy who plucked chickens (singer) still one of the finalist or is he gone?

@justme2 - He's still there, he was on the first 1/4 final show a few weeks ago and was voted through.

In one way, I think if the piano player doesn't make it through he should get a second chance in one of the next rounds of "top 40," or just get a pass into the top 20. Its not fair that the sound went out and the whole second half of his performance was ruined by a technical failure. However, though he had me with the Pachelbel Canon in D (a favorite piece of mine), I wasn't so impressed with the theatrical performance part of the second half. He might have lost my vote with that anyway even if the sound hadn't gone out.

I'm glad the piano player got through, I think if he hadn't they'd have had to address the technical issue. I thought all the choices were the right ones tonight, which was a change. Wish there was room for the little girls too, but really, how could they perform nightly in Vegas?

I would much rather have seen Marcus make it as opposed to the juggling act.

I guess the juggling act is good--but when I look at that guy, he looks like the devil. Maybe its the act, but its creepy.

The juggling act guy has very definitely used makeup to affect his persona and to give the impression of intimidation. It works well. They singer that Piers called the next Barry White has an outstanding voice. Nick Cannon looks like a gangly 14 year old adolescent.

The husband and wife magic/juggling act is totally Vegas and IMHO will find a spot there regardless of whether they win or not. I do hope they win since Vegas is the prize. There are so many wonderful acts to root for this year. I really like the piano player, so glad he made it through. It was painful to see Sharon's reaction, I felt so badly for him. And while the 'next Barry White' is a good singer, he hasn't knocked my socks off yet. I think some acts work better in an intimate setting like live theatrical environment and some work better captured on film/tv.

This was a great update about Susan Boyle and how/what she's been doing. I figured this would turn out well for her, once somebody started looking out for her interests instead of just leaving her to the paparazzi. Especially delighted at the last paragraph: Susan Boyle has holiday back home in the UK - and goes down local chip shop 23/08/2009 http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2009/08/23/susan-boyle-has-holiday-back-home-in-the-uk-and-goes-down-local-chip-shop-115875-21618534/

That's not Britain's got talent, but X-Factor which is their version of American Idol. They do seem to have a lot of talent in the UK.

I don't understand what creditentials do Hasselhoff and Osbourne have to have them be judges in a talent contest. He may be an actor and a little bit of a singer but what is she other than a person on a stupid reality show. I guess I just don't understand. Would somebody please clue me in. Thanks.

Sharon is known for managing Ozzy after he was fired from Black Sabbath and helped launch his successful solo career. She also created Sharon Osbourne Management and managed The Smashing Pumpkins and Motorhead among others. My favorites last night were Barbara Pidilla the opera singer, the Bollywood dancers and the percussionists.

Mama, I think X-factor is more like America's Got Talent than AI as they have all types of ages and all types of acts. I think Britain's version of AI is called Pop Idol.

The X-factor replaced Pop Idol. It is the American Idol of the UK. The only difference in AI and X-Factor is that they have different age groups, but all singers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X_Factor_(UK) There is another show just like America's Got Talent called, not surprisingly, Britain''s Got Talent.

Wait a damn minute. Did Arcadian Broad expose this show tonight? He said "I didn't want to do High School Musical. The producers dealt me that hand." Peirs and Nick Cannon tried to explain it away, but I have a huge problem with what he said, if it's even partially true.

I'm sure it's completely true. He might have had the final say as in they really, really, really pressured him to do it and in the end he said "ok then," but he clearly wouldn't have chosen it. I've noticed before several of them have had the same choreographers working with them, they must have it all planned out for the younger acts. The singing guy (final act) didn't do it for me this week, he sounded a little rough. Not sure why the judges thought it was so good, I thought it lacked the emotion of his previous songs. I'd have a tough choice with tonight's act. I'd chose Acrodunk, maybe Paradiso, the three kids, the tap dancing sisters plus Arcadian because I felt sorry for him!

The judges weren't very high on Paradiso tonight, but tonight is the first night I've really liked him.

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/jerry-springer-to-host-live-americas-got-talent/27220 LOS ANGELES - Jerry Springer is coming back in the "America's Got Talent" fold this time hosting a live version of the TV talent contest in Las Vegas. Springer, who served as host of "America's Got Talent" for two seasons on NBC, will emcee the Las Vegas show at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino starting in October. It will run for at least 10 weeks, a spokesman for the show said Tuesday. Springer left the TV series to appear on stage in the musical "Chicago." His Broadway stint as flashy lawyer Billy Flynn wraps Sunday. Last year, Springer was the host for a single presentation in Las Vegas of "America's Got Talent Live." The new run starts Oct. 7 and include shows Wednesday through Sunday.

I also didn't think last night was Kevin Skinner's best performance and was shocked when Pierce not only didn't call him on it, but praised him to high heaven. (I smell a HUGE rat here.) I thought Acrodunk and the Texas Tenors rocked the house. I also liked Voices of Glory. All solid performances. I enjoyed all the dancers, I thought they were all very good. I woohooed when young Adrian Broad stood up for himself. I could tell that last night's performance wasn't his style...and I highly doubt that brining in a partner at this late stage was his idea either. The magician was a HUGE disappointment. A total what the heck moment. Can't help it...Grandma Lee just cracks me up. the talent this year seems so much better than the last two years...with the exception of Terry Fater.
