Hate to say this but it always seems like the British version has better talent.

Those two were good and the magician has promise..

and the woman who did the silly dance.. she may not make it the next step but I loved her spirit and clearly so did the audience.

I feel sorry for Connecticutans (?).

Okay, now I'm curious. What do you call people from Connecticutt? (Other than people from Conn.)

Way back in the dark ages when I lived in Connecticut, we were Connecticutites.

Oops I forgot what I was going to post about the show. I watched last night's online today. I agree on the 2 singers and I loved the 62 year old dancer, I agree great spirit. This show always makes me cry, even the so so talents that get thru make me tear up when they are getting yes's from the judge.

So far I missed the early part of tonights show and other than the dog act being cute I can't remember big stand outs, lots of cute but nothing like the singers from last night.

They typically save a heartbreaking good one for the end so I may change my mind after the commercial.

We also loved Thea and the fabulous farmer. Thea blew me away and the farmer had me bawling. His initial reception reminded me somewhat of the one Susan Boyle got on Britain's Got Talent when the entire audience was laughing at her and the judges were more than a bit sceptical. She had the audience on their feet after the first few notes. When the Kentucky farmer was singing, I swear no one else in the theatre made a noise. I will bet he will be in the finals and Thea will be there right beside him.

As a side note, I wish both versions of "Talent" would not allow children under a certain age to compete. It's one thing if they are just there for the fun of it, but as we saw with little Holly Steele in Britain, they aren't all equipped to deal with the pressure of it all.

I really liked the Kentucky guy, but I was not happy with his profession, and I don't think anyone realized exactly what a "Chicken Catcher" is. It is an awful, brutal job. People always talk about the poor cows... they should live a chicken's life.

AGT really needs a minimum age. Cute kids aren't cute.

Remember the guy with kite? Yeah, I know the act was horrible and he didn't go to Vegas, but I sure thought he was handsome

I didn't pay attention to what he looked like. I'm still trying to figure out how his act was supposed to work.

no age limits or we would have only had 35-30 years of Michael jackson instead of 45 :-)

there are just as many older people who shouldnt be there as well...but then again, i am not the kind of viewer that finds humor in seeing any bad acts

The bad acts are usually more entertaining than the good acts, JMO. Enough singers. If I wanted to watch singers I'd watch American Idol.

Yeah she was funny, but I had heard the jokes before. She needs her own material.

I thought the little girl who played the keyboard and sang was very entertaining. She sounds like the little girl that she is when she sings, so not a Vegas act. I think she can probably act.

I agree about the age limit. A 6 year old girl isn't gonna to hold a Las Vegas audience, or any sort of act, for more than 2 minutes.

I also had to laugh when Sharon (or Piers?) said it was a serious show. Um, yeah, OK, so then why do you let some people thru? People you KNOW will not make it past the next round?

Denecee - That's the problem. She sounds like a little girl singing, and not a Vegas act. This show is to find a Vegas act. I don't understand why they string her along only to break her heart in the next round.

Costa - Peirs flat out said during an appearance on Howard Stern that they have to put novelty acts through as filler. But they don't have to be so damn obvious about it.

As for them KNOWING who will make it to other rounds, for the most part, they could cut them now, but once in awhile someone really grows as the show goes on, or someone gets some exposure and maybe they make something of that outside the show, so, maybe it is worth the chance.

The girl with the keyboard is close to 9, still young and voice still not all that great, but what stage presence!

I admit I am biased.
I might of agreed with everyone about not
keeping the little 9 year old keyboard /singing girl..but she is from Amarillo Texas, my home town!

I have to root for her!

And honestly, biased or not, the fact she handled the judges critiques so well( way better than most the adults on the show ) makes me want her to go farther!

The whole" Everyone needs a voice coach" line she threw out was priceless!
Consider who she was dealing with : David Hasselhoff and Sharon Osborne( her daughter Kelly's "singing carrear eekk..LOL )

Peirs was right about that old dancer guy. No way he should've gone to Vegas.

Okay this annoys me. Why did they even pretend Peirs was going to say no to the former Idol girl? I get building suspense but that was just dumb. She was obviously going through.
