Prince Poppycock for the win! And I don't know if they didn't show him out of costume before or I missed it, but he has such a beautiful face. I like the singing group, and their gorgeous coloured shirts (for some reason I am obsessing over their shirts!) but the judges were right, there was something wrong with the harmonies this time. Hard to choose between some of the others, and as you say Mary, last week there were hardly any who deserved to go through.

Kitt, I thought Prince Poppycock had a beautiful face, too. He's a really nice looking guy. I thought the magician was really good, despite not being a big fan of magicians. I could see him doing well in Vegas. I thought the guy singer was good. I forget his name--he is young and his dad said he gave up his music career for his wife and family. Mary's right. There were so many good ones in this group. It seemed very uneven with the groups.

I liked Prince Poppycock, the magician, Taylor Matthews (the young singer) and the circus acrobat man. One of my sons loved the ArcAttack guys, but they didn't do a thing for me.

Next show is the youtube people! The youtube act with the highest public votes will be playing with 11 youtube acts the judges picked. Top four will go through to the next round. So that gets us up to a top 20 so we need four more... bet that will be the judges' picks from the top 48 rejects.

Well, I like the four choices from last night. The public got it right. What were the 3 acts that the judges had to vote on? I'd say ArcAttack was one. Who were the other two? Too tired to watch the show online today.

They picked ArcAttack over the 12 year old ballroom dancers. 2-1. I'd have gone the other way and thought Sharon would but she went ArcAttack. All the other choices were the ones I wanted from the three on stage, at least

I hope the viewers get to choose from the rejects. I just want a non singer to win. But if a singer's going to win I hope it's Miss Ridley.

konashark & I are putting our money on Fighting Gravity for the win, AscenDance to place and would love to see Prince Poppycock to show. I think this talent competition should not include young solo singers (that is why American Idol exists). But we haven't seen the YouTube contestants yet - we might have a dark horse show up next week that knocks it out of the park.

I love Alice. She is just so polished, like she has been singing on stage for years. She did not seem nervous at all. I guess after singing in the subway for 20 years, singing on stage is no big thing. And she is so likable and sweet. And wow did she look gorgeous! Kudos to whoever did her hair. It was beautiful.

But Konamouse, one of the basic premises of this talent show is that there is no restriction on age. How could they restrict people who might appear on their competition?

I don't know how widespread this is, but in my area AGT is being pre-empted for a sporting event tonight, and is instead on the sister station (where of course dvrs probably won't pick it up). SF Bay Area - not on NBC11 but is on KRON4 at the usual time, 8-10pm.

The comedian who wasn't funny. Comedian: I expected that from you. Peirs: Why is that? Comedian: ...You're just a party pooper I guess, but you can't poop on my party because I party with poop on...my face...sometimes. Sa-wing and a miss! Thanks for playing but you made Peirs's point with that response.

I don't like opera, just call me pedestrian, but that little girl was truly amazing. I'm like Nick, I was looking for the grown woman to come up from behind her. Even Sharon said she thought it was a set up.

I was blown away by that little girl...I looked at my wife and said that she sounded like she was 20 years old...My wife said "more like 40".
