Now if Paul Potts appears, it would be an amazing trio.

Well I thought they all brought their A game tonight!

I didn't think the guitar guy did "I don't want to miss a thing" justice though. And I just don't get Grandma Lee.

My favs tonight were Lawrence Beaman, Barbara Padilla, Kevin Skinner, Grandma Lee and Voices of Glory. I wouldn't mind a win by Lawrence, Kevin or Barbara.

I think Lawrence and Barbara both have great voices and enjoying hearing them sing despite not being much of an opera fan. I agree with Sharon & Piers that although Kevin Skinner doesn't have the best voice in the comp, he is a diamond in the rough. Grandma Lee has made me laugh. I thought the Voices of Glory gave a great performance but I probably wouldn't go see them perform. I would be more likely to buy a ticket to one of my other top 5's show.

The Texas Tenors were lucky to get this far IMO, only one of them sings really well and it ain't the blonde in the middle.

I just don't get the judges love for Recycled Percussion. IMO, they really are recycled, just doing what Stomp and The Blue Man Group has been doing for years and not doing it exceptionally well either.

I think Hairo Torres chose the wrong song for his dance tonight and would liked to have seen a few other moves from him.

The Fab Five are overgrown cheerleader's as far as I am concerned.

Drew Stevens just doesn't quite have the voice. Perhaps some training would help.

I think all the acts were wonderful, but as far as being a successful Vegas act, I really only see Recycled Percussion or maybe Hairo Torres.

Texannie, I am with you. :-) I just love Hairo, for some reason. I appreciated what he attempted to do last night, too. You could tell it was very raw and emotional for him. He would be great on SYTYCD.

And, I love Recycled Percussion, too.

Different strokes and all that! I enjoyed Andrew Stevens last night. I love Lawrence and Barbara.

I think Grandma Lee is funny, too. She reminds me of the cartoon, Maxine.

My list (I think they would make a Vegas show interesting):
Barbara (I personally don't listen to opera but this woman deserves to be in NYC, London, Paris, etc)
Beaman (again, I don't pay to listen to singers but this man should have a record contract)
Fab Five (they are entertaining to WATCH - and that is why I like Vegas shows)
Torres (he danced from his HEART last night)
Recycled Percussion (yes, BlueMan Group + Stomp, but that is something that could play in Vegas).

Put Fab Five in front of Recycled Percussion for a set.

Stevens & Voices of Glory had their best performances of the entire competition, but they are not strong enough to headline any show. Neither is Grandma Lee. I still don't get Texas Tenors or Kevin Skinner (he should have done a Country Western song instead).

I think Barbara is incredibly, as are the Voices of Glory and Beamon, but I have been to alot of Vegas shows and I don't really see them bringing in the crowds. Sure, maybe if they had a following already (and don't think this show is enough). Grandma Lee could be in one of the lounges.
I could see the Texas Tenors or Kevin Skinner in someplace like Branson.

Every time Sharon gushes at how perfect the 3 cowboys are in their harmonies, I truly wonder what the heck is she hearing? They always seem completely off to me.

The fab 5 are interesting to watch, but did you notice how awkward they are when they try to add moves from other dancing genres? Those has to be some of the most awkward pirouettes I have ever seen. Same goes for that jump, I am not sure of the name of it. The move where you jump and kick one leg very high in back, and you throw your arms in the air. I was cringing for them.

Oh, one more funny thing. Did you notice how all of the Fab 5 husbands sort of look alike, too?...LOL

Thanx Kitt! Phew. I'd HATE to miss it, cuz of BB's finale. And I can't wait to hear Susan Boyle's performance, as well as seeing the winner get crowned. I'm rooting for the lovely opera singer.

My rankings:

1) I thought the performance of the night was Voices of Glory. Their voices and their harmonies were right on. They brought down the house...well at least my house...but then I was the only one home. Simply OUTSTANDING!

2) Barbara is in a class by herself. I docked points only because I believe she repeated a song that she did earlier. If she doesn't win this thing...the biggest, baddest, best opera house needs to be paying her a call.

3) The Three Tenors are possibly the best as far as a Vegas act. The seem to be able to do different types of music and make it their own. And They're oh so cheesy...not that's that a bad thing...in a Vegas sort of way.

4) Lawrence is also very versatile. I still enjoy his powerful voice more when he is being less "pop" and more broadway...but that's probably just my personal bias showing.

5) Re-cycled Percussion rocked the house. They are utterly noisy and very "stomp-like", but they have so much energy and are so dynamic that they seem to overcome all my prejudices and blow me away in spite of myself.

6) Drew Stevyns did without a doubt his best performance to date. He sang from the heart and really connected with me for the first time. I was very proud of him and very glad for him. I think he has been overshadowed by Kevin Skinner all along. I think the judges felt they had to make a choice between the two and they chose Kevin. Last night Drew out performed Kevin in a big way.

7) The fab five were still five and still fab, but I didn't think their costumes did them justice. There is only so much you can do with their kind of act...but I think they maximize themselves every week.

8)Kevin Skinner had another disappointing performance. His performances have been going steadily downhill since the beginning. Pierce's standing O for a performance that he himself judged as being sub-par by "missing some notes and being flat"...waves a HUGE red flag for me. As does the film sequence of Kevin with his family and the mention of his being "un-employed"...an obvious ploy to gain sympathy of the voters. If Kevin Skinner wins...the win will be suspect.

9) Hairo Torres looked like he had already decided that he couldn't possibly win this thing, so instead of trying to win and just doing the same stuff we've seen already, he decided to showcase another side of himself. GREAT career move. Somebody give this boy a job! I love him no matter what he dances to. Heck, I love him even when he isn't dancing. I just love him.

10) Grandma Lee. I'm glad she made it to the end, and hope she gets some good gigs from this...but she is not in the same league as the others. Love her dearly though. And she makes me laugh.

ALL in all a great and some really incredible acts. I have no idea who will win...for the first time, I can't even narrow it down to two.

Is anyone watching this sh*t? Where is the talent? This is the most horrible opening I have ever seen for a talent show. I love Terry Fator. None of these acts would entice me to go see them. Alright, I'll go back to my corner now. Enjoy. :-)

LOL Mak!

I'm not exactly happy with the top 5, either. Two of the acts in particular.

They could have eliminated most of the "stars" except for Susan Boyle and the other young lady who won the X Factor. At least they have some connection to this show (via Simon Cowell) and they could have gotten the show in in an hour. A lot of bloat if you ask me.

Has Susan Boyle been on yet??? I plan to watch her tonight, but will be flipping between AGT and SYTYCD. If anyone can give me a timeframe for her appearance I would really appreciate it.

Just heard her sing Wild Horses on YouTube...one word. WOW. Gave me goosebumps. I've already pre-ordered her CD. Love her...

Unfortunately no. Haven't seen it yet, but I just saw the announcement on a news link online.

Yuck. I didn't like him from the beginning. He just didn't do anything for me. How he got through each level of the competition is beyond me.
