What a semifinal! If I had to choose the final four:

Fighting Gravity
Michael Grasso
Michael Grimm
Prince Poppycock

Although Jackie is wonderful, I think she is too young to headline a Vegas show. IMHO

I wonder what they're going to do if Jackie wins - I can't believe by law a child that age is allowed to work nightly in Vegas, even if she just does one song at the end of each show??? Or is the show just once a week?

I had to look it up - seems like children who are employed as "performers" are exempt from labor laws!!! Have to be over 14 to be employed anywhere else, except by a family business, but

Children employed as actors or performers in motion pictures or theatrical productions, or in radio or television productions are exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) coverage. Therefore, FLSA rules regarding total allowable number of work hours in one day and allowable times of day to work do not apply.

I'm shocked! Hope her parents make sure she's not overworked!

I was a little disappointed in Fighting Gravity last night. Last week's was MUCH better.
Prince Poppycock - hilarious (did you watch the background...the $3 bill???? I was ROTFLMAO).
Michael Grasso - I knew he would end up in the mask just from the set up, but getting there is half the fun. Yes, the portable curtain was being moved too stiffly....but this was a quick (1 week) set up to do the illusion so I can overlook cause after more practice, this can be a regular part of his act. I figured out the trick last week (damn camera got fooled) but I study magic so I know WHERE to look and where not to be distracted.
2 male singers will probably cancel eachother out. Grimm was better last night.
Jackie is great, but I'm bored with it now.
Singing sisters shouldn't be there.
Dance troop was good, but they are not Vegas calibur yet. Shame so many acrobatic tricks were done BEHIND the troop instead of featured up front (bad choreography or on purpose to hide weakness?).
Ballroom dancing is very good...and popular (they'd probably get featured on DWTS except it's a different network).
Let's see where people voted....looking forward to the results show. This could be close.

The only ones I care about going forward are the Magician and Prince Poppycock. All the others are just background to me. The little girl is ruining her voice by over extending and Fighting Gravity has been done and over done in Japan. Look on You Tube and you will find many groups who do what they do and do it much better.

I do like Patrick and Anna, but they are just so young to be touring the country and staring in a Vegas show. I do wish they had an age limit for this show. I'd love to see a show called American's Got Young Talent.

Between Michael Grimm and Jackie Evancho they had two acts on stage and neither made it: Jeremy the bike rider, and Christina and Ali (singing sisters).

Is it a two hour finale? I don't like that they make you wait until after its over at 11. I can't stay up that late! I do not want Jacky to win--i just think she's a little too sweet. Plus the fact that i LOVE Prince Poppycock! He is a riot. If you go on Youtube, there is a lot of him. He just makes me smile :-).

I checked TVGuide.com, and it shows the Tuesday night show as one hour, and the Wednesday night show as two hours.

However, I am in the central time zone and it shows 8 to 9 for Tuesday, and 7 to 9 for Wednesday.

Lou Reed bans Susan Boyle from singing 'Perfect Day'

Last Updated: 9:42 AM, September 9, 2010

Posted: 12:14 AM, September 9, 2010

Lou Reed barred Susan Boyle from singing his classic "Perfect Day" on last night's "America's Got Talent." Boyle, who became an Internet sensation after appearing on the British version of the show, had been rehearsing Reed's song with a 100-piece children's choir. "Lou didn't want Susan to perform his song, and he's not a Susan fan," a source said. "It's a big deal to change a song at the last minute. Susan was really upset. She was in tears and was forced to pull out of the show, and decided to come back to the UK." Reps for Reed, Boyle and NBC declined to comment.

WOW! I wasn't aware of any of that. What a shame...for everyone involved including the audience.

Just wanted to add that I thought the final four were all well deserved, but I thought that ALL ten acts really did well. This was BY FAR the most entertaining top ten to date. Good going everyone!

A snippet of Susan Boyle singing A Perfect Day on youtube.

Although it's the first I've heard of this, I am absolutely furious with this Lou Reed character for hurting Susan, for no good reason. It's not as if others haven't sung his damned song before.

I've been rooting for Michael Grimes since his first audition, but Prince poppycock is an amazing entertainer and that little girl that sings opera is amazing! Such a freakishly grown up and beautiful voice coming out of that little girl!

I think I'm still rooting for Grimes to win it all....I really love the quality of his voice and his back story with the poor grandparents totally hooked me. I think the girl will have an amazing career in the opera whether she wins this or not and the same goes for Prince Poppycock....he could easily carry an entire show in Vegas or anywhere else. His outrageousness is reminiscent of Beach Blanket Babylon here in SF.

I wish they could have a 3 way tie this year and give out THREE one million dollar prizes!

Sanfran, I agree with you completely. I have loved Michael since day one, I like the soft bluesy sound of his voice. I'm glad that he didn't keep up the "look" they gave him for that one show, it just didn't fit him.

At this point I could live with any of them winning. Once Alice Ridley was out of the competition, I just don't seem to care any more. I would not have been upset for her to lose in the semis or the finals, but she was so much better than the sisters that it just really made me sick.

I suspect that for a Vegas show, Prince Poppycock or Fighting Gravity would be super. But I really like Michael Grimes. I love Jacky, but I too am getting a little bored with it.

How many are going on the tour. Is it just the 10 or will some of the others be included?
