Aren't there a couple more magicians to come in the semifinals. I seem to remember them being heavy with magic acts. The guy with the white hair comes to mind.

Murray Sawchuck (Magician who just goes by the name MURRAY) Michael Grasso - the magician who got through during the Wild Card week Plus there are the two acrobats who pulled the trick where "he" dropped the "she" and she screamed and the judges and audience were stunned...during Wild Card week. They are called acrobats, but it was also a trick performance.

How in the World is America going to pick just 5 acts out of all that talent from tonight. I saw 3 or 4 acts that didn't "Wow" me, but there were a lot more than 5 that did!!! Tomorrow night is going to be something .... can't wait!

I don't know, Ginger. DH and I actually watched the "recap" section twice to try and figure out who's going through. We're usually pretty good at this but tonight ......... I really want Alice Tan Ridley and Debra Romer to go through and I'm worried about both of them.

I had five definites and two I'd like to have voted for, but ran out of fingers. I want Alice Little girl opera singer Murray Bike guy Fighting Gravity to go through. My other two fingers were for the other magic guy and Haspop.

I thought Alice was just ok. I was more blown away by Grasso than Sawchuck. I voted for bikeguy.

5 acts move on from last week's show and 5 move on from last night's show.... every show has had 12 acts performing. Would the finale have 12 acts then as well? If so, where do the other 2 acts come from? Will there be another wildcard night?

Wow, what an amazing show last night. That bike guy was insanely brave or bravely insane, to do that stunt, in his condition. Still rooting for Alice as my numero uno. But so many acts were outstanding last night!!!

Jackie Evancho tends to worry me - such a young girl can easily cause permanent damage her pipes attempting songs that exceed her physical and technical development. So far she seems to have stayed within a low mezzo, which is fine and really compliments the timber of her voice. At the age of 10, though, she is more of a mimic than an artist. No doubt about her talent, though. Looking forward to hearing her as she matures and hopefully receives top coaching. She's an adorable little girl, and so unbelievably composed. Maybe one day she will break off a Rosina at the Met.

Jackie Evancho sings beautifully, but, for me, it was really hard to watch her. Her voice seems so unnatural for a girl that age. I like her better if I don't watch her sing. I enjoyed the first magician. I hope he goes through. I also hope Alice makes it as well. She knocked that song out of the park. I think the following will go through - Alice Little girl opera singer Young Piano Player The magician that is not Murray Fighting Gravity Loved the bike guy from Talent, Oregon (just down the highway from me). But, I think some of the other acts were a bit better. Love Howie's comments.... he's such a fan.

Jackie Evancho makes a case for reincarnation. She definitely was a major opera singer in a past life.

This is another case where the bracket system can come back to bite ya. The sixth place person, whoever that turns out to be is going to be better than the fifth place act from last week. Maybe someone can get creative and declare a tie for the tenth place spot and allow six to go through from last night, because there were definitely AT LEAST six acts who deserve to be in the finals. My votes are for: Jackie the Opera singer Michael Grasso the magician The bike guy Alice Fighting gravity. But Murray the other magician and the aerialist couple were also impressive.

I'm really pleased so far - I'm glad Jeremy made it, but I will say I'm shocked that Alexander is out.

I'm shocked. I thought for sure Alice Tan Ridley would be put through. I'm happy they selected the dance group though.

Thanks for spoiling Rvon! I agree - I'm shocked out the piano player and Alice! Very interesting! I am happy with the 5 that went through though (though I could have gone either way with Jackie - she doesn't enamor me that much really). I think last nights Top 12 was way harder than last weeks!

I think Alice would have gotten through instead of Christina and Ali had she been on last week's show. But, they must have a way of dividing up the acts. So, next week is 10 acts...but the Finale is not til September 15th. Anybody know what happens next week........do we go to a Final 4 or 5?

I agree Ginge, Alice is my fave. I'm beyond disappointed AND shocked at Sharon's betrayal. Sharon initially said she was shocked nobody had signed Alice when she first heard her, Alice has been consistently fantastic and she also glammed up considerably over the past few weeks. What more did Sharon want? There's no doubt they are talented, but does anyone really think that the kids she put through are Vegas headliners? Frankly I originally thought the finale would be Alice and Jackie going head to head, but now I think the finale will be between Jackie and Prince Poppycock. I left Alice a message on her FB page that I'm convinced she'll still get a record deal somewhere. In the meantime, I'm seriously bummed.

I am disturbed also that the sisters singers act made it through and Alice did not. How in heavens name did they divide up the acts for the 2 semi-finals? Seemed very unbalanced. Is it just luck of the drawer, anyone know? I just had to bite my tongue. Both those final acts belonged in tonight, but some from last week didn't. shame.
