Ugh. Arcadian didn't make it. The Texas Tenors did. I don't get it. They sound like a jumbled up mess to me. That said, Arcadian couldn't headline a show in Vegas.

I'm still trying to figure out the voting results. I agree with about half from this episode. Grandma Lee is funny, but I don't see it as a $1 million act.

Let's see what next week brings.

Grandma lee gets the sympathy vote.

Kevin Skinner is going to win. I know some here weren't impressed with him last night but I loved his song choice.

I thought it was weird that they said only 4 were going through. Now I see that it was BS to set up the staged "toss out the rules" moment of putting both of the "judges vote" acts through. Lame.

When it got down to the 4th and 5th vote winners the judges were told they would have to decide on the final entry.

Voices of Glory or Fab 5. How could they possibly choose? So of course the tv audience is yelling at the screen for them to send both (why would there only be 4 finalists from each week anyway?). And of course that is what they did.

So next week when the host says "Top 4" shall we assume it will also be "Top 5" and the judges won't choose both at the end?

I didn't care for Kevin. In fact, I don't think anyone tonight is worth $1 million. The only singer worth that much would be the Opera singer who will be on next week. Singers bore me. It takes a good gimick for me to enjoy singing on stage (ala Terry Fator).

Of this group of finalist, the only act worth WATCHING is Fab 5 (I like dancing).

I can't even remember who Fab 5 is. Are they the cloggers from Utah?

I can't believe Acrodunk didn't make it thru but Voices of Glory, Grandma Lee, and Kevin Skinner did. Those three acts? So not worth a million dollars OR a headline act! I've not liked Kevin Skinner, Grandma Lee is amusing but she'd get boring real fast (I mean, really, how often do we have to hear the bits about Piers and Hoff?), and Voices of Glory bore me. Ugh.

Glad the Texas Tenors made it thru, though. I really do like them, although I'm not sure last night was their best showing.

I loved Acrodunk! I thought they were great and could put on a good show in Vegas.

I don't mind Kevin Skinner, but certainly don't think he's great. I was amazed that Piers put him on such a high level. There has to be a reason for that. He puts down so many that have done better than Kevin did. I think Kevin seems like a sweet guy and all, but just not a great performer.

I think Grandma Lee is funny, too. I can see the resemblance to Moms Mabley! I knew she reminded me of someone. Grandma Lee is not quite as homely.

I was kind of bummed that Arcadia didn't make it through. I felt bad that it looks like he had to do a routine he didn't want any part of.

This is really a producer driven show, much more than it first appears.

I don't know that I think any of them are great enough for a run in Vegas. Maybe I'll change my mind.

Oh, and those Texas Tenors. I know some like them but to me, BLECH.

i don't get Grandma Lee at all. I do not think she is funny. Maybe its the resemblance to my ex MIL. probably actually. But how she got through--i just don't get it. Of course i didn't vote, so its my own fault. But I don't get her, i do not feel sympathy to her at all. I don't necessarily like country music, the Texas Tenors and Kevin Skinner are really good. So there's one more semi and then the finale?

I've missed some of the episodes, but I thought there was a young girl (maybe 8?) with a great voice in the earlier episodes. Did the judges boot her or did the American public?

Kevin Skinner could headline in Branson, MO. With the exception of Terry Fator, all the contestants are only openning act quality.

interesting, another performer says the producers told them to do something they didn't want to do.

About three quarters through and a lot of misses this week, for me at least. The guy singing Careless Whisper... worst cover EVER! The illusionist didn't. The three girls weren't so good, and the deep voice guy had a song that didn't really work for me. Piano guy too, I'm sure he played whatever that mess was perfectly, but it still sounded like a mess.

Kitt, I agree. I thought it was pretty much a poor show. I really like Recycled Percussion but for me, last night's percussion was really hard to hear. I don't know if it's how they had the mikes or what, but the vocals of the music were much louder than the drum beats which defeated what they were trying to do, IMO.

Piano guy was a disappointment.

I still liked Lawrence Beaman despite his song choice. I love that song and I love his voice, but the two just didn't mesh well.

I really love the dancer/contortionist, Torres (forget how to spell his first name). There's just something really likable about him for me.

The illusionist sucked. Period. I kept waiting for them to do something, anything. Instead they chose to dance to Marilyn Manson. I thought it was stupid and a bad move on their part.

Barbara! I would have given her the check on the spot! I have heard Ave Maria sung many times...but never like THAT! Goosebumps abound.

I love the dancer Torres. (Sorry don't know how to spell his first name...so I'm not even going to try.) LOVE him. So glad he made it through.

Also glad to see Recycled percussion. They are so dynamic.

I like Lawrence Beamon a lot...but was afraid he might have blown his chance with that song choice. Glad to see he made it through in spite of it.

So sorry see the Sisters leave, but they are so young have a lot of years in front of them.

Looking forward to MONDAY night next week.

Yeah, how did I forget Barbara! She was great and will most likely win the whole thing.

As she sang, shark & I looked at eachother and said "that's the million dollar act". And neither of us like opera. But she sings like a professional. Not a crack. Pure.

On the other hand, LOVE Torres. He has PERSONALITY when he is dancing (which is what that other young man last week was lacking). He truly looked like he was having fun out there.

My third place choice is Fab Five. Again, they make it fun to watch.

Of the rest of the singers in the finale - only Beamon has the chops (he gets my nod for fourth place overall). The other two solo men, the trio and the brothers/sister are amateur in comparison.

I'll give Grandma fifth but her shtick has gotten old. Not worth even a quarter million (I remember when she tried out for Last Comic Standing). Sympathy vote. Sorry to all her fans out there (including konashark).

Just read that Susan Boyle will be making her US debut at next week's finale!
