Michael Grimm from last Tuesday's AGT Talent has already received almost 400,000 hits to watch his audition at YouTube.com. I still think that was an awesome interview and performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMvJw_TnyyU

For anybody that might be interested ... an interview with Michael Grimm during his last gig in Branson, Mo. He can't book anymore gigs because he has signed a commitment with AGT for the summer show. http://www.branson.com/news/2010/06/07/branson-entertainer-michael-grimm- pursues-dream-on-nbcs-americas-got-talent/

If you have a chance, the best parts of tonight were watching Gabaret (sp?) from Precious - her mother sang tonight. And then the very last act. The best part about it was Pierce's reaction. And I love Howie Mandel as a judge, he does an awesome job!

Kar, did you not like Prince Poppycock? I thought he was a great singer and his costume/makeup was incredible. The magic act where they switched places was good, how in the world did they do that??

Beachcomber, I thought Prince Poppycock was on last week? The last act last night that I was referring to was the old magician.

Karuuna, did the judges know beforehand that she was Gabby's mom? The videos online I have seen make it seem like didn't know, especially since she has a different last name than Gabby.

Naja, I don't know, I missed the beginning of her performance and only caught the tail end. I know that the show told *us* that it was Gabby's mom (over and over and over )

No worries, Beachcomber. I just was so tickled by Pierce saying "I don't get it." and.. "what if he thinks he is really doing magic", and then the magician (in full campiness) proudly proclaims he IS doing magic and does another lame trick; I'm rolling in laughter, and Pierce is still going "I don't get it". LOL

The judges didn't know that Alice Tan Ridley was Gabourey Sidibe's mother. Watch some of these videos of her singing in the subway of NY. SHE IS AMAZING!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60ee5hcJGSk&feature=related

she is amazing. I just love the addition of Howie as judge. He's just so good, and always has such a good time. You can tell he just really likes people.

Nick the host knew, he talked to her right before the audition and said he knew her, and she was Gabby's mom. Unless they filmed that later and inserted it for the tv show.

nick is the host of the TV show, but not one of the judges. In editing, and in the commercials after it was known, it was added. Btw, Alice will answer your emails if you send her a message through her website, or if you post on her FB page. very nice lady.

Why in the world are they putting through some of these HORRID acts...i.e. crazy lady who can't sing OR play the keyboard, the hand whistle lady and passing on some of the really better acts. Makes no sense to me.

Those are the acts that passed through Vegas on to Hollywood! I was shocked by their choices, too! what the......?

The whistle lady was so sweet that it could have been a sympathy pass, but I cannot understand any reason to pass on the crazy lady who didn't sing anything recognizable. I felt bad that in her place they didn't pass the one man band. I've seen him in Little Tokyo and he is incredible, if not really talented. He works so hard at his music even if it comes across as strange.

Plus, they passed up 11 acts to give the 3rd group a chance tonight to compete for those spots. So, I guess they think the acts they passed up last night just weren't good enough. I agree on the crazy redhead who can't sing and can't play well.......that is just ridiculous. Not that America will vote for her, but that's a chance for somebody that really had talent to get recognition. Sometimes I think they make concessions with each other. Piers really liked the little shy blonde girl singer, but Howie didn't and Sharon was on the fence. But, Howie and Sharon really liked the old guy comedy magic act, and Piers said he just didn't get it. So, maybe that was a compromise there. You pass my little blonde shy singer, and I'll pass your comedy magic guy. All I know is, that if Michael Grimm would not have made it, I would have quit watching right now. He may not win, but he sure deserves to be in the final 48.

We turned it off and won't be watching after the ridiculous decisions for who goes to Hollywood. The two sister singers with the great story but not-so-good voices made it but the homeless vets didn't?? The guy who hops around on his bike? That's not worthy of a show that people will pay tickets for! And then the "impressions" guy goes through and the awful air band guys?? Are you kidding me? It's like they're thinking about who will generate money short term, as in, who makes good TV, but they're forgetting about who can actually front a show in Vegas. Terrible.

I think they purposefully pick about 4 BAD acts so the tv audience can eliminate them FIRST round and all the good acts get at least two live shows.
