My votes went to Michael. He sings from his heart and it comes through. I just can't see Jackie. She is not as good as the 10yr old Charlotte Church who was first named "Voice of an Angel" if anyone remembers. I believe she was Welch but did make a big hit here in the state. She now sings all types of music.

Here are PP's comments I've copied and pasted from his Facebook page regarding last night: Pudding Pie, I'm doing just fine, had a lovely time with my friends and family after the show. I was missing one thing, and piers seemed to sense that. You see I wasn't allowed to have a real white stallion pulling my chariot as I originally planned. I did however have two gentleman in horse heads pulling it on. What was missing...well the horses other end of course! That my Poppies is where Piers came in. He some how intuitively understood what was missing from the scene. What a smart little boy his is. I'm ready to put this show behind me. I miss actually performing and recording. Not competing in 90 seconds snippets. Putting this act together in 4 days on basically no sleep has taken it's toll. The moment that I got out onto the stage the sound team realized my mic and in ear monitors were not working. They ripped open my armor mid stair climb and worked feverishly to solve the problem. I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to go on. They had to tape the armor shut and by the time I started singing the monitor mix in my in ear monitors was not working. I removed one monitor but was still hearing the improper mix. ...I then removed the second monitor later in the number.

PP had microphone problems. He tried adjusting it on the way downstairs, and when in the middle of the stage he tried, somewhat unsuccessfully, to disguise removing the earbud in a grand gesture. Then Piers buzzed him. So yes - a lot of distractions. It'll be interesting to hear the results tonight, we've never known what order the higher vote-getters have been in... PP might have been on the cusp every time for all we know, even though I think he's outshone everyone. Just for fun, I predict tonight's order as: 4th Fighting Gravity 3rd Prince Poppycock 2nd Jackie Evancho 1st Michael Grimm Obviously I'd like PP to win though. Eta: wow Mameblanche, it's amazing he did as well as he did then!

Kitt: Contending with all those glitches costumewise and soundwise, I think PP did an extraordinarily professional job! ETA - the other thing that comes to mind is that most of his numbers are not 'serious' so IMHO it's a positive thing for him to have changed it up a bit. All those numbers he's done already add up to a complete Vegas show, so a little less levity in one snippet shouldn't be a problem for heavens sake. It just adds more variety to his act.

I voted for the act that I would be most likely to go see in Vegas and that was Fighting Gravity.

From the AGT website - these are the poll results from just a moment ago, and it looks like a battle between FG & PP for 1st place. Who do you think would be more successful in Las Vegas? * Jackie Evancho * 22 % * Fighting Gravity * 30 % * Prince Poppycock * 29 % * Michael Grimm * 19 %

I think Fighting Gravity and Prince Poppy would do well in Vegas. Fighting Gravity is much like the Blue Man Group in variety and unusual-ness, and they've done very very well. Prince Poppycock is just totally Vegas. I have a feeling no matter who wins, both of them will have Vegas shows.

I agree Kar, and also feel that he'd be a smash on Broadway too!

While I voted for MG, I think it will be PP and MG as the final 2, with PP winning. Pier's "X" and negative comments probably mobilized the PP voters.

People Mag AGT article - check out Jackie's comment, I happily concede that she REALLY is mature for her age. Wow. Now I'm really impressed with this young lady. Even though Piers raved about her, she's 'mad' at him. LOL. Also see Howie's comment about Piers & PP, and PP's own remarks. Btw, PP's going to do a duet tonight with Donna Summer. Yahoo! http://tvwatch.people.com/2010/09/15/americas-got-talent-prince-poppycock-piers-morgan-finale/ For me, the only thing missing from the finale is Alice Tan Ridley.

I gave all 10 of my votes for Michael, also. His talent is the type that appeals to me the most. Thank Goodness we all have different tastes, or it would be a very boring World!

I just do not see a Vegas show in Jackie, but I could be wrong. I was rooting for Fighting Gravity or Prince Poppycock because they would suit Vegas so well. Michael can perform anywhere and be successful.

Wow the ones I thought would be first and second came in third and fourth. Everyone I know wanted Prince Poppycock to win. Maybe they didn't vote. I hope the Prince and Fighting Gravity get shows anyway. Poppycock is a Vegas entertainer if there ever was one.

Michael was so sweet to take time to hug and make sure that Jackie was okay. THey really didn't have time to talk to him, that is so disappointing. I am glad he can now help his grandparents.
