I wonder if they thought that the kids would have nothing without the show, whereas the exposure they've already given to Alice will probably give her some sort of record deal. I also suspect that they put this dance group through because there are no other dance groups in the finale.

Ginger, schedule for the final episodes:

09/07/2010 (09:00PM - 11:00PM) (Tuesday) : THE TOP 10 ACTS PERFORM LIVE FROM HOLLYWOOD - The Top 10 acts perform live in Hollywood for a chance at making it to the Final Four

09/08/2010 (09:00PM - 10:00PM) (Wednesday) : THE FOUR ACTS TO PERFORM IN THE LIVE FINALE ARE REVEALED - The votes are in and the four acts that will compete in the live finale are revealed

09/14/2010 (09:00PM - 10:00PM) (Tuesday) : FINAL FOUR ACTS COMPETE LIVE ONE LAST TIME - The final four acts perform live in Hollywood one last time for a chance at the $1 million prize and a headlining show in Las Vegas

09/15/2010 (08:00PM - 10:00PM) (Wednesday) : LIVE SEASON FINALE - Live from Hollywood -- it's the season finale of "America's Got Talent" where host Nick Cannon will reveal who America has chosen to win the $1 million prize and a headlining show in Las Vegas. Special guest stars from Las Vegas and Hollywood will perform throughout the night

Thanks a bunch, Kitt. This is really going to put my knickers in a bind because the premiere of "Survivor" has moved to Wednesday night and will also fall on the night of the 15th. I'll figure something out.....

Regarding Alice ... I remember that the week before Sharon said "Do I break one heart, or two?" and she let the kite flyer go and broke one heart instead of the two sisters. Maybe last night she was thinking Alice was one heart, and the dance group was 8 hearts. Regardless, it still let's us know that Alice tied with America out of that group of 10 for 5th and/or 6th place. America voted more votes for the magician, Jackie, Fighting Gravity, and even a banged-up bike rider who flubbed his act just a little bit at the beginning of it.

What bothers me is that Alice is so much better than the two sisters from last week. They are nice singers but compared to Alice, they are weak.

Last weeks' show did not have near the talent that this weeks' did. Alice just got stuck with the stronger bunch. If she had been on last week's show,I am convinced she would have made it through. I just hope that she still gets a recording contract.

Alice was on Gail King's show today. Gail being Oprah's bff, suddenly I'm not so worried about Alice. I expect great things in her future.

Click here to hear a clip of Alice's new song WINNING. It's the last few moments of her interview with Gayle King.

The link to the interview audio clip is just below the youtube video on Gayle's page.

Hey MameBee ... thanks for the link for the interview. I listened to it. Alice did say something on there that was not right, but I'm sure she thinks it is. She said that the act that Sharon voted to put through instead of her was a "wild card" act, and I didn't think it was, so I googled it and found the list of "wild card" acts, and the "Beast Society" dance group was not a "wild card" act.

Regardless, I think I'll go buy one of her CD's too, so maybe she can get out of the subway and do something wonderful with that powerhouse of a voice she has.

Hiya Ginge, thanks for the headsup about the Beast Society. Anyhow, I've seen her subway youtubes and they are all fantastic. And you can really see how's she's morphed into a glamourpuss (LOL) as a result of AGT. I think that's the best thing the show did for her, besides of course, giving her a priceless international profile. So glad you'll be getting the cd too. :-)

Been saving this all week to watch the show before coming in here.
I knew what was coming with Michael's act (I'm such a magicfile that I have learned or figured out almost all stage illusions), but he did it so well. I had NO IDEA he was a kidney transplant survivor (no less than 3 times). Wow!
Young opera singer is great, but I'm not a big fan. Loved the aerialist act, but it's something seen in any Cirque show. Dancing kids troupe was great, but those acts haven't been going thru this year :-(

However, OMG! Fighting Gravity was AMAZING.
They've been my favorite since seeing their audition. They really stepped up their game.

Prince Poppycock for the win! He's spectacular!

I thought Fighting Gravity sacrificed performance for gimics.

I thought the young girl dancer's dress covered her legs too much (although appropriate for the dance) and it meant we couldn't see how fast and precise she was on her feet. Shame about the slip too, and I'm not sure it was kind of Piers to make such a huge deal of it.

I don't know who Michael Grimm is - he sang the song well but is it really him?

The sisters were sweet, but not good enough for final four.

Other singer was ok but not special.

Bike guy was good but not sure if he's top 4 material.

Dance troop stepped up their game, but still not as good as previous years' winners (by far imo).

Magic guy I enjoyed - can't work out how she got out of that box so quickly with all the knives in there. Second time his swap was obvious, but only once you rewound, which I guess you wouldn't be able to do live, so it's ok.

Jackie Evancho predictably very good, but not as appealing as last time for some reason - maybe because the song was too high for my ears!? (I wish her speech-like comments at the end were less rehearsed though.)

I think Prince Poppycock, Jackie Evancho, Fighting Gravity and the magician should be the final four.

Anyone else watched?

I think I have the magician's trick figured out. There were two boxes. The first box had fall away sides. The second girl was already in a second prepared box.

When they closed the curtain, the box sides fell away and that girl emerged. Then the second box was slid into place. All they had to do then was remove the swords an let her out.

How and when Michael put on the other costume is the mystery. But that is a case of the hand or body in this case being quicker than the eye.

Just my analysis of the trick. Sure I missed something that will make my solution not work.

But it was a great trick. We all expected him go come out of the box.

I really enjoyed last nights show except I pretty much fast forward through the singers and dancers except Prince Poppycock.

Here's who I want to win and the order:

1. Fighting Gravity
2. Prince Poppycock
3. Michael Grim

I fee they are the best 'Vegas' acts.

Last night's show was so spectacular, that I can't imagine what the Final Four show is going to be like.

I voted for Michael Grimm, but I see the Prince Poppycock love. That's a Vegas show waiting to happen. I voted for MG because, to me, he stood out more than the others. PPoppy is a great act, just not my cup of tea.

The magic act was not that amazing to me. As Allietex said above, it was kind of easy to figure out. I even said, he will be in one of the masked outfits.

Fighting Gravity was not that interesting to me last night. Maybe the novelty is wearing off.

Jackie E. - Beautiful voice, but I do not see that as a Vegas act, maybe if Vegas was set at the Met in NY.
