Now this is the right way to do a musical reality show. American Idol makes fun of contestants, and then totally shoots them down. It's like they are doing their best to ruin the spirit of these kids and make them give up their dream (and I don't care how horrible you are, you have a right to your dream!) On this show Debbie is building them up even as she tells them 'you didnt make the cut', she is encouraging them and telling them 'hey, you didnt make it this time but don't give up'. THIS is a show I will watch again

Puttergirl, there are 6 performing each night for the next 4 weeks. The judges will pick 3 of the 6 to move to the finals. When they finish the 4 weeks there will be 12 and then America will vote. They didn't say how many will leave each night after that. Hope that helps.

I agree Neetka, I really like the positive encouragement. You are so right, this is the way to do a reality talent show.

It is really good, Seamonkey, they do critique them but not at all like AI. They tell them what they are doing wrong and what is right so that there is a balance. When something is wrong it is not said sarcastically at all. They kind of give them ideas on how to fix it. I really like it.

My guess to go on is the first girl and the last 2 guys, but I could be wrong.

This could be as big as AI.

The kid who said dancing was not his strong point messed up a bit, he kind of walked into a couple of people during the group dance number. I hope that doesn't knock him out, he had a great voice

Now that was nice, I loved how Debbie talked to the ones eliminated and gave them lots of praise and encouragement.

Oh I like that Debbie walked out with the ones who were eliminated and encouraged them to continue in their ambition. That is SO classy to focus on them instead of just switching the spotlight to the winners and ignoring those eliminated. We will see more of those who are going on, it was a good decision to focus on those who are going home.

Hmmm, Debbie told them "This is not goodbye, ok?" I don't know if that means they could come back to the show somehow, or if she means she expects to see them make it in the future. I'm glad she is so nurturing to them all. Great show!

I loved this show!! Very cool of Debbie the way she handled the kids. Of course, I love Debbie Allen!! So that makes this show easy to watch.

Uh, oh - I REALLY tried not to form any opinions about the performers, but Gary got to me. He dedicated his performance to someone "not on this planet" -- his grandma. Then he did a great job on "Rock with You." He's got my (very early) vote. Just tell me what number to call!

Gary's smile is gorgeous! He can even make it look cool to wear a hat on stage. I agree with the choices tonight.
