America's Got Talent

[FIJIFan]

Army dude needs to go back to the army. He is just not all that good.

The James Gang needs to take a hint from the song they performed..."Hit the Road Jack."

Comments?

[FIJIFan]

Zooperstars should have gone a long time ago.

[wantsBU2win]

I agree Fiji.

I thought The Cadence and Queen Emily rocked!! The Wright Kids were much improved, but I don't think they will be on much longer.

[FIJIFan]

I heard Cadence (didnt see it) but I am not sure about them...I think Blue Man Group as well as several other precussion type groups out there, and Cadence does not come close to that level.

Queen Emily did a good job...although there were a couple "iffy" moments on her pitch and tone (here comes the choir training in me!) during the "big moment" of the song.

Dance FX did a good job. I dont think I want to go to Vegas to see a 1.5 hour dance show though.

[FIJIFan]

Terry Fador rocks. Apparently he has a 5 year contract in Vegas.

Finally, someone that won a reality talent show A. has talent and B. continued to do well.

[Limnos]

5 years 120 million Fiji.

Paul Salos coming up. I love this guy.

[FIJIFan]

Dang, this "Frank Sinatra" guy is GREAT!

[Limnos]

He has been much better with other songs but WOW..that was still pretty good.

[Bigshot628]

ok i don't watch this show, but i had it on... please tell me that Jessica Price girl just had an off week. That was average at BEST. Not impressed at all.

[FIJIFan]

ok i don't watch this show, but i had it on... please tell me that Jessica Price girl just had an off week. That was average at BEST. Not impressed at all.

It was bad. She will probably be gone.

[Limnos]

She was much better in the first two weeks. She gets so nervous and she is fighting some powerful ghosts in her past with a father who left her. I hope that even if she gets voted off that someone tells her that she is not defined by the actions of her father.

[wantsBU2win]

exactly Limnos! I thought it was a cute song and she did well. She's had better performances though. I think she is timid and shy because of what has happened to her and I hope she can make it through to the next round. She's such a cute girl! :)

[Greggor25]

I missed alot of this show tonight due to conflicts in schedule. Did they finally kick off the dumb dancing Zoopersters? How did the 4 year old girl do?

[Texas Golfer]

The Zooperstars should have been gone the first night. How the judges could pass them on is disturbing.

The 4 year old is still on the show. She's as cute as any 4 year old I've ever seen and sings much better than any of them. That being said, she is not more talented than are some others that have departed.

The Wright kids are much more talented than she is. But I have to admit to enjoy watching her each week.

The Wright kids are really good. They had a pretty good transition from bluegrass to pop.

[wantsBU2win]

the Wright kids were vastly improved from last week. The four year old girl is just adorable, but I'm not sure she can win it.

[FIJIFan]

I for one dont think that 4 year olds should be allowed on this show. They are too young to REALLY understand what is going on, and IF they do win and go to Vegas you have to deal with the parents in the contract, got getting the $$ until you are 18, and then you have just another Mary Kate/Ashley Olsen situation on your hands.

I want Donald Braswell to win.

[Bigshot628]

ok, i don't know what happened to her, but if it's effecting her performance she needs to be off the show.

I agree that the 4 year is extremely cute and I enjoy watching her but she is not the most talented nor marketable of the group.

I, too, want Donald Braswell to win. Not only is he a great singer but his story is what movies and books are made of.

[Bexar Fan]

I'm rootin' for The Queen!

[FIJIFan]

I'm rootin' for The Queen!

I thought they got rid of all the drag queens! :w00t:

[MrGolfguy]

i like the big guy that is an insurance salesman, Neal Boyd. That dude can sing, i hope he wins.

[Bexar Fan]

I thought they got rid of all the drag queens! :w00t:
:lol: Not the queen in drag. Queen Emily.

[Texas Golfer]

I'm rootin' for The Queen!

We know you do.

[Bexar Fan]

Where's the hammer smilie......?

[FIJIFan]

If you are gonna sing Phantom get the dang words right!!!!!

[Limnos]

Braswell did a classic version Fiji. I thought he did wonderfully!

Elvis guy was much better.

Terry Fator was great in his return.

This vote is going to be tough tonight.

[FIJIFan]

Braswell did a great job singing, yes. He is my favorite.
He combined the first and second verses of the song, but switched words in the middle of each stanza.
Myself, BaylorBabe, and OsoSpectacular could sing each and every word of Phantom, from beginning to end, and get it 100% right. He didnt sing the right words.

Terry is AWESOME! I want to go to Vegas just to see his show!

Elvis guy did a good job...he would do well in vegas!

The family from Connecticut, although I should be partial since I am from there, did a horrendus (sp) job. Their mouths were so spread out the vowels were HORRIBLE, which in turn messed up their pitch and tone.

Sarah Lenore had a bad song choice, which is unfortunate because that can kill her.

The dancing teacher group, although good, could not pull off a 1.5 hour Vegas show. That should be a qualification to get on...do you have the stamina to take your act to Vegas?

Did I miss any other acts (up to this point?)

[FIJIFan]

WOW. Nuttin But Stringz are AMAZING.

I have heard about them, but this was the first time I saw them. Pretty spectacular.

[Limnos]

Those guys are good.

[FIJIFan]

Wow...this little girl kinda sounds like Angela Lansbury!

[Limnos]

I love little Katelyn. What a cutie! She may not go through but I just love her to death. A 4 year old girl has warmed the heart of America and Piers can suck it.

I think she is a darling.

[Limnos]

Eli Mattson is about as good as it gets. He gets some serious manlove here.

[wantsBU2win]

I agree about the last part....do these acts have the ability to do an 1.5 hour show in Vegas?

Sarah did choose a poor song.....I hope it doesn't kill her. She has talent!

WOW. Nuttin But Stringz are AMAZING.

I have heard about them, but this was the first time I saw them. Pretty spectacular.

They were good.

Eli Mattson is about as good as it gets. He gets some serious manlove here.

I 100% agree with you. Wow....and that was a great song he chose as well.

[FIJIFan]

Eli was fantastic.

I dont know about this baton guy...pretty cool set with the pinball machines...but again...1.5 hours in vegas? I dont think so!

[Limnos]

Eli was fantastic.

I dont know about this baton guy...pretty cool set with the pinball machines...but again...1.5 hours in vegas? I dont think so!

That's the only thing wrong with that young man. He is fantastic and very talented but he is not a headliner. But he may be the best in the world at handling the baton. He's really good.

[LIQRinPU]

Yes but end the end he is a twirler.

Eli can sing.

The 4 year old is irritating. My brothers used to force their kids to perform every Christmas. I usually excuse myself. I got enough of that with my own kids.

Like the fiddle players. Talent and energy.

Liked the Elvis.

[Texas Golfer]

The talent level this season is high.

[MrGolfguy]

Anybody else think the Elvis guy looks like Daniel Sepulveda?

[Texas Golfer]

Anybody else think the Elvis guy looks like Daniel Sepulveda?

I don't know. Put a Baylor helmet on him and I'll let you know.

[Bexar Fan]

I see a resemblance but "Elvis" is way too skinny.

Sarah is actually my new girlfriend. She did choose a bad song to perform. Elvis looked very strong. The string guys are totally awesome man. The 4 year old girl is good and cute but will be gone this week.

[Limnos]

The Top 10 are set.

The Wright Kids, Queen Emily, Neal E. Boyd, Paul Salos, Jessica Price, Kaitlyn Maher, Donald Braswell, Nuttin' But Stringz, Eli Mattson, and Joseph Hall

[wantsBU2win]

the Wright Kids and Kaitlyn Maher should go, and probably will in the next round.

[Texas Golfer]

The Top 10 are set.

The Wright Kids, Queen Emily, Neal E. Boyd, Paul Salos, Jessica Price, Kaitlyn Maher, Donald Braswell, Nuttin' But Stringz, Eli Mattson, and Joseph Hall

I think they got it right. As cute as Kaitlyn is, she should be gone in the next round. If sustaining an hour and a half show as a headliner in Vegas is the criteria, Kaitlyn won't be able to do that.

[Limnos]

A good businessman would get the 9 runner ups and have a show in Branson called Americas Got Talent. It would be a smash success.

That's a great idea! I'm a good businessman. Maybe I'll look into that.

[Bigshot628]

this show is mind numbing. I wouldn't pay to see any of these acts in Vegas.

[Limnos]

More seats for those of us who enjoy great talent.



Tonights show was spectacular. It is going to be very difficult to get down to 5 for tomorrows show. I think the candidates for ouster are the Wright Kids, sweet little Kaitlyn Maher, Paul Salos (Sinatra guy was good but not as good as the other singers), maybe the Elvis guy, and I have no idea who else. All of these did very well but didn't measure up to the following 6 imho.

The remaining six were really good. I rank them as follows:
1. Eli Mattson
2. Neil Boyd
3. Jessica Price
4. Nuttin' but Strings (These guys are so freaking cool)
5. Donald Braswell
6. Queen Emily

this is a cool show.....I'd go to Vegas to see most of these acts.

My Top 5 plus one.....my ranking as follows:

1. Eli Mattson
2. Nuttin' But Strings
3. Jessica Price
4. Queen Emily
5. Neil Boyd
6. Donald Braswell

I think Neil does a better job than Donald, just my opinion.

And I echo what Piers said "vote for the talent." I voted online and by phone and split my votes amoung my top three.

[Missile]

That's a great idea! I'm a good businessman. Maybe I'll look into that.
Use the opening act "Missile Drinks A Few Beers While Bexar Destroys A Health Camp Superburger" and you're all set!

[Bigshot628]

have yall been to Vegas? The talent is already there. Still wouldn't pay to see any of these acts... won't even watch them for free on television

[Bexar Fan]

Use the opening act "Missile Drinks A Few Beers While Bexar Destroys A Health Camp Superburger" and you're all set!
Where do I sign? Love me some Health Camp! Missile tells great jokes. I'm a good straight man. How can we miss?!?

Here is how I'd rank the top 5 performances last night:

1. Nuttin' But Strings
2. Eli Mattson
3. Neil Boyd
4. Queen Emily
5. Donald Braswell

[FIJIFan]

I would rank mine...but my DVR decided it didnt want to record last night. GRRRRRR.

I did get texts from a friend of mine watching saying that the 4 year old accidently flipped off the viewing audience when she tried to show "2" to the camera with her hand.

tragic! Well, watch the results show tonight.

[FIJIFan]

Man...from the recaps it looks like I missed a great show!

And the results are: (so far...)
Nuttin but Stringz (over The Wright Kids)
Queen Emily (over Elvis)
Neil E Boyd (over Katlin Mayer)
Donald Braswell (over Paul Salos)--that was a heck of a matchup!

[Limnos]

I fear that Queen Emily moving on spells doom for my man Donald Braswell. I really liked Paul Salos but he has probably met the end. What a great story he is though.

If Eli Mattson, Neil Boyd and Jessica Price don't move into the final 5 it will be criminal.

[Limnos]

Sweet Kaitlyn is gone. I think I loved her the most during the show but Neil Boyd should have won there.

[Limnos]

Oh Holy cow!

Braswell vs Salos????

Braswell WINS!

[FIJIFan]

And the results are: (so far...)
Nuttin but Stringz (over The Wright Kids)
Queen Emily (over Elvis)
Neil E Boyd (over Katlin Mayer)
Donald Braswell (over Paul Salos)--that was a heck of a matchup!

Who's the last one gonna be? Eli?

[Limnos]

Mattson vs Price is freaking awful. Oh man.

Both of these talents should have made it. I hate that a call in vote was the deciding factor.

I love Price's story, but Eli deserves to move on imho.

[FIJIFan]

Who's the last one gonna be? Eli?

And the final act to go on is:
Eli! (over Jessica)

[Limnos]

Tonights show was spectacular. It is going to be very difficult to get down to 5 for tomorrows show. I think the candidates for ouster are the Wright Kids, sweet little Kaitlyn Maher, Paul Salos (Sinatra guy was good but not as good as the other singers), maybe the Elvis guy, and I have no idea who else.

2. Neil Boyd
3. Jessica Price
4. Nuttin' but Strings (These guys are so freaking cool)
5. Donald Braswell
6. Queen Emily

Well, I got all four right that I thought would be eliminated. Queen Emily vs. Jessica Price threw a wrench in my final guess, but I didn't do so bad. Price not making it sucks.

[FIJIFan]

here is my prediction--Nuttin but Stringz v. Eli in the final...Nuttin But Stringz wins it all.

[Bexar Fan]

1. Nuttin' But Strings
2. Eli Mattson
3. Neil Boyd
4. Queen Emily
5. Donald Braswell

Five for five!! :D

[Limnos]

here is my prediction--Nuttin but Stringz v. Eli in the final...Nuttin But Stringz wins it all.

Because America votes on it, anything can happen. I think a singer wins this year.

[wantsBU2win]

1. Eli Mattson
2. Nuttin' But Strings
3. Jessica Price
4. Queen Emily
5. Neil Boyd
6. Donald Braswell


Braswell was my wild card...I put Price in my top 5 because I'm love with her.

Sweet Kaitlyn is gone. I think I loved her the most during the show but Neil Boyd should have won there.

she is the cutest four year old girl! My goodness, what a cutie-pie.

Mattson vs Price is freaking awful. Oh man.

Both of these talents should have made it. I hate that a call in vote was the deciding factor.

I love Price's story, but Eli deserves to move on imho.

I agree....I was stunned and torn when these two were put up against each other. I voted for both of them. I agree that Eli deserved to move on though

here is my prediction--Nuttin but Stringz v. Eli in the final...Nuttin But Stringz wins it all.

I can't make this prediction yet....all five are good.

[Texas Golfer]

Five for five!! :D

I went 5 for 5, too, although I am disappointed that Jessica left after her best performance of the season.

[wantsBU2win]

She's a very sweet girl. I wish her the best.

[FIJIFan]

She's a very sweet girl. I wish her the best.

she is the cutest four year old girl! My goodness, what a cutie-pie.


You can go ahead and change your screen name to Jerry Springer now...you are sounding WAY too much like him!

[wantsBU2win]

I actually like Jerry Springer as the host. Of course, I liked his "talk show" too.

[LIQRinPU]

I thought his talk show was great. His guests made my life look more normal.

[wantsBU2win]

I liked it because they found enough people willing to act like that on TV

[Texas Golfer]

I thought his talk show was great. His guests made my life look more normal.

Compared to his guests, I felt like royalty.

[Limnos]

Neal Boyd just won in my opinion. He put tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my goosebumps. I have heard Luciano Pavoratti sing that and make it famous and I swear Neal Boyd was as good if not better.

That was so unbelievable that I cannot express it in words. Good Lord that was beautiful.

[Limnos]

So far I rank the talent as follows:

1. Neal Boyd

(large intentional gap here)

2. Eli Mattson
3. Nuttin' but Strings
4. Donald Braswell (my favorite but he isn't going to win)
5. Queen Emily

[wantsBU2win]

Limnos, Neal sang that song and it was great! However, our rankings disagree:

1. Nuttin' But Stringz
2. Eli Mattson
3. Neal Boyd
4. Queen Emily
5. Donald Braswell.

I really think any of the top three from our list will/should win. I was just completely blown over by NBS.....I'd pay a lot of money to watch that. It was good!

[Bexar Fan]

Sorry folks. I know you were just chomping at the bit to hear my review, but I was visiting a young lady in Austin.

[Texas Golfer]

As good as NBS is, I can't see them sustaining a 90 minute show in Vegas. I associate their talents along with some of the great guitar pickers of the past, i.e, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, etc. As much as I enjoyed their ability to bend those strings, they couldn't sustain a 90 minute show without adding their vocal talents and humor into their shows.

Personally, I like Donald Braswell or Eli Mattson. They seem to be the most unique of the singers. I think Neil Boyd would do better on Broadway than he would in Las Vegas. Queen Emily is awesome but reminds me of many other singers of like talents.

[wantsBU2win]

I think Eli Mattson is the wild card. I think he could do a show in Vegas.

[FIJIFan]

Wants, i have to change your order just a little:

1. NBS
2. Eli
3. Donald
4. Neil
5. Queen

I REALLY want Eli to win, but I think that the people who will be voting will be going for the "unique" factor. I can see NBS having a 90 min show...they had a lot of props last night to show they can do it.

Braswell needs to get his butt to Broadway, and Neil needs to get to the Houston or Des Moines Opera circuits. Queen Emily, well, I like her, and I bet she could get a gig at a big gospel church as one of the soloists for the Sunday services.

[wantsBU2win]

at least our top two agree! :lol:

I like Eli a lot and I think he could win as he sings with emotion and heart. What a great guy and I think if he doesn't win, he'll land on his feet somewhere.

[FIJIFan]

I like Eli a lot and I think he could win as he sings with emotion and heart. What a great guy and I think if he doesn't win, he'll land on his feet somewhere.

I have heard that Elton John has taken a liking to Eli...so no matter what happens all Elton has to do is make a phone call or 2 and Eli will get a contract!

[Texas Golfer]

I think Eli Mattson is the wild card. I think he could do a show in Vegas.

Easily.

[Limnos]

I have heard that Elton John has taken a liking to Eli...so no matter what happens all Elton has to do is make a phone call or 2 and Eli will get a contract!

Sharon said this in an interview recently. I think it is great sicne Eli has such an Elton John influence in his music. If Elton says so, he will be a star.

[Limnos]

Great opening on the final tonight. All of the top ten joined in to sing a "Moment like this".

Wonderful opening. I wish that I could sign all the top 10 to a show in Branson. I'd be a millionaire overnight.

Little Lim ain't so bad either, but that little girl just tugs on my heart strings.

First elimination coming up.

[Limnos]

I got that one right.

Queen Emily is eliminated to fifth place. So far my ranks are true.

I'm still batting a thousand.


Braswell out at fourth place.


Shocker....Nuttin' but strings out in third place. Believe it or not I got that one right too.

I predicted Boyd as the winner, but I voted 30 times for Eli Mattson.

I was batting 1.000 but now I'm down to .667. I predicted Queen Emily would go first followed by Donald Braswell. But I have to admit not thinking NBS would go third.

I think Neil E. Boyd will go next making Eli Mattson the winner.

[Limnos]

WINNER IS NEIL BOYD!!!!!!!!!


5 for 5!!!!!!!

I look forward to hearing from him and from Eli in the future. Both will do very well.
