There are only 2 of top ten I would pay to see – Donald and Eli. I’m pulling for Donald to win because I think he has a phenomenal voice – AND not bad to look at either! Good luck to all of them. It must be tough to perform on that stage & then have to face some unreasonable comments from the judges. I agree that Kaitlyn is way too young & should not be there. That goes for some of the other kids as well.

When watching shows like this, I always ask myself for each act “would I pay money to see this?” Because ultimately that will be their measure of success – who will pay money to see a show/buy albums/etc.

And the only acts I would shell out cash for would be Eli Mattson or Nuttin’ But Stringz. Maybe Paul Salos.

And I most certainly would NOT pay money to hear a 4-year-old who can sing songs ALMOST as well as an average adult. I have an ear for music, and regardless of age, it makes me CRINGE when anyone hits a wrong note or goes off-key (and anybody who says Kaitlyn doesn’t is either delusional or deaf).

I think Donald Braswell should win the show and go to Vegas he has a lot of talent and a very good voice . I would go and see him there. for Little Kaitlyn her time is up now I know she has a cd out but she should wait for a while.

Can you imagine reading all of these comments if you’re Kaitlyn at 20 years old? She’ll have some really interesting memories of the experience. Well, actually she might not remember it at all, but at least she has our nice commentary of the situation.

I agree also that Kaitlyn shows talent for her age, BUT still it doesn’t measure up to those who have put more time and effort into refining their skills. Come on now, Kaitlyn has only been practicing for 1 year tops (she is 3). Some of these people have been studying for 10+ years which is more than triple her own age. I think Tango is forgetting one important thing…. Are people going to pay $100 a ticket in Vegas to watch a 3 year old sing compared to all the other shows in Vegas!! I don’t think so…. As everyone else stated she needs to go home, and and give it another try later in life.

Kaitlyn definitely couldn’t hold her own in Las Vegas. I can’t imagine to pay to see her anywhere. If I want to hear a 4 year old sing I wouldn’t have to pay anything.

I agree that she’s an above average 4 year old that has done amazingly well at memorizing the songs and going on stage without any problem. However, that’s a pretty low bar when you’re comparing talent.

As far as Paul Salos, he is a great Frank Sinatra and my guess is he’ll be in Las Vegas whether he wins or not.

The baton boy was great, but I agree with Piers that I think we’ve seen all his tricks. His last performance was pretty much the same as his previous give or take a twirl.

I think Kaitlyn deserves to be in the top ten!!!! Think about it; she has to work just as hard, if not harder than all the other “TALENTS”. I think it is absolutely amazing that she can memorize her songs the way she does and stand up to the pressure of singing in front of the audience and cameras!!! Let’s just call Talent, Talent, and not worry about age!!!! Some could say that Paul Salos (Frank Sinatra) is too old, why let him go on… he’s going to need assistance on and off the stage in a few years, blah blah blah. If Kaitlyn’s parents or someone else had to be on the stage holding her hand or whispering words into her ear, then I would agree. BUT, this little girl has worked just as hard as anyone, and she deserves as much a chance as anyone else up there!!!!! I don’t know if she has what it takes to make it all the way… but she has made it this far, and so I say “Hurray Kaitlyn, Good Luck in all you Pursue!!!” )

I agree with MLG. I love Kaitlyn, but I’m worried for her well-being. During her last performance, she looked terrified! I’m totally pissed that “Baton Boy” got sent home! Sure, the Elvis guy is cute, but does Vegas *really* need another Elvis!?

How could america vote for a 4yr old who really can’t sing when there was Jonathan Burkin who has real talent. What a farce. There is something wrong with this picture and I really think that the judges should have picked the top ten because apparently america sucks at it.
