America’s Got Talent Top 5 Prediction

Much liked we posted the Pure America’s Got Talent Top 10 prediction, here’s the Pure America’s Got Talent Top 5 prediction. The following prediction comes from 2621 votes recorded on our America’s Got Talent Top 10 poll.

Predicted America’s Got Talent Top 5:
Donald Braswell received 1215 votes
Eli Mattson received 547 votes
Nuttin’ But Stringz received 237 votes
Neal Boyd received 177 votes
Kaitlyn Maher received 162 votes

America’s Got Talent Top 10 not making the AGT Top 5:
Jessica Price received 106 votes
Queen Emily received 84 votes
Joseph Hall received 45 votes
The Wright Kids received 29 votes
Paul Salos received 19 votes

In full disclosure, this is not a scientific poll by any means. This is definitely swayed by the type of traffic that is sent to Pure America’s Got Talent. For example, someone who finds this site searching for Nuttin’ But Stringz is probably more likely to vote for them. However, you could also argue that the more people searching google for Eli Mattson the more likely he is to win America’s Got Talent since after all America’s Got Talent is in large part a popularity contest.

Also, I should note that the comments on this blog have been smothered by fans of Donald Braswell. I think you can see that reflected in the voting results above. All of that said, I think Donald Braswell should make it into the Top 5 even if this poll is a little swayed.

I should also comment on a very personal note that it’s very sad for me to post that Jessica Price is predicted to be in the bottom 5. I’m normally very happy when my website predicts the results of a reality TV show. This might be one of the first times I hope that the predictions above are wrong.

Check out the videos from last night’s America’s Got Talent top 10 performances. Season 3 has been quite entertaining. Dominated by singers, but I still really enjoyed the entertainment value of them all.

Read my full review of America’s Got Talent top 10. Also, make sure you go and buy your tickets for America’s Got Talent Las Vegas Winner’s show.

Las Vegas Performance of America’s Got Talent Winner – MGM Garden Arena

UPDATE: Neal Boyd wins America’s Got Talent, but it was announced that Terry Fator and all of the AGT Top 5 will be performing at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with Neal.

Tonight Jerry Springer announced that the winner of America’s Got Talent season 4 will be headlining in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Being from Las Vegas, that’s a great venue and a very large venue at that. Here’s a link where you can purchase America’s Got Talent Season 3 Winner show tickets.

America’s Got Talent promises to have some surprise guest appearances. Wonder who that could be. Here’s the rest of the details for the show:
America’s Got Talent – Purchase Tickets
MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas, NV
Fri, Oct 17, 2008 08:00 PM

US $39.50 – US $99.50

Onsale to General Public: Fri, 09/05/08 10:00 AM PDT

Of course, the next question is if this is just the beginning of the America’s Got Talent tour. We’ll have to wait for an announcement about that one.

America’s Got Talent Top 10 Performance Show

It looks like it’s going to take about a day before I’ll be able to post the videos from America’s Got Talent top 10 performance show. However, there’s no need for me to delay in posting my thoughts about the performances.
Best Performances of the Night
Jessica Price – I admit I’m a little biased towards Jessica, but who can argue about that performance. Beauty, grace a wonderful set and just raw talent singing on stage.
Queen Emily – Just like Gladys Knight graced the Las Vegas strip for so many years, I could see Queen Emily doing the same.
The Wright Kids – There’s a wonderful innocence about these 3 that just makes me watch and smile. Tonight was no different. I also love how at the end they totally highlighted the little one spinning the bass.

Disappointing Performances of the Night
Nuttin’ But Stringz – I normally love these guys, but when you’re competing for 1 million dollars you have to stick to your best stuff. Still better than the other performances listed below, but not up to their previous performances.
Eli Mattson – His piano work was good and singing still excellent, but it seemed like a really poor song choice. Of all the famous Elton John pieces he chose that one? I expected something a little bit more from him.
Donald Braswell – This guy always chooses good songs and I think that’s why he’s gotten this far. I’m sad to say, but the Hoff was right in the video montage. Donald doesn’t connect with the audience. I’d buy a CD, but I wouldn’t want to see him perform in a show in Las Vegas.
Neal Boyd – Another poor song choice. Sounded too high for him and didn’t showcase his vocal talent very well.

Unremarkable Performances of the Night
Joseph Hall – The crowd was more entertaining than him. Watching the crowd go wild made me laugh, but that’s about it. Unfortunately, I’m from Las Vegas and there’s too many Elvis in Las Vegas already.
Kaitlyn Maher – She finally had some movement. She sang as she walked out on stage. Piers said it all.
Paul Salos – I think I was a little distracted by Paul’s song choice since it was the same song that Indigo (sp?) had slaughtered in their audition.

Of course, these are just my observations of this performance. Not necessarily for the entire show and not necessarily who I think will be going home tomorrow. I’ll save that for another post tomorrow.

UPDATE: Someone who claims to be a friend of the family commented on another post that “Kaitlyn was very sick this week with a very bad cold and had lost her voice right up until just before the show. She was still excited about singing for everyone and did a great job even with the larygitis.”

I’m not sure that it changes my opinion of her, but she did do very well since I didn’t really notice any major difference than usual.
