Mia learned the hard way tonight that it’s never a good thing to talk back to a judge…..

I liked Barbara Padilla better than other acts. BTW – I don’t like Bocelli, at all, I find him boring. His voice is thin, and he is not expressive. Barbara Padilla’s voice is a lot more powerful, IMHO, it’s a real operatic voice. I wish she got to sing an aria rather than this song. But, I’d bet it was the producers’ choice. Sure, there are better singers in real opera, but as none of them would ever consider coming on AGT, it’s a mute point. She sure is better than most pop-era singers and better than other “opera” singers who appeared in AGT/BGT with the only possible exception being Donald Braswell (who I heard wasn’t allowed to sing opera arias on this show so as not to compete with Neal). She gets my vote for the night.

I found bollywood group fun.

I thought ballroom kids did a good job, but I agree with StevieCat about their choice of dance and lack of grace and passion. I am not sure if they would have stood out against some kids we saw on DWTS.

Liked EriAm sisters, but I prefer Barbara’s singing (just my taste in music).

Why on earth did they allowed this freak eating glass/burning his a** through and eliminated some of the better acts? I thought the comment of one of the judges about hoping he’d set himself on fire priceless.

OMG, I burst out laughing!!!

Ok, so I think you’re right. The dancing made them a bit breathless. They can always add that after they’ve moved on to the next level. In retrospect, that was taking a chance last night.

Oh, you being easy has been around already.

I am hard to please. I guess that’s what living in Las Vegas did to me. I’m ok with some dancing. Just not over the top where the dancing is a huge part of the act. They are good enough that they could sing and prance around the stage I think.

Well, if they are going to be performing in concert, which I’m sure is their ultimate goal/wish, they are going to have to do a little dancing. I don’t see them standing at 3 microphones like the Supremes used to do in the 60′s. Maybe I’m a bit easier to please, or else……maybe it’s you who’s hard to please. LOL JUST KIDDING!!!! Don’t let it get around that I’m easy!!!!

Sadly I thought the girls performance wasn’t all that great either. They should have focused more on the girl’s singing and less dancing/moving/other crap. However, I think they’ll make it through and deservedly so.

They clearly saved the best for last. I’m glad that had Barbara Padilla on at the way beginning of the show so she couldn’t erroneously outshine the girls. It gave them their true shot at a place in the semi finals. If they don’t go through, then the voting is fixed.

I totally disagree with the judges about Barbara Padilla. Maybe I just love Andrea Bocelli too much, but I didn’t like Barbara’s performance at all. I was wrong about the order, but that’s ok. Saved my EriAm sisters for the end;-)

I was a little disappointed by the show. I’d hoped for more. I’ll do a full writeup when I have time.

As you probably already know by now, Barbara Padilla was at the very top of the show and of course they not only loved her but judged every act following her by her performance, in other words they set the bar by her.

Recycled Percussion were good but I wasn’t enthralled. Then when the judges went nuts about them, I backed it up and replayed it and then agreed with their comments if only for the energy and precision alone! Very good performance last night afterall I guess!

I thought the tapper/singer act didn’t quite cut it, they appeared a bit amateurish and there was certainly piece to the puzzle missing last night although you couldn’t quite put your finger on what.

I didn’t think the baby ballroom dancers were great although the judges did. They are very technical but lack grace which will come with age and time, but it’s not there now. And to have them dance the Pasa Doble (sp?) was so wrong. That is one of the sexiest dances alive when done correctly and they are just children, so it came off as a bull fight dance rather than what it is supposed to look like (thank God!!!)

I thought Mia failed miserably. Her nerves were definitely showing and, I feel, did her in.

I agree about the lollipop girls. I STILL don’t know what the h*ll their act is supposed to be.

Never saw Drew Stevyns before….not a great singer but really great “eye candy”. Ahem….I digress…

I thought that the EriAm sisters TOOK THE NIGHT. Fabulous fabulous fabulous. I was thinking Destiny’s Child and then the judges were saying the same thing.

I don’t care enough about the remaining acts to add a comment, so I guess I’m done!!! Wait, the dog act, I think this act was better than the one they let through a few weeks ago, so the singer back then should have been put through instead.

ok, I’m done now.
