   Hey thanks for that shout-out on that post a few days ago. I just watched the show last night so I’d been avoiding this site so as not to see spoilers.

   Anyway none of the performances on Tuesday blew me away, but my faves were Nathaniel and the air guitar band. I figured after the judges’ reactions that Future Funk and Fighting Gravity would be locks for the next round (though I don’t really like either act at all) so I was hoping the last two spots would go to Nathaniel or the air guitar group. But after the sisters got through I re-watched their performances and thought it was better the second time around, so I’m fine with them getting through as well.

   I was also happily surprised that Future Funk didn’t get in the top three (which means I’m not the only one who thinks they can’t actually dance) and that RNG made the top five (I agreed the act wasn’t super exciting but I liked them in Vegas and their auditions). I knew the judges would pick Future Funk though so that was kind of anti-climactic.

   Woot!! I love it when the polls predict the outcome. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

   I think people are going to come around on Christina and Ali. However, I bet they don’t win the competition either. Just making the finals will be enough for me. One of the boy singers will likely win. Just not sure which yet.

   I liked RNG as well. I’d rather have them on their than Future Funk. They have more talent than those boys. However, the older one can definitely dance. Did you see his b-boy skills on the top of the piano? It’s not completely matured, but it’s a stretch to say he can’t dance.

   The little boys were certainly going to make it, but I too am glad they weren’t number one in the voting because then we’d know it was all about their cuteness and then how can anyone compete with that?

   The only act I cared about making it through were the blondie sisters because I fell in love with them from day one. So I’m satisfied. I’m also very glad that the air guitar band and “whistlers mother” didn’t make it through (Sorry Melissa….don’t pay me any mind….I also loved Kevin Spinner, so there’s no accounting for my tastes!! LOL!!!)

   Hey, what in the world was Dee Snyder wearing?? AND, I also thought that Constantine Maroulis was way over the top last night with his guy liner and new perm and over singing every note. The more tidbits I see from that play, the less I want to actually see it.

   Haha no worries StevieCat. I did like Constantine on his second song though (maybe just because I love that song). I seem to be in the minority on the air guitar band. I wasn’t a huge fan of theirs going in but they were the most entertaining in my eyes last night since no one blew me away.

   I actually liked the whistler going in as well but the act got old pretty fast. The best part was the joking afterwards about her doing that song better than Mariah did.

   The sisters I thought were only okay at first but they are starting to grow on me. I think the winner will be either Michael (the singer who is basically a better version of Lee), Alice the subway singer, or perhaps Fighting Gravity.

   I believe I will be violently ill if yet another singer wins. Let’s go over the last four winners:

   Bianca Ryan – Vocalist – Undeserved in my opinion
   Terry Fator – Ventriloquist whose act is primarily based around singing – Very deserved.
   Neil E. Boyd – Opera singer – Also deserved.
   Kevin Skinner – Vocalist – Sort of deserved, but it should have been Recycled Percussion.

   It SHOULD be time for a change, and hopefully America will agree and give the ultimate vote to Fighting Gravity.

   To contrast, let’s see a couple of winners from other ____’s Got Talent competitions:

   Now, one could argue that Britain has a thing for dancers, but I say they’re clever enough to realize that there’s already a big singing competition and put their votes toward something else. “But,” you may ask, “Why use the blank if you’re only going to be showing Britain’s winners?” First of all, you’re impatient. Secondly, because of HOLY CRAP THE UKRAINE:

   Tell me her performances aren’t moving and that she still wouldn’t have a chance on an American talent competition.

   R.J. Yep. That is an ugly trend. Plus, Ukraine’s Got Talent is awesome and that girl is absolutely INSANE. Thanks for reminding me about it.

   I hope that Simon’s plans come through and we get a World’s Got Talent: http://www.pureamericasgottalent.com/2010/07/16/worlds-got-talent-being-planned-by-simon-cowell/
