Acts Sent Home on America’s Got Talent – Great Job America

Tonight’s episode of America’s Got Talent, they sent home half of the 10 performers from last night’s semi finals. In case, you missed it, you can watch the videos of these AGT semifinalists here.

Now to take a look at who was sent home and who was saying. I’m going to put my own personal rank of who I think has the best chance of winning the competition (not necessarily who I want to win since you already know I want Jessica Price to win).

Here goes…my rankings of the first 5 contestants making it to the top 20 of America’s Got Talent:
Neal Boyd – Knockout performance, great story and seems like one of us.
Jessica Price – Incredible person with a really wonderful voice. Needs to show a bit more of her personality and America will fall at her feet voting.
Extreme Dance FX – Great commitment and their leader does a great job being the spokesperson for the group and sharing their story. Maybe not the best dance group ever, but great fun to watch.
James Gang – Really failed in their performance last night, but now they’re given a second chance. Their performance is so unique it’s hard to compare them to something else.
Cadence – Not as good as blue man group and I think that will catch up with them unless they pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat.

Now some thoughts on those acts who got sent home tonight:
Elite – Very sad to see you go. I hope that Treasure Island does approach you. Only problem is that the scale of the pirate show is so big that they wouldn’t really see you. Plus, that show has gone nearly adult entertainment so I’m not sure how a little kid fits into their program.
Shimshi – Disappointing finish. I would have liked to see him do some more. Can he come back next year?
Derrick Berry as Britney Spears – Glad to see you gone, but I’ll be incredibly surprised if you don’t get either a gig in Las Vegas or being a body double for Britney Spears herself.
DC Cowboys – Glad I will probably never see this group perform again.
Ronny B – If I can just make it through the replays that include him, then we’ll be ok. Hopefully he enjoyed his time on the show, because I really didn’t.

The best part of this all is that I think America got it all dead right. The correct five are in the top 20 and the correct five were sent home. Plus, Elite and James Gang were just meant to be 5 and 6. America loved Elite more because she was cute and entertaining to watch, but James Gang had more potential for the future of the show.

Feel free to agree or disagree with me.

America’s Got Talent Semis – August 27, 2008

Tonight’s America’s Got Talent Semis wasn’t nearly as captivating as last night’s America’s Got Talent semis. However, still quite entertaining to watch and one or two that should make it quite a ways. The following acts performed on this show: Beyond Belief Dance Company, Zooperstars, Jonathan Arons, Daniel Jens, Queen Emily, Paul Salos, Wright Kids, Kazual, Slippery Kittens, and George the Giant.

Here’s the video of their semi final acts:

Look for a full evaluation of tonight’s performances in the next couple days.

A Few Jessica Price Quotes Before Tuesday’s Live Show

In a recent article about Jessica price there were some interesting quotes from Jessica.

On being away from GR and her job at medical supply company PSI: “It’s hard being away from my family. My work has been really great; they totally support what I’m doing (and) let me have as much as I want off. That’s amazing; not a lot of jobs would let you do that.”

On fans: “Oh my gosh, it’s so great. (I’m hearing) from all over the world. People are sending encouraging e-mails. Someone even started a fan club.”

On what she do with the $1 million prize:

“I would probably buy my mom a new car. She drives like a $300 car (that) breaks down all the time. I would take my brothers on a trip; they have never been on a proper vacation. I would save a lot of it, and maybe go shopping.”

All the Videos from Tonight’s America’s Got Talent – Semis

I just posted the video of Jessica Price’s semifinal performance. Then, I realized that I could post all of the videos from tonight’s America’s Got Talent in one post. Not too bad.

In the following video you’ll see the America’s Got Talent semifinal performances of:
Extreme Dance FX
James Gang
Derrick Berry as Britney Spears
Elite
Cadence
Ronny B
Jessica Price
Shimshi
Neal Boyd
DC Cowboys

Extreme Dance FX – I’m amazingly surprised by how much I liked this act. By the time the judges finished with them I was almost crying. Don’t ask me where that came from. I guess I just felt for them working so many hours to try and be successful. I hope they stick around for a while.
James Gang – I’m really surprised that this act wasn’t shown more on the previous episodes. I think that will be a major disadvantage for them. They definitely have something unique that I’d like to see more, but I’m afraid this performance isn’t probably enough.
Derrick Berry as Britney Spears – Just not my thing. Bad choice of song and I just don’t like Britney Spears so I’m completely biased.
Elite – Cute little act, but looked a little too fake for me tonight. A few cool little moves, but it looked too programed to me.
Cadence – Interesting and the water was a nice touch, but just hard to really really enjoy since I’ve seen Blue Man live and Blue Man Group is so much better of a production.
Ronny B – Complete joke of the show. The Kashif of this season and should have never made it through. For once, I agree with the Hoff.
Jessica Price – You already know she’s my favorite. You can read my other thoughts on Jessica’s semi performance in the previous post. I still love her.
Shimshi – A little slow to get to the point and he needed to explain the trick a bit more. I thought he tore the card and was going to put it back together later. It wasn’t until the end that I realized the tear was to just make sure he didn’t swap cards. If he cleared that up I wouldn’t have been as disappointed with the trick since I wanted to see the card go back together. I disagree with Piers. The card trick was fine if it had been executed correctly.
Neal Boyd – Quite the singer. Good choice of song. I wonder if all the high praise from Piers and the judges will stop people from voting for him. Wouldn’t be the first time the judges have ruined a great talent.
DC Cowboys – Not quite as much of a joke as Ronny B, but still not good. It seemed like guys trying to girls’ dance moves. Didn’t feel right. Didn’t look right. Let’s hope they’re done. I really don’t want to watch them anymore.

Jessica Price’s Semifinal Performance on America’s Got Talent

I think that Jessica Price did really well in her semi final performance on America’s Got Talent. I hate that AGT tries to make her look so old. They need to get someone knew in makeup, hair and wardrobe for the younger girls. She looked beautiful, but I just think she could have been even more attractive with something a little more her age.

Regardless, her talent (singing) was awesome and let’s hope she keeps going. Enjoy the video of Jessica Price’s semifinal performance on AGT:

Also, I thought a lot of people would be interested to know that you can find Jessica Price on myspace. She has a nice little bit about the things she likes and some of her music on the page. Here’s her description of herself (remember this is from myspace):

okay so basically what we have here is i guess im suppose to write up a lil sumthin sumthin for ya’ll. So here i go… I grew up in a small town called Freeport, MI, “represent” and i still live there today, its pretty much the smallest town ever, i just looked it up on some population thing the other day and there are 444 people. yep. I sing and lead worship at my church in Hastings MI, and also sing at the occational local fair or coffee shop but thats about it. Oh my word i just got back from Sydney Australia almost a year ago now. I lived there for a year and attended Hillsong International Leadership College. school is not for me but i did meet a lot of cool people from all over the world. Theres really not much to do for fun in Michigan besides go to movies or go tubing down the river with my little brothers and cousins, but the last time we did that, we got eaten alive by mosquitos. I love hanging out with my brothers (i have four of them) and my sister. We are all really close. So maybe you wanna know my favorite things or something? my favorite things are… the olive garden, new shoes, mint choc chip ice cream, the office, laying on the beach, flying(on a plane), ariel, red licorice, black coffee, sleeping, pulling all nighters, the buckle, forever 21, my sun roof, cup cakes, my grandma(nonnies) stories, conan obrien, fishing…. I listen to music all day long, i mostly like mariah carey, the eagles, pat benatar, heart, jewel, alanis, bonnie raiit, eva cassidy, lily allen, sneaky sound system, family force five, toby mac, blondie, scissor sisters, MUSE, timberland, mindy smith, stevie nicks, jared crump…..yep i could keep going but ill stop. oh and im pretty much obsessed with the little mermaid, if you walked into my room you would think that a little girl lived in there. if theres anything else you wanna know??? holla back youngin and Yes!! i am the girl from Americas Got Talent

So down to earth and real.
