I don't know if everyone sees a previous show before the new show, but here we do. So on last night's replay, I got to see this charming 8 yr. old girl from Amarillo; she was at the Houston auditions. She played the piano and sang Proud Mary..what fun she is..she is one happy child and made everyone laugh and smile. :) I enjoyed the postal workers also.

As I said on the other thread, my definite favorites are Poppycock, (adore him), Jackie, Fighting Gravity,Michael Grasso.. The rest of them are fabulous as well. The singers are all good but Jackie is a talent that one doesn't see in a lifetime. She is so sweet , lovely, modest and the one of the best singers I ever heard and she's 10!!!That said I also LOVE Poppycock. He is the real Vegas act. The bike act is great too but how much more can he do?. I love Michael too but remember he was wild card brought back. He will perfect his act. Wonderful talent this year.

I like Neal. I think he has a good voice. Do I think he's the next Luciano Pavarotti, Enrico Caruso, Andrea Bocelli, or Johan Botha? Nope. My vote was for Nuthin' But Stringz. Those guys were amazing and put on stellar, energetic and captivating performances...I'm sure being Juilliard trained had a bit to do with it ;o) I see Neal going the way of Ruben Studdard. I still believe Clay Aiken should have won that competition, but Ruben tugged at America's heartstrings, just as Neal did. When voting in a "talent" competition you have to get past the schmaltz. It's the talent, baby. Just MHO.

Graywings, thank you for the heads up about the show. I finally got a chance to watch it last night and you were right, it was really good. So good in fact that it caught my husbands attention and he never watches these types of shows. All of a sudden he was sitting down watching it with me. When it was done, he asked me to record the program so he can see if his favorite act wins. Oven Mits was hilarious, 13 year old gave us good bumps as well, DH was stunned, the 6 year old was just too cute for words and the japanese guy's act was captivating, couldn't take my eyes off the tv. I didn't watch the scissors thing, can't stomach that kind of stuff but I even found the last act where the guy jumped into the pool to be funny only because of the reactions from the judges and audiance. It was really fun to watch.
