I can't even watch it anymore I don't like the way they divide up into groups and other things

Actually I think only a couple SHOULD have gotten through.

Sue

I was really disappointed in some of the people that got through too. The only thing I can hope for is that they needed to be able to eliminate some people quickly.

I was dissapointed too.On a couple all my family said "NO WAY" all at the same time!LOL.I don't watch it much but DDIL was watching and I kinda had no choice.

Jasdip, I'll bet we're in agreement about the woman that shouldn't have gone through. I'm not happy about one of the guys either.

Also, there was one that I really wanted to see again who was left behind.

I think we're all in agreement about that woman. It's Howie Mandel's insanity that put her through. I'm just amazed that Piers and Sharon went along with him on it.

And there's one guy in particular who didn't get through that just tears my heart out. I could watch his original audition over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. And still watch it some more.

I may have missed the one decision. The opera fellow from Costa Rica...please tell me he got through!

Jasdip, are you talking about Carlos, the little guy who sang opera last week? I thpught he was from Puerto Rico. PLEASE tell me he got through!

Ellen

Yes, I'm talking about him Ellen. He had to have gotten through!

Last year when they ditched all the people at the airport hanger, I swore I wouldn't watch again. (Have watched AGT since the first year it aired.) I hated that they got everyone's hopes up and then sent them right home like that.

But I still like the show. Terry Fader is my all-time favourite guy!! (Hugely popular ventreloquist (sp) who's in Vegas.

I hate to tell you but they said "no" to Carlos if I heard correctly. The other two that were dressed up in stupid costumes made it.

I had front row centre seats in Las Vegas to see Terry Fator. Great show!

Carlos....the opera singer got through!!!!! YES HE DID! I was loving him also....:0) He just gave a little smile, said in that little dork voice....ok...cutie pie!

The hand whistler got through and the singing lady with too much makeup and the keyboard got through.....not exactly a Las Vegas show. I'd rather the military guy.....magician, got through.....he was cool!

That awful lady with the flaming red beehive who sings out of tune, and bangs the keyboard is the one I was talking about.
I couldn't believe it!
I too liked the military magician, but didn't at all see the humour in the "magician" who showed how the tricks were done, in a supposedly comical way. He got through.

Please tell me that the boy that does the indoor kite flying made it. That was so peaceful and wonderful.

The kite boy did not make it.

I didn't think Carlos made it either.

Jodi-

I googled Carlos Aponte. He is already too famous in Puerto Rico and IS GOING HOME.....I guess I didn't understand....? I thought he was good to go.....?

Carlos....the opera singer got through.

No, Carlos did not get through. Neither did the kite flyer.

The crazed woman who sang for 10 stinking minutes, all of it off key, got through. Someone is smokin' something.

Sigh - - - so this has become just another of those inappropriately-tagged "Reality" shows. NOT. It's all about creating a buzz so that people talk about it and continue to tune in. Nothing "real" about it.

Sad - we continue to be duped.

"The crazed woman who sang for 10 stinking minutes." That was singing? I think she was an insult to the other contestants.

Carlos was my favorite of all. Sad about the kite boy, but the winner has to be able to do an hour show I think, and he just wouldn't be able to do that. I hope he understands why he didn't go through.

About the young girl and boy dancers. Were they on last year, or some other talent show? They look like the same couple.

Watching the show makes you wonder about how some people believe they have talent, doesn't it?

Amusing, though.

I loved Carlos' singing. As I posted before, without putting in his name, I could listen to his audition over and over and over and over and over and over (etc., etc., etc.) again. His voice, his emotion, are awesome.

The reason he didn't make it through is because the judges -- mainly Howie Mandell -- weren't "wowed" by him in Las Vegas. We heard Howie say right after Carlos sang, that he was "wowed" at the audition by not by the performance Carlos just gave. At the end of the show, when the three judges were going over the acts deciding who should go home and who should be put through to Hollywood, I knew when they came to Carlos' photo, because Howie again said how he'd been so "wowed" at the audition but not [tonight]. Sharon and Piers tried to argue with him about it, but Howie was adamant. And he also got his way with that idiot woman. I think I've lost all respect for Howie...

The criteria that I kept going to when judging some of those acts in my own mind was "how would this be for a headline show that lasts at least an hour and a half to two hours?" Carlos I could listen to for days on end. That woman? Not at all. The harmonica player? Maybe 10 minutes. The little kid rapper? Maybe 5 minutes.

Sheesh.

The way I see it they put through some of the not so good ones so they have someone to weed out in Hollywood thereby keeping the ones in they really want.

Anne

Anne, that's exactly what I said to my husband tonight! How else can anyone explain how the guy that does "impressions" and "acting" got through? (Not to mention that awful red-headed woman!)

I'm enjoying watching immensley! I don't like a lot of the acts getting through tho. I understand that they are allowed so many acts in each catagory. So if no one else is in "that" catagory......he/she gets through. :0) Yuck....huh! lindsay_ca.....I agree!

I totally disagree with having a preset number of acts in each category... I mean, geez.... take the two harmonica players. Why did they even put one of them through? Yeah, the harmonica is not an easy instrument to play, but it's also not something that makes a headline act. Who wants to pay a bunch of $$$ to watch one guy playing the harmonica for 1.5 to 2 hours?

It's all a side show. Nothing real about it. All those wacky choices are to create some "buzz" like it's done here at the KT. No way are the ones who went straight to Hollywood without being on this week the "Judge's Favorites." They just had a certain amount of time to air....

I'm such a skeptic, I guess.

They are just stretching it out to make a show. Some of those people were horrible!
