Queen Emily
The piano player
Nuttin but strings
Donald Brasswell
The young man that sings opera

Neal E. Boyd is the opera singer. Eli Mattison? is the piano player. I'm really hoping that Neal gets it. He is a magnificent singer. I'm not a big opera fan but his singing gives me goosebumps.

This has been my favorite diversion this summer. I loved Neal E. Boyd from the first note, Donald Braswell gives me chills, Queen Emily had me going online to get that song out of my head "Chain, Chain, Chain!" And everything she has sung since then, too. I think they all have wonderful talent. My very favorite was Kaitlyn, from "America". No way she could win the big title and go to Las Vegas, but she sure is adorable.

I have not paid much attention to the piano player, but I can imagine going to see him in a show, and the Nuttin but Strings guys could really pack a house. They're great.

I love this show!! It's SO much better than the Idol shows.
I'm torn betwee, Eli (amazing piano player and singer) and Donald Brasswell. They're all good though.
Last year, I was hooked right off the bat on Terry Fader, who's now in Vegas, earning $100 million!!! He's absolutely incredible.

I was going to ask those that live in Nevada if they've ever been to Vegas to see him. Anyone??

I was happy with the finalists. I really like Neal and Donald Neal is like the British winner of their last contest.
the two fellows who play the violin are great too. My onlin TV Guide had thm down for being on at 7:30 last nigh and I almost missed it I turned it on just as Donald was picked so got to see the five who won anyway,

Last year, I fell in love with Terry Fater the first time I saw him. He's the best!!

This year, my favorites from the beginning were Donald Braswell and Neal E. Boyd. I was devastated when the judges eliminated Braswell before the semi-finals...and then was delighted when the viewers' votes brought him back. I will be happy if either Donald or Neal wins. No matter who wins, they will all be winners--surely they will get contracts.

I thought the choice of the last 5 was perfect.

To hold a large audience I think Nuttin but Strings could do it. I would like to hear them play some "regular" music sometime though.

Neal is great; I just wish he would smile.

Donald is super, as are the others.

As far as Kaitlyn, she is precious, as are many 4 year olds who can perform as well as she. Remember the little "Cuppycake" girl? I really don't think they should let those little ones even try out, unless it would be a special category just for that age group.

Sue, I agree with you. They should have a talent show for the children again. They did it one year. I don't think the children should be put in the show with the adults either. Kaitlyn was adorable and so brave to go on stage and sing in front of everyone, but she didn't really belong in that competition.

I agree also that the America's Got Talent show is far better than any of the Idol shows.

To hold a large audience I think Nuttin but Strings could do it. I would like to hear them play some "regular" music sometime though.

Maybe i've been listening to too many violin players over the years but I think these two, although good, play very basic violin.

Certainly not "Bond"

Kaitlyn from America was absolutely adorable. I bet she probably has an Agent by now.

Gayle

I love the finalist except for Mattson. He's ok but we don't need another Elton John.

I think Nothin but Stringz would be the one I'd be most likely to pay to see.

Donald and Neal would be great in Musical Theater.

Queen Emily rocks.

Linda

I am happy that adorable Kaitlin was eliminated. When I see what happened to Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, I cannot understand why parents would subject their children to this kind of pressure and publicity.

Margad let's add Dakota Fanning to that list her new movie has her being raped in it.

Is that right about Dakota Fanning's new movie????? That's horrible...

I loved her in I am Sam, and of course with the dog...

That's dispicable that the producers and directors would want to shoot a film portraying a 9-year old this way. AND that her parents allowed her to do it. The newswriter is right.....she should be outside playing with her friends and skipping rope (do kids still do that these days?).

Kids just grow up way too fast. Celeb kids are in danger of being irresponsible adults. The money and the spotlight is way too much for them.
