My personal feeling is that Jackie should not win because she already has a career. She's singing in Carnagie Hall in December! Not very many folks, especially at the age of 10, can say that!

I agree with Lindsay. Far too young, and already a professional.
I love Michael Grimm's voice. He's going to get a record contract regardless IMO.

For show, Poppycock and Defying Gravity are the obvious choice. I didn't see Poppy, so I don't know how he did.

Piers mentioned Gravity goofing, and he saw how they did their tricks, which ruins it. But I didn't see anything.
I thought they were boring last nite.

Poppycock is just too strange for me. I love defying gravity! They are so different, love their act.

I can see Fighting Gravity as a Vegas act, while Jackie is amazing, IMHO a 10 year old does not belong in Vegas performimg. In addition, I do not believe that it would be a successful show for Poppycock, or Michael Grimm. That being said, I did not vote...did any of you?

I voted for Michael, as many times as I could. I knew from the first song he'd be my favorite. I LOVE that smoky, bluesy voice.
I replayed Defying Gravity in slow motion after Piers said that, you could see a guy in black. But we knew they were doing something to help the others, they had 4 or 5 performers, but 15 or 20 came out at the end. Seemed obvious to me. They do a heck of a job, imo.

I could not hear/understand what Poppycock said in reply to Piers. Could someone please tell me what he said?

TIA

something about piers sucking on lemons..........

After last night, I voted for Michael Grimm. Love his voice. I think Jackie will win, but, I hope she doesn't. This girl is already a winner and will go far....her life is still ahead of her at 10.

Fighting Gravity let me down a bit last night when the mistake happened. That's the kind of thing that CAN NEVER HAPPEN with an act like this. And Piers was right when he said the mistake took away some of the magic of how FG makes it work. That was a huge mistake that they could not afford. While saying that, if they don't win, but they do have a great chance, they will "be a paid act" for us to see somewhere.

I love Poppycock too, but he has been boring me with the last 2 performances. Piers was out of line voicing his opinion in that manner, but he was right. Poppycock has become too serious and his fun left a few performances ago.

Anyway, they are all winners, but if Jackie wins it all, I will be happy for her, but disappointed in the viewers for voting for a young kid who obviously is success in the making right now for a grand future.

Just my opinion.

While I think Jackie is the most talented by far, I agree that a Vegas show is not appropriate for her age. That little girl will be a star no matter what happens on AGT.

I thought Prince Poppycock was not nearly as good last night as in the past.

Fighting Gravity is very good and unique, but there was a goof last night. I'm sure they will get a lot of bookings based on the show's exposure and will do well.

Michael Grimm was perfect last night. He will probably win. But he's already a winner--he moved to Las Vegas, already does shows, and released a CD in July.

I guess it depends as to whether they are picking a Vegas act , or picking the most talented person. It would still be between Michael and Jackie. One has the great natural talent and the other has a great Vegas act.

I thought Poppycock was boring last night and as long as the judges have a buzzer, they can use it. What are they sitting there for otherwise! It was too bad that FG goofed, but they will still have a great future. They are great and fun to watch.

I hope Michael wins, I love his voice and his kind of music.

Wanda, I didn't know that about Michael Grimm!!
He's already performing?? I'll have to look for his CD!
I love his voice. Raw, soulful, raunchy. He needs to loosen up a bit, and really smile when he gets his standing ovations and cheers, but that will come.

Poppycock was boring last night for me too. I didnt vote, but if I did, I think I would vote for Michael. I love to hear Jackie sing, but like many of you, I dont think she is ready for a show in Vegas as young as she is.

Up until last night, I would have voted for Prince Poppycock. I love the way he jazzes up the Opera image. He made Opera fun for me. Last night was boring in comparison to his other performances. I don't think Piers should have buzzed him but I can understand why he did it.

I like Michael Grimm but singers are a dime a dozen. I do like the type of songs that he sings...very refreshing. I didn't know he was so far along in his career either.

Jackie's performance last night was spectacular. She sang a song we all know. I love her voice but I really am not an opera fan. I do agree she is far to young and she is already a star.

Defying Gravity is good, but we have seen this kind of act in Ontario before, actually for many years now. They just take it up to a higher level. I already knew how it was done so it wasn't really that spectacular to me. I wouldn't have put them through to the finals. If you didn't know, yes then I can see where people would be thrilled with this act. It is the type of show that I could see in Vegas but if I had to choose a show in Vegas, I would choose Poppycock hoping that he would do more spoofs and keep the fun in his Opera acts.

Was the mistake with Fighting Gravity when the light went on and the door was open? If not, I totally missed it. I think of all 4 acts, they're the most "vegas".

I think Jackie is amazing but I dont think she should win because she's already been recognized and is singing in Carnegie Hall, and she's 10. 10 year olds have no business headlining a Vegas act. Way too much pressure and responsibility for a 10 year old. She should be going to school and playing on the monkey bars.

Michael Grimm has an amazing voice and I love how humble, gentle and kind he seems. I dont want him to win, but I dont think he needs to. He'll do just fine without the title of winner over his head.

Poppycock, he's been a favorite of mine all along. I think he's fun, funny and entertaining. And he can sing. I think his performance last night was totally boring but I hope he has enough fan base to get votes and that they dont stop voting just because of last night. While his performance was boring, I think it shows his versatility.

I voted for Jackie, but I did enjoy Michael's singing.

Won't be long before we find out the results! I hope they all do well. Personally, I can't see people who go to Vegas shelling out bucks to see and hear opera. But then, one never knows.
Michael needs to be a headline act!

I kept waiting for Prince P to rescue the Princess.

Twinklenose, I think PP was waiting for his prince in shining armor to arrive. :-)

I love PP! Such a wonderful talent. So much time and money goes into his makeup, costumes and props. He's pro all the way.

I remember watching a YouTube video several years ago with a very similar act to Defying Gravity. I don't think I could sit through an entire show of that stuff.

Jackie is poised and an absolutely incredible talent but at her age should be a kid, not doing Vegas and traveling the country/world.

Michael? ehhh, just another singer.

I didn't vote for any of them but I hope PP wins.

jodi.....thanks! I enjoyed watching that!! It's a much better demonstration of "how it's done" than just seeing 22 guys dressed in black standing on stage. LOL

Piers was absolutely wrong buzzing PP last night, and I think they should not have buzzers at that stage of the contest. I think Jackie Evancho probably has this wrapped up, and rightly so. She is extremely talented. Many of the AGT winners have already had careers when they were on the show. And tho I do agree, she is not Vegas show material, she is very talented, a very rare talent.

Personally, I don't any child should be on it.
