America's Got Talent (2008)

[cath_31]

We had a thread about this show last season, so I thought we should have one this season too. I was pretty disappointed about some of the acts that got voted off last night. I REALLY wanted Jonathon (the baton twirler who did such cool stunts with the batons on fire) to stay in the competition. I am really sad to see him go. I also liked the Etreme Dance FX, dance group. It is getting really hard now because there are so many that I like. I think that my two favorite ones that are left are Nuttin' But Strings and the singer Eli Mattson. I think that the little girl Kaitlyn is cute and all, but I think she needs to go home. She wouldn't be able to have a show in Vegas, and the judges keep mentioning Vegas and which contestant would be able to "sustain a show in Vegas" every time they have to choose between the 5th and 6th place contestants. Personally, I find it strange that she got this far in the competition. What's your opinion??

ya i wanted the baton twirler to go through too. :(

about kaityln i agree. i think she is cute and nice and for a 4 year old can sing and memory is good enough to not screw up but ya i dont think vegas would be good for her. 4 year olds cant even get into vegas lol. dont think adults would spend an hour watching her. think she might be better if she entertianed kids maybe on a show like sesame street or some other kid show.

some times i feel they put certian people in to manipulate the outcome. like the zooperstars. ok they are entertianing but what do they do other then hope around in suits and like shanon(i think siad it) said you dont know who is underneath and have no connection to the people. and those tiwns, i dont hget how they made it after the first time cause they werent that good. ok they were awful lol.

Im rooting for Jessica Price. i think she is good and isnt all i want to be hollywood like some but not all the contestants.

I agree, she seems like a nice gal. I was glad that she was chosen to continue over the military guy, she is a better singer than he was.

That little girl is indeed adorable. However, I think personally that both the show and the parent's should never have allowed her to compete. Children that young can't sustain an hour and a half show in Vegas-which is what the judges keep pushing. Child labor laws alone would prevent that. When you see a child on a tv show, they usually have a twin as well such as the Olsen's. It's also not fair to the older people who are getting bumped instead. She's DEFINTELY very talented and will go places in her life-but give her a chance to be a kid first. That poor little pumpkin doesn't really understand what's happeneing and she'll be devistated when her time is up. I don't think I'll be able to watch it without going through a box of kleenex.:(

America got it right with the top 5 that are left. Can't wait until next week!!

Well, I knew that someone good was going home tonight. The first 4 that left I predicted, but then it came down to Eli and Jessica. I really would buy an albulm by Eli, I love his voice. He reminds me of Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20). I did like Jessica too though. I actually split my 10 votes up like this: 4-Nuttin' But Strings, 3- Eli, 2- Jessica, 1-Neal. I think that Nuttin' But Strings may win- I think they would have the most interesting/entertaining show in Vegas. It's a can't miss show for me next week!!

Good luck Nuttin' But Stringz!!!

[cath_31]

I was really surprised at the results! Nuttin but Strings in third place, I just can't believe it. I hope that they can make a living doing what they do, because they are AWESOME!! I am surprised that Neal won too because I didn't think that Opera would be popular enough to get him the votes, but he was very good. He also seems like a really nice guy, so I wish him well. I hope that Eli Mattson gets a record deal- I would definitely buy his CD!!!

I am so irked by who won! I was thinking NBS was going to win-they were different, likable, and wonderful at what they did.

I am hoping Eli gets a record deal as well-he was my favorite. DH and I both said we would buy his CD.
