America's Got Talent 9-17-08

Here's the run down

1. Paul Salos, the Frank Sinatra impersonator. Piers buzzed him for not being a million dollar act.

2. Kaitlyn Maher, the four year old girl. Not on her game tonight. No one buzzed her though and she got a standing O. Cute as a button, but I think that stress is finally showing. She won't be going to Vegas, but she'll be on every show that requires cute little girl for the foreseeable future.

3. Donald Braswell, the singer who lost his voice and had originally gotten booted. America voted him back and have carried him past 30 other acts that the judges originally picked. Did a good job, I didn't feel it though the audience loved it. He too got a standing O. Piers says he's not sure he's as good as the other singers. Sharon, playing the role of Paula Abdul, says something nonsensical and passes it over to the patronizing Hoff.

4. Jessica Price, the girl who has a little problem with her confidence. I honestly don't think she could handle the pressure of a Las Vegas contract. She is a cutie, and a great singer, but isn't quite ready. Piers loved her, which means more than anything the other two have to say.

5. Joseph Hall, the Elvis impersonator. If ever there was a reason to be 20 something again, yowza. Not that Vegas needs another Elvis, but I'd pay to see him, who cares how he sings. The audience loved him, Piers says his singing is horrible, but said he was incredibly entertaining. The Hoff, says his singing is perfect. Thanks Dave, that means sooooo much coming from you, maybe we can go to Germany....

6. Neal E. Boyd, the opera singer. Getting more and more confident, and rightfully so. He is awesome. He did an operatic version of "All By Myself" I loved it. The crowd hit their feet well before the song ended. Piers loved him, but....wants opera. He is making it through the interview stage of the show much better. None of the judges liked his choice of song, but everyone agrees that he can do it.

7. The Wright Kids, what are these people doing in this mix still? They are cute, but they are not a Vegas show. Maybe they could play Branson, but the girl always looks bored.

8. Queen Emily, good, but I am still casting my votes elsewhere. This is the first week I've even watched through her whole act. It was good. The judges gave her a standing O. I'm predisposed to not liking those with the title of Queen I guess.

9. Nuttin but Stringz, didn't do their usual. Piers said out of all the acts he'd pay his own money to see these guys. I bet they rock in person, but it doesn't translate well onto tv.

10. Eli Mattson, he's another of my favorites. I he's kind of Marc Cohn, whom I love. When Sharon informed him that Elton John watched, it looked like he was going to barf or faint.

I would guess that tomorrow we're going to find the following going into the final.

Neal E. Boyd
Nuttin But Stringz
Queen Emily
Eli Mattson
Donald Braswell

Not making it, in my opinion....

Kaitlyn Maher
Paul Salos
Jessica Price (although if I'm wrong it's here)
The Wright Kids
Joseph Hall

Check back tomorrow and see if I should pursue my psychic abilities.
