Is anyone still watching this show? I didn't really watch the auditions but now that my dance show is over, I've been recording the show and FF through a lot of it. I watched that 4 year old girl sing last night and although I think she's just adorable and does a great job for a 4 year old, she shouldn't have gotten this far. She was not in tune last night so I don't know why the judges said she was spot on. What amazes me the most about this girl is how polite she is. She must have said "Thank You" about 20 times last night, lol. But on another note, I really enjoyed the guy who lost his voice and wasn't suppose to be in the top 40 but ended up getting a second chance. I forget his name but I thought he was excellent. I even voted for him. It was the first and only time I've done any voting for this show. Sheryl |

I was surprised to hear Pierce say it was time for the 4 year old to go but I had to laugh when she thanked him for saying that. I think her parents must have told her to just say thank you no matter what was said to her. And the poor little girl looked scared out of her mind. I think this is way too much for a 4 year old. On another note, I thought Donald Braswell was excellent. He gives me chills when he sings. Sheryl |

Donald Braswell is my favorite with the opera singer and Nuttin but Strings a close second. Tonight should be tough cutting it down to just 10. |

The four year old is darling. She did add some movement to her act but she does sound like a parrot with all her thank yous. There are so many better acts that I hope this time she is cut. Wow so many talented people. The baton twirler is amazing but doubt it's the type of act most people want to see. Bet all the performers are a nervous wreck. Does anyone else find all those flashing, blinking, glaring lights annoying? I'd like to see the performers without all the distraction of the lights. When they introduced the acts they also have all those bulbs behind them glaring. |

There are a lot of very talented people on the show this year but I think my favorite is Donald Braswell. I do like the opera singer but Donald's voice is very similar to Robert Goulet's like Sharon mentioned last week and Robert Goulet is one of my favorite male singers. I'm kind of nervous about tonight. I hope my favorites make it to the top 10. Sheryl |

When Queen Grace and the opera singer both came up side by side I was so upset and then THEY BOTH WON. I hope that many of these talented people that don't win do have opportunities come their way and I hope that they'll appear on some shows like the Tonight Show. I'd love to see that 4 year old interviewed by Jay. BTW the one judge told her she should run for president. Later behind stage they showed a clip where she said, "I don't want to be president! I just want to sing." She is adorable. Oh my goodness can't believe she's in the top ten, though. Donald was at one point sent home and then was called back when one act couldn't continue and now he's among the top ten! |

OMgosh. I was so upset when Jerry called both Queen Grace and the opera singer to the floor since I didn't want either one of them to go home yet. Thank goodness they were both safe. I can't believe the 4 year old is still safe. I can hear that interview now. Jay: Kaitlyn, you are the smartest 4 year old in the world. Kaitlyn: Thank you. Jay: Kaitlyn, You are the youngest contestant. Kaitlyn: Thank you. Jay: Kaitlyn, are you allowed to stay up this late? Kaitlyn: Thank you. Jay: If you win, what will you do with all that money? Kaitlyn: Thank you. Jay: Well it's been nice talking to you. Kaitlyn: Thank you. Jay: Good luck in the contest. Kaitlyn: Thank you. Sheryl |

That is so funny Sheryl. I do find it remarkable that she never forgets a word! |

I'm certain that Kaitlyn will not be the winner but for a four year old to get up there in front of all those people and all those lights and perform is remarkable. I'm glad she'll have one more opportunity to sing and hope she chooses just the right song and has a great performance. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the top ten perform as I'm certain they are pulling out all the stops. They must all be nervous wrecks. |

I too think it's remarkable that she can get up there and sing, and remember all the words but I don't think I'd want to listen to her sing for an hour or more. Plus, I really don't think a 4 year old needs all that stress in her life. Sheryl |

This years show turned into a singing competition, which is fine by me. All my favorites ended up in the top 10. I wouldn't even know how to vote since I love them all. Elvis was simply amazing the other night, Eli (the piano/singer) too. He has such a beautiful and pure voice. Then there is Queen Grace??(I don't think it's Grace but I can't remember) Of course we've got Donald Braswell. I kept voting for him when we had the opportunity to bring someone back since another group had to bow out because of an injury. And how could I say no to Neal? I missed the show when he sang MaMa, sort of glad I did, since that song always gets to me, but from what I have heard he was fantstic too. And then we have Frank Sinatra! Gosh, what a group this year. As for the 4 year old tyke, she is adorable, but come on, enough is enough. There is no way she is in the same league with the rest of the contestants. I wished people would stop voting for her because she's cute. |

I really doubt that Kaitlyn will win the contest. I have been wondering what song she will sing next time. I also wonder what some other contestants are chosing for their next performances. I find myself torn between Donald, Grace and the opera singer. They are all so talented. I hope the Sinatra imitator gets a gig somewhere but IMO don't think he's the best contestant. |

I think her name is Queen Emily... is that it? Also, I don't think the Sinatra impersonator is nearly as good as the judges make him out to be. I'm voting for Donald to win. |

You are right, it is Queen Emily. As I've said before, I am horrible with names. I like Donald too butI hope Queen Emily's appearance on this show will launch some type of career for her in the music business. |

Wow a lot of good performances last night. I think Kaitland definitely will not make the top five. The Sinatra immitator was really off last night. I was impressed with Queen Emily's performance. |
