America's Got Talent

elruth — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 04:29:56 GMT

I think this season is one of the best! Anyone agree? That Octavious is a fabulous young singer with a great voice and stage presence. I can't believe that Emily West doesn't have a wonderful singing career already! It will be difficult to vote as so many of the acts were great!

I don't usually vote on these shows but ITA the talent this year is probably best I've seen on the show

I like all of the singers but prefer Miguel because he's more my style of music. I like the cello players, and all of the magicians too, and I like Blue Journey. I don't know who all will go through! So many good acts.

I like the seasons when there aren't so many singers. I prefer the acts like Scooby & Blue Journey. Singers are a dime a dozen & you can watch American Idol or The Voice.

I voted for Miquel Dakota, I can see him as the new headliner. The 12 year old boy is good but he is way too young and can use some coaching. I also absolutely love Mat Franco the magician, he has the whole package. When Emily West sang Nights in White Satin it brought back so many memories and she should get a recording contract win or lose, she is fantastic. Can't wait to see who is going forward tonight.

Blue Journey seems to be losing steam. Weren't they an audience save? As Mel B said, last night was boring.

I do not get why Mara Justine is still around.

Love Emil and Dariel. There was a great article in the Sunday News about them and their grandfather

I wish this show were named, America's Got Talent Other Than Singing. That's probably why I don't watch it anymore.

I watch occasionally. I've seen some outstanding magicians. The only singers that have impressed me are the eclectic group of men and the young boy. I also love the young men with the cellos.

I agree with the 2 posters about the singing. With the Voice and AI, surely they could eliminate the singing part.

There are some good singers there, but I'd love to see another act win the whole thing. DH and I are hoping for one of the illusionists to take the win. Then again, the Acro Army is also an act that I would pay to see.

Out of all of the singers, our favorite is the group of 4 men, I think their name is Sons of Serendip.

My favorites are Mat Franco the magician and Sons of Serendip. The lead singer has such a beautiful voice. I would like to see both the child singers eliminated, as neither one is all that great, in my opinion. They are talented for their age, but not a million dollar act.

I wish there were fewer singers, too. It seems like the producers start out with lots of "variety" acts, and then the public votes to eliminate all but the singers

I like the magic acts, but some are much better than others. I think David and Leeman are good showmen, but their material is very weak. I can see how they do all their tricks. The other illusionists are genuinely mystifying to me.

I wonder if some of the child acts are self-motivated, or if they just have pushy - or indulgent - parents.

I was just watching a bit. I am absolutely bewildered at how Miguel Dakota is there. I think he is only there because he's ""cute"". I see zero talent in him. He never would have made AI or The Voice. I do like Sons of Serendipity and Emil & Dariel. Agree that the two child singers should go.

I just watched the recap. He is AWFUL.

Loved Mat Franco.

I cannot believe Miguel made it through instead of Emil and Dariel.

I am thrilled Emily West, Miquel Dakota, Mat Franco, Sons of Serendip and the acrobatic group were voted through. As for the 12 year old boy, I can only hope he will not win this. As for those of you who don't think Miquel should be in the show, would you rather have Justin Beiber who is a joke? For some reason the sound was not good whenever Miquel sang but for me I think, as Howie does, that he is a superstar.

Re: America's Got Talent

Emily West, Mat Franco and SOS are my top three. Not a fan of the boy, Miquel or Justin Bieber.

I like Miguel! I think he's very hip, and current. The other singers are very good but boring to me. I would not buy their music, I would buy Miguel's music. I also like Mat Franco! AND I liked the cello players E&D so I was sad to see them go. I hope someone gives them a gig.

I agree! Miguel is a mediocre singer at best.

I was sorry to see Emil and Dariel eliminated.

I think the public texting save and judges' save are ridiculous. Just take the top 6 vote getters and do away with that nonsense.

Out of the 12 performances this week, I thought Miguel's was the weakest. (followed by Mara)
