America's Got Talent Season 5

[Ilya]

By no means my favorite show. I don't like the judges, I hate the buzzer, but boy, do they have some talent!!! Some of the acts are just amazing!

 

[DodgerKing]

I just watched last nights episode and it was exactly as I predicted, much much much much better than the previous week. Even the worst acts this week may have been voted in last week. I will predict that most of the final five will come from this particular group of 5.

I'm surprised the judges didn't buzz Jason DeBoolow - he was awful.

Who is Jason DeBoolow?

I like Piers because he is usually brutally honest, quick to buzz, and usually right; I like Sharon...she fills the "too nice to buzz" quota; I like Howie, but not as a judge. The show had an opportunity to improve after parting ways with the Hoff...but Howie is no better. Anyway, it was nice to see Jerry back on the show for a short while.

Jackie Evancho (no surprise) is moving to the finals.

As scripted, the vote will be 1-1 with someone breaking the tie and voting for Ridley. It makes for great TV.

 

[DodgerKing]

* Alice Tan Ridley, Singer
* Debra Romer, Singer/Musician
* Fighting Gravity, Blacklight Performers
* Haspop, Popping Dancer
* Jackie Evancho, Singer
* Jeremy VanSchoonhoven, Extreme Cyclist
* Maestro Alexander Bui, Pianist
* Michael Grasso, Magician/Illusionist
* Michael Lipari & Ashleigh Dejon, Aerialists
* Murray, Magician/Illusionist
* Nathaniel Kenyon, Singer/Musician
* Studio One Young Beast Society, Dance Troupe

The five will come from the 6 bolded ones, IMO. All six are better than most of the top five from the other group.

Looks like I was only off by one. I picked the wrong magician

IMHO, none of them is qualified to be a judge in this competition...
I agree, Piers is the most objective one, but he is too obnoxious and too trigger happy.

 

[riffjim4069]

Wow! I didn't see that one coming...

 

[DodgerKing]

Wow! I didn't see that one coming...

OK...I was off by 2

Make that two Dodger...Ridley was sent home. Actually, make that three since you voted for six acts and only five were voted through. That's a batter average of .500 - which is great in baseball.

I said 5 of the 6 highlighted. Two that went through were not highlighted. I thought for sure that Ridley would be one in the final round. If she went last week, she would definitely be in

I was really surprise to see Ridley voted off.

I was really surprise to see Ridley voted off.

If she performed last week, she would have made it another round

 

[DodgerKing]

Who are the ten? I forgot who went through last week

 

[riffjim4069]

My predictions were based on who I though would advanced. I actually voted for the other magician (much bigger illusion) and The Maestro. I'm not a Ridley fan, but I thought for sure that she would be voted through. Anyway, the final should be a good one.

 

[riffjim4069]

If she performed last week, she would have made it another round

Yep, easily. I'm still surprised she was booted.

I was really surprise to see Ridley voted off.

She was judged off. Howie didn't get a chance to choose as Piers and Sharon went with the dancers. They were the only ones I was surprised to see move on.
