Did anyone here enjoy Prince Poppycock's act like night? Ducky and I couldn't stand it. The singing wasn't very good, the act was...er, way out there, and it looked like he gained 20-lbs.

I actually would watch him for hours rather than watch DJB for his 90 second routine... and that's bad. He was also better than the sh*t hip hop act that followed.
That said the final two in 2 weeks are Silhouettes and iLluminate regardless.

His singing was never really his strong suit. It was his costumes and showmanship that was his strength. I never though he was a great singer. What sold me was when he did the Queen song and actually managed to out camp Queen. His voice was always just OK to me, it did not grate on me, but I could see watching a show of his, never knowing what type of song he was going to sing or what he was going to wear and do.
That being said, I was not impressed by last night's performance either. He would be better off sticking to making fun of popular songs than opera.
The only performer to ever send chills up and down my spine and bring tears to my eyes is Jackie. I've got her CDs on my iphone.

He has a good voice when he's singing gleeful, happy and gay tunes like his Queen and Yankee Doodle Dandy tributes, and his light-hearted Largo al Factotum. However he is not fun to watch (okay, perhaps even painful to watch) when he sings serious opera and does his diva in drag nighclub act like he did last night. El Stinko! Piers was right when he buzzed him last year...stick to what the people enjoy.
Holy Crap! You can stuff a CD into your iPhone?
Seriously, we have both her CDs...big fan!
She is incredible... I just wish the CD's included her cover of "Time to Say Goodbye"... that was probably the best performance I've ever seen on the show.
That said and as much as I like silhouettes and iLluminate neither come close to Jackie or Fator IMO.
Don't get me wrong. I like Terry Fator and think he does great impressions. He is just too stiff. His puppets have more life in them. I'm used to impressionists like Rich Little who bring big personalities.

Yep, I'd rather watch PP than DJB by a long shot. As to the other 2 professional acts they brought on, well my son and I both commented that acts better than both of those got the boot on AGT on a regular basis. I was not impressed with either act at all.
I think the winner this year will be iLuminate!
They certainly appear to be the front-runner. Of course, I noticed one of the team members had one-half of the lights go dark on their suit...and Fighting Gravity had a "technical glitch" during the finals last year. iLuminate is creating a lot of the "tech" used in their production, so it has the potential to go horribly wrong...just like it did with Kinetic King.

I feel three of this weeks acts are a shoe-in to move on to the next round. The other two positions are up-in-the-air and will depend on their performance and how well they are liked or disliked (votes).
I had to replay the Kinetic King's act at 1/15 speed to fully appreciate it.
It was explosive, but very quick. I think KK may have a shot at moving into the Top 10.
I know folks like the West Springfield Dance Team, but each time I see them the acts is the same...and it's like something stolen from Micheal Jackson's Thriller video
Landon Swank...seems very similar to Frank Miles' act jumping on the four coolers - one with a knife in it. I'll have to disagree with the judges...I just didn't feel the "Wow!" from this act.
