America's Got Talent 2008 - 09/11/2008

Top 10 Results show - Live from LA

Ok... Apparently, when we started yesterday's show late, we only missed Terry Fator's act. :-( Ah, well. At least it was on YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJNzrFgMk6c ;-)

So on with tonight's show (only 1/2 hour). By the end of tonight, we will have the top 10.

In and Out acts were voted that way by the American Public. The 5th and 6th place acts are voted on by the judges.

NOTE: All videos are from NBC, and should be the acts from the Top 20 Show.

**

For the past few shows, they've brought two acts to the front of the stage. One goes on, one goes home.

Tuesday acts:

In:
The Wright Kids http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/the-wright-kids/642021/ (vs ZOOperstars - We knew who would be picked here.)
Neal E Boyd http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/neal-e-boyd/642082/ (vs Queen Emily*)
Queen Emily http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/queen-emily/642025/ (vs Neal E Boyd*)
Paul Salos http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/paul-salos/642121/ (vs The Cadence. This one upset my wife. I thought Paul was more "Vegas", though.)

Out:
ZOOperstars http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/zooperstars/642022/
Extreme Dance FX http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/extreme-dance-fx/642024/ (vs James Gang*)
The James Gang http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/the-james-gang/642141/ (vs Extreme Dance FX*)
The Cadence http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/the-cadence/642142/

* Very sneaky. After getting used to them bringing out two acts, one goes home and one stays, they brought out Neal E Boyd and Queen Emily. The judges were VERY confused, and upset, thinking one would go home. BOTH made it. Then, they brought out Extreme Dance FX and The James Gang one expecting to stay, but no... BOTH went home. It kinda set it up for Wednesdays showdowns (in the same order as shown, except for those in this paragraph).

Judges (5th & 6th):
Between
Daniel Jens http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/daniel-jens/642101/
Jessica Price http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/jessica-price/642081/

David: Impossible decision. It's very difficult for me. But I have to. That's why I'm a judge. With deep respect for all of you. Jessica, you've come a long way from the beginning. The camera loves you. Daniel, whether you get passed through or not, don't go back to Iraq. You are an inspiration. If you go back, go back and entertain. My vote is Jessica. Sharon: Jessica... You're a gorgeous young girl. I don't know if you could sustain an audience for 90 minutes in Las Vegas. Same with Daniel. Chose: Daniel. Piers: Jessica... I think you were disappointing the last performance. Daniel... When I said go back and serve, there's no greater calling than serving your country. But I'm going to go with the act I think can go on, and that's Jessica. Jessica is in.

Wednesday's acts -

In:
Kaitlyn Maher http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/kaitlyn-maher/646881/ (vs SickStep. Even with errors last time, I thought they'd be in.)
Donald Braswell http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/donald-braswell/646841/ (vs The Tapping Dads. Too bad... I really would have liked to see the Dads go on.)
Nuttin But Strings http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/nuttin-but-stringz/646861/ (vs The Taubl Family. Too bad. I thought the Taubl's would make it.)
Eli Mattson http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/eli-mattson/646842/ (vs Sarah Lenore. This was a toughie. I wanted both to get in. But there would have been too many, then.)

Out:
Sickstep http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/sickstep/647061/
The Tapping Dads http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/tapping-dads/647081/
The Taubl Family http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/taubl-family/647042/

Judges (5th & 6th):
Between
Jonathan Burkin http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/jonathan-burkin/647041/
Joseph Hall http://www.nbc.com/Americas_Got_Talent/video/clips/joseph-hall/646901/

Piers: Very very difficult call. Only going to go with my vote, because I believe there's more to see with this act. Joseph. Sharon: Jonathan. David: Here's the deal. Whether you get voted off tonight, remember you got this far. Jonathan I love what you do. You have an incredible act. You know I applaud you. Joseph: You're great. Who do I think can sustain an act in Vegas. I gotta go with Joseph. Joseph's in.

So, the top 10, next week, will be The Wright Kids, Neal E Boyd, Queen Emily, Paul Salos, Jessica Price, Kaitlyn Maher, Donald Braswell, Nuttin But Strings, Eli Mattson, and Joseph Hall.

See you next week!
