I really like this show. Last night was the first of the two semi-finals and the talent was unbelievable. I don't know how they're going to choose the five to continue. I was impressed with everyone. The singers are spectacular, but I really wish they didn't include singing in this competition as it's hard to judge between a physical talent and singing.
That said, I don't understand how there are 22 semi-finalists. They had 3 Live shows and chose 7 people from each of those shows. That makes 21. Where did the 22nd person come from and who is it?

Probably a wild card - they had a couple of wild cards in the previous round as well. I haven't watched last nights show yet, so can't speak to who it is.
That said, I totally agree with you - I don't think singing should be included. There are plenty of singing shows. Go on one of those. I would prefer this just be talent only.

They did have a wild card it was the Rubic cube magician he was brought back thru a voter petition so I think he is the extra person.
There were so many fantastic acts last night.
I really think that football player/magician is going to win it all but Grace the 12 yr old singer/song writer is phenomenal too.
I missed the first few acts did the singer from Jersey perform last night. I love him he could be on a sopranos type show lol. He is so confident and really wants to win.
Dangerous games gave me a lady boner lol they are a sexy act.
The kid comedian could have gone the 1st round I can't stand her.
I think I dislike the kid acts being there just as much as the singing acts as far as taking a spot away from a variety type act.

I pretty sure it was The Voice. Hmmm... now I'm thinking American Idol... off to google ETA found this:When his grandmother passed away, her music was all Sal had to remember her by. He had previously tried out for season 14 of American Idol, where he successfully made it past the auditions but did not proceed to the live shows. and this: "Sal the Voice," as he is known by everyone from Brooklyn to Bayshore" so I guess "The Voice" was on American Idol.

I would also be happy with the kid comedian (forget her name) and the Chicago choir being done. I love the story of the group from Chicago and think they're really talented but they seemed off last night. I could pass on the opera singer and the dangerous couple act where he throws things at her. It's talent, but it's not really entertainment when you're cringing the entire time, IMO. My favorite acts are the magicians, tape face and the young girl singer.

The singer from Jersey is Sol. His first audition was by far the best. He is very good, but does the same thing.
My favorite act is Tape Face. It is such an unbelievable talent. All his auditions were different and interesting. I love the singers, but I want someone else to win. The football player magician? I could see one of his tricks so I'm not as impressed with him as with Mat Franco from last year. I do like the young girl singer Grace. She is incredible.

I don't want Laura Bretan to win when she's already won Romania's got talent. I wonder if Simon Cowell was aware of this when she got the golden buzzer. I think she's a good actress when she acted shy about her singing when she did her first performance on the show. I'd love for one of the judges to put her on the spot about it, but it won't happen.
I can't think of a favorite I want to win. I didn't pay much attention to last nights show.

AS much as I really enjoy and am in awe of the kid singers, I'm kind of on the fence as to whether or not they should be on this type of show only because part of the prize is a contract for a Vegas act and question whether or not I'd want my kid doing that. There are also some other acts that while I think they are good, I question whether or not they would make a good Vegas Show.
I can see Tape Face and the some of the Magician's doing well in Vegas and definitely Dangerous Games but most of the others...not so much.

I enjoyed last night show. After every act I asked myself if I would I pay to see that.
I really like the football/magic guy, tape face, and Grace Vanderwaal (sp)
I think Dangerous Games is very talented and man was that ever sexy but, I don't think I would pay to see their show. Although it does seem very Vegas.
I remember seeing Sal on American Idol. I could enjoy a song or two but not a whole shows worth.
Not into opera, not into the kid comedian.
I do really like the older lady comedian, is she still on the show?

The talent last night was amazing! I really think they ought to have a separate "kid''s got talent" show. There are a few last night that I didn't think did themselves justice, but it is definitely going to be interesting to see who does go through.

I agree that I could do without the singers, and add the comedians to that too. My favorites this year are the clairvoyant couple and the football player, the Ukrainian juggler and the girl who shoots arrows with her feet. If I were picking a favorite singer, it would be the young gay man with the edgy haircut. I love how he really makes songs his own, not just sings them all the same way. Oh, and the South American dancing men. Mel B is gonna explode one of these days while they are onstage!

Why do I like tape face? I love his act, I'm always amused, he's always different. I loved his street video.
I also like the FB player magician And the 12 yo girl
Hopefully these people can capitalize on the exposure and go where they want to go in thier careers.
Btw tape face has been at it for quite some time he's an entertainer from NZ.

Same with Sol as he's had American Idol experience. Not that most don't have performance experience but I don't like when they are presented as fresh off the street- it's a bit deceiving. Not enough to care a whole lot but you'd think the producers know at least as much background as Google and the peas do, they'd present them different. Maybe they are afraid it'd affect the votes, but then again the not knowing and thinking they are "fresh" makes them seem more impressive and probably effects votes, too.

I thought at least you had to live in the country. You are right, refugeepea ! She should not be in the competition. I thought they'd show who went through to the finals tonight, but I guess it's going to be all at once next week.

Sorry for not putting their actual names, I figure we could figure it out was trying to type fast and the 2 guys juggling was the wild card

Thank you! I am in the Redskins football area and they showed the game and didn't even show the show later on. I think these were very good choices and am VERY glad that the wild card was that act. One of my favorites. Maybe not Vegas show-worthy, but certainly an opener for a Vegas show.
