We watch the rest of the shows to see who rounds out the final ten, including my personal favorite Defying Gravity. I like it.

Now excuse me if I don't check this thread for a while, as it is an hour behind the Ohio broadcast, I think.

Wow, did no one else watch this? This was absolutely incredible. Every single act deserves to move one. I am agast. Absolutely incredible.

Fighting Gravity, the little girl, the first magician, Studio One Young Beast Society, and either the first singer, or the biker

The biker messed up twice. And I can't stand people that tell me how hard it is or how injured they are

Yah but he nailed that last trick so people may forgive the early screw-up. Frankly I don't think it matter, I think one of the other 4 are going to win.

I think Alice Tan Ridley, Michael Grasso, Studio One Dance Beast Society, Jackie Evancho, and Fighting Gravity will advance.

I'll be interested to see who gets the top four to automatically advance and which two acts will meet the judges (I think those two acts will be SODBS and Jeremy VanSchoonhoven).

both magicians were incredible, but the sad thing about this is people will take a mediocre singer (see last week, both the sisters and the one male singers, NOT POPPYCOCK or Michael Grimm) over a very talented magic act. Both of those guys were very good last week, but if either of them makes it, it is the first one. He was just more exciting and mysterious, although I would pay to see either one. It is really disappointing that there were so many mediocre acts last week and that literally every single act tonight deserves to go on.

In my mind, the only two that are a lock are Fighting Gravity and the 10 year old opera singer. My other guesses? Alice Tan Ridley, and then I really don't know.

Fighting Gravity, Studio One Young Beast Society, Jackie Evancho, Jeremy VanSchoohoven, and Michael Grasso advanced.

SOYBS won the judges vote over Alice Tan Ridley, 2-0 (didn't show Howie's vote).

Alice Tan Ridley deserves to be in the top ten, but so do the others that made it tonight. Had she been on last week she would have been golden.

Great show...but agree that Alice Tan Ridley should be in the top...maybe they should make it top 11...haha.

I always wonder though when the judges pick between the 5th and 6th place vote getters if the right person is getting through....

I woulda took Alice over the bike dude the second half of the top five was much harder to make then the first half. The two sisters who made it last week woulda been maybe 8th best this week

Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is really only a two-horse race between Fighting Gravity and Jackie Evancho?

I think theres three contenders with prince poppycock also in the running. My favorite is fighting gravity and their really the only act that if i was in vegas i would consider seeing.

As long as Fighting Gravity has a good performance the next couple of weeks...they will win hands down.

Figthing Gravity is the best "Vegas" act for me, easily. Although Poppycock could be quite entertaining, as well.

Jackie is the most talented, but she's not a show I'd pay money to see, not yet anyway. As a supporting role in a Broadway show or Opear, maybe.

They've dragged this out way too long. 6 people advancing? I've thought even last week had far too many mediocre acts at this stage, although this week's was pretty solid.

I assume Grasso was the sort of bluegrass/soul singer from last week? He was really good, most of the other singers I keep thinking had to be complete AI rejects, quite possibly not even good enough to get to "Hollywood".

The best singer on the show aside from the opera singers has to be Michael Grimm.

But I would agree that this is a two horse race between Jackie Evnacho and Fighting Gravity.
