08-02-06 08-02-06 All ten acts rated – Purely My Opinion - - What’s yours? Come On.

Keeping your order to save time...

1. David and Danya – Quick Change -- Like everyone else, can't imagine how they pull this off. I'm thinking the dresses/costumes might not be that easy to produce and that's why they used almost all the same ones both times. It's not as if she is suddenly going to change into overalls, lol. Wonder what "changes" (pun intended), if any, they'll make for the finale.

2. Celtic Spring – Pleasant. Brandy said they look "mechanical" but I think that's just the nature of step dancing -- the stiff back and the rhythmical steps.

3. Lilia Stepanova - I thought she should've been able to move on. How many people can do a handstand and then shoot a bow & arrow with their feet and hit a target?

4. John and Owen the Passing Zone – I agree with those that did not think it was the world's most exciting or difficult act. I told my kids that I didn't think the judges would be too excited, but I was wrong -- the judges liked them a lot.

5. Dave Smith – Too weird for me.

6. Sean and John – Tap Dancers – They were good but, at this level, I expected even better.

7. Michelle L’amour – Burlesque Dancer – I thought at least the guys here might be a little more enthusiastic about her, lol.

8. George Kelly– Singer – I immediately thought his voice was nasally & thought the judges would comment on it, but they didn't.

9. King Charles Unicycle Troop – Unicycle basketball – What can you say? Very disorganized looking, to say the least.

10. Desperation Squad – I think the judges only put them through to create "buzz" among people who watch. "Can you believe they put that band through?" said around the office water cooler is what they want to have happen.

I thought they said there would be ten acts in the Wild Card show, but I counted only eight.

What ever happened to Syd the Kid, that child comedian? Was she just not selected to be one of the ten out of one of these groups? I thought she'd at least be chosen for one of those slots since we weren't shown any other young comedians...

Can't believe that they chose Leonid and the finger snapping guy for the Wild Card show. Would have preferred Leila, (the bow & arrow gal), and AcroDunk.

I did like Lilia Stepanove and Celtic Spring. I liked George Kelly. I didn't see him the first time around, but I thought it unfair to criticize him for trying something that the judges suggested he do.
Quick Change made me wonder how they did it, but having seen them change once, everything else was just repitition.
The Burlesque dancer was good for a laugh, but on the wrong show.
Tap Dancing does absolutely nothing for me, no matter how good.
The rest of the acts were totally forgettable.

I agree about PassingZone...but they were more interesting the first time and on the result show.

I liked Lilia too but she needs more variety in her act. I also liked Celtic Spring. George Kelly is way to nasally. The burlesque dancer just made you embarrassed for her. Tap is...OK, but that wasn't particularly good.
