America's Actually Got Some Talent

i was busy the last few days so i didn't get to America's Got Talent till tonight but here is what i think...

i have always said i hate when the show just becomes another singing and dancing talent show rather then other talents, but...

- butterscotch and cas haley are really great. cas is just such an effortless and talented singer (and unlike piers i really liked the blues number he did) and butterscotch is just incredible the way she sings and beatboxes at the same time. it is really something good.

- terry fator is, and i agree with piers on this one, the greatest ventriloquist i have ever seen, he is so good and creative and funny and he does it all without moving his lips half the time. really great showcase of what the art of ventriloquism is all about.

- the glamazons were really good. i like these women and i think they have better voices then they got credit for from the judges. and they just put on a good show.

those are the four best without question.

besides that i thought that big fiddle playing family was pretty average (their version of the devil came down to georgia had none of the power that the real song has)... the calypso tumblers were good... the country singing guy was fine but nothing special... julienne irwin was pretty good.... sideswipe is good and talented but they just have never wowed me.

at this point i think butterscotch or terry factor should win (cas is great but the other two are more 'talents' and different)
