  I was moved by the life stories of all top 5. Queen Emily began her walk as Mom then all we heard after that first interview was me me me. I think that was her down fall. Eli - very talented, Neal was great, but when I asked myself who I would pay to see & sit through a 2 hour Vegas Show, it was Nuttin But Strings.

  NEAL E. BOYD is a GREAT opera singer. He came from pretty much nothing, talk about an american dream. Great vocals!! I predicted he was going to win BOY!!!!!!!

  I stopped watching after Neal E. Boyd's first appearance.. The salesman who comes on, looking like he couldn't do anything other than selling you crap, but somehow comes on and wows judges by singing opera. Already saw that show.. It was Paul Potts. Something about this made it feel like it's staged. Sorry, but that's just my opinion.

  Yeah, Missouri! Twice in one year! David Cook and now Neal E. Boyd. I liked NGS until I saw their bad attitudes on last night's show. They thought, I think based on the judges' predictions, that THEY were ringers. So angry and ungrateful. Frankly, I'm glad anyone but NGS won.

  Wait a minute. Aren't the people who voted to decide who the winner would be the same folks that voted Bush into office TWICE? That should completely explain why the most deserving act didn't win.

  I was surprised to see Queen Emily was the first to go. She has such a dynamic voice. I know some record label will pick her up eventually. Eli is good too. He is young and handsome and has a great future ahead for him. I think Neal was good for what he does. His humility made me like him more and more each week. But my favorite was Queen Emily.

  Can anyone explain why Eli Mattson, an Elton John "impersonator" (in voice & piano playing) came in 2nd? More white voters maybe? Eli's an imitator, no original material, not as good a voice as Elton. My favorite was comeback kid Donald Braswell, but it was really a 4 way tie: Neal E. Boyd, Emily, fabulicious Nuttin Boys, & Braswell. I hope Las Vegas

  The singing was ok. OK.. it was really good for an unknown guy from Sikeston, MO but all that crying made it appear more like a charity appeal than a talent contest. Except for the tv show hype I cant see folks paying to see his act in Vegas.
