Jerry Springer is an enigma. He professes to be so sweet and supportive towards the contestants in contrast to the coarseness of the judges. Yet he hosts his own show which is one of the most sleezy and raunchy on the air. In fact,foreigners who watch American television actually believe this is how the majority of Americans act. Don’t they realize the main characters are coached on what to say and the rest of the audience is Pavlov simulated by large poster instructions.

America’s got Talent or America does Karaoke, there’s a reason why i don’t watch American Idol, because it’s mediocre at best, but mostly just painfull make your ears bleed renditions of other artists works. Why has America’s Got Talent devolved into the same tripe? I can’t believe that the top ten only had one act that wasn’t basically just karaoke. Only one act that did something different and composed their own music – by rights they should have won. Also can’t belive that Johnathon Burkin didn’t make the top ten, guess his cunning stunts weren’t enough to please that trio of stunning #$%^s. Basically this season just proved that America wouldn’t know talent if it hit it in the face. Why is the general public so attracted to the bland and mediocre, is there not enough bull&%@t music out there already. Most of the songs covered weren’t any good first time around when they were original works, let alone now a second time round when they’re rehashed poorly by a bunch of wannabies.

I have nothing against Neal winning. In retrospect, of the five remaining finalist who cares which mediocre talent wins.
If Neal seriously thinks he’s going to get the 100 million contract Terry Father received he’s badly mistaken.
Has anybody watched the 14 year old jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky on PBS program FROM THE TOP OF CARNEGIE HALL. This 14 year girl from Canada has some future.

I cannot believe that The big cry baby just won americas got talent… Eli Mattson is soooo hot and 300 times better than Neil. It is the biggest upset since the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the world series. I am boycotting Americas Got Talent next season…. he is such a BIG cry baby and can only sing OPERA!!! That is sooo last year. I am just flabergasted!!!!!

Nuttin but Stringz are the only competitors who actually compose (write) their own music that they’ve
used during the entire competition and auditions.
For me, that makes them worthy of the final prize.

Mary, Mary , Because your attracted to Donald’s good looks,along with many other female viewers, you can’t objectively judge or critique his singing skills.
The 47 year female blues singer and the 40 something Donald were both eliminated by the judges soley because of age discrimination. However Donald was given a second by the voting public.
