Kitty, I agree with you 100 percent - neither of these singers (Potts and Boyd) even comes close to the graduate and Artist Diploma students I went to school with at New England Conservatory. The people with real talent work extremely hard in a very competitive business, yet Potts and Boyd wind up winning a million dollars and a recording contract for performances that are mediocre at best, all because the judges are out of their league and not fit to judge an opera competition. Makes me sick!

Niel E. Boyd Is incredable what a great singer..... Dont limit him to just Opera..He makes me swoon with the emotion he brings to music!!!! It would be nice if Niel E. Boyd and Queen Emily were to do a Duet. They are Mighty awesome and I wish them the best.

i think that the james gang group is totally retarded and stupid

"How dare him sing Paul Potts opening song"
It is not a song, it is an aria from opera "Turandot" by famous opera composer Puccini written in 1926 and performed in best opera theaters in the world by singers so much better than Paul Potts and Neal Boyd it isn't even funny. And by the way, sung with a full orchestra and without microphones. How dare Paul Potts attempt to perform it after Pavarotti? After Placido Domingo? After Jose Carreras? Other wonderful tenors of the past such as Franco Corelli?

BTW - as anybody who knows anything about opera will tell you, Paul Potts' performance of this aria was abysmal. Maybe good for an amateur, but still amateurish. Neal's wasn't much better. Neither has the technique needed to do it right.

ms e Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 12:43 AM EST

boyd is a copy of BGT - it sucks. i do not want him to win. How dare him sing Paul Potts opening song.

Ms E Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 12:41 AM EST

they must think we are morons out here. this is a copy of britains got talent. it sucks.

Jessie Carroll Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 12:59 PM EST

How does Niel E. Boyd expect too be taken sewriously singing opera in that disgusting hat.......tell him to LOOSE it!!
Glad I got that off my chest.

Power Tool Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 07:26 AM EST

Wow, Hasselhoff has to be the stupidest, least talented person ever on TV. Yeah, worse than Randy J.

Chris Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 12:08 AM EST

I honestly felt like I was watching Britain's Got Talent Season 1 all over again. The baton twirler was a bit better though (every other corresponding act was a lot worse).

Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 09:38 PM EST

What song did the dude on the piano sing?

kitty Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 03:42 PM EST

"Placido Domingo isn't obese. I'm sure there are plenty of others"

Examples: Juan-Diego Florez (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgqpQKEXtYQ&feature=related), Roberto Alagna, Rolando Villazon, Jose Cura.

Or the ladies - Anna Netrebko (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_kaOYC_Fww), Diana Damrau, Natalie Dessay, Renee Fleming, Angela Gheorghiu. There are plenty of others. Rumor is the current Met director prefers good-looking singers :-)

I do recommend, by the way, to listen to the best opera singers - Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras, Corelli, etc. - sing Nessun Dorma to get an idea how it is meant to sound.

But... How does it matter if a singer is fat or not? I'll be the first to criticize his singing flaws - off key, bad Italian - but why should it matter if he is fat? Maybe in opera or a movie you may prefer a character to be believable. But in a concert it doesn't matter.

To Last Poster Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 12:04 PM EST

No, just the one's you remember. Isn't that a shame. Placido Domingo isn't obese. I'm sure there are plenty of others, but since I am not an opera fan I don't know their names (2 of the 3 tenors).

Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 09:23 AM EST

Not to point out the obvious, but aren't most male opera singers larger dudes? Let's lay off this guy. How frickin' shallow are you people?

To Victoria Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 11:01 AM EST

Please save all the god talk for your church, where it belongs. Clearly Neil worships food.

To Victoria Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 11:01 AM EST

Plase save all the god talk for your church, where it belongs. Clearly Neil worships food.

Victoria Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 03:08 PM EST

I conceed. Your logic was undeniable. I am converting to Scientology tomorrow. I need serious reprogramming. And youre right. Neil could have been better. He could have been singing wile eating a cheeseburger.

B. Al Zhibub Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 07:44 PM EST

Victoria, your love of money gives you a one qay ticket to join me in the afterlife. Also, ye casted the first stone. Thine Bible spouting shant save thee. Neil shall be joining me as well, as he is guilty of the cardinal sin of gluttony. Additionally, he hath already sworn over his soul in a contract. He traded the rights to his soul for the opportunity to have loonies like you think he is great. You hath made him into a golden calf. Pardon me, golden pig.

To Victoria Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 07:40 PM EST

Sorry for impersonating God. Which other imaginary character would you like me to post as next time? Puff the Magic Dragon? Topo Gigio?

kitty Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 06:15 PM EST

I love opera, and IMHO while Neal Boyd is talented, he isn't that great by opera standards. I agree with Preston - there are many aspiring opera singers who are better. Yes he won a couple of competitions, but nothing that prestigious. Paul Potts wasn't that great either. I thought Neal Boyd's voice was better, but he was off-key, couldn't hold the last note, his voice cracked. Yes he got emotional, but you wouldn't expect a singer's emotions to interfere with singing. Also, singing 1/3 of an aria with a microphone isn't the same as singing a full opera in a large opera house without amplification.

What is great though is that even a flawed by opera standards performance can touch people so much. What would've been greater is if these same people went and tried to listen the same aria performed by world class opera singers. Who knows - you may actually enjoy it. Or other arias - e.g. from La Traviata or Rigoletto.

To Victoria Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 03:40 PM EST

It is amazing you can understand your bible and not even see that Bubb was on your side. Oh you didn't :mean" what you said. I've heard that before. Well my god given talent is having common sense. Neil is bigger than Pavorotti and no where near as good. Lots of obese folks die everyday from weight related problems. It's intersting that you say he "deserves" the million. Maybe god should have just given him the million instead of his talent? Wow. Which is more important to you, your bible spouting or $$$$. I am using my god given talent to help people every day. And I give my $ to charities. And I will nbot respond again to you because you are an ignoramous. Neil is obese and needs help. He is not THAT good and he will not win be ause America is not into fatties. Don't blame the messenger. And Pavorotti was not American.

Victoria Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 03:21 PM EST

TO BUBB and HOW DARE YOU CALL YOURSELF +GOD+. This will be the last comment I make - nor will I read anymore as I can see I am dealing with "children". What I was referring to about the millions "in heaven" is how RICH we will all be once there, you obviously don't read your bible or this would not have turned into a religious battle. I pray for people as yourself everyday, that +GOD+ will change their bitter hearts. I am here to congratulate Neil as I feel he so richly deserves. Pavarotti was obese and OH WHAT A VOICE - seems he lived a pretty long, luxurious life!! I agree, it is NOT healthy - but Neil did not get on America's Got Talent for a hot dog eating contest - he has (like I said before) and +God+ given talent, don't be jealous. Like Richard Geere said in "Pretty Woman" when he took Julia Roberts to the Opera, either it's in you or it's not and obviously it was in her when she nearly wet her pants! May +God+ have mercy on your souls and may +God Bless You+!

to victoria and bubb Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 11:53 AM EST

Now that we all know neils background can you please use your telepathic powers and tell me why he was bawling? After all you claim to know what kind of person he is. I think it's cause he saw a guy in the front finish off his chicken nuggets. I will bet you dollars to donuts (Neil will like that) that Neil won't win. AMerica's Got Fatties, but not too many that they pay to see!

To Victoria from God Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 11:49 AM EST

Sorry Victoria, but I love mean and sarcastic people, but not fatties. I created man in my image, but gave them free will, and Neil abused it. After all, I do not have a frontbutt. I do love Niel, and I'll be seeing him very soon. Also, being omnipresent and omnipotent, I know that your attempts to contact Niel on this web site are wastes of time. He is on the internet, but is instead watching food-related adult films, and stealing them to boot. His chances at heaven are questionable, and if you were any sort of religious person, which trust me, I see you are not, you would know there is no such thing as money in heaven. Read a Bible or something medammit.

To Bubbs Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 11:42 AM EST

I did not call anyone a name. As a medical professional, I was describing what I can see from Niel. I do not make any pretensions of knowing him, like you do. Nor do I make any assumptions about his personality. His size is apparent and it is not healthy. America's fat prejudice is as apparent as the 800 pound Niel in the room.

gringogary1 Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 09:22 AM EST

While he still sales insurance for his day job, he has a decent resume. Definitely a talented guy;

"Neal Boyd, tenor Winner of the 2000 MTNA Collegiate Artist Voice Competition, Neal Boyd is making a name for himself, having debuted at Carnegie Hall in March 2001. Neal has performed in a number of musicals including The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd. In addition, he has performed in several operas, including Rigoletto, Die Fledermaus and L'Elisir d'amore. Boyd graduated from Southeast Missouri State University, where he was a student of Christopher Gocke, and the University of Missouri, where he studied under Ann Harrell. He is pursuing a master's degree at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston."

Victoria Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 08:32 AM EST

+GOD+ does not see "fat" or "ugly" we are all his children. Some are blessed more than others (here on earth) but we are all equal in his eyes, which is ultimately what counts in the end - which we will all face. You better take a long look at yourself and clean up your act - all of you that are looking down your noses at Neil. He has a +God+ given talent and he deserves to win the million, here on earth and in heaven!!

Victoria Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 08:26 AM EST

NOT to downplay Neil what-so-ever... NEIL .... YOU ROCK ON!!! You are Pavarotti's replacement!!! GO NEIL!

angela Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 10:45 PM EST

About those 'Slippery Kittens skanks,' maybe they should be on a different show such as 'I am MILF hear me roar,' or 'America's Got Plastic Surgery'

Bubbs Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 09:13 PM EST

How...HOW can you honestly be SO RUDE and SO HATEFUL and call someone names that you don't even know??? It's so sad to know that there are that many miserable people in the world that they try to make everyone else miserable along with them. Neil is an Awesome person with so much talent. Maybe he just needs someone to encourage him and let him know that he could lose weight and be a healthier person...but who are YOU to judge someone? You obviously are inhumane to call another names like an immature child would do...You keep your head up high Neil...God has given you an Awesome talent and we are all cheering you on from here at home and are praying for you and for those that obviously need prayer themselves!!! WE LOOOOOVE YOU NEIL!!!

to Victoria Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 08:16 PM EST

Neal was a morbidly obese man who will die young if he doesn't focus on getting healthy instead of weeping for sympathy on TV. Who is going to pay to see a man with his arse where his jiggly bits should be?

Victoria Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 05:16 PM EST

NOT to downplay Neil what-so-ever... NEIL .... YOU ROCK ON!!! You are Pavarotti's replacement!!! GO NEIL!

Victoria Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 05:13 PM EST

Sorry, long nails hit enter before I was finished!! After Neal sang his Fantastic opera song - what was that song playing in the background - a lady was singing it. ???

Victoria Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 05:12 PM EST

I have just one question - what was that song that was playing in the background after Neal sang his WONDERFUL... AMAZING.... FANTASTIC

To Arlene Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 12:14 PM EST

You are correct and also too kind. Fat tub of lards never win anything. Even Hot Dog eating contests. Folks are patronizing cause the fat boy can sing. And those "cat" women were awful. All the plastic surgery on the leader was scary. Stop encouraging her.

Arlene Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 11:25 AM EST

I listened to Neil Boyd on YouTube.

He has been singing for a long time, and may have a great voice, but he fell apart when it mattered most.

Paul Potts was extremely nervous as well. He only hit one wrong note and finished the song perfectly.

The issue is that we are voyers. Mr. Boyd is very obese. This is America and we are shallow.

He may be good, but I do not think that many folks would pay to see him in concert. Buy the CD, maybe.

Skeptical Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 11:21 AM EST

Gee, a nebbishy guy that works in a common job that can sing opera. Where have I seen this before? What's the matter producers? Couldn't find someone like that working in your local Verizon store?

Sigma87 Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 09:19 AM EST

It's obvious that some of these people have not done their research on Neal E. Boyd. I've heard him sing in person and let me tell you, the man CAN SING! Check out his website, www.nealeboyd.com. He isn't dubbed "The Voice of Missouri" for nothing. If he sucks so bad, then why has he won several competitions and performed at Carnegie Music Hall?

He was very emotional on that evening, sure, I noticed his breaths were not normal and he didn't even finish the song. Why, he was moved by the audience and judges. If you still think he isn't all that after hearing his music, then that is your opinion. But at least make an informed opinion before you judge and not base it on looks or one emotional performance.

Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 08:56 AM EST

That 4yr old was soooo cute!

me Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 01:23 AM EST

i loved the britney guy and i also knew about neale boyd, it is a definite copy of britain's got talent's winner. that said, it doesn't take away the fact that he's a great singer. as said though, it's a little scandalous and the easy road to viewers

Anthony Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 11:41 PM EST

And the BEST ACTOR award goes to Piers Morgan, for actually seeming to have never seen Nessum Dorma performed on a 'Got Talent' show. How could he honestly sit there and not know that MILLIONS of Americans who visit YouTube would not FIND OUT that the US producers are FAKING by re-making (poor-at-best) US counterparts to Paul Potts and Connie Talbot? Are these people for real? This is scandalous!!

Anthony Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 11:37 PM EST

Wow. How sad it is that AMERICA has no talent... I mean did anyone from the show not realize that through YOUTUBE Americans would learn that (Paul Potts) from Britain's Got Talent also sang 'Nessum Dorma' and won, or that 6 year old (Connie Talbot) already did the 'cute little girl' act? Here is the difference, watch the original tapings from the UK show found on YOU TUBE, those were REAL.

The US producers are trying to recreate the magic that 'naturally' occurred in England last year. It is a SAD commentary to think that Simon Cowell and Pierce Morgan think we have NO TALENT in America. THAT FAT GUY WAS A STAGED ACTOR (who could not sing HALF as well as Paul Potts). I am so disgusted with the show... Simply disgusted...

Jan Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 10:42 PM EST

quote> My husband works nights and missed the show. I called him at work and told him how moved I was when Neil Boyd sang. I got chills and tears came to my eyes. Not because of his story. We all have a story. His talent was brilliant. Yes, he has work to do. Remember, he is an amateur. I spoke aloud to myself at the end of his song as if I was speaking to my television. I said, "The contest is over, give him the million dollars and tell me where I can buy the cd." I was truly impressed./

My sentiments exactly. Neil E. Boyd has his own file on my desktop and on my Video iPod. I am following this man right the way through to his first cd! AWESOME just AWESOME! The rest might as well just not bother catching their flights to Las Vegas!!!

mean but real Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 06:55 PM EST

There is no way that tub of lard will win anything. America may have talent, but they don't like fatties.

Smoochie Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 06:52 PM EST

Funny you compare it to Idol. I thought Randy Jackson was perhaps the stupidest person on TV until I saw David Hasselhoff. He has no equal.

Matthew Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 04:39 PM EST

I'm not too impressed with this season of the show. I deeply enjoyed the previous seasons, but this is just the first show of the season. The "4th Judge" seems to have been a horrible idea, because the audience is just wicked with their yelling and booing.

LisaMay Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 02:19 PM EST

David Archuletta should have won!!!!

Renate Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 01:23 PM EST

Neale Boyd was SUPERB he has a such natural Talent and he should win this HANDS DOWN .God bless you Neale .

wraith808 Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 01:20 PM EST

There's also been a baton twirler on AGT before... last season in fact. And I think he was actually better. But noone's mentioned the britney act... OMG. I showed it to my GF, and had to rewind because she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Rob Grizzly Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 12:07 PM EST

Contrary to what they said, I don't think they showed any of the Dallas auditions- I know because I was in the audience.

Watching the show all these months later, Jerry Springer didn't do anything, really. Fine host. The judges are run-of-the-mill. The nice one, the mean one and the cool one.

A good premiere, but I haven't been "wow"ed by anyone yet.

irene karaplis Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 12:02 PM EST

We recently submitted a video for auditions. We haven't heard anything. Do you guys let us know either way?

Julianne Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 01:56 AM EST

Jonathan Arons was absolute fun...a breath of fresh air!

Crystal Phantom Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 12:53 AM EST

I think that the "Slippery Kittens" should NOT have won; they were just 'skanks' flailing around showing their panties and cleavage to an audience that probably had young members in it, those sickos... I hope they get voted off.

Spiritdancing Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 08:55 PM EST

Seemed very contrived to have Neil, the insurance salesman opera singer close the show. He's okay as a singer, but there are better aspiring opera stars out there. Also interesting that he chose the same song Paul Potts did on the UK show (Nessun Dorma). Potts is by far the better of the two. I cried each and every time I saw clips of him. And he was just as amazing post CD release and extreme makeover when he appeared on Oprah. I hope Neil does well. He has a sweet back story, but he can improve a lot.

BW Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 07:30 PM EST

Yes, agree the Hoff is Paula! I think Sharon is Randy - she's not loopy like Paula and her comments actually make sense.

Lola Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 06:37 PM EST

I see I'm not the only one who doesn't think Neil Boyd is the second coming. I mean, hard luck story and good voice -- yes. But if you think he's all that, please go directly to youtube and look for Paul Potts' British America's Got Talent audition -- he sang Nessum Dorma and it was spectacular. Neil barely got a couple phrases before falling apart. Granted, there's potential, but dude needs to pull it together and work on his phrasing and sustain the notes.

Preston Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 06:19 PM EST

Neil Boyd wasn't that great. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of opera singers out there with far more talent and skill.

Jana Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 06:19 PM EST

Umm, the winner last season was a ventriloquist, so singers don't always win.

Stephanie T. Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 05:37 PM EST

Yeah, but they had this last year with that dancing saxaphonist who sort of looked Elvis Costello.

Sally Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 04:43 PM EST

The dancing trombonist was funny as he***....I kind of liked the 4-yo, she was a sweety, but I don't think she belongs with the grownups. Her parents are definitely pushing her into show business - maybe commercials or the "Annie" cast...other than that it was entertaining and silly and corny and I'll probably watch bec. there's nothing else on this summer. Piers is the only "real" judge (Simon?) who tells the truth. Betcha the finalist ends up being a singer...that's my probl. with this show...it's another Amer. Idol, because the winners are always singers.

MsDaisy Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 03:49 PM EST

I would much preferred to be able to listen to all of Neil Boyd's performance than to have the constant cut-aways to Jerry Springer. Is Drew Lachey not available for hosting duties?

whoa Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST

The Hoff is definitely Paula. I see no Randy there at all, dawg. It's all Simon and Paula on this judging panel.

Aditya Liviandi Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 03:01 PM EST

and Piers Morgan is a judge on BOTH britain's got talent and america's got talent.

Aditya Liviandi Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 02:59 PM EST

baton twirler from britain's got talent 2007 - craig womersley

little girl from britain's got talent 2007 - connie talbot

opera singer salesman from britain's got tallent 2007 - paul potts

THREE similar acts? i think the show's scripted.

Stephanie T. Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 02:52 PM EST

The Brit impersonater looked like Ashton Kutcher as Brit.

Opera guy was amazing. Jose Carreras, look out!

I am concerned about the four year old girl. If anyone has seen An American Tail, the girl sang the song exactly the way it was written for Fivel and his sister. The girl was great, but at the same time, she had to have been coached.

DanOregon Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 02:36 PM EST

It's nice to see people's talents appreciated, liked the baton twirler and Opera Man (Very Paul Potts if I do say so myself) - but this show is produced within a hair of its life. Jerry "People are standing up!" Judges reading bio about tough life ("What have you gone throught to get here?") It would be better without the constant cutaways to the judges and Springer (and a lot less "zanyness."
