You know Jaymes Foster executive produced the CD for the girl who won last year, Bianca Ryan. It didn't exactly fly off the shelves - I doubt if they expected it to - but I believe she's been touring with some other teen acts. I wasn't a fan - I rooted for The Millers - but I do think in a few years she will be very very good.

Too bad Leonid The Magnificent didn't make it in again. Not that he had any talent, but he sure was fun to look at!

Leonid is such fun! I would love to see a Tv special variety show with him doing his stuff.

Poor Jaymes - always stuck doing covers CDs I thought Bianca had a great voice but when I saw the track list on her CD I put it right back on the shelf. I can only imagine how many people did that with Clay's CD. I hope that Bianca gets the chance to record a CD of originals when she is a little older. She has the goods.

I have no idea who this Leonid is What did he do?

Thanks! Very interesting I think I remember a You Tube of his performance in the Angel costume. He just isn't really my thing. I'm sure he puts on a good show though.

On America's Got Talent, mostly his acts had technical glitches that ruined the act (harnesses that were supposed to raise him up that didn't raise, kinda things).

He is an odd, Fellini-esque persona, and I genuinely would love to see what he does when it works.

I really like odd, Fellini-esque personas.

If only I were a little less down to earth (by my own standards), I might just be one.

Terry Fator the ventriloguist/impressionist/singer won America's Got Talent.
Excellent. Cas Haley (singer) came in second, and I think he will do well.

Hi Frazz!

I watched it last night and I thought about you when Terry won. I wanted to come here and post about it but I knew you probably didn't see it live and I didn't want to ruin your surprise. I was very happy for Terry. All of the 4 finalists had plenty of talent (though I wasn't all that nuts over Cas) and I am sure will have some success. Terry seems like such a sweetheart. How cool that they already got him a show in Vegas. Vegas really is the only place for him. I did feel bad for Butterscotch. She seems like a great girl and loads of talent. What a makeover! She looked so beautiful last night.

Was the Hoff's performance suppose to be snark? Because I thought that was so OTT and so many bad notes. I just couldn't tell if he was trying to be great and thought he was great All I know is he made me cringe and I was embarrassed for him. Other than that it was a really fun and enjoyable show last night. Except I thought little Julianne sang rings around that Taylor Swift gal!

firecracker, the song The Hoff sang is from a musical based on the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I think it's called Jekyll. Anyway, it's kind of the big number from the show and David was one of the people who has played the lead in it. Ironically, one of the contestants who made it to the top 35 but was ultimately rejected for the top 20 sang it as his audition. He was a lot better than David was last night!

Yay for Terry winning! It's been so long since a reality show contestant I rooted for actually won. I liked Cas too and I can't imagine he won't get some sort of a record deal.

The Hoff's singing was AWFUL.

Regarding the show itself, I think the fewer regular singers they have, the better. Novelty acts have no other showcase on TV, and some of the more interesting novelties got cut fairly early (lady spinning plates, magicians, performing cats) to keep some good but not remarkable singers on.

Anybody else watching Nashville Star?

I am so bummed that Ashlee was eliminated last night I just loved her. She and Melissa are my picks. I don't care about anybody else left. Who is voting for Coffey? He is nice - but a star? Shawn? She looks too much like Monica Lewinski for me Oh well. Just felt liking being all whiny about my girl Ashlee I sure hope somebody signs her. Like Jewel said, she is the one that seemed most like a real artist.

I'm watching it. I think Melissa's the best out of who's left, but really no one has wowed me at all this year.

Yeah, Melissa and Ashlee have been my faves all along. Of the people left I think only Melissa stands a chance at a real career and considering the track record for this show even that is iffy. I do think maybe Ashlee could be this year's Miranda Lambert.

Congrats Melissa! Well deserved!

YAY for the fat middle-aged looking woman! I know it is very un-PC for me to say that, but man it makes me happy when the one in the general category of me wins (even if I could be her mother...in Hollywood she would go up for the same parts as me, regardless.

I am assuming she won..haven't seen it yet.

OK, saw it, the win: YAY!!!!!

The one thing that makes me kind of like country music is that women are much more represented (and powerful!) in that biz.

Some of the lyrics make me wanna puke outright, but at least it is women who do not necessarily look like young hotties singing it. In all forms of entertainment, I like to see women who represent something I can at least imaginatively identify with.

I do love the Dixie Chicks.
