We were a bit surprised they actually didn't hold his group until last, to be honest. The Michael Grasso vs. Prince Poppycock, Jackie Evancho vs. Anna and Patryk and Fighting Gravity vs. Studio One matchups were hardly surprises, right?

I did feel a little bad for the Jeremy Vanschoonhoven and Christina & Ali fake-out, though when I initially thought one of them advanced, I was quite surprised.

What did you think of Sarah McLachlan and "American Idiot"? I thought they were both decent, though not the most exciting results show performances they've ever had on "AGT."

So ... next week it's Jackie, Prince, Michael Grimm and Fighting Gravity? Who you got for your winner? I think it's between Jackie and Prince, myself.

Prince Poopycock is just too strange and weird to advance and Fighting Gravity, although entertaining are not what America endears (dance groups are not that unique). So it's down to Michael Grimm and Jackie Evancho. Tough one, eh? They are both great in different ways, but I think Michael will win not because he's better, but he's older and Jackie can write her own ticket when she's old enough.

If I wanted to watch American Idol I would wait until January. I will not waste my time anymore for this show. Singing is talent but how do non singers ever make it big or win? It's 3 singers in the finale. Yuck! I am furious and I voted! I would only pay to see Fighting gravity or even Prince Poppycock.

Michael Grimm might have seemed like the last spot to you, but not to his many thousands of passionate fans who love his voice, his history,and his personality. Have you checked his FB recently? He has over 17,000 fans. Thousands of new fans join up every day. We are intense about keeping soul music alive through this young man. As far as Fighting Gravity, no doubt that they could grow into a successful Vegas act, much like the Blue Man Group. Same thing with Prince Poppycock. Jackie is an absolutely great talent, but is America really ready to go mainstream with opera? I am not sure about that one yet.

It will probably be Jackie, but I will only vote between Michael Grimm and Fighting Gravity. Whoever has the best act next Tuesday is who I vote for.

I think it will be between Michael & Jackie - Michael is a great singer, plus he has a great story - wanting the money to buy a house for his grandparents. So I'm saying Michael to win. Personally, I vote for the Prince, Jackie and Michael, so I'll have a big decision next week!

So dissapointed. I was hoping one of the non-singers outside fighting gravity would make it. My votes will be between Prince Poppycock and Fighting Gravity. I never vote for singers on this show, unless they bring something unique to the table. Poppycock sings, but its so much more than that. I didn't like him at first but he has won me over.

If I were betting, my money would be on Poppycock. He's got that show business pizzazz that people will pay major money to see. It worked for Liberace.

Fighting Gravity and Poppycock will make great Vegas acts as that is what they look for. Micheal is an OK singer but Jackie is a rare gem. She is so talented and that voice is so beautiful it is like listening to an angel sing. When you people below the 49th vote you should vote for the best talent not necessarily the best act and remember 2 of these acts are already professionals so their way is already paved.

It is MIchael Grimm all the way. He has the know how of making it in Vegas and the desire to make it happen big. I can't wait to go see him live. Jackie is amazing, as well. She is young though, and will have many more opportunities to make it big; heck- she already has. My vote is for Michael.

Jackie is probably the best pure "talent" on the show. She will certainly be a great star for many years to come. But...this show has a dual purpose. To find the best talent to headline a show in Vegas. I can't see a 10 year old girl, no matter how talented she is, being put in that position. If Vegas is
the main theme, pick the top 10 acts and give them their own show. None of these people are going to hold an audience for an hour or two. But, people would come to see all of them perform in succession.
