So I watched this tonight and saw Kaitlyn sing for the first time. She's cute and all but I can't help wondering why her parents thought it would be a
great idea to expose their 4 year old in this way. She's an "ok" singer - for a four year old. There's nothing spectacular and I just feel
bad for how this could hurt her when she loses. Has anything been said about the parents through all this? I know the producers probably saw her and
instantly thought of ratings but for the parents to put her in this spot...it just doesn't seem right.

how did Matt Piazzi do? He's this guy I know that does really good impressions and was supposed to be on the last few weeks, but I never watched.

Katelyn Mayer- I'm completely convinced that her parents are Satanists. That they sacrificed a bus load of 9 years olds, and ate their hearts.
(there's no other explanation) Nuttin but String - a one note hit. Not untalented, but I can't imagine them drawing huge crowds. Donald Braswell - humble hottie, might win if he updates his repertoire. Eli Mattson - could win it...has all 3 : looks, yewth, talent. The Fat guy....could win, if he doesn't have massive heart failure beforehand. |

Being that they have been awful 2 performances in a row....it really shouldn't be all that difficult to believe.
That ending was such a disaster...I never thought they'd pick Elvis over baton boy though. |

Damnit, they got my hopes up that America had realized that Queen Emily is not that good.
Jessica Price shouldn't have gone through, although that last spot was just cannon fodder. Jens wasn't any better. They made the right choices in round two, except for Katelyn. Oh, God, it's never going to end. Sad as it was, I think they made the right call about Joseph and Jonathan. I just don't know where Jonathan could take his act from here. So...singers make up 9 of the final 10 this year. I'm hoping for a final four of Neal E. Boyd, Eli Mattson, Paul Salos, and Donald Braswell. |

9/10 acts making it are singers <3333333. It makes me happy since this show pretends to act like any talent can win. Yet it's been singers that have
dominated (all singing acts last year were final 4) and it's basically a glorified American Idol. The only difference is that more diverse acts can
audition like groups and the likes of Terry Fator. The closest we'll ever get to a non singing act winning are dancers or people who play an instrument.
It's never going to be a magician or anything random or unique.
I am hoping NBS doesn't win just because they aren't singers and are desperate for a non singing act to win. Although they pretend Terry Fator was not a singer yet all of his performances were....singing. Coming from someone who has played violin for about 10 years, they aren't that amazing. The pairings that they do (one goes through, one goes home) are so obvious who make it. I totally knew they were faking us out with the Queen/Neal pairing. The only ones that have been surprising are the ones where the judges pick, they clearly don't have a clue on what talent is as it's always random <3. |

Who is voting for Kaitlyn? She is boring, stands in place while singing, looks at mommy and daddy for instruction, says Thank you at everything. Kaitlyn
could go on Seseme Street. She could never hold a Las Vegas show. The autistic black boy singer was more moving/emotional with his singing than Kaitlyn.
Jonathan Burkin -- Baton Twirler was robbed. I wish he made it over Kaitlyn.
My top 5: The Wright Kids -- Singers Neal E. Boyd -- Opera Singer Paul Salos -- Frank Sinatra Impersonator Donald Braswell II -- Opera Singer Nuttin' But Stringz -- Violinists Donald Braswell or Wright Kids for the win. |

Nuttin but Stringz are fucking awesome, those kids are one of the best examples of breaking the stereotypes.

Top 10 shoulda been:
The Cadence Eli Mattson Jonathan Burkin Queen Emily (but girls gotta step it up) Extreme Dance FX (but they would have to mix it up a bit more with some other styles while infusing with clogging) Nuttin but Strings The Large Family --- can't remember their name. When you Believe was a train wreck, but they definitely had potential Sarah Lenore (she's gotta get some control) Neal E. Boyd (lets tak some well known songs and make them his style) ...and some other novelty act thats not singing. |

I have to admit that this season has been really disappointing. Yes, there is talent, but save for Queen Emily and Jonathan the Sexually-Ambiguous Flame
Thrower (ROBBED, by the by) and the drag acts Shequita, Derek/Britney, and Dorae Saunders, I haven't found anyone to really root for. The great thing about
last year's winner, Terry Fator, was that he brought ventriloquism into the new millennium and made it a joy to watch. I think that to win this year, it
will take something similar, though I don't doubt that any one of these acts can headline in Las Vegas... except for that annoying little Katelyn Dawn (oh
wait, wrong show). Seriously, at four years old, Katelyn (while she is cute and charming, I suppose) is too young to comprehend, let alone headline, a
90-minute daily show in the most bacchanal and least family-friendly of glamorous American cities, Las Vegas. She's not even in kindergarten (I think) and
yet she is a contender for "the biggest prize in entertainment history".
I think that if you take overall talent, personality, back-story, and potential into question, the winner should be Queen Emily. If you take innovation (or something close to it) into question, Nuttin but Stringz has it (to my knowledge, you don't see that many African-American men with violins). The Wright Kids should be heading for Branson, and not Vegas. I'm just not as impressed or excited as I was last season. |

I'm a little disappointed that Baton Boy didn't make it. He was good at what he did and I really enjoyed his "Pinball Wizard" act, but I do
agree that it's hard to tell where he could've taken it from there.
I wish The Cadence had made it too :( Pretty little drummer boys. So glad NBS is still in it, tho. I am such a sucker for fusion-style/crossover music and these guys make it awesome; their last performance was electrifying, for lack of a better word. Hoping they take it. I'm going to be annoyed if Katelyn makes it to the finals, though. Yeah, she's cute (and I have to admit I squealed a little when she sang Beauty and the Beast), and she's good for her age, but I definitely don't think she's ready for a 90-minute headlining show in Vegas :/ The rest of her childhood's going to be chaos if she wins it. And I really think the only reason she's still here is because people are like OMGSOCUTEMUSTVOTETHRUNAO!! or something. Most of the other singers are pretty MEH though, in my opinion. I like Eli and Neal and Queen Emily, but the rest I could take or leave. There's just not as much diversity as there was in the F10 last season (still missing Sideswipe D:). |

Eli Mattson is creepy and always sings 9th. I'm surprised he wasn't voted out because of that.
I really hated that David put Joseph Hall through over the batton thrower. The reason is because he sang "Suspicious Minds". That song is always supposed to send you home (Chris Daughtry, Colton Berry). He defied what is supposed to happen. I don't think the reason that most of the Zooperstars had their costume off was because if they had them on, it would take too much time with them walking on and off the stage during the result show. I think the reason is because they knew they would be voted off and they wanted to show what they look like to America. Now what I found is a little bit embarassing. They seem like good looking guys but they are in costumes, shouldn't that be for geeks or ugly people? I think these frat boys should stick to drinking beer.
