Awesome. I thought the little girl was going to win because she is... little.

His first performance. His semi-final performance.

This is my lifelong dream, says the singing salesman.

I call "manufactured drama". Seriously.

I love that man. His singing, I mean it's no Pavarotti, but it gives me chills the whole time. Best of luck to him.

Don't care if it's fake, I love it.

Having watched this show entirely from YouTube, I must say I was rooting for the baton-twirling kid.

Sorry--I meant to say baton-twirling kid.

Yeah -- Craig Womersley, the Billy Elliot of the show!

I'm glad. I liked him.

I liked the baton-twirler too, and two of the breakdancers (Scott & the kid with a baseball cap).

With editing they can manufacture drama out of a disagreement over what to have for lunch.

But this guy's dreams are for real. Hope he can take his talent somewhere now.
