Well, America voted, and unfortunately after the stellar show last night that meant we'd have to be saying good-bye to many worthy acts.

The top three acts voted through by America:

06. Todd Oliver, ventriloquist.
08. Sebastien "el Charro de Oro", singer with band.
11. Andrew de Leon, singer.

Thanks, America, that's two singers and one of the acts I voted for last night. I'm not tremendously surprised or anything, I expected that one of the singers would make it to the next round anyway.

Then the Judges choice came down to:

02. All That! clogging group.
10. Lindsey Norton, dancer.

Lindsey was my favorite act this week, the one I voted for the most. Then the judges made their picks, Howard voting All That!, Howie properly voting Lindsey, then Sharon forced to pick between two of her wild cards sided with Howard in making the wrong choice. Oh well, we say so long (again) to

Spencer Horsman (the other act I placed votes on), Jarrett & Raja, Jake Wesley Rogers, Cristin Sandu, Bandbaz Brothers, Lindsey Norton, Ben Blaque, and a kick in the rear to Horse.

(America at least got it right by not voting through Horse, but that was the most predictable thing that I knew would happen this week.)
