so how we can know? nobody explain this on the program besides, why write semifinal, so it is quater finals,
and where is the proper english?
You must have not watched the beginning of the show. Regis said that this was the first of four semi-finals shows. There was 61 acts in this semi-final and there is no way they could do that in one two hour show. Duh! That is why there are FOUR SEMI FINAL SHOWS. The judges vote one act into finals and then America votes the other act in. For you all that tune in the middle of the show, maybe you should record it and not channel surf back and forth.
Proper english? Maybe you should reread your first sentence and use proper english because that sentence did not make sense.
