Leonid was so funny! My husband and I even recorded just his performance so that we could watch it over and over. He is entertaining but I don't think that he is really worth a million bucks. Although, I would vote for him just to see him again...and see what he comes up with next.

do the judges have to insult the participants?
may be lionel it is not the best for the million dollar prize, but certenly his show last nigh was entreteining and very good , i would like to see one of the judges if they can do all this acrobatic staff! anf the cube? probably he would be a very good las vegas show, I do not think they had to be so hard to him and insult him this way, anyway even if they were the 3 of them passing his audition at the end, they would choose who ever they want,it is just only one that they choose, so this press of the bottom with x is meanless! and some times i do not understand there standrds, you can see that what lionel does it takes a lot of hours of practice and it is not soemthing that you learn in a couple of months. in the other hands you have the group of sweet and spice, yes they are very pretty and cutes girls and like they said they probably would be very good if the practice a little bit more, but there are not way that you can give them the aprovel of 3 judges and nothing to lionel becuse it is a fact that what lionel did it is much more difficult and more elaboration that this beautiful girls did.

all this people that arrive to the finals, they arrive beacuse they did something good , so it is not necesay the insults!

I agree. He was very entertaining & would be great in Vegas.
I know Regis didn't mean it when he said "Leonid is taking it like a man tonight" but it seemed to be a slip of the tongue on Regis' part. People laughed & it didn't seem nice.

If Bobby Badfingers is Piers' guilty pleasure, Leonid is mine... that guy rocks. From the pics of him in the review at "Beacher's Madhouse" in Vegas, he has a lot more variety to his act. Don't know why, but he mesmerizes me.

He definitely is unique, and I know what you mean about being mesmerizing. He is just so out there you aren't sure what he is going to do next. He did seem to take everything really well tonight.

(I did feel sorry for the guy that had to sit behind his hat though - lol)

I liked him too. I wish I'd been able to see his second performance. I'll bet he's a lot of fun to be around.
