It takes exactly zero talent to rap so shouldn't that make "Rappin' Granny" ineligible all together? What a joke to put a complete waste of time through to the finals. I can only imagine what was going through the heads of all the other performers who've actually put forth real time and effort into their acts.

I haven't seen any acts on this show that can actually be labeled TALENT.

This show is a disgrace to AMERICA, because if this is our representation of "talent", it sure does look like America doesn't have any!!!

PUT ON SOME REAL TALENT!!!

Stop putting on the little kids and complaining that they're voices aren't mature enough. The judges see these acts the day before, they know what they're going to see. And yet they put through the acts and give them bad reviews. Why put these CHILDREN on and say their voices aren't mature enough when we have ADULT singers who have the mature voices to sing, and sing absolutely amazingly through instead!!! Jesschelle got JIPPED!!! Put her on the show and you really WILL here REAL singing talent!!

...and people doing elaborate dance and acrobatics on stilts isn't talent?

... not when they fall.

Granted, I know it's must be really hard to do that (I wouldn't know since I have never been on stilts before), but in this stage of the game, little mistakes like that are HUGE!

Not sure how the open auditions works but there has been way too much conversation that a lot of these acts were recruited. Too many Vegas performers to be a coincidence.

Stand in line like everyone else. I would hope that American Idol isn't running to talent scouts in the area and saying "send us your best"...but maybe I'm wrong.
