I voted for 2 hours too. Mostly for Scotty, but switching to Lauren when I saw the huge lead that Scotty had over Lauren and Haley.

OK, Haley's gone..but Lauren's deserving. However, reading the thread, I'm quite surprised, and a tad disappointed, at the animus and vituperation in many of the comments about her...some even calling her a b**ch..I mean, come on...the thread is getting to be, well..less fun than in past seasons..it's just a silly singing contest, and these are all youngsters..We may need some ground rules, and more self-policing, next season

Il Volo is magnificent. I've known of them for a year, have a CD..never seen them before..FINALLY, a "boy band" I can relate to. The Three Tenors LIVES again..heck..if they ever make a biopic about the THREE TENORS, these guys can play them as youngsters, kind of like DeNiro did, playing the young Don Corleone is Godfather II.

The other act..Nicole somebody..looked like she should be on a stripper pole in Tony Soprano's BadaBing Club

Saw the commercial for THE NEXT BIG THING..Simon Cowell's show..and I think that Nicolle person is one of the hosts/judges? What's it about? Will all TV be a talent show next year?

Whoever wins, I hope that Scotty and Lauren do at least one duet on the CD..they'd be great.
