The oriental dancer was amazing the first few times you saw him. But last night he just about showed you in his second performance that he is running empty now.

The country guy? Just another country guy. These guys always get into the finals and I can remember one guy winning, the chicken farmer guy, who was just a terrible country singer. This guy is good and he has the look which is the most important ingredient in country these days.

Camy is a great looking girl with a nice voice. She might win.

The comedian is not funny. Not being funny as a comedian is a bad flaw.

Well just my two cents. Forte has been amazing each and every week they could not do anything else to improve their performances.
First of all - this is 2013 - we don't use the phrase 'oriental' any longer.

But I can see that guy producing a watchable 1 hour act in Vegas. He has lots of imagination and he would have the resources to produce something more stunning in that environment.

I do see the others having limited appeal. The magician was relatively lame IMHO. The country guy has a chance at reaching an audience (especially since he can write his own material).
