Just got booted, not quite fair.

They came in 4th.

They are great. Have a wonderful future ahead of them.

Good results! The top two came in First and Second, My lovely wife and I are happy.
Finally talent other then singers won.

The others can still use this as start of career, most have.

Forte will have a very very successful career with the right agent guiding them. Just hope they return to TV every so often to entertain the locals.

The top two acts were by far the most original and creative acts on the show and you cant take that away from them...especially the final winner. The comic I thought had an over-blown ego.

The Magician (even at age 17) can be a name show act TODAY in Las Vegas. Very surprized he was the 2nd to go......and the country singer .....although he deserved to be in the final 6, I thought he was weak in the semi's.

Forte was better early one, but after replacing one singer, they were on a downward slide.

Don't forget if you want to see the top acts live, the show starts in FL beginning of Oct in FL. Go to nbc.com/agt for tickets. They travel the country now, not just Vegas

America is a great melting pot. Only in America can you have a show called Americas got talent and only 1 of the 4 judges are actually American. You get a winner who has been in America for 20 years but hardly just discovered. He has won at least 7 times at th Apollo and was grand champion one year ... He is very good and overall probably had the most talent. I am not sure he is an American citizen or not. But it makes no difference.

What a country.

Yikes!! I thought the magician was probably the worst act I've seen anywhere in many years (ever?). Can you imagine sitting in Las Vegas and watching this guy for an hour? The only thing disappearing would be the audience.

I think Forte may have screwed themselves up with their final song selection. Not that many people know or appreciate opera... and their choice was not exactly well known. They might have pulled it off with a known song tailored to their talents. "Some Enchanted Evening" or perhaps "The Impossible Dream" come to mind. Anyway... doesn't matter now.

The magician was very good. And only 17, I would not have been able to perform like he did at 17.

He would now be great as part of a variety show, hone his craft, finish school. All magicians have tricks to get the right result. Saw David Copperfield in Vegas many years ago, saw how he did his tricks, have not seen much from him since.

That's because he stays almost entirely in Vegas doing sold out shows every day. Actually that's 2 a day and 3 on Saturday! He's been at the MGM forever it seems.

I think the right person won AGT. Not sure the comedian deserved 2nd though. He needs a lot more material.

David Copperfield used to do TV Specials, walking through Great Wall, making elephant disappear, those are gone.
I think Taylor on AGT has material, but is limited to the short period allowed. His mannerisms are an act to make one think he does not know much.

exactly - but that doesn't mean he's faded at all. This happens to many performers (i.e. Celine Dion, Sinatra from the old days and even Elvis to a point). They become so big that they can just stay put in one city, VEGAS, and make all the money they ever dreamed of without all the hassle of travel or doing numerous tv shows. A lot easier life for this level of performer.
