Happy that Forte is in the finals, but sad that Branden James will not be. Otherwise, very, very happy that Kienchi will be in the finals. And happy for Taylor as well. Otherwise, not that excited about Cami or Jimmy. And as much as I’ve enjoyed the magician, today I read that people are accusing him of stealing the trick from another magician who performed on Ellen not too long ago. If that’s true, it leaves me hoping that he will not win. I really do not think he stands a chance of winning anyway.

Louise – I’m with you. Didn’t want to see Cami or Jimmy in the Finale. I was rooting for Catapult and KriStef Brothers instead. Oh well…. My Forte is there so I am happy.
I never heard that story about Collins Key. Do you have a link to the original comment about his trick being lifted from another magician?

FORTE is through, yeah! Agree with you Louise about the other 5. Interesting about Collins – hope it is not true as I really like him. Loosing Catapult and the Kristef Bro’s make the finals less interesting. America loves their singers I guess or the story line (Jimmy).
