Hi Ophra I hust want to ask this question 1 more time . Was there a confirmation method used to let us know if our video was submitted properly ? A friend who insisted on putting it on never got a confirmation that the video had got in. He tried 2 times but got afraid of the double rule about only submitting it once,So I,m begging you to please put me out of my mysery and let me know if at least you got it ok ? tx so much.But thinking positive allowed me to dream that just maybe I had a chance to be in that winning number and for that I,ll never forget the experience and I thankyou so much for the opportunity .Your staff did an excellent job for I can only imagine what they musta went thru to go thru all those videos lol to find those eight luckiest finals. Kudos to all and my favorite the big teddy bear lol sry can,.t remember names but # 8got my vote. Ophra your the greatest You just keep on giving and god is gonna continue to bless you tx again tdowtin9

Hi Oprah:

My favorite and the person that I think won the challenge is contestant #8, Abraham.

Even if he doesn't win your challenge, he'll be picked up by someone. He has an amazing ability to

sing and stage presence.

Love, love, love him.

Good luck to everyone.

Love Lynn

I am wondering how many of these contestants will end up with someone offering them contracts.

I wondered the same thing!

Isn't it amazing that a plumber, a youth mentor, and someone who can't even find a job now have this amazing opportunity?? A month ago, they were probably just doing their everyday routines, and now BAM! A chance at their dreams!

Oprah, please don't stop! You are one of the lucky people who get to give people their dreams on a daily basis, and how wonderful that must be!

I believe that wonderful talent has been chosen. Unfortunately there can only be one winner and the world knows that Abraham McDonald has been blessed with a talent out of this world. So everybody tune in on Nov 12th and vote for Abraham.

In response to tdowtin9, I got a conformation for my boyfriends video ,but not mine. I think the next time they should give more time and thought to how they will get these in. The deadline was two weeks getting the plans all together to be scheduled took a whole week to find out where we were going to tape all these. Then It should have been more time to let a couple more diverse people to view all videos This takes Americas Got talented about 3 months to do. A friend told me that this is what she had to do to get her video she didn't find out for about 6 months. this is giving everyone considerable looking at. this was too quick of a pick and I really don't think they had enough time to give considrerable thought . I think mailing might be better, because not everyone is blessed to be able to have internet and a computer. I know a lot of my friends had others do it for them.

Well Guys and girl ,

You all know the saying that is famous, "it is not over tiil the fat lady sings" I would like to see denny win hhas alot of potential in my book. His voice is tremendous and you can tell he puts his heart into it. Not a lot of vocal mistakes which is nerves but he over came a lot of it.

Each contestant brought something special to the contest and I was excited about each finalist who made the cut. However, I was extremely touched by Abraham's voice. Have you ever been at a funeral and you did not began to cry until the soloist sang? Well this is the feeling I felt when Abraham began to sing. I cried. His vocal cords touched that inner nerve that boiled up my tears. Good luck and God bless to all.

Please bring back Anna Harrington for the finals! My guess is, if you asked Ashford & Simpson, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Gladys Knight for a "judge's pick", it would be her! She had the curse of going first which always makes one miss out on viewes AND votes. She was AMAZING!!!

I agree that Abraham is The Best! What a powerful voice. He reminds me so much of Luther Vangross. Hope he wins!

I think that Donnie Denny should be the winner. He may be a plumber but he has a voice that will touch a lot of people and one that should be heard. He is wonderful. He puts "feelings" into his music and it is just beautiful. The others are good and should get a contract with a company. But Denny is my favorite.
