I agree that the air band is bull crap. There is alot or real talent that was sent home. As for as the Vets go, no not pity admiration for putting an act together and having the courage to go in front of a large audience and perform. Carlos should have stayed he is great.

Are you people all dumb? Those 'air rocker's' referred to themselves as a 'real band' so for you to say that they made it as a comedy group is going against how they view themselves... there is no way that jumping around pretending to play an instrument is better than any of the violinist... And heck no I couldn't watch that show for an hour, but I could see an orchestra for an hour... those people are actually talented... hence the name of the show... America's Got Talent... not America's Got Mildly Entertaining Acts That Will Get The Show To Stir Up Controversy... Giving 1,000,000 dollars to them would be dumb... the judges know their not gonna win so they shouldnt have put them through

Good thing this is on 'entertainment' and not on pity votes. Would you really be more entertained seeing the homeless or Haiti acts (which for the record, they weren't THAT great) at a Vegas show or have fun watching Airpocalypse at an air concert? They are ALL talented in some way, some maybe more than others. The kid with the bike is mad talented, but would I (you) want to watch that for an hour? Talent doesn't necessarily equal entertaining. Britney Spears isn't necessarily a great or even good singer but she is a great entertainer and there's value in that. These guys aren't a "band" and it isn't up to them how the show categorizes them. And a musician myself, I don't get how other musicians are getting so offended with their act. They aren't trying to be musicians, they are trying to entertain. And for me, I love seeing these guys. And of all the acts this season, positive or negative, Airpocalypse is getting the most chatter. Go air rockers!!!

I am upset that this group went on when more deserving acts went home. I understand what a previous poster said about have acts from different catagories. But let's be realistic. Money talks. They put on the acts that will bring in more viewers allowing them to charge more for commercial time. What other excuse would they have for keeping the terrible impressionist who was even worse at acting out a man getting ready in the morning. That was the last straw. He'll be good tv but a Vegas act????? That was the biggest travesty.

Sheesh, people, Airpocalypse is a comedy group -- not a band group. The hand whistler was a novelty act. Some of the negative responses I have read just prove that many people don't read. READ up on the categories, and READ the rules! This is NOT American Idol. I think the judges made a couple of choices I never would have made; but that's show biz. On the whole, I think they made good choices in accordance with the show's guidelines.

It's a total shame that American Idol producers have reuied the show totally. Sending such crap as an old lady hand whistler and an air band and a old lady who can't sing a note to the top 48 is ludicrus. The the show veiws more sidleline shots than the actual talent. The show no longer interests me only riles me up.

I agree with Beth! Not only the homeless vets, but Carlos Aponte and the boy with the kite would have been better choices. How could they choose the older woman yodeler who went on for ten minutes or the phony magician. The air band had not talent, did not spend years learning to play and finally, should have been in the entertainment category if that's how they were judged, not with other bands. Sorry about Michael Grasso, magician. Very disappointing choices. Another bad choice was the Jewel knockoff who sounded like a wounded kitten.

I was in tears!! These stupid guys make it to Hollywood and the Former Homeless Vet singing group doesn't make it?? What BULL $H!T!!
