So a talent meaning they can do it easily, you cannot. Yes Fator is a GREAT talent. So happy for him.
I actually followed this competition over the summer against my better judgment. Frankly, I am sick of talent competitions dominated (a) by singers (is no one else talented?)(b) by pre-pubescent girls who paint themselves up and scream out adult songs, or (c) alleged 'singers' who thing that groaning and moaning the syllable 'ahhhh' is singing. That is why I was pleasantly surprised that the ventriloquist/impressionist/singer actually won over the ubiquitous young ladies . I thought the 14 year old should have stayed home and if I wanted to listen to somebody (i.e. 'Butterscotch') spit on a microphone I could go to the local emergency room. The 1-2 finish of Fator and Cas was a breath of fresh air. I think either artist could have won.
Could not agree more..
'Snickering across the pond?'
Only by pretentious psuedo-intellectual snobs.
Strangely enough-- the same people who gave us Benny Hill!

why do all of so called talented Brits have to come to the U.S of A. to make it big. Its about time thier snobbery is kept across the pond. Let them have thier tea and crumpets. I'll stick with coffee and donuts.
Simply amazing. While it sounds pretty old fashioned and something from the 'Ed Sullivan' era, this guy is by far the most talented ventriloquist I have ever witnessed, including Candy Bergman's dad and wooden brother. You have to see him perform to really appreciate his talent.
Ps. The Brits should think about ventrioquism---they could perform and hide their gross teeth!
Cas should have won. Truly disappointing finale.
I think Obama barack's wife should have entered. She got the move.
This dummie ain't telling G.W.Bush . he's GOD?

Look it's the contestants for next year !
not the other way around. That's politics not entertainment. Let's not go there politics is whack !
A puppet over Cas? Are you kidding me? Without the puppets Fator would be nothing. When he did most of the singing during one of his performances (while his devoted puppet looked on)the judges didn't like it and neither did anyone else. I am through watching this show - for real!
The brits should be familiar with dummies. They have all of those totally useless royals as puppets.
The best performer won, and I didn't think Cas's voice was anything other than ordinary. On a whole, this show didn't have outstanding talent - just a lot of side show types, and it was difficult to watch the Hoff without picturing the little video of his eating habits! And what qualifications do those judges have to begin with?
Terry is a great talent and deserved to win. I met this guy years ago and he was good then but man o man is he great now. My hats off to Terry and friends -- very refreshing
Terry Fator to me personifies the type of person who makes me proud to be an American. Let the Brits have the snooty remarks, but don't forget it was two of their own who voted Terry through the competition. Terry has diversified talent as an impersonator, ventriloquist, comedian and vocalist. I think his humble presence is very endearing. He entertains to any audience. His clean cut appearance and morally uplifting performances speak volumes for America's choice to return to old-fashioned values in entertainment. There is much to be learned from this competition. Good luck, Terry. Thank you for many weeks of entertainment. I hope that you will always be the person you are today. My best to Winston.
I never thought of a ventriloquist as being capable of anything other than a slapstick comdey act. Terry Fator created an act that often touched the audience's hearts. While he is indeed a ventriloquist (and a heck of a lot better one than Edgar Bergen, who never really did anything other than talk for his dummies with his lips moving), he has created an entirely new and different way to use that talent. I am also a fan of Paul Potts, who won the British version of the show. Both of these performers are amazing, and I was very pleased when they won. I'm not a big opera fan, but I sure could appreciate this cell phone salesman's incredible talent.
I think if they had switched places, Potts could have won the American competition and Fator could have won the British.
