How could anyone put a thumbs down, that's just cold blooded & rude! GREAT job everyone, don't worry about the jealous "thumbs down" person!!!!
Love the contest.. But "world" championship AND the anthem of the USA? Come on..
Pickles and Ice Cream should’ve won first place. Hers and Paul Orsi’s rag were the better ones presented here.
BRAVO ERIC!!!!!!
This is Max — I've always liked this one too .
Excellent contest. Enjoyed Bill and Adam as hosts and pianists. Loved Eric Marchese' s rag and Bill's performance.
