The first 4-week segment of competition is over at Stables in Bay City. Five singers got their "gold ticket" into the Michigan's Got Talent July 2nd Finals.

Kevin Sackit, Joe Atchinson, Jessica Rex, Lauren Thomas and Drew Brady all received high praise from the judges, who openly admitted that more than five of the competitors deserved a pass to the Finals. "We're going to pick five Finalists after every 4-week segment," said head judge Dick Bork. "Some didn't make it tonight but they will certainly get in during the next elimination rounds," Bork said.

"It was a good night for talent," said, judge Tommy Anderson. "We had outstanding performances," Anderson went on. "Just about everyone seemed to nail their performance tonight."
