Cheers to America's Got Talent for saving the best for last - and living up to its name. The final act of the NBC show's overlong Season 3 opener, Neal E. Boyd, blew the roof off the joint. The 32-year-old insurance salesman from Missouri belted out Puccini's "Nessa Dorma" like the love child of Ruben Studdard and Luciano Pavarotti. I could've done without the weepy backstory about being raised by a single mom, but there's no denying Boyd's got a gift. If only I could say the same for that cross-dressing Britney Spears impressionist.
