Let me introduce you to your Top... how many again?
On the last day of performances, Mookie totally nails "These Eyes." Omar tells a very sad story about his murdered brother and emotes his way through Burton Cummings' "Break It To Them Gently."

Here in the Top 200, there are many old favourites (can we call them that yet?) on display and plenty of new faces as well, and most of this episode focuses on great performances with very little behind-the-scenes drama, so I best get cracking.

From his early days doing stand-up comedy -- appearing on Star Search and the groundbreaking HBO series Def Comedy Jam -- right up until 2008, Martin Lawrence has been making people laugh. Sure, his audience may have changed over the last 20 years, but he's still starring in #1 movies (look no further than last year's Wild Hogs).
There wasn't much in the way of good auditions last night, but the bad auditions are vastly unworthy of comment, and so I'll just introduce you to the gold ticket holders you may or may not catch a glimpse of in the Top 200.
