Neal E. Boyd performs in "America's Got Talent" final five tonight

Several months have passed since the whole country was introduced to a singing talent the people in Southeast Missouri have known about for years -- the tenor from Sikeston, Mo., Neal E. Boyd.

It was June when Boyd made his first national television appearance on the NBC competition show "America's Got Talent." Boyd's was the final performance on the season's first show, and the judges immediately declared him the competition's front-runner. Since then, many other acts have been named "front-runner," including some that Boyd is now fighting for $1 million.

And in the weeks that have passed, Boyd has changed from singing opera to taking on popular music in classical singing style.

Last week we found out that Boyd was indeed one of the five finalists on "America's Got Talent." Tonight we'll see his first, and likely only, performance as a member of the final five when the show airs at 8 p.m. local time.

We'll lead a live chat here on the "America's Voice" website, where you can also leave comments for other Boyd fans and detractors and watch video of all the tenor's live performances.

Voting by phone and Internet begins at 8:55 p.m. tonight. To vote by Internet go to the "America's Got Talent" website. To vote by phone look for each contestant's specific phone number during the show.

And if you miss tonight's performance, check back at "America's Voice" late tonight or early Thursday to get the scoop on how Boyd, and his competition, did.
