And the Branford's Got Talent finalists are...

Three performers make it through to Sunday!

It was a scene of high drama that saw two performances cut short -- one by a broken guitar string, one by an overswell of emotion.

But in the end, the three finalists to move on to tomorrow's Main Stage performance are young, scene-stealing vocalist Mattie, similarly young Ryan Peter Murphy (who drew influence from Frank Sinatra for his act), and singer-songwriter Darren Barker.

Barker performed Neil Young's "My My, Hey Hey" and was halfway through an original song when his guitar string broke. (Fortunately, he'll have another chance to finish it tomorrow.)
