Something screwy happened with my recording for the pilot episode at the end. They started showing the intro to Darci the Ventriloquist, cut off, went to a commercial, and then came back to show her again.
Anyway, I'm all in for Darci. I'm glad she got Mel B's Golden Buzzer. There are some great clips of her on Youtube with other puppets too.
Id love for Bello to come back. Didnt care much for Puddles. The wife loves him and knew who he was before AGT. Id be good with the Masqueraders coming back too.
Im thinking either the kidney transplant girl, the deaf girl or maybe the redheaded kid that sounds like Jason Mraz may win it.
Of the singers, I like the adults: Puddles, The Masqueraders, the Subway Singer, the burnt lady, the deaf lady and the redhead dude. I think the redhead dude is most marketable for a lengthy career with broad appeal to the biggest demographic. He could take it this year.
All of the magic acts were lame this year ... nothing original or compelling. All are lackluster.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I kinda' like the animal acts (the family with the poodles and the single lady with her two dogs). But not for the win.
The danger acts were interesting, but people seem to be only talking about Bello.
The group dancers or couple dancers just seem to blend into each other ... to me. Except for the group with the French dude's amazing contraptions. That could be the big winner, if not a singer this year.
My spidey sense is telling me that the producers (including Simon) may be trying to engineer a win for a non-singing act this year.
Or did AGT producers play games. Turn on a spotlight that should have been off. Some of us think AGT wants a singer winner. Contractually Simons company has representation rights.
Very upset that the roller skating brother and sister did not make it through (and yes, I did vote for them, and no, I did not vote for the woman and her dog(s) - )

I thought that the brother and sister roller act were fascinating, but really, once you saw it . . . . Not much more could be done with it--it felt like a wondrous and fascinating novelty act.
Speaking of dog acts, did anyone else notice that Pompeyo Family Dogs got the one Wild Card entry into the Semi-Finals? Note that the act got picked over The Masqueraders, which got more votes on the live show the two acts were on (The Masqueraders were in the 6-8 group; Pompeyo was in the bottom four). My gut says that somebody wants both of the dog acts in the Vegas show; the only act that "has to" be there is the winner. In both of the previous years, the third, fourth, and fifth-place acts were passed over in favor of a lower-finishing act (Piff and Tape Face, both of whom finished in the 6th-10th range).
And really, AGT - pulling the "neither of you" bit on Yoli Mayor and Johnny Manuel? (And if you look at Simon after the two names are announced, it looks like he's counting the number of acts still on stage - six, including these two - and realizes what is about to happen, since only two of them, and almost certainly the two that did, are going through.)
Can we vote Mel B off the show? Actually, shouldn't a big criteria be could an act go on for an hour or so? I mean the skaters seem to be the same thing and some of the singers are not that great.
Preacher over the choir is a bad joke. He's gotten worse with every performance. The dog act over the roller skaters kind of sucks too but they both do the same stuff over and over so whatever. The final 3 were arguably the worst 3 of the entire show, especially that hack magician. In short: the producers suck.

Exactly and as someone who was a pretty serious roller skater back in the 80s (I used to compete), its not THAT impressive. Its more of a strength and finesse thing than any kind of skating skill. You see kids at rinks going around in a circle like that all the time. Its not like I expected them to break out into any kind of artistic skating but I mean, youre just going around in a circle over and over. I really hoped they would go before the semi's.
If either dog act wins, Im not watching the show ever again. Hero and his human are nothing special. How theyve made it this far is mind blowing.
Personally, I find so many of the acts fascinating, as great 1-trick-pony acts (and I don't mean that pejoratively at all). The sorts of acts that I would love to see combined into a good, old-fashioned circus.
How much do we think Diavolo (team of dancers with large movable pieces) has invested in sets already? I'm thinking the $1M prize, if they win, was already spent! They remind me a great deal of the Le Reve show that I saw at the Wynn years ago.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the boy robot dancer and I find his performances mesmerizing but I don't feel the fan support for him.
I am clearly slightly tone deaf because I didn't enjoy the deaf girl's performance. She is sweet, but her voice is not one I find interesting or compelling.
The dog family. No. Just No.
Thoroughly enjoy Light Balance!! Highly entertaining to watch. I'd love to see them and Diavolo have a joint show to have a balance of slow motion beauty and high energy. Up, down, Up, down, salty, sweet all night long

You're confused. Many of the AGT acts are already established and successful. Look them up on Wikipedia. We're not watching routines designed specifically for AGT.
Diavolo is currently celebrating their 25 anniversary. The performances we're seeing have been years in the making.
Jacques Heim founded, and is the chief chorographer of Diavolo. He was hired by Cirque to chorograph Ka, Vegas show.
His grandfather, same name, is credited as the coinventor of the bikini.
I've somewhat enjoyed robot boy before but last night I thought his act was boring. The dog act was horrible. Kechi and Mandy, sad back stories but average, at best, voices. I didn't think Guardino was all that good either. Both girl singers have far better voices than the adults. The military guys I've never thought were good, if they weren't military they would/should have been gone a long time ago. I enjoy LB, it's something different and unique. Diavolo is entertaining.
I've only been watching since Simon started judging, but the family dog act must surely be the worst wildcard ever. It looked like most of it was the same act as before with different costumes, and they couldn't even get it right this time.
LOL:thumbsup:. My 13 year old sat there watching and said the same thing. He started calling out what they were going to do before they did it. "Conga line" "Dog jumping through hoop". The only one he missed was "dog jumping from ladder into arms".
I haven't finished last night's episode yet, but I did want to mention that Evie Clair's father died. It is going to be really hard to watch her perform next week.
Yeah I don't understand the dog act as a wildcard when there already is another dog act in the semi's, and now finals. Obviously voting is all very subjective but if this dog act gets voted through tonight it's a travesty
I felt so badly for the dog act family last night--the dogs just were not in a cooperative mode. At first I thought I might just have been misunderstanding what was happening, and then it became amusing.
I preferred Cloud's trick when I first saw Derren Brown do it (and Brown did it much better).
