01. LionDanceMe, dance/martial arts team
I lost interest. Repetitious.

02. Turf, dancer/contortionist
I’ve had enough of him. Couldn’t watch it beyond 5 minutes.

03. The All Ways, rock band
Agree about the singer. The band was actually decent, but he was a low spot. Was he trying to move nonexistent hair out of his face the whole time?

04. Hawley Magic, magician
I liked it a lot but I’m partial to magicians.

05. Lisa Clark Dancers -- X by Howie
Didn’t work for me but then I’m impartial to dancers.

06. Aurora Light Painters -- X by Howard
What a mess. I expected so much more. I just didn’t get it. Even after the story was explained it hovered in ambiguity to me.

07. Danielle Stallings, singer
Not bad. Needs some time, not ready yet.

08. Big Barry, wannabe -- X by Howard, X by Sharon
Really?!?!?!?!? Have to agree with Howard, what a waste of space in the quarterfinals.

09. Donovan & Rebecca, acrobats
Loved it. I’d watch them for an hour. Their three performances so far show a great range for what could just be a one trick pony.

10. Tom Cotter, comedian
Some funny stuff. Mrs. Frank is impartial to stand-ups; she enjoyed it, so that’s a good enough endorsement for me. Plus the competition was weak.

11. Ben Blaque, crossbow marksman
Nice trick. The slowly deflating balloon was indeed a capper.

12. Tim Hockenberry, singer
Agree again. Not my type but will probably get through.

So my final 4 in this round, two favorites, two by process of default.

Favorites:
Donovan & Rebecca
Hawley Magic

Slipped in:
Tom Cotter
Ben Blaque

Tim Hockenberry will probably replace one of them.

I never apologize. I’m sorry, but that’s just the way I am.
