1. "RE: Quarterfinal #1" |
AGT Quarterfinal #11. Sean and Luke- Meh I kinda agree with Howard. I think he was a bit tough on them. This was by far their best performance. But with their bad slot they will be forgotten. Enjoy the ride why you can guys. 2. Valo and Bobby- I did not like these guys from their audition. I think they upped the ante. If they had gone later in the night I think they would have a better chance BUT I do not see them moving on. 3. Julia Goodwin- I really like her. Both songs she has sung has been magical. She started great. But when she hit the chorus, there was something missing. Howard equated it with nerves. He could be right but this, while nice, was not her best performance. Maybe next time choose a song that stays at that soft level. I hope she moves on. 4. Baila Conmingo- One of my least favorite acts. They are not together. Worse, they take advantage of the kids. One thing I will say is they do get better with each viewing if they make the finals I may smile once. The real problem though was the staging. You couldn't see anything with the poor camera work and over used strobe lights. The judges love that the adults move to the back to let the kids shine. That should tell you all you need to know. The adults are terrible and the kids are cute. I'm gonna pass but America may get them through, depending on the future acts. 5. David and Leeman- Loved these guys auditions. They were hilarious. Great stage presence. The judges are ruining this act. Howard was right as usual. hey are likable. Their trick is good. But they spent too much time on the set-up. If they had kept it to one judge it may have worked better. I hope they make it but I'm worried. 6. Willis Clan- Another act I don't really like. Their lead singer is great. The rest of them is meh. The istrumentation is great. And the kids were only barely used. BUT that was a horrible song choice. Power of love is not a country song. The judges were right too. (great judging tonight, especially by Howard). They were swalloed by the huge stage. 7. Flight Crew Jump Rope- I love jump rope acts and these guys impressed during judgement week. I am excited to see what they will bring. That was great. The staging was impressive. The timing was great. It was actually beautiful. They really stepped it up. 8. Jasmine Flowers- I LOVE this act. Its beautiful. My family really does not like them. The staging was incredible. It is hard to get excited about an act like this. It will be interesting to see if America gets behind them. I would love to see them move on. 9. Emily West- Probably the worst female singer in the comp left in my opinion. I just don't like her voice. Don't recognize the song either. There are moments that are enjoyable but overall I just can't get into it. I can understand why people like her but she is not for me. 10. JD Anderson- This guy is funny. I don't see him moving on but let's see what he has to offer. He's repeating the ice trick....ok?. If he had done what I thought he was gonna do I would have thrown him all my votes. The show was great but the tricks were meh. The judges love him though. 11. Dan Naturman- Don't remember this guy. reminds me of jerry seinfeld. I'm not a fan of Jerry Seinfeld. The prescription stuff FINALLY made me laugh. He is likable but just not very funny in my opinion. 12. Miguel Dakota- Again not a fan of this singer. I still can not understand when he sings. And the backup singers really carried him. Im glad Howard gave him some constructive critiscism. No way he wins the million. Power Rankings: 1. Flight Crew Jump Rope 2. Jasmine Flowers 3. David and Leeman 4. Julia Goodwin 5. JD Anderson 6. Valo and Bobby 7. Emily West 8. Sean and Luke 9. Dan Naturman 10. Miguel Dakota 11. Willis Clan 12. Baila Conmigo
How America Will Vote: 1. Emily West 2. Miguel Dakota 3. Baila Conmigo 4. Flight Crew Jumprope With David and Leeman and Willis Clan for the judges pick. But I am not feeling certain about any of these. None of the acts were spectactular nor did any bomb. They were all fairly competant. I just wasn't a fan of this group as a whole.

2. "RE: Quarterfinal #1" |
LAST EDITED ON 07-30-14 AT 02:44 PM (EST)Sorry I haven't been updating. Meant to, just have a lot of stuff going on this summer. Anyway, On with the show, this is it! YAY, we've finally gotten around to the real show we all love! Five to move on to the next round. Rockettes! Woo-Woo! 01. Sean & Luke, tappers. I enjoyed the set, it was good choreography, but they are still missing the mark when it comes to tap, IMO. 02. Valo & Bobby, balancing. Awful in a good way! -- ?? Shut up, Mel! This was an awesome performance. 03. Julia Goodman, singer. A couple of iffy moments, but I really (and unexpectedly) very much enjoyed that interpretation of that song, very very nice. 04. Baila Conmigo, salsa dance group. Very enjoyable, loved the energy. Way too many people on stage doing different things at times, and the kids really leave me flat. 05. David and Leeman, magicians. Nice set involving the judges, entertaining but less than impressive magic. 06. The Willis Clan, family band/singers. Not only do the Von Traps have nothing to worry about, neither does the News. No range. 07. Flight Crew Jump Rope. Some impressive stunts, but to me it seemed a bit slow and lacking in energy. 08. Jasmine Flowers, dance crew. Beautiful, mesmerizing, loved every second. 09. Emily West, singer. Strong voice, easy on the eyes, great package. But to me it seemed a bit ... I don't know, just not quite there somehow. 10. JD Anderson, strongman. Good showmanship, very entertaining. 11. Dan Naturman, comedian. Good set, had me chuckling throughout. 12. Miguel Dakota, singer. "Come Together!" Great cover, good interpretation, wish it had been the long version, I wanted mores! For me the top five acts were: Julia Goodwin Jasmine Flowers Dan Naturman Miguel Dakota (tie) Baila Conmigo, Flight Crew Jump Rope, JD Anderson.

3. "Results!" |
LAST EDITED ON 07-31-14 AT 01:07 PM (EST)Okay cool, somehow the Orville Reddenbocca thingamabob is now the Reddi Whip! Pahhhhteee!!! ... thingamabob. How that relates to "poppin'".. ya got me. But, hey, give it up for the corporate sponsors! Canned cream, how appropriate. YumYum. Anyway, tonight we eliminated seven acts, but retained the oh so wonderful Rockettes to dress things up for the rest of the season. YAY, Rockettes! The first three acts Cannon called up to the chopping block were: Jasmine Flowers, Emily West, Valo & Bobby. I was rooting for Jasmine Flowers, of course, but would have been happy with Valo & Bobby. And then Nick announced the first winner this season to the next round... Emily West. Crud. Yeah, I get it, she is easy on the eyes and all that, very Hollywood, yadayadayada. She's not that good, but some part of America wants a stripped down to the buff Emily West 2015 calendar, yeah I get it. Dammit, I really did love Jasmine Flowers. Anyway, the next three acts Nick called up to the chopping block: comedian Dan Naturman, worthless family band the Willis Clan (though I really really would love to support a worthwhile family band), and incredibly worthless tappers Sean & Luke. And gong on to the next round, Dan Naturman. YAY!. Or at least we just got rid of two genuinely lame acts, woohoo. The next three acts Nick called up were singer Julia Goodwin, strongman JD Anderson, and singer Miguel Dakota. I liked all three of these acts this week, preferred Julia -- but we got Miguel moving on instead. America, please, throw me a bone on the next decision, there are only three acts left, give me the two I prefer. Anyway, then Two and a Half Hosts came out to announce the winner of the Today Show final quarterfinalist spot this season goes to Cornell Bhangra, a dance troupe that performs a style of Indian dance. Well, at least their costumes are.. colorful. Anyway, three acts were left, la-mo magicians David and Leeman, off-beat out of sync salsa dancers Baila Conmigo, and low energy but entertaining Flight Crew Jump Rope. Nah, the la-mo magic dorks? America just disappointed me there. That left it up to the judges between the salsa children and the jumpropers, and personally I would have voted for the jumpropers. Heidi voted for the salsa kids, Mel voted for the jumpropers, Howie voted for the salsa kids, Howard voted for the salsa kids. Dammit Howard, the time you really should have left it up to America's vote instead of wasting time as a camera hog kids. Oh well

5. "RE: Results!" |
I was disappointed that Jasmine Flowers did not move on. I really enjoyed them. I don't get the enthusiasm for Baila Conmigo. Their dancing seems to be the same thing just to different music. Was sorry to see them move on instead of Flight Crew Jump Rope.
