dabo 26412 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-05-14, 11:40 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Quarterfinal #2" LAST EDITED ON 08-05-14 AT 11:47 PM (EST) Well, it was a less than stellar night on AGT, hate to say it. Maybe I'll have my votes figured out by the time I finish writing this. 01. Hart Dance Team. The dancing really seemed very good from what I could tell. But the whole thing was horrible TV, they really need to get off this camo theme. 02. Loop Rawlins. Pretty nifty cowboy act, thought he performed well and did some remarkable stuff. Not normally my thing. But Howard schooling Mel was "off the chain!" 03. John & Andrew. The gay/straight thing still works for them, and it was a remarkably difficult routine. But it somehow seemed more like pairs floor routine than dance. 04. Livy, Matt & Sammy. "Fat Bottom Girls" is a rocker, there's no other way to do it, that was really meh. But boy Howie sure can lay on the bull. 05. Andrey Moraru. Awesome hand balancing! This guy is physical poetry, I was blown away. 06. Juan Carlos. X by Howard, and he deserved it though I thought Howard was a bit quick on the draw. This time Juan took himself seriously, it just wasn't funny. There's a difference between comedically taking yourself seriously like Inspector Clouseau and just being a fool. Pass. 07. Mara Justine (12). The singing seemed a bit flat at first, but then she picked it up and finished strong. Still raw, but much better than her audition performance. 08. Aerial Animation. I really wasn't expecting much from this act but it was vastly improved over the audition performance, I really enjoyed and got into it this time. 09. Jaycob Curlee, the hardluck singer. That was ... nice. I suppose. Lame actually. 10. Mat Franco. Oh my gosh, how did he do it, that was such an amazing trick!!! Same way they always do it when they get a volunteer from the audience or in this case involve a couple of judges in over-acting. Very disappointing. I've had it with this guy. 11. Derik Santos. I laughed ... once. Flopped as far as I was concerned. 12. Acte II. I thought the opera duo seemed to have a case of the nerves and it showed, but they buckled down and powered through so good for them. My top five acts for the night .. hm Andrey Moraru, he really must move on, best of the night Mara Justine Aerial Animation Loop Rawlins um ........ Hart Dance Team Tomorrow night, the return of Lindsey Stirling! "hip hop violinist"!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

EJConroy 2 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 08-07-14, 00:05 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Quarterfinal #2" I've actually been watching since the beginning of the season, but I didn't feel like there was too much to talk about before now. And so... Jaycob Curlee: singer He just doesn't do anything for me. I mean, he has a great voice, just like hundreds of other guys who didn't make the cut. I hope I tap into what makes this guy special in the weeks to come. Aerial Animation: aerialist I LOVE this! I LOVE her! In an abstract way she's reflecting Kenechi from last season, except instead of taking it high tech she's made something more human. I hope she can keep it up after the very high bar she's set for herself. Livy, Matt & Sammy: band I love these guys. I mean I could really listen to them and their creative tunes. Apparently America didn't agree, and it's not a surprise. I'm pretty certain this trio will be signing some kind of deal very soon. Mat Franco: magician Boom! He's taken the familiar card trick and escalated it into a whole new kind of act--one where the personality of the performer is pivotal. Not to mention he really gets me stammering "How did he DO that?" John & Andrew: salsa duo Two dancers coming together for one act of elegant energy--that's what these guys were to me. I hate to think America let their genders get in the way. Loop Rawlins: wild west act I'm sure this is really great stuff for what it is, but I'm not sure I understand what that is supposed to be. Personally I appreciate the skills but I don't yearn to see a wild west show. I definitely wish him all the best, though. Andrey Moraru: hand balancer Now this guy took the aggregate skill of every other hand balancer ever on AGT, made it supremely masculine while keeping it graceful and fluid, and then added an artistic element that gave him an exciting background without interrupting him. It's like the art form has finally arrived. Darik Santos: comedian What happened? I thought he was good previously, and then he choked. I kept wanting to laugh at something, but nothing was there. What a shame. Acte II: opera duo It's sad but bad stage production and horrible musical choices did these two in way more than lack of talent. Juan Carlos: novelty act (theoretically a dancer) I agree with Howard. That this self-deluded clown took up a slot that could have gone to someone else is outrageous. He should go to retirement facilities and parties as pure silly entertainment and be glad to make people smile. Hart Dance Team It was a cool routine...the first time. After last night I think everyone could see what we were in for in the future. Ironic how everything centered around a box... Mara Justine (11): singer I liked her before the production goblins got to her. Last night she was obviously trying to be herself within acceptable performance parameters. She lucked out this week--I hope she gets back to herself in the future. Whatever happened to Leonid the Magnificent? Hmmm...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

EJConroy 2 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 08-07-14, 00:10 AM (EST) 4. "About the "desperate attention whore" postings..." I don't know what triggered this, and I can imagine it must have been something pretty bad. But I really don't appreciate having "desperate attention whore" attached to my name, especially since this here is only my second posting. Hey, no postings, no message board. Maybe you can come up with a less hostile way of expressing your frustration?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dabo 26412 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-07-14, 07:52 AM (EST) 5. "RE: About the "desperate attention whore" postings..." Welcome aboard! I had the same objection at first. Don't even know why we need a counter. It has been part of the site programming since the beginning in 2000, and it is on every post that everyone has made here. Please don't take it personally. It is actually a reference to the glory hounds who appear on reality TV shows. We generally shorten it to DAW or DAWs.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dabo 26412 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-07-14, 08:26 AM (EST) 7. "Results!" LAST EDITED ON 08-07-14 AT 08:27 AM (EST) Hey, it was great seeing Lindsey take the stage again! Wish she'd been in competition this week. The first three acts Cannon called to the firing line Hart Dance Team Derik Santos Andrey Moraru Great, the kids who play hide n seek, one of the bombs of the week, and the hands down best act of the week. Don't let me down, America! WHEW! Andrey moves on to the next round! Good job, America. Next up were Jaycob Curlee Juan Carlos Ugh, a mediocre singer and another bomb of the week. America decided we liked Jaycob best, he has such a great backstory. Then it was Aerial Animation Loop Rawlins Fine, two of the acts I voted for this week. And my two votes for Aerial Animation trumped my one vote for Loop! Yay, me! Then it came down to Mat Franco Livy, Mat & Sammy Between the two I really don't care, and America decided we prefer mediocre magician Mat to the music kids. Livy should have competed as a solo singer, she really does have a nice voice. That left three acts to face the music, so Cannon had to eliminate one before sending it to the judges. Say good-bye to May/December role models John & Andrew. So the judges had to decide between Acte II and Mara Justine, and let the sobbing and begging begin! I really hate that Queen For A Day part of the show. And poor Mara, the kid looked like she was collapse and have a nervous breakdown no matter how things turned out. If she can't handle the pressure she should maybe consider withdrawing from the competition. The judges made it quick, Heidi and Mel and Howard all voted for Mara, and fortunately Cannon went over to her and gave her a living prop to latch onto, poor kid. Good on ya, Nick.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

undercovermonk 13 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 08-07-14, 05:35 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Quarterfinal #2" AGT Quarterfinal #2 Sorry I'm a bit late but I have famiy visiting. I thought the lineup was great but we had a few duds mixed in. still gonna be a tough call. Thank god 5 are moving on this year instead of the usual 4. 1. Hart Dance Team: The first of some very awkward staging this evening. I thought they were interesting the first time but as I predicted the surprise factor was huge. The mirror idea could have been cool but with all the lights it just made it impossible to see on TV. Their dancing is good but nothing special except for that girl who spun for a year and a half there at the end. But with lackluster comments from the judges and a bad draw I think we may be saying goodbye to the girls. 2. Loop Rawlins: Awww I'm so bummed he got such a bad spot. still he made the most of it. opting for whips and a Giant lasso as opposed to the small one. I was almost more impressed. The power and control it takes to weild that is insane. Also I'm tired of the judges saying an act can't be a Vegas show. First off, if that is how they feel why send them through. Secondly as Howard said you build a show around the act. Wild West shows, while not in their hayday, are still extremely popular and would fit quite well in the dessert oasis that is Vegas. Love this guy and would like to see more. 3. John and Andrew: I like these guys and they are very talented. BUT I admit it did feel repetitive and I did get bored. I have seen many dance pairs excite and light up the stage. D'angelo and Amanda made it very far last year doing just that. These guys did not step up their game and with some heavyhitters still to come I think they may have danced their last salsa of the season. 4. Liv, Matt, and Sammy: First off horrible act name. Second and more important why were they in the middle of the audience. I see what they were going for; an intimate setting similar to a coffe shop. However, it killed the acutics. I think these guys have a nice sound but a poor song choice and bad direction killed any chance they had. They were definately not ready. 5. Andrey Moraru: So apparently this guy made it through automatically (as did smootini) but neither were shown in judgement week. NOT COOL NBC!!!! I was having a heartattack that 2 of my top 5 auditions did not make it. Luckily they did and man di he impress. I think he has a chance to win it all because as several people have said its just so darn beautiful and breathtaking. Not much else to say he got a bunch of my votes. 6. Juan Carlos: And to cleanse our palette of awesome we have Howie's 2014 ridiculous pick of the year. Seriously it makes me mad I even have to type up a review of this act. The only thing funny about it was the pictures of Juan's face in the backgrou nd. Stupid. Lame. But we do need fodder acts. 7. Mara Justine: Oy Vey!!! One of my least favoite acts. This girl does not sing. She just yells. This is not talent. I think she really showed her weakness when she had to start off soft. The act did get better as it went and she did actually hit a few notes. With training I think she could actually go somewhere but she is not ready for this stage yet. She went early enough that she may get left behind but I bet America votes her through. Sigh. 8. Aerial Animation: This was another one that went straight through. Like Hart Dance Team I was worried she would be a one trick pony. BOY WAS I WRONG! SPECTACTULAR! Her animation was better. Her aerila tricks were better. Her story was better. Everything was 100 times better. Way to raise the bar. The only thing I worry with her is that she will run out of ideas. But I said the same thing about Kenichi last year and he didn't hopefully she can do the same well done. 9. Jacob Curlee: Another act I did not like. I still don't. But I disagreed with the judges. I thought this was his BEST performance yet. Not great but good. I just wish he wouldn't harp on the sob story. Howie needs to shut up. You must judge only on the talent. Or at least you should. anway I would be ok with him moving on instead of some other singers I will be getting to..... 10. Matt Franco: Smoothini light. I actually think he steeped up his game tonight. With magic it's all about the presentation. even if I can figure out how he did the trick, I can still enjoy it if its well presented and this guy knows how to do that. a middling magician but I do love magic so sure; would love to see him advance. 11. Darik Santos: I love this guy. Dry humor and puns are right up my alley. This wasn't his best set but I laughed throughout. America does seem to love comedians but I'm not sure if they will vote him. Threw a couple votes his way for support. If you guys are not watching you should check out Last Comic Standing. Also on NBC. Very funny group this year down to the final 4. 12. Acte II: Final acte of the night. What a bummer. I could not believe these two made it past the audition phase. just because they sing opera loud does not equal talent. Same problem as original performance. One lady sounds good the other horribe and they have 0 blend. But America loves its singers and beig at the very end almost guarantees a top 5 finish. Gonna have to listen to these two butcher another song. All in all a very up and down night. Now onto the power rankings. My power Rankings: 1. Aerial Animation 2. Andrey Morau 3. Loop Rawlins 4. Darik Santos 5. Matt Franko 6. Jacob Curlee 7. John and Andrew 8. Hart Dance Team 9. Mara Justine 10. Liv, Matt, and Sammy 11. Acte II 12. Juan Carlos How America will Vote: 1. Aerial Animation 2. Matt Franko 3. Andrey Morau 4. Jacob Curlee with a judges pick between ActeII and Mara. I just know at least one of those two crap acts are gonna sneak in and steal Loop's spot. Watched results show before getting to post this. Its sad how America totally nails my low opinion of them. At least the judges picked Mara over horrid ActeII. Next week could be a slaughter. I like over half the acts. As long as Sons of Serendip make it I should be able to survive the week.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
