AMERICA's GOT TALENT 7
apskip:
I am ready to share more of what I think no specific teams in the AGT7 semifinals:
Sharise and Maurice Hayes - ho hum
Scott Brothers - smooth, but so what
David Garibaldi and the CMYKs are in- truly innovative
Edon - ugh!
Turf- I don't like him; double-jointed moves just don't do it for me
Tim Hockenberry- what is he doing in the semifinals; just another singer like many from past AGTs
Tom Cotter - YES!
Donovan and Rebecca - one of the most exciting strength acts around
Jacob Williams - OK but so what
Lightwire Theater - electric, likely to go far
Untouchables - in over their heads
All Wheel Sports- exciting but so what
Olate Dogs - excellent
William Close - the ultimate in innovation
Joe Castillo - not bad, but not good enough either
Eric Dittelman - how does he do it?

Tonight was the YouTube talent episode and there wasn't much evident. The comparison between the average talent per act on the regular route to the semifinals and the YouTube shortcut made the shortcut look insignificant in comparison.
Tonight I had these acts I rated as A-:
Bria Kelly, country singer (can you imagine me finding a country singer at the top of the talent heap?; the sky is falling)
Academy of Villains, dance troupe with an edge
The two acts I rated B+ were:
Clint Carvalho and his Extreme Parrots
Romeo Dance Cheetah, air guitar (I liked it despite the low opinions it got from the judges)
Here are the acts I rated as B:
Reverse Order
Rudy Coby
Drew French singer/guitar
Eric Buss, visual comedian
The Magic of Puck, magician
Cast In Bronze, carillon player
There were 2 acts that were particularly uninteresting and rated B-:
7 In Unison, dance troupe
Melinda Hill, comedienne
My prediction is that all 4 of my top 4 acts above will get through. Pitted in #5 will be some act like Drew French who should not go further.

The winners of last night's YouTube show were:
Bria Kelly, country singer
Academy of Villains, dance troupe with an edge
The Magic of Puck, magician
In the #4 vs. #5 voting by the judges, Clint Carvalho and his Extreme Parrots topped Drew French for the 4th spot advancing to the semifinals.

One of the advantages of living in New Jersey is that one can get tickets for performances at the New jersey Performing Arts Center, where a variety of such performances happen. The rub is getting tickets. I sent in for one AGT ticket a long time ago and the first one they offered me was this coming Tuesday. It will be an exciting time to be there.
It's the Wild Card round where 12 acts previously eliminated get a second chance. NBC is holding a vote for who should be on that show. I don't know how far back that was going on, but I do know that it is now moot. The judges have spoken. These are their selections:
Ben Blaque Stern Crossbow Performer
Todd Oliver Stern Ventriloquist/Dog Act
Horse Stern Nutshot Taker
Spencer HorsmanStern Escape Illusionist
All That! Osbourne Cloggers
Lindsey Norton Osbourne Dancer
The Bandbaz Brothers Osbourne Acrobatics
Jake Wesley Rogers Osbourne Singer/Pianist
Jarrett & Raja Mandel Comedic Illusionists
Sebastian "El Charro de Oro"Mandel Singer and Mariachi Band
Cristin Sandu Mandel Balancing Act
Andrew De Leon Mandel Opera Singer
What was Howie Mandel thinking when he brought back 4 inferior acts? Sharon Osbourne did an outstanding job with her picks. Howard Stern got it right except for Horse, who is the wrong role model.
