Mel B was SO annoying tonight. She basically complained about every act except for her own golden buzzer. I mean seriously. She buzzed Lord Nil for no actual good reason, she called Mochi’s song choice “meh” and she said that she didn’t get 99% of the acts tonight. Yet she LOVED We Three after their disappointing performance tonight. She absolutely annoyed me and everyone who was in the room watch AGT as well.

Anyways, enough ranting on Mel B. Let me discuss this episode. This episode basically cut our predictions into pieces. I’ll state my opinions on each act, and give my Top 12.

Mochi- I had my doubts about Mochi, but he slashed those doubts with his performance tonight. He was INCREDIBLE. The amount of practice it must take him to do what he does is mindblowing. One of my favorite acts of the night. (Also thanks Simon for buzzing Mel’s pointless “advice”)

Human Fountains- They were entertaining, yes, but took a step in the wrong direction when it comes to how their performance played out. It wasn’t as funny or interesting as their Judge Cuts performance was. Major letdown. [X]

Angel City Chorale- Not a lot of people seem to like the,, but I adore them. They always entertain, and they don’t have awful singing skills either! Not as solid in terms of singing as their JC and auditions were, but the choreography was stepped up and I liked the addition of the drummers marching in through the doors.

PAC Dance Crew- Wait, that was Charlie and the Chocolate factory? What?! That didn’t even come close to reminding me of any movie I had seen. Dancing was uninteresting, did not enjoy them. Very choppy overall. [X]

Amanda Mena- Idk why she even got the golden buzzer in the first place. She has a great voice, but it should’ve really gone to someone better. She had a good performance tonight, but didn’t leave me wowed and I forgot about it by the time commercial break was over.

Junior New System- Much better than PAC was. They had some sick choreography tonight, but Howie was right. They need to keep the high-heels or they aren’t as special as they would be without them. Still enjoyable though.

We Three- Oh my god, what did they do? They were great in Judge Cuts, and now we get this as a Live Shows performance. They were okay, but they weren’t that memorable. They should stayed together as well. I didn’t like the idea of them being separated.

Lord Nil- WHAT WAS MEL B THINKING?! I mean, if she really cares about this guy’s life, then she should wait until he finishes his act before buzzing it like a moron! She didn’t even give a valid reason for buzzing it besides “it scared me ahhh!”. That being said, he had a strong performance tonight. I loved the idea of both him and his wife relying on each other; made it feel more dramatic. He almost drowned though.

Flau'jae- I felt as if her performance was weaker than her JC performance. Her song was great, but it wasn’t as good as her other ones were. I still appreciate her talent as a song writer and rapper though.

Shin Lim- His performance was a little bit weaker than his previous ones, but unlike everybody else who followed this trend, he still was amazing. Can’t wait to see what he does next.

Vicki Barbolak- I find her to be very underrated. She was hilarious tonight, just as she was in her previous routines. Maybe I’m weird, but I enjoyed it throughout the entire routine.

Courtney Hadwin- Jeez, this girl is talented. Great singing voice and stage presence. The dance moves could use a little work but she was much more interesting than Mena and Flau’jae were. She’s definitely safe in this competition, and she will go far. Very far.

My Personal Top 12 1. Mochi 2. Courtney Hadwin 3. Shin Lim 4. Vicki Barbolak 5. Lord Nil 6. Junior New System 7. Angel City Chorale 8. Flau'jae 9. Amanda Mena 10. Human Fountains 11. We Three ( biggest surprise of the night) 12. PAC Dance Team
