Here are my thoughts on Semifinals #2

V.Unbeatable: Like always, they were absolutely terrific!

Dom Chambers: I like him substantially better than Eric Chien and even Shin Lim because he does bigger scale tricks and has a longer shelf life in places like Las Vegas, however I feel that his trick wasn't necessarily the best executed.

Luke Islam: He is a good singer and definitely did not deserve buzzing by any account, however he has the sad misfortune of probably getting a lot of his votes stolen to Emanne.

Lukas and Falco [X]: I don't care if it's a "cute dog act", in my mind, if you make the semifinals on AGT, you should NOT make as many mistakes as Falco did. That for me warrants Howie's buzzer and makes Simon deluded. It was a fine dog act by all accounts but it sure as hell doesn't deserve a million dollars.

Chris Klafford: I thought he did amazing with another killer song, but I sadly think he will be eliminated against the sheer mammoth competition tonight!

Detroit Youth Choir: I am glad that they brought it back to their roots and incorporated rap back into their routine, however they I feel are in the same boat as Chris whereas they did well but will likely be swallowed up by the epic level of talent.

Alex Dowis: What an amazing tribute to 9/11. It was emotionally resonant, beautiful, flawless and this could easily be a show. This guy has his claim staked for the finals.

Marcin Patrzalek: He did a very smart thing and toned down the slapping and percussion in his perfomance. Because of this I think he will get more votes. And he also did stellar as well.

Emanne Beasha: Yeah she is definitely going through, but for me again like Jackie Evancho before her, her "voice beyond her years" shtick is jarring to me so I am not being as ecstatic with my comments on her as the judges were but she is undeniably talented.

Ryan Niemiller: Hysterical! There hasn't been a comedian on AGT in a while that has made me smile/laugh throughout their entire routine and Ryan did it for me. Man he did so well!

Voices of Service: I will not get into my beefs with this group on this forum and reserve it for another forum so I can fully vent, but all I will say is that I think they are going through.

Overall a STELLAR night of talent and it's super hard to think of just five from this batch but I will give it a try.

V.Unbeatable, Emmane, VoS, Alex Dowis and Ryan Niemiller are my five!
