'''It's been a while but I figured that I could get back into AGT now that I'm on summer break. '''

'''1. Greg Morton - As a HUGE fan of Star Wars, I found his act to be very enjoyable. I think we can all agree that his act wouldn't nearly be as funny if it weren't for his facial expressions. He's certainly talented but I don't see him making it pass Judge Cuts. If he's continuing with this movie impression gimmick, he's going to need to pick movies that the general public is aware of. If the audience does not know who he's impersonating, his act falls flat. I know this is a problem with all impressionists but I feel like it's especially true with Greg.'''

'''2. Eric Chien - This is the 3rd season we've had an Asian magician on the show and they've never failed to impress me. Even Will Tsai's Judge Cuts round wasn't that bad imo. Anyways Eric's act is much more in line with Will's than it is with Shin. Both perform the whole visual illusions thing which at first made me skeptical considering there were those rumors about the producers using editing for Will's act. Obviously what makes Eric special is the fact that he's still new to the industry which in turn makes his talent seem more impressive. He doesn't have the charisma of Shin but I could still see him going far in the competition depending on the skills of the other magicians.'''

'''3. Sophie Pecora - Like everyone else has been saying, I have huge respect for her message and bravery. The song was an original which is always nice to see but overall I found the audition to be lacking. Compared to other young singers like Angelica. Grace, etc, she's not that impressive technically speaking. The added rapping plus the fact that it was an original kinda reminded me of Chase Goehring who I had mixed opinions on throughout the show. I know these are unfair comparisons to make and she still has plenty of room to grow. I definitely see her making it to the quarterfinals and maybe semifinals if she improves.'''

'''4. Patrizio Ratto - Definitely one of my early favorites so far. His personality is likeable and I enjoyed both the surprise and dancing. Like the judges said, contemporary piano music and the popping/locking worked well together. I admit I'm personally biased since I highly enjoy both forms of entertainment. Now that we know what his act is, I'm interested to see what he does next. If he is able to bring something new to the table like Kenichi than he could totally make the quarterfinals but it's more than likely he'll be eliminated in Judge Cuts.'''

'''5. V. Unbeatable - Undeniably talented dancers, seriously the fact that there are kids in these acrobatic crews never ceases to amaze me. I also enjoy the unique sound of Indian/Bollywood music and I'm glad they used that instead of some modern trap song. Very good use of the bamboo poles as well. One turn off I have is with their story, the whole "we come from a poor country" storyline has already been done prominently with Just Jerk and Junior New System and tbh it's getting old. That doesn't take away from their talent and I know that India is by no means a perfect but I do have my doubts on the extent these conditions have on the crew. Definitely making the semi-finals if not finals.'''

'''6. Jackie Fabulous - Comedians have it rough on the show and nowadays female comediennes arguably struggle even more. I found Jackie to be fairly funny, some jokes hit others didn’t. She has elements that made Preacher and Vicki funny but she’ll likely also suffer from elements that make them both unfunny if that makes sense. It’s hard to predict immediately how far a comedian will go on the show, so far she doesn’t seem like one of the big favorites yet. Then again neither did Vicki and she was still able to make the finals. I see Jackie making it to either quartefinals or semifinals.'''

'''7. Gingzilla - I feel like we all have that slight feeling that this is going to be cringy whenever a drag act comes along, I sure did. Gingzilla is just as flamboyant as past acts like Hans even less so if anything. His voice is pretty good though, better than even Sophie imo. He was entertaining for what it’s worth and the going back and forth from the stage was kinda funny. Either Judge Cuts or Quarterfinals but you never know with acts like him. '''

'''8. Human Fuse - I feel like these huge danger acts are always used as a way to hook in ratings and clicks. We’ve all been desensitized to it and I think the only time I’ve liked an act like this was with the Daredevil All Stars and Bello because I knew they was capable of doing much more. Daredevil stunts like these may be exciting in the moment but it only lasts for a brief moment and the editing just takes all the suspense away. Probably going to be one of those “one time appearance” acts but will definitely not make it pass Judge Cuts.'''

'''9. Kodi Lee - We’ve had disable people come on the show and sing before whether it be blindness or deafness. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve never seen a person who’s mentally disabled/autistic to that extent sing so well. It’s not the best singing I’ve ever heard but it’s certainly better than what most regular functioning people could do. He truly is the definition of talent and the Golden Buzzer was deserved imo. He’ll definitely make the semifinals at least and has a high chance of making the finals.'''

'''Overall my favorite act of the night was actually V. Unbeatable. I liked Eric and Patrizzio but I’m still unsure of how much they’ll be able to step up their acts for the next round. I just hope Eric doesn’t get the Will Tsai treatment. V. Unbeatable despite the pushing of their “sob story” were very entertaining and as long as they remain consistent (which I think they will), they’ll definitely be frontrunners.'''
