 * 1) GForce - Probably the worst song they’ve done so far. The larger production somehow made it even more cringy than it already was. Some people will like the fact that it’s cringier but not me.
 * 2) Greg Morton - I thought he was great, he used the stage very well. His voices are well done as always and he’s overall a lot more fun to watch than most other impressionists. My issue is whether or not some people will be able to recognize the voices he's doing. That might be the make or break but personally for me I don't mind.
 * 3) Carmen Carter - Agree with the judges on this one, did not like the song choice. She’s already showcased her powerful vocals so this performance really didn’t show anything new imo.
 * 4) Emerald Belles - I’m glad that what I said last time came true as the bigger production and new camera angles allowed them to be much more cinematic than before. 
 * 5) Sophie Pecora - This is her weakest performance so far imo. The guitar riff and the lyrics didn’t go well together. As many have stated, it seems like it’s more of her talking than singing. She’s not untalented but could use a little work.
 * 6) Messoudi Brothers - I love these guys and I hope a lot of other guys out there do as well. They definitely have the girl vote and for good reason. Not only are they beautiful but incredibly talented. The bar for them is already set really high so that’s probably why Simon was underwhelmed. I feel like this was a good enough improvement for them to go through. They can add the fire and spikes next time. 
 * 7) Voices of Service - Really liked this song choice and the choir made it a lot better. They’ve consistently done well and the song choice is really what made them stand out against Carmen last night.
 * 8) Ansley Burns - Out of all the acts that Twitter was outraged about, why her? I think her biggest problem is always the backing track as it ALWAYS overpowers her and tonight they had adult vocals backing her for whatever reason. I feel like this is often the case for kid country singers. However, Simon is right in that her overall stage presence is great for her age. She just needs time to hone her skills.
 * 9) Alex Dowis - He’s become one of my favorites now. Definitely talented but also a definite underdog. I do somewhat agree with Simon and would’ve liked to see the narrative implemented a little sooner. I feel like there should’ve been a louder applause also because it kinda through me off. I was getting worried Simon wouldn’t get it and buzz.
 * 10) Luke Islam - He did great. Good song choice reflected his vocals well and the bigger production of the Dolby is perfect for Broadway-esque acts like him.
 * 11) Bir Khalsa - There might not be a lot of danger acts this year but it’s all about quality over quantity. This is probably one of the best danger acts we’ve seen on the show in a while. I was a bit worried they wouldn’t be able to step it up but boy was I wrong. Everything was top notch. The chainsaw got so close to his mouth, that’s insane even if the blindfold was off. The fruit bashing also seemed more forceful than before. The dudes also have great showmanship, a lot of times danger acts will focus too much on danger and lack showmanship or vice versa. Also the music was dope, if someone has the song please share it.
 * 12) Kodi Lee - Amazing as expected. Someone who’s an expert on singing could explain it a lot better than I do. However like Pennies said, I'm wondering if he has reached his peak.

'''For the results, I think Kodi and Luke are the only locks. GForce, Ansley, Sophie and Emerald Belles are probably in the bottom 4. Messoudi Bros and Alex are receiving pretty good receptions online but I hope Simon’s criticisms didn’t screw them over. Voices of Service were the best non-GB singing act tonight and I think everyone recognizes that. My middle 3 then would be Greg, Carmen, and Bir Khalsa. Bir Khalsa is probably going through regardless of if they get the Dunkin Save or get chosen by the judges. I personally think Greg did better but I could see it going either way tbh. I could also see Alex being in the middle 3 replacing Bir Khalsa. My picks would be Bir Khalsa, Alex, Messoudi Bros, VOS, Kodi, Luke, and Greg.'''
