Also...to be honest, I actually really like Makayla Phillips, mostly because of her personality. I dunno, I just kind of like that she's an average teenage girl that's a diehard fan of AGT and likes to sing. No sob story or anything, she just wants to sing and is a fan of AGT. Ironically, that's pretty unique for a Golden Buzzer lol. I think while that does make her unique among the Golden Buzzers, it also makes her the most boring in my opinon. She’s good but not Golden Buzzer worthy. I agree that she's not really Golden Buzzer worthy, even though she is good. More like someone that I'd totally be friends with :P At the very least, though, I find her more memorable than Amanda Mena.

Also, I disagree with you, JoeKerr. Sob stories are pretty boring and predictable, and every Golden Buzzer singer this year had one EXCEPT Makayla. I guess I can't really blame the acts themselves, since these stories are milked by the producers to garner attention and views. Still, at least it makes her stand out (although Michael Ketterer's story was pretty great, too. More of a "tears of happiness" kind of story). Yeah I agree that the producers are making the show way too focused on the story and it's cool to see an act that doesn't have one succeed. I just wished we could've had a little more variety and not just a bunch of singers. Yeah it’s getting super old. No stories, or at least shorter stories, would be great. Acts with sob stories wouldn't easily beat acts without sad stories and more acts could get more screentime. But I can see why the producers are milking the stories. People do want to know more about the acts they're voting for.
