Some of the truly best, most entertaining acts are gone already. I wasn't excited about most of the performances last night. I think Linkin' Bridge was the most improved. The Clairvoyants do up their game each time. As to the rest of the performers: I don't think Brian, Jayna, Kadie or Calysta had their best performances last night. Simon's comments for Calysta were not as effusive as for her previous appearances, but I think she will get through somehow because it would not look good on Simon if only his Golden Buzzer doesn't advance. It's a toss-up for the rest. Who gets through will depend on the fan base. Considering what happened last week, I think the number of Twitter followers and YouTube Likes for each act (from the quartrefinals) are a pretty good indicator of who will be in the top 5. This doesn't mean the most talented acts will be in the finals, and if there are 5 or 6 singers, next week's show could be quite boring.
