After Last Nights Performances

My Rankings and Thoughts

Advancing

1.) Grace VanderWaal (5 Votes/Standing Ovation)

This was by far and away her best performace, she is one of two locks here and rightfully so, she also blew everyone away. Grace will be in the Final 3 of the Finals along with Laura! Nuff Said! One of my Favorites!

2.) Laura Bretan (5 Votes/Standing Ovation)

Like Grace, This was By far and away her best performace, one of the two locks here and rightfully so, she blew everyone away, she will end up in the Final 3 of the Finals! Nuff Said! Also one of my Favorites!

3.) Jon Dorenbos

Now THIS is a how a golden Buzzer act should perform (take notes Sal Valentinetti), outside of Grace and Laura, Jon was by the far the best and Dominated in by far his best Performance, another strong constant, This is why Ne-Yo gave him his golden Buzzer, I think he is a strong #3 and is a dark horse to win it!

4-Dunkin' Save.) Blake Vogt

You talk about by far and away your best Performace, he did abslutely that last night, I loved it alot, I think he has a strong shot at getting in, he will definitly be no lower than 6th but no higher than 3rd!

5-Won Judge's Choice.) Tape Face

While last night was not his best performace, however he has been strong all season long and his overall body of work which fans do take into account and matters, his unpredictability will help him and I think he gets that 5th and final spot but I also would not be surprised if he was left out!

Eliminated

6-Lost Judge's Choice.) Lori Mae Hernandez

She was under alot of pressure, she has yet to have a Great Performace....Until Last Night! Where was this all along Lori? She definitly was the most improved and this was by far and away her best and first great performace, however she got lucky in the Judge's Cuts and Quarterfinals, she definitly has a case for one of the 5 spots, but I think it will be too little too late and I think her luck finally runs out tonight!

7.) Deadly Games

While not their most Dangerous, it was their best performance, if a Duo/Group/Family is going to advance it will be Deadly Games and dont be surprised if they get revenge on Lori Mae Hernandez tonight, they will definitly be fighting, i loved it!

8.) Malevo

They had their best performace, they will be in the running for that 5th and Final spot, but there are 7 other acts that i feel are stronger, I hate to say it but even though Malevo will not go down without a Fight, I think this is the end tonight of their Epic Run!

9.) Edgar

Alot better than their Quarterfinals Performance, and I do mean alot, but pales in comparison with Most Others, It will STILL be the end of Edgar tonight!

10.) Musicality

Their First Bad performace and they picked the WORST time to do it, It stunk and its going to cost them big time! All of their others were good but this was Terrible! Tonight is the end!

11.) Sal Valentinetti (X/Boo)

His performace was alot worse than Quarterfinals and was the worst of the 11, his semifinal performace was flat out Garbage, and I DO Mean Garbage, he was basically saying the same thing over and over. Frank Sinatra would turn over in his Grave if he sees this! I think this is an Absolute slap in the Legend's Face! He has overachieved as he got worse and worse. Having the Golden Buzzer and Bye WILL HURT Sal Valentinetti. His Bald Headed Fan was angry last night before the performace. That Bald Headed fan of his will be even more Angrier at Sal after tonight! (This is the ONE Act that I want to see gone the most!)

Overall, Grace VanderWaal and Laura Bretan are Locks at 1 and 2!

Spots 3-5 Will be a war between these 6 Talents; Jon Dorenbos/Blake Vogt/Tape Face/Lori Mae Hernandez/Deadly Games/Malevo

Edgar's fate is sealed at #9

and Musicality and Sal Valentinetti are the only two mathematically eliminated as the bottom 2!

And there you go!
