Decided to do it with the other live shows so far

Season 11 Quarterfinals 2

1. The Clairvoyants 2. Steven Brundage 3. Calysta Bevier 4. Viktor Kee 5. Sofie Dossi 6. Kadie Lynn 7. Sal Valentinetti 8. ThroWings 9. Moya Angela 10. Sos & Victoria 11. FLIP 12. Ryan Stock & AmberLynn

Notes: The Clairvoyants and Brundage far outshone Sos & Victoria in their performances. ThroWings was buzzed by Simon and praised by everyone else. FLIP was virtually known to no one before the quarterfinals. Ryan Stock was injured.

Season 11 Quarterfinals 3

1. Grace VanderWaal 2. Brian Justin Crum 3. Kadan Bart Rockett 4. Edgar 5. Blake Vogt 6. Malevo 7. Linkin' Bridge 8. Ronee 9. Julia Scotti 10. The Passing Zone 11. Alla & Daniel 12. Vello Vaher

Notes: 5 of the 8 top contestants were musical acts. The Top 3 are among the most popular in the competition. Alla & Daniel and Vello Vaher were both relatively obscure (and the latter unpopular), and both were buzzed.

Season 11 Quarterfinals 3

1. Grace VanderWaal 2. Jon Dorenbos 3. Sal Valentinetti 4. Tape Face 5. Laura Bretan 6. Edgar 7. Malevo 8. Deadly Games 9. Lori Mae Hernandes 10. Blake Vogt 11. Musicality

Notes: Blake and Musicality didn't step it up. Sal somehow redeemed himself. Lori was better her than in the quarters. Deadly Games changed it up. Edgar went back to mediocrity after a flawless quarters performance. The fan bases for VanderWaal, Dorenbos, and Tape Face were evident here.
