Watching the preview for this week's episode again, I think it's very likely the Golden Buzzer act is Calysta Bever (http://www.sent-trib.com/news/local-contestant-on-america-s-got-talent-episode-on-tuesday/article_64142406-34c3-11e6-b2c2-cfe4f2f50879.html). She is a singer battling ovarian cancer. Assuming she is that GB act, I'm disappointed four of the five audition GB's are singers... I really hope Nick can mix it up!

Good Girl - I thought they were really forgettable. I think Linkin' Bridge is both more memorable and more talented.

Youngster, DesiHoppers, Miniotics - We saw too little to fairly judge. They all seem like fodder though.

The John Rothman Dancers - Ugh, I hate when terrible/mediocre acts like this get through. We are having so many (Jose & Carrie, Charlie and Rose) this year that I fear we are in for a lot of disappointing results in the next round

Russian Bar Trio - Just as talented as we remembered them. I can see them making it far like Sandou Trio, but I think they are smart enough not to make any big mistakes like the whole piano fiasco

Kadie Lynn Roberson - With Grace and Laura both already in the live shows, and both of them way outshining her, Kadie will be relegated to live show fodder. She's not bad, but we get a girl like her every year.

Duo Guerrero - Really really talented, but I can't imagine how they will step it up.

OneVoice - They are a second-hand Musicality that got screen time because of a prom ask. They're gone next round.

Josh Waldron, Al Ducharme - The few jokes we heard from them were really good! Unfortunately, they will probably lose out to D.J. and Lori in the live shows. Or who knows, we could get another Gary Vider situation?

Lori Mae Hernandez - I thought her joke about Donald was really standard (maybe it's because we are already so inundated in this culture with DT jokes that everything that can be said has been) and the rest of her set dull. But, her story and talent for a kid her age will probably get her to lives though.

Miranda Cunha - Her singing was good, but she got through to spite a judge. She's gone next round unless she can focus less on gimmicks.

Marian Mulock - She got relegated to zero judge interactions and strictly to set up another act. I thought she sounded decent, so that's too bad. She's a goner.

Viktor Kee - Really solid audition. With his Cirque experience, I can see him stepping it up in really creative ways this year. I think he will be a surprise contender. That being said, jugglers have a mixed history on the show, but he seems professional enough not to mess up. If Jon & Owen - The Passing Zone make traction this year, Victor could have a tough time.

Sal Valentinetti - He seems like a less talented Landau with a focus more on confidence than humbleness. He was fine, but the weakest Golden Buzzer of the year by far.
