Charlotte Summers: I think the kid has a great voice and she’s or something going for her for sure, but damn was this song choice not good for her in the slightest. I think she could definitely slip through on a night like this, but I definitely didn’t feel this performance, and neither did Simon and Howie.

Nick & Lindsay: You know what? This was a disaster, but at least it wasn’t completely miserable. It was so-bad-it’s-good, such a damn catastrophe that that’s what really spoke to me in the end.

Chris Klafford: I personally thought he did good, but definitely a step down from previous performances. He’s got a good chance of advancing, but I do hope he realizes that he needs to have a performance like his Judge Cuts to get back on track properly.

Marina Mazepa: I thought it was cool! Nunchucks bit was really awkward though. Don’t agree with the buzz here.

Robert Finley: What a great song sung by a great performer. It definitely wasn’t perfect but the performance spoke to me, and he’s just such an exuberant, powerful soul. Best of the first half of the night.

The Sentimentalists: That was awful. I genuinely feel so bad for Steffie Kay, you could tell she was trying to just get through the act without the judges continuing to slow things down or disprove their magic. She seemed to be more wrong then right, and all the while Howie ate their set. It sucked, and unfortunately they were the worst of the night.

Ryan Niemiller: He did a great job and I think he’s genuinely really funny. I can always appreciate a comedian with a chaotic aura like him.

V.Unbeatable: WHEW. Totally incredible. Easily the best of the night.

Joseph Allen: He’s such a nice, sweet dude, so it’s a shame that, while this song was heartfelt and well-written, he wasn’t exciting and didn’t shine through with his talent enough. It stinks, but he may be in danger.

Light Balance Kids: Another notable step down. I do feel bad that one of the suits just flat-out didn’t turn on—something definitely beyond their control. But they have potential to do something great like their Judge Cuts, so I do believe they deserve to advance. But they may be in trouble.

Tyler Butler-Figueroa: I’m not particular hyped about his violin playing skills, but he did a good job and I think he’s good to advance tonight.

Ndlovu: What a shockingly great song choice, they were so much fun and they sounded great! Probably the best live performance from an AGT choir in recent memory.
