Thoughts:

1. Lukas & Falco - That was way better than their first audition imo. Still not great at all, but I guess I understand why they moved on. Would have preferred Matthew.

2. The Orange Magician - Surprising full audition. It was an enjoyable performance. Obviously not good enough to move on, but it was entertaining.

3. Berywam - That was a very good performance. I was not expecting them to move on at all, but I am glad they did. It will be interesting to see how they do in the live shows. I hope America likes them.

4. Emerald Belles - That was a pretty good performance. My only worry for them is that it will get repetitive. I doubt they will make it past quarterfinals. I have a feeling Howie might buzz them. They should not have made it through over Matthew.

5. The Sentimentalists - That was way better than their audition. However, I understand why they got eliminated. Their presentation is really weird. They would not have made it very far in the live shows. Nowhere near as good as The Clairvoyants.

6. Duo Togni - That was a good performance. Them lifting Howie was funny. I understand why they didn't make it through, but it would have been cool to see them in the live shows.

7. Sophie Pecora - Agree with everyone else. Terrible golden buzzer. I think she wins Dunkin' Save in Quarterfinals, and is out in Semifinals. Maybe bottom 4 of Quarterfinals though.

8. Matthew Richardson - Completely robbed. I would put him through over any act in this episode except for Chris. I think that he is pretty much a lock for a wildcard, unless a bunch of good people are robbed in the next three episodes. The judges seem to like him though. I wish he had made it through.

9. Chris Klafford - I think this was the best act of the night. Chris will probably make it to the finals if he keeps doing songs like the two he has done already. That was an amazing performance.

10. Messoudi Brothers - They definitely stepped it up from the auditions, and I am glad that the judges put them through. It will be cool to see how they will step it up in the live shows.

11. Ndlovu Youth Choir - Definitely not as good as their first audiiton, but still an entertaining performance. I am glad that they made it through. I think they have potential to get a lot better in the live shows.
