My Opinions on Episode 4

DaNell Daymon & Greater Works: They've certainly got energy, but it seemed like they're leaning solely on the (fairly talented) soloist here. They could go to the live shows, but who knows. Jay Jay Phillips: Eh, fine. I'm indifferent to it. Light Balance: I heckin' love these guys, especially since I saw them on BGT a while ago. They deserve that Golden Buzzer to no end, and I'm relieved Tyra didn't pull the same shit Nick did last year. Just Jerk: It was certainly good...but there was something about it that I wasn't crazy about. Maybe it was the serious lack of movement for a dance group? I don't know, something about it bothered me. Celine Tam: She's great, but she's gonna have some serious competition with a certain other 9 year-old female singer. Men with Pans: Christ, I didn't know AGT was NSFW! Joking aside, it was strange and stupid, yet I couldn't help be enamored with the concept. Though, I have to point out, the KriStef Brothers already beat them to the "overtly homosexual acrobatic duo", no matter how they did it. The Godfathers: That was damn insane! It was great, and I wanna see more. Tom London: Damnit, I can't decide who my favorite magician is this season! First it was Will Tsai, then Tony and Jordan came along, now this guy? Bello Nock: Death-defying, but I don't know where else this can go. Also, it's notable to point out that his brother was part of the AeroSphere Aerial Balloon Show: not that I care that he was part of the most boring Top 60 act in Season 8 anyways. Darcy Callus: Good, but forgettable. Probably fodder for the Judges Cuts. Evie Clair: Pretty good, but not the best singer as of now. I would say Christian Guardino or Angelica Hale the best "singer" singer so far.

I think I've decided that I like Tyra. Before I explain, hear me out for a sec. She may not be nearly as entertaining, nor does she have as much showmanship as Nick, but she knows how to connect with the contestants more. Staged or not, she acts very supportive towards them, even going as far as to ease them in sometimes (Yoli Mayor, Evie Clair).

Also, praise her for having the best Audition Golden Buzzer pick in a while.
