My Thoughts:

Henry Richardson: It was a good trick, if a little too simple. I'd take him over Kadan Bart Rockett on any day of the week, though.

Maxim Popazov: It was surprisingly simple for a danger/hand balancing act, but this kind of simplicity was simultaneously intense enough to be entertaining.

Maria Popazov: I liked it a lot, actually. This is good contortion, but contortionist acts don't usually do well unless you have a bow.

The Masqueraders: Linkin' Bridge and The Texan Tenors had a weird love child. Joking aside, it was good, but nothing amazing.

Sara Carson & Hero: I liked it a lot! We seem to be getting a ton of animal acts this season (we're at 5 now I believe), and this is the best so far. Maybe it's BGT syndrome, maybe it's a coincidence.

Johnny Manuel: He's the best < > singer on the show: he doesn't have much of a heartbreaking story, just pure talent. He was terrific.

Sirqus Alfon: It was quirky, fun, the acrobats are charismatic, and it reminded me a lot of the Sideway Scenes from Whose Line Is It Anyway? It was really cool to look at and it was purely entertaining. They could be a major dark horse if Simon lets up.

Final Draft: Pretty good, but I don't remember much of them now.

Oskar and Gaspar: I absolutely adored it for its visual prowess and presentation, but is it an act? Is it talent? Can more be done with this? They have to find a good way to answer these questions, or they're stuck as Sila Sveta.

'''Unfortunately, I missed both Eric Jones and Xavier Mortimer. I'm pissed, because I remember watching Eric on Fool Us and I absolutely wanted to see Xavier tonight, praying he would redeem himself from his fuck-up two seasons ago. Lemme know if you guys can find any videos of them, or just tell me what they did, because I haven't found any videos of them yet.'''

Vinny Grosso: Yet another familiar face from Fool Us, but it wasn't amazing. Maybe it was because I already saw the trick on the aforementioned show, but it wasn't very impressive. Among him, Will Tsai, Tony and Jordan, Colin Cloud, Xavier Mortimer, Eric Jones, and Henry Richardson, Tom London, he's the weakest magician so far.

Carlos De Antonis: I'm gonna be 100% honest: I didn't love it. I'm a musician with perfect pitch (fun fact) and, listening to it) he was off pitch throughout a good chunk of the performance. His voice is pretty spectacular (albeit a bit wobbly), but his pitch is where he falters for me. Still, I love his personality: he has a lot of spunk.

Well, with one more audition episode left, we're gonna have to start narrowing down our favorite acts as of now, right? So, that said, let's have a little poll: who would you have used the Golden Buzzer on by now?
