Here are my thoughts AFTER the Performaces in Semifinal 2 (A.K.A.: "The Group of Death!")

Advancing to the Finals

1.) Sofie Dossi (10 Votes) - Standing Ovation [Stone Cold Lead Pipe Lock Shoe-In]

By far and away the best performace of the Night, the Semifinals and the Competition, you talk about blowing away the Competition and she did just that, She is the ONLY lock to make it to the 10 Act Finals, She is my pick to win the Title over both Grace VanderWaal and Laura Bretan in the Final 3!, she only gets better and better and stronger and stronger! So far my favorite and best performace of the Competition! She is the ONLY one that I have as a Shoe-In Stone Cold Lead Pipe Lock to make the Finals! This is my Pick to win the entire Thing, even over Grace VanderWaal and Laura Bretan!

2.) The Clairvoyants

They turned in their best performace and have a shot at the finals, while by no means a lock to make it, they have a small chance at winning it all if they get in, after all the performaces, they just might have knocked Kadan Bart Rockett Out, if any Group/Duo/Family is going to win the whole thing, The Clairvoyants have the best shot. They had the best performace in the Toughest Semifinal and it might just be enough to make the 10 Act Finals! However I would not be shocked if they were sent home either! They are one of the 10 Acts on the fence for spots 2-5!

3.) Calysta Bevier

While not her best Performace, it was a great performace in the Semifinals, Her whole body of work speaks for itself on the whole, that and she has Simon Cowell's golden Buzzer, she could finish anywhere from 2-10, she could make the Finals, she could make the Final 5, but she will not make the Final 3! She is NOT a lock to make the Finals! She is on the Fence!, I can see this going either way!

4-Dunkin' Donuts Save.) Jayna Brown

Alot like Calysta Bevier, Last night was not her best Performace, it was a great performace in the Semifinals, Her whole body of work speaks for itself on the whole, that and she has Louis Thomilson's golden Buzzer, she could finish anywhere from 2-10, she could make the Finals, she could make the Final 5, but she will not make the Final 3! She is NOT a lock to make the Finals! She is on the Fence!, I can see this going either way! I can see the same thing happening to Jayna Brown that happened to Malevo in Semifinal 1! (Remember Malevo won George Lopez's Golden Buzzer but was WRONGFULLY Eliminated in Semifinal 1!) Her performace last night is not a Title Winner!

5-Judge's Choice Winner.) Brian Justin Crum

Last night was not his best performace nor his best Song Choice, up until last night he had been building Steam with each Round and performance, he lost some of that steam last night, but it was still a good performace, before going in I had Brian Justin Crum in the Dunkin' Donuts Round, last night did not change that for me, I can see him advancing to the Finals, but I can also see him going home tonight! I see a maximum of 2-3 Singers advancing but not 4 or 5, all the singers did well last night, he can make the Finals, but he WILL NOT make the Final 5! He is squarely on the bubble tonight and might be the last one in! of spots 2, 3, 4 and 5, I have him as 5! Brian Justin Crum is on the INSIDE LOOKING OUT! He will squarely be right on the Fence tonight!

Judge's Choice Voting: Brian Justin Crum 2, Viktor Kee 2 (Brian Justin Crum advances on America's Vote Tiebreaker!)

Eliminated

6-Judge's Choice Loser.) Viktor Kee

Again, Semifinal 2 was the Group of Death, and last night Viktor Kee delivered his best performace! I can see Viktor Kee in the Finals, I can even see Viktor winning it all, I can also see Viktor Kee eliminated tonight!, he will be one of the 9 acts vying for spots 2-5, after all the performaces and bodies of work last night and despite his best efforts, I think tonight will be the end of the Road for Viktor Kee! If Viktor Kee was in Semifinal 1 he would be a shoe-in over Sal ValentiNOTti to make the Final, but this is the much tougher Semifinal, he is also in the same predicament as Brian Justin Crum, Viktor Kee could be the last act in the finals or the first act out of the Finals! I see him right now on the OUTSIDE LOOKING IN and also Out with a Gripe!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">7.) Steven Brundage

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Another one thats going to be on the thin line tonight, he had his best performace last night but remember this is the Semifinal of Death here he could finish anywhere from 2nd to 10th, he is another one that could win the whole thing or he could not even close to making the Finals and be eliminated tonight! Spots 2-10 will be up for grabs between 9 Acts for only 4 other spots to the Finals, he will squarely be on the Bubble tonight! He could be the Last one In or the First one out with a Gripe!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">8.) Kadie Lynn Roberson

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">This is one of those acts that could win the America's Got Talent Title or Could finish in the Bottom half of Semifinal 2, Her acts throught the competition have been off and on, while her Semifinal Act was Good, her Quarterfinals Act was by far her best and like 9 other acts battling for spots 2-5, she will definitely be an interesting Case if not the most interesting one! Shes made it this far, there are only 5 singing acts and I see 2 or 3 at maximum getting in but not 4, it will be a close call for the singing acts tonight to see which ones (If any) go through! (I can also see No Singing Acts going through!)

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">9.) Kadan Bart Rockett

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Constant all season long, they too will be battling for spots 2-5 with 9 other Acts, they had their best performance last night but they may be in a fight with The Clairvoyants and if it was based on last night I would I have given the Slight edge to the Clairvoyants, I can see 1 Duo/Family/Group making the Finals but not 2! (I can also see None making it!) Tonight, they will squarely be on the Fence, I can see this going either way and it will be a Toss-Up!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">10.) Linkin' Bridge

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Only if these guys were in Semifinal 1 they would been in and Sal ValentiNOTti would be out, but unfortunately this is Semifinal 2, the group of Death. Linkin' Bridge had by far their best performace of the Competition and it came at the best time, they DEFINITELY Bounced back from their terrible quarterfinals performace which by the way hurts them, Their Semifinal performace was DEFINITELY better than Lori Mae Hernandez/Deadly Games/Malevo/Edgar/The Passing Zone/Musicality/Sal ValentiNOTti by a Landslide, However their Lackluster Quarterfinals performace might come back to bite them in the Semifinals like it did Edgar! I thought Linkin' Bridge did the best they could do but will it be enough for one of those 5 coveted spots?

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">11.) The Passing Zone

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Really?, Really? This was your Wild Card? By far the worst performance of the night and the only bad performace of Semifinal 2, and only the Third worst overall Semifinal performace (Trust me Musicality and Sal ValentiNOTti's was worse!), The Act was Weak and easy to figure out, it just seems they get weaker and weaker with these two This was a Total Waste of a Wild Card! The Group of Death will eat The Passing Zone alive tonight!, There are lots others who deserved it! They are the only Act that is truly mathematically out of it with no shot! Tonight, The Passing Zone will be eliminated again and going home for Good!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">All in all it was The Group of Death and it was Tougher than I thought it was going to be...

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">I Ultimately see the Winner of America's Got Talent coming from Semifinal 2!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">I see at least 3 of the Final 5 coming from this Semifinal 2 as well!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Sofie Dossi is the only Lock!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Spots 2-5 will be a 9 Act Battle Royal (Jayna Brown/Calysta Bevier/Brian Justin Crum/Viktor Kee/Steven Brundage/The Clairvoyants/Kadie Lynn Roberson/Kadan Bart Rockett/Linkin' Bridge) and all will be right on the Fence and I can see these 9 going either way tonight, it is going to be a tough call tonight!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">The Passing Zone is the only one for sure to get Eliminated!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">I can see 2 or 3 singers moving on but no more, I also would not be shocked if NO SINGERS advanced to the Finals!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">I can see 1 Duo/Group/Family moving on but not 2, I can also see NONE going through!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">The only things that would shock me about this Semifinal would be:

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">A.) Sofie Dossi gets Eliminated

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">B.) The Passing Zone advances to the Finals

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Other than that All othes are up for Grabs!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">You have 10 of the 11 acts that are Finals Worthy and Deserving with 9 of them capable and deserving of winning the Entire thing! This is like a True Final 10 and might end up as the True Finals!

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Anyway thats my thoughts on Semifinal 2 AFTER the Performaces
