I don't like acts that get through for reasons that have nothing to do with talent.

If the act is talented - even if I don't like it - I can accept them being advanced. But mediocre talents or untalented acts getting through for other reasons, I cannot accept.

For that reason, I did not like Nick giving Dorothy Williams the golden buzzer in 2016.

I disliked Jon Doronbos advancing to the third spot in the finals because of his NFL fame.

This year, the acts I dislike are In the Stairwell (advancing because they are military), Evie Clair (advancing because of her Dad [RIP]) and Mirror Image (advancing because the judges had a collective brain seizure).

The only act remaining is Evie Clair and I no longer begrudge her the spot because although I feel Eric should have advanced, I am not such a cold-hearted bastard that I will be sour at a young girl having a moment of glory in the middle of a sea of pain.
