Julia Scotti (eliminated): 2750 likes, 621 dislikes

Malevo (Dunkin Save): 3499 likes, 156 dislikes

Blake Vogt (advanced): 4712 likes, 702 dislikes

Kadan Bart Rockett (advanced): 5821 likes, 564 dislikes

So it looks like Kadan outperformed Blake (this round) in spite of what some of you say. Still, Blake had a much stronger positive reaction in the Judge Cuts than Kadan. Malevo doesn't have enough Americans voting for them. Julia's routine didn't resonate with enough people.

Predictions for Semi-final 1 (in no particular order):

Top 3: Grace VanderWaal, Jon Dorenbos, Tape Face

Middle 3: Laura Bretan, Blake Vogt, Sal Valenetti

Bottom 5: Deadly Games, Edgar, Lori, Musicality, the wildcard

I am the least certain about Sal being in the Middle 3. Can he pull off a Samantha Johnson and end up in the Dunkin Save position twice? Edgar has done no wrong in their performances, maybe the family can make the middle 3? I am confident that Grace and Jon will advance and do what they do best. Tape Face and Blake need to do better than in their quarterfinals. Laura is more compelling than Arielle Baril from last season so she will probably make it. Musicallity, Lori, and Deadly Games were (I believe) the acts that received fewer votes from their quarterfinals round (5th, 6th, 7th place).

I agree with you. So, about Blake, I know he didn't do as great in the Quarterfinals. He did step it down from his Judge Cuts performance. I still do say Blake had a better Quarterfinals performance over Kadan, but I guess people were disappointed with what Blake did. He should step it up in the Semifinals. He's smart and he knows what he's doing. Your predictions for next week are good. Tape Face and Blake do need to step it up and I believe they will. Grace and Jon will make the finals. They are good and have that fan base.
