That...that is a stacked week right there. Rob Lake and The Future Kingz pretty much have no chance now. And that sucks, becuase I really like both of them (especially The Future Kingz).

For real, though. Every single act that week is very popular (aside from maybe Joseph O'Brien) and only 7 can go through. The results that week are going to be brutal ;-;

At least Week 2 looks a lot less painful. Do you think this could be the toughest night of live shows of all time? Week 4 in Season 7 was even worse.

If you didn't see that week, the producers basically just took a bunch of really good variety acts that everyone knew would be finalists and shoved them all into the same night, and only 4 acts could go through. So, every act that wasn't absolutely amazing had zero chance of making it. Even Howard commented on how insane that night was. What made it even worse is that the previous week was really bad, so the two weeks definitely could have been balanced a bit more. The producers just screwed those two nights up really badly.

This quarterfinal isn't quite AS bad, because pretty much all of the acts are either really good or really popular (or both). So it's pretty much up in the air who will go through that week, as opposed to the one in Season 7 where it was blatantly obvious who would go through.
