REVIEW

Acts (in order) 1. Yoli Mayor - Don't get me wrong, she's a fantastic singer with a wide vocal range, but just didn't do it for me tonight. Her audition and Judge Cuts performance were FAR better, however, now nothing makes her stand out. Perhaps it's the song choice as Mel suggested last time? I don't know. 2. Eric Jones - Ah, one of my favorite acts. He's proven himself to be an impressive close-up magician and has been one of my favorite contestants from the start. So far, he hasn't let me down. Unfortunately, considering how he didn't even get the Dunkin' Save in Quarterfinals, he probably won't make it to the end. :( 3. DaNell Daymon & Greater Works - God is good! I'm Christian, so of course I can't help loving this act! But I will admit: this wasn't their best. I preferred their last performance. Still, great to see such devotion <3. 4. Preacher Lawson - I still can't get over the fact that he dissed Tyra TWICE XD. He was an enjoyable act to watch, and I hope that he makes it through. 5. Johnny Manuel - Honestly...he let me down. Same as Yoli, he has an amazing voice and vocal range, and I loved watching all of his performances (especially his audition) up till now. Sorry, but I have to agree with the judges on this one. 6. Billy & Emily England - Well their act was repetitive as always, save for the ending. I'll admit, Billy throwing Emily off the platform gave me a two second heart attack, but other than that, they did literally nothing different. Although, to be fair, they are a ROLLER-SKATING duo. They don't have a lot of other options. Also, Youtube titles their videos as "death-defying", but really, the only one who's in any FATAL danger is Emily. The worst that can happen to Billy is a broken limb or concussion, but it's not like he's gonna die... 7. Evie Clair - She may not be the best singer on the show, but people calling her out on her sob story are either cruel or just plain stupid. I mean, they wouldn't be talking if their dad was close to death. Still, she actually kind of sings like me. Her vocal range may not be as wide as Yoli's or Johnny's, but she does have a good voice. She just needs practice (so do I XD). As for her performance tonight, I don't think she stepped it up, but she didn't do worse either. To me, she just did...okay. I don't think she'll make it through, but I'll definitely be praying for her dad. 8. Sara and Hero - Not bad. I like them a lot, and Sara's an amazing dog trainer, but all I kept thinking about was how the Pompeyo Family did it better... Still, adding Loki was a nice touch, although I think Sara needs to go back to working on her act's story plot. 9. Chase Goehring - I really like him. Chase is just so original and creative. His music style and lyrics are so different from most singer-songwriters these days, but something about his latest song feels off. I think his previous ones were better, but I guess this one was still okay. Chase will probably make it to Top 5, which, personally, I don't mind. 10. Darci Lynne - She's just so talented! Her singing voice itself is incredible, and to think she can sing just as well with her mouth CLOSED. Darci has a such a creative personality, and it's no wonder that she's probably the front runner this season. Her performance tonight was great, although in all honesty, I still think her audition was best. Either way, she's definitely making the Top 3. 11. Mike Yung - Truthfully, I liked his Quarterfinals performance better, but this one was still really good. His strong, raspy, voice really suits him, and he deserves so much more than just singing in the subway. Unfortunately, I doubt that he'll make it to Finals, but who knows?
