While I don't think his rendition of Uptown Funk was bad, per se, I think his voice is more suited for older style artists like James Brown or Marvin Gaye and not modern artists like Taylor Swift and Maroon 5. He had more promise than any other act this year.

Aside from the obvious choice of buzzing Juan, yeah there were a lot of acts/performances last year that simply were subpar and all the judges were blinded by that, which is why I thought that last year was one of the worst years for AGT ever, so bad in fact that I almost didn't come back this year. But hopefully Howard's exit will prompt the execs at NBC to look at the judging panel and make a couple of changes (namely chuck Heidi and replace her with someone who actually knows talent).
