I very well understood what Riana's act was about: being story driven with some magic in it, being based on curses and spirits, Riana being the hero not the enemy, etc. and I'm not Asian. I cannot think of anyone else on America's Got Talent that put on a show like her so that gave me a reason to vote. I say they do it! Can you remember in the first audition, simon was nodding his head. And then Heidi said she wants something spooky. Furthermore, can you remember, all the advertisements AGT posted before the show started was based on horror (ie - The three judges going to a house and then ghosts appearing etc and Simon coming at the end, saying I'm back).

This shows clearly that Riana was invited as she entirely is based on horror! The promotion video further confirms this. And I think she was eliminated as she will mostly be participating in America's got Talent : The Champions!
