This semifinal felt weak, I think only 4 acts deserve to be finalists. I think next week is going to be more competitive.

Ndlovu Youth Choir - I’ve been a fan of them in the past, but this performance in my opinion was a step down in terms of how engaging it was. Plus the background visuals were pretty distracting. (Judge Choice: Loser)

Ansley Burns - goes down as one of the worst semifinal acts in the history of agt (ELIMINATED)

Messoudi Brothers - Their act is too slow in my opinion. What they do is impressive and obviously requires incredible strength, but it also gets boring very quickly. They may get votes based on their attractiveness but i think its a long shot for them to advance (ELIMINATED)

Tyler Butler-figueroa - First off, the intro package with his brother was great. As for tyler, I think he stepped it up massively and secured himself a spot in the finals (TOP 3)

Greg Morton - Yikes. I’ve never really been a fan of how this guys act has no real structure and tonight it showed. I would’ve considered buzzing. (ELIMINATED)

Kodi Lee- What can I say? He delivered another fantastic performance and proved again why he is one of the acts to beat(TOP 3)

Jackie Fabulous - Another act that took a big step back, her jokes weren’t hitting and her delivery is terrible. (ELIMINATED)

Robert Finley - Love the guy, but I wasn’t able to connect with him as well this time compared to previous performances. however i think he has a shot at going through and i think he can redeem himself in the finals (Judges Choice: Winner)

Eric Chien - This was a weird act and it definitely left me wanting more. He’s starting to show that isn’t gonna be able to live up to these shin lim comparisons people are throwing at him. I think he’s a fantastic magician, but this downward spiral he’s on makes me think he’ll go home. (Eliminated)

Light Balance Kids- This was my favorite act of the night. Every move was timed perfectly and the choreography was fantastic. i think they took the biggest step up out of anyone that performed tonight. Julianne is dead to me btw. Not sure they have the fan base to advance immediately but fingers crossed they go through (Dunkin Save Winner)

Benicio - Another one of the acts who i felt outperformed expectations. His songwriting is as good as i’ve seen of someone his age and he is able to separate himself from the other kid singers imo. he has a huge fan base as well. (TOP 3)

Therefore i have Kodi, Tyler, and Benicio going straight through with LBK winning the save and robert winning the judges choice.
