Quarterfinals Week 1[]

Name	Smackdown's Verdict	Comments
1. Pork Chop Revue	N/A	That is one BIG HOG. Honestly, I don't think this performance is something that will be remembered tonight. It was slow BUT I will say that we see dogs do this all the time. We have seen cats do it to. This is the first time we are seeing PIGS do this and it is honestly really enjoyable.
2. Feng E		The stage design looks amazing. I was lost a little bit in the middle because I thought I knew what you were playing and then it changed. Your stage presence was great. YOU OWNED this stage.
3. Shaquira McGrath	N/A	You are a great singer. We have established that. This song is honestly the worst song to sing on AGT. It just seems to not register right. Tonight was not a great night.
4. Simon and Maria		I felt everything. That performance was great. I felt the theme, the song and your coreography mold together very well. You guys did some good acrobatic moves.
5. Frenchie Babyy	N/A	Regardless of being disgusted. I enjoyed the first half with the Humble song. Once Zayde Wolf started playing the performance fell flat for me. I love that song but it did not work for your performance.
6. Bello & Annaliese Nock		I think this was a great substitute to what we might have seen tonight. However, We saw Bello do something sort of similar and better in season 12 BUT I thought this was great and america should vote you through.
7. Roberta Battaglia	N/A	I was going into this performance waiting to be amazed just like we all were during the audition but I didn't feel that wow factor tonight. It was a good performance and I think you deserve one of those 5 spots.
8. Michael Yo		Michael. That was very funny. It was very very funny. I think this was a major step up.
9. Double Dragon	N/A	I was expecting this to not be good. I think this was pretty good out of the 3 twin singer acts I've seen on AGT, you guys are actually talented singers.
10. Brett Loudermilk		I thought this was hilarious. I love how cranky you are on stage. You have great audience in this case judge interaction. You are an act that deserves his own show in vegas.
11. Archie Williams	N/A	It was a beautiful performance. Not better than your audition but it was very good.

Feng E			I enjoyed your performance a lot. I was a little lost in the middle but you did a great job.
Double Dragon			You guys are very fun to watch. You did a great job. Normally Twin acts are REALLY bad but you guys are great.

Quarterfinals Week 2[]

Name	Smackdown's Verdict	Comments
1. Kelvin Dukes	N/A	I enjoyed it. I loved the dancing and the set but it was a weak performance. This song did not show off your voice well.
2. The Shape	N/A	The choreography was great. I enjoyed it. You guys did a good job.
3. Kameron Ross		That was horrible. Million Reasons is not a Country song choice. You have potential but this was the worst song choice and it makes me question your ability.
4. BAD Salsa		This was amazing. It is fast and agressive. It was perfect. You guys are perfect.
5. Vincent Marcus		You were drowned out by the music. You have 2 good impressions (Snoop/Eminem). The material is what was lacking and made you sound kind of annoying
6. Alexis Brownley & The Puppy Pals	N/A	It was a cute performance. I love the fact that you were performing in front of an audience of stuffed animals. The performance was pretty much exactly the same as most of the dog acts we have seen hundreds of times over the years.
7. BONAVEGA	N/A	I think that your charisma and character is lovely but the act all together is just a good guilty pleasure. If that is enough to move on than good.
8. The Spyros Bros		This was great. I love seeing you guys play catch in between the judges. I think that this was a step up.
9. Daneliya Tuleshova	N/A	I thought it was good. I was told to be amazed and I wasn't. It was a great performance but I just wasn't wowed.
10. Jonathan Goodwin		You lack showmanship. It really showed this time. The long pause before you lit on fire is what made me not like this performance.
11. Voices of Our City Choir	N/A	It was a nice performance. I didn't think it was amazing but it was good.

Judges' Choice[]

Name	Image	Smackdown's Choice	Reason
Jonathan Goodwin			You were very dissapointing but I believe you can do so much better. I think you need to look back at your last 2 performances and look at this one and what you did wrong. You are an icredible danger act, this week was just a set back.
Alexis Brownley & The Puppy Pals			You were did an exceptional job. My biggest problem is that your performance is like almost every other dog act that has performed.

Quarterfinals Week 3[]

Name	Smackdown's Verdict	Comments
1. Dance Town Family	N/A	You guys danced your heart off. Can't really say anything else but that. I felt this looked almost exactly the same as many other salsa groups and honestly it was more lackluster compared to those groups but you guys did great.
2. Nolan Neal	N/A	I felt like this was not as good as your last two performances. I honestly was bored until you hit that high note. You are very talented and I wish you the best of luck.
3. Usama Siddiquee	N/A	I didn't laugh a lot. I enjoy edgy humor but I feel the feminist jokes were more uncomfortable than funny. The Airport jokes made me laugh in my head but not out loud. I love your humor but tonight was not the night.
4. W.A.F.F.L.E. Crew		That was really great! I did feel there were great moments and the at times you were cooling down but you were hot and doing crazy moves and pole dancing in the subway it was perfect.
5. Annie Jones	N/A	I think the soft stuff was really good but once the pop song started. I was not enjoying it. I think this was just not a great song choice. I think if the song was stripped down to acomidate your talent right now, it would be a much better performance.
6. Malik DOPE		I think the first song was ok. Once you started drumming to turn down for what the performance started to be really great. It went from a 2 to 11. Well done!
7. Max Major	N/A	I thought it was cool but these kind of tricks are risky because sometimes the message doesn't stick.
8. Bonebreakers		You guys are the most flexible men I have seen. Normally we see females be this flexible and they do it elgantly. You guys are folding into directions I have never seen contortionists do. The music was had me bopping.
9. Sheldon Riley		I'll be honest part of the performance I wasn't into it but that high note was amazing and I was blown away!
10. Alan Silva		I did not like to song choice at all but your performance was fantastic. You performed a move that last time you did it you broke your neck. THEN you dialed the danger to 11. You performed this outside in the wind and over a bed of spikes. You are so incredible and I hope to see america vote for you.
11. Cristina Rae	N/A	Hallelujah is an overused song on AGT. I have heard it tons of times. You did a fine job. I think the first half I was not interested but the high note was really good.

Judges' Choice[]

Name	Image	Smackdown's Choice	Reason
Malik DOPE			I think your performance was incredible. You did such an amazing job. Your work so far on this show has definitely inspired thousands of aspiring drummers. I honestly cannot wait to see thousands of drummers that try to bring the same energy that you show in this performance
Nolan Neal			You are insanely talent. Your audition was by far my favorite singing performance by anybody so far this season. I personally didn't think that last night was on par to most of the vocal performances we've seen.

Quarterfinals Week 4[]

Name	Smackdown's Verdict	Comments
1. CA Wildcats	N/A	I think what you guys do is crazy talented. My problem is during this performance I went back and forth to thinking this as an incredible acrobatic performance to a cheerleading team for a college. I think you guys are amazing but I DO NOT think this is a million dollar act.
2. Kenadi Dodds	N/A	I think you have potential and will have an amazing future but I just felt tonight felt generic country and wasn't moving and inspirational like your audition was.
3. Lightwave Theatre Company	N/A	I thought it was a beautiful message and performance. I do think to many people including myself you can lost out of the performance and be creeped out by the dolls and or be bored with the performance for a little bit. I do not think this deserved to be buzzed.
4. Resound		That was incredible. Each of you are great on your own but together your harmonies are an unstoppable force of beauty. FANTASTIC!
5. Divas & Drummers of Compton	N/A	This was not good. The drumming was irrelevant. It was in the background for 80% of the performance and it mixed in with the music that I thought it was part of the song. The song was good but was not useful if YOU HAVE DRUMMERS. The dancing I didn't care for. We have dance groups and duos 1000% better. I personally thought out of the2 minutes of this performance I enjoyed 10 seconds.
6. Celina		This was FANTASTIC. I can say it was something that I would genuinely bob my head to while it was on the radio. You are a great singer.
7. Noah Epps	N/A	I was more enticed with your backgrounds that I litterally looked at the background instead of watching you performing. It was not up to the caliber of acts we are going to see in the semifinals. Honestly even tonight it didn't meet a certain bar.
8. Alex Hooper	N/A	I didn't laugh histaricly. I laughed in my head. Almost every joke I was in my head like "Hu Hu.. That's Funny". Nothing LAUGH OUT LOUD.
9. Broken Roots	N/A	I liked it. I felt passion flow out of that song and both of your voices together in this song was really good.
10. Bello Sisters	N/A	For the first minute I was just seeing the same acrobatic balances we have seen multiple times. We had the Messoudi Brothers last season. Their biggest issue was doing the same stunts over and over. Second half I saw some new balances that I haven't seen before so it was good.
11. Brandon Leake		You are an act that is completely new to the Got Talent Shows. I have never seen a spoken word poet ever. I can say that this performance was emotional, passionate, all that but because this is something we are not familiar with I was expecting rhyming and stuff. Genuinely I really enjoyed it but it reminded me more of a motivation speech channel like prince ea. But again just keep doing what your doing.

Name	Image	Smackdown's Choice	Reason
Bello Sisters			You guys did a good job. I heard that one of you were injured during the performance so HUGE props to you guys but it brings a question if you move forward can you step it up. You are injured and quite honestly I have seen many balancing acts and a lot of them are better.
Resound			Your voices together are amazing, Your performance was magnificent. Hands down for me it was the best vocal performance in the live shows this season.

Semifinals Week 1[]

Name	Smackdown's Verdict	Comments
1. Double Dragon	N/A	I think you guys did everything right with this performance except step it up. I liked being caught of guard with the soft singing behind the juice bar and then you guys just blow up the performance with your spice and charisma. That is what I like about you girls the most is your charisma while singing. You own the stage when you sing but I feel that last round was so much better.
2. Dance Town Family	N/A	You guys have worked your butt off and I think it is great you got the wild card. Personally I enjoyed your last performance better but you did fine.
3. Broken Roots	N/A	I think this song was a good song for you guys to sing but I think the first half there was a little flat but the second half was rock on!
4. Spyros Bros	N/A	I think this is tough to call. We are at the semifinals so there is no room for error but at the same time they didn't let those errors break them down. I think what you guys do is great and lots of the tricks tonight were cool but I think you are going to have a tough time.
5. Thomas Day	N/A	That was not great. It was good. I will be honest some notes were good. I can see the appeal. I think some notes were good and some were not. You are young and you have your whole life to learn and strengthen your voice.
6. Alan Silva		I am going to be honest I not liking it at the start but it picked up. First act tonight that genuinely stepped it up. Spectacular.
7. Shaquira McGrath	N/A	I personally don't think your voice and country works great for me. Last round was horrid. This round was good but it was a weak performance for the SEMIFINALS. Not my cup of tea.
8. Brandon Leake		I think the passion and emotion in these spoken words really shine. You are amazing and I can't wait to see what you do next.
9. Malik DOPE		This was extrodinary. You made it tougher than ever before with the Segway and the fire. I enjoyed that you slid down a pole. I think that really made your 1 performance 2 performances. well done!
10. Archie Williams	N/A	Got to be blunt that was not good. Your story is great and inspiring but this performance was not good. I feel like the emotion really caught up with you tonight.
11. Roberta Battaglia	N/A	I think this was a major step up from last round. I am still not majorly wow'd by you like everyone else is but only 5 can go through. Goodluck.

Judges' Choice[]

Name	Image	Smackdown's Choice	Reason
Archie Williams			You were at your weakest. I think even if you managed to not be overcomed with emotion I think your performance would still not be worthy of moving on. Your story is inspiring but in the semifinals you have to step up your game and last night you flopped.
Malik DOPE			You were incredible. You incorperated new things into your act. You slid down a pole, rode a segway, drummed with fire. You did so many things to make your performance as hard as possible and you successfully did it.

Semifinals Week 2[]

Name	Smackdown's Verdict	Comments
1. W.A.F.F.L.E. Crew		I loved it. I liked your last performance way better but this was fantastic. You guys just have so much fun doing some insane moves. What an awesome start to tonights semifinal.
2. Kenadi Dodds	N/A	I think this was better than your performance last round but I think that this performance was still not up to the caliber of acts we are going to see tonight and the ones already in the final.
3. Max Major	N/A	I personally thought this was your worst performance. I think it took way too long to get to the point. I thought the execution of the trick was weak. A lot of the stuff I saw from you tonight I saw done better from other magicians. I think the billboard may have saved you but for me it was not good.
4. Bello Sisters		That was incredible. The strength was insane. You stepped it up so much. Every balance move we saw looked so dangerous. One of you held everything one leg, blindfolded it was all insane. I cannot wait to see how you can step it up in the final because if america does not vote you through there is something wrong because that was amazing.
5. Celina	N/A	I hate to say it but that was by far your worst performance. I thought it was a beautiful performance but this was weak for the semifinals. I know you can do better than that.
6. Jonathan Goodwin		YOU ARE CRAZY. Last round was long, clunky and boring. Tonight you got straight to the point, You up'd the danger to 11. This was such a step up. This was danger at it's finest. Well freaking done sir.
7. Cristina Rae	N/A	I disliked the song. Whatever that annoying of the sound was it took my attention away from the performance. I thought the song was a major step down.
8. BAD Salsa		I think you guys are incredible. I can't really judge this on a They do the same thing everytime because you do so much in so little time and all you do is incredible. I really gope you guys make it.
9. Voices of Our City Choir	N/A	I don't know what I really feel out of this performance. I think this was a step up from last round but I have heard better choirs on this show and I think the final should be the best of the best. You did good but if it was worth a spot in the final it is up to america.
10. Brett Loudermilk		I think you are a crazy dude. I love you. Your showmanship is top notch. The trick was a little bit weak compared to your last 2 rounds. If america votes you through you should go back to the swords.
11. Daneliya Tuleshova	N/A	Comparing you to Jonathan or any other variety act is like comparing apples and oranges. Out of all the singers tonight I think you were the best. This was a great way to close the night.

Judges' Choice[]

Name	Image	Smackdown's Choice	Reason
BAD Salsa			You guys are a pheonomenal duo. I have never seen salsa done like this it is fast and is executed perfectly
Max Major			I really want to like you but your tricks are not great. your performance last round when using the audience was good until I found out it was a scam. Now last night you asked an audience member for a number and it clearly screwed you. I tried so hard to enjoy you but your tricks make it hard.

Finals[]

Name	Smackdown's Verdict	Comments
1. Roberta Battaglia	N/A	I am sorry to say but this was for me your worst performance. I just didn't think that this was good. For some reason your voice was just not good tonight. Semifinals was good. Audition was wonderful but tonight was not good.
2. BAD Salsa		I love you both so much! Everytime we see you you are absolutely amazing. You guys pulled out all the stops and did as many tricks as possible and I believe at least 90 % of the tricks I saw were new and we haven't seen them in the competition so far. YOU TWO ARE PERFECT!
3. Kenadi Dodds	N/A	I was not feeling it for a little bit because I think out of all the acts in the final you are the weakest act. BUT... here is the but. You did a great job tonight. This was your best performance in the competition. Well done!
4. Brandon Leake		Everytime I've seen you perform, it ends with me in chills. You are such a unique act the first of it's kind on AGT. YOU DESERVE TO WIN THIS SHOW. YOU ARE WORTH IT!
5. Broken Roots		The best thing from you guys is when you hit the climax and start going full rock. I do tend to get lost on your slow build but it is worth it so much!
6. Bello Sisters		I think that first balance was not great but everything after that was crazy. You balanced everything with just 2 feet that were in the air. The crossbow scared me and it raise the danger higher than ever. I believe last week was better but this I believe deserves votes. You ladies are incredible!
7. Archie Williams	N/A	I think you did so much better than in the semifinals but I still think your voice is way too shakey. You have an amazing and inpirational story but your performance was not worthy of winning.
8. Daneliya Tuleshova	N/A	I think at your age and that you are able to sing like that is amazing but tonight was your worst performance on the live shows. I think you have a shot a winning this but tonight was lacking a wow factor.
9. Alan Silva		That was incredible! I was captivated the entire time. You are amazing. The moves tonight were perfectly executed. YOU DID AMAZING. America VOTE for Alan because this was amazing.
10. Cristina Rae	N/A	I love Imagine Dragons. I love this song Demons. I think they sing it better but you made this song your own and I can see millions of people coming to see your concert stream your songs online. You have a great voice.
