Well first off I basically called it again. The only difference was my 5th choice actually beat out my 3rd selection which was fine. I knew it would come down to those 5 acts I listed. My homie Turf made it through!!! I knew he was a shoe-in! Got Em!!

I have the same problem with judges x'ing them during the live shows. **** you three, you voted them through, not once but twice!

And believe me I know NY crowds, I used to live in Manhattan. They are usually extremely respectful of performers unless it is a venue like the Apollo where booing is part of the show. So who makes up the crowd isn't the problem, it is the show's producers that encourages it. This isn't WWF Smackdown.

Actually Howard didnt put those wack acts through. That was Howie & Sharon as he let it be known. Plus I know Howard is better than that and takes this serious. Also no matter who goes through if u do terrible u deserved to get boo'd so I disagree with u. This show is about either stepping up and performing or getting x'd and boo'd and thats why the x's are there for. Its not Idol where its just singing acts and only good to great singers are put through so of course no booing will occur. This is AGT and when u have a bunch of variety acts etc...its easy to do bad thus which calls for boo's and x's. Plus with some judges putting through dumb acts which I knew would get boo'd from the jump so it wasnt no surprise to me. I fully disagree with u on this topic. Got Em!!

Couldnt agree more. Got Em!!

On one hand, I really think that girl was a great singer. On the other, AGT is always won by singers. Tough call.

Yea I believe a singer has won 5 out of the first 6 years with of course Terry Fador (ventriliquist) as the only non singer winner. He is also easily the most successful of the winners and has one of the most popular shows in Vegas. Singers really dont belong in Vegas as a big lead act. I also hope someone other than a singer wins this year although Tim Hockenberry has a real chance to win it all. I just think if someone other than a singer wins it they would have a better chance to actually get a show in Vegas. Recycled Percussion came in 3rd the year they auditioned and they even got a live show in Vegas. Those types of acts are better suited for Vegas. Got Em!!

Doesn't matter, the show put them through. Don't be naive to think that it is onl those 3 judges making the decisions. There is a room full of executives pulling the strings and if the want someone through they make it happen. I worked in Reality way too long to know how that goes down.

If you want the booing, fine, that's your opinion. I still think the audience is a bunch of entitled douchebags and makes the show more tacky than it already is.

Got em.

I aint naive to nuthin. Howard speaks the truth and Im glad he is there and if he says Howie is the reason those bullshit acts make it through then I believe him. If u think its more than that thats fine but that doesnt matter to me. What matters is the shows best judge called out the 2 idiot judges for putting through dumb acts. And yes I am ok with crowds booing bad acts! Got Em!!

[CZAR]

Wow what a bad start to the show tonight. However it got better late and here is who I see advancing:

Lightwire Theater
Wordspit and the Illest
Jacob Williams
All Wheel Sports

The only other possible act to maybe beat out AWS would be Elusive. Other than that I didnt care for anyone else. Got Em!!

[Josh]

Lightwire Theater and Wordspit Illest should move on. Everyone else, not needed.

Don't forget The Untouchables. I could see them moving on.

I totally agree with your list except for Wordspit and Illest, it wasn't a brigth move on there part to do an original song...the first act, the one with the dancing kids from Miami deserve to go through, I am drawing a blank on their name.

Defintely the best two acts but I would put Jacob Williams as a for sure advancer also. Dude is funny. The 4th spot isnt needed but someone has to make it. Got Em!!

Naw I didnt care for them much. Got Em!!

That is the group Sycro is referring to. The Untouchables. I know the judges liked them but I didnt care for them. I could see them advancing if they are one of the two groups during the judges pick but Im pretty sure they wont make the top 3 so that would be the only shot they would have in my opinion. As for Wordspit I liked the song they sang and they rocked the house and should definitely move on. Got Em!!

[sycro]

I think Wordspit will end up being Howard's pick to come back. But I knew The Untouchables would win

Yea I was wrong about The Untouchables tonight. I dont see them advancing much further though. Also felt Wordspit shouldve beat out AWS. Oh well on to next week. Got Em!!

[Josh]

Sharon and Howie made it clear on Tuesday that they didn't think it was smart to do an original song on the show. When it was between AWS (who all three judges liked) and Illest, I knew AWS was going to be put through. I loved the stone faces on the Illest. It was like a "We gonna murder some judges tonight!" look. I'm sure Howard will bring then back.

Actually Terry Fador is a singer his whole act was doing singing impersonations through ventriloquism.

I think all the acts are pretty weak this season don't really care who wins.

This isn't anything new Piers also blamed Howie(Those Funny Little People being one such act) for all the truly bad acts that made it through. He puts acts through for his own personal amusement rather than the best act. Sharon is a softy and has known Howie longer so I'm sure she sides with him more than Howard. I also wouldn't doubt that the producers have some say in it, and like some of those picks of Howie's to give people that train wreck act some love to watch.

U know what I mean when referring to Fador as a singer. He also says a lot of jokes also. He isnt your normal singing act. He is a ventriliquits. There is a difference. Also Piers is the same kind of judge that Howard is and they take it serious. Howie is cool but at times he doesnt take it serious. Some of these silly acts need to go. Just wasted spots. They dont need stupid acts for the live shows. I can understand Vegas but to put some of those acts through to the live show is dumb. The live shows are to be serious and show the real talent. Not only that, some of the real talent still have train wrecks when they perform. Like that guy who fell when trying to balance himself on all those metal pieces so it happens anyway. Just a thought. Got Em!!

[CZAR]

Wow tonight may have been the best night ever on AGT! How do they decide which acts goes on which shows? It sucks because atleast 8 of the acts from tonight should go through but there are only 4 spots. They need to arrange the schedule and have the acts balanced so they get the best talent through. I mean they can judge off auditions and Vegas week to determine who are the favorites and have balanced shows so that the wrong talent doesnt go home because one night is stacked and the rest of the nights are mediocre. Anyway as tough as it is here are my predictions:

4 Advancing Acts
William Close
Olate Dogs
Eric Dittleman
Joe Castillo



Im pretty sure William Close and Olate Dogs are shoe-ins to advance but the other 2 spots are very tough. I went with Eric Dittleman for the 3rd spot and I think the 4th spot will come down to Joe Castillo & Sebastien "El Charro De Oro" for the judges to choose from. I think the judges will go with Joe Castillo. Cant wait for tomorrow night! Got Em!!

[agoofykindasuperman]

I was thinking the same thing last night. Such a good show this time around. Big change from the past 3 weeks where there was only one suitable act to advance each show. I didn't think the dogs would be worthy, but after that performance last night, I've put them in my prediction for one of the 4 acts going through. Also chose the Mind reader, the big string instrument guy, and the sand artist. Great stuff!

[Josh]

The producers definitely stacked this round, and that is absolute crap. Half of the acts that performed last night could easily beat most of the acts that already went through. CZAR - that is who I picked to go through as well, but there are so many other worthly acts as well.
