I really do enjoy the show. I love the variety. But I'm frustrated because the separation between the acts in first semi finals and the second semi finals seems ridiculous. The talent in the second semi finals is unbelievable. While there were some excellent acts in the first semi finals, these acts are incredible. Diavolo could seriously go on stage tonight. Their talent is just amazing. I would pay to watch their show!

I love the kids but keep thinking what will they do with a Vegas show? Of course the million dollars would pay for college plus some. It'll be interesting to see who goes through from tonight. There's such a variety between the little girl who does ventriloquism, the magicians, the light dancers, Diavolo, the singers and the dog acts.

Two groups were stacked hard, and one group had all the mediocre ones. I would have rather them be spread out so all the good ones could go through. Haven't seen tonight's episode but I'm excited to watch. Diavolo, Darci Lynn, and Mandy are my favorites. |

I agree with @southernlizzie about kids doing a Vegas show. Do you know that the million dollars is paid over something like 30 or 40 years? I know it's a really long time. They get other money, though, as well. I just wish they'd get together the top 10 and do a Variety Show. That is something I'd pay a lot to see. I really don't want to see someone doing a 2-hour show of the exact same thing. |

Haven't seen last night's show yet, but my daughter is a dancer and was lucky enough to take a master class from Diavolo a couple of years ago when they were in our area. We also saw their performance, which was truly EPIC!! Seriously amazing. I gasped multiple times during the show!!

If I remember correctly, the "Vegas show" that you win is a one night only show with other acts.

I'm sick of singers. Too many. I love the variety acts though. Colin Cloud is great, Diavolo, the light dancers. ALL AMAZING.

I am really tired of little girl singers, to be honest. Just tired of that genre on this show. I also can't help but be cynical and worry about how they will be exploited. Not if, but how.
I did not think much of that multi-dog act. I have seen better acts many times at small circuses. The young lady with the three dogs, OTOH, I think is remarkable.
I like the magic acts and that big dance troupe best.

I like the light show dancers the best I think- can't remember the name of them but it's so hard to chose just one!
I love some of the singer's stories (Kechi, the girl that's deaf, Angelica, the boy that was blind... so many of them!) and I love Darcy. They were all amazing last night.

I also thought last nights acts were stacked with most of the talent in the semifinals. We love AGT and look forward to it each week. I'm a little tired of the little girl singers, there's always so many. It's clear that kind of talent is born into you so early in life, I worry about them being over done at such early ages. They are always adorable though, that's for sure!
I think right now I'm pulling for Diavolo to win it.

I haven't watched last nights yet, but I am very disappointed the red headed teen boy did not go through and the teen girl who's father has colon cancer (he may have passed away by now) did go through. It is a very sad story, but I thought he was clearly more talented.
I can never remember people's names! I love the girl ventriloquist.

Do you mean Chase? agt.wikia.com/wiki/Chase_Goehring I just watched the ending of last weeks show when he went up against the magician guy and the judges voted Chase through to the finals. It was the three left Evie, Chase Magician, America saved Evie, judges saved Chase, Magician went home. I think the ventriloquist is going to win Jen |

I too think the ventriloquist will win. She really is amazing. That was really clever of her to approach Simon with Edna.
But - Preacher, the comedian is my favorite.

I honestly think Evie is there more for the emotional factor. Defiantly there for the emotional factor. I do wonder next week if she will be in the top since her Fathers Passing last week. The Simon in me thinks she has potential since she is only 13. Her vocals at the beginning were much better. I don't like her song choices at all. I think with a completion like AGT you need to pick a song that people can connect with especially when you are singing her genre. She has a career within the LDS community for sure. I see her as a Christian artist and going around to the LDS community speaking conferences and singing. Jen |

We usually skip through the stories and sometimes get a bit of their story from the judges at the end. |

It was just incredible. I'm not over that. But if you mean the ridiculousness of these children singers, then I agree with you. I can't understand why they are put through. I guess they are pretty cute, but still! I think they really messed up the division between week 1 and week 2 of the semifinals. Too many good ones went home last night. |

Singers in general to be honest - at least solo singers. I prefer the variety part of this shows. The choir, the Air Force group I loved. The dance groups I love. The magicians I love. Really bummed that Colin Cloud didn't make it through. |

I,m also bummed Collin didn't go through. They put through 3 singers last night and 2 the week before. Half the finals will be singers.
I think Kechi got a sympathy vote. She's a good singer but not as good as Mandy Harvey or Johnny Manuel. I think Collin got robbed.
Glad to see Diavolo got through. I can't believe they weren't first.
I'm hoping for a Preacher Lawson or Darci Lynn win. I'd like to an "act" win, not a singer.

I even love the girl with Hero the dog. Anything act but a singer. |

Any of those three I'd like to see win. Diavolo, though requires such an unbelievable mastery of so many people, I find it incredible. |

I tend to choose those who I'd pay big bucks to see in Vegas.
Diavolo
Collin
Darci Lynn (with Terry Fater or Paul Zerdan would be amazing)
Light Balance
