My opinion:
Didn't make the top 5:
Laura Bretan - Amazing, but I'm not into opera, or solo singers on this show when we have other shows for that.
Tape Face - Hilarious, but maybe not that hilarious.

Viktor Kee, heckuva showman.... I like the short sets, would not go see an hour or longer Vegas show. He was 5th in his semi, the last to advance. Unlikely to win.
Linkin' Bridge.

Such a rich sound!
Sofie Dossi! ... Wow. 4th in her semi, may be in trouble. My favorite. Finals:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNN9Ty9_0vc
I'll bet she's already being courted by Cirque du Soleil and others, may end up in Vegas soon, regardless.
5th: Sal Valentinetti - Another solo singer.
4th: Brian Justin Crum - Another solo singer.
"Only 1% separated the top 3."
3rd: Jon Dorenbos - Can't see magic being the best talent.
That leaves:
The Clairvoyants - More magic.
Grace VanderWaal - If a solo singer wins, I hope it's her. Cutie pie, original songs, rare voice - reminds me of Melanie. She's my pick for 3rd. Finals:

"Grace VanderWaal was announced as the winner making it the first time that a female act has won the show since Season 1." This is Season 11. 
They advanced on a 3-1 vote. Simon hated them. Don't know if it'll still be fresh enough after a few performances, but advanced for now. She could win. She's got other vids on YT if you're as captivated as I am. This backstory video is really just the first 2 minutes, you've already seen the rest: "I work in human resources." Irony, 'cause he ain't human. I doubt that a contortionist can win it all and there may be better ones out there, but he's an excellent showman. 1,121,407 views already. I doubt that a jump roper can win it all, but I've never seen tricks like that. He could go far. Rock on. Y'all remember Papa John Creach?

They could win it all. Their friends and family networks alone are a healthy voting bloc. Okay by me. They did it again, even better.

I like Olivia Munn's ruse at the end.
$1,000,000 / 160 = $6250.

I like the drum lines, they always bring something extra. Howie might be correct, I'll bet the acoustics are even more amazing in the theater.
I failed in the first 13 minutes. These two acts plus Diabolo Artist Mochi are up for a single audience save. Not choosing between my favs, but I'll bet that Angel City Chorale gets saved. Opps, I'd forgotten how it works with the 6th, 7th and 8th most favorite acts. The audience did indeed save Angel City ChoraleVrede too wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 8:20 pm
Week 1 (August 14–15)
, then it was up to the judges to save another act. They tied 2-2, so it was kicked back to how the audience had voted - not sure if it was last night, tonight or combined. Junior New System got saved , presumably the 7th place act. So, they'll need to step it up ( 
) in order to survive the semis. and phenom singer Courtney Hadwin also advanced. I went 4 for 4, barely. :thumbsup: I'm a pretty mainstream American for a radical. Maybe not quite as sharp as the first two performances . . . but they're training friggin' cats!Vrede too wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:41 pmThey did it again, even better.

Ut-oh. They're 6th, 7th or 8th. Audience will save one, judges will save another (back to audience vote if they tie 2-2). They're losing the audience early.Vrede too wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 1:37 amQuarterfinals Week 2 (August 21–22)
7 out of 12 advance, others will be fine but just 2 I'm really rooting for, should have decent odds. Full screen for both.
