Under your #8 it should be “our” not “are biggest problem.” In addition to a poorly written piece, you are so off the mark, it’s clear you’re clueless about talent and the reality behind this “talent” show.
Worst: Miguel Dakota. Mara a close second. I’m sick of her bursting into tears every week after her song. She’s way too immature and fragile to be able to handle the rigors of a professional career. She lacks polish. She belts everything in a style that seems a bit affected rather than natural. Quintavious has talent, but his ego is showing. “God-given?” No more than anyone else on the stage. Mat Franco is the best of the magicians, not because his tricks or sleight of hand (NOT Slide of hand you moron) are particularly special, but because he has charisma and knows how to keep you entertained.
Mike Super. UGH. How is it that no one has called him out on his already existing professional career, and that AGT presents him as a discovery, when in fact he WON another NBC talent show called Phenomenon?
The cellist brothers are talented but aren’t a headliner act. Same thing goes for AcroArmy (Who goes to Vegas to watch gymnastics for an hour?)
The best part abou Christian is the dog. Christian only has a few tricks in him and you can only watch hand-balancing for a few minutes and then it’s boring.
Sons of Serendip are okay, but also lack the wow factor (other than the fabulous lead singer), and Howard’s right, their name sucks.
David & Leeman are entertaining and would be a good opening warm-up act for a stand-up comedian.
Blue Journey. They’re just dancers. The real talent is their choreographer and puppetmaster. But they’ve run out of new ideas.
Vocally, Emily West is great, but the gimmick of her style makeover is manipulative, and during the critiques (or gushing), she seems fake to me.
For pure talent and the ability to become a superstar, it’s Emily West, but I’m rooting for Mat Franco from this group.

In reply to Chuck Jones. EMILY WEST!!!!! She is a special beautiful woman. Great controlled singer and genuine, so rare in most females today.

Emily West can sing, but her 40’s-style movie queen schtick grew old weeks ago. Her rendition of NIWS was boring at the start & only picked up midway…and then it was over. She’s safe, though, and will probably win it all. Show should be renamed “America’s Got Singers & Magicians.”

In reply to guest. Finally! I found someone that saw what I saw! he just had a random ace in his mouth, not Howard's card! None of the judges caught this??

What’s up with Mat Franco? Why was the ace of spades on his forehead and not Howard’s card. Failed?

Matt Franco polished? It was simple slight of hand that any beginning magician can do! I like him, but this week’s trick, no big deal. And Miguel Dakota was HORRIBLE! I felt bad for him. What a poor song choice!. He started off bad and never recovered. You are obviously a moron, or deaf, dumb, and blind.
