AGT Semi Final 1: My 6 Picks

Tweet

All eleven of the performances last night on America’s Got Talent were top notch. They fell naturally into two separate categories, however. Five of them were pleasant, but pedestrian. I won’t mention them here because they weren't memorable. You might see them again, but it would be in a carnival, high school concert or Amway convention. The other six, however, were pros. I would pay money to see them perform again and again. My favorite was Tape Face. He never disappoints. He is imaginative, creative and always entertaining. Lori Mae Hernandez is edgy and fearless. I expect to see her have a career in stand-up comedy, starting real soon. Jon Dorenbos, the football player turned magician, took too long, but once again did the impossible. His act proves that magic does exist. I have no idea how he is able to do what he does. Malevo, the group of stunning male dancers (who remind me of RiverDance), came up with another gorgeous routine. Too bad the stage lighting was distracting. It was hard to see the dance moves. I hope this is improved when they perform again. I saved the best of last night’s performances for last. I expect to see them in the finals in a couple of weeks. Coincidently, they are both sweet young girls with stunning voices and huge talent. Grace Vander Waal has a one of a kind voice. She plays the ukulele and sings songs of her own creation. All this at twelve. Laura Bretan is only fourteen, but has the full, powerful operatic voice of an angel. Both are superstars. If they don’t have contracts yet, I’m sure that they will before the show’s finale. Will you watch?
