Aaaand, we’re back, with twelve more acts trying to make it
through to the semi-finals.
The big question on everyone’s(and by everyone’s, I mean my)
mind is: will the talent pool suck as hard core as last week?
The answer? Yeah,
pretty much. There were a couple of
highlights, but mostly the show was pretty terrible again this week. Let’s get on to the individual acts, shall
we?
The Untouchables
certainly were not this week. Their act
was rather boring, even the music was more exciting than they were. They also didn’t showcase anything new. All their moves were old news, if you are
going to be a yawn-fest, at least give me new shinies to look at.
Rock Star Juggler
Mike Price also didn’t live up to his name.
I don’t think juggling is a thing that can make it huge. It didn’t help
that he had butterfingers through most of the act. His fire pins on the unicycle was clearly cut
way short due to his bobbling of the first circuit, and he dropped one after he
jumped down off the unicycle, too. His
act just wasn’t big enough, even with dousing a poor girl with supposed
gasoline and juggling fire over her.
Inspire the Fire
was the third act in a row that had a poorly chosen name. At least this time, they (poorly) chose a
song to go with their poor name.
Firework by Katy Perry is a terrible song anyway, and to butcher it, and
make it even worse is no small feat, though they did get an assist from the
sound mixers, the kings of their craft they are.
Cristin Sandu
fell. On the plus side, his cube spinny
thing was neat.
Elusive had a
very tricky act. As in, it was full of
tricks, and not a lot of dancing. It was
also very amateurish, and slightly boring to watch, even with the spins and
flips and whatnot. They didn’t really
connect to anything, and thus fail to connect to the audience.
Jake Wesley Rogers
sang Toxic. For reals. It was an…interesting arrangement, for lack
of a better term, and was very loungey.
Also: his hair was ridiculous,
and made it really hard to focus on just about anything else.
All Wheel Sports
did their act to Bulletproof, and it was neat.
I love any act that has to do with trampolines, so they had me at
hello. Unfortunately for them, the
camera people didn’t surprise anyone, and managed to bork up a fun performance yet
again.
Wordspit and the
Illest! utterly failed to engage me with their unintelligible lyrics. I couldn’t stand them in the audition round,
I don’t even recall them from Vegas, and now, they tried something new: an original song, which sucked big time. I hope I don’t have to see them again.
Jacob William
cracked me up again! He is so freaking
funny, it’s almost ridiculous. I don’t
know if it’s the nerd thing, or his supposed awkward character(I don’t think he’s
playing), but I just <3 him so much.
His jokes were great, and I love a comic that can use running gags and
throwbacks to full effect, which he did.
That’s also pretty amazing considering he had 90 seconds to use that
throwback, and did so at least three times.
All Beef Patty
was terrible, as I expected he would be from the auditions and from Vegas. No movement plus a terrible singing voice
equals no chance.
Spencer Horsman
decided to buck his image, and went for an illusion instead of an escape this
time, and I think it may hurt him. If he
does go through, it will be based on his previous performance and screen time.
Lightwire Theater
got a huge standing O, and I can see it, but I don’t get it, personally. They just don’t do anything for me. They supposedly had a story, but what it was,
I could not tell you. “It’s new and
exciting!” the judges tell them, completely ignoring Team iLuminate and
Fighting Gravity. The glowing light
shows are getting old, I think we need a new form of technological based
entertainment, but I just don’t know where it will come from.
And those were the acts!
Let’s check out my predictions for tomorrow.

Kind of slim pickins this week, and I’m not terribly confident
in either of my choices, but I guess we’ll find out tomorrow!
