I voted for Colin, Diavolo, Light Balance and Kechi. But America could always just vote for all or at least mostly singers! I tried to vote with a variety of acts!

America's Got Talent review: Did Colin
Cloud, Mandy Harvey rule second semifinals? September 13, 2017 The second America's Got
Talent semifinal show is bringing you
all sorts of talent, and hopefully also some great surprises
to go with it. Some of our favorites tonight include Colin
Cloud, Mandy Harvey, and Light Balance, so we're hoping
that they find a way to stand out from this field.Just
because these three are among our favorites, that doesn't
mean that they're going to get preferential treatment
here! Over the course of the night we're going to review
these performances, and rank them in order from our least-favorite to favorite on the
night. (We're doing something a little bit
different tonight.)
Be
sure to refresh the page here at CarterMatt over the course
of the night for more!11.
Pompeyo Family Dogs – Did the costumes get
in the way tonight? Well, we do think that dressing up the
dogs as penguins may have actually hurt their mobility.
Also, this was chaotic and a lot more all over the place in
compared to the previous act. We will say this: It got
better as it went on after getting off to a pretty poor
start with the dogs running around in confusion.
10.
Merrick Hanna – We love Merrick as a dancer
and we do think that he's got an amazing future on the
show. With that being said, we do think that Merrick does
still have a little ways to go on the road to being
complete. He needs larger productions and even more varied
styles of dance. Our feeling is that he should go off now,
hone his skill, and do So
You Can Think You Can Dance in several years when
he's eligible.
9.
Kechi – One of the themes of tonight for
singers (see Christian as well) is making questionable song
choices, and this didn't really do a whole lot for us.
While Kechi does have a nice voice, we felt listening to
this as though we were drawn in because of her story rather
than her talent. It pains us to say it, but at this point
that's not enough.
8.
Celine Tam – "How Far I'll Go" is the
first song that Celine has done this season that feels
age-appropriate for her. Moana is
a great movie, and we feel like she connected with the song
better. Did it showcase her voice perfectly? Probably not,
but we prefer this to her going up on stage and doing
predictable, big singing-show ballads. Couldn't disagree
more with Mel B over the song choice.
7.
Christian Guardino – This was a really good
performance for Christian, and a step up from a
somewhat-forgettable quarterfinals number. As for whether or
not it's enough to get him to the next phase of the
competition, that's still up in the air. We just think
that there are SO many singers this season and after
performing early in the night, he'll likely get
lost.
6.
Angelica
Hale – If we were basing this solely on the
first half of Angelica's closing performance, we'd have
her ranked even higher on this list. The first half of her
"Without You" performance was stunning, but then she
started to somewhat substitute feeling for hitting a ton of
big notes and showing everything that she could do. It's
impressive, but the pitch wavered ever so
slightly.
5.
Light Balance – The technology was
outstanding throughout the routine this time, which
technically went off without a hitch here. Were this last
week we'd probably say that this was our #3 favorite of
the night; however, this just so happens to be a week where
there are SO many performers who are all bringing in a crazy
level and we're beyond lucky to have this level of
talent.
4.
In the Stairwell – Dang, guys! This was so
much better than we imagined that it was going to be going
into it. With "Castle on the Hill," they evolved beyond
just the normal vocal group and into people capable of
delivering an emotional performance. We love these guys for
their service, but it was important that we could judge them
solely on their vocals. Tonight's performance made that
possible.
3. Mandy
Harvey – This was another incredible
performance from Mandy, and what we loved about it was that
it just oozed emotion. It was moving, haunting, and the
vocals were so raw. We loved her package tonight talking
about how music is not just about sound; it's about heart.
She proved that, and were it not for two other performances
tonight we'd say that this is the best one that we had a
chance to see during the show.
2. Diavolo –
Good luck trying to top this, any other acrobat act to ever
come on this show. At this point a whole lot of it just
boils down to personal preference between the top two, and
this was absolutely brilliant how much was crammed into this
moving, athletic, and stunning performance. This is a show
that could and should sell out all over the country right
now.
1. Colin Cloud –
This may be, bar none, the greatest mentalist stunt in the
history of the show. At first, we started off wondering if,
for the second straight performance, he was going too slow
with his delivery. Then, he showed off the package of him
going undercover to prove that "Ellen Rose Cheese" is
what he predicted would come out of his social-media
guessing game. The video was top-notch, and he is worthy of
the finale and then some after that.
