 'America's
Got Talent' Results Recap: 5 More Finalists and a Sad
Update

»America's
Got Talent capped off the Season 12 semifinals in grand
fashion, following up a rebound from the putrid
quarterfinals with a solid night of performances. Outside of
one unfortunate act -- which came courtesy the judges'
wildcard -- everyone brought their A game and delivered
arguably his or her respective best.

Still,
there's a clear deliniation between who should stay and
who should go, and the best part of the ideal lineup is that
includes just two singers. So if the worthy advance, it will
provide much needed genre diversity to the Top 10. But what
should happen isn't always what does happen, especially
when adorable children and plane crash survivors are
involved.


Breakdown and Predictions
The
five who deserve spots in the finale are Mandy Harvey,
Angelica Hale, Colin Cloud, Light Balance and Diavolo.
It's a solid mix with a few contenders, and none of the
eliminated acts in this scenario has a chance to win anyway.
The potential wrinkles in this plan are Celine Tam and
Kechi, two singers who rely on cuteness and inspiration more
than world-class chops. 
Celine
is Angelica Hale-lite (so much so that I actually confused
their pictures in my performance rankings) from vocal
prowess to star power, while Kechi garners votes based on
her horrific backstory. It's impossible not to root for
her, but from a strictly vocal standpoint, she's a cut
below the rest. 
Merrick
Hanna has an outside chance, even though his garage robot
friend and four-second harness flight failed to raise the
bar, while it's general consensus that sleigh-wreck
Pompeyo Family Dogs, happy-to-be-here In the Stairwell and
the formerly blind version of Manny from Modern
Family are going home. 
The
esteemed Derek Stauffer calls Kechi a lock for the finals,
but the nightmare scenario involves both her and Celine
cracking a Top 5 that includes a whopping four singers. I
hope it's not the case (it's my belief that Angelica
must cancel out Celine), but crazier things have
happened. 


On
to the show!
Who Needs Your Save?
After
the customary 10-minute behind-the-scenes recap, which
features Kechi tears consoled by a Simon hug and backstage
cheers for Angelica's biggest note, it's time to
find out which acts finished with the fourth-, fifth- and
sixth-most votes. 
Competing
for the final Dunkin' Save of Season 12 are: Colin
Cloud, Diavolo and Kechi.
It's
not unexpected, as I surmised she'd be the top candidate
for sixth-and-in. If she's the odd one out, we could
have our correct five. But I'm not sure I see a scenario
in which she doesn't win either the save or the judge
vote. Our best hope is for a split decision, absolving
everyone from having to choose against Kechi in a way that
isn't anonymous.  
Who's Headed to the
Finals?
After
a quick stop to see what's popping in the Dunkin'
Lounge, it's time for our first official results. Tyra
summons Christian Guardino, Merrick Hanna and Angelica
Hale.
Angelica
Hale is in the Top 10
It's
an easy trio, and Angelina's tears of joy are
infectious. In a good way. Next to learn their fates are
Celine Tan, Mandy Harvey and the Pompeyo Family. Could it be
real?
Mandy
Harvey is in the Top 10
Yes!
It is! It's real! It happened!
It
comes down to In the Stairwell and Light Balance, which
seems like an obvious choice. But they usually save the
shocking result for last (i.e. Sara and Hero over the
Englands). Did our nation's unwavering love of all
things 'Murica lead to a stunner? Stay tuned.
Get Drunk on Absinthe
Our
filler this evening comes courtesy the Cirque-like Las Vegas
show Absinthe,
which I actually saw a few years back at Caesars. It's
fantastical and fun, and it has boobies. 

There's
a strongman duo, some jugglers tossing toilet paper,
acrobatic tap dancers, a guy who pommel horses on a bathtub
filled with water followed by aerials, more jugglers with
bowling pins, a chick who climbs into a giant bubble, and
some fireworks to cap things off. 
I
highly recommend the show. 


Expecting the Expected?
Hilarity
ensues as Trya sits down with a some kids to get their takes
on piano-playing chickens, guys covered in cucumbers, mini
Village People and a dancing pumpkin man. Then they give
their advice to Simon, which includes "Be more
nicer." 
Go
ahead, try to get those 10 minutes back. OR ... watch it
again and waste another 10. You didn't have anything
better to do anyway. 

NOW,
will it be Light Balance (please?) or In the
Stairwell?
Light
Balance is in the Top 10
Whew. 
After
a Jimmy Kimmel ripoff called "America's Got
Tweets," during which the talent reads actual tweets,
it's time to end the suspense. 
Kechi
wins the Dunkin' Save
It
was bound to happen, so one worthy act is calling it a day.
Will it be Diavolo or Colin? Is it possible we're about
to have a Top 10 devoid of magic/mentalism? 
While
we wait, enjoy the non-mean Mean Tweets.


Simon
chooses DiavoloMel
chooses DiavoloHowie
chooses Diavolo
Diavolo
is in the Top 10
Wow,
not a single for Colin Cloud. And no magic in the finals.
What a sad concept. 
Ending on a Tragic Note
America
mostly got it right, and it's no surprise Kechi's
incredible and emotional backstory earned her some addtional
votes. I'm fine with her being rewarded for everything
she's overcome, and I hope her life continues on this
upward and inspirational path. 
Do
you agree with the decisions, particularly regarding Diavolo
vs. Colin? Who do you think was deserving of a spot in the
finale, and which advancing act should have been eliminated?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments section
below.
Finally,
before we part ways for the week, we have some sad news to
report. Evie
Clair's father, Amos Abplanalp, lost his battle with
cancer on September 7, at the age of 41, just one day after
America voted her through to the finals. Her journey has
been a gut-wrenching one she so gracefully and willingly
shared with all of us, and I'd be lying if I said I
hadn't shed more than a few tears for her and her family
along the way. 



It
is apparently unclear if she'll be taking the stage
again, but I can guarantee that if she does -- and if she
sings "A Thousand Years" as I previously hoped --
I will be my own Puddles Pity Party (screw it, I will be no
matter what). So please join me in offering condolances to
Evie during this tough time, and I hope they know the
collective thoughts and prayers of America are with their
family. 
Rest
in peace, Amos, and I cannot comprehend how proud you must
have been to witness your beautiful daughter capturing our
hearts.
