Tonight was by far the best night of the America’s Got Talent top 40. Piers was dead on when he said that it was likely the best episode ever in the America’s Got Talent top 40. The sad part for me is that I bet that the producers planned it this way. I hate that since a bunch of great acts aren’t going to make it through and a few mediocre acts made it through on previous episodes of America’s Got Talent.
That said, here’s some of my thoughts about the episode and the videos from the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals for season 4.
Jay Mattioli
Jay did a nice performance. It was basic tricks. I give him credit for fighting back when Piers and the judges said it was basic. The kid has the passion and a lot of people were pissed when he didn’t make it to the top 40, so I give him a long shot to go on.
FootworKINGz
Nice act. The smoke got in the way at the beginning and kind of tainted the act a little. For me the biggest problem is that more than what they did on this show would be pretty boring. I wouldn’t want to go and watch an entire show of this.
Marcus Terrell and the Serenades
Not going anywhere. The backup singers weren’t really much better than his previous ladies.
Dave Johnson
He could never live up to the Hoff song. However, it was nice to see him try.
Bri
Was anyone else bugged by the way her leg was split out. I think she was trying to face the cameras/judges, but it felt awkward. I’m not sure it’s the best song for her, but she has some talent. She just needs the right songs to make her special.
U4RIA Dance Crew
Great great performance. I’m just afraid it’s probably too out there to put them through to the next round. Too bad since it was awesome. Maybe on a different night.
Hairo Torres
Very cool tricks. It’s just too bad he’s a one trick pony. I hope he turns up on So You Think You Can Dance or America’s Best Dance Crew or something.
Mario and Jenny
Great act. Kind of slowed down and had a weak ending. Sadly, it’s such a great night I think they may be left out.
G-force
This wasn’t the best performance. The vocals were bad, but I do think the comparison to Jonas brothers is great. Plus, the 8 year old drummer I just absolutely adore. Too bad they’re on a great night since I’d like to see them again.
Jeffrey Ou
The opening was too long and the dancers weren’t needed. The rest we can’t judge. He deserves another chance for that.
Lawrence Beaman
He’s got talent, but not the way the judges and even Nick gushed over him.
Pixie Mystere
I disagree with the judges. I say more contortion and less dancing. I was glad to finally see a full act from the Pixies
Tonight is the reason that I love America’s Got Talent. A wide variety of great talent. I just wish that the entire America’s Got Talent top 40 had been this good. Then, this season would be soooo much better.

What is the song called that pixie mystere does their performance to?
“The sad part for me is that I bet that the producers planned it this way. I hate that since a bunch of great acts aren’t going to make it through and a few mediocre acts made it through on previous episodes of America’s Got Talent.”
I’ve been thinking the same thing – during the previous weeks we had at most one or two decent acts per show. This week we had quite a few good acts. So good acts will go home while the bad acts went through. I wish these shows were less manipulated.
“She just needs the right songs to make her special.”
The problem is – performers don’t have that much of a choice. Quite a lot of people commented how the performers are given just a few songs to choose from. I even read, one of the judges’ comment about a singer how she “had been given a difficul song to sing”. How about giving people a choice to show what they can do best? Bri was off pitch quite a lot – was it because she is just not good or because she was given the wrong song and no time to learn it? I wish I could be sure either way.
I’d be very surprised if it were Geffrey Ou who choose these dancers. I’d bet real money it was the producers…
Yes, it’s true that the producers only give you a couple songs to choose from and from what I hear there is one that they really want you to have. I agree that Ou didn’t choose the girls. He would have chosen younger girls had it been his idea;-) The producers are trying to produce the show.
However, I think that the performers do have some say. For example, did you notice that the Fab Five were completely modest. I’m sure that wasn’t coincidence. I’m sure that was by their request. Otherwise, you know the producers would have had them all looking like hookers.
Personally, I thought Bri was the best thing in this entire show. She reminds me alot of Tori Amos, actually. She has “IT”, and I was sad to see her go home. Hopefully, she’ll go far even without AGT.
Right now I’m going with Mario and Jenny. They are so great together and so incredibly entertaining and creative.
