PureAGT Season 8, Top 12 – SPOILERS!!! Who Made it Through to the Finale???
Hmmmm….was anyone else not all that impressed with the Olate Dogs or Terry Fator? I guess it kind of put it in perspective for me that this season really might be one of the strongest we’ve had…because I think almost any of the acts in this year’s top 12 could have beat the two returning champs we saw. …but anywho. The six acts advancing to next week’s finale are Kenichi Ebina, Cami Bradley, Taylor Williamson, Forte, Jimmy Rose, and Collins Key. And in quite possibly the most shocking snub of the evening – the Kristef Brothers did not advance. Say whaaaat?
So what happened? So many of us were sure they were a lock for the finale. I have two theories: one, audience complacence. Kristef was, arguably, the strongest act of last night, so some viewers may have assumed that they would be just fine and instead threw their votes to acts that had a bit of a stumble (Jimmy Rose, Collins Key). My other theory? Making the three acrobatic acts perform so close together at the beginning of the show just caused Kristef to get lost in the shuffle and America threw their votes to acts that performed later on. Regardless, I think Cami and/or Taylor should be thankful that Kristef couldn’t get the votes – because I have a feeling one of them would not have made it through otherwise.
Overall, I can’t say I’m too surprised with the results, with the exception of Kristef getting sent packing. Just thankful that Catapult and Branden James, the two most overrated acts of last night, did not get through. What are your thoughts? Keep an eye out for a “Who Will Win?” poll I’m posting later! 😉
The entire show tonight was a joke. Kristef got absolutely robbed. Here’s the best way I can put it.
After seeing MSQ blocked out an AGT recap night, I switched over to Encore. At 9 i went to NBC for results. Once 10 PM rolled around, I got this sinking feeling. I then realized that this was regret and that I should’ve watched the last hour of the Spike Lee movie.
jimmy rose does not have talent… hes a decent singer WHO ISNT EVEN PLAYING THE GUITAR IN FRONT OF HIM. America got it wrong, like really. These results were a f*ck up.
My feeling about Jimmy Rose being a Dark Horse pick for the Top 6 came true. IMHO, Kristef Brothers should have been voted through instead of Jimmy. I hope Forte(my favorite act) or Kenichi win, but Jimmy(with his huge support) may just end up winning.
I’m ok with these results. Good luck to them in the final! 🙂
I would have definitely rather seen the Kristef Brothers go through because you never know what they’re going to bring to the stage. I thought their last performance was a decent idea, but executed poorly. It wasn’t great humor and wasn’t great tricks. Although, I think the concept could be developed a little more into something spectacular.
Jimmy Rose is definitely the act that shouldn’t have been in the finals. We understand why. Between Country Music and former military he gets a lot of votes. With that said, as a big country fan, I think his singing is an embarrassment to country music. I’d rather see him than Kevin Skinner, but he’s just not that great of a singer or entertainer. He’s just got a great story and that’s often enough on AGT.
Terry Fator wasn’t on point last night. It seemed like he didn’t really want to be there. I think the $100 million contract went to his head and he’s kind of let himself go. He does put on a great Vegas show though. That said, his yodeling as a ventriloquist was amazing.
