AGT - America's Got Talent Season 12 - Page 4 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I thought the guy shot out of cannon was spectacular compared to other acts. He didn't even use a safety helmet. I thought it might be some sort of trick since the camera cut away briefly early in his flight, but after watching it again it looked real. I'm kind of glad he didn't get through to the next level because his next daring act would be too dangerous.

The roller skating couple is too dangerous already and they have to come up with something new for next time. Ring of fire maybe or what ...?

I suppose a singer will again. Fun show.

Have you guys never been to a circus where this was done? Helicopter was no big deal - it was never in play. I found it boring.

Yeah, I was underwhelmed by that from having seen people shot out of a cannon before. Good point about him not wearing a helmet, but I also thought the helicopter was just there for show and not adding to the danger with how close it was to the cannon. Still, I thought combined with his spectacular swinging high above the judges in the first round that he easily deserved to go through. Do they still do some kind of call back wild cards?

It looks like there are six live performance shows, so that makes it three shows in round one, two for the semis, and a final. If they stick with 12 per for the first round that means 3 wildcards.

I guess I can see sending the chair guy home because he already had a prominent role in a Vegas show and never belonged on AGT, but lol at sending him home compared to acts that advance.

15 year old magician was very good imo. the solo kid dancer that thinks he's a robot was awesome again, just not sure what else he has in him. Love watching him perform. The two dancers were really really meh to me, if they weren't like 9 they would not have advanced.

This was a really weak show overall, there was like 10 awful acts, including the dogs which were stupid af, basically nothing more you wouldn't see at a standard dog show with a few gags thrown in.

forgot about them, don't really get it. Didn't understand the army dancers getting through either

my very subjective, non singer rankings:

mentalist
robot dancer
Sarah/hero
preacher lawson
close up magician
seoul dancers
light up dance group
brobots
trump impersonator
hip hop dancers
kid dancers
rollerblading duo
acrobatic dance group
dog family
escape artist

As sob stories go, the Nigerian woman who was horribly disfigured as the only survivor of a plane crash with 61 16-year-old students is a pretty good one.

forgot about the circus guys, thought they were good but not great. should've gone through.

This is the first season I'm watching the entire way through, does a good sob story help you more than it should? because if so that's definitely A+

So glad they brought Bello back. That's the best performance I've ever seen on AGT. But I suppose that shouldn't be a surprise when he's been a big circus headliner for two decades.

oscar the mouse had me laughing

bello was good at the end, when he was in the rings I thought it was kinda lame

wasn't overly impressed with any of the singers, thought the first act was bad and singing trump was clearly off.

Yea the wheel of death was crazy. I missed how or why they brought him back, I thought he was out last week.

I was underwhelmed. I've seen it done much better with more risk/air time in at least two Cirque shows.

Lame that Bello doesn't even make the save possibility. I wanted Billy and Emily to go through too (because I want to look at Emily more), but their act is getting a bit stale. They just sold it better on the sob story. What would they do if they won, spin around for two hours? They couldn't fill a show. They are better as one act in a show.

God the schmaltz and heartstrings makes this almost unwatchable. And Tyra makes it worse. The twin brothers should never show their faces in public ever again. Soooooo bad.

I think the dogs could actually win the whole thing.

the dogs are awful and stale and awful. yes 2x awful

celine wasn't good tonight

escape artist was predictably lol

mirror image should be eliminated on the spot on principle

what an awful group, I didn't even think the singers were good. They should scrap like 90% of this field from tonight.

LoL at escape artist trying to do the same thing for the third time in a row, if it had worked. That's why you X. But, yeah, lame that any of these people are going through while Bello goes home.
