What they do is definitely very unique and cool. The formations they make just by standing on each other in different ways are really interesting. However, I don't think this performance was better than their first one. It was not as exciting and there weren't as many stunts. They wasted too much time doing the stupid fire-eating and limbo-ing Overall, I was somewhat disappointed because I was expecting more jumping and stunts. (Click for YouTube Link)
She is a very graceful dancer, and she really takes control of the stage. I definitely enjoyed the performance, but it does concern me that the dancing could a little repetitive after a while compared to some of the other acts. I also liked the mirrors on the stage; it added a little something to the performance. Overall, I am very impressed with her dancing and her ability to make solo dancing so interesting to watch.

I understand their desire to show something different, but that never works on this show (i.e. Rhinestone Ropers). Her voice is not that good, the ribboning was not that good, and the upside-down piano playing was cool for like 2 seconds. They took a risk, and unfortunately it didn't pay off.

He is a good singer and performer, but I don't think he's good enough for this show. I think just about every other singer on the show could beat him out in the end. He needed a song that really showcased his voice, and I don't think this song really did it. (Click for YouTube Link)
To me, this act is still a less-cooler fighting gravity. Not only did he fall, but he essentially did the same thing as his last performance, and it wasn't that much better the second time. I see how he tried to add a story, but it didn't work that well. And what is that he says? There's something so cool he wants try NEXT time? Well why didn't he do it THIS time because he's about to be voted off! (Click for YouTube Link)
I definitely enjoyed them more this time than last, but I'm not sure they made the right song choice. I think they needed something more youthful. That said, they definitely performed this song well. Her voice was amazing yet again, and the band sounded great. I also liked the staging with the different squares. They put a cool, youthful twist on a classic song, and I was quite impressed considering how much I didn't really care for them last time. (Click for YouTube Link)
Every time they perform I am always bewildered as to how they are high school dance group. They are so professional and synchronized in their moves. I really liked the choreography this week and am even more impressed that they've put together 3 different routines in a span of 3 weeks. They are a great group and really deserve recognition.

I must say I am impressed (no pun intended) that she brings us new impressions every week. Even though I didn't know all the people she impersonated, I still found it pretty funny. She is definitely one of the most talented performers on the show; doing impressions is an extremely unique talent. I didn't think her performance was exceptional or that much better than her previous ones, but it was still pretty good. (Click for YouTube Link)
This performance was sort of a combination of their last two performances. I like how they still did the dancing (which is always cool) but I also liked the unique video game stuff they did. There's SO MUCH they can do with there act and I can't wait to see what they do next time! They are definitely one of the top 3 acts in the whole show (Click for YouTube Link)
I thought this performance was very good, but I miss the theatricality and fireceness of the last one. He has a great voice and is a very good piano player, but I think his exuberance is what really sets him apart, and I thought that was missing from this performance. I still thought it was great, I was just a tad bit disappointed. (Click for YouTube Link)
That was definitely very Vegas. It was big and grand with costumes, theme, and all. They do a lot of cool things and they can definitely take their dancing in a lot of different ways and styles. I didn't think they were super amazing or anything, but they were definitely good. They definitely have the benefit of having a lot of people to fill up the entire stage. (Click for YouTube Link)
She has a very good voice, and I really liked her song choice and how the stage was put together. I don't think she is as good as Barbara Padilla or Jackie Evancho, but she was definitely good. Just please don't vote for her just because of her story. (Click for YouTube Link)
