America's Got Talent 7 Semifinal #1 (Aug 28-29) Discussion *SPOILERS*

[JohnnyK]

Thread to discuss (and rant) about this week's show.

[JohnnyK]

I think that was Andrew's best performance yet. Why did they put him first, though?

[JohnnyK]

Dittelman's "triangle in a circle" trick wasn't that impressive. He told us to think of a shape, not a square (so triangle would be the most common pick), and something around it (which would clearly be a circle). Other than that, pretty cool.

[JohnnyK]

Here comes Turf and Howie's completely obsessing over him again. "This is your life, this is your flesh, you need this!" Give me a darn break. (tweet?)

[JohnnyK]

Joe is still great and I like his speeches at the end of his act <3 It's not fair saying he's starting to be similar though. Because literally he isn't. It's like saying a singer is being "similar" all the time because they sing.

[JohnnyK]

Did William Close say his baby's name is Phoenix? He just gets more and more epic <333

[JohnnyK]

Tom was good tonight. A lot better than his QF, imo.

I hate NBC! Why is the deck so stacked with only 3 to choose to go on?

I did find out that I can vote so I voted for William Close, Tom Cotter and threw a few votes at Dittleman and Rebekah and Donovan.

Todd Oliver was good too. Really great show tonight, the only one I don't get is that Edon kid or Bria Kelly. Neither are original enough, although they can sing well.

[JohnnyK]

I'm not a big fan of the format change either. I wonder if there will be a judges' vote for the third spot?

[JohnnyK]

Just rewatched the Scott Brothers. They're still amazing. If they don't make it, then none of the dancers tonight should.
