After last week’s terrible selections I didn’t hold out much hope for tonight’s episode. I thought that once again America would put through singer after singer and completely ignore unique acts. While I am glad that America moved on my favorite act remaining, I am disappointed that America had to put through several more singers. After the jump find out the final five acts to make the finals and how I would rank the top ten acts this season’s finals.
The final fives acts moved onto the finals include:
Hairo Torres-I was worried that he wasn’t going to make it to the finals since he was my favorite remaining contestant and all my final acts besides Terry Fator tend to be eliminated before the finals. What I like about him is that he is a very unique dancer and brings excitement and energy to his performances. It’s too bad that there is a very slim chance that Hairo will win the competition. The only way I can see it is if the six singers split votes and Hairo gives the performance of his life.Very unlikey scenario in my opinion.
Barbara Padilla-Like there was any chance that she wasn’t going to move onto the next round. She is a talented opera singer but opera singing is so boring and singers have dominated too long on America’s Got Talent. It would be nice if a different talent could actually win the competition for once since this is America’s Got Talent not America’s Got Singers.
Lawrence Beaman-I have essentially the same reaction to him making the finals as I did for Barbara Padilla. He is talented but I am not going to root for a singing act until a non-singing act finally wins America’s Got Talent. I don’t know if a non-singer is ever going to win though so I don’t think I will be rooting for a singer in a very very long time.
Drew Stevyns-I honestly don’t know what people see in him. He is not a terrible singer but I don’t think he should ever have made it out of the Vegas round. I want to really know why people put him through to the finals. I don’t think he really has much chance of winning but I have said that two rounds now and yet he continues to move on. If one of the singers have to win this season, I would hope that it would be either Barbara or Lawrence and not Drew Stevyns.
Recycled Percussion-While I am not a huge fan of Recycled Percussion, with so few non singing acts remaining I have to be a fan. They are very energetic on stage and are pretty exciting to watch so that does make them entertaining. Their music is solid as well. I really don’t think they have much chance of winning the competition just like the rest of the original acts.
I personally wish one more singer would have been sent home and in their place one more unique act would have made the finals (my preference would have been Acrodunk making the finals). At this point the singers are going to once again dominate the finals with 60% of the finalists being singers. No one talent should comprise that much of the finals of a talent competition that is supposed to embrace all forms of talent. I think America is going to end up picking yet another singer as the winner of the fourth season of America’s Got Talent.
It’s time for some predictions.
Here is how I would like the final vote to go:
- Hairo Torres
- The Fab Five
- Recycled Percussion
- Grandma Lee
- Lawrence Beaman
- Barbara Padilla
- The Voices of Glory
- The Texas Tenors
- Drew Stevyns
- Kevin Skinner
This is how I think the voting will turn out:
- Barbara Padilla
- Kevin Skinner
- Lawrence Beaman
- Grandma Lee
- The Fab Five
- Hairo Torres
- The Voices of Glory
- The Texas Tenors
- Recycled Percussion
- Drew Stevyns
