Well,
Gymkana's act went wrong.......BIG TIME!
Smage Bros. Riding Shows was "ok", but noticed that a couple of riders put one of their feet down to attain balance on the bike after a flip........that's a NO, NO!!
Summerwind Skippers.......DON'T drop or miss the skip rope!
Professor Splash......I won't EVEN go there!

Best acts:
Anna Graceman.........only one word for this little girl, TERRIFIC!!
Landau Eugene Murphy.........another TERRIFIC!!

I totally agree w/ you! I love them both, but I think Landau would be a better Vegas act. I know I'd go see him. I even called last night voting for him, first time ever.

Agree but as much as I love Landau, I have to agree with Piers; he didn't get some of the early notes, looked nervous and moved stiffly over the stage. Not good enough for Vegas but he can improve with coaching.

If you are going to sing Sinatra, people will expect you to move like him. No doubt though, Landau would make a great studio recording artist.

That little girl, Anna Graceman, is awesome!

I agree on all of the above. I also thought the magician (I've forgotten his name) did an excellent job. He's really innovative and builds excitement in his act. Classy guy. Easy on the eyes, too!

I can't believe Professor Splash made it this far. How do you make a 1-hour Vegas show of an idiot diving once into a shallow pool? It's a carnival act; not a Vegas show.

Landon Swank and he can just stand there and look gorgeous for my taste. He resembles one of the hunks in the Soap I watch. He did have a good act too.

I thought the Illuminates fell flat at the end of their performance. I didn't quite get it and I didn't see an ending. But I liked the beginning.

Of all of them, I think Professor Splash is the least of all talent. I wouldn't pay to see him.

Also, I have to admit, I don't find dangerous acts very entertaining. They make me nervous worrying about the participants and I can't enjoy them.

If you watched last night, did you see Anna "tearing" after Landau was announced that he had made it as well. The judges sure were happy that both of them are in the Top 10! Landon Swank sort of reminds me of Lance Burton in Vegas.......glad he made it thru also. Team Illuminate and The Silhouettes are good-to-great groups, but The Silhouettes last performance wasn't nearly as good as their other.

When Nick announced that Anna made it, I thought, wth? Landau is fantastic. I was happy when Nick said that he made it also. Even if Landau doesn't win he'd surely be asked to sing in Vegas at least once. The Sinatra sound and Vegas go together, imo.

I had a feeling as soon as Landau and Anna were called up together they would both make it through. I'm glad they did.

Anna is a classy young lady, isn't she. Her emotion was so genuine when Landau was told that he's going through as well.

I, too, thought Silhouettes was not as good this week as they were previously. I was a little bored with their act on Tuesday.

I'm also getting bored with big dance groups. Some of them are incredibly talented and have great choreography, but I find myself tiring of them pretty quickly. I also wonder how acts which are extremely acrobatic and energetic can possibly do an hour-long show in Vegas.

I am happy for Anna, Landau and Landon. The rest, kind of mediocre but I will miss the Kinetic King. He cracked me up. I hope he finds his Kinetic Queen.

How was Snap Boogie's performance in the semi finals? My kids and I missed the show because we did not have power and we were wondering how his performance was.

Thanks!
