I will present to you tonight's acts from best to worst.
1. Valo & Booby (Danger Act) This was innovative, risky, and
dangerous. It was also fantastic. I love acts that make me sit up and
pay attention and this one had me on edge.
2. J.D. Anderson (Strongman Act) Just like Valo and Bobby, this was
entertaining to watch. This risk involved kicks it up a notch. And
watching him mess one up and almost blocking out just added to the
excitement.
3. Dan Naturman (Comedian) The doctor bit was very good. He made me laugh out loud, which is what a comedian is supposed to do.
4. Miguel Dakota (Singer) He sang "Come Together" by The Beatles.
Finally, a singer that knows how to mix it up once in a while. Biggest
pet peeve are singers who perform the same way over and over on these
shows. He was the best singer of the night.
5. Jasmine Flowers (Fan Dancers) I'm not a fan (wink wink) of
general dance groups, but the dance groups that bring something
interesting into their acts are always welcome. The fan dancing is
great. They just need to kick it up a notch.
6. Flight Crew Jump Rope (Rope Jumpers) This wasn't exciting as it
could have been. They said it was dangerous, but it looked liked they
played it safe. It's fun to watch, but it didn't make me sit up and pay
too much attention.
7. Emily West (Singer) She sang "Chandelier" by Sia. This wasn't
very impressive. The song sucks, her voice was good, but it just didn't
have the right kind of spark. She looks like she does belong in New
York though. Just on a street corner and not at Radio City Music Hall.
8. The Willis Clan (Singing Group) They sang "Power of Love" by Huey
Lewis and The News. Points for singing a song from Back To The Future.
The bluegrass style could have worked if they had put a bit more energy
into it. As such, it felt kind of flat.
9. Baila Commingo (Dance Group) The can move fast and they are well
coordinated, which you would want from a dance group. But that's all
they do. Dance. Nothing added to it, nothing new. So, boring as hell.
10. Julia Goodwin (Singer) Sang "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls. She
would do really well on the stage she actually belongs on, a High School
Talent Show stage.
11. David & Leeman (Magicians) So, they had Howie read off a
word on a piece of a book page, that they had picked out. And when Howie
didn't give them the word they wanted, they had him pick a different
one, that they pointed out to him. What a shocking trick! This was all
around dull. The set up was dull and the reveal was dull. I've seen
better magic tricks at a 6 year old's birthday party.
12. Sean & Luke (Tap Dancers) Watching two guys tap dance is as
exciting as reading a Lego instruction booklet, without having any
Legos. You can't spell Tap Dancing Brothers without B-O-R-I-N-G.
