America's Got Talent Season 9 QF Week 4.

I'm going to split tonight's acts into 3 groups. The Good, The Okay, and The Terrible.



THE GOOD

1: Jonatan Riquelme (Danger Act) This was the act I's been waiting for all season. It was intense, it had me on edge, and I loved every second of it.

2: Ninna Buri (Contortionist) If this gal asks you if you are a god, you say "yes." And then watch her perform one of the most gorgeous contortionist acts you will ever see. She is a living work of art.


THE OKAY

3: Extreme (Dance Group) Performing after the Bad Boys of Ballet helped this act a lot. It may it so much better than it probably actually was.

4: Mothmen Dance (Aerial Dance Group)It's a good concept, but they really didn't take it to the elvels they should have. It all seemed pretty bland as a whole.

5: Kelli Glover (Singer) She sounded pretty good. But you have to be a great singer to really stand out on these shows. She isn't great.

6: Emil & Dariel (Cellists) Their rendition of "Can't Get No Satisfaction" was just, and this is the theme for most of the acts this season, fine. It was nothing special. Nothing really unique. I've seen much better covers of rock songs with non-traditional instruments on YouTube.

7: Jonah Smith: I take notes as I watch and then I type them out here, I got this guy marked as "Okay" but I'll be damned if I can remember a thing about him. And I'm typing this just 10 minutes after finishing the show.


THE BAD

8: Smoothini (Magician) The season's magic acts have been terrible. Smoothini was supposed to be the saving grace. He wasn't. The tricks were very good slight of hand tricks, but it's street magic performed on a stage. It was kind of sad to watch, and having Howie up there made it worse.

9: Quintavious Jones (Singer) Completely overrated. You could put a good engine into a car, but it still ain't going anywhere unless it has wheels. This kid doesn't have the wheels.

10: Once Voice Children's Choir (Choir) This was a mess. The kids really don't sound that great together and the lead girl's voice just isn't strong enough.

11: Dom The Bom's Triple Threat (Card Thrower) Another mess. The only thing this kid's got going for him is, he's a kid. Having watched a lot of Ricky Jay videos, if this kid was an adult doing all of this, it wouldn't really be impressive.

12: Bad Boys Of Ballet: This was the most boring act ever presented this season. Terrible.
