11. Schumacher: First and foremost, I absolutely loved every performance in this episode tonight, so good luck picking three acts America! Last I saw them, Schumacher was not my cup of tea. Turns out, this act is in my wheelhouse after all — I loved this one! I still think the Golden Buzzer for them in the first round was ridiculous, though.
10. Alex Sampson: Alex is a great singer and has a fun personality. In any other week, this song would have me easily going “send him to the next round now” but this week is so stacked that somehow, he ended up being less memorable for me. The resemblance to Shawn Mendes was even more evident with an outfit that the artist would probably wear too. I still think he has a huge chance to advance to the next round. Simon hit it on the nose that Alex was visibly nervous.
9. Brooke Bailey: She has an amazing voice that makes me so happy. Her audition was good, but this was incredible. Bonus points for noting that she possibly could be eliminated like Liv Warfield, an elimination I am still not over. Out of the solo singers tonight, she stands the best chance at advancing to the next round. Howie and Simon were not as impressed though, which might affect her voting base.
8. Bboy Samuka: This performance made me happy and conflicted all at once. Yes, he was amazing and rocked that stage like he does this on the regular. Saying that, I am not quite sure if it hit as well with the voting audience as it did with the in-studio crowd based off the social media reaction.
7. Ashlee Montague: This performer loves what she does, which is bizarre since she is really risking major injury every time. Adding fire was great and the ladder trick was terrifying. Will she advance to the next round? Probably not, but where else can you see an act like this? Howie was not as impressed.
