Last night was a combination from Seattle and New York City. As is frequently the case, NBC wants to showcase both low talent and high talent acts. There were plenty of both last night.
 
I will start with the lesser acts that are not going to Las Vegas:
 
Silvia Brasil 28 yof singer/dancer
 
Madmat the Indestructible man, who climbed a ladder made of swords
 
The Shanghai Pearl 27 yof who comes in a pink gorilla outfit which she jettisons. Unfortunately, that is the high point of her act.
 
Reality - a male/female duo who judges rated as very old-fashioned for singing "Rockin' the Boat" anytime in the past 50 years
 
Chris Kegley - 24 yom titled the Lone Ranger of Rock. I think his rock is not bad but not good either. He overreaches by setting up percussion to play remotely, playing a banjo remotely
 
The better acts were:
 
Keith Johnson 34 yom singer/guitarist; David says he "has charisma"
 
Pixie Mystere - 8 girls age 8 to 11 gymnastics performers with massively too much makeup for any age on, I otherwise thought they were cute, but they are a one trick pony. You will not see them in the round of 20.
 
Destined To Be - 5 young males who do synchronized dancing at a fairly high level. We'll be seeing a bit more of them.
 
Rashida Jolley- 16 yof sang and played the harp for "Killing Me Softly"; her talent is limited and won't get past the round of 20 but might get there
 
Kari Kellams- 41 yof who has a facial disfigurement but so what. She has a big beautiful voice and is a potential winner of this competition. She sang "Somewhere" from West Side Story. The judges loved her voice and so do I.
 
Matt and Anthony-males 24 and 22; one plays guitar and sings while the other is an extraordinary tapdancer/clogger . He does spins like you seldom see. This act has great talent and are headed to the top 10.
 
Brother/sister Luis bar and Laura Cantu- dancing the Argentine tango quite well.
 
Kalinin Family - man and his son acrobats
 
Christopher and Laura Camp - Husband and wife 40/41 he cracks a bullwhip and captured or moved objects on his wife's body. This looks dangerous but they appear to have it under control as he is very precise (he might need a new wife otherwise). She is very vivacious and adds style to the act.
 
Mia Boostrom a young female who did not make it past the round of 20 for AGT3. She is back and with more talent this time. Her act is a combination of keyboards and singing. She chooses "Georgia on My Mind" for this performance, no doubt saving her better songs for later in the competition when she will need her best. 
 
At the end of the night where a high talent is showcased, they had a high talent introduced by her husband, but not for AGT. Nick Cannon's wife is Mariah Carey and he introduced Mariah in a music video featuring the song "Obsession" from her new album.
 
I think that Kari Kellams and Matt and Anthony are the acts likely to make the top 10 and Kari could be in the final 5 and maybe even win.
