Okay. So maybe using “Part 4″ in the title of this blog entry is a little misleading since I didn’t blog the other three Top 48 parts.

Then again, the three previous weeks had mostly good talent with only the occasional bomb. There really wasn’t a need to blog my opinion.

This week is a different story, however. More bombs fell tonight than has fallen in Afghanistan, Iraq, World War II, and World War I.

Combined.

VoteForTheWorst.com probably put it best in a tweet during the show.

Thoughts – is this the best.episode.ever. of #AGT so far tonight with so many train wrecks?

For once, Vote For The Worst wasn’t simply blowing smoke up our collective rears. For most of the show, anyway. They reverted back to normal before it was over, though.

The night started off at what was to be a world breaking act by The Kinetic King. And to his credit, it was a world breaking act, but in the category of the biggest flop ever on a competition show. See for yourself.

It would have been one thing if the sticks simply stopped popping halfway through or near the end. But the dang thing never got started.

Trick Designer dance group Zuma Zuma brought great hope to the stage with their double pole dancing routine. With an extremely energetic routine that simply defied the laws of gravity and what you would think was possible, the night was back on track and I was smiling.

Unfortunately, it would be several more acts before I would crack any sort of smile.

Young girl singing group Avery and the Calico Hearts took the stage. It was the first time I had seen the group, and before the pre-performance video had finished playing, I was begging the judges to X them and put an end to my misery. And I was right to beg for a quick end, because once they started singing, they sounded like a bad Chipmunks impersonation.

Fortune improved slightly as juggler Charles Peachock took to the stage, juggling several tennis balls while using them to play a modified piano. It was an act that, I feel, would have worked as part of a juggling show. But as a standalone act, especially one that followed his last act of setting himself on fire, it lacked a needed pizzazz. And there was simply no need for his shirt to be ripped off in the middle of the performance.

What little movement forward was completely lost when Sam B took the stage. How this so-called dancer, who really doesn’t do anything other than jump around on stage, move his foot from one place to another, and wave ridiculously at everyone. It was like a Saturday Night Live sketch that went wrong. And you know how bad those are.

Singer Taylor Davis brought his guitar on stage to serenade us with a song. Unfortunately, he made a bad song choice, started off in the wrong key, and tried to sing in too low of a voice for too long. While he did sing higher notes as the song went on, he never really found the key he was suppose to be singing in. How Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel could possibly think he sang in key is way beyond me.

Comedienne and impressionist Melissa Villasenor took to the stage to make us laugh. Sadly, most of her routine wasn’t laughable. She did manage to get a few grins when she did a really spot-on impression of Sharon Osbourne, but the material itself simply wasn’t funny. Impressions are great, but they need funny material to go with it. I suggest she spend the next six months watching Rich Little. It might help.

Magician Scott Alexander took the stage next, which should have meant an amazing performance that would wow us to no end. Unfortunately, we get a very overused disappearing illusion. But while the trick was a disappointment, the showmanship was pretty good. Using a gospel choir to sing first, disappear in the box, and reappear in the side area was worth the 90 seconds we spent watching it.

We finally get a good great act on the stage again when Fatally Unique takes the stage. The dance crew gives us a very high energy performance that was amazing. I would happily sit through an entire Vegas show if they were the star. Great job, guys.

The Yellow Designs Stunt Team took the stage next, and it was also a high energy performance with a lot of amazing BMX stunts. There was a mishap at the end, but it didn’t take away from the performance. That was mainly because most of my attention was focused on the background and foreground dancers recreating the Alice in Wonderland tea party. In acts like this, you have to make sure we are focusing on the tricks and not the dancers.

Frank Miles, who specializes in performing dangerous acts, took the stage next. I can tell you that his act involved crossbows, but that’s about all I can tell you. That’s because I simply cannot watch live acts like his. I can watch a replay of it so long as all went well. But I simply cannot watch it live. I do know that his objective, of hitting the donut on top of his head, was not successful.

America’s Got Talent saved the best for last with Team iLuminate, the dancing group that dances in the dark with only various lights on their uniforms lighting up at various times. There are simply no words I could possibly use to describe how great their performance was, which at one point saw heads floating down their arms. While there are several acts that I like, I think they have the best act of the season. As much as I love watching them 90 seconds at a time, I can only imagine how much fun it would be to watch a 90 minute version of their show.

So there you go. My thoughts on the performances tonight. Tell me what you thought about the show tonight in the comments below.
