America's Got Talent Season 11 - Live Shows - Quarterfinals Week 2

Mel B is wearing a red outfit that includes a dog collar. This outfit was very distracting the entire show. 

Flip - Dance routing to an Asian theme wearing gold outfits. I think this was much better than their judge's cuts performance. It seemed crisper and more rehearsed. Simon nor Howie liked it.
--Does not go through to the next round

Moya Angela - Tonight she sang the Whitney Houston song "I Didn't (Don't) Know My Own Strength". Her voice still sounds great. I loved how the band and backup singers appeared from below the stage. I think it was the right song choice for her. It seems very fitting for her story. Mel B didn't care for it very much. @MoyaAngela
--Goes through to the next round

Viktor Kee - He popped out of a sphere to how Lady Gaga did when she came out of the egg. He dropped a ball. The performance didn't feel like he had add anything new to it. I want to see him do more than juggle balls. I'm not sure this is something he can do for 90 minutes. Heidi and Howie each loved loved it and made "balls" jokes. @ViktorKee
--Doesn't go through to the next round

Kadie Lynn - Sang the country song "My Church" by Maren Morris. As much as a country fan I am, I am not familiar with this song. Each performance has gotten better and better. I think. @KadieLynn
--Goes through the next round

Ryan and Amberlynn - I love their intro package that made them look like an all-american family. I love the dangerous stunts. He swallowed a curved sword. He then swallowed a crossbow arrow that Amberlynn shot at him from the top of a step ladder. The arrow was on fire and she shot it at a target that was in his mouth. She missed the target and shot Ryan in the neck. This is one of the most dangerous acts on the show. They commented several times that Ryan was injured even though he said he wasn't hurt. All of the judges commented that he needed to go see an EMT and go to the hospital. It seems they all throught he was shot through the next and blood was splattering all over the place. @ComedyDaredevil
--50/50 on whether they go through

Calysta Bevier - This was Simon's golden buzzer from the end of the auditions. She sang "Brave" by Sara Bareilles. She sounded just like Sara Bareilles. Another song that is fitting with their back story, which is ovarian cancer. The three singers so far tonight have been really strong. The youngsters are also very strong this year @CalyBev
--Goes through to the next round

Sofi Dossi - This is Reba's Golden Buzzer from the judge's cuts. Each performance she has stepped it up and this performance she adds some additional tricks to her quiver.The way she does things were feet seems so unnatural, yet she makes it look very natural. It's almost as if her lower body is something completely separated from her upper body. This time, she shot the arrow with her feet while blind folder. She even spun around while blindfolded and made it look like she was going to shoot the judges. I love this act.  @SofiDossie
--Goes through to the next round

The Clairvoyants - This is my favorite act on the show. They had a bowl of jellybeans and Amele guess what jelly bean each one ate. Amele then guess how many jelly beans were in a glass that Mel B filled up. I always get chills when I watch this act. My mind gets blown every time I watch this act. @ThommyAndAmele
--Goes through to the next round

Sal Valentinetti - This is Heidi's Golden Buzzer from the auditions. He blew the audience away with the song "I Did It My Way". His personality is magnetic. In his one performance, he demonstrated that he has pure showmanship. Tonight he did a typical Vegas act from the 50s and 60s. He wore a white tuxedo and had the big band behind him. He sang "Story Of My Life" by One Direction as an old fashioned jazz performance. Even though this is a new song, I felt like it was a classic Frankie Sinatra song. I didn't even recognize it as a current song
--Goes through to the next round

ThroWings - Still feels like the same performance as the previous two. It's a scary performance and impressive what they do, but I don't feel like they have a Vegas act that can do this for 90 minutes. The strobe lights didn't add anything new to the performance. Simon also commented that he wanted to see more @ThroWingsDuo
--50/50 on whether they go through

Steven Brundage - Steve was not put through at judge's cuts, but viewers petitioned and AGT brought him back as a wildcard. His Rubik's cube tricks were one of my favorites. He used a large Rubik's for part of his trick. Had Heidi and Mel B roll a die and hide the color of the cube. He had Howie mix up a cube and Steve matched the sides of his own cube behind his back. He then showed that the large cube also matched in sides with Howie's cube. 
--Goes through to the next round

Sos and Victoria - The intro piece was very fitting for their act. Was the quick change into the purple outfit intentional or an accident. It seems like something was supposed to happen to let her change into the purple outfit in front of the mirror. Looks like there were a lot of mistakes in this one that won't allow them to go through. We've also now seen the same act three times in a row and I don't think I want to see it anymore. Of course Heidi (Project Runway) likes this act.
