I don't even know if anyone watches, but this is my own personal ranking and I'm going to be doing it every week so if you want to be tagged let me know.

Act of the Night: Shin Lim - Magician
Normally I hate magic acts because it's always easy to figure out how the tricks are done. This guy was just so good with sleight of hand that I had to give him the top spot for the episode. This was just trick after trick and it was all concealed so well. I much prefer close-up magic because I think it's a much harder trick to pull off. Well done.
#2 - We Three - Family Band
I hate when acts try to use a sob story to gain favor with the judges, especially when they wind up being mediocre afterwards. They had the story, but the singers were fantastic together. I never really love original songs, so I need to see what else they can sing if they start doing covers. Time will tell, but I thought this was a great first audition.
#3 - La Fontane Umane - Variety Act
I'll just let the video speak for itself.
#4 - Junior New System - Dance Group
This was certainly a different kind of dance group. They went the fun approach, which I appreciate. They weren't always in perfect sync but it was overall a good time and I wanted to root for them because of their background. Overall this was a lackluster episode though I feel, so I guess this was maybe higher than it should be.
Golden Buzzer worthy? I don't know. I feel like we've seen it before. It's another wannabe Cirque Du Soleil group. I mean they're good yes. They're not the best type of act like this I've seen on the show though. Diavolo last season was better, and they didn't do all that well. I can't see them going very far.
#6 - The Sacred Riana - Magic/Horror Act https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzEQNDNaSXA
Ugh, I saw her on I think Britain's Got Talent and was just very whelmed when I saw her the first time. This wasn't much different. I get her schtick but it didn't win me over really.
#7 - Flau'jae - Rapper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmCRMS3xElU
Simon really seemed to love her. I didn't think she was particularly great. Maybe with some training she can be, I know she's only 14...but the fact that everyone was so amped up over her was a little bit of an overreaction in my opinion.
#8 - Vicki Barbolak - Comedienne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSKQd5A61pg
Urgh. I thought she was more cringe than funny. The fact that she went through means the comedy talent this year must have been horrible, but it's also likely another better comedian will be in a future episode.
#9 - The Savitsky Cats - Animal Act https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e0z3-iZ_TY
I have HAD IT with the animal acts on this show. They come on, do the same damn routine literally every week, and then get votes for it. It's not a sustainable act, it's just annoying. Get it away from me.
Stealing Kob3Sm1th's tags from his Voice blogs since it's another NBC talent show, if you don't want me to tag you in the future just say so.
I am yet to watch haha! But AGT is usually the best, I heard something about an All-Stars? Is this true? People over here are thinking that whoever wins BGT this year gets a spot on it (because Simon said that there was something extra for the winner this year or something)
I liked the editing they did with the golden buzzer, and I guess it's better than a singer.
And yeah I agree animals acts are amazing and incredibly cute but there's just not much to it that you can make it varied lol
