America's Got Talent S10 Power Rankings (Quarterfinals, Week 1)

Aug 11, 2015 by PowerRankings101

This week on AGT, we saw the first of the live performances, and to be honest, it was an underwhelming night, yet some favorites stuck out and with a whopping 7 acts making it through, there was room for some error. Some acts fell way below the bar, while some acts surprised me thoroughly, but overall, I'm hoping the future weeks hold tougher decisions. I only really enjoyed the Top 6 acts on my list, but there are some in the middle who need America's vote. So now, onto the rankings...

12. Triple Threat- These guys had the potential to be the America's Sweetheart act, but threw it all away by trying to make their act a "boy band" act. I don't think the judge's needed to be as harsh as they were, but I think that they certainly gave the worst performance of the night. I think they ruined the strong momentum that the beginning of the show had, and I'm afraid we've seen the end of them, unless they have lots of loyal fans...let's just say, "Vote for the Worst" ending their website was the best thing that happened to this season.

11. The Gentlemen- I never really liked this act, but they did give an okay performance. It just doesn't stack up to everything else, and I'm afraid they've reached the end of their journey.

10. Vita Radionova- I love her act, and think she's beautiful. But she definitely got swallowed up by the immense stage at Radio City, and I think she'll get votes, but not enough.

9. Craig and Micheline- I love these kinds of acts, but despite what Howard says, it was sloppy. I thought it could have been much more graceful, and looked like a rough pairing. Even though they underwhelmed, they were similar to Vita, but filled the stage better. They have a better shot than Vita, but their chance is still limited.

8. Benton Blount- This was boring to me, and very slow. However, there's a likability about him. I think he'll be forgotten about, but he's a fan favorite so I'm not completely sure, which is why he's in the middle of the pack.

7. Piff the Magic Dragon- I love Piff, and he is my favorite act, but I was disappointed with his performance. It was a trick that's been done in a much higher caliber, and he wasn't as funny. That being said, he's amazing enough from the past, and will go through based on past performances. He just needs to take it back to his original roots for next time.

6. Showproject- I loved this act tonight, but the judge's weren't 100% sold, which is why I'm nervous. They shocked me, and kept me entertained, and I hope they make it through.

5. Drew Lynch- Wow. This guy is charming. His material is good, but it's hard when you only have 2 minutes, and a speaking disability. He may get caught up towards the end, but he's safe for now, and still a funny comedian, with a moving story.

4. Alondra Santos- I was ready to put her at the bottom of my list with the Gentlemen, but she surprised me and gave an excellent performance! She did the right thing by keeping it contemporary and new, and deserves a spot in the top 21. I don't know if her early spot in the show will help, but Siro-A will make it, so she may make it. She was one of the better of the night.

3. Samantha Johnson- She gave a killer performance that would have won Idol, the Voice, or any other singing show. For AGT, I prefer variety, but she was a stand out, and turned a song that could've been risky and awful into something epically awesome.

2. Siro-A- They started off the show so well, and although some timing was off, it was entertaining nonetheless, and the closest to what a Vegas act should be. It's great entertainment, and they should fly through in a breeze.

1. Paul Zerdin- What a great act! His ventriloquism is spot on, his material is great, and he does things no other ventriloquists do. His act had me laughing more than the comedian, and wowed me more than the magician, and was even more entertaining than the beautiful Vita. He was a great way to almost end the night, and I agree with Howard that it was the most entertaining act of the night.

So we know Paul Zerdin, Siro-A, Samantha Johnson and Drew Lynch are locks. Piff is also a lock for being a fan-favorite. The remaining two spots are between Benton Blount, Showproject, Alondra Santos and probably Vita (for male voting aspect). Benton has been a favorite, so despite his shaky performance, he'll probably make it through. I'd have to say the last spot will go to Showproject, just because they were probably more remembered by the end of the night, and will probably get more votes than Alondra (who was also stunning).

PREDICTIONS:

Going Through- Paul Zerdin, Siro-A, Drew Lynch, Piff the Magic Dragon, Samantha Johnson, Showproject and Benton Blount

Eliminated- The Gentlemen, Triple Threat, Vita Radionova, Craig and Micheline, and unfortunately, Alondra Santos

It's a tough night, but we'll see how it goes, please sound off and speak your thoughts!!
