AGT Fantasy League: All Episode Thread - America's Got Talent

I didn't get into this ep as I did last week.  For whatever reason, my thoughts were more about AGT manipulations (especially placement of the acts in this ep) and how the jidges reactions were ridiculously boilerplate than usual.  I don't recall an ep where every single criticism, however minor as most of them were, were couched in positive terms without fail. 

I thought Unbeatables delivered yet again, but how was that more spectacular than the epic routine we saw last week?  Puhlease.  I was happily stunned that each jidge spoke only in glowing terms.  No shade whatsoever.  Given that they won a season, I don't see them getting the nod this time.

The blind singer absolutely destroyed (horribly) Queen's anthem.  It was criminal.  I tried like crazy to escape that reality.  Yet, each time I opened my eyes, catastrophe is what I see (saw).  He is arguably the most overrated and fortunate contestant in AGT histoire. 

Mel B pissed me off when she proclaimed that the drum line group never set a wrong foot.  When I was watching them, all I saw were missteps and chaotic (not good) choreography.  I love that genre and they gave good effort.  However, they are not elite.  Any number of HBCU drum lines would own them in competition. 

The "physical" acts pretty much nailed all of their stunts.  This genre just doesn't do it for me.  No worries, though, if any of them other than the single-legged dancer win.  I admire that guy greatly.  He deserves a ton of praise for his overcoming his handicap.  But, he is up against Cirque-level talent.  It just doesn't measure up.  I'd be very happy if he goes on and crushes a professional dance career.  He just might.

The overall "Team" gimmick has been annoying as can be.  I get that it was one more needed "story" element they could hammer in a super-contrived format.  If only I felt some genuine competitive spirit among the panel.  Oh, well.

I'm gonna take a flyer on the Gospel choir to win.  They were just fine in performance.  As the Easter season starts tomorrow, it would be a nice touch of symmetry.  My vote goes to Unbeatables, though.
