Here is Tyler’s analysis of this week’s 11 live acts:
I keep saying this, but 3 Shades of Blue‘s lead singer needs to choose better songs and needs to start being as good as the rest of his band, or it’s lights out for them.
A young singer with a great voice? That may spell trouble for Alicia Michilli. She’s not memorable and there’s the singer’s curse.
Ditto for Alondra Santos and Daniella Mass. These women will have to be extremely memorable to be in consideration.
With Siro-A’s shocking elimination, Freelusion Dance Company could be in trouble.
Gary Vider will absolutely get swallowed up against better comics like Paul and Piff.
And speaking of Paul Zerdin, he is heavily in contention to win. Should do absolutely fine.
Even after a lackluster round in the Quarterfinals, I still think Piff the Magic Dragon will bounce back like a beach ball.
Sharon Irving could go through, but she’ll have to be wonderful.
No one does what The Professional Regurgitator does. He had a lifetime to hone his skills and he should sail through.
Uzeyer Novruzov may be in trouble since he could possibly be abandoning the ladder.
At this early stage, Tyler predicts that the following five acts will advance to the next round: Freelusion, Paul Zerdin, Piff the Magic Dragon, Stevie Starr and Uzeyer. Have YOU voted yet?

For example, if the majority of users think The Professional Regurgitator will go through, that means he’ll have the best odds and will go to the front of the pack. Conversely, the contestants who don’t receive many predictions have the worst odds and will go to the bottom of the pile.
‘America’s Got Talent’ poll: Did any of the judges waste their Golden Buzzers?
Remember that coming out on top doesn’t just mean answering that week’s questions correctly. You also have to use your three big bets (500 points and two of 200 points) strategically to score the most game points. If you bet on a longshot who pulls off an upset, you can really rack up the points, so don’t take them for granted.
