So I am assuming that next week five acts will move forwards

Correct – five from each semi-final go into the final. (Assuming they do it the way they have done it in the previous three years.)

We have next week

Makayla Phillips
Junior New System
Duo Transcend
Amanda Mena

That’s only 10. One act that was told it was going home will be added as a wild card, although if the audience didn’t like it enough the first time to put it through, I doubt any wild card act will be in the top five in the semi-final.

So my top 12 are and the order I feel they might place

They only “place” the top five. The others, for all intents and purposes, tie for sixth place, although one of the “second five” usually gets added to the live show, along with the top two or three.

Speaking of which, my current guesses for the top five:
Courtney Hadwin
Shin Lim (I want to see him win, but I think Courtney has the young kids’ vote)
Samuel J. Comroe
Zurcaroh
Angel City Chorale
and the live show will be Courtney, Shin Lim, Samuel, and “wild card” Brian King Joseph

According to its Facebook page, Front Pictures has gotten the Wild Card and will be in the first semi-final. I am a little surprised, as this is the second time it has needed a wild card this season (although I wouldn’t put it past Simon to intentionally hold an act back in the judges’ cuts, only to put it through as a wild card – remember Season 1 of the USA version of The X Factor?).

I’m sure that 3.5 earthquake just three miles from my house last night was a coincidence, and not The Sacred Riana’s fans unleashing their wrath…

I hope there is a second wildcard…..mostly becuase I feel like The Future Kingz will get it.

Three quarter-finals x 7 acts + 1 wild card = 2 semi-finals of 11 acts each. This is how it has been done since 2016. And if anyone is wondering, there are no wild cards from the semi-finals into the final.

Between you, me, and everyone else reading this, I don’t see why they can’t have 3 wild cards and 12 in each semi-final.

I had Amanda going through but that was rough so I changed to Duo Transcend instead. Something about them last night made me go WOW

My top five:

• Shin Lim
• Courtney Hadwin
• Brian King Joseph
• Zurcaroh
• Duo Transcend

…but to be fair, I am not a fan of singers who don’t really “specialize”

My current guess for the top five in the results:

• Courtney Hadwin (I think there’s a teenage girl fanbase out there that will give her the advantage)
• Shin Lim
• Zurcaroh
• Daniel Emmet
• Brian King Joseph

and the Vegas show will be the top three and Vicki Barbolak (the only way I see two singers in the show is if there are two in the top three)

I really hope Shim or Brian win over Courtney. I love raw singers (Deftones is my favorite band), but I just don’t see the huge attraction to her that Grace and Darci had.  Not to mention young singers have already become played out.  At least Shim and Brian belong in Vegas, so why not make them the main attraction, AGT?

I don’t see anyone overtaking Courtney, though I want Shin to win. I think he’s got the most talent, he has the perfect Vegas act and he has the real showmanship. There is not a doubt in my mind Howie and AGT are behind Courtney.  Shin had reactions all over Utube as well as other performers, but they sure made it appear like she was the cat’s meow and the only one being reacted to. Not saying she doesn’t have talent, but I hate when they are focued so mush on 1 person. They did the same with Grace.

True but at the same time it seems like a lot of people are annoyed she was on the show in England so that could factor in
