The first act going into the semi-finals is Emil and Dariel for their incredibly impressive and emotional chello performance, they can’t believe they are moving on. Mel B says that they need to keep doing what they do, there isn’t anything to change; just keep bringing out their amazing performances.

The next act going on to the semi-finals is Jonah Smith for his incredibly moving and emotional singing performance he did last night, Jonah introduces his band and is very happy to be moving on. Howard says that he is the real deal, the guy can really sing and his band is superb; their classic rock genre is perfect and he’s happy with them moving on.

The next act moving on to the semi-finals is Quintavious Johnson for his insane singing performance that made the audience and the judges give a standing applause. Heidi says that he is a rock-star and believes that he could win this all with his stage presence and powerful voice.

The next act moving on to the semi-finals is Smoothini, he did a small magic trick last night and he never expected to go through; he truly felt he did no do enough and is very grateful for this next shot to prove America. Howie says he’s very happy about this and the point was from where he was sitting he was amazed by the act; he knew America at home would enjoy it.

The two last acts left to the judges choice to move on are Kelli Glover and One Voice Children’s Choir, we get another look at their performances last night to give the judges a little reminder of what they are judging on.

Mel B says that it’s so difficult because she likes both acts a lot, the Children are so amazing and probably only got through with their song choice; though they sang it well. She loves Kelli and her passion for music, she decides she’s going with Kelli. Howard says that he believes both acts are strong and feels the Children have to coneect with the audience more, he decides he’s going with Kelli Glover. Howie says he loves Kelli and her great story, he’s also a big fan of the Children and believes their song was great; Howie chooses Kelli Glover is moving on to the next round.
