I"m kind of sorry Snap Boogie didn't make it, altho I can udnerstand why. His last performance was really badly choreographed. It's too bad.
I like the Smage Bros. too.

I'm hoping that some choreographer or some musical act will have noticed Snap Boogie and will offer him a job. and @Ketchuplover, I agree with Landau's BDW vibe.

Four acts in, and most everyone has bombed. Except for Landon Swank....he was awesome as usual. LANDON FTW!

Poplyfe got rave reviews, but the background band didn't sound that great to me. Maybe it was just bad sound quality.
Landau did great and so did Silhouettes. Great performances.

Landon's act was so simple, but very effective and mesmerizing. And he got wet!
I'm not crazy about the Silhouettes group as a whole, but they did well.

I vote for Landon Swank, Silhouette, iLuminate and Poplyfe. (I agree, the backing singers on PopLyfe were a little weak this week.) I also wouldn't mind Landau or the Smage Bros.

To me, PopLyfe was not very good. They sounded tinny.
I think it will be Team iLluminate, Landon Swank, Landau Murphy Jr and probably Silhouettes (even though I don't really like them).
Loved Landau's song. It gave me chills. You can really tell when Nick likes a performer. Like Piers said, I think he has a career in Vegas ahead of him. If he makes it through, I'd like to hear him sing Mack the Knife.
Team iLuminate is definitely the best performance of the night for me.

I voted for Silhouettes and PopLyfe and then wished I had saved some votes for ILuminate.

Again, Miami Dance bored me (didn't think they belonged in the top 10).
Lyse looked/sounded like a drag queen (too bad, she has great talent).
Anna had some flat notes. Big voice, needs a few more years.
Loved Swanky. Classic, simple, amazing. He does big and he does small. Can't wait for him to be here in Las Vegas.
Silhouette - they went back to their original concepts using bodies making props, and telling a story (and now we get the requiset heartbreaking background to show all the adversity they overcome). But American loves them.
PopLyfe - when they said "another big group" for their next song, I turned to konashark and called it (her voice is very much like MJ's). She was great, but her band was flat on the background vocals (slight miscue on the choreography at the end).
Smoge Brothers - next week (if they go thru), they should lay down the bikes at the end and Smalls jumps over them (LOL!).
West Springfield - moves too small for their concept. Disagree with Piers about them doing something outside of their genre (he probably would have slammed them for that). I blame the choreography.
Landau has Vegas all over him, get him a gig NOW! Frankie, Sammie, Dean, he can do them all.
From the first show, Team iLuminate was & is the act to beat. It's theirs to lose.
Our top 4: iLuminate, PopLyfe, Landau, Swank/Silhouettes are the toss-ups with Smoge Bros very close.

That's exactly how I feel.  I'm impressed by Landon Swank. He's got charisma. Silhouettes always make me cry for some reason. Landau is so great, love him. Poplyfe did better last week, but still see star quality in them.
Lys was bizarre last night.

(my morning coffee mocha almost came out of my nose).
With the male pole dancer; featured act at Krave (an Las Vegas alternative artist venue on the strip)!

Howie's "year of the dance" fell really flat last night.. I'm all about Landau for the win..another singer, but he's just so loveable!
I'm sure Iluminate is fantastic, but for me something must be lost in the live to TV translation, and it's the TV viewers that vote.
Too bad little Anna is this season, right on the heels of Jackie last year. I think if she'd have been in next season she could have taken it.
Love the Smoge's, but after last night I fear for the little guy. The venue is just too small for them to really show their potential. They didn't restrict Prof. Splash to the confines of the indoor stage to take his act to a higher level (pun intended). I think if the Smoge's were allowed to perform in the parking lot, they could really kick their act up a notch or two.. but, I doubt they'll be back again.
I'll never understand how that hip hop group beat out my Daniel Joseph Baker. They are truly average. It's pretty rare these days to see hip hop without any tricks at all.. there's not a single B Boy in the troop.. they really don't even seem to move their feet much. Time to go.
I'm still sad that Elew the piano player appeared to have dropped out of the competition, he was outstanding. He was put straight through to Vegas and was never seen again..
I also think that the original appeal of Lys was being a beautiful girl in braids and jeans that came out and sang opera. She's not that anymore, and her singing alone isn't enough to cut it.

I do think there is something off with the acoustics. It sounds like they are muffled or something, just my opinion .

For Kelliripa, I happened to see Elew in LA at the Staples Center in August. He is currently on tour as the opening act for Josh Groban on his "Straight to You Tour". That must be why he suddenly disappeared from the show! :-)

iLuminate on stage with Smage Bros - iLuminate go through
PopLyfe on stage with Landon Swank - I thought it was going to Landon, but no it went to Poplyfe
Lys on stage with Miami Dance - neither go through
West Springfield on stage with Silhouette - Silhouette go through
Anna on stage with Landau - Landau goes through and Anna cries  don't know why they had to put her on stage right at the end, you could tell Landau couldn't even celebrate his own success as he was feeling bad for Anna

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr - goosebumps. Whether he wins or not, he will have a career in Vegas.
