On September 11, 2024, the 17th episode of America’s Got Talent Season 19 aired, featuring the fifth live show of the summer. With only four acts advancing to the finale, here’s a ranking of the performances from the least impressive to the most memorable:
12. Ashes & Arrows
Their performance continued to fall flat, lacking the impact needed to stand out. Vocally adequate but uninspired, they didn’t manage to captivate the audience this time around.
11. Learnmore Jonasi
While Learnmore’s initial performances were strong, this one didn’t live up to expectations. His comedy was hit or miss, though his “Lion King” jokes provided a brief highlight.
10. Alex Sampson
The performance felt underwhelming, lacking the charisma and vocal strength seen in previous appearances. Despite efforts, Alex struggled to make a significant impression this time.
9. Kelsey Jane
Kelsey’s undeniable skill was overshadowed by a lack of wow factor. Although her background graphics were stunning, her performance didn’t quite resonate as strongly as in the past.
8. Reid Wilson
This performance, featuring a slow rendition of a classic, came across as somewhat dated. Despite being one of the youngest competitors, Reid struggled to stand out this week.
7. Roni Sagi & Rhythm
Roni and her dancing dog delivered a standout performance, particularly with the impressive foot placement routine. Their act was engaging and might be strong enough to push them into the finale.
6. Young-Min
Young-Min’s performance was impressive but lacked the memorability of previous acts. Despite the intricate details of his routine, he didn’t quite shine as brightly as other competitors.
5. Brent Street
Brent Street delivered a visually stunning performance with excellent choreography. Their act was akin to a live music video, making them a strong contender for the finale.
4. Pranysqa Mishra
Pranysqa gave her best performance of the season with a powerful rendition of a Panic! at the Disco hit. Her energy and emotional connection were evident, making her a likely candidate for the finale.
3. Richard Goodall
Richard’s vocal performance was the standout of the night. Despite his somewhat dated style, his passion and song choice resonated strongly with both judges and the audience.
2. Sky Elements
Sky Elements delivered a breathtaking performance that showcased their continued growth. Their use of drones was mesmerizing, positioning them as one of the top contenders for the title.
1. Solange Kardinaly
Solange closed the show with an exceptional performance, demonstrating her ability to deliver high-quality acts consistently. Her performance was flawless, making her a frontrunner for the win.
The top 12 acts brought a diverse range of talents to the stage, and as the competition heats up, it’s clear that the finale will be highly anticipated.
