Having secured their place in the semi-finals, the first group of 12 hopefuls took to the stage again tonight in order to compete for a spot in the Top 10 of America's Got Talent's sixth season.
Here's what the judges had to say.
Zuma Zuma - Acrobatic Dance Group
The act includes fire breathing, as well as the group building massive towers atop stacks of wooden chairs. Piers admires the flexibility of some of their members and praises them for improving from previous rounds, keeping the audience engaged and putting on a "terrific" show. Sharon agrees, saying that she loves what they do and that they display such infectious enthusiasm, though she admits that it's not as good as past weeks. Howie sides with Sharon, claiming that it didn't share the same "exuberance" as past acts and that they didn't step it up from the quarter-finals.
Beth Ann Robinson - Dancer Here's what the judges had to say.

Howie sides with Sharon, claiming that it didn't share the same "exuberance" as past acts and that they didn't step it up from the quarter-finals.
Sharon thinks it's a "flawless" performance and hopes that American voters will take into consideration how young she is and how hard she works to compete with acts that have more people. Howie calls it "beautiful". He says that Beth Ann and what she does are "mesmerizing" when she begins dancing, and that she is "beyond her years". Piers insists that America should be proud that someone of her age possesses such "extraordinary talent" and confesses that they have not had many dancers who are technically better than her in the history of the show.
Sandou Trio Russian Bar - Acrobatic Group
The group changes it up by including singing with their act, with the female lead hanging upside down from a piano. Piers is unimpressed and buzzes "no" shortly into the act. Howie questions whether or not they were "going for comedy", admitting that they made a bad choice in leaving behind the "death-defying" aspects of their act. Piers calls it a "suicide mission", saying that they weren't voted through to sing badly on a piano but rather to perform on the Russian bar. Sharon agrees, calling it "disappointing" and saying that she is a "mediocre singer" and that they let themselves down, though she admires that they took a risk.
Kevin Colis - Singer/Songwriter
He performs a version of 'Rhythm of Love' by the Plain White Ts, which Piers buzzes "no" to partway through. Piers later admits that his nervousness was obvious and that the stage may have been too big for him, saying that it wasn't good enough to move forward in the competition. Sharon compares it to "something like The Wiggles", calling it very sweet and nice, but bland and forgettable. Howie thinks that he has a very good voice and considers him lucky to be part of the YouTube show as he was able to stand out during that round, but claims that he's not up to par with everyone else at this stage.
