Last year's winner was a dog act. I was wrong in predicting that the producers would not allow another dog act beyond the Semis. Who knows? Maybe they'll win.

That dog is amazing, I could watch him all day.

The athleticism is off the charts but the moves and routine seem intuitive. I'm not picking up on cues or hand signals.

Tomorrow morning.

I actually watched the final hour tonight (for the first time) just to see Rhythm who I thought was the best. The drone show was cool too.

I guess computer programming is a "talent", but it doesn't feel like it to me. I like to see the full performance, not just the end result.

I would go watch a drone show. I just don't like that kind of thing for AGT.

Don't know, but it definitely wasn't 1,000. Maybe 250?

We got to see a brand new Roni and Rhythm performance, with others. Sweet.

I've seen Steve Aoki before as a guest on different shows, but not performing. Now I get why he's so big. Perfect with AIRFOOTWORKS! His father was a former wrestler who also founded the restaurant chain Benihana. His half-sister is model and actress Devon Aoki.

Richard Goodall sang "Don't Stop Believing" for his audition. This time with Journey members! I think it's his best song.

I got to see Solange Kardinaly again, with others. Go Solange!!!
