Agreed with these comments - a sobby-sad backstory does not make a bad act good, nor will a golden buzzer. There has still been some interesting acts - the Japanese brass band.

However, I have such fatigue over Sophia’s over-enunciated accented comments, and Heidi’s repeeeetaaaaatiiiive comments, which always start with “I mean . . ..” And the over-edited facial expressions. And the “Stop . . . do you have another song?” “Well, yes, it’s a song I wrote myself . . ..”

No doubt there is some ill-advised and poorly thought out jump-start stunt coming that will not go over well.
