Aerial Animation performs on America's Got Talent 2014 Semi Finals (VIDEO)

Aerial Animation performed on America's Got Talent 9 Semi Finals 1 on Tuesday, August 26, 2014.

This routine (set to "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors) was good, but not as eye-popping as previous ones. She's taken into the clouds by balloons, and all the way up into space among the constellations. She then descends into a circus, dancing all the while with her partner, making this the most involved he's been in a routine. It seemed more focused on delivering an interesting dance routine than with integrating the eye-popping visuals of the animation to create the appearance of, say, Abigail riding a horse or skipping across clouds. It's not a bad performance by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a bit underwhelming, considering what came before.

Mel B says that the delivery was very disjointed, and that she doesn't need the guy so much at this stage of the competition. Heidi feels that every time she was on the stage, she's gotten better and better; but she felt tonight that she took a step back. Howard disagrees, saying this is a very smart performance, telling Abigail's partner that he did a great job, illustrating his strength in hoisting up his partner. "I say fantastic, and I hope you go on. Terrific job." Howie says he feels like he agrees with absolutely everybody. On the one hand, they need to experiment as artists; on the other, he felt that there was an imbalance between the animation and dance. Still, he likes the act. Abigail says she thinks the act is so much bigger than her, with its imagination and potential. She fights back tears as she says that being on this stage has shown her just how far she can go. I do love this act, even if this wasn't my favorite performance of theirs. I still hope they go through.
