America's Got Talent Season 8 final

For the finals of "America's Got Talent" Season 8, the show did an interesting thing the Top 6 acts each re-performed a piece from earlier in the season, then they did a new original performance.This first round of retreads certainly favored certain types of acts. As Howie Mandel points out, Forte got to add a choir and some strings, while Jimmy Rose just kind of did his performance again. And Collins Key was charged with repeating a trick, while Taylor Williamson was at a HUGE disadvantage by having to perform the same jokes.

However, Williamson was rather delightful in the twist he put on his act, while Kenichi Ebina re-performed a routine but added a lot of pizzazz. Cami Bradley performed "Believe" again, but it was still beautiful. We definitely think the first round ended up serving Williamson, Collins Key and Ebina moreso than it did the singing acts, which was unusual.
