I saw this as it aired— she’s awesome and spooked my 10year old!

Her performances are the best bizarre magic I've ever witnessed by far. Her character is just so believable. She has set the bar high for bizarre. Absolutely fantastic.

"Mostly the only people interested are the only people interested."
I am not sure you are wrong in your criticism/cynicism. Much as I want to find a bizarre performance that fully validates the potential of the aesthetic, this is far from it for me. This woman has a successful act, and good for her. But I find it incredible: The autistic mimicry, the ersatz response of the audience, the bad acting from the judges – there is no credible through line to this. She’s not some spooky ghoul child who showed up for auditions in front of the cast of America's Got Talent. This is bad acting with card tricks. Give me Eugene Burger burning thread any day – better actor, more plausible plots. |

I like the character, but would like to see effects more in keeping with her character. The effects don't convey the sense of danger the character does.

Although it's NOT my kind of magic, I loved her act. Her personna reminded me of so many Japanese horror flicks (with dolls). I agree that it was basically a (forced) card act on AGT; but it was all the bells and whistles that went along with it that I enjoyed. As far as magic overall, no.. she's not Eugene Burger, but perhaps she'll help the overall public interest in the category of bizarre magic. Lynn

I'd be surprised if she made it past round 2. I saw some of "Asia's Got Talent," and it was a low bar to begin with. Kamu diundang khusus oleh Riana dan teman temannya untuk bermain bersama di Rumah Riana dan bertemu langsung pada tanggal diatas. Datang dan rasakan sensasi berbeda dari Rumah Hantu Riana, as they say.

I love the way she always stays in character. Never breaks character.

She's not getting a fair rap.

No one else is Eugene Burger, either. Indeed, Eugene wasn't at that age!

Might have. She didn't make it.

Bizaare magic isn't easy to pull off. You want to come off like Bela Lugosi but you fear you're coming across more like Grampa Munster.
Certainly Riana wasn't performing in anything approaching the ideal venue for bizarre magic. This was no candlelit room with blackout curtains. To the contrary, she's performing in a brightly lit Vegas-style theater. Bearing all this in mind, I think she did a fantastic job. |

I, for one, would jump at the chance of seeing full-length show featuring her.

Although I'm disappointed that she isn't moving on to the semifinals, I am not altogether surprised. It's not the target audience for her style of performance. I agree with you Mind Guerilla and Philemon, I think she's excellent and would love to see a full-length performance. Let's hope she gets enough boost from AGT to book a few!!
