Granted, there have been a few decent acts on here, for instance the dance troupe, "Fighting Gravity", who are simply amazing - I would pay to see them live! They are probably my favorite of all of the acts.
There's also a little girl named Jackie Evancho, who is only 10 years old, but her voice sounds so much bigger and older than that. She truly will have a bright career, I believe.
There are a few other ones that were good, and I really don't understand why they didn't make it to the top 4 for the finale. I was under the impression that the act they were looking for was something you would see in Las Vegas - something outrageous, with lots of fireworks and lights and all of that, but they let a lot of those go in lieu of an act like Michael Grimm, who, while an tremendous talent with an amazing voice, isn't exactly the type of thing I would think they'd be clamoring for at the Bellagio.
Oh, well, this evening's stroke is a bright, almost neon yellow, for my pick (but not America's pick - they came in 3rd), "Fighting Gravity". I'm sure they'll have quite a career ahead of them. Ol' Michael Grimm, the country boy from Mississippi with the great soul voice ended up winning it all. It's probably for the best, really - he wins the $1million which he gets to share with his grandma and grandpa, who raised him, and it saves Jackie, the little girl, from getting swallowed up in Vegas. That's no city for a 10-year-old, I'm sure. Not to be headlining a show at a casino, at least! I'm sure Prince Poppycock will turn up in Vegas at some point, too. He's too much of an entertainer to not do something big!

By the way - we'll be down in Cassville this weekend helping out with a wedding. Most likely I'll be able to get to a computer somehow, but just in case I can't, I will be at least doing my blog in Notepad or Word or something, and I'll upload them Sunday or Monday when we're back. Fear not, loyal reader! :-)
