William Close returns to the AGT stage with his Earth Harp, determined to win the million-dollar prize.
Close should win the competition. However, we have seen some funny things happen an another show, Dancing With the Stars. So one never really knows how viewers will vote.
Rightardia doubts that anyone can beat William Close on America' Got Talent. The video should convince you. He blends musicality with artistic expression. Perhaps this is the most impressive act ever on this show.
The performance tonight was even more amazing. We will publish it once the embedded video is available.
William Close has invented more than 50 musical instruments.
If the judges had picked the winner, it would have been Jackie Evancho.
But America's Got Talent is a popularity contest and the 'lowest common denominator' usually wins.
Last year a 'chicken catcher' who fumbled badly in the finals won.
Rightardia doesn't want to underestimate the winner, Michael Grimm. He is probably the best popular singer to appear on the show ever and his rendition of an Al Green song in the semis last week was incredible. His final performance with Jewel was awesome.
"Fighting Gravity," a Blue men type of performance, was the most creative group on this series.
Rightardia would have guessed that the finals would have gone this way: Jackie Evancho, Fighting Gravity and Micheal Grimm.
Pop singers make a lot of money but they are also a 'dime a dozen.'
We would guess that Jackie Evancho will one day became a internationally famous opera singer. Fighting Gravity will be featured with the Blue Men and become a commercial phenomenon and Michael Grimm will have a long and successful career as a pop singer.
America's got Talent was smart to use YouTube as a talent resource. There was more talent in this series than any one prior.
Piers Morgan is taking over the Larry King show. Morgan is a highly intelligent man and not afraid to speak his mind.
This should make the new CNN Piers Morgan show very interesting.
Aug. 14: MSNBC's Alex Witt talked with vocal coach Robert Love about the 10-year-old "America's Got Talent" star.
Robert Love indicates that Jackie's performance was authentic but certainly improved with the studio audio America's Got Talent uses.
Witt thinks her voice will improve and reach new lows and highs. He also said she is using her head voice rather than her diaphragm voice which will not damage her singing ability
Jackie Evancho, a Pittsburgh native, wowed the crowd when she sang Puccini's famous "O Mia Babbino Caro" on Tuesday night's "America's Got Talent."
The petite performer, who was invited to appear on the show after winning an "AGT" YouTube contest.
She had the most votes for a YouTube performance.
Evancho, who describes her style as "classical crossover" like Sarah Brightman.
She began singing at the age of seven after hearing music from "The Phantom of the Opera." We hope to hear her rendition of some of the songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical.
That would certainly please the judges, Sharon Osorne and Piers Morgan, who are from the UK.
The 10-year-old opera singer, Jackie Evancho, impressed the judges Tuesday night during a live performance on 'America's Got Talent.'
The public voted overwhelmingly to keep of more than 20,000 YouTube videos submitted.
"I'm sort of half excited and half terrified," admitted judge Piers Morgan before the show which was filmed live in Hollywood, a first in its five-year history. Well, it's the most unpredictable show we've ever done."
Evancho is from Pittsburgh and the little operatic small wonder is so good that if you listened without looking you'd think she was a seasoned opera star.
"That is one of the most extraordinary performances I've seen on 'America's Got Talent'," said Morgan. Howie Mandel agreed. . .
Evancho should advance to the next round with no problem . . .
Jackie Evancho also proves that America has culture, too. She is America's newest prodigy.
