Members Anderton Posted August 28, 2016 Members Share Posted August 28, 2016 Because I don't get cable, all my TV is over the internet. I happened upon America's Got Talent and frankly, there have been three acts that totally messed with my mind...the 14-year-old opera singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjyHZNWQ6I0 I mean, c'mon...14 years old? I think this is proof positive of reincarnation. The singer Bryan Crum who it seems doesn't actually do the singing, but something crawls out of him and sings on his behalf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi37OwYlyTE Yeah, it's a cover version of "Something in the Air Tonight," and yeah, it's pop music but the guy's possessed when he sings. And then there's the 12-year old ukulele-wielding songwriter from Suffern, NY... [video=youtube;g2JFo_Q-0NA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2JFo_Q-0NA She's quirky beyond her years and definitely not just a singer, but a natural entertainer. Whether you like the music or not doesn't really matter, because what all these three have is an incredible passion for what they do. Whether you like the kind of passion they have or not, they are definitely not phoning in their parts. I love seeing people who love music so much that is comes out of every pore of their bodies.

Members Anderton Posted September 3, 2016 Author Members Share Posted September 3, 2016 Update: I think they all made it through to the finals or semifinals or whatever they're doing. I'm not familiar with the fine points of the competition aspects... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author MikeRivers Posted September 3, 2016 CMS Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Somebody's got to have a different opinion, so it might as well be me. I don't get anything at all from Grace. If this is the future of pop music, I'll just stay in the pasture, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted September 4, 2016 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2016 Dude, she's 12. I suspect there will be a few changes in the years to come...especially after she discovers sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there will be a few changes in the years to come...especially after she discovers sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But that can happen with anyone. I guess I'm just not cut out to be a talent scout. Now, Presley Barker here is a 12 year old kid, or maybe he's still 11, who can really pick guitar. And it's not just that he plays fast and accurate, he has the phrasing down right and doesn't play the same licks over and over. [video=youtube_share;Ueit7shd-_Y] And who can forget The Collins Kids? (well, anyone who never heard of them, I guess) [video=youtube_share;1Ur7br6Y5CE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members techristian Posted September 4, 2016 Members Share Posted September 4, 2016 This girl got second place 4 years (or more) ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foUrBztgzZA I've watched the show since it began. Some things will amaze you , some will frighten and others disgust. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
