America’s Got Talent Wild Card Prediction

Thanks for all of those who have voted on my poll for America’s Got Talent wild card. Before I even looked at the current results of the Wild Card poll, I’d already pretty much decided that Donald Braswell was going to be the last member of the America’s Got Talent top 40 and by a landslide.

I honestly don’t have anything against Donald Braswell. In fact, I really liked him the first time he sang. However his last couple performances haven’t blown me away like his first one did. I’m not sure what it is. Despite all that, he seems to have really captured a part of America’s heart. America does love the underdog and what’s more underdog than getting sent home by the judges and only making it back because of injury to the Russian Bar trio (who I’m still sad we won’t get to see).

I was really hoping to see the brother and sister salsa dancers, Junior and Emily take the last spot, but it’s not going to happen.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter too much since I don’t think the wild card act will win it all. There’s just too much other talent in the competition that blows every wild card act out of the water.

Also, thank you all those who didn’t vote for Dan Mayer from Hartselle, Alabama (sword swallower). Seriously, at least come and break a world record in sword swallowing or something like that. Otherwise, it’s just another routine. That goes for all those dance troupes. You better matchup with the other thousands of dance troupes or else I think you’ve got to go.

That is all.

AGT’s Julienne Irwin – One Year Later

Since Julienne Irwin is probably my favorite ever contestant on America’s Got Talent (we’ll see if Jessica Price can dethrone her), I was definitely curious as to what Julienne Irwin was up to since leaving the show a year ago. Thankfully a local news crew did a little update on the whereabouts of Julienne Irwin:

It was interesting to know that Julienne Irwin went on tour with Kenny Rogers. Best of luck Julienne in Nashville. It’s a tough town, but I think you have the personality and incredible talent to make it. Just keep at it.

It looks like Julienne has already started recording a couple songs and music videos. I came across this one called “Tell Me Why” Lyrics & Music by David Smart & Christian Lloyd with video provided by Brad & Brian Thompson of Segami

Man alive does she have one of the most pure and excellent voices I’ve heard. I can’t wait to see what else she’s able to do in the future.

I also found this video of Julienne Irwin and Chris Richey singing God Bless the Broken Road:

I love seeing Julienne and other America’s Got Talent contestants in a more intimate setting. Not to mention, I bet that’s a memory that Chris Richey will have for his entire life.

I also happened across this video of Julienne being interviewed last year after the AGT season. How can you not like Julienne?

We’ll be watching for Julienne’s album to come out. Also, this is just the first of many posts I plan to do highlighting where the various America’s Got Talent acts are now.
