Welcome to Pure America’s Got Talent

Dang, I wrote this post a few months ago and planned on posting it just before Christmas. Oh well, Christmas has past, but I still think it’s fun to see what Julienne Irwin has been up to since AGT. Kenny Rogers Christmas is pretty big.

America’s Got Talent’s Nuttin’ But Stringz and Neal E. Boyd performed “Dance with My Father Again” at the Las Vegas show. Check out the video of their performance.

Check out the following video of Neal E. Boyd performing the song that won him America’s Got Talent: Nessun Dorma

I just posted Eli Mattson performing Walking in Memphis in Las Vegas. Here’s a second video from Eli Mattson’s Las Vegas performance. In this video, Eli Mattson sings the song Piano Man. Perfect song for Eli Mattson the Piano man.

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted on this site. I’ve had a ton of things to say, but I just needed a little break after the show. Time to start kicking back into gear. The next season’s auditions will be starting soon and I’m planning on covering Britain’s Got Talent if possible too.

Enough about me. I think that most people would have to agree that Eli Mattson’s version of Walking in Memphis was one of (if not the) best performance on this year’s season of America’s Got Talent. Here’s Eli Mattson performing Walking in Memphis at the America’s Got Talent Las Vegas show:

Not the best video quality, but it was fun to remember how good Eli Mattson really was. He has a very nice voice and I hope he produces a CD really soon.

I was just noticing that it’s been almost a week since I posted to this blog. I think this often happens for me near the end of America’s Got Talent. Not exactly sure why that happens, but it does. This year I think it was probably because I was in mourning/denial that America could have screwed things up so bad that they’d kick off my Jessica Price. Yes, she is mine.

Ok, she’s not really mine at all. I don’t know her aside from what I’ve seen on TV, read on Jessica Price’s myspace page and other online sources. I guess it’s like picking a horse in the Kentucky derby. You kind of grow fond of them and want them to win and so you feel like you somehow have some connection with them. The best I can boast is that I’m on the first page of google for a search for Jessica Price.

You can imagine my jealousy of John Gonzalez who did a full video interview of Jessica and even hosted a America’s Got Talent live chat during the show today. I wanted to stop by the chat, but 1. my kids came first (as so they should) and 2. since America’s Got Talent doesn’t start here in Vegas until a couple hours after Michigan, I didn’t want to hear any spoilers about the show.

It’s ok, I’m not really mad at John. He’s been very good to me and my blog. Now let’s just see if he can hook me up with an interview with Jessica. What do you think John?

Well, I’ll end my mourning by posting John Gonzalez’s interview of Jessica Price and then 2 Jessica Price “music videos”

Video of Jessica Price performing her song “You Are With Me” at home in Freeport, Mich.

One day when Jessica is famous, you can say that you heard her first on Pure America’s Got Talent.

P.S. Jessica, if you read this and somehow end up performing as a surprise guest at the America’s Got Talent Las Vegas Show my wife and I would love to take you for dinner.

Watching the following video you can understand perfectly how David Hasselhoff became so successful. The following is a montage of all David Hasselhoff’s incredible insights and wisdom from America’s Got Talent’s final top 20 episode.

The crazy thing is that David Hasselhoff really does have almost a cult following. I must admit I enjoyed him on Baywatch too. Well, at least when I noticed him past all of the girls in bathing suits.
