Welcome to Pure America’s Got Talent

This is a nice little candid interview with Neal E. Boyd after winning America’s Got Talent. He’s pretty good at promotion too. I think it shows you a little bit more about what Neal E. Boyd is like. I also love his talk of American Opera versus European Opera.

Looks like the America’s Got Talent poll was wrong in its prediction of the America’s Got Talent winner. I knew that the poll was skewed, because this site was getting hundreds and hundreds of Google searches sent to the site for the likes of Eli Mattson and Donald Braswell. Therefore, it made sense why Eli Mattson got more votes than the rest. However, I still thought that Eli had a good chance of winning. I guess it was close.

Instead, Neal Boyd is the winner of America’s Got Talent. I’m actually really surprised how disappointed I am with the result. I didn’t think I was that fond of Eli Mattson, but I was. Nothing against Neal Boyd, but I honestly don’t see myself buying a ticket to see him sing. Eli Mattson I would love to see in concert. America’s Got Talent is really smart to have the top 5 from this season perform in Las Vegas. The interesting question is whether people will go to the show more for Neal or for the other members of the top 5.

I’m kind of afraid to admit this, but before the results I told my wife that I thought we should get tickets to the show and go. However, now that Neal Boyd won, I’m thinking we probably won’t spend the money. I’d enjoy seeing him as an opening act, but I don’t see myself coughing up much money to see him be the headliner.

Time will tell if I change my mind in that regard. I don’t mean to take anything away from Neal. He has a great story, a very nice voice and something about his stage presence that really draws you in. He cries too much, but he’s a big teddy bear. Kind of reminds me of the big teddy bear that won American Idol (just forgot his name). I’m really happy for Neal and I think he can do well with a singing career.

Best of luck Neal Boyd and Congratulations on Winning America’s Got Talent!

America’s Got Talent announced that there would be special guest performers at the America’s Got Talent Las Vegas show. The question is who might those guest performers be. Here’s my projections:

Terry Fator - Just makes since. He’s right down the street. Only question is whether he’s allowed to under his contract with mirage
Bianca Ryan - She’s performing in Las Vegas already too. She’s be a crowd favorite to see again and could nearly walk over from the V theater.

I’d really enjoy seeing any of the trio Cas Haley, Julienne Irwin or Butterscotch. They’re all still performing too.

I’d also not be surprised at all if an act like the Quick Change artists or the dog routine (can’t remember his name, but he has a show in Vegas now too) as a nice little opening act or an act to give the winner of America’s Got Talent a break.

Outside of people from America’s Got Talent, how cool would it be if Elton John stopped by if Eli Mattson was the winner? What about Andrea Bocelli with Neal Boyd, Gladys Knight (who’s from Las Vegas too) with Queen Emily or Josh Groban with Donald Braswell. Any of an array of rappers could join Nuttin’ But Stringz and be quite the event.

Any other acts you’d like to see?

The previous America’s Got Talent poll was so successful I thought it might be worthwhile to post a fresh poll after the AGT top 5 did their final performance. I’ve also made a few minor changes that should help to get a more representative vote. Let’s hear who will be the America’s Got Talent winner.

UPDATE: Neal Boyd wins America’s Got Talent, but it was announced that Terry Fator and all of the AGT Top 5 will be performing at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with Neal.

Tonight Jerry Springer announced that the winner of America’s Got Talent season 4 will be headlining in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Being from Las Vegas, that’s a great venue and a very large venue at that. Here’s a link where you can purchase America’s Got Talent Season 3 Winner show tickets.

America’s Got Talent promises to have some surprise guest appearances. Wonder who that could be. Here’s the rest of the details for the show:
