Queen Emily Performing in Las Vegas as Part of Menopause the Musical

I’ve been meaning to post this for a long time. I’ve seen a billboard saying that Menopause the Musical in Las Vegas is starring Queen Emily from America’s Got Talent. It’s really nice to see her doing what she loves, sing!

My wife has wanted to go to Menopause the Musical for a while. So, I might just have to go and check her out. I’ll report back here if we do. If someone from the show wants to offer us some free tickets to see Queen Emily, that would be cool too.

In case you don’t know who Queen Emily is or don’t remember her, here’s a video of Queen Emily from last year’s AGT:

The America’s Got Talent 2009 Lull Before the Storm

Man does time fly when you take a week off to spoil your wife.

Well, you’ve probably noticed by my lack of posting that there hasn’t been as much action in regards to America’s Got Talent lately. No worries. This usually happens before a new season of the show. The show tries to lock down the information as much as possible. For some reason they don’t like information to be leaked out and ruin the suspense of the show.

All of that said, I’m still here and will be posting more regularly as we get closer to the premiere of America’s Got Talent Season 4. You can count on that one. Lately I’ve just been spending more of my time on Dancing with the Stars since the show is currently in season.

One side note is that when I was going to work the other day, I noticed a sign for the show Menopause playing in Las Vegas. In the corner of the billboard it said that Queen Emily from America’s Got Talent would be performing at the show. It almost sounded like Queen Emily was part of the show. I’m not sure exactly. I tried to contact the PR person for Menopause so I could learn more, but I’ve gotten no response. I think I might not get a response since I heard that Menopause is shutting down in Las Vegas. Probably due to the rough economy.

Anyway, there’s my short update. Watch for more regular updates as I get more information. Also, some flashbacks to some of the best and worst America’s Got Talent performances.

Guessing the Surprise Guest Appearances in Las Vegas

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?

My Projected America’s Got Talent Winner

I’ve been following the show quite religiously since I have this America’s Got Talent Blog and I am thoroughly entertained by the show. So, you can imagine I have strong opinions on who I think will be the winners of America’s Got Talent. Without further ado, here’s my America’s Got Talent winner projection along with my rankings of the America’s Got Talent Top 5.

Eli Mattson
Nuttin’ But Stringz
Donald Braswell II
Neal E. Boyd
Queen Emily

At the end of the day, none of these performers should feel bad since they are all great. However, this is a popularity contest and I personally think that Eli Mattson is the most popular.

Let’s see your rankings of the America’s Got Talent top 5.

Queen Emily Review – America’s Got Talent Top 5

My dear Queen Emily! The first couple performances by Queen Emily she really seemed to knock it out of the park. She absolutely has the instrument to be a great singer, but these past couple performances it was a little too “screamy” to me. It felt at many times in the song that she was trying to sing.

Honestly, I hope that someone like Gladys Knight or Aretha Franklin is watching the show and is willing to take someone like Queen Emily under their arm and help her to become a star. Gladys lives down the street from me and is very busy, so here’s hoping that Aretha will help her out. If that doesn’t work out, then we can always hope that they finally do an America’s Got Talent tour.

Either way, Queen Emily has made a great run and entertained me thoroughly. I can just see her name on the Flamingo in Las Vegas performing every night. She just needs a bit more refinement to be able to do a whole show.

America’s Got Talent Top 5 Prediction

Much liked we posted the Pure America’s Got Talent Top 10 prediction, here’s the Pure America’s Got Talent Top 5 prediction. The following prediction comes from 2621 votes recorded on our America’s Got Talent Top 10 poll.

Predicted America’s Got Talent Top 5:
Donald Braswell received 1215 votes
Eli Mattson received 547 votes
Nuttin’ But Stringz received 237 votes
Neal Boyd received 177 votes
Kaitlyn Maher received 162 votes

America’s Got Talent Top 10 not making the AGT Top 5:
Jessica Price received 106 votes
Queen Emily received 84 votes
Joseph Hall received 45 votes
The Wright Kids received 29 votes
Paul Salos received 19 votes

In full disclosure, this is not a scientific poll by any means. This is definitely swayed by the type of traffic that is sent to Pure America’s Got Talent. For example, someone who finds this site searching for Nuttin’ But Stringz is probably more likely to vote for them. However, you could also argue that the more people searching google for Eli Mattson the more likely he is to win America’s Got Talent since after all America’s Got Talent is in large part a popularity contest.

Also, I should note that the comments on this blog have been smothered by fans of Donald Braswell. I think you can see that reflected in the voting results above. All of that said, I think Donald Braswell should make it into the Top 5 even if this poll is a little swayed.

I should also comment on a very personal note that it’s very sad for me to post that Jessica Price is predicted to be in the bottom 5. I’m normally very happy when my website predicts the results of a reality TV show. This might be one of the first times I hope that the predictions above are wrong.
