America’s Got Talent 2010: Gateway Men’s Chorus of St Louis

The Gateway Men’s Chorus is an all male chorus that promotes the GLBT community of St Louis. Wearing all khaki (so if you happen to be shopping in the Chicago area and was wondering why they were short on khakis in late April you know who to blame) and various colored shirts they came onstage to serenade us with the Trolley Song from Meet Me in St Louis .

Quick Side Note: This group did a practice run of their song as the audience were taking their seats and were given a round of applause.

What caught my attention about this group was that one person wasn’t necessarily singing, he was signing the song to the audience… Now that’s catering to your public. =)

Complete with some basic dance moves and harmonies Piers believed the group was too campy for the show. Howie thought that they were missing something and couldn’t quite place his finger on it. Sharon liked the music and the group but could see how others might not have enjoyed it.

Howie interjected that he realized what was missing, WOMEN! They needed lesbians in the group to make it complete for Howie.

Though there were mixed reactions from the judges, the audience seemed to enjoy it, but would it be enough to send them on to Vegas?

To learn more about the group to to their website, follow the blogs of the group or that of their artistic director Dr Jeffrey Carter, or follow them on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. You could even see some of the other songs that they’ve done via their YouTube channel.
