Angry USA didn't vote enough for Jackie Evancho

Once again the Ignorance and Stupidity of the American people didn't vote enough for the lovely and AMAZING Jackie Avancho

For anyone that watched America's got talent know's what I'm talking about, this 10 year old girl has the voice of an Angel and they voted for a regular guy that probably wouldn't have won American Idol. I was surprised when he beat out Defying Gravity but when they called his name over Jackie's I was shocked!!! WHAT THE HELL IS USA THINKING??


And don't bust my ***** about me watching the show its alot better than some of the crap thats on TV now Ex. Dating in the dark, bachelor pad and whatever other reality show is on.

I agree with you 100% Roy, I thought it was a no brainer that young Jackie's voice would take her all the way.
and yes, Karen and I watch that show too.

he question is would you pay money to watch her sing in a show. No doubt she has talent, but is such a niche that she is in only a handful would pay to see her sing

Actually Godzilla you kind of have a point there, opera isn't for everyone and I'm not a big fan so going to see her for an hour would be unlikely for me on that note going to see Mike Grim for an hour would be highly unlikely for me mainly because there are so much better shows in Vegas to see. I think Defying Gravity should have been the winners, they would have been perfect for a Las Vegas act and I'd go see them any day I guarantee they will be a Vegas act watch out for them.

Many pay big money to see opera, but they also are very unlikely to watch AGT and vote for her.
IMO she got an "ain't she cute" vote from the viewers of the show & not for her talent.


...for the guy that won;
He should consider this like a lottery win, he'll never cut it long term.

I don't watch Bachelor Pad. At least not since Mia left.

I only caught this round of AGT once, and saw Grim and saw DG along with some kite-flying guy and some wacky electricity show which I thought was pretty cool -- thoroughly unimpressed with both DG and Grim, though. Missed Jackie altogether, apparently, more's the pity.

Edit: just watched the video. Stunning.

Jackie is truly an amazing singer (for any age) and there is no doubt in my mind that her career will eventually skyrocket.

I wont say weather or not the voters 'got it right' but:
A) I would pay to see a very good singer like Grim perform on stage for an hour. I don't see him selling out shows in Vegas, for reasons such as, I don't know what his own material (presumably he has some) is like and if I would like it. I'm not one to sit and listen to someone sing someone else's songs all night, with the exception of Karaoke. lol

B) I am sort of glad she didn't win from the perspective that I don't believe a 10 year old should be subjected to the Vegas Strip life style. I think her career will be better off because she didn't win. She will be able to perform with others from her own genre (like Sarah Brightman last night) in places much better suited to the audience who will come out to appreciate her as a performer and not just a spectacle.

I also think Fighting Gravity is the only act, from the finals, that could have a successful Vegas show.

Edit: I knew that...Roy brainwashed me when he called them DEFYING Gravity, I need a coffee, lol

I agree with some of the others and also believe that for a Las Vegas Act I think Fighting Gravity would be the winner there.
Those guys were awesome

^^ not the gravity act I was thinking of; in the show I saw, they did some sort of wall-climbing dancy thing that bored my **** off.

And what, NO votes for Prince Poppycock?? Oh man, that guy(?) made my skin crawl...

I think I was installing my painted battery/brake covers and getting ready to head out for a meet. The original pic is nice and sharp, I guess when Driver shrunk it, it lost a lot of clarity. This one may be better:



While I'm whoring pics, I also like this one from the same day...



Aforementioned painted covers, along with a couple of other goodies...


(hey, you guys left the door open... )

HAHAH Topic change!!!

Just my two loonies...
1. Fighting Grav REALLY should have won.
2. While I like Grimm's voice...he has 5 albums out ALREADY...isn't this "undiscovered talent?" wtf

(bonus loon)
Jackie is going to have a singing career no matter how the states voted, so I don't feel bad for her and yes she has a SILLY amount of talent @ 10!!
