America's Got Talent Finals: Will Singer Jackie Evancho Win?
Jackie Evancho: Will she win "America's Got Talent?"
The “America’s Got Talent” finals just finished, and I think I can tell you who’s not going to win: Fighting Gravity. They had an underwhelming performance after so many fun and exciting ones when the light shined right through that door at the end. So that leaves us with: Jackie Evancho, the 10-year-old opera singer whose voice didn’t waver this week; Prince Poppycock, the eccentric songster who looked more like a princess last night; and singer Michael Grimm, who was really lovely but generic.
My money’s still on Jackie. She’s a once-in-a-generation talent, and no, I don’t buy the whole “she’s lip synching” thing. The judges went gaga (like crazy; not like meat dress) over her performance once again, and Jackie seems to have a lot of fan support despite all the backlash. I’m amazed at how poised she continues to be despite all the pressure.
As we saw last week with the 12-year-old dancers, one of whom fell (I just wanted to give the poor girl a hug – you could tell she felt awful), it’s very easy to make a mistake in a live performance, and especially for a kid! I’m trying to imagine my son out there, and I just can’t. Makes me too nervous. (And plus he’s 5, so his act would probably consist of burping or singing an adorable but off-tune version of “Bad Romance.”)
So who do you think will win? As of now, the NBC site is so bogged down I can’t get the video of tonight’s performances, but I’ll try to update later.
Jackie all the way ! Another SUPER star from Pittsburgh!
I love the child but she still has a huge future ahead of her and will always succeed. My hope is for Michael Grimm who has paid his dues….which she hasn’t as of yet.
Jackie Evancho is very talented but is everyone forgetting that she came to the competeion in the middle of the show and has not had to compete as many times as Micheal Grimm..boo to A.G.T for doing it that way..the you tube submissions should have been thrown into the mix from the beginning and had to fight their way like all the others..
God sent Jackie down from heaven. She’ll win and go on to do great things!
the right contestant won tonight! wtg! micheal Grimm!
