Talent contests are extremely popular on American television. The fifth “America’s Got Talent” year has just wrapped up. The final four was a really tight group. This season seemed almost extremely hard to predict a clear winner. The contest came down to Michael Grimm, Prince Poppycock, Jackie Evancho and dance troupe Fighting Gravity. The ending was amazing, and had some good invitee performances. Donna Summer and Jewel had duets with contestants, and an appearance from Lionel Ritchie made the last episode as solid as a brick house. Many people favored Evancho to win, as the 10 year old with titanic pipes was often compared with Susan Boyle. The victor, nevertheless, proved to be the underdog Michael Grimm.
Final episode really worth a look
The finale for “America’s Got Talent” season five was a great thing to see. It almost always is. The final competitive stage, though, took place two days before it. That is when the contestants put on the last performance for points for the season. Michael Grimm is kind of the singer/songwriter type, with a very bluesy tinge. Prince Poppycock was something a little different. An opera vocalist at heart, however he uses elaborate costumes and stages in an act that manages to fuse Kiss, Lady Gaga, and Paul Revere and the Raiders. Then there was Jackie Evancho. Evancho has been a sensation all year, as the tiny ten year old has a titanic voice. There was only one act that was not a performer. Fighting Gravity is a dance troupe made up of college students.
Ballots uses a Grimm sound
The show gets voted on just like “American Idol,” and just like that show, viewers have to wait for the results. Prince Poppycock got buzzed on, as outlined by Columbia Broadcasting System, by Piers Morgan. To be fair, it was just a little one-dimensional. Evancho is impressive because of her talent, however even a 10-year old singing opera ballads gets a bit old after awhile. Variety is the spice of life, and Michael Grimm reaped the benefits of that in his winning “America’s Got Talent.” It was kind of a singer’s year. Grimm, as outlined by People, plans to purchase his grandparents a house.
Legendary duets
Just about everybody paired with a great entertainer for the final episode performance. Lionel Ritchie and Donna Summer dropped in, and also the roof with a cover of “Me and Bobby McGee.” It was a good season. The ending was awesome too.
