Story over Talent?
Sigh. America, America, America – sometimes I wonder about you. Half the time as Reality Voters, you get it right. But then there’s the other half, and I wonder… what the HELL? You know what I’m talking about, yes? We waited through almost two full hours of filler on America’s Got Talent last night – including a performance by the best of the worst, and watched Shakira dry hump a speaker box, and other atrocities… all to find out the winner in the last 2 minutes of the show.
It wasn’t Recycled Percussion.
It wasn’t even Voices of Glory – which would have been predictable and also wrong. It wasn’t the Fab Five – who are fabulous indeed. And it wasn’t Barbara Padilla, who’s Ava Maria makes me love opera…
No. It was the unemployed chicken catcher, who hasn’t turned in a decent performance since his audition – Kevin Skinner.

KEVIN SKINNER?! People are you NUTS? When there were WET ROCKER BOYZ PLAYING DRUMS? And against second place Barbara Padilla?
All on THIS performance?
We all know it was his audition that won the hearts of America, and we wish Kevin the best – but.. SRSLY?! Come AWN. Sigh.
Oh well – On to bigger and better things… SYTYCD and SURVIVOR! 🙂

America has never gotten it right on this show except for the season they chose Terry Fator. You could not give me a ticket to go see Kevin Skinner in Vegas much less buy one. I dont’t know why I watch that show. Even at my age, I thought Recycled Percussion was fascinating and I loved the Texas Tenors too; Two very different acts
