So, this summer Jared and I got all excited about the show, America’s Got Talent. For some reason, we think it’s pretty awesome. We got hooked last year when we saw Terry Fator the singer\/ventriloquist (if you have NOT seen Terry Fator, you are really missing out! Last year, we went to Utah’s State Fair where he performed for a hour and a half and it was absolutely AWESOME.) But I digress.<\/p>\n
So Jared and I were hopeful that this year would be as promising as last year, and all in all, it has been. There’s always a few choices that the judges make that make me go “HOW DID YOU GET THE POSITION OF JUDGE?! COME ON!” but there was a surprising lack of that. And so then it got to the point where America votes. And they did a pretty good job… up til tonight.<\/p>\n
The options were Queen Emily (awesome Diva singer), Eli Mattson (talented singer\/piano player), Neal E. Boyd the crybaby, Donald Braswell the musical theatre guy, and Nuttin But Stringz, the amazing R&B violin playing brother duo. Straight out, I wanted Nuttin But Stringz to win. They were so creative, and so talented, and I absolutely loved the music they played. I was absolutely shocked by the results… Queen Emily left first, followed by Donald, then Nuttin But Stringz. I thought “Well, Eli’s got to have this in the bag!” But no. When they announced that Neal won first place, I thought I might just die.<\/p>\n
My faith in the American Public has been officially broken. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?! Seriously- he can’t even go 10 seconds without crying. I didn’t let Jared watch Neal’s finale song… let’s face it, he would be crying to hard to be any good anyway. I have nothing against opera; he has a pretty decent voice, but America made a big mistake tonight. Maybe there was a fluke with the voting system… or something.<\/p>\n
I know I’m not the only one feeling this way. Right afterwards, Jared found this blog link, which made me feel a little better:

Okay. Well, I think I can go back to grading again… now that I’m calmed down a bit. \ud83d\ude42 Thanks for listening to my rant about stupid shows and the crazy people who vote for them. lol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
