I know I'm a few days late posting my thoughts. I guess it didn't feel urgent. Well, here goes because I know you were dying to hear what I thought. <g>
4th Place: Prince Poppycock
Well, this did surprise me a bit. I expected Poppycock would rank a little higher. But I agreed with Piers. Poppycock went too serious in the finals. However, I still believe this guy has a good voice and could have a show in Vegas that would please a lot of fans. Would I pay to see him? No, probably not. But then I'm not a Vegas-act-kind-of=girl either.
3rd Place: Fighting Gravity
Now this did surprise me. A lot. I gave these guys lots of votes, and I was sure they would either win or come in second. But not to worry. These guys are headed for big shows. Audiences are going to appreciate their creativity. I would pay to see their act. I might even take a Vegas vacation to go see these guys.
2nd Place: Jackie Evancho
I'll confess, I'm not sorry Jackie didn't win. I would hate to see this child with an angelic voice living and working in Vegas. She is destined for better than that life, I'm sure.
And the Winner is: Michael Grimm
Some folks seem to think that Michael won because his grandparents lost everything to Katrina and a sympathy vote carried him through. I don't think so. This guy's voice just made my heart melt. I love the way he sounds, and I love the way he looks in his hat. Michael got some of my votes, and I'll vote for him again when he comes out with an album.

And if I wasn't already a fan of Michael Grimm, this would have made me one. Awwwww. How adorable is this?
