America's Got Talent Winners
Last night was the big finale on America's Got Talent. Normally I don't watch a lot of TV, but for some reason I got sucked into this show in a big way. I started recording them on my DVR so I wouldn't miss anything.
As you saw in the video, this season's winner, claiming the one million dollars and a show in Vegas was Neal E. Boyd, an amazing opera singer that blew everyone away during the auditions in Chicago. Second place was Eli Mattson. Third place went to the hip hop inspired two man violin team Nuttin' But Stringz. Juilliard trained violinists, they were extremely entertaining. Fourth was singer Donald Braswell and bringing up the rear was Queen Emily in fifth. In my humble opinion, Queen Emily and Braswell's rankings should have been the other way around.
Everyone of the top 5 contestants were great. I was really disappointed however. I was on board for Eli Mattson ever since his first audition in the video below. Eli, if for some reason you stumble across The Big Bald Blog - you should have had it man. Regardless of the outcome, you got talent and your gonna make it big.
I think that this guy really had the most "talent".
Other than Eli Mattson, One of my other favorite acts that didn't make it to the finals was the ZooperStars. They were the "inflatable suit" guys and they were simply HILARIOUS. I understand that they would never have made it to the winners circle but they were extremely entertaining. One other act that I thought was worth mentioning was the 2nd Ozzy impersonator. Again not a contender for the top spot, but funny nonetheless. Check out Sharon's reaction to this guy.
Here's my order where I think they should have placed.
1. Eli Mattson
2. Neal E. Boyd
3. Nuttin' But Stringz
4. Queen Emily
5. Donald Braswell
Who do you think should have won? What act do you think should have made it to the top 10 or top 5 that didn't?

Ha I never got into that show but I know what you mean by having one show hook you for no apparent reason. Some talented people there.
P.S. glad you got rid of the captcha
Nuttin' But Stringz should have won. Of the top 5 they are the only group I would actually pay good money to see. I was very disappointed that the show turned out to be more about singing than talent this year.
I agree that they will all do well for themselves.
Nuttin'But Stringz most definitely should have won - Neal E. Boyd is a mediocre opera singer, or singer of any kind, at best. Queen Emily should have stuck with R&B - she killed with "Chain of Fools". I would love to hear Donald Braswell sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" and Eli Mattson is indeed a very good piano man - liked him a lot. But Neal E. Boyd? Oh, please - for those of us who are familiar with real opera singers - pah!
