Unemployed Kentucky Chicken Grabbing Guitar playing singer, Kevin Skinner, won America's Got Talent.Usually I am wrong about these things, but I thought he and Barbara Padilla were the two I thought most likely to win. Barbara Padilla came in second. I think I also thought Grandma Lee had a chance. But she did not make the Top Five.
I am grateful for the invention of DVRs, or I would not have been able to make it through the badly bloated 2 hour show.
The American Idol finale is a much more slick production. Simon Cowell has his hand in both. I don't know why this America's Got Talent show has a cheapy feel to it. Despite the million dollar prize. American Idol doesn't have a million dollar prize.
There were several famous performers. I only made it through two, those being Shakira and Susan Boyle. I like Shakira, but what she was doing on the America's Got Talent stage seemed to border on pornography to me. I was appalled.
The intro for Susan Boyle was well done. She was the last act right before Kevin Skinner was announced the winner. I had trouble understanding Susan's version of English, but I caught a lot of it, as she explained her post Britain's Got Talent breakdown. Susan Boyle sang Wild Horses. I rather liked it. I think her American debut went well.
My total dislike of David Hasselhoff was reinforced, greatly, watching the America's Got Talent finale.
