The 5th year of “America’s Got Talent” has just came to the conclusion. . There were three singers, Michael Grimm, Jackie Evancho, and Prince Poppycock. There was also an incredible dance group, Fighting Gravity. The finale was awesome, and had some good invitee performances. Donna Summer and Jewel had duets with contestants, and an appearance from Lionel Ritchie made the last episode as solid as a brick house. Evancho was very easily the favorite. A girl of only ten, with a powerful operatic voice belying her years and bringing comparisons to Susan Boyle. Michael Grimm stole the win, and few expected him to get the winning votes.
Grand spectacle on last episode
The finale for “America’s Got Talent” season five was a great thing to see. It almost always is. Two days before the finale was the final round of competition. Michael Grimm would be at home in any of this type of programs. The singer/songwriter type with a blues tinge is always a hot commodity if the person in question is good. Prince Poppycock sings a mélange of Lady Gaga, Kiss, and Paul Revere and the Raiders in an operatic fashion, with elaborate staging and costumes. Finally, there was Jackie Evancho, the pint size vocalist with a Godzilla size voice. There was only one act that was not a vocalist. Fighting Gravity is a dance troupe made up of college students.
Voting uses a Grimm sound
The results get revealed on a retrospective and special performance episode, just like “American Idol.”. Prince Poppycock got buzzed by Piers Morgan, according to CBS, during his performance. To be fair, it was just a little one-dimensional. Evancho had the belief that she is only 10 years old on her side. That said, after so many ballads, people get bored. That is probably why Michael Grimm won “America’s Got Talent.” Singers win this show, as only one of the five winners has not been a singer. As outlined by People, Grimm already has plans. He will buy a house for his grandparents.
Show nearly taken by guests
The ending also had some amazing guest spots. Lionel Ritchie and Donna Summer dropped in, and also the roof with a cover of “Me and Bobby McGee.” This season wrapped up well.
