    AGT, anyone????

    Maybe I'm a sap. Maybe having a child changes everything. Watching Americas Got Talent tonight..(I know, I like it). There was a man, who was serving our country, trying to protect his until, got nailed with an RPG. Had a major brain injury, wondered if he would ever walk his daughter down the isle. His therapist recommended singing in the shower for therapy. OMG, this man and his story is amazing. Brought me to tears. Sorry if I am a sap. Thank you to all of our military and their family. You are so strong, and the sacrafices you make. I could never do it. And this guy was amazing. What an incredible story.

    I saw the emo/goth kid as well and was super shocked with his performance and I cried again.

    Heck, the way they set the story for that guy, he didn't need to sing a note. I would have voted him through if he sang like Porky Pig. Amazing story and a real hero.

    According to my local morning news, he served for about 5 years less than he claimed on the show, he was only in Afghanistan for a short time, and the military has no record of his brain-injury causing RPG hit. Basically his whole story was made up. Still like him?

    In fact, here's a link: http://www.stripes.com/news/us/milit...uries-1.179668

    Wow, what a jerk. Playing on people's emotions like that ?

    Shame on him for belittling the ones who really do make sacrifices.

    Wow, you would have thought the producers would have checked out his story before spending so much of the show on him. Thanks for the link.

    Well aren't you just a Debbie downer..just kidding. That's interesting. Too bad. I just don't understand why people have to make stuff up and tell stories.

    Doesn't surprise me one bit. This is GREAT for ratings. Any kind of attention to draw in more mindless drones to watch this crap. All those shows are fabricated.

    I understand why. He got his 15 minutes of fame.

    I'm cheap too. Exploit me for money, please! If you pay me I'll cut my hair, change my name and go up on a stage and sing Justin Bieber songs. That is what really matters in this world. Money. Mula. The almighty dollar.
