First up was Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. singing Frank Sinatra's "My Way" which recieved a standing O from the judges. Piers said it was, "a moment, and a million dollar performance". Sharon agreed saying it gave her "goosebumps", and Howie said he may have just "sealed the deal." Honestly, I think he could have started the song better, but apparently he saved the last note for the end. Bottom line is he sang from the heart relating to the song in the sense of how he went from being homeless at 19, to meeting his wife and starting a family. God is so GOOD, amen?
Next up, Team iLuminate. What's there to say about these acrobatic dancers that put on Black-Eyed Peas-like performances with their illuminating costumes and great moves. The judges agreed they were great and original. I wasn't following AGT much towards the end of this season, but I felt they've given better performances in the past. Let's see what America thinks.
Poplyfe took the stage with a Queen medley of "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions." The lead singer is a 15 year old girl with a big voice. She did alright, not exactly a Freddie Mercury performance, but ok. Piers said her voice was "shaky, but talented." Sharon agreed that the singing was a little off, but that she has "star quality." In my opinion it takes a lot of guts to perform onstage in front of millions of people, so at such a young age, I definitely give them credit. They're so cute, but I don't think they outsang Landau.
Last up were the diverse group, Silhouettes. Dancing to "What A Wonderful World", transforming themselves into images relating to the song was A-MAZING to watch! The audience was on their feet! Piers commented that they "saved the best for last, terrific!" Sharon felt like it was "inspirational and beautiful" and Howie considered them "the toughest choice ever." A-greed!
So who's going to be crowned the winner of AGT 2011?..............Landau!!! I felt like anyone but Poplyfe and Team iLuminate could have won. America made the right choice! Thankful for the win, Landau said that now he can build a house for his family and live life like it should be lived. Alleluiaaaa!
That's all guys. DWTS premieres tonight! Stay tuned for my recaps! Ciao 4 now.
