I don't agree with the winner

My opinion follows. . . . sorry if it comes out as ranting.

Okay, so the final of America's Got Talent just aired and I DO NOT agree with the winner. Neal Boyd is the one who won. Sorry if that just spoiled it for you. I'm not happy . . . as you can possibly tell. Nothin' But Stringz should have been the winners, either them or Eli. While Neal can sing opera, his delivery and diction isn't that strong. He can't sustain notes in upper registers. I also think that he can't carry a full Vegas show. Eli or Stringz can carry a show because they have a bunch of different styles and can captivate and draw in an audience. Neal is almost a small public audience . . . meaning not too many people can stand an hour or more of opera. I know that he tried another genre, but his voice is just operatic.

Eli is just so original. I've never heard a voice like his and his emotion while singing is just so passionate that you can't help but be drawn in. I hope he gets a recording contract because I really want his CD.

Nothin' But Stringz is amazing! They are unique. I don't believe anyone has seen anything like what they do. Isn't the show supposed to find America's newest talent? They should be it. It is great for those who play the violin (like I used to) that they aren't just stuck with classical or fiddle music. They could expand their knowledge. Those boys are passionate and I hope they get something out of this because they really deserve it. Maybe a recording contract because I would love a CD.

Ohh, I have a good idea: how about a show with Eli and Nothin' But Stringz? They could really bring in a diverse and fun crowd. They are both crowd pleasers and they perform their talent with such passion that you can't help but smile, and be drawn in.

But Eli and Stringz, you guys are winners in my opinion. Don't give up.

(of course I was rooting for Extreme Dance FX because I know some of those people and I used to compete against them, plus they are helping getting clogging out there, in the spotlight and showing that we aren't a bunch of backwater dancers)
