Lawrence Beamen

Lawrence Beaman makes his first appearance on America’s Got Talent 2009 singing Ol’ Man River from the musical Showboat. Lawrence has a bass solo voice which we do not hear too often. The quality of his voice and his passionate perfomance are amazing. Lawrence is a true talent.

“Ol’ Man River” is a song from the 1927 musical Show Boat written by Jerome Kerns and Oscar Hammerstein II, that contrasts African American hardship and struggles of the time with the endless, uncaring flow of the Mississippi River, from the view of a dock worker on a showboat.

It is the most famous song from the show. It is sung complete, once, by the dock worker “Joe” who travels with the boat, and is re-sung three times more in brief reprises.

Lawrence Beamen (Beaman) could very easily win the entire competition.  He is by far the best singer in the competiton. He has the professionalism, charisma and the talent to carry a complete Las Vegas show.

Kevin Skinner

Is Kevin Skinner Americas Got Talent’s equivalent to Britains Got Talent’s Susan Boyle?

Kevin was the last audition when he walked out on stage, dressed plainly with jeans, and a baseball cap worn backwards. At first glance you think this is going to be a disaster and then he started to sing.

Can Kevin Skinner win America’s Got Talent this year?

So far if he continues with emotional perfomances like this, he will have a decent shot. I have not seen all the talent yet to come, but I’m sold on Kevin Skinner. This is one of the most emotional and heartfelt performances I’ve ever heard.

See if you agree.

Voices of Glory, Americas Got Talent sensational new act, sang an inspirational version of “God Bless America” acapella reducing Sharon Osborne and many of the audience to tears.

Americas Got Talent is America’s version of Simon Cowell’s popular Britains Got Talent. Last night we may have just witnessed one of the acts, Voices of Glory, that could be heading to the finals. The act is comprised of two brothers ages 16 and 13 and one sister age 9. When asked who their inspiration was they told the story about their mother who was in a head on collision with a drunk driver which rendered their mom in a coma. They sang to their mother and others in the hospital and today the mother is alive and well as witnessed on stage.
