albadgerSad, sad, sad. Not because the act I wanted to win didn't win.
Sad because I had an act I wanted to win.
But I blame that on my unusual surroundings
Actually, not only was my favorite act not the winner, the announced order was the complete opposite of what I would put. They kicked off the two unique, interesting acts, leaving a little girl with an amazing voice, who should completely retire from performance and work on technique until her lungs grow in, but won't and will almost certainly ruin the voice, and a white soul singer specializing in early 70s ballads, of the type you've heard in nightclubs, the type I've heard in nightclubs. I've heard better in nightclubs. Dull, actually.
And the dull guy won, while the "judges" effused over how great and special and unique he was. Granted, he had a good hard-luck story. I think his grandparents' double-wide was washed away in a flood, I'm not sure. Something about mountaintop-removal mining. I wasn't paying that much attention. I have a cryptic crossword I'm working on.

Date: 2010-09-17 12:33 am (UTC)Aft = behind "in the main", i.e. at sea; Aft-er is farther behind;
Though = Yet; T = time. After-though-t.
See how easy that was?
