America's Got Talent..........

A silky smooth vocal
aged with time
a lifetime wondering
if his stutter would define
in front of crowd
his voice would explore
another note sung
they all would adore
seventy four years
and still exuding charm
a desire to sing
no need for alarm
just one hurdle
to overcome
to step out on stage
no time to run
the greatest thrill
he ever had
an amazing voice
not at all bad
single and alone
but not down
a lifetime of wondering
suddenly found.........

I have been watching American Idol and America's Got Talent from the beginning. I got out my worst of seasons 1-4. I miss the bad singers. They used to spend most of the time with these bad singers, and then Simon left and now it's all about the good singers. The truly bad singer who thinks they are great is a wonderful thing.
