I generally don’t pay much attention to the television when I’m at work….but as with everything, there are exceptions to that, and last night was one of those exceptions.
It was a slow night in the lounge, so we started the evening with the last few innings of the Tiger baseball game. If you’re a Detroit Tiger fan, it was another teeth clencher…but they pulled it off at the last minute and there was much merriment. Yay!
At 8:00 p.m. we tuned into “America’s Got Talent.” We were all pulling for the same guy to win….Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. So we watched the show, at first thinking it was only an hour long. We all gave our opinions on the final four acts…had a nice discussion….waiting for the results…..it’s 9:00 p.m…..we’re closed…..watched for another 15 minutes and realized it was a 2 hour show. We debated about sticking around to see the end …..but everyone (including the customers) decided we could all make it home in time to see the end, so we left.
I was driving home as last season’s winner was singing…of course I hit every light….pulled up in the driveway…ran in the house….quickly closed the door behind me…ran to the living room, where I knew my son had the show on…..as I was bounding through the kitchen I was yelling “Have they announced the winner yet?!?” “NO, but they’re just about to!” Sat down, with about 20 seconds to spare…..and then they said “Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.!!!!!”
I threw my arm in the air and yelled “YES!!!” (Got caught up in the moment) And since it was the audience that chose him, I knew I was not alone in the moment. Gotta love it!

great post although some of the contestants should stop singing with a sore throat and take one of these vocalzone throat pastilles! I do love these talent shows though!
