Seriously?????????

[Renrut]

A chicken catcher??????????? Wonder really who the he** voted for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Licchl05]

huh? did i blink and miss something? who's a chicken catcher?

[catdance]

I don't believe this show, firstly in Vegas, I wouldn't go see an Opera Singer or a "chicken singer" singing cover songs....I think the worthy one was that Percussion group, now that I would probably plunk down some cash to see..At first I thought it was a joke whne the Barry White guy didn't get in and before him the contortionist..I don't get it...who voted?

[Renrut]

I wanted them too. Even the opera lady would have been better than him. Geesh!!!

[tammy77]

I guess Im the only one who wanted the "chicken catcher" to win.In the beginning he was on my top 10 list.

[Airbuswife]

so what if he's a "chicken catcher" he has a damn good voice!!

[cpbaby]

A chicken catcher is actually a fairly decent paying job. You go into the huge chicken houses and catch chickens to put in cages for transport to the chicken factories.

He hasnt done it in awhile, but what does how he made his living have to do with how well he can sing?


And, as for who voted for him, probably every single person in the town where he lives and his family and most of this part of KY, to be honest.

[Renrut]

Okay, i wasn't talking about what he did for a living. That is just what we called him. I wouldnt have cared if he was a garbage man actually.

so what if he's a "chicken catcher" he has a damn good voice!!

Not really, he mimics ok but is often out of tune. I would have rather seen recycled percussion or even grandma lee win.

[justme23]

Yeah... I got to agree... I thought he deserved the shot to be there in the beginning but his following performances were very poor. I'm really very disappointed.

[Airbuswife]

Not really, he mimics ok but is often out of tune.

yes, you are right. but... as sharon and the others said, many people in the industry dont have perfect voices, its his heart and soul that go into his singing that make him special.

i was also hoping for grandma lee or recycled percussion to win ;)

ETA: just because they didnt win doesnt mean we wont hear from them again. MOST of the final 10 were so talented i'm sure they will get contracts and offers :)

[kygirl71]

I'm one of those people that voted for him. He has a natural talent and we "Kentuckians" are very proud of him.

[DBackFan]

I wanted Recycled Percussion to win also.

[lisarae]

I did NOT want him to win. For one he cant sing! Yes, he has that 'uniqueness' about him, but I cant say that its talent. Is a man with a passion for singing and he puts his feelings into his songs, but its not talent. I think alot of people felt sorry for him, he pulled at alot of heart strings, or just wanted him to win because of his background. I loved the opera singer, she was talented. Recycled percussion was very talented. Kevin Skinner, not so much.

[whatever]

His audition was very good and his FIRST performance. But after that it went way downhill. I really want R.P to win OR the young singer who was the second chance. He got BETTER EVERY time he performed and thats a true artist IMO.
those are people I would Pay to see for an hour and thats what I base my voting on (i didn't vote this year because who I vote for never wins).
The Opera singer was good, but she is in a limited audience group of interest IMO. I don't think Opera would be a huge following in Vegas...
these are just my op........

[dangerousfem]

I think either the percussion team or Drew Stevens should have one...

country boy seemed nice.. but even though he had a nice voice.. he didn't have a wow voice... or stage presence.. and no way should he have taken the win

[Shann]

So I don't watch this show or really know much about the contestants but they mentioned it on the news and had a clip of him singing.. I thought he was out of tune? I wouldn't pay nor would I be paid to go to his concert. The clip of the lady sounded much better. JMHO

[Kelsey1224]

I wanted the Texas Tenors to win. I would have paid to see them!

[SLance68]

I wanted the Texas Tenors to win. I would have paid to see them!

At least they could sing on key and looked more presentable than the chicken catcher.
