tv movies : IS AMERICA'S GOT TALENT STAGED? [+] serious ballot by LCD ACTIVE Tue Jun 17, 08 - Wed Jun 17, 09 Last year, Britain's got talent made Paul Potts famous, with his rendition of Nessun dorma. then we heard that he was not really a cell phone salesman, but a professional singer, acting like one. they are trying to repeat this in US now. not only this big fat faker sing the same damn song, he also is a plant, telling the audience he is an insurance salesman, but the truth is already out there. ------- “What do you do for a living?” asks Sharon Osbourne from the judges’ table. “I sell insurance,” the boyish 32-year-old Boyd replies. “What would it mean to you, Neal, to win ‘America’s Got Talent’?” asks judge Piers Morgan, the show’s British-accented Simon Cowell equivalent. “It would mean everything,” Boyd says. Then we see Boyd nailing the big finish of Puccini’s “Nessun dorma,” a Pavarotti specialty — and pandemonium erupts. “Fantastic!” Morgan says after the crowd calms down. “You are a very special talent.” Sure enough, Boyd’s eyes are glistening with salty wetness. Then the clip jumps forward and David Hasselhoff weighs in: “Your dreams are coming true right now!” the Hoff proclaims, at which point the former lineman for Sikeston High School’s football team delivers a cross-body air-punch as if his team had just scored. The $1 million prize for “Talent” would certainly be the most Boyd has earned for singing, but it wouldn’t be the first big vocal win for the tenor (who in a 2001 profile told The Star that his childhood dream had always been to become a famous singer). As a student at Southeast Missouri State University and the University of Missouri-Columbia he won the Music Teachers National Association Collegiate Artist Voice Competition in 2000. He earned a professional-level artists degree from Boston’s New England Conservatory and sang a recital at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. Back in Missouri, he became active in politics but kept singing — performing, for example, the role of York in the 2003 world premiere of “Corps of Discovery,” Michael Ching’s Lewis and Clark opera, in Columbia. He has become a favorite singer for Missouri political events, at one of which he was dubbed “The Voice of Missouri.” He sang for Mel Carnahan’s funeral and Gov. Matt Blunt’s inauguration. so says kansascity newspaper. they should rename the show, Americans Are Bunch of Gullible Idiots!
