"KODI, KODI, KODI!" That's what the audience chanted when the obvious choice for the America's Got Talent season 14 winner, Kodi Lee won the million dollar prize last Wednesday.
Now, if you missed AGT, or don't know who Kodi is, you should check him out. He's amazing! He won all of our heats, as well as America.
Kodi's a pianist, and a singer. He has autism, and is blind, but that doesn't stop him. He completely transforms as soon as he begins to sing. Ever since we saw his first audition, there was no doubt in our minds. We already knew he was the winner.
Everyone knew Kodi was going to win, but we were shocked at the runner-ups, a youth choir. They were good, but there were other better acts. But, America chose them, so yeah. It's done, and we can't change it.
Of course, the other contestants were good too. There was 12-year-old Luke Islam who sang Broadway songs. There was a 10- year-old opera singer. Comedy acts, one who was born with deformed arms. Tyler Butler-Figueroa who was a crazy 11-year-old violinist, dog acts, the kid version of Light Balance, and so much more.
There were new judges, replacing Heidi, and Mel B, and Terry Crews, the host from the spinoff. Terry Crews was a great host, and the other newbies showed that they had great tastes. One of them, Gabrielle, hit the golden buzzer for Kodi. So yeah, has a great taste of talent. The other new judge, Julianne, sang in the finale. I liked all of them better then the people they replaced (ja, even the German). It was also Howie's 10th year on AGT.
So, like the past seasons, a lot of good acts which is why it's always sad to have them eliminated. Luke got pretty far. He almost got to the finals, but got eliminated in the semis. We were sad at that. That kid has pipes, and had that Broadway feel to him when he sings. We were happy that Tyler made it though.
One of the acts, Sethward, auditioned again, and again. He was a giraffe the first time, and a walrus the next. He was horrible both times. He maybe was a little better as the walrus. He said he was better then last year, but for both of the acts, we didn't
see it. I give him this though, he has good dedication.
There was a couple more guest judges, one for the semis, and one for the quarter finals.
AGT: The Champions return for a second season in January, and of course, season 15 in the summer. And as always, we can't wait!
That was part one. Now for the second part of my blog. That's right. This blog is a two-parter.
So, if you've been on the Internet, chances are you know about the Storm Area 51 event that took place last Friday
That event was meant to be taken as a joke, but some people took it seriously, and went near the military base yesterday. Even Roger took it seriously if you can believe that. He went in one of his 'tourist' disguises.
Fortunately, I heard that most people that went didn't storm it, just went to the gate, A few people were arrested, even Roger. Were they ever mad! The fam had to bail him out, and had to lie to the police, and everybody that asked that he wasn't an alien in disguise, and that his skin was grey because of a rare skin disease that doesn't exist. They were lucky that they were stupid, and actually went along with it. They let him go with a warning.
Although he totally deserves to be exposed and dissected, I'm glad he wasn't. The secret that we kept for years from the public was almost exposed! Don't tell him this, but I'm kind of fond of that alien. He's kind of grown on me, he's family.
