Leonid the Magnificent Fails to Make the Final Cut on America's Got Talent





A year ago when I watched America's Got Talent, I must say I was surprised when I first saw Leonid the Magnificent. To be honest, his act didn't seem that polished when he first started the competition. Further, Leonid and I couldn't be greater polar opposites in many ways. But, after his performance, I saw something in Leonid that I admired, qualities that I admire perhaps most of all--courage, raw emotion, pride and dignity. It was a strange mix, but when I saw Leonid the Magnificent face the judges and literally demand that they recognize him for who he is, I admired him and respected him.
I also felt that America had come a long way in respecting individual differences and even though he did not win the competition, the fact that he progressed for a while in an America that seemed to embrace him, restored some of my faith in mankind.
Tonight, there was a failure, not Leonid's but that of the judges. I felt that many of the contestants that advanced had far-less star quality and I also had hoped that Leonid would be given a chance to show America that he was the winner of the competition. I felt that the judges should have forgotten about creating a balanced finale and given Leonid a chance to compete to the end, giving America the opportunity to vote to decide if he was perhaps the greatest talent present.

Robot War - This reminds Me of the Silly Debate About Global Warming


There is a lot of song and dance about Global Warming, "scientists arguing each side," but no one can deny there IS a problem.;) It also doesn't take a lot of brains to come to the conclusion that dumping tons of pollution into the atmosphere can't be helping matters.;)

Global Awesome - One Take on Global Warming


This video shows you the selfish perspective of those who refuse to see the problem of Global Warming. Sure, there are naysayers and global think tanks, teams of renouned scientists with their "impressive" charts and graphs that for some reason or other try to convince us that everything is "OK," but the simple fact is: a child of five can plainly see that the earth grows hotter each year. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that each summer the land grows hotter and the climate more acrid. The problem of global warming is an individual choice. The choices each of us make have a greater impact than you may think. Until consumer sentiment changes and global sentiment drives the global marketplace to change, there will BE NO CHANGE. Think about it.

Leonid the Magnificent Advances to the Finals in America's Got Talent


Tonight, Leonid the Magnificent advanced to the final round of America's Got Talent. I wrote about Leonid a while back so, if you want to see more Leonid coverage, use the search engine at the left and do a site search for Leonid.

Congrats to Leonid and the other finalists. I must say it was tough to watch the announcement to those who lost and won't go on in the competition. I must say, in my eyes they are all winners. A lot of dreams died that day and I was sad to share that moment with them.

But, like a phoenix, Leonid overcame last year's defeat and came back bigger and better than ever and so I hope that the others persevere and enjoy the same success.
