Rocco's Pop Revolution: Seen through the eyes of someone living it

Posts Tagged ‘America’s Got Talent

I never watch America’s Got Talent and I sure as hell wasn’t watching it while the Pretty Little Liars finale was on (recap coming up), but if I knew some kid with a yamaka was going to sing “What Makes You Beautiful” I would have VHS taped that shit.

OMG HE LIGHTS UP MY WORLD LIKE NOBODY ELSE!

I’m converting Judaism.

Let’s make sure this kid wins.

Did that headline make you click super fast while simultaneously calling the police?? Well, if it did… put down the phone! You can’t read this, vote for what I need you to vote for, and talk to the police about how I should be arrested.

The Strange Familiar is this new up and coming, totes mcgotes buzz worthy band that needs your help with TRL like voting.

MTVU has its Best Freshman Video of the week and “Being Me” just needs to win because it’s a good song, and The Strange Familiar have songs that need to be on every CW show ever made. <—- I’m being totally serious about this. They have already been on Secret Life of the American Teenager and America’s Got Talent.

Plus, lead singer Kira (girl in the green wig…. watch the video below to find out why) is way prettier than the rest of those weirdos above.

So, have I convinced you?? If not that ‘s fine just vote once HERE.

I’ll be your slave for life.

I didn’t realize the Travelocity gnome had so many friends and that they were all so talented.

Please tell me they are still on this show. I’m gonna need them to win. They are ALMOST as perfect as Prince Poppycock. And plus, Howie Mandel gave them a standing ovation and Nick Cannon made a prejudice comment.

For the win!

-Rocco

America’s Got Talent is not a show I normally watch… but this year Prince Poppycock caught my attention and my heart.

I mean when a man is that much prettier than you… you can’t help but be intrigued. Not that I run around in Victorian makeup like Mr. Poppycock above… but if I did… he would be way prettier. Not everyone could pull off pink glitter on the eyelids like that.

I know Christmas is over, so this song is moot at this point… but tuck it away (just like Prince Poppycock does) and save it for next year.

And, I don’t know about you but when I think of Christmas and the holidays, I think of a drag queens and lots of lace and glitter, not a little cherub child with the voice of an angel.

But maybe my Christmas’ are just weird???

Did Prince Poppycock not win this past season?? I don’t even know. I think that little robot NON lip- syncher Jackie Evancho did. But comparing those two is unfair…. poor little girl doesn’t even know what a drag queen is.

I fact checked and they both suck. Michael Grimm won. He definitely slept with someone to beat those two gems above.

-Rocco

Michael Grimm just won America’s Got Talent and therefore $1 million…

and then he decided to put a ring on it.

Michael Grimm proposed to girlfriend Lucy while stopping by The Ellen DeGeneres show.

I don’t wanna spoil it buuuuuuut…….. she said yes!

Oh and Michael Grimm performed Ray Charles’ “You Don’t Know Me”

Wow…. Michael is so happy it’s like he just won a national competition.

My dearest Prince Poppycock came in 4th place?!?!??!?! WTF???!?!!?

How could this little freakazoid not win??? I thought America loved drag queens who belted out some Opera?? How do you explain the success of Cher?


I feel like I am watching an Opera on PBS but the producers of Bravo and/or Logo are involved

Apparently America has no idea talent when they see it. I believe Lady Gaga sabotaged Mr. Poppycock because let’s be real… he is a threat to her image. He looks way better without pants than she does. And he may not be running around in a dress that spoils, but he certainly has the sass and pizzaz to overthrow the Ga.

But let’s not fret about a loss. Lets rejoice that the kid opera bot, Jackie Evancho, did not win. She scares me. If you poured water on her head (not sure why you would, but if you did) she would for sure short-circuit, and would no longer be able to sing in the creepy little angel voice that she does. I think she lip synched last night.

So alas, the winner is Michael Grimm. To be honest not really sure who he is, I only focused on the freaks and robots this year (my poppycocked prince and kid bot). But this is what he does:


Kinda sorta have a crush on him and his little curly fro. Again anyone but the kid bot will do.

Oh and if you, unlike me, were keeping tabs all season some group called Fighting Gravity were thrown into the final 4 mix. Again, how guys dressed in neon suits beat out the Prince, I do not know.

So another year has passed on America’s Got Talent…. Another season I have not watched.

Prince Poppycock apparently has been making waves on America’s Got Talent and he has made it to the finals. I think it’s the finals… I really have no idea what point this show is at… but it doesn’t really matter.

Mr. Poppycock performed “Bohemian Rhapsody” and he is in all his Lady Gaga loving glory.

The wig. The costume. The opera voice. The dramatic breaking of plates. The giant champagne bottle.

Lady Gaga is firing someone on her team because they didn’t come up with this performance.

Wow Mr. Poppycock…. I wonder what you were like in highschool.

-Rocco

My thoughts while watching:

It sounds so unnatural.

It scares me.

She has to be a robot.

This must be fake.

It was synched together is post production.

I’m gonna stop watching this.

…One Bad Cover At A Time

I can’t believe I am actually dedicating another post to this kid, but I am in shock!

This Tim Urban wannabe, and that is not saying much, made it into the semi-finals. I mean it is better than crazy Mary Ellen (see below) but really America??

I would never wanna see the unmentionable above utter a single note again while jamming out on the keyboard, but I am sure there was more talent. I’ll take the magician, the creepy, monster costume dance troupe from Philly, and even Prince Poppycock (yes that is his birth name people… do not judge), the psuedo-opera singer, decked out in clown costumes than this swoop bang debacle.

Maybe I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about. I should just stop this whole charade of me knowing talent. If this kid wins, I give up. I am gonna shut myself in my room and listen to The Biebster all day long. (That’s not a bad idea no matter who wins now that I think of it.)

Stay tuned because I am sure I will rant on this topic , even though I never seen a full episode and fo sho will not with Taylor Matthews “singing” every week.

Oh, and I thought I should let you all see Prince Poppycock with your own eyes in case you don’t watch the show. This is Ms. Poppycock in more formal wear (compared to the little jester number she dons once and awhile)

Tim Urban’s Long Lost Brother and

I don’t usually watch America’s Got Talent because I am not a huge fan of Nick Cannon Mr. Mariah Carey, and my love for Piers Morgan just can’t trump that.
But two videos surfaced that caught my attention and were totally worth a blog.

1) Taylor Matthews: HOW DID YOU GET THIS FAR?!?! I’d rather hear Tim Urban butcher all the songs he did on idol and see him do knee slides all over the stage for the rest of eternity than hear this guy DESTROY The Script’s “Man Who Can’t Be Moved”. It is really that bad. Taylor–please stop. Resign with dignity. Piers and his purple tie, Sharon, and “Deal Or No Deal” Mandel must be drunk! NO DEAL!

2) Mary Ellen the “singer”. WTF?!?! First off nice ginger, Don King hairdo. This woman is certifiable crazy.  The black, thick, painted on eyebrows, the dark red lipstick smeared all over as if she just had a hot make out sesh with a producer (that must be how she keeps on getting through) and the glitter outfits– it is all a little bat $#!t crazy. She can’t even play her Casio keyboard well. I don’t understand what her actual talent is supposed to be except that she must have escaped from some sort of institution. And what I don’t understand even more is how she hasn’t been buzzed off the second she hits the stage. I had to fast forward through the performance because it was just too much– but it is because she has “a virus” for 2 years, and she is sick– something completely out of her control people.

If this is what America has got to offer… I truly hope no foreigners are watching this show, and if you are– I apologize. Right now all America has is crazy!
