Star War

In this battle, everyone wins.

This is the second year I watch this reality show. In spite of the fact that the show’s contestants are amateurs, their acts on live television are quite creative and professional. I am talking about the NBC’s talent show "America’s Got Talent."

Many will agree with me that not only this show in its fourth season is very entertaining, its contestants also bring the viewers many compelling stories to share.

Just mention a few. One group of young men grew up in a rough neighborhood. Instead of becoming street bums, they decided to play balls. The way they shot the balls into the lofty basket made me wonder if they were Globe Trotters' poster boys. Even though this group was not voted in for the final competition, the roaring applause and accolade its members received on the show will inspire them favorably in all their future endeavors. Another group of three siblings with angelic voices woke their comatose mother up with spiritual songs. One opera singer, a cancer survivor, soothed our souls with high-octave arias. And a humble chicken catcher crooned ballads that melted our hearts. There are two other male singers. Resulting from hard work, both of them are heading to stardom soon.

Tomorrow night we will know who is the winner among the ten terrific finalists. Their final performances last night were so great. I think all of them deserve the first prize. - Ayee
