I Love a Story Like His
I'm so happy that Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. won "America's Got Talent." Although I didn't watch it very often (every time I checked NBC, it seemed to be on), when I heard him sing, I just couldn't believe how beautiful his voice was. Never off key. Always wonderful. And what a story he has...from where he was, to where he is now. He seems grounded and I hope the winnings and the success won't make him forget his true self. Congratulations to the man with a voice like Sinatra's!

He DOES have a marvelous voice, and I agree--he does seem like a humble man.
ReplyDeleteHow can you go wrong with a smooth voice like Sinatra's!
ReplyDeleteI totally love your new look :)
I SO agree! Landau was amazing!!
ReplyDeleteActually, I was pretty much uninterested in AGT this year....thought most of it was lame. But my husband and son watched it every week, so I would usually blog while they watched, and since our TV and computer are in the same room, I was aware of what was going on. And the very first time I heard Landau sing, I was hooked!!! (After all, you know I'm a Sinatra fanatic.)
And when on finale night he did "My Way," which is my all-time favorite Sinatra song, he brought me to tears. I thought he did a fabulous version of that song, and I thought he so deserved to win. I even voted that night...the first time all year I've done so.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Patti
I haven't been watching it, but I do love Sinatra, so I'm sure I'd like him too.
ReplyDeleteI love your new header, Becky. It suits you, I think. :-)
Love the quote from Frank Sinatra.

I could just feel his emotions last night. Congratulations to him. He seems like a really sweet guy with a soft big heart and I wish him all the best. I voted for him everytime , 10 times!
ReplyDeleteHi Sioux ~ Thanks! I can't wait for his first CD to come out. I'll definitely buy it! Since I don't own an MP3 Player, or whatever the NEW thing is now! I'm so old-fashioned!! Tee-hee!
ReplyDeleteHey Carol ~ Thanks and glad you like my new blog look!
Hi Patti ~ Thanks for sharing your feelings! And your vote may have been the one that helped him win!
Hi Daisy ~ Thanks..you would definitely love his voice! Glad you like my header, too. It does seem more like ME, doesn't it? (I'm sorry I haven't been by your blog in what seems like a LONG time!)
Hi Donna ~ Thanks. Gotta love that Frank!
Hey Sue ~ Ditto! :)
Hi Patricia ~ Thanks! And your votes, too, helped him to win! I voted a couple of different nights, when I happened to be watching!
Love the Sinatra quote. He had such a way with words, and with his voice.
