Where is poppycock from americas got talent

If he was nervous, he didn't show it. He always kept his composure, and TV viewers got the sense they were watching a seasoned musician. Michael Grimm had a compelling back-story. He was raised by his grandparents, and their house in Mississippi was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Grimm promised he would try his best to win "America's Got Talent" so he could help his grandparents rebuild their lives.

He is too wacky. Yes, he would be a perfect fit for a Vegas show. But for all the people who loved Prince Poppycock's colorful costumes and outlandish routines, just as many people hated them.

They just didn't get his shtick. And that definitely cost him a lot of votes. Even though he energized the theater audience during most of his acts, if you rewatch the recent video clips, you'll notice his voice wasn't as crisp and powerful as it was earlier in the season. He seemed to have more vocal control during the early rounds. Song choice. Piers Morgan was right. Prince Poppycock blew it by picking a serious and boring opera song for his very last performance — the one that would determine the million-dollar winner.

As I wrote in a previous column , the Final 4 performance show is always going to attract more television viewers, and some of them are going to be newcomers to AGT. I would bet Prince Poppycock put most of those newcomers to sleep. Or had them thinking: What's with all those freakin' feathers on his head? The big red X. Piers Morgan was clearly pushing hard for little Jackie Evancho to win the title.

He wanted a Susan Boyle-like media buzz for the show. And it was wrong for him to press his buzzer on Prince Poppycock during his final performance. Morgan may be obnoxious, but he's not stupid. He knew his stunt would hurt Prince Poppycock's chances of winning, and it obviously did. With such a loyal fan base and week after week of high praise from the AGT judges and overwhelming ovations from the AGT audience, I don't think anyone would have expected the prince to end up in fourth place.

The X hurt him badly. American tastes. Mainstream America likes blues better than opera, and humble better than flamboyant.

What do you guys think? He continued his studies at competitive Interlochen Arts Camp, performing and touring with musicals and choirs through his high school and college years. Inspired by his love for a wide range of musical styles and artists like David Bowie, Depeche Mode, opera, madrigals, Gregorian chant, The Smiths, and Gilbert and Sullivan, John began to write and record his own music while still a teen. In college, he was lead singer and songwriter for Chicago synth pop band Endora; later, after moving to Los Angeles, he wrote, produced, and released his solo debut album, Worldview, which is now available on iTunes.

There was one stipulation: he must wear a wig. John works actively on both Prince Poppycock as well as his solo projects as a singer and songwriter. He is presently partnering with songwriter and keyboardist Kristian Hoffman of The Mumps and Klaus Nomi note on the Poppycock debut album. Prince Poppycock's audition in Episode consisted of singing "Largo al factotum. He was sorted into the "Classical Singers" category. During the week, he was actually ill. Nevertheless, due to his uniqueness and showmanship, his audition was strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals along with Hannibal Means.

Prince Poppycock performed in Week 4 of the Quarterfinals in Episode He sang "Vesti la giubba" while dressed in a clown costume that lit up with several LED lights. Piers liked Poppycock's two personalities John Quale and Poppycock and said he had a great Broadway-ready voice.

Sharon loved his costume and liked the fact he was fit for a opera singer. Howie liked his performance and said it was campy. Prince Poppycock performed in Week 1 of the Semifinals. His performance in Episode consisted of singing a modified version of "Bohemian Rhapsody.
