I am pretty willing to bet you have not heard this name before unless you watch Americas Got Talent, or you saw this, as I did, as a link on FB. He sang In the Arms of the Angels, a song made famous by Sarah McLaughlin. It was moving because Ryan was so nervous and yet his performance was steady and his voice is so unusual. He played the piano as he sang, adding to his pressure. I do not know how he will do in this competition, but we have not seen that name for the last time. The poignant part for me was his wife and son in the wings watching him perform and so hopeful for him.Yes i am a bit of a softy.
The one down side was a fan saying on FB how shocked they were to learn the song was about a drug overdose and a was written by an atheist. That silly person doesn't realize that music belongs to the person enjoying it. One day it may be a tv commercial jingle, but despite its origins, if indeed the steven person was correct, that's not what it was about for me.
Just as a pointless aside, can someone explain to me why this competition has two British -born judges? is Howie Mandel our standard for excellence?do we have no talent in American judges? just askin'.
Blessings
