Thank you for posting it. I don’t watch much tv these days so I didn’t know about it. Really amazing talent!!!

Did you actually listen to him singing?
I did, all his appearances except the final. He puts on a very professional performance, both in terms of his keyboard skills and his vocal technique. He performs a lot in and around his home town. He is a true musical savant, but, of course, the fact that he is doubly handicapped didn’t hurt his chances. I do think that he would have made it at least part of the if he had been completely “normal” (whatever that is), given the same musical skills. I don’t know how his handicaps are going to affect his becoming a professional entertainer, which is what AGT is really all about.

I’m someone on the autism spectrum, and I really don’t appreciate what you just said. I feel like it was mean-spirited and bigoted.
