8/22: More on Ryan & Fantasia
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you wanted an extended take on Ryan’s Emmy gig, the Washington Post obliges..
Fantasia is exhausted but rockin’ Broadway.. Oprah apparently convinced her to extend her stay through January despite the grueling schedule and emotional toll it takes to play Miss Celie in “The Color Purple.”
Oh, and I’m watching “America’s Got Talent” and those annoying one-trick ponies from last year called the “Quick Change Artists” (the woman’s dresses seem to change in a heartbeat multiple times) came back. But the woman slipped and fell at the beginning and it sure didn’t look like part of the act! Piers looks annoyed because yes, it’s the same act again! Then again, he might just be in massive pain over that Segway accident he got in when he broke a few ribs.
I really enjoyed the final four picks this year: the adorable 14 year old Julienne Irwin, the dignified beat-boxer/piano player Butterscotch, the engaging singer Cas Haley and my pick to win, the incredible singing ventroliquist Terry Fater. And he did. Watch him here.
The only unfortunate part about Fater winning is he will inspire a raft of really bad ventriloquists.
