America's Got Talent's surprising winner By: Nikky Raney




Out of all the acts on America's Got Talent the most unique was Fighting Gravity. The group of frat brothers who took a semester off from school to pursue this dream. They used black lights, neon, and amazing teamwork to make an amazing performance that no one could have topped - or so they thought.

Michael Grimm was crowned the America's Got Talent winner receiving $1 million and the chance to headline a show in Vegas.

This choice was quite surprising. Besides Fighting Gravity the other candidates were Prince Poppycock and Jackie Evancho.

USA Today reports:

"Sharon Osbourne said she was sure they'd wind up with a show in Vegas and told them she wanted a front row seat on opening night."

It is agreed over many platforms (forums, Twitter, Facebook, blogs) that this was completely unexpected and an unpredictable turnout.

Grimm just didn't seem too out of the ordinary  or original. Prince Poppycock was a true character, Fighting Gravity was unique in so many ways and Jackie was a young girl with the voice of an old soul.

Congratulations to Grimm - I am sure the other candidates will receive opportunities to pursue their dreams.
