I've lived in Sikeston my whole life... haha. I never met or heard of him though before he went on here though. I met him at the football game last year, though.:) GO SIKESTON BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!!!
don be dum.."@xEricTheGothx" its harmone prob.. not all guys eat well r fat.. rather u must see his talent... sympathy or not.. he is worth given the title..
im not mocking people with weight problems or people who have had hard lives (as i've had and overcome both of those things) but he said he grew up poor yet he's that big? . . . somethings not right there i think hes looking for sympathy
a persons sexuality does not determine his talent..he is awesome..i pray for his health and safety..it would be such a tragic loss to lose this great talent to obesity
Have you seen this guy lately? Man he's gotten bigger. I saw him on a recent interview and he was acting kind of feminine. Do any of you guys think he's gay? He is enormously talented and very cute. I know it doesn't matter if he's gay but I keep hearing people question his sexuality.
GREAT GREAT THIS IS WHAT AMERICA GOT TALENT ALL ABOUT FINDING TALENT LIKE THIS. GREAT AND I KNEW IT FROM WHEN I SAW THIS YOU WERE GOING TO WIN. GREAT TALENT ITS WORTH MORE THEN ONE MILLION DOLLROS
oh man, he looks so nervous at 3:00... he's an AMAZING singer. He looks like he's going to throw up all over the stage at the beginning before he got more into the song though. haha
Yo Neal that was a hell of a performance!!!!! Forget all this negativity people say I'm an Eli fan myself as well as u ur winning agt was very well deserved!!!!!! I liked ur performances
i wouldn't say that.... i mean ... both Boyd, and Mattson both have a tough background, if you want to compare emotions, sure both have emotions... if you want to compare vocal range... Eli falls short, but then they are two completely different types of singers, you can't really compare both, Eli sings Blues, Neal sings Oprah, Oprah is obviously more demanding.
Paul Potts is clearly much better. Neil didn't even come close to getting a measly 1% of the views Paul Potts did on youtube and won. Does Britain really have more talent? What's happening America??
Sneaky, you are obviously British so you are being bias...
Oh by the way, the US still shits on you. We create everything and you take from us. Give me at least THREE popular companies that the UK has that is used WorldWide. Tell your soccer players to remove their Nike/Adidas/Puma cleats. That's our shit.
i have to say, i agree w/ sneakypeex and i'm an american. it's not that we don't have talent, but really we have to do more to cultivate our talent and improve the quality of our education. America is a great nation, as is Britain as well.
Well, everyone can be a little bias can't they, it just shows how proud they are of their country :)
I'm from Britain, but I do think BGT is better as an overall show. That's just my opinion.
But I've been on many videos and some people from different countries do like BGT more, I don't know why but they do. This doesn't mean that it IS better, it just shows that not everyone who supports BGT is British.
Anyway, this guy has got talent, I'm so glad he won :)
I cant belive anyone would love this performance, THIS GUY SUCKS! He isnt an opera singer, he's a singer only, a bad singer at best, and all you people that "love" this attempt at singing, need to get of the band wagon and truely listen to this guy destroy this great song, you need to check out other REAL TENORS and compare, because you sound ignorant praising and saying that you are crying and saying that he has power and clarity give me a break guys, HE SUCKS ASS!!!
Neal, I can't stop watching nessun dorma thanks to you. :) I've never been a big fan of opera, but it's a beautiful and powerful song sung by many great vocalists, and you really did a fantastic job with it. Congratulations on your win and thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us.
WOW - That was the MOST beautiful experience I've seen in a while. AbSOULutely beautiful. Watching Neal and the support from the judges and audience is what makes me proud to be an American! Go Neal!!
I just adore the power and clarity of your voice. It's thrilling! You have such class and presence to go with your talent. I like Queen Emily but she's just not in the same tier with you.
I've lived in Sikeston my whole life... haha. I never met or heard of him though before he went on here though. I met him at the football game last year, though.:) GO SIKESTON BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!!!
