Michael is performing at the Flamingo in Las Vegas for ten nights, beginning November 29, 2011. For dates and ticket information, check his website michaelgrimmmusic.
First time I saw his audition on AGT, he was about 3 notes into the song and I knew he'd win. Everyone in that audience experienced the same thing because that's about how long it took for them to react. Love this guy.
Has Michael's album been released outside of the U.S???? I've been looking for it, but I have had no luck in finding it. He is so good live, that I bet he sounds incredible on a studio recording!
Too whiney? That's kind of an awkward thing to say.. It just sounds to me like he put all of his emotion and soul into it. After all, his is described as a soul singer.
Love it! And yes Michael is doing quite nicely - Signed with Epic records and presently touring with Stevie Nicks. He is coming to San Francisco soon and I can't wait to see him live.
Haven't heard of this guy ever since he won. Yeah, he's a good singer. But it's unfair to the other acts who deserve to win. Because who would wanna go see a show in Vegas just for a singer? There's always American Idol.
@PBandTauren Sigh......I and a few million others would pay money to see this guy. Unless you want to see fat Elivis impersonators.....but then you can see them as Walmart greeters for nothing.
This man is the veritable personification of the very roots of American music....unlike anything you will ever hear anywhere in the world.
None of the singers who have won AGT were at an age where they could've been on American Idol. Michael Grimm was 30 when he was on AGT. The year before Kevin Skinner was 35. And the year before an opera singer won -- wouldn't that have been interesting to see on American Idol! The first year a 12-year-old girl won. AGT is for anyone with talent, be they a singer, magician, dancer, or any of 100 other talents. Myself, I'm thankful Michael was on and won. What an amazing singer he is!!!!
if you think singers should go to american idol...then dance crews should go to america's best dance crew....logic...back up you words THEN talk...anyone can come on AGT...singers,dancers,bikers,magicians,comedians,etc...so shut the hell up and vote for ur favourite! GOD
thats why we soon will have X Factor in the states. its all about singing. all ages and groups.much bigger outlet for singers then just American idol.
Yeah, and I can see why with this performance, it's incredible, I'm not sure how there's even a question of who the right winner was after listening to this.
A truly amazing singer! Ever since i first saw him in the audition, i knew he was going to win, he could have won the whole thing with just his audition i think. Anyways hes truly awesome and a very inspiring and soulful man.
Haha I actually no... I've seen him live, he brings this intensity in every song he sings for a good hour and a half- 2 hours... The guy is incredible
He really could have won on AI ... so I have to agree w/the folks that say he should have tried out for that. Then again maybe he did ... we don't get to see ALL the people who send in their stuff or stand in line.
@MsThebeMoon I think he mentioned last year that he did try out for Idol and did not make the cut. Then again, Jackie E tried out for AGT but only got in through You Tube and probably should have won, based purely on talent, but MG was an equally great choice as winner.
You guys are morons. This is nothing short of incredible. Nobody in todays music industry sings with that much power and passion in their voice. You idiots who hit dislike really need to reevaluate what you think talent is, because this is it.
@tpacuk19 I'm a big MG fan and his voice is powerful and relatively unique. His performances last year and live connect better with the audience. He did this song well but it didn't draw you into the music that way some other songs did. Sometimes songs and performances can be powerful but the power of a singer is to draw you in not push you back to observing more than experiencing. Like all artists, not all great performances are masterpieces.
I understand what you mean, but when he closes his eyes you can see that he's reaching for the passion to pull out to make the song as powerful as it is. It gives me goosebumps. That is his way of connecting.
Fuck some of you people are stupid as shit, this is amazing! I don't get it. He won the competition last year from popular vote and this performance literally blew away any performance he did last year, and all you guys can comment about is how Jackie or someone else should have won?? Get ur heads out of ur asses!
@yoko81 American Idol has restrictions on how old you can be, and Michael Grimm was older than the allowed age so he would not be allowed on that competition so stfu and gtfo if you have nothing productive to say.
u losers, u cant hit those high notes. he is the best. this is one of the hardest songs to sing in the world, he did amazing. singing is talent, everyone can sing, but only some ppl can sing perfectly. that is perfectly singing with his soul
And hopefully another singer doesnt win... seriously we have enough competitions for singers... next year americas got talent should restrict singing to only the unique styles and not the styles of the other shows
@CheeseQueen96 Poplyfe is a fresher talent and more commercisl. Lys is great but, I don't think she will carry an audience with her singing as it is now. It's not entrancing nor unique enough. Her field is too narrow (Classical Crossover / Opera) to be a successful solo artist (e.g. Linda Jenkins, Sarah Brightman, or even Jackie E -- who has sold over 1.5 million CDs already-- her voice is unique and entrancing). Best bet is to study real opera, could make it bigger there if fits her voice best.
I could NOT agree more. Most of the singers on this show that have the "Top 40" style to them would get destroyed on American Idol. Opera singers, duets/groups, and the like should be the only singers allowed.
@jim6700 America's Best Dance Crew. Dance crews should not be allowed in AGT, by your logic, tyvm. Using your logic, we just disqualified Team iLuminate, WSDT, Fatally Unique and so on and so forth. Granted, the only real top 4 act in those three is Team iLuminate, but if we use your logic, they wouldn't even be allowed to compete.
@dmac32a once again I said UNIQUE styles, go back to my original statement should be allowed, like Landou and Annie, also the only dance show to my knowledge only allows INDIVIDUALS
@jim6700@yoko81 and @EVERYONE ELSE! AGT is like a large talent show. Anyone with any talent can enter. That's just how it is. If you don't want them to go far, don't vote for them. Not everyone shares your opinions. Deal with it.
@iLuvHawkNelson88 way to ignore the point THERE ARE TONS OF OTHER SINGING TALENT SHOWS. How many unique talent, talent shows are there? Thats right none.
Last year before this show aired, american idol was all there was.. It wasn't til after this show where "the voice" and now "x factor" came out... He's not an american idol, they look for people that they can shape and mold into pop stars, he's not that guy, plus, he was too old for idol so this was the only other show he could go on. You said that only unique singers should be aloud.. Well, here ya go.. There's nobody else in this industry with this kind of soul, passion, and power.
@yoko81 I disagree... Not with him being on American Idol, I do agree with that... But say you're a country singer... You could be the greatest country singer but you still wouldn't win Idol... They want someone to be the next Gaga or Perry... Not Mcgraw lol
