I don’t watch much TV and when I do I usually just turn on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, or I am watching a game. There are very few shows that I watch but, my wife and I like to watch America’s Got Talent. We don’t even watch it on the night that it is shown but we watch it on Hulu a day or two later.
Last night we watched the results show for this year. The winner was Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. a throwback crooner who had a great voice and a great story. He is a great talent, he has a great background story, he is a very likable person, but he is not the best talent. So why did America vote for him? Because we are nice. We love a good story.
I make this short post because I don’t see what others are saying about us as a country. We may come across as arrogant. We may have an air of superiority of the rest of the world. We may even look like bullies to others. But as a people we are not.
We love the underdog. We love the rags to riches story. We want to see people succeed on their own terms, through their own hard work, and with perseverance. We showed that with our voting for America’s Got Talent. The big winner with the show is America; we finally showed that we are a nice and caring nation.
Congratulations USA, you did not vote for the best talent, but you got it right.
