Go check out Lawrence Beaman on America’s Got Talent. This man sings from the depth of his soul. Last night, he was put through to the top 40. I’m glad–sometimes the judges make decisions that boggle my mind, but this time they made the right choice in Beaman.
I can’t embed the video on this blog, you’re gonna have to click on the link to see him perform.

Lambert had more vocal talent (in my humble, yet always correct expert opinion), but it’s all about the connection.
