We're on Boyd watchTuesday, July 8, 2008
Another week, another episode of "America's Got Talent," which is the number one rated show in America. The reason is because of the talent (and un-talent), which includes one Southeast Missouri native, Neal E. Boyd, and another man with Southeast Missouri ties, Matthew Piazzi, son of Southeast Missouri State University voice instructor Judith Farris. Word on the street is that Boyd's on again tonight as the show (still pre-taped) shifts over to Las Vegas with a narrowed field. And when it comes to Boyd, we've got you covered. We have an entire site dedicated to the tenor who made America take notice on the first episode of "America's Got Talent" this year. On the site you'll find old stories, new stories, video of Boyd's performance, video of Piazzi and an interview with show judge Piers Morgan. Tonight I'll be leading a live chat during the show, which starts at 8 p.m. Check it out. Hope to see you there.

I sure hope Neal is reading all of these lovely comments. Please, if anyone is talking to Neal, just one request? The night of his first audtion, he was choked up with emotion, rightfully so. When he got that way, he ended his song on a short note. Please, Neal, pull out your ending notes to a longer sound. I don't know the correct term for that, but I noticed that Idol contestants make the same mistake. Don't cut it off abrubtly, just take it long and finish big! Oh, and do a Meatloaf song....and something from Phantom of the Opera...like Music of the Night
