Michael Grimm, the new America' Got Talent champion and $1,000,000 winner, was poor. Grew up in Mississippi and he and his sister lived in a very disadvantaged situation to which details have not been furnished by Michael, but he and his sister were about to be put into foster homes. His Grandma and Grandpa stepped up and became their caregivers and nurturers. That was years ago. Michael is 30 now. There is an unquestionable love between the children and these grandparents, who lost everything in Hurrican Katrina. Michael grew up singing and playing guitar, no wonder, because he is blessed now with a remarkable soulful voice. His audition was the performance of a superstore and last night he won it all. It's a great story. The link is a video of the first introduction to this young man before the AGT judges months ago. You will love his little, tearful intro and his music. He was my fave from the get go. And I can't help but make the point that extended family can do a great job – certainly better than the State. Not unrelated, but I can hardly wait until the Bayne children win it all.
