Video] Michael Grimm, America's Got Talent winner 2010 !!
Talk about a Grimm's fairy tale! In a surprise development,Michael Grimm — the Mississippi blues singer with the hard-luck backstory — was named the winner of America's Got Talent on Wednesday, besting favorite Jackie Evancho, the 10-year-old opera phenom with the preternaturally mature voice.
"I really thought Jackie had it in the bag," a still-in-shock Grimm told PEOPLE after winning the $1 million prize and top billing at the upcoming AGT tour, which will stop for a show in Las Vegas. "I was preparing my speech to leave. I couldn't believe I heard my name. I was trying to make sure that what I thought was going on was going on, you know? This is definitely an out-of-body experience. This whole journey has been, but especially now."
Judge Piers Morgan insisted Grimm's victory was well deserved: "Michael's genuine, he's sincere, he's very talented, he got better with every round, and [on Tuesday] night he gave the performance of his life. He'll have a huge career. I think he's like a young Van Morrison."
And Evancho is the new Susan Boyle, Morgan believes. "Everyone assumed Susan was going to win [Britain's Got Talent] and she finished second," he said. "Now she's sold millions of albums. Jackie's going to have a superstar's career."
Struggling musician Grimm, 30, captured viewers' hearts with his soulful pipes and humble struggles: Raised by his grandparents, who lost nearly everything in Hurricane Katrina, he entered Talent with the hopes of being able to buy them a new home. It's a promise he intends to keep. "My grandparents don't have to worry about anything anymore," he said, tears filling his eyes. "I can't put into words what that means to me. They've supported me in the music through the years, and they've seen me fall and get back up and keep going. Now I can take care of them."
And they're not the only ones. Grimm revealed he plans to propose to Lucy, his girlfriend of nearly three years and the inspiration for his performance of "When a Man Loves a Woman" during Tuesday's finals. "That's my girl," he said, "and I'm not gonna let that one go."
But even a nearly-engaged guy has crushes, and Grimm got to perform with one of his — Jewel — during the finale. "She's amazing," he said of his duet partner on "Me and Bobby McGee." "She made me feel so comfortable on stage. But [at one point] she smiled at me and I almost vomited. I couldn't believe she smiled at me that way!"
The admiration is mutual. "Michael's a great guy," Jewel said after the show. "I relate to him because we both had kind of tough upbringings, and that can either make you bitter or it can make you stronger, and I think he's come out of it with compassion. That's nice to see."
Beginning Oct. 1, fans will have a chance to check out Grimm for themselves on the America's Got Talent Live tour. Beyond that, he's eager to get into the studio and record an album. "If people are thinking I'm gonna reinvent myself — it won't be that much," he says. "I'm definitely staying me."
About the Author
What site will allow me to read the original translations of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales?
Brothers Grimm
Tales Collected by the Brothers Grimm
For these stories we give the original 1884 text of Margaret Hunt, by all accounts a good translation, if somewhat old-fashioned by present-day standards. Hunt is based on the last revised edition of the Grimms tales. This electronic text follows Hunt as faithfully as possible and is, so far as we know, the only internet version to do so. More……….

Fairy Tales Of The Brothers Grimm $3.99 The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859), were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse. Throughout their lives they remained close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. Jacob was a pioneer in the study of German philology, and although Wilhelm's work was hampered by poor health the brothers collaborated in the creation of a German dictionary, not completed until a century after their deaths. But they were best (and universally) known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of 'Nursery and Household Tales' in 1812 and 1814. Although their intention was to preserve such material as part of German cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no Illustration, the tales soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories 'with the amusement of some young friends principally in view.' They have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since. |

Jacob is One of the Most Popular Baby Boy Names Ever
The most popular name for a baby boy in the last eleven years has been the name Jacob.
Have you ever heard the story of how the baby boy Jacob from the Old Testament of the Bible was named? If not, listen to this:
The name Jacob is pronounced JAY-kub. And that's pretty much the way everyone says it…not really any variations. The typical nickname is Jake, which is generally considered a "hunk" name…romance novelists everywhere have named their macho cowboys and other heros Jake. The Jacob in the Bible was a hero not a hunk. the tribes of Israel were named after Jacob's sons and he had twelve.
Jacob Grimm was the name of the man who write the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. There are a couple of other famous Jacobs. Comedian Rodney Dangerfield's birth name was Jacob Cohen Jack Ruby, who shot Lee Harvey Oswald, was named Jacob Rubenstein.
Other Jakes and Jacobs are Actor Jake Gyllenhaal ….a very popular Jacob Jake Lloyd played Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars movies Jacob Miller, Musician Jakob Christiansen, football star Jacob Perkins, Inventor Jacob Teitelbaum, Author and medical expert
And the name Jacob is all over the place…music, movies and books abound with Jacobs.
There are all those romance novel Jakes to start off with. There are books called "Jacob's Gift," "Jacob the Baker," and "Jacob's Ladder." Movies called "Jacob the Liar" and "Jacob's Gift." And a book and a movie AND a song called "Jacob's Ladder." What is all of this about Jacob's Ladder? Jacob, of Jacob and Esau fame, had a dream when he was trying to get away from his brother after stealing Esau's birthright. He dreamed that there was a ladder that went straight up to Heaven and that it could be climbed to get to Heaven. "We are climbing Jacob's Ladder, we are climbing Jacob's ladder, we are climbing Jacob's Ladder, brothers, sisters, all is a gospel." It seems that THAT Jacob had a lot going on! A breed of sheep has been named The Jacob Sheep. They are adorable little black and white-faced sheep, with curly horns. They are currently found mostly in England, but are thought to be direct descendants of the sheep that Jacob and Esau used to tend in their land. A plant called Jacobs Ladder is used in home landscaping. It has flat leaves with a design that seem to look like a ladder, so they are named after Jacob's ladder.
quite a story, quite a history. t is popular enough to stay around for a long time more and has already been around a long time.
