As with any competition based TV show, search engines are filled with people searching for as much information on the winner as possible. America's Got Talent is no exception.America's Got Talent is a Competition based TV show from the gang over at NBC. The 2010 season of America's Got Talent consisted of hosts Piers Morgan, Sharon Osborne (The wife of Rocker Ozzy Osbourne - William actually) and Canadian Comedian Howie Mandel. Funny thing is, the only American (Aside from contestants) visible on America's Got Talent 2010 is Nick Cannon. Even the Executive Producer of America's Got Talent - Simon Cowell is a Brit. Just a little useless trivia before I get into the contestants and the winner of America's Got Talent 2010.
So as for the 2010 Season of America's Got Talent. This year, as with pretty much every year, America's Got Talent 2010 started out with a wide variety of performers including many talentless hacks who got in purely based on age, cuteness or some sad story. All that aside, there were also some very interesting contestants in the way of Magicians, jugglers, acrobats, daredevils, and, of course, Musicians. The 2010 edition of America's Got Talent even featured an aged Lesbian Hand Whistler who seemingly came on purely to promote her book.
At the end, most of the riff raff were filtered out and a few strong contenders rose to the top. Some of the favorites in America's Got Talent 2010 were
If Google's Search trends on America's Got Talent were any indication, pint sized Jackie Evancho would appear to be the clear cut winner followed by Prince Poppycock and then Fighting Gravity. Somewhere down the list is his grandmothers favorite performer, Michael Grimm as well as the other top 10 America's Got Talent 2010 Contestant Michael Grasso.
Since the anouncement of the Winner of America's Got Talent 2010, the Breakouts in the search world were Jimmy Fallon on top followed very closely by Michael Grasso. I guess it must be difficult for the America's Got Talent fans to deal with two different Michael American's Got Talent Contestants... Especially since they both have the same initial for their last name. Yes, I know, useless Trivia and get to the winner.
Well, the Winner of America's Got Talent 2010 is Michael Grimm... The guy with only a 40% increase in popularity over the breakout's Jimmy Fallon, Michael Grasso and Prince Poppycock... So what is Pince Poppycock's real name anyways? Is Prince Poppycock gay? I'm sure these are also questions going through America's Got Talent Viewers and they recover from months of being glued to the tube.
So yes, the Winner of the 2010 season of America's Got Talent is, Prince PoppyCock... no, Michael Grasso... Nope, it is bluesy singer Micahel Grimm who told viewers he would use the money he won towards helping his Granparents who raised him, rebuilt from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
Add this to last year's surprise America's Got Talent 2009 Winner and Chicken fu...oops Plucker Kevin Skinner. I remember when 2009 America's Got Talent Winner, Kevin Skinner, first stepped out on the stage and told the judges he was a Chicken Plucker... There was not so silent jearing and of course some outright laughter and Kevin Skinne's Southern Drawl.
Well, at least the 2010 America's Got Talent Winner, Michael Grimm's didn't pluck chickens for a living, although I'm sure his humble beginnings did not hurt his chances of winning the America's Got Talent pot.
I am not saying Michael Grimm did not deserve to win. Quite the opposite, actually. Personally, I kinda preferred his stylings over the others, although I would have liked to have seen the Fire guy Antonio Restivo win... or even the very sexy Debra Romer who always looked like she was going to cry.
Michael Grimm grew up in South Mississippi where Michael Grimm's grandparents raised him. Michael Grimm's grandmother took him to church on Sundays, where she played the piano at the service. This was where Michael Grimm fell in love with music. Michael Grimm's grandmother inspired him and encouraged him to pursue his newfound love. At the age of 12, Michael Grimm started working at local bars. As Michael Grimm grew older, he perfected his guitar playing, vocals and songwriting skills, listening to different styles of music while he continued to write his own. In 2000, Michael Grimm was encouraged to move to Las Vegas because of the abundance of work. Michael Grimm worked in Las Vegas with many different artists, learning and playing a wide variety of musical styles.
Michael Grimm eventually formed his own three-piece band, working in small local bars, casino lounges, and a few Vegas steakhouses. When Michael Grimm auditioned for America's Got Talent, he had a goal. That goal was to show his appreciation to his grandparents. Just like many others, his grandparents lost everything in the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Michael Grimm would like to offer his grandparents a home. America's Got Talent can be the vehicle to help him achieve his goal. And sure enough, Michael Grimm's Grandparents will be living in a new home. I am happy for them.
As for the other 2010 America's Got Talent Favorites, Prince Poppycock and pint sized singer Jackie Evancho, here are their bio's perhaps you will find out if Prince Poppycock is gay and truly a fan of the cock.

Jackie Evancho
Jackie Evancho was born to Michael and Lisa Evancho, and has an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister. Jackie Evancho started singing when she was seven years old, after watching the movie "Phantom of the Opera." Her mother heard Jackie Evancho singing songs from the movie and allowed her to enter a local talent contest just for fun. Jackie Evancho finished as the runner-up and was voted the audience favorite. Eventually Jackie Evancho participated in other talent contests and started a YouTube channel.

On November 1, 2009, Jackie Evancho released her debut album called "Prelude to a Dream." The album features mainly covers of songs such as Martina McBride's "Concrete Angel," Josh Groban's "To Where You Are," and a cover of "Amazing Grace," among others. Several crossover selections appear on the album as well; "Con te Partiro" is not an operatic piece, although "O Mio Babbino Caro" does appear in Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi." The version of Schubert's "Ave Maria" heard on the album is not the original song, which is set to a secular text in German. Instead, it's an arrangement of the Roman Catholic setting of the "Hail Mary" prayer in Italian.
