Gay Power! Houston's Very Own Kurt Hummel Stuns Judges on America's Got Talent

Ryan and I have been a fan of America's Got Talent since it's inception, and while we haven't necessarily agreed with the champions each season, we throughly enjoy the show.  The things some of these people do are crazy.  And it isn't any easier if they're auditioning in your state, much less your city.

Last night's auditions were in Houston, Texas, and one performer stuck with us the most.  The performance by 19-year-old, Daniel Joseph Baker from Katy, a suburb of Houston.  When Ryan and I saw him in the previews to the show, we immediately knew he was family (gay slang for "He's a member of the family. He's gay.").  Sure enough, he let it be known that he was.  He was as flamboyant as anyone could ever be - reminiscent of GLEE's Kurt in some ways.  But it wasn't his personality that surprised us the most, it was his voice that was beyond-belief amazing!  When he started belting out the song to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, the audience, and the judges went crazy.  They were all thrown off their rockers when they witnessed a young gay man taking it to town on his keyboard. He was "fierce!" (even more gay slang). Watch the outstanding performance from last night. He clearly puts American Idol's, Scotty to shame. Loved it!

Ryan and I were yelling, "Gay Power!" "Gay Power!", when he received a standing ovation from the audience.  This is something we usually do when we know there's "family" in reality shows.  This is our way of cheering for the few, and the proud.  We adore you Daniel, and we'll continuously cheer you on!
