Comment:I just want to thank everyone-- the judges, O.J., Julie, all the contestants and the audience. I had so much fun performing each week and watching everyone else perform. There truly is a lot of talent in the area. I appreciate all the support I was given throughout the past 10 months I've been involved in Michigan's Got Talent. It's really been fun!

Awesome performances by all!!! I didn't envy the job the judges had to do... all through the contest! Thank you for your time, dedication and honest appraisals. With every performance, by every participant, I felt even more honored to be involved with such a great pool of diverse talent. Each of you gave so much to this contest! It was phenomenal entertainment and a great place to make many, many new friends!
A great big congratulations to Kevin!!! You have such an amazing voice and presence, bro!! I hope to see you performing on a regular basis soon.
To all the people involved, I have officially set the date for our "Best of Mid-Michigan Reunion" benefit as Wednesday, August 20, starting at 7pm. We will be asking for a minimum donation of $5 at the door, which will all go to benefit the Cancer Society. I ask that all 15 semi-finalist bring their hottest performances for this great cause. It will be worth more than $5 for one of the greatest nights of entertainment you will ever see! If you'd like to collaberate with the other performers, this would be the venue for some amazing musical team ups. I'm still considering a finale, where all of us will sing together. I'm looking for something other than "We Are The World" or "That's What Friends Are For". If anyone has some suggestions, drop me a line at altomusic@live.com.
Maybe we can even do a commercial for Dick! Smile!
I can't express my thanks enough for O.J., Julie and Marlo... I really love you guys!!!
To John and all the folks at the Stables... THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!! Every week, I saw someone eating your outstanding food and all I could do was drool! I don't eat before I sing, so it was sheer torment. NOW... I will certainly be out there to enjoy that wonderful cuisine and the greatest ambiance and staff in Bay City.
Finally,.....

"ARE YOU AWAKE OUT THERE!!!!?????"

This wouldn't have been half of what it was without the eerily energetic one; Dougy Dore! You never let the energy drop for a moment! The greatest host in the Tri-Cities!
Finally, a great big thanks to all the amazing people who came out to support the contestants. Heck! What fun would it be if we were singing to an empty house!? You people really sent the vibe, in person and online. You are what it's all about! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!
Thank you all again, SO VERY MUCH!!! I can't wait to see you on August 20th!

Love,
Alto

Thank you everyone! What an amazing experience! I decided to start going to the Stables to make some friends in Bay City, and through The Michigan's Got Talent process, I did exactly that! So I may have won the contest, but I really won in freindship! Thank you Doug, Tommy, Kathy, Dick and the mbc staff, and the stable's staff, and eveyone else involved for making this ONE VERY FUN EVENT!!!

I am so impressed with all of the original talent from everyone. Again, many thanks to my new friends, and I do hope to see you Sunday (hard at work this weekend bringing something new to that event!) and I will definelty be there on August 20th. You all are the greatest!

Lauren Thomas should have won hands down. Poor choice judges.

Congratulations to Kevin! He did a great job at the Pig Gig and was definitely deserving. I'm glad to have the privilege to have met you.
I also have to thank Doug Dore! I cannot believe I didn't thank you in my last post, but this whole competition wouldn't have been possible without you so thank you very much!
Can't wait to see everyone again on the 20th!

You are all beautiful people with tons of talent! Your proven perseverance and dedication to this competition was amazing! You're all winners in my book. Having had a son in an earlier competition, I know the frustrations some of you may have in not getting through to the finals...I do...The time and money spent into this competition can be overwhelming and not everyone can relate, but I can. Rock on, all of you! Keep us informed on the reunion!
