Spaghetti, Elvis (kind of) and Marilyn

Some of you may, or may not, have watched the reality show "America's Got Talent," but there was a guy on there from Lincoln impersonating Elvis.

See the following link for a performance of his (copy & paste):

Anywho, months ago, Mom heard that this guy and a Marilyn Monroe impersonator were going to be at the Eagles in Lincoln so we decided to get tickets and go to the show. They had an Italian buffet ahead of time and Zoie really enjoyed shoveling in her spaghetti!!



Between spaghetti and the show starting, Zoie did a little pre-show for us...she got up on the stage steps and sang & danced...it was adorable! Then her and Grandma channeled Elvis with some rockin' shades and a lei I bought...





The Marilyn impersonator came on first...she was very pretty and did a good job with the music...and Zoie was mesmerized by her! She loved watching her and would dance with her...I could see the dreams forming in her little mind and the stars shining in her eyes!


Next, came what was supposed to be really GREAT Elvis impersonator...what we got was a total dud! Mom & I had actually seen this guy about 15 years ago and he did a decent job then...but we were supposed to be seeing the young guy this time...and he was no where to be found. They didn't say one thing about why he wasn't there or anything. This guy's whole show was dedicated to kissing up to his wife because he was leaving on a 12-day "tour", so she must not have been happy with him if he felt he had to broadcast his love and devotion in such a public forum! He did do something sweet at the beginning though...he gave Zoie a light-up tiara and announced to the small crowd that she was a princess and he tried to dedicate a song to her but she was not having it! Other than that, it was a real let down...the buffet was more satisfying by far - he didn't even sing "Hound Dog"!



Thank ya...Thank ya very much...uh huh!
