World HOt toPPIX

" America's Got Talent " crowned its season 6 champion Wednesday night. The prize: $1 million and a headlining act in Las Vegas. It's somewhat fitting?

It's somewhat fitting that Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. won. The carwasher-turned-singer won over the audience with hits like Frank Sinatra's classic "Fly Me to the Moon." Like Sinatra, Murphy will make lots of fans, and money, on the Vegas Strip.

Fan favorites Team iLuminate finished a surprising third. The innovative act combined dancing with light shows, and there was an audible gasp in the audience when their placement was read.

Second place went to another dance troupe -- The Silhouettes -- whose talent is that they perform in shadows. Fourth went to pop group PopLyfe, who struggled in their final performance.

The highlight of the evening came from an encore performance from 11-year-old opera singer Jackie Evancho, who delivered a dazzling performance of Nessun Dorma.

Singers seem to have the edge in the competition. Five of the six winning acts have been singers -- the sixth, Terry Fator, sings as part of his impressionist act.

MR.MURPHY JR DESERVED TO WIN. I LOVE ALL MUSIC, BUT IT WAS SO REFRESHING TO SEE A YOUNG MAN LIKE LANDAU SING THE SONGS HE SINGS, I HOPE HE GOES A LONG WAY IN HIS NEW JOURNEY. GREAT JOB AMERICAReply Likes 0 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote Torri:

It was a delight to see Landau win. He gave a classy appearance with a clear voice. For once a singer came through with the words to a song that I could understand. Reply Likes 0 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote Judi:

I felt that silhouettes deserved to win, their act was innovative and unique. It seems that in our country we only believe that singers have talent. Reply Likes 0 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote wenzy:

America got it right! Who on earth would pay to see a bunch of kids perform for 2 hours! Not only would they have to leave school but most of them would be asleep by the time the shows started!Reply Likes 0 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote katt:

I'm so glad Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.won! He was my favorite from the first time I watched him audition. I really liked Team iLuminate and the Silhouetes, but who would I spend $$ to watch for 90 minutes in Vegas? My money's on Landau!Reply Likes 0 Dislikes 0 Clear Vote Eduardo Receno:
