Prince Poppycock Wins 4th Place On "America's Got Talent":Were You Surprised?

Even though he is flamboyant, outrageous and colorful plus the fact that he really does have a good voice, Prince Poppycock only made it to 4th place. I thought America would perhaps vote him in for at least 2nd place, since Americans seem to like Lady GaGa. (Prince Poppycock has been referred as a female Lady GaGa).

Prince Poppycock's real name is John Quale. He is 32 years old. He didn't expect to even place in the finals.

I'm shocked," Quale said last week after securing his place in the finale. "This is a nightclub act that I've been doing in Los Angeles for four years. I always received a very good response, but that was from twenty- and thirty something club goers. To have everyone, from grandmothers to kindergartners, respond so positively has honestly been very surprising."

What will his future be? Maybe he will be on a reality show. He does have a good voice, so maybe he will cut an album. Possibly, he could have a show in Las Vegas because he is so colorful and showy. Apparently, he also writes music.

"Ultimately, I do want to write an opera based around the Prince Poppycock character and his trials and tribulations," said Quale, who also composes and performs electronic music. "I would love to stage it as a full-on Ziegfeld Follies, Broadway extravaganza ... and then one day turn it into a movie."

Prince Poppycock, even though you are not my style and I don't get the costumes and white on your face, I salute you for coming in 4th place and wish you much luck.

Somehow I couldn't take this fellow seriously, with such a silly name! I'm wondering, of course, who did win....
