I have to say I'm glad Terry Fator won the 2007 edition of America's Got Talent. Terry's a ventriloquist, which is not only a difficult talent to learn, but also a novelty. And fun when done right. And Terry did it right!

I guess I'm just tired of singing competitions. And that's what a show like America's Got Talent can become. And almost did with its top four (and last years winner, Bianca.) Not that I don't like singing, but seeing someone else's talent win just made that show so much better.

Now I don't see a huge resurgence of ventriloquism hitting America. I doubt you'll see too many street corner ventriloquist acts. But maybe it's time for more of a Vaudeville-esque type of show in America. Back in the day before radio people would gather together in the community for entertainment. Amateur Nights and all in the town square. Of course, that was back when we had communities. People coming together, showing off, having fun.

Anyway, I wish Terry the best of luck.
