AMERICA’S GOT TALENT 7/13/10: Sally Cohn

I know what you guys are going to say…Seriously?! Sally?! But come on…she HAND WHISTLED MARIAH CAREY’S “HERO”! That is SUCH a difficult song to SING, let alone WHISTLE! Gotta give her credit for that one.  Love Piers’ little jab at Nick about how Sally’s version was the BEST and MOST IN-TUNE version he’s ever heard (*cough* Mariah *cough*).

I will say that if she didn’t have her little “chat” time with the judges every time, her “act” wouldn’t be NEARLY as enjoyable for me. I do feel that the hand whistling IS a talent, but it’s really her personality and comments that really do it for me. She’s hilarious…and so cute! I mean…she’s 75 YEARS OLD! Go Sally!

On a serious note, I KNOW she SHOULDN’T win…but FOR NOW, I’m fine with her still being there. I enjoy watching her and wait to hear what she’ll say next.

OK.  Every time they have a “senior” contestant, already I’m a little bit partial to them because it takes a lot of GUTS to go out there on stage in front of not just the judges…but the audience…and do what they do at their age.  Awesome.

Sally Cohn is a 75-year old retired teacher.  Her talent?  Hand whistling.  I mean, it’s not anything super WOW or PHYSICALLY impressive, but it’s STILL impressive nonetheless.  But what really makes this lady great is her PERSONALITY and CHARACTER.  She’s a sassy lady…and just her whole demeanor is just…AWESOME.

It really made me happy to see her get through…I teared up and everything!

I can’t believe Sharon BUZZED her right in the middle of whistling America the Beautiful! As Stephanie on Full House would say:  “HOW RUDE!”  But Sally’s response to Sharon’s “No” was hilarious – That’s not going to kill my day…it won’t devastate me. Then after she got thru…I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight…I’m buzzed!

LOVE HER!
