Miguel Dakota sings 'Gimme Shelter' on America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12 (VIDEO)
Miguel Dakota sang 'Gimme Shelter' on the America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12.
I have no idea what on Earth Miguel was thinking with this. I've liked Miguel in the past, but I'm not sure he could have picked a worse song to sing at this stage in the competition (or at any stage of the competition, for that matter). His voice gets swallowed alive by the band and the backup singers, resulting in the night's one truly disappointing performance. I just didn't get this at all.
Heidi feels like Miguel's voice got lost in the song. "I prefer you on the stage with your guitar, where I can hear you clearly." She says she just didn't love it that much. Mel B, however, disagrees. She says he's a true star, and that he's capable of everything. Howard says he's rooting for Miguel, but felt this was too big a song. He says he found himself missing Mick Jagger the entire time. Much like Mel B, Howie disagrees with the dissenters, saying Miguel has the potential to be the biggest star this show has ever had. He says the little girls are going to vote their butts off for him, and I don't doubt that one bit, actually. Especially since he got to close the show. But I'd be super disappointed if he got through over some of the other acts that slayed it tonight. Then again, Miguel IS a talented guy, and this may have just been a case of a good singer picking the wrong song.
But what do you think of Miguel Dakota?
