Do we have any Refupeas who could end up on America's Got Talent(or Britain, or any other show)? I'm specifically asking as I watch AGT because I wondered if we would ever get a chance to vote for our own.  |

Not a performing talent. Well, not since elocution went out of fashion over a hundred years ago. I don't think AGT would be all entertained by my dd's wedding dress.  My husband does though. He's an extremely talented songwriter and performer. I've tried for years to get him to try out, but he doesn't think he's good enough.  |

No, not me or my dh. But my dd Maggie does! See this thread!It's interesting because we wonder where she gets it from. My dh and were both adopted as babies and only recently he found out that his birth mother was a vaudeville performer back in the 30's & 40's. So that's where she got it from! |

It depends what one defines as talent. Some of the "talent" we have on BGT makes you go WTF!! others make you go "WOW! Talent to me is something that is way and above what one expects of someone to do at such a young age for example,what imagination to think of that, kind of reaction.
I also don't think that talent it totally confined to performance.
Do I have talent.....no I don't think so. I can play the piano but no different or better than millions of others on this planet. I can knit, again so can millions of others and I can sew but again so can millions of others. I'm not a very good cook so I think that someone who can use and cook various ingredients in an innovative way and produce a delicious dish is a talented cook.
So we come back to what exactly is "talent"

No performing talent. I have always wished I could sing. I do work with someone that was on American Idol and is auditioning again at their invitation.

Well, I've been told that I have good voice, and I sing and play all the time with a variety of folks at informal music jams, but the level of talent on BGT and Idol and the Voice is awesome, and far beyond what I possess. Some incredibly talented people on them who have the ability to not only sing, but to perform! I would be way too nervous for that type of thing, even if I had the vocal chops to carry it off! Plus I'm too old....
Now my 19 yo ds does have the ability. He sings and is am amazing self-taught guitar picker, and hasn't got a nervous bone in his body. He'll get up in front of anybody to pick and sing and always does a great job, he has an ear and can play anything he puts his mind to. But he's not interested in making a career of it. Branson is close, and he has the potential to find a place on a show up there, but he is realistic about "making the big time" and so just does music for his own enjoyment.
But it would be fun to see and root for an RPea or their kin on one of the talent shows!

I wish I was musical but that particular gene passed me by, unfortunately. Other family members can sing and play instruments but I stick to singing nursery rhymes to the grandkids or warbling when on my own.
