Ray Jessel - 84-yr-old Surprise Hit on America's Got Talent

Tweet

This is one of the best performances I've ever seen. Ray Jessel is a diminutive little man who writes his own songs and performed one of them before the judges of America's got Talent. Ray presented himself as a fun-loving, funny and personable man, but no one was expecting the song he wrote. People tend to have set expectations of someone who is older, and the older they are, the lower people's expectations tend to be. We think stodgy, locked in the past, no contemporary thinking, old-fashioned. Well, Ray here proved that to be one of the biggest errors of judgment there could ever be. Fair warning, though. If you're someone who is "pure as the driven snow", you may be offended at his song's "punchline". But, if you'll let yourself expect the unexpected, I'm sure you'll love this!
