Remember the little girl who won the talent show, “America’s Got Talent?” Bianca Ryan? You know, the one that made Brandi stand up with her mouth hanging down?

Apparently she snuck an album out last fall when we weren’t watching and she has her own web site. I have to admit, until recently, if it wasn’t on iTunes I wasn’t paying much attention to new releases.

The album is a little too overproduced. The songs are all standards. But anyone who can listen to her version of The Rose and not have their heart torn out needs to simply shoot themselves, they’re already dead. I think if she doesn’t self destruct she’ll be bigger than any female singer out there today because she’s better than just about anyone I’ve ever heard in my 45 years on this planet.

I have to admit it feels weird saying that about a singer this young and I pray that she goes toward Rock vs AC or Country, but DAYUM. She’s got some serious pipes.
