At thirty-four, Lawrence Beamen knew that his dream was slipping away. That’s why I like shows like America’s Got Talent. They provide an opportunity for truly talented people to step out of obscurity and into the spotlight where they can share their gifts with the world.
Lawrence not only sang beautifully during his July 7, 2009 audition, he touched everyone’s hearts through his passion, vulnerability and authenticity. Talent is one thing, being able to intimately and emotionally connect with an audience elevates a performance to a much higher level. I suspect that Lawrence will be performing for appreciative audiences for many more years to come.
