America's Got Talent....Tallan "T-Man" Latz (Page 3 of 4)

It's probably all for the best.

These "fifteen minutes of fame" TV shows are not the way to go for somebody who is serious about their music. Tallan's age, rather than his ability, was probably what got him to Vegas. Better to grow into a music career than grow out of one.
I know the kid will be hurting, but if he is truly inspired by Joe, then he will understand that hard work is the way to do it.
He's certainly got talent, and his will be a name to keep an eye out for in the future.

Stick at it Tallan! May the Blues Gods smile on you.

Hey Everyone,

Carl yesterday told me it would be "jaw dropping", but I honestly thought he meant Tallan performed and did a fantastic job. However, I knew he didn't make it through Vegas. Well, I can see now what Carl meant about it being "jaw dropping", because that's exactly what happened to me when I saw and heard what they did!

Today, Tallan is appearing on WKLH radio in Milwaukee as he has before. The DJ's have been reading E-mails this morning that they received concerning what happened to Tallan and it is exactly what you and I are saying. How could they do this?

I must say though, when I saw Tallan two weeks ago, he was still the same upbeat young man that we've all gotten to know and love. He thrilled the crowd that gathered at the bandshell in Oconomowoc and I think this picture of him speaks volumes:

Yes, the T-Man is still flying high!

I didn't watch the whole show, just the end where they were sending his group of contestants off and he said he was just gonna keep playing his guitar (he handled that moment well).  My question is, is it possible he DID have a chance to perform there, and it just wasn't chosen to be aired?  Because I'm sure they don't have time to air every performance, right?  Because sending him to Vegas and then not giving him another chance to perform just makes no sense, unless there's more to the story we're not hearing.

Regardless, the boy is only 9... he has lots of time to make his mark... and the mark he's made so far, both on that show and elsewhere, ain't too shabby!

When the show first started they had short shots of different acts and Tallan was scanned with this group "must continue" or something like that.....to have him sent home with so many others was plain wrong, I hope that the network at least put them up for the night and gave them a nice meal....you fly all these people here just to crush their dreams in an airport hanger is awfull....hang in there Tallan, you will be shown on TV in a few short years from now, and them so called "judges" will look foolish for missing out on an opportunity to help send you to stardom

A big fan in California,

George is coming in 2 days, the house is a wreck..but I can't put this to rest!! The AGT forum is buzzing with people who feel like we do. There is talk that the group sent home may actually be called back after the group is thinned. I think T and Ciarra,the 8y/o singer from Hawaii, who sang "At Last", and was also cut, should get together and make a song about it!!   Now...where is my broom...to clean not ride.....       Cathy

I've only just caught up on what happened and I just want to say that Tallan will be a big star one day with or without AGT.

Put it down to experience T-Man. The commercial music industry can be a fickle beast. Stick to what you're doing, be true to yourself, work hard, play hard and we'll be seeing you at the Royal Albert Hall one day too.

Now that would be something. Mind you, we'll all (well some of us) be in our dotage by then. But we'll be saying
"I remember when ........" 

You don't need it, but good luck, Tallan. We know that you'll make it to the big time in the not too distant future and at least everyone in the US now knows who you are, so it should open many more doors for you. Make sure you sign up to Joe's record label. He'll look after you.

An E-mail sent by Carl Latz to some of Tallan's supporters; just recevied this tonight around 5:30 PM. Thought I'd post it here too, to thank the people that have supported Tallan from Joe's forum:

"Tallan and I would like to Thank everyone for all of the support and love that you've sent to Tallan and our family.  AGT is just that a show and it was their decision to let Tallan go.  Tallan and I were shocked as I'm sure many of you were when you seen last nights show. 

This is Tallan's attitude towards what happened, on the plane ride home after being eliminated, Tallan asked me what I was thinking about.  I said to him "I'm wondering what happened to have them send you home like this?"  He stop playing his DS and looked up at me and said, "Dad, don't fret it, its over and now its time to move on."  That's typical Tallan, get knocked down, get back up and brush off the dust and start looking at the next thing.

So I guess what I'm saying to all of you is that Tallan was not really phased by this outcome, sure he was disappointed but like he said in his parting statement, "I'm going to keep playing my guitar, and following my heart."  His journey is far from over and this was only a speed bump in the big picture.

So again THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts and we appreciate your support.  Please spread the word about Tallan and he'll work at making you all proud. 

Hope to meet everyone out on the road someday.

Have a GREAT one and take care.
Peace!
Tallan and Carl"

I think this speaks volumes of what kind of young man Tallan is.
