ATA member Cameo Rascale nails it at the Grand Final of Australia’s Got Talent 2009

The Capener family acrobatic troupe, performing as Cameo Rascale nails another great performance at the Grand Final of Australia’s Got Talent 2009.  Their performance was sharp and crisp and demonstrated a multitude of skills and techniques that mesmerized the audience and judges.  I have watched all their shows in this AGT series and each time they rotated their star showing, in the end all 4 are equally as good and each with their own specialty skill sets.  They have flexibility, balance, strength, timing, showmanship, flair, poise and great co-ordination and rhythm – all great attributes for taekwondo.

Red Symons said "It is a privilege to see the skills are not lost and are being passed down from the parents down to the children".  Tom Burlinson thought they were like the Incredibles (superhero family) and that they that did a wonderful performance despite the injury to Steve (the father and anchor of the troupe) before the show.  Danii Minogue chipped in commenting what an amazing performance and great to see tricks that was nail biting and thought the acting and presentation was fantastic.  Grant Denyer, the host of the show thought the family did a dynamic job.  The ending of the act was exciting and nail biting when Gayle (all curled up) slid down Steve (standing up) but stopped just short of hitting the floor.

I think the family showed great determination and I know they spent hours and hours in practice honing their skills and their act to top their last act.  Said Steve "I thought we would have great difficulty to top the semi-final act, but we were glad this one came off".  Nicole recently did her grading 10 days previously and she performed her bend back flexibility after the grading to the delight of the members at the grading.

There were 8 acts in this Grand Final and if you enjoy their act, I encourage you to vote for them by calling the following number 1902 55 33 33 or SMS "Cameo" on 199 77 77 2.  Either method will do.  Make sure you do it before the deadline of 12 noon on Saturday 18th April 2009.  The result will be broadcast on Wednesday 22nd April – don’t miss it!  Just to prove to you how good they are, here is a link to their act.  Click here and have another look-see.

    How did Cameo Rascale fare on the final?

    I don’t watch the show, so I’m not sure – all I know is that the winner was between two singing boys.

    It would appear that “talent” in demand from almost any country is something vocal. The Brits appear to favour “surprise” packages. ie. Not too appealing appearance coupled with good voice = amazingly great voice.

    Unfortunately Cameo Rascale was eliminated early on grand final night – they are placed 7th. Many thanks to ALL who have voted in, but not quite enough to beat the 2 singing boys.
