This is a show similar to &#8220;Eurovision.&#8221;\u00a0 NBC had this great after-show virtual red carpet for those of us in the press. Unfortunately, between technical problems, background noise, and Michael Bolton being a very quiet speaker, we weren&#8217;t able to hear or understand him, nor could we get a good video! Fortunately, it was announced during this week&#8217;s show that Michael had been voted to continue in the next round, so NBC was able to get us this short Zoom interview with him to make up for last week. I&#8217;m so grateful and happy!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-24830-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bolton032822.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bolton032822.mp4\">https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/bolton032822.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Enjoy this nice CLEAR video!
