It was less than a month ago that Australia was introduced to a blonde 14-year-old boy who made headlines around the country after performing Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” on Australia’s Got Talent. Judges Kyle Sandilands, Dannii Minogue and Brian McFadden put Jack Vidgen straight through to the semi finals after his incredible audition performance earned him a standing ovation and a kiss from Brian on the cheek. Last night the semis commenced on AGT, and the show saved their wonder boy for last, with Jack singing a rendition of the Dreamgirls hit “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” which was performed by Jennifer Hudson in the movie. The judges couldn’t stop praising him, with Kyle adding, “You’ve made me believe in reincarnation, because you have a black woman inside you.” Watch Jack and his unstoppable voice now — we can’t wait to see how he tops this!
