‘America’s Got Talent’ contestant, 13, reminds judges of Justin Bieber

Chase Varnes, a 13-year-old musician from Vancouver Island in the Canadian province of British Columbia, had a frightening meeting with Judge Simon Cowell on Tuesday America has a talent.

Varnes had just started to sing and play the guitar when Cowell, the man who helped Nicole Scherzinger assemble a direction on the British version of The X factor In 2010, arrested him suddenly.

“I hate doing this,” said Cowell, who has actually stopped acts before. “I didn’t like the song; however, I love you. Do you have another song?”

Varnes burst into “Life Goes on” by Ed Sheeran, and it was a success with the public and most judges.

“You know, you remind me of a young Justin Bieber,” Judge Howie Mandel told Varnes, who turned on to the compliment. Like his Canadian compatriots, Varnes took his time to get worse.

J. Sofia Vergara was also complementary.

“I know it’s breathtaking to be on this scene, but I thought it was better the second song,” said Vergara. “Simon always knows how to stop and improve it. I think girls will go crazy for you.”

The third judge, Mel B, was more prudent.

“You were great,” said the old Spice Girl. “You were a diamond in the harsh with so much potential. But I can see your nervousness. You are not yet quite there for me.”

Then Mandel started the vote by giving it a “yes”. While Vergara did the same, Mel B was held.

“I think, give yourself another year, then come back when you are more confident,” she said. “I must say no, I’m sorry.”

But Cowell saved the favorite of the clear public, who only needed one more ally on the panel.

“Sometimes we have people of your age, and I say to myself:” Okay, I will be a little more pleasant because you are young, “started Cowell.” You, I really think you have something … You have everything for you. The public loved you, that’s why you’re going to get three yes. ”

Later, the show scene was overwhelmed with cats – or at least people dressed like them.

An artist from Baltimore who goes through Moshow and is known as “The Cat Rapper” rocked a hat that gave him ears and cat words (“Meow, Meow, Meow”) who did not purr the judges. At all.

While Vergara gave her a “yes” vote, she was the only one. Cowell noted that “children will love this song”.

The next to walk on the stage was also feline oriented. And none of the members, all dressed in cats, would speak.

It was too much for Mel B, who asked: “Is it a kind of joke?”

But it was real. The group of a dozen people, called loco pop familia, made a choreographed routine which even left Mel B impressed, but not enough to win his support.

“You can all dance really,” she said, “but. You are so boring! The whole thing is boring. The song is boring. The way you disguised yourself in cats is not my thing.”

Cowell did not agree with all my heart and called the “genius” act. He also gave them the third vote they needed to move forward.

Hearing the good news, the candidates fell on the ground and crawled the scene.
