WATCH: Andrew De Leon’s Singing Debut Shocks America’s Got Talent Judges

VIDEO

(Daily Motion)

Andrew De Leon made his singing debut on Tuesday’s “American’s Got Talent” – and his voice was quite unexpected.

The 19-year-old makeup artist, a self-professed goth, revealed he had never sung for anyone before, not even his parents.

This is a must-see.

    It is moments like this that make this show special. That was a very moving moment. It is amazing that he got the nerve to do what he he did. You could feel his nerves and insecurity. I love the may his parents were so surprised. That in its self is a great moment. This just changed this young guys life. I hope for the better. Cold Plays Fix You was perfect for that moment.

  • Jenniferlittle

    What a amazing audition, they saved the best for last! I haven’t stopped thinking about this performance for 2 hours and have told everyone I can in the past 2 hours! Amazing, and astonishing without sounding too cheesy!! It show’s that you should get to know a person before you judge, and that we all have a purpose and a reason to be here. Bravo Andrew!!

  • Enigma

    Can anyone tell me that the name of the song he sang is? I have heard it, but for the life of me I can’t remember the name of it.

  • Bnward1988

    AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!!! let’s Fb this! He represented soooo many people who have struggled with not being accepted and yet want to be appreciated. What a wonderful moment.

  • Enigma

    I have to also say I was extremely surprised by his performance. I honsetly thought he was going to do some headbanging, loud rock music crap, hehehehe. When I heard the music, I thought, “Are you kidding me, he’s going to sing that song?’ I was awaiting the first “X” from Howard Stern! Lol Then to my surprise, He sang beautifully, I had goosebumps. I can’t wait to hear him again!

  • Ali_farmer_07

    He took my breath away! I wanted to hug him he looked so nervous! He was so amazing and I can’t wait to see him perform again! He is incredible and so talented! His parents must be so proud! His story is inspiring and so is his voice, I love him!

  • Vortextempest

    The song is O Mio Babbino Caro. I know it from hearing Sarah Brightman sing it.

  • Desert Rose

    O mio babbino caro”, from Puccini’s opera ‘Gianni Schicchi’

  • Vortextempest

    Not only does he sing beautiful, he is beautiful; what a gorgeous face.

  • geo70454

    The most amazing performance on national television I have ever seen

  • Enigma

    Thank you so much Desert Rose, I could not remember the name to save my life, but love this song. He did it justice.

  • Vortextempest

    Youre welcome.

  • Gsproule8

    AMAZINGLY AWESOME

  • Enigma

    Thank you Vortextempest, I don’t know how I missed your response.

  • meigan

    i was soo proud watching Andrew! he’s one of my good friends and it takes alot of guts to go out in front of a crowd like that especially when its your first performance EVER, i can’t wait to see his performance in Las Vegas.

  • Ric

    wow, surprised that everyone would feel it would be possible to be that great and 20ish but your parents never heard you sing. Are you kidding me or am I the only one that thinks this is odd? What parents wouldnt be saying at parties sing again, or no plays at school,but practiced enough to sing on national tv, but no one heard you. Or did he just wake up go to the auditions and have his family there to hear him for the first time EVER. Wow that is amazing isnt it?

  • Firefoxblizzard

    Do u think his story might be fake? No hating here of course, but I’m always skeptically.

  • Jojererich

    WOW what a beautiful thing.

  • Tasha

    I love the gothic look I think it’s beautiful………what a awesome voice

  • http://twitter.com/ironduck Addie/Annie D

    Definitely look forward to seeing him perform later in the show.

    Such a surprise and just shows that people shouldn’t judge from appearances.

    Also, what’s the song that plays in the beginning of the video?

  • Thaigem25

    I just cried when I heard him sang. He has nothing to hide anymore and now he his being accepted by many fans

  • XYZ

    OMG!!! I can’t believe it. He is far more awesome.. That’s what we all called TALENT. I hope he gets to the top & win.

  • Anonymous

    beautiful voice, best of luck for this guy :)

  • Aziram Ma

    It reminded me of Farinelli… it made me cry

  • Aziram Ma

    I ment to say he reminded me of Farinelli

  • Thuss

    An “in your face” to all the judgemental people. Noone should be surprised that he can sing in the first place! This made me cry, he finally got some respect in life, just to bad he had to wait 20y. Beautiful voice!!!

    Awww. Love this. HE is so damn talented *wipes away tear*

  • http://profiles.google.com/tonycerdais Tony Cerda

    People like him and moments like these – are when I am reminded with a sledge hammer to the head… not to judge a book by it’s cover. He was amazing! What a wonderful surprise!

  • http://profiles.google.com/tonycerdais Tony Cerda

    I have to admit I was being judgmental by just looking at him and boy what a wonderful surprise! I love moments like these!

  • http://twitter.com/VirtualUnwind VirtualUnwind™

    Incredible find..

  • Amanda Winters

    So beautiful in every way!!!!!

  • John C.M.

    You know, I’m not a fan of singers of any type on the show, but this audition completely blew me away. I’m not sure if I’d ever vote it to win the entire show, but I definitely see top 4 and a long lasting career for this young man. Amazing, even without the story, which is what the show and term TALENT really is about.

  • alexstorm

    Blew me away!!! Love AGT!!!

  • Bcournoyer

    Maybe it’s just me…but he is really pretty!

  • Donalddarlene

    I agreed this seems odd, noone heard him practicing in his room or anywhere else. He is very good but it takes practice

  • GaPeach

    I almost didn’t watch the video. He is wonderful and he is gorgeous. Those blue eyes!!!!

    But I have one question and I don’t mean to belittle his wonderful performance – but I wonder why a very talented young man would want to sound like a woman?

  • Jennifer

    While there is NO DOUBT that it was a wonderful performance and he is a true talent; I don’t believe his “never having performed in front of anyone story”. He is very comfortable on that stage and carries himself like a seasoned performer. I guess it makes for a better story, but there are videos of him on YouTube where it’s obvious someone (not something, like a tripod) is holding the camera.

    Nice.

    I’m thinking those blue eyes are fake . . . He’s likely wearing contacts.

  • Anonymous

    It is amazing the strength of the human spirit. To think of all this guy has had to endure from the ridicule, to the isolation to feeling alone and then to have the strenght to stand up in front of all those people and let them see who he truly is – I for one applaued him. I am a fan and I hope others learn from this amazing guy!!

  • Peppe Sinclair

    tsss tsss whats this guy got some weird eyes or somptin. tss. what is he like cat? or somtin?

  • Linkodell

    Me and him are alike..

  • Cara

    yes… I would not be surprised if his back story turns out to be not exactly true – just doesn’t hang together as Jennifer, below, points out. And too many weird similarities to Jonathan Antoine on Britain’s Got Talent.

  • Anonymous

    Andrew De Leon did a great job singing and he has a wonderful voice, which surprised me he has never sung for anyone. Americas Got Talent is one of my favorite shows I enjoy during primetime. Now I can watch all my favorite primetime show commercial free. I’ve been able to cut out all the manually fast forwarding commercials using the Auto Hop feature. All the networks can still advertise their commercials, Dish’s only making it easier by eliminating the need to manually fast forward commercials. I just have to press play and watch my shows once I confirm whether I want to skip commercials or not. One of my coworkers at Dish showed me how Auto Hop worked, and how I can stay focused on my shows and not commercials. This takes the hassle of having to replace the remote batteries as often.

  • diatribesandovations

    Don’t judge this book by his cover! http://wp.me/p1se8R-2UN Here’s hoping he goes far in the competition!

  • Crystal

    I agree, even him dressing up gothic is a staged to shock people that much more…. he has awesome talent but I don’t believe his whole “I am not good at anything” act.

  • Phishead12

    bullshit

  • Pennlane16

    Amazing young man! May he inspire all those who feel like they don’t fit into this vanilla world! You truly are special!

  • Dudet

    He’s real if any of you are skeptical

  • gia

    Why is he wearing a wig??

  • Anonymous

    Why don’t CBS, FOX, and NBC exec want consumers to enjoy commercial-free TV? It’s what we want! I’m a customer and employee of Dish, and I think AutoHop is great because you can easily watch commercial-free TV. A well known consumer advocacy group, Public Knowledge, agrees that people should have the right to control how they watch TV. They’re taking a stand for consumers by creating a petition that tells CBS, FOX, and NBC media to keep their hands out of your living room and DVR. Sign their petition to keep control of how you watch TV http://bit.ly/KFdn1Q

I,know your gona win,because you have the talent that the world needs.and,the humbleness we all need.i wish you the best. you have my vote.God bless you Andrew.

  • Janessagillette

    foreal omg like nobody new that thanxx for telling use slow 1

  • Donhorner

    The talent is the voice, not whether or not he remembered all the words due to nervousness. Look back at Austin and try to figure out why someone who lets people kick him in the balls has more talent than Andrew.

  • Gloria Byron

    i think andrew is very talented ..love his voice ..but his eyes disturb me somewhat ..i cant stop looking at them …are they fake and i think i saw his mother in the audience and caught a glimpse of the same strange color of eyes so is it possible they are real and not assuming they are fake ..i dont know …if they are fake why would he wear the contacts all the time …mmmm room for thought

  • Belle Larue

    His vocal range is classified as countertenor. There are very successful countertenors singing today–Google it. From the past, Art Garfunkel fits into this category. Do you have a choice about your voice range?

  • I lean on GOD

    May God bless and guide Anthony as he goes his talented way to move the hearts of the people. For I too was rejected in my youth and all I needed to do was take that first step asthis courageous young man has done here! I pray for you dear Anthony, as I wipe the tears from my eyes. My name is Eileen,and I lean on GOD.

  • I lean on GOD

    May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold, may yyou never make your bed out in the cold. I love you as a grandmother would, dear Anthony DeLeon.
