Karaoke singer and Chicago-based comedian Andy Rowell is on a mission to change the negativity of karaoke singing in competitions. So he took his talents to America’s Got Talent.
Now Simon Cowell is infamous for hating karaoke singing, but Andy was able to win him over with his rendition of The Champs song “Tequila”.
How did the judges rank the performance?
Simon: “I’d like to hear the whole album actually. It was so stupid I loved it.”
Julianne: “I have props to you because I feel like it’s actually hard to be doing that, to get that kind of reaction. So I actually think it’s brilliant. Well done.”
Gabrielle: “It’s so wrong it’s right. I want to see what the next song is.”
Howie: “Song choice is always important on this. Not only the song choice but your exuberance and your excitement — I love you.”
In the words of Simon Cowell, “that was brilliant.”
