America’s Got Talent

America’s Got Talent is a televised American talent show competition that is part of the global Got Talent franchise. 

AGT was created by Simon Cowell, an English entrepreneur, critic, television producer, talent manager, businessman, A&R executive, and talent show judge.

In 2008, The Daily Telegraph ranked Simon 6th in their list of the “100 most powerful people in British culture.” In 2004 and 2010, Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Andrew appeared in season seven of America’s Got Talent, which premiered on May 14, 2012.

He won all three judges easily, with Howard Stern saying:

“You got up here and blew the roof off the joint, good for you!”

During an interview, Andrew said:

”Out of all of the judges, I was scared of Howard, the most.”

Andrew also said that he had never sung in front of anyone. Furthermore, he was emotionally moved by the positive reaction from the crowd as well as his own performance.

After he forgot the lyrics to the opera piece he was singing and stopped singing, De Leon was eliminated during the Vegas Round.

He was brought back by Howie Mandel for the Wild Card Show. 

His Quarterfinals performance consisted of singing “Unbreak My Heart” in a Spanish operatic version. Andrew received sufficient votes to be sent to the Semifinals.

His Semifinals performance consisted of singing “Ave Maria.” Unfortunately, De Leon did not receive sufficient votes to be sent to the Finals.
