Australia’s Jack Vidgen is In It To Win It!

In January of this year I introduced Jack Vidgen on this site for the first time.  He not only had captured my attention with his great vocals but he captivated me with his performance prowess and sincere interpretation of the songs he sang.

Much has happened for Jack since his first article appeared here.  After auditioning for Australia’s Got Talent, he was awarded an opportunity to perform on the show. Not only did Jack perform but he literally blew everyone away with his powerful performance of Whitney Houston’s song “I have Nothing”.

It seemed a bit ironic, that this boy who had everything to offer vocally, was singing these lyrics. When in fact the lyrics should have rung out; “I Who Have Something”! Something to prove to the world!  Jack did so well with this audition performance that he even merited a kiss from one of the judges.   However,  not quite from the one he may have expected it from.

“I like the look on people’s faces when I sing. It’s just the best feeling to stand up there in front of an audience.” Jack Vidgen

By now, I imagine you have seen this audition performance, but for those of you who may have been sleeping under a rock the last couple of weeks, here it is once more in its entirety.  This video has actually had more than 526,000 views to date, but when you add up all the views of his different videos for this performance he now has surpassed 1.5 Million views. Maybe this article will push it to 1.6 Million. Enjoy it again!

When I first saw Anthony Gargiula I was amazed at his prowess in performing  and his unprecedented talent for not only entertaining but lighting up the entire stage with his character and charm.

He galloped onto the stage of Ellen Degeneres and into America’s heart and of course we followed him to the American Idol show where he interviewed the idol contestants for that year which included David Archuleta and David Cook.  Anthony continued to shine at many places after that doing shows and singing the National Anthem at ball parks and his most recent appearance at the Nascar Sylvania 300.

I was honored to meet Anthony face to face on Skype this past year and I have to tell you that this young man is not only charming and personable, but way ahead of his years in communicating his thoughts and conducting himself like a professional who had been doing this all his life.
