36-year-old nervous singer Wesley Plumber does not look like your typical America’s Got Talent performer, but he had a little surprise up his sleeve which had the crowd up on their feet and cheering by the end. In the recently screened performance, which you can see below, Wesley began singing ABBA’s “Take A Chance On Me”, but after a bum note he quickly got rejected by the judges.
However, every story needs a villain and in this case it was old man Howie, who cantankerously declared that “I’ve got to be honest with you. This is great for a party gag. For a party I’d hire you, but it’s not for this show. What could you do next? you couldn’t surprise us.” The audience were chanting for a yes vote at this point, but Howie came down with a hard no vote, which got him boos from the audience and even the disapproval of host Terry Crews. And when you’ve disappointed living legend Terry Crews you know you’re definitely the bad guy.
