This kid has talent!

I apologise if this has already been posted, but check out this 14 year old kid on "Australia's Got Talent"

YouTube - ‪Jack Vidgen - Australia's Got Talent 2011 Audition! - FULL‬‏

Stick with the c**p at the beginning (or fast forward to a minute of so in), he is nothing short of amazing.

He's brilliant right now. But what happens when his voice starts changing?

He's 14... I'm 14... I'm done with puberty. I have a pretty deep voice. Poor kid...

Done at 14? Dang!

I'd happily trade a deep voice for the one that kid has

I have goosebumps right now. That was just amazing.

Now, maybe this kid has puberty ahead of him, but he can sing! Even if the voice breaks he will always have that. Michael Jackson did alright singing-wise even after puberty, I think you'll all agree...

Michael Jackson did well thanks to the hormones his father fed him. Or maybe it's just part of the legend.

As for the kid, he does nothing for me but he's got the pipes without a doubt.

He had his pitchy spots, but that's taken care of with some training. He did cover it well with some vibrato, whether he knew what he was doing or not.

The Beiber hair was entertaining.

He probably didn't know what he was doing/
I think that being so young though, he's a blank canvas for voice coaches and writers. Certainly has massive potential.

But what happens if he stops singing? Then he'll be stuck with that voice.

He could be like Susan Boyle, where we never hear from her again, or most people that won American Idol. Where are they? Or that Asian guy?

Wow! Too bad his voice will change but I'm sure he'll adapt! He's got talent for sure and can go far if that is truly his passion and mission!

What a talent! Hopefully puberty will be good to him.

I still don't understand the sideways hair on kids these days though...and get off my lawn!
