Standing before four judges and a crowd of hundreds is no easy task, especially for a 15-year-old. But this young performer conquers his nerves and leaves the entire room in awe.
Auditioning for The X Factor, one of the most prestigious singing competitions in the world, is a challenge that only the bold take on. It’s even more daunting when you’ve never sung for more than a small group of close family and friends.
However, fear didn’t stand a chance against Joel Goncalves. Not only did he deliver an incredible first public performance, but his voice also left both the judges and audience completely mesmerized.
What the judges—Ronan Keating, Guy Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, and Mel B—didn’t realize before he started singing was that they were about to hear an uncanny resemblance to the legendary Michael Jackson.
Choosing Michael Jackson’s The Girl Is Mine turned out to be the best decision Joel could have made. His breathtaking voice took everyone by surprise, proving that he was born for the stage.
