look you do have a great incredible voice having said that there is a difference in somebody's singing on the subway to somebody singing on the stage of America's Got Talent there is that gap that you have to bridge I just don't think you're quite there if you understand what I mean you know what's ironic here Mike I was listening to something that now was playing during the break which was a piece of auto-tuned junk and this is the real deal [Applause] [Music] [Music] I graduated from school and said I'm dancing my mom kicked me out of the house why I don't know how to spoken to her since

to work every week you know it took its toll in there so I was parents account at 13 years old I never really gelled with any of the families or any of the people that I got with and so it was easier for me to just shut myself away and just put my brain into things I love to do I have always sung I don't think there's anything else in my life that I do with such you know such passion this
