Age is no barrier to delivering chills. Teenage Americaâs Got Talent contestant Jeffrey Li did just that with an impressive performance of âYou Raise Me Up,â made famous by Josh Groban.
The 13-year-od Toronto native auditioned with a challenging song which, in his own words, helped him when he felt low and lonely. There was nothing down about it. Li hit all the high notes and earned high praises from the judges.
Early on, the youngster admitted to nerves. When judge Heidi Klum asked what heâd do if he won the million dollar prize, he confessed: âIâm the only child. So Iâd love a companion. I guess, a dog.â
Cowell upped the ante. âIf you do well,â he said, âIâm going to buy you a dog.â Li scored a âyesâ from each judge and Cowell can go shopping for a pooch.
