Thank you Brian Justin Crum for giving me the dose of Queen I have been looking for all weekend. You sang my favorite song last night and you wowed us all.
There are America's Got Talent performances that get golden buzzers and make you laugh and are very, very good. And then there's Brian Justin Crum.
The 28-year-old from San Diego wants to be a singer, but man-oh-man, he already is one. Crum performed a cover of Queen's classic, Somebody To Love, a bold choice considering that there have been many, many covers of this song (including one in the first season of Glee). But forget about all of them. They have nothing on Crum, who had the audience and the judges on their feet before he even finished singing. All of the judges. Even
Simon Cowell . Even if he looked a little curmudgeonly while he did it. – usatoday.com
What are your thoughts? Another YouTube video below compiled some of Brian's less formal shots and gave us a little of his history. I'd turn the sound off for it and just read the text below.
Brian Justin Crum made a huge impact on the competition with his amazing performance of Queen‘s “Somebody to Love” for his audition on America’s Got Talent!
The singer got a standing ovation for his audition from all four of the judges and the audience absolutely loved it.
You might recognize Brian from his work in Broadway shows such as Next to Normal and Wicked, as well as appearing in the Los Angeles based series For the Record alongside stars like Rumer Willis.
“My boo is killing it!!!” Rumer tweeted after the audition aired. – youtube.com
Does Brian have it ? Will he go all the way?
