Laugh if you want, but I like to watch the you tube vids of the "good/great" talent from the various talent shows on the tube these days. You know the ones, x-factor, got talent, and the voice... and each of those has the American, Britton, Aussie.. plus versions.

I really like the singers that look like they can't, then the judges eat crow, and of course, comedians, magicians, ventriloquists, and the like, but... mostly those few singers each season that really are amazing.

Each show has their judges, some I know, others have been a mystery. Weirdos... out there, or I just didn't have a clue. One of them... turned out to be... Boy George. The other... which I never thought was weird, just wondered why all the other judges seemed so in awe... turned out to be...

SIR Tom Jones... yup... that Tom Jones. The one my mom drooled over. Net worth these days?
300 million bucks... and the old guy can still sing.

When I'm bored, I look up others. some are really famous in their countries, and can sing.

Your favorite sleeper auditions?

Ol' Tom still has it goin' on, doesn't he? Great clip, thanks for sharing! I don't watch enough of these shows to have one that sticks in my mind, but The Voice is one that I usually check in on. Would just like to see one of those winners break out BIG like Carrie Underwood or one of the others that started out on shows like that (Kelly Clarkson?).

Two Britain's Got Talent sleeper auditions.
I especially like the way the snotty male judge gets owned here. Sammi Brooks...

This gal doesn't look like a superstar... but ended up winning and becoming one.
Sam Bailey

She sings with one of the judges later in the year, which is how I found out the judge had pipes!
I also love the HUGE change in Sam Bailey... hair and make up makes a big difference.
