Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Restaurant hostess Alicia Michilli introduces herself and performs "I'd Rather Go Blind" on America's Got Talent.
  2. 5:31Jahméne Douglas follows his nervous introduction with a performance of "At Last."
  3. 12:08After describing his dream concert staging, Jason Brock sings Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind."
  4. 16:29Janice Robinson performs her own dance hit, "Dreamer," for The X Factor panel.

Robbie Williams knows the song, and he wants its singer to know what it meant to him. "Your voice and your song has been a major part to the soundtrack of my life," he tells Janice Robinson after she performs "Dreamer" on The X Factor.

That encounter is among the performances in Talent Recap's new compilation, which has drawn about 155,000 views in 11 hours, far ahead of the clips channel's usual start for regular videos. This is a collection of older America's Got Talent and British and American X Factor appearances, not a new round of auditions.

The upload's title, "Simon Took One Look and Said NO…Then They Sang Like LEGENDS," sells a story of overturned expectations. The individual performances offer something more specific: restaurant hostess Alicia Michilli singing "I'd Rather Go Blind," supermarket worker Jahméne Douglas tackling "At Last," and Jason Brock arriving with an elaborate vision for his dream concert before singing Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind."

Robinson supplies a different kind of surprise. She isn't borrowing a familiar hit to introduce herself: she's the songwriter performing her own. "Dreamer" turns the arena and judging panel into an impromptu dance party.

Another Talent Recap collection built around unexpected voices, "They Looked Like ORDINARY PEOPLE…Then Sang Like ELVIS, TINA And SINATRA," has also passed a million views. That selection includes Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., Jack Pack and Courtney Hadwin, drawing from the same archive of talent-show introductions worth revisiting.
