Unrecognisable Australian star Sheldon Riley wows American Idol judges

Australian singer Sheldon Riley made a surprising appearance on US TV on Monday evening when he auditioned for American Idol.

Riley first rose to fame when he auditioned for The X Factor back in 2016, before going on to also make appearances on The Voice Australia and America’s Got Talent.

He also represented Australia in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest in Italy.

This kid really wants to be a superstar

It is quite ridiculous that someone that has been on America’s Got Talent, The Voice Australia and even represented Australia at Eurovision can then compete on American Idol, when he’s not even American? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

He is desperate for another 15 mins of fame. If the other 3 platforms weren’t enough, then this sure isn’t going to change things.
