Masked singer Sheldon Riley shines with the cover of Billie Eilish in ‘AGT’: Look


Sheldon Riley does not waste his voice on trifling matters. How to speak, with America has talent judges

During the Tuesday night auditions, the aspiring Sydney, Australia initially played the silent type, before revealing a voice that had Simon Cowell and company in ecstasy.

Acting in an exotic black gown and glittering mask that could have been lifted from Prince’s vault, Riley lit the torch with a dramatic performance of Billie Eilish’s “idontwannabeyouanymore”.

Riley then explained her calm start. She prefers to let her performance speak for itself.

Next, Cowell praises Riley’s mystery and originality. “You have an amazing voice,” Howie Mandel was excited. “And the fact that I don’t know what you look like, and the costume and the drama, to me, that’s what made it great.”

Riley is no mystery to fans of Australian reality TV shows.

The son of an Australian mother and a Filipino father, Riley (real name Sheldon Hernández) accumulated followers during his career in The Voice Australia in 2018, earning a place in the last four. He returned to the series last year as an All-Star and competed for the opportunity to represent Australia at the 64th Eurovision Song Contest.

With three “yess” of AGT Judges, we’ll see more of Riley. Check out the performance below.
