Filipinos Charlie and Madonna shine in Britain’s Got Talent

CHARLIE Green, a 10-year old half-Filipino, and club singer Madonna Decena are singing their way to the next round of Britain?s Got Talent.

It?s a talent search created by American Idol judge Simon Cowell who also acts as judge in the show, alongside journalist Piers Morgan and actress Amanda Holdren.

During the program?s second week of live auditions in Birmingham, Charlie gave a spirited rendition of Frank Sinatra?s 1966 hit record Summer Wind.

He was cool and composed throughout the entire performance, even doing some old-fashioned jazz scatting and finger snapping. After he sang, the audience gave Charlie a standing ovation and chanted his name for a few seconds.

Charlie is the second Filipino to make waves in the talent search. First was the 32-year old single mom and club singer Madonna Decena, who auditioned in Manchester, and wowed the judges with her powerful rendition of I Will Always Love You.

Piers Morgan, who called Charlie, the boy ?Old Charlie,? was entertained with both his singing and dancing. Amanda went as far as giving a bold forecast: ?I predict, you could win in this show.?

Even the panel?s harshest critic, American Idol judge Simon Cowell, had nothing but praises. He said, ?Charlie, I think you?re a little star! I really, really like you!? In the end, Charlie got three ?YES? votes from the judges, and is now set to move on to the next round of competition.

Charlie?s mom is a Filipina Cecilia Sumargo -- who hails from Dumajug, Cebu and his dad is British dad. Auditions for Britain?s Got Talent are currently ongoing and will air locally very soon.
