What AGT didn't tell you about Sheldon Riley | America's Got Talent 2020 Season 15
Sheldon Hernandez is a 21-year-old singer who is currently competing on season 15 of America’s Got Talent. Performing under the stage name Sheldon Riley, the Australian born singer first caught the attention of Got Talent fans with his audition of “I don’t want to be you anymore” by Billi Eilish.
The son of an Australian mother and a Filipino father, Sheldon has always had a passion for singing and stagecraft. 'When I was a little boy I wanted to be a dancer. I was singing, dancing around. I wanted to be on stage, and I didn't really 'get' sports.
Sheldon first appeared on the world stage in 2016 when he auditioned for The X factor Australia at the age of 17. Later he appeared on season 7 and 8 of The Voice: Australia. He recently auditions for season 15 of America's Got Talent and has advanced to the Judge Cuts Round.

It is still a mystery why he has not won the voice or any singing show he has been on. He is unique and has a voice you can recognize on the first note. That's what makes someone a star in my book.
I have been a fan of his for a long long time there’s something about him .he is special...I hope I’m around to see him win

I fell in love with Sheldon's voice and sense of style almost immediately and want to hear and see more of him.I am 66yrs old and loved all his performances.
Now it's 2022 and he made it to Eurovision. Nice to know some dreams do come true! Sheldon is going to be a star.
Absolutely America can take this boy to places I think he's never been I think to the top
I do think he has what it takes to win he's amazing. I'm stunned that he didn't win in Australia. I've been following him for quite some time and I'm so glad to see him on America's got Talent. This young man is loaded with talent and he deserves to be here, and to win!

ποο καλα στη eurovision για εμενα ηταν slayyy και με κερδισε αλλα unfortunately team australia got robbed απο το κοινο στις βαθμολογιες.I Hope he will become a star one day ! He has the talent!
Sheldon stupifies, magically attracts, provokes, polarizes,... etc... To put it all in a nutshell, he’s an ingenious virtuoso blessed with an infinite passion and love for music. He‘s got it all! ❤️
The man is a great singing talent, and a true showman. He has the showmanship of Freddie Mercury, I hope that achieves the same level of greatness and fame.
HELL YEAH!! Sheldon has an amazing voice. Give Sheldon the chance he so deserves. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sheldon should be on top of the world with his gifted talented voice.. I could hear him all day ...
Sheldon Riley ... OMG, you sing with such passion and i just want more. I'm 64 yes old and I love the way you look, they way you dress and most of all the way you sing. Please don't listen to negative feed back. Babe, you got what it takes to make it big not just in Britain, but in the world. Your fan!
Excellent potential! If Sheldon had appeared in the 1980's he would have been as revered, if not MORE SO, than Boy George. He has a fabulous voice to match his persona, unique style (unusual in this day and age--where performers appear to copy one another's styles) resulting in an enchantinting amalgam of mystique, charisma and vocals.
Im obsessed with him, he move me in some way that transport me to a magical and heavenly world, I hope he can win this deserved competition

Put everything aside, his voice alone demands that I listen. He brings emotion out of the people that stop and listen. Thank you Sheldon for letting us hear your gift to the world . I will always know your voice and stop to listen.
Talk about showmanship, talent, looks, creativity! He is so entertaining to watch! He's got it...can a record label pick him up already!
I wish I had some way to have the opportunity to actually sit down with sheldon, and thank him for his bravery, courage and ability to accept who he was at such a young age. I've been through so much in my years...a very hard life. His songs touch the depths of my soul and I thank him so much for them. I will always support him and continue to listen to his music and look forward to his theatrics . God bless you sheldon.

Sheldon is incredible. I'd like to see him go right through to the top.
In our view...he already won! His voice and the the emotion he pours into us is so captivating, exhilarating and moving. Stunned...just absolutely stunned by his second performance. His soul connected with ours.
It’s his time.... GO SHELDON!
YES I think he has what it takes to win the show. From all the videos and interviews that I have seen with him, he is a super-nice guy and truly true to himself. His voice is unique and his ability to rearrange a song is astounding! His audition on The Voice Australia singing "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" is what got me hooked on Sheldon. Of course you have to be old enough (or listen to) the original by The Culture Club to really appreciate his work and voice.
Sheldon is AMAZING 💙💜💚
You are such a great singer Sheldon, you can take it all the way to the finish. So good luck Australia is with you all the way.😙😙😙😙🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
From ireland he amazing such a powerful voice
He is awesome so legendary love sheldon he is so talented

Ive seen Sheldon compete on several singing shows. He is visually amazing and he has crazy vocals. What I've noticed is that every song he sings no matter the beat or artist, it all sounds the same like one looooong song. He needs to show diversity with his voice. He's so talented but he needs to figure out how to use his voice differently with each song.
He is what it Takes!!He's Awesomely big to me,with or without AGT,He is going to be BIG!!
As it was for Adam Lambert, the only reason Sheldon didn't win on the lives in the past and probably won't win in the US is that he's openly gay. It's a well-known fact that the various church groups who are anti-gay go out in droves to vote anyone else competing with a gay singer in to win. I'd love it for Adam Lambert to take him under his wings and show him the ropes because I believe that Sheldon has all it takes to get there, he just needs some direction to manifest what's hidden and the experience to express it. Tina Turner, Orlando Bloom and millions of others would encourage him to chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, which would help bring his hidden potential and good fortune forth, as it has done for them as well as another Australian gay singer described in his biography 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within.

I have adored Sheldon for several years. But there is no way that the judges didn't know who he was. Especially Simon!
I got such goosebumps watching this......
Sheldon is AWESOME!! I am surprised that he has not already won. He definitely has what it takes.
He has a very good chance of winning
I'm obsessed with him as well. He's awesome. Love him so much. And yes, he has all it takes to win agt. And I hope he does!!!

Brilliant voice, so talented.
Sheldon has an amazing voice! I hope things progress for him. I look forward to all that comes next for him. Much Success Sheldon!
If he doesn’t win this season, then we know that AGT judges does not recognize talent. I feel like AGT favors people with miserable life stories instead of actually talent. I’ve seen shitty talent making it through just because their life was shit.

I have tried to find somewhat to reach sheldon... To thank him for his theatrics and amazing voice. I'm 57, and I ca not remember ac time I was ever so fixated on a musician. My 3x and my son sing and play numerous instrument, and they are good. But there something about sheldon. That has me coming back to you tube over and over. I would give anything to meet this talented young man and just talk. I admire and respect him for his honesty of who he is. Like I said, I'm now 57,band just now coming into my own.
He's top talent!
Simply yes!
His voice just blows me the hell away. He should be able to decorate all his walls with gold and platinum albums in every room of his house. If he doesn't have a record deal soon the recording industries are the ones who will be the losers.
He absolutely has what it takes, what an amazing singer!
He can win every competittion. Hos voice blings peace in one's mind.
Just love him - always have since his first appearances. So stunning!!!
I REALLY HOPE HE WINS
He got gipped in Australia I'm gonna be pissed if he doesn't make it here in the US!!!! He is a force to be recond with!!!! #SheldonRiley
