Charlie Green, a ten-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.

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.
