Sal Valentinetti, 20, appeared on America’s Got Talent in 2016 and rocked the famous Bronx Italian accent; he’s a pizza delivery boy from Long Island, New York.
This is an outstanding tribute to his grandma and the long tradition of Italian matriarchs. The charming youth looks up to Dean Martin and believes that Male Vocal Jazz from the golden period has potential today. Along the way, he became acquainted with Heidi Klum.
He’s going to sing “My Way” by Frank Sinatra. The major question is whether we’ll hear Frank Sinatra in a Bronx accent. Forget it; he’ll do things his way. You could tell it was something amazing the moment Sal began to sing. This apparent audience favorite blew the roof off!
The judges were likewise blown away. Sal accepted Heidi Klum’s hug and went over to the judges’ table for it. While the judges sang him praises, you can see his mother in the audience sobbing. It was quite moving.
Heidi then pressed the Golden Buzzer, and the crowd erupted. She stepped up on stage to hug Sal once again. Every male of medium height should pay attention here – this is how you may appear good standing next to a taller woman. Definitely not to be missed!
Sal has advanced to the semifinals. Whatever happens, a bright future awaits. At the very least, he can count on a huge tip for every pizza delivery back on Long Island.
