Andrew De Leon

Andrew De Leon is an opera singer act from Season 7 of America's Got Talent. He was eliminated in the Vegas Round, but he returned for the Wild Card Show.

Background
Growing up, Andrew De Leon was a big fan of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie. Listening to them was an escape for him, for he was an outsider. He felt alienated because he was not interested in athletics or other interests commonly followed. Andrew developed an interest in singing, but by his audition, he had never sung to anyone in public, including his family.

Audition
Andrew De Leon's audition consisted of singing "O mio babbino caro." Howard Stern, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel all voted "Yes," sending him to the Vegas Round.



Vegas Round
Andrew De Leon was one of the Judges' Favorites in the Vegas Round. He was sorted into the "Opera Singers" category. His performance consisted of singing an opera piece. At one point in his performance, however, he forgot the lyrics of the song and stopped singing even as the background music continued. His audition was not strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals, eliminating him from the competition.



Wild Card (Quarterfinals)
Andrew De Leon was brought back by Howie Mandel for the Wild Card Show. His Quarterfinals performance consisted of singing a Spanish operatic version of "Unbreak My Heart." He received enough votes to be sent to the Semifinals instead of Horse and Jake Wesley Rogers.
