Following Simon Cowell’s advice about making a song your own, Golden Buzzer recipient Reid Wilson stunned the America’s Got Talent Judges Wednesday night with a cover of Ariana Grande’s “Almost is Never Enough” during the third round of the Season 25 Quarterfinals. The captivating performance was enough to land the 14-year-old singer, who just so happens to be the younger brother of a previous contestant on NBC’s The Voice, a spot in the Live Semifinal alongside acrobat Kelsey Jane and stand-up comic Learnmore Jonasi.
There’s a lot riding on Wilson’s potential season win, though Reid is less concerned about the bragging rights and substantial cash prize than he is about a canine-related deal he made with his parents. “I want to win AGT because 1) it would help me become this huge star and 2) my parents made me a promise that I’ll be able to buy a dog,” he said.
