Sheldon Riley wows judges with a Eurovision cover on US TV

Sheldon Riley wows judges with a Eurovision cover on US TV

Australian singer Sheldon Riley has received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell for his performance of Loreen’s Eurovision track on America’s Got Talent.

The queer Sydney performer has showed off his amazing voice on multiple TV talent shows. Among them are the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Italy in 2022.

In 2020, the 24-year-old singer first performed on America’s Got Talent.

Now Sheldon has returned to Los Angeles to compete in the new series America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League.

The all-stars spinoff gives former AGT finalists and fan favourites a second chance at a win.

Invited back by Simon Cowell and mentored by Mel B, this week Sheldon performed Loreen’s 2023 Eurovision-winning song Tattoo.

He got a standing ovation from judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel. He’s made it through to the semi-final.

After Sheldon’s performance, Howie Mandel said he was “blown away”.

Heidi Klum told him, “You look gorgeous. You did a very beautiful rendition of that song. You nailed it. I loved it.”

Simon Cowell also said he was thrilled to have Sheldon return to AGT because he believes the singer has “unfinished business”.

“Your voice is so distinct and you’re a proper, what I would call, frontman singer,” Simon said.

“So congratulations and welcome back.”

Sheldon Riley reflects on first AGT stint in 2020

On the show, Sheldon met with Mel B and flashed back to his successful first audition in 2020.

That season, the singer took to the stage silently before performing a Billie Eilish song.

Sheldon recalled the warm response he got from the judges was so “validating” after a long personal struggle with self-acceptance.

“I’ve always had a passion for music and performing but I hated the way that I look,” he said.

“This whole concept of the mask happened. I would mask my face so I’d still be able to do what I love to do.”

Unfortunately, the pandemic closed borders and meant Sheldon had to perform remotely from Australia. He missed out on a semi-final spot that season.

“It was heartbreaking because I was on such a roll,” he said.

“I felt like I was finding myself through this show and it just halted.”

Sheldon said it was an honour to return to the show and bring Loreen’s winning Eurovision song to the US audience.

“I wanted to bring some Eurovision magic and show a side to me, the performer and creative, that I’ve kept concealed,” he said.

yessss I love soldi so much the clap clap has my entire heart it was in my top 5 most played songs in 2019 <33 also I have a strong anti ballad stance at eurovision (exceptions for italian ballads only) but brividi and also fai rumore were far more dynamic than the ballads this year but we’ll see how it goes (and staging can add a lot and they italians have a pretty good team behind the scenes)

also this year there will only be televote for the semi finals so I’m hoping for less ballads in the final (it was so bad last year so many fun songs didnt make it)

also almost crying during brividi is a mood tbh like I rewatched the sanremo performance so much and would tear up a bit every time

anon u and I we are birds of a feather soldi was my 2019 obsession song!! also you hit the nail on the head when you say that brividi and fai rumore had a certain dynamic energy that I just didn't really get yesterday from any of the songs :(

I definitely don't remember all of last year's songs but I have a playlist where I picked out my favorites of the sanremo 2022 lineup and it's 9 songs long so unless there's a good amount of bops today I don't see this year's being nearly as long 😭 bring back the ciao ciao energy not the ballads

… well i guess somebody had to come last.

Part 2 of marking designs on the cephs: Sol n Ami :)))

as written, Sol is based on a longfin inshore squid and Ami is a day octopus! They are portrayed as their current ages :)

Sol used to be an ex competitive player even while she joined the Squidbeak Splatoon because at the time, that's how she was lowkey making income. After the battle with Octavio, she was able to score a job/apprenticeship under Sheldon and has been learning about weaponry, even helps out in the shop with him. Sol sometimes dreads when there's a new weapon because she knows Sheldon is going to talk about it for maybe.. hours. But she tries to fight the urge to almost pass out and hear him cause she admires his passion about it, also to just keep notes in the future too.

Ami is still going strong on Grizzco, but she has been taking some classes towards horticulture. She likes plants :)) Sol always insists on Ami to take a breather from Salmon Run to focus on her classes so she sometimes take a whole week break for it, Sol makes sure on it hehe.

Her brother (which I must write/draw out soon within what I see in my head on how this story goes- gosh im a mess @-@ ), Suke, is just exploring what the overworld land has to offer after he had been stuck in the Metro. He's been going to different cities and what seems like months, comes back to see Ami and Sol at their apartment. He's rather nomadic and draws a lot within his small wanderings, its like when he's done filling out his sketchbooks he comes back. He'll always be overjoyed to see how happy his sister is, but still feels rather awkward around Riley. Suke leaves after maybe a month or more (depending on how he felt on his trips) when hanging around with his sister, since he's heard that Ami took a liking to plants, he sends some seed packets stapled to a postcard from places he went :))

here are some overviews

they play turf/anarchy together for fun ^^ Sol likes supporting Ami if she's trying to be a slayer in the match, and protects her if Ami's anchoring.

bonus: fistbump? nah smooches

‘Scarisd3ad’s Masterlist

Decided to make a new one because I don’t know if all the links in my old one work anymore. As you can see I got rid of a bunch of old fic (mainly Steve’s because a lot of the things 13 y/o me wrote for him were god awful) because A I reread them and cringed my ass off while doing so, so decided to scrub any evidence of it off the internet or B the link doesn’t work in the og masterlist and I’ve lost the fic. I also got rid of a couple fandoms I write for because I either don’t get requests for them or I’m not interested in being associated with the fandom anymore.

[zagreuses-toast]

Playlist for Sybil my beloved. it was harder for me to find songs that match her character vibes (or at least my interpretation of her) from my library, which is where I harvest most of the songs for my playlists, so its a little shorter than the others. like Vime's playlist has Dad Music, this one has a fair amount of Mom energy (or at least MY mom's taste in music). explanations/categories for the songs under the cut

Sybil has that dragon centric autistic swag, and she refuses to conform to nonsense:

Whistling in the Dark by TMBG

Weird Science by Oingo Boingo

Life on Mars by David Bowie

Touch Tone Telephone by Lemon Demon

Walking My Gargoyle by the Gothic Archies (this is The Sybil song to me)

Human Behavior by Björk

Sam and Sybil songs (this time from sybil pov/themes, mainly about finding love late in life, devotion, and also a bit of loneliness, she has to share him with the city )

Take a Chance on Me by ABBA

Somebody to Love by Queen

Here is Home by Ryn Weaver

Home to Me by Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (this one!!! loving someone who is always somewhere else, being the thing they come back to no matter what)

Too Tall Girl by TMBG

Me and My Husband by Mitski

Butterfly's Repose by Zabwa

Uptown Girl by Billy Joel

Washing Machine Heart by Mitski

Pink in the Night by Mitski (mainly for the back line, I think about vimes saying Sybil said she could do knots and crosses on his back , a lot)

Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen (Sybil and her siege on Vimes's heart, which he caved to the minute he realized it was happening)

I Do I Do I Do by ABBA

Stuck In the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel (the clowns and jokers being the aristocracy)

Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood mac (reminds me of that guards guards bit with Sybil pointedly not staying at the door for Vimes' dramatic romance movie one last look over the shoulder moment, i love them so much your honor)

I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski (listen she has a TYPE)

Never Knew Love by TMBG

I think about that scene in Fifth Elephant where she is trapped and remembers what growing up as a large and kind girl is like, and then breaks out and kills a werewolf with an iron bar she ripped directly from the window. I think about it a normal amount:

You Cannot by Erin McKewon

It's Different for Girls by of Montreal

Smile! No One Cares How You Feel by The Gothic Archies

Not The Same by Sheldon Riley (also the autism feelings)

Misc:

Army of Me by Bjork

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch from Jekyll and Hyde

Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner (I had to)
