I want to be a Black singer (video)


(America's Got Talent, Season 14, Los Angeles, California) Kids say the darndest things. British AGT Judge Simon Cowell STOPS this little White girl auditioning by singing a famous Black singer's big hit ("Think") and really puts her on the spot: He tells her to sing it acapella, that is, unaccompanied by the backing track she prepared, which no one was expecting to happen while filming for a show to air on national TV. But she's precocious and, like the original singer Aretha Franklin, she will not be intimidated. Ansley Burns, 12, shows bad man Simon and the whole world.
