As John Wines took the stage for his guitar solo on the latest episode of “America’s Got Talent,” he braced himself for the familiar sight of red Xs symbolizing rejection. However, as his performance unfolded, the 59-year-old contestant transformed into a rock legend who not only amazed the judges but also had the audience chanting for an encore.
Simon Cowell, visibly impressed, confessed, “I was not expecting that,” as Wines flawlessly shredded his rendition of Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” Heidi Klum joined in praising his performance, acknowledging that he had indeed become a rock star.
Overwhelmed by the moment, Wines, a former electrician turned music teacher from the U.K., still felt the adrenaline pumping through his veins. “My legs are going,” he admitted, experiencing the physical effects of the exhilarating experience.
While Wines’ musical talents have already garnered attention from his 1.3 million followers on TikTok, his virtuoso audition on national television will undoubtedly raise his profile even further.
Moreover, he has earned himself another opportunity to showcase his skills, as all four panelists unanimously voted “yes,” propelling him to the next round of the competition.
