He catches the judges off guard with his hilarious roasting-style jokes. Taking turns poking at each one of them, including the host, Ricki-Lee, he has a unique style that sends the audience roaring with laughter.
“Guess what?” JJ asks the crowd. “I got a girlfriend. But I think I’m going to have to dump her because there’s someone new. Hey there…” he grins looking at judge Nicole Scherzinger.
His giggle at the end of the performance is so contagious that the judges and audience can’t help but love him. Judges rave that he is more talented than the other comedians they have seen.
“You’re so cute. I’m a little scared of you.” comments judge Nicole Scherzinger. JJ’s repsonse, “Well, what can you say?”
“You are the funniest seven-year-old I have ever met.” says judge Manu Feildel.
The judges continue to rave and congratulate him on having the stage presence on someone much older. Judge Shane Jacobson explains that his career started when he was ten years old on the stage of Australia’s Got Talent. He knows that small beginnings can lend a lucky break. But that isn’t the end.
Judge Shane Jacobson reaches across the table and presses the golden buzzer.
JJ’s parents rush out on stage as the golden confetti falls like rain from the ceiling. The golden buzzer sends him straight to the semi-finals. They hug and high-five as the crowd cheers him on. JJ’s father laughs as he said they have more jokes to write as a celebration for moving on in the competition.
He may be young. He may be small. But at this rate, JJ has a big career in front of him. With an opportunity to go straight to the semi-finals, JJ’s quick wit is sure to send the judges and audience giggling once again. If there is more from little JJ, he is sure to make the world laugh.
