Only 16-Years-Old – But His Original Song Is An INSTANT HIT!

I'm so glad that I'm sitting 30 feet of watching your life and your future change forever. This, to me, was a brilliant audition. Thank you so much, Simon. Hi, I'm Oscar Stembridge, and welcome to my hometown. I live close to a city called Malmo. It really is just a village, a very small one. So you might be wondering, what's the main sightseeing? It's this window, and that's it. Quite nice. Goose Crossing. Look at that. ADT has been my dream ever since I was a little kid, and I'm on my way now. ADT, here I come. We're in LA. I write about issues that I think need to be talked about more. It's really important to me. That stage over there, I don't know if you can see, but I'm performing on that stage. This is going to be so cool. Thank you. So proud of you. I've always wanted to perform at venues like Madison Square Garden. I really want to be able to do music my whole life. I think that's really the big dream. You're cute. Oh, thank you. Tell us your name. My name is Oskar Stenbridge. Oskar, how old are you? I'm 16 years old. Do I hear an accent? Yes, I'm half Swedish and half English. I live in southern Sweden. Oh, nice. Why are you doing a delayed clapping over here? Because he's half English. I'm half of you, mate, so that's good. Thank you, mate. Since when have you been into music? I've been playing instruments since I was like six years old. My parents have played a lot of music when I was growing up. Did they come with you? Yeah, they're somewhere in this massive theatre. You will be playing for us? Yes, we'll be playing an original song for you. When I wrote this song, I was feeling quite overwhelmed with everything that's going on in the world. And I think a lot of people from my generation feel the same. We're really worried about our future. So I just wanted to write a song which is about, you know, all these negative things that are going on in the world. And turning it into positive things instead that, you know, make the world a better place. Good for you. What if the time just stopped? And we could stay right here What if we smiled at funerals? Cause death ain't what we fear If I'm a fool for dreaming Then what is left for me? If I'm a fool for dreaming Then what is left for me? What if this was the end? Tell me, what would you change? If I had all the answers Then would I still be the same? What if we could heal our hearts? Without the words untold What if nobody felt lonely? And had someone to hold? If I'm a fool for dreaming Then what is left for me? Now what is left for me? These walls are the stories that I can't explain What did you think? The fact that you're singing your original song and the beauty of the words and why you're writing this song I'm so glad that I'm sitting 30 feet of watching your life and your future change forever Wiser than just being 16 years old, you know But it gets screechy when it goes up there And I know about screechy with my voice No, it's like yummier when it's a little lower down here, I guess But it was beautiful I know that in the morning now I love the song, I love you I think you have so much to give to the music world Keep doing what you're doing Beautiful I really loved that first part of the song With that lyric, your voice, everything about this audition was you And I just thought it was so interesting This, to me, was a brilliant audition Thank you so much, Simon Alright, let's vote You have a very special and very unique voice But the level of talent this year is just mind-blowing But I want to see what else you have up your sleeve I say yes, I want to see you again The music is fading The bombs are blazing We keep on smiling through the days Of barely surviving But sing me a song I'll sing it with you As long as I'm here I'll sing it with you Cause I'm just a boy Who wants to worry about his next heartache I'm just a kid who wants to be okay My whitewood is a broken place But it's getting hard Trying to picture a tomorrow As a beautiful tomorrow I imagine yesterday Sing me a song I'll sing it with you As long as I'm here I'll sing it with you There's hoping, fighting I know there's a glimpse of light Even in the cold, darkest nights Little bird, sing me a song I'll sing it with you You need to be always on a stage You're amazing, you're so handsome I think you're a great singer And you already have it all Thank you so much So here's what I think Oscar I think you are a star And I think you have the looks And the chops Just the talent to do it If I want to be totally honest I think you picked the wrong song I do You said it was between two It's a tough competition Only three are going through I don't think that's going to be memorable Heidi, what do you think? I think you definitely sing with your heart There's a kind of gentleness Across to your voice I do wish sometimes That this voice would unleash a little bit more It's kind of a little bit here And sometimes I wish you would just go for it A little bit more So you could show us a little bit more range Simon Oscar, you're 16 years old, right? In my opinion You're like a little diamond Right? Whether you chose the right or wrong song today Doesn't matter Because I think you have a real opportunity In this business To do really, really, really well I really mean that I really would Because you just don't find many people like Oscar I mean, you've got something really cool about you You know who you are And I've just got a really great feeling about you
