50-Year-Old Massage Therapist Walks On Stage... Then Sings Like Luther Vandross!

What's your name? R.L. Bell. And how old are you? I'm 50 years old. 50 years old? And where are you from? I'm from Houston, Texas. And what do you do, R.L.? Well, I'm a massage therapist. Whoa. Do you ever combine the two? Do you ever sing when you're- Well, you know what? I have. They say, do you mind singing to me while you massage? And that's kind of hard to do. Because I'm trying to focus on my hands, but then I'm trying to focus with the voice too. So what I did, I just put in a CD of mine that I made at home, and I just played it. R.L. Bell, go ahead. Good luck to you, buddy. Thank you. Hit it. Me and Mrs. Jones Oh! Going on We both know that it's wrong But it's much too strong To let it go now She's got her own nation So do, so do, so do I At the same time Me and Mrs. Mrs. Jones Okay. Heidi. I thought it was quite a journey. Wow. And the coat came off, and the voice went up and down and everywhere. And the muscles were going. I mean, it was very entertaining. And you do have a great voice. Thank you. R.L., I like a little bit of sugar in my tea. But I like one teaspoon. That was like a whole bag of sugar. Because it was getting so corny, practically turned into a strip tease halfway through. We've kind of got to de-corny you and make it all about your voice, not the silly outfits, taking your clothes off, because that won't get you anywhere. But you do have a great voice. You know the reason why I did it, though? Tell me. The reason why I did it is because I really wanted Mrs. Jones to know what I was talking about. Oh, of course. Well, unlike Simon, I actually like the whole showmanship. I think you've got a bit of a chance at this, because you do have a really good voice. You know, to me, I agree with Simon. You took away from your voice. It was kind of like Rick James, Sammy Davis Jr., and Hulk Hogan had a child. I think the boys are just jealous of the muscles. I think the girls like it. All right, so let's vote. I agree with Simon 100%, but I don't think when he's talking to you that you get it. So I'm giving you a no. See, I totally disagree. I think that you should amp up even more what you were doing. I do. I'm giving you a yes. Thank you. Mel? Yes, I'd like to see you again. Thank you, dear. Thank you. What do you say, Simon? I don't know. Okay, all right. Based on the audition, it would have been a million percent no. Based on where I think you could go, possibly, I'm going to take a shot and say yes. Thank you, Simon. Thank y'all so much. Well done. Thank you. Hey, it's wonderful. How did I get into this? How do I make noises? I don't know. I grew up making noises. I can't stop it, man. When I was growing up, I lived next to an active runaway. My father was in the Air Force. So that meant every few seconds, that was me. My mom wasn't prepared for that. Why is the six-month-old baby making noises? Now, later on in life, I learned that these sounds can get you in trouble. I'll give you an example. On an aircraft, this is what I did. Not allowed to do this. I don't do that on a plane, man. If you go, they're going to think it's real. I did that. Freaking cart! I'm 34. I don't look 34. I don't look any age. I just look like I've been through stuff. And 34 is a difficult age because it's not old, but it's old enough that the world's changed. I'm old enough to remember, time was you saw a fella with a neck tattoo. Well, then you thought, oh, I'm about to see a dead body. Now you see a fella with a neck tattoo. All you think is, oh, this latte is going to be amazing. And you got to do things to stay young. I do things to stay young. I recently borrowed money from my parents. For those of you who never borrowed money from your parents, the crew will know this. The celebrities will not. You have to gather your parents together and go, hello, mother, father. You know how you're supposed to teach me responsibility? Well, you failed. And that comes with a hefty fine.
