There are many famous artists but there is only one Frank Sinatra.

But when Sal from Long Island, New York, took the tone in American “Talent”, it was as if the late world star was born again.

The performance aroused such strong emotions among the jury that he even got a direct place in the final.

This performance is just not to be missed!

In a program like “Talent”, it is not always enough to just have a good voice.

To really succeed, the participants need to have a good story, a charming personality or do something that no one else does.

And that’s exactly what Sal Valentinetti was ready to offer when he stepped through the gates of American “Talent”.

The 20-year-old American, with Italian roots, brought his whole family to the program and stepped onto the stage with confident steps.

The jury who was curious about the contestant asked if he had a girlfriend, but the confident guy skipped the question and turned to jury member and model Heidi Klum.

“Hi Heidi, how are you?” he said in a flirtatious tone.

Heidi got a big smile on her face and asked the same question back.

Frank Sinatra is reborn as the 20-year-old takes the tone

Sal was asked why he participated in the competition.

– What to create a name for myself. I want to bring back those Dean Martin types, I want to have fun,” Sal said.

Jury member Howie Mendel asks how he became interested in the older music.

“My grandmother. She passed away and music was the only thing I had left to remember her with. You see, in Italian families, it’s the matriarchy that’s the most important,” says Sal and continues:

“My mother is in here somewhere! My mother means everything to me.

Sal got ready to sing and in the loudspeaker the intro to Frank Sinatra’s classic “My way” began to play.

He began to sing in his deep but sweet voice and gentle shouts and clapping began to be heard from the audience.

But as the song builds up to the grand finale, the audience can no longer hold back the cheers that mix with his powerful finish.

When the number is over, Sal receives a standing ovation from both the jury and the audience.

The big shock – gets golden buzzer from the jury

The jury who were amazed by his charm and Frank Sinatra-like voice gave him outstanding compliments.

“When you want to sing this type of music, you can’t fake it. Either it’s in you or it’s not, and you’re an old soul. And I’m guessing your grandmother looks down on you and thinks, ‘Yes, he did it his way,'” says Simon Cowell.

But the one who was most enchanted by Sal’s charm was Heidi Klum.

“I want to come up there and give you a big kiss,” she said.

Heidi walked up to the 20-year-old and gave him a kiss on the cheek before it was time to give an answer as to whether he had moved on or not.

Most people were sure that he would move on, but no one could have imagined what Heidi Klum had in her sights.

When it was her turn to answer, she asked:

“Do you want to know what I think of you?”

“Tell me,” Sal replied.

Heidi shouted out the question again and moved her hand to the golden button at the jury booth.

“This is how I like you!” she said and pressed the button.

The audience erupted in a huge cheer as gold confetti began to rain over the stage.

But the highlight was the 20-year-old’s reaction:

The gold button meant that Sal went straight to the final!
