Kim Regasa has been dubbed by the media as the “mini Michael Jackson” of Holland.
Making it among the 9 finalists from the 4,000 who auditioned in the British reality talent-search franchise owned by Simon Cowell, Regasa easily became a crowd favorite.
At the audition, the very popular Dutch judge named Gordon praised Regasa and suggested he sounded like the young Michael Jackson.
So, Regasa’s mother immediately changed his repertoire and searched for Jackson Five songs.
Come semi-finals, when he sang “Who’s Loving You” by the Jackson Five, the crowd and the 3 judges stood up and gave Regasa the longest standing ovation on the show.
The following day, Regasa was all over the news, and the media aptly dubbed him as the “mini Michael Jackson” of Holland.
But Regasa did not bag the title in the finals as tenor Martin Hurkens received the most text votes, winning the top prize in Holland’s Got Talent 2010.
Because he’s still very young, failure did not wreck Regasa’s night and the days ahead.
