What happened to the “Pretty Baby” singer?

America’s Got Talent Alex Sampson bravely sang an original song called “Pretty Baby” on AGT 2024. While he didn’t win a Golden Buzzer, the song’s ’50s retro feel and his smooth vocals easily earned him four “yes” votes from the judges. Although Alex was visibly nervous at the beginning of his audition, he managed to convince the judges, especially Simon Cowell, that it was smart of him to be in a different genre than the rest of the competition. However, this isn’t the first time this singer from the small town of Atikokan, Canada has performed on stage. Here’s what happened to Alex Sampson from AGT and what songs he can sing.

What is Alex Sampson from America’s Got Talent doing now?

America’s Got Talent 2024’s Alex Sampson released “Pretty Baby” after his audition and will post a video of it on his YouTube channel, so even if he doesn’t win the show’s $1 million grand prize, he’s using his performance as an opportunity to get his name out there to a larger audience.

So far in 2024, the artist has been busy releasing music on his YouTube channel. He has released both the official audio and visualizer for “Pretty Baby,” a live acoustic version of “The Girl Who Cried Love” and “BLIND” from Los Angeles, and the official music video for “The Girl Who Cried Love.” He also played a showcase at Hotel Ziggy on June 12, 2024, and had a 37-minute interview with Zach Sang in January 2024, which is available on YouTube.

On his official account at X, Alex describes himself as a singer, songwriter and chicken wing lover. He was born on January 20th and stated at his audition that he was only 20 years old. His Instagram profile is also impressive: it has around 1 million followers.

What songs can Alex Sampson sing?

Alex Sampson has a large catalog of original songs and covers available on his YouTube page. His first video on his channel was uploaded on January 14, 2019.

Therefore, he has a lot of song options at his disposal if he makes it to the semi-finals (which we assume he will). Here is just a selection of original songs and cover versions that he has officially released, along with some music videos:

If Alex Sampson makes it to the live shows, he will return to the show sometime between August 13 and September 18, 2024. According to the show’s full TV schedule, there will be a two-week break between July and August due to the 2024 Paris Olympics. NBC has not yet announced which live shows he will be assigned to, but given all the singing talent this year, we’re hoping he’ll be in a less competitive group.

Case in point: As for the singers on AGT 2024, four have received a Golden Buzzer so far. They include janitor Richard Goodall, soulful singer Liv Warfield, 9-year-old Pranysqa Mishra, and 14-year-old Reid Wilson. And then, of course, there are many other singers and vocal groups who made it to the semifinals. Hopefully Alex Sampson’s own songs (or perhaps one of his covers) will earn him a spot in the finals.
