Pint-sized performer charms judges, audience on 'America's Got Talent'

Six-year-old Isaac Brown charmed his way to the Las Vegas rounds of reality TV's "America's Got Talent" earlier this week.

Brown, who auditioned in St. Louis, received a standing ovation from the audience for his song and dance performance of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back."

The precocious youngster was told he was a "superstar" by judge Howie Mandel.

"Let me tell you something," said Mandel. "Part of being a performer is the whole package. You don't have to be the best performer," said judge Howie Mandel before the pint-sized entertainer interrupted him.

"I don't think it matters as long as it's coming from your heart," said Brown, who told him he wants to run for president.

"You're a superstar!" said radio "shock jock" Howard Stern, who caused a stir when he made a 7-year-old contestant cry during last week's taped auditions. "I love you already and I just met you."

The ultimate winner of the series will receive a $1 million prize and the chance to headline a Las Vegas production.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
