Johnny Manuel, from Flint, Mich., told Simon Cowell that he’s been in the music business for a while, but after he signed with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 14, his career didn’t take off.
“As a kid, I thought that I was going to take off and see the stars,” he told Cowell. “Obviously it didn’t happen that way.”
And after that, magic happened:
Manuel said he hopes that after his performance, his career will get back on the right track, and there’s a good chance that’ll happen.

Lil Johnny was all good. The man can sing.
His “problem” is that he’s not light skinned handsome and/or not thug gimmick enough for these jive ass record labels/producers. Bullshit trumps talent 9 times out 10 and we’re the big losers.
