It’s young blue eyes – Britain’s Got Talent hopeful Robbie Firmin is a pint-sized Frank Sinatra.
The seven-year-old wows the judges in tonight’s edition of the ITV1 show, performing his version of the Sinatra classic My Way.
And it looks like he is a long way from facing his final curtain after being heaped with praise by the judging panel.
The youngster from Chatham in Kent donned a suit and hat to complete his transformation into Sinatra – famed for songs such as You Make Me Feel So Young.
He also tried to turn matchmaker by telling audition judge Louis Walsh his aunt is looking for a new boyfriend.
“I think she would want you to be it,” he tells Walsh, before inviting his aunt on stage.
Young talent seems to meet the judges’ approval with his performance.
Amanda Holden tells him: “You were fantastic, it was fabulous.”
And fellow panellist Michael McIntyre says: “Robbie, I thought that was just brilliant, it had everything – you toyed with the audience, they were up, they were down, they were swaying. Robbie you’re a star.”
Also on the show is another youthful music act – duo Follow The Right Path, who impress the judges with a rap about their grandfathers.
And Walsh thinks pals Jamie, 14, and George, 13 – who met though playing football together – could have a bright future.
He tells them: “I thought it sounded like a hit record. I think your granddads would be very proud of you. You’re great role models for young kids.”
Also on the show is a performing dog act Mexican Mayhem, featuring Chihuahuas Twizzle and Tucker.
But one of the pets ignores the routine – to the frustration of sombrero-wearing owner Melanie.
She had earlier told judges: “These dogs have got a hundred times more talent than I have in my little finger. These little girls could go on stage in front of any member of the royal family, I’d be so proud of them.”
McIntyre reckons the act is even better because of Twizzle’s disobedience.
“If both the dogs did what they were supposed to do, it wouldn’t have been nearly as entertaining,” he says. “It was like they were a comedy double act.”
