Enjoy This 82-Year-Old Man Singing Drowning Pool On America’s Got Talent

Seven years after Susan Boyle first shocked the world on Britain's Got Talent, an 82-year-old man named John Hetlinger has shocked the world on America's Got Talent...in a slightly different way. Last night, the retired aerospace engineer and former Navy pilot appeared on the show and surprised the judges and audience with his choice of song: Drowning Pool's "Bodies." He really committed, too, delivering a pretty intense performance. (It seems he's had some practice.) Enjoy.

He's apparently moving on to the next round, plus he's snagged this sweet invite:
