Jourdan Blue recently skyrocketed from TikTok favorite to full-fledged celebrity on America’s Got Talent — all thanks to a soul-stirring performance that left everyone speechless and earned him that renowned Golden Buzzer — from serenading strangers on New Orleans sidewalks to commanding a national stage.
The 23-year-old crooner’s emotive and unvarnished rendition of The Script’s famous song “Breakeven” stole the show on the May 27, 2025, episode of AGT. However, it was the backstory that captured hearts, not just the singing.
Joking about his strange origins, Jourdan had a rebellious flair and a sparkle in his eye: “My dad was a lawyer and my mom was a police officer. I obviously went rogue. But because of his disobedience, he ended up living with his grandfather, who loved music and encouraged Jourdan to play.
But when the room really fell silent? Jourdan revealed that the area where he frequently plays was the target of a brutal attack earlier this year. “It made me realize there’s so much more to live for,” he continued, his voice shaking. That’s the reason I’m here.
Then he began to sing.
Jourdan gave the well-known song a gritty, gospel-tinged twist that captivated the room as he poured his all into “Breakeven.” The crowd jumped up and down. Judges came next. “Your hair, your voice, your energy—I’m in love with you,” Sofía Vergara exclaimed, swooning. You are a rock star. Mel B praised how he made the popular song all his own and praised his artistic ability.
“You might’ve gotten lost for a while, but music brought you back,” said Simon Cowell, who never minces words. You’re awesome. You are special. And you gave me an experience I will never forget.
However, it was Howie Mandel who stood up, grinned, and banged the Golden Buzzer, giving him the ultimate seal of fame. He said, “This is just the beginning.” “Your name will soon be widely known.”
Jourdan Blue did more than simply sing his heart out; he sang his way into America’s hearts, with his fiancée and toddler son Jax looking on proudly from the sidelines.
