(WMC-TV) – We want to congratulate Arlington High School student Drew Erwin. for making it on national TV this week. Erwin showcased his singing on America's Got Talent, here on WMC-TV 5.

Sharon Osbourne, who is a judge on the show, told Erwin she thought he had a lot of talent, but she and Howard Stern instead picked a bird handler to move forward.

"You have courage you do have talent and I think you are going to succeed at what you want. You are eventually going to get what you want." Osbourne said.

Drew Erwin was selected for the show based on a Youtube video his parents secretly submitted to the show.
