Local Girl Going To Vegas On America’s Got Talent (With Video)
July 10, 2013
Chloe Channell of Pace is headed to Las Vegas for the next round of America’s Got Talent.
Chloe, just 11 years old, covered the country song “American Girl” by Carrie Underwood. And she quickly let the judges know that she’s not a girly-girl, but rather a deer hunting country girl at heart.
She told the celebrity judge panel that if she won the show’s top prize of $1 million, she would “get a new hunting camp”. And she had to explain to judges Mel B and Howie Mandel exactly what a hunting camp is.
“It’s like where you get big bucks and you can hang them,” Chloe said.
“The animal?” Mandel questioned.
She told him yes, but explained, “you can’t shoot babies, like Bambi babies. You have to shoot big ole bucks.” Chloe said she has not yet shot her first big buck, but she will.
After wowing the judges with her performance, Chloe receive positive praise — and four yes votes.
“I think it’s about time again, don’t you think?” celebrity judge Heidi Klum said after learning that no child had won American’s Got Talent since the first season. Judge Howard Stern said sometimes child singers start out too young and need time to mature, but not Chloe.
“I thought you were terrific…I can’t believe,” Stern said before being interrupted by applause.
“I believe, you young lady, have a career ahead of you,” Madel told the 11-year old. “You are going to be able to afford guns, and tents…dead animals…all a little girl could ever hope for.”
About Chloe Channell
Chloe Nichole Channell was born December 27, 2001, in Pensacola to Jeff and Kim Channell. Being the only girl in the family, Chloe learned quickly to not only play rough and tough, but also how to wrap even the most hardened of hearts around her tiny finger. Chloe has a way with a person that makes even strangers feel as though they have known her for years.
Chloe took the stage for the first time at the age of six, and she knew right away that it was where she wanted to be. In February of 2009, at the age of seven, Chloe became a full-time member of The Sawmill Band at the Chumuckla Farmer’s Opry.
At the age of eight, Chloe went into Coleman Studios in Navarre with a native Nashville band, to record her first self-titled CD. In addition to her performance schedule, Chloe has had a great year as a student athlete. She recently started guitar lessons, which like her singing, has come naturally to her. With only two months of lessons beneath her belt, she has already begun to perform with her guitar. Her love of music is apparent each time she steps out on stage.
The two artists that have inspired Chloe the most are Loretta Lynn and Martina McBride. She admires Loretta Lynn’s ability to tell a story through her music. With her “small frame and big voice,” Chloe likes to compare herself with her all-time favorite Martina McBride.
Chloe has performed in over 300 shows all across Northwest Florida, Southern Alabama, and Georgia, opening for such stars as: Tracy Bird, Rodney Adkins, Little Big Town, Craig Morgan, Ronnie McDowell, Gene Watson, John Conlee, and the “Queen of Bluegrass” Rhonda Vincent.
