History Music / JackVidgen

* RealityShow / TalentShow: His stints on ''Australia's Got Talent'', ''The Voice'' and now ''I'm a Celeb''. Also performed in many talent shows prior to his win and subsequent record deal.

Since then, Vidgen has undergone a radical transformation, both in terms of music and in image. After working as a vocal coach and a home care worker, he re-emerged in 2019 as a contestant on ''Series/TheVoice'', sounding and looking ''very'' different from his ''AGT'' days. He did not win the competition, to fierce outcry from the general public, but has since gone on to be a contestant on the Australian version of ''I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here'', which has done wonders for his public profile.

* RagsToRiches: Apparently came from a modest background, despite living in the usually-upmarket Northern Beaches.

Jack Vidgen (born January 17, 1997) is an Australian blue-eyed-soul singer from Mona Vale, Sydney. Though he had been performing in public from a very young age, his eventual fame stemmed from a powerful, properly [[MelismaticVocals melismatic]] rendition of WhitneyHouston's "I Have Nothing" in the fifth season of ''Australia's Got Talent'', which aired during 2011. His performance of the song gained in excess of 4.5 million hits on Website/YouTube and resulted in him being featured many times in Perez Hilton's blog. Through this twist of fate, many speculated that Vidgen was Australia's answer to both Susan Boyle and Music/JustinBieber.
