Lola McQueen is the first Deaf drag queen in the world with a Golden buzzer on Belgium's Got Talent 2019.

BRUSSELS -- Deaf drag queen Lola McQueen 31, audition for Belgium’s Got Talent. Lola McQueen slays lip sync leaves audiences and judges speechless.

Lola McQueen blew the judges of Belgium's Got Talent away when he performed ‘A Million Dreams’ by P!nk. He received a golden buzzer after one of the judges was moved to tears by his performance.

Lola McQueen was born Deaf, but that did not hold his back from chasing his dreams. “Being Deaf is an enrichment for me, I would not have it any other way. It maybe sounds weird, but I can say this having been through a lot in my life. I have been bullied and people always told me I couldn’t perform. I have been able to fulfil all my dreams, because I believe people shouldn’t decide what I can do. I am the one who decides that,” McQueen told the judges.

This is the second act performed by Lola McQueen on Belgium's Got Talent.

He got an Golden buzzer from the viewers at home and from judge Stan Van Samang. Thank you everyone for support and believe in Lola McQueen for his successfully on Belgium's Got Talent.

Although being Deaf, McQueen is able to lip sync by feeling the vibrations of the music. His performance left the judges speechless. “This was amazing. I think it was incredible,” judge Stan Van Samang told McQueen.

Deaf Women Sings On Ireland's Got Talent

Deaf signing choir leaves judges speechless on Ireland's Got Talent.

DUBIN, Ireland -- A choir with seven Deaf members and two Hearing singers are set to wow the audience and judges on Ireland's Got Talent this weekend.

The Deaftones are a choir from Holy Family School of the Deaf in Dublin and among the members are three sisters, two of whom are Deaf and one who is the only hearing member of her family.

They tackle Ed Sheeran's Photograph on the show with the two hearing girls singing and the eleven Deaf members signing.

The group range in age from 13-39 years old and they experience music in a variety of different ways, including sensing sound through vibrations and lip reading.

"They all hear music in different ways," explains their teacher Shirley Higgins. "Some of them hear the music and the words, some of them hear just the music, and some of them hear nothing at all."

Deaf Choir Deaftones performs John Lennon´s "Imagine" - Semi-Final 2.

The choir began seven years ago and recently brought the two hearing members on board, because "we wanted to show how hearing and Deaf communities can mix, how they live in two worlds and how they can be the same as anyone else."

Judges Denise Van Outen and Louis Walsh are particularly affected by the performance.

Ireland’s Got Talent airs on Saturday 17th February at 7.30pm, followed by Ireland’s Got Mór Talent at 8.30pm on the Ireland’s Got Talent from TV3.

“After I lost my hearing, I gave up,” she said. “But I want to do more with my life than just give up.” She explained that after a period of not performing, she learned how to sing again by using tools such as “visual tuners”, and added that she performs without wearing shoes so she can feel a song’s beat through floor vibrations.
