Judges for the Challenge included producer David Foster, songwriter Diane Warren, and Antonio “L.A.” Reid. Diane Warren is among the songwriters and producers working with A.B. at the legendary Record Plant in his hometown of L.A., along with such heavyweights as Watters and long-time partner Louis Biancaniello, JR Rotem, Paula Gallitano, and others. A.B.’s win on the Karaoke Challenge, which led to live performances on three Oprah shows, was the culmination of a life-long journey to share his musical artistry with the world. It all began when he won the ACT-SO talent contest at age 13 with his version of Oleta Adam’s “Get Here.” Years later, the same song won him Oprah’s first prize of $250,000 plus the Def Jam contract. The singer and his mom have moved into a new home in Hawthorne, and he has seen his dreams take legs “in Jesus’ Cadillac.” A.B.
