He talks about how much he loves his son and it’s evident to the audience he is a fantastic father and they are lucky to have each other.

“When I look at him, he just lights up my life. Being a father is just the best thing ever. The first time I laid eyes on him, something just changed inside of me. My whole perspective on life changed completely.” – Joseph Whelan.

The female judges are enjoying the eye candy!” Whelan would clearly have no issues finding a new girlfriend as many women in the crowd are whistle at him. Whelan appears to be oblivious to all this female affection being such a modest person.

He laughs into the microphone saying “This is brilliant, mate!” Once Whelan admits he is auditioning for his son the crowd “Awwws.” Then Led Zepplin’s Whole Lotta Love which is a bold choice, begins to play.
