Who is that girl? Judges on America's Got Talent had to do a double take when contestant Dani Shay, who is a dead ringer for Justin Bieber, pictured right, took to the stage in Houston Texas
Judges on America's Got Talent had to do a double take when contestant Dani Shay took to the stage at the Houston, Texas auditions, last night.
The androgynous 22-year-old female performer was a complete dead ringer for 17-year-old pop sensation Justin Bieber.
With Bieber's former famous hair flip, Shay immediately had the crowd in a frenzy before she even opened her mouth.

Introducing herself, the Bieber doppelgänger joked to the judges 'Justin Bieber looks like me,' as they discussed her extraordinary likeness to the teenage male star.
Shay performed a spoof of Bieber's hit song 'Baby', referring to her life as a lookalike.
The performance was met with laughs and cheers from the crowd.
'Dani you are truly amazing!!' exclaimed judge Howie Mandel.
Daring: High diver Darren Taylor, who goes by the nickname of Professor Splash, jumped from a balcony at the theatre in Houston, Texas, in front of a hushed live audience
'I think you are very talented young lady and I love the humour you brought to this. But I think you are talented in your own right,' said Piers Morgan.
All three judges then sent Shay to the next round.
Another contestant also stunned the judges when he belly flopped from a height of 26ft into a 12-inch deep paddling pool.

Splash: Audience members and host Nick Cannon gasped as he landed in the wading pool
He did it! The man who had already dislocated his neck twice and broken his heels five times, got a roaring applause from the audience after pulling off his stunt
High diver Darren Taylor, who goes by the nickname of Professor Splash, jumped from a balcony at the theatre in Houston, Texas, in front of a hushed live audience.
The man who had already dislocated his neck twice and broken his heels five times, got a roaring applause from the audience after pulling off his stunt.
'That was one of the most incredible things I have seen in all my life. Are you ok?' Piers asked.
Wild: First cab off the rank in the Texas auditions was the The Rhinestone Ropers, a wild west act involving a death-defying combination of guns and knives
Death-defying: Dan threw knives at his assistant Melody, while she span on a wheel, narrowly missing the cowboy clad brunette
'I have never seen anything like this, I think it was incredible.' said Sharon Osbourne.
All three judges also sent him through to Las Vegas.
First cab off the rank in the Texas auditions was the The Rhinestone Ropers, a wild west act involving a death-defying combination of guns and knives.
Dan threw knives at his assistant Melody, while she span on a wheel, narrowly missing the cowboy clad brunette.
The risky performance drew cheers and a standing ovation from the crowd.
Eccentric: Piano player and singer Daniel Joseph Baker thought of himself as the next Lady Gaga, performing the eccentric singer's hit, Bad Romance
'How many partners have you gone too, ' joked Howie. 'You bring a whole array of entertainment I have never seen on America's Got Talent.'
'I love it because it is traditional old American entertainment.' said Sharon.
The duo also went through to the next round.
Next up was piano player and singer Daniel Joseph Baker, who thought of himself as the next Lady Gaga, performing the eccentric singer's hit, Bad Romance.
With characteristic flair and an incredible voice range, he impressed the judges, giving him another chance to make to impress in Sin City.
'That performance was just great fun... you have a great personality and I think I love you,' Sharon said.
'You have a lot of fierceness,' Howie said. 'But keeps your arm to your side,' referring to his nervous sweat.
Flexible: Twisting and twirling their way to Vegas was the Sandou Trio Russian Bar
'You are a strange one Daniel...you are going to polarise audiences, but you are not everybody cup of tea,' said Piers. 'But I quite liked it.'
Twisting and twirling their way to Vegas was the Sandou Trio Russian Bar.
Gymnast Cassie drew gasps from the audience with a dangerous series of backflips, twists and somersaults, all whilst landing and balancing on a raised bar.
'I can't wait to see what you have in your back pocket for later on.' Sharon said.
Adorable: Six-year-old Tanner, otherwise known as Lil T, booty-shaked his way to The Black Eyed Peas dance anthem Boom Boom Pow
'I could see this in Vegas and I think in terms of danger level,' said Piers. 'I think it was the most high-risk act that we have had on America's Got Talent.'
Adorable six-year-old Tanner, otherwise known as Lil T had the audience and the crowd melting before his performance, as he talked about his 'girlfriend' Abbie.
Booty-shaking his way to The Black Eyed Peas dance anthem Boom Boom Pow, the little one perfected moves like The Robot and The Worm, making his performance a sure-fire guarantee for a trip to Vegas.
Tweet, tweet: Over in Minneapolis, a bird act was first up with parrot Echo helping his handler get through to the next round
'I think you have amazing moves, for a boy of six doing that onstage,' said Piers.
'You are quite the cutest thing we have seen this year,' said Sharon.
Once again some scantily clad ladies got Piers Morgan temperature rising.
This time a troupe of cheerleader-esque dancers by the name of The Perfect Angels emerged in skimpy white bikinis to do the splits, much to the delight of the 45-year-old judge.
Following the performance Piers couldn't resist an opportunity to flirt.
'Ladies, how are you?' he asked with a sly grin. 'That was sexy, it was fun, I am going to say yes.'
Of course, the troupe were ushered through.
Tragedy into triumph: Tears welled up in the audiences eyes as Opera singer Lys Agnes took to the stage performing Ave Maria
Over in chilly Minneapolis, the entertainment didn't stop.
The auditions saw Piers turn up 18 hours late because of snow, leaving Howie and Sharon to judge the first few on their own.
Yet another bird act was first up, with parrot Echo helping his handler get through to the next round.
Tears welled up in audience members eyes as Lys Agnes took to the stage.
The female performer had lost her fiancé in a car accident, and following the tragedy she thought she could never sing again.
Scantily clad: Viva La Muerte, a midget stripper got through to the next round
But her rendition of Ave Maria proved her wrong as the operatic notes wowed both the judges and the audience, getting her through to the next round.
The Silhouettes added another dimension to the night, with their original and abstract performance.
The group of dancers aged nine to 18, danced behind a backlit screen appearing as silhouettes.
Sharon called the performance 'intoxicating' and Piers thought it was 'brilliant'.
Acts that weren't so lucky included an off-key R&B act Status B.L.A.K. impersonator Johnny Di Domenico, burlesque dancer Miss Cherries Jubalie and folk musician Walt Winston.
