The “America’s Got Talent” judges were moved to a standing ovation for an 18-year-old contestant who survived a Michigan school shooting last November.
“It’s been hard,” she admitted. “I remember my brother and I, we were talking to each other, and we said, ‘There’s no way we’re ever stepping foot back in the school.’ But we’ve actually been in person in the school for about two months now, so things are getting better.”
After delivering a powerful performance, Swiss was met with a standing ovation from the audience and all four judges. “In life, it’s tough to show up, especially after going through incredible trauma,” Howie Mandel, one of the show’s judges, said once things had settled down. “The fact that you can break through that, and shine the way you did today, is so inspirational for every human being.”
Fellow judge Heidi Klum praised the teen for her “incredible,” and Sofía Vergara expressed that she felt as if Swiss wasn’t just singing. She was demonstrating her feelings.“I think you are gutsy,” Cowell concluded. “For me, this is one of those auditions I’ll never forget. I really have so much respect for you, and on top of that, you’ve got a great voice. You’re really somebody who I’m so happy to have met.
