10 TIMES THE JUDGES CRY From Heartbreaking Performances!

Good evening. Hello. How are you? A little nervous, but also very nervous. What is your name? My name is Stephanie Rainey. How old are you? I'm 36. I'm guessing you're going to sing for us tonight. I am. And for how long you've been doing this? Oh, since I was probably 18. Is this your first time like attempting to be in a competition like AGT? Yeah, I've had a very kind of roller coaster career, I'd say. The song that I'm going to play for you today um has had quite a big moment in the past, and

we made it in just a tiny room and put it up one Monday morning, and it just by the end of the day it had a million views. Wow. And then I signed a deal after the song came out. I think I probably didn't fully know who I was back when I signed that deal. The journey from then until now has been hard. It's a tough industry, you know? Yeah. You have to be resilient, and I think sometimes when the downs come you have to be willing to kind of pick yourself back up. Um so,

Here I am. So, the song is called It's called Please Don't Go. I wrote it about losing my nephew when I was a teenager. He was about to turn one. It was the day before his first birthday, and he passed away. Oh, sorry. And it took me a long time to write a song about it. Honestly, I was about to give up music. So, I was like, I want to make something For me that I believe in. So, this song means more to me than I can actually like even describe. Good for you for doing

that and not giving up. I do know how difficult the music business is. There's so many great people who are giving up, and that's why a platform like this is still really, really important. Absolutely. And who do you play with? Uh my best friend uh Sarah, she's here with me today and, uh, she's been on every single step of this journey with me from the very beginning. Okay, well, look, we're rooting for you. Thank you. I hold your hand till it goes cold. I hold my tears until you go. With all the life that leaves

your bones, it sucks the purpose from my own. Oh. Please, don't go. I've kept my own side of the bed, thinking you'd be home again. I hold myself so I can sleep. My pillow holds the screams I need. Oh. Please, Please, don't go. So, lay yourself down on my chest. Cuz I know how to hold you best. I'll keep you through these last few breaths. And kiss and love you till the end. Oh. Please, don't go. Wow. Woo! Bethany, it was such a beautiful, heartfelt song. You can tell what you Went through. It was very

simple and perfect. Very few acts move people, and that was one of the most relatable, emotional moments we've had on season 19. So, thank you so much. Oh, yeah. Your voice sounded amazing on this stage. It was just a real special moment. Well done. Thank you. Of all the new songs I've heard this Year, this is the best by a mile. And even though it's about something really sad, it's real. And your voice is beautiful. A lot of people are going to resonate with that song and you. I absolutely love this. Thank you so much.

I think I'm going to give you your first yes. I'm also going to give you a yes. Yes. I think I'm going to give you about 4,000 yeses. That was what I call a moment. That song is so beautiful. Thank you so much for coming out. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. All right, girls, who are you? We are Rise. Okay, and tell me a little bit about the group. Who's Who's put this together? Uh I'm the choreographer. My name's Thea. Hello. Uh we We've been together about 5 or 6 years, um but

we've only recently brought this piece together. And the reason we brought this piece together is Holly was in the Manchester attack last year. Um it's been just a ridiculous journey for everybody. Um but Holly herself has been absolutely amazing, aren't you, girls? Just Yeah. I'd bought Holly tickets for her birthday as a surprise. We'd seen Ariana Grande before and she were really good. Me, Holly, Holly's mum, Kelly were going. It were just an amazing, happy day that just ended so badly. We just got up to leave and as we got into the foyer, that's when

the bomb went off. We are continuing to cover this suicide Bombing in Manchester, which has injured more than 50. It took 23 hours for us to find out that Holly Arianna died. She died at the scene in the arena. Holly broke her right knee. Um, on her left leg she broke her foot, a leg, and she's got nerve damage. She can't walk on her left leg without wearing splint. She's had 11 operations so far. She's got more to come. And she fights every single day and she just she takes my breath away every time. Me

and Madison are cousins and we've been dancing together since we were little. She just loves to dance. It's everything to her. It's lovely. A couple of days after it happened, I was saying, "When can I go back to dancing?" I even saying it to my doctors and they didn't know whether I could or Like when I'd come back. They've been part of this crew for a couple of years. They dance really well together but they are friends as well, which I think it is a great thing. I was speaking to her mom on the phone

and I said, "Let's get about dancing." And we were saying, "We don't know how we're going to do it but we'll do it." To bring her back into dancing at the level that she can do it in and just to see the smile on her face when she comes Home. It it means so much to us. She's an inspiration to me and to everyone that comes across her. Um, Holly, how does it feel to be back as part of the team dancing? It feels amazing. Like, everybody has been absolutely supportive, and I couldn't have asked

for anything better. Brilliant. And how does it feel to be back in Manchester? Um it's always difficult coming back to Manchester, but um this is like the first place I've been what's like um not like an arena, but it is a bit, and So, it's a big moment for the group. Okay, girls. Absolutely every single person in this room is right behind you, and we wish you the best of luck. Thank you. Thank you. Go on, girls. Come on. Oh god. YEAH. YEAH. HUH. LADIES, THE TIME HAS COME. LADIES, THE HOUR HAS COME TO LAY

DOWN OUR ARMS. I surrender my arms. Ready to fight the brave. I surrender my arms. I surrender my arms. Representing all the women, salute, salute. Oh god, it gets you in the end. I have no arms. Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay. Cuz when you don't feel strong enough to stand, You can reach out your hand. Alesha, um you are all remarkable women, all of you. And that was probably one of my favorite moments ever on this show. Ever. I think the whole of Manchester is proud of you, and the whole of

the UK will be too. Well done, girls. So good. Yeah, it was so beautiful and moving. It almost didn't seem real. And this whole performance is a testament to your talent and also it's a testament to your incredible friendship that you've put this together to honor your friend. I mean it's the most beautiful performance I've ever seen. Girls, it's so important not to be defined by tragedy. To be shaped by it, but never defined by it. Congratulations. It was an amazing audition. Simon. Uh you know what, Holly? It is Wow, this is difficult. You know,

I've been trying to put to get through what you went through and come out here and turn a negative into a positive is actually quite Unbelievable. Really. Because, you know, what these people did is they're cowards. And the fact that you can come on stage, do what you did, and make such a positive statement, and with your friends, I'm very proud of you. In fact, I salute you. But we still got a vote. David. I'm going to say yes. It's a yes from me, girls. It's a yes from me. I've worked out I think we've

probably got about 3,400 yeses right there. I I think anybody's ever got two standing ovations on this show. Come on, girls. That was amazing. Oh my god, you love it. Stop it. You're going to start us all off here. Come on. Well done. What did you think of What a special girl. I want a tissue. I want my tissues. I want my tissues. Take them. Take them. Take them.

You just thought you were HAVING A LOVELY DAY OUT. I I I did. We had a whole day planned. Well, that's changed. Yeah, this is complete shock to me. He said he'd never do it, so we had to do it for him. Why did you say you'd never do it? I I think over the years uh I've lost a Lot of confidence in my singing. So, um yeah, I I tend to do it at home in the shower. Well, I'll tell you what, Nick, I'll tell you what, why don't you go off, grab a glass

of water, and then come back on. Would that be a good idea? Thanks. Nick literally thought you'd run away. I notice you've got your words down There, which is totally fine. You can do whatever it takes to get through it. It's a song that I felt quite attached to, uh so I sing it quite a lot around the house. So, hopefully I'll keep uh the nerves and the the crying away whilst I'm sitting here. That's true. Well, we are all rooting for you, aren't we? Thank you. Yes, I'll admit I was terrified. Till that moment

I saw your eyes. Yes, I became a different man when I held your tiny hands in mine. Yes, the first words I heard you say. Yes, I remember it like yesterday. Love is blowing in the breeze and you're growing up right in front of me. You're daddy's little girl, precious little angel, dancing in the living room and drawing on the table. Wearing mommy's pearls, Putting on her makeup, even though I know these moments they won't last forever. But to me, you'll always be daddy's little girls. Someday you'll be dressed in white, all gracious butterflies. But

in my mind I'll let you go. In my heart you know you'll always stay. But until then I cherished every kiss goodnight. And every door you slammed every little fight. I'll be there for you even when I'm gone. You'll just listen to this song. Like nothing's changed at all. You're still daddy's little girls. Precious little angels dancing in the living room and drawing on the table. Wearing mama's pearls, putting on her makeup. Even though I know these moments they won't last forever.

Um cliche as it sounds. I'm a jokey, fun person. I like to keep a smile on everyone's faces and I guess It was just about like I I hurt and I feel like everybody else. Um Who dumped who? Um it was kind of like a mutual agreement, but it was so heartbreaking. Like I felt like I was But

Writing a song about something that means so much to you. You did it with such emotion and passion. It It was just beautiful. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Looks like we're in the

right place. This is amazing. This is my sister, Jenna. This is Stu, and we're the Red Laws. We grew up in a small town called Kirkwall. We had a farm. Not a normal farm, though. No. It was called the Yeehaw Adventure Farm. Hundreds of people would just come and have fun. Our dad built a 10,000 pumpkin pumpkin patch, 10-acre corn maze, and pig races. That's where the Red Claws started with a halftime show at the pig races and I played the banjo, she sang. Our mom actually named the band cuz it's our last name backwards.

It's Walker backwards is Red Claw. That is the coolest thing. We've been back and forth trying to decide what song to do. We wanted it to be a song specifically about our mom. We lost our mom to mental health and that shook up our world. We lost her in 2022 and it was a very tough time for our family and we just want to acknowledge that to people that are going through tough times. Mom would be very proud right now. Yeah. The whole reason we're here is Because of her. Sorry. You're great. I hope that

she can see us here. Oh my god. This is going to be nuts. She'd say, "You're playing for Simon Cowell. Do not embarrass me. We have one shot at this performance. So, we're not going to stop, Mom. Can't stop me now." Hello. Welcome both of you. Let's hear your names, please. I'm Stewart Walker. And I'm Jenna Walker. We're brother and sister. Okay. And where you from? Toronto, Canada. That's my country. What kind of music are you into? Country music. Country. Brilliant. Do you write your own songs? We do. We're actually going to perform An original

song. It's called People Don't Talk About. And tell me what it's about. We wrote this song probably 2 years ago. Our family's been through a lot of stuff that we kind of didn't feel comfortable talking about and we wrote it about that. We felt like if we had this opportunity to get on this stage and if we had one song to play, this would be the song. This is the one. I said 17, would have loved to hear this song. That's really important. And do you think you're going to win? We've chasing this dream for

a long, long time and we feel like it's just the right moment. And timing sometimes is everything, right? Exactly, yeah. Exactly. We're all rooting for you, so best of luck. Thank you. All right. All right. I like it when a group is a family. Yeah. I think they're going to be good. All right. Okay. Three, two I grew up playing cowboys. I like to play pretend. Bunch of kids in a Backyard, back when it made sense. We would speak our minds and say just what we meant. That was the old me. Nobody told me that

everything changes. Yeah, it was said then. You better keep quiet if you want to fit in. People don't talk about when it's 2:00 a.m. you're talking to yourself again. You're digging a hole. You're digging a hole. People don't talk about trying to be Yourself but feeling like you're someone else. You're not alone. You're not alone. I want to know everything that you don't say aloud. Yeah, all the things that people don't talk about. Cuz people don't talk about. Take a load off. Take a breath. Say all that and say the rest. If you let it

out, you can let them in. Take a load off. Take a breath. Say all that then say the rest. If you let it out You can let them out. People don't talk about when it's too late. You're talking to yourself again. You're digging a hole. You're digging a hole. People don't talk about trying to be yourself or feeling like you're someone else. You're not alone. You're not alone. I want to know everything that you don't say aloud. Get all the things that people don't talk about. Cuz people don't talk about Cuz people don't talk about

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's really good, you two. Um how are you on your feet? But first of all, your singing and your writing is impeccable. And I don't usually respond to lyrics like I'm responding to this. You know, I've been very open with my little soapbox is mental health. And there's a stigma attached. And the thing that allows me to survive is the ability to talk about it. This song is an important song. And I think that you are going to go a long way in this competition. Thank you. Yeah, I liked

it, too. I like the song. I love that you're siblings. I also feel that you really wanted and I feel like you deserve it. Thank you.

With me here today is my mom and dad. They're probably my biggest fans. We were just joking that you were our favorite son, but we Joking? Choose one here. I used to work in finance and I was a trader and on Friday night, Saturday night go to a wedding and perform. I told my mom, I'm going to quit my job and do

magic full-time. That's what I'm meant to be doing. And finally, I did that. I was horrified when he threw in his job cuz I spent all my life in finance and six of our sons were also in finance. And then when he turned around he said, "I'm going to quit and I'm going to go into cards." I thought, "Mick, you're mad." If I take the jack and just take the corner off and go It's gone. It's in your hand. Have a look. The rest of the cards. Does that fit? You owe me a dollar 20

now cuz you're on my deck. It was a big sacrifice, but 4 years Later, at least now I'm super happy I've made that call. Is it hard to perfect what you're doing to get all of the little fun It's There's a lot going on. I'm using magic in a way that I think it's never been used before. So, my performance tonight um has a message behind it that's very important. It's really why I'm here today cuz I've I've wanted to share this story and I think this is the perfect place to do that. And you

walk out to the start. Good luck. Hello. Hello. How are you? I'm great. What's your name? My name is Michael Webb. Some people know me as Magic Mike. Magic Mike? Not a stripper, I'm a magician. Oh, you can't say Magic Mike. You'll get Everybody's hopes up. Sorry your hopes up now. So, what you're doing today? Is this your day job or About 4 years ago I quit my job to do this full-time. And you want to take this now to the next level. I came here on AGT because I really wanted share a story that

means a lot to me and I knew this is the biggest platform in Australia to do it. Well, look, whenever you're ready, the stage is yours. I'm going to come and join you on the stage. Is that all right? Yeah. Okay. Well, well, here we go. He's off. He usually doesn't do stories like that. He usually just does does tricks. Yeah. Hello. Hi. I have a deck of cards to help me tell a story. Alicia, can you help me out? Can you give them a little shuffle? Give them a little mix up. Beautiful. Oh, this

Don't judge me. They're a new pack of cards. Oh, wow. You're upstaging me now. I don't like it. There you go. That will do. That will do, Magic Mike. Perfect. You have shuffled the hell out of it. Shane, can you help me? Yeah, of course. Um I'm going to get you to say stop whenever you like. Uh stop. Have a look. Don't let me see it actually. Can you sign it on the face of the card and nice and big write Shane. You can show the other judges. You can hold it up and show the

team if you trust them. Um there is Perfect. Thank you. Throw it in the Middle here. Copy that. Lovely. Thank you. David, I'm actually got the biggest man crush on you, so I want to start here. Is that all right? mutual. And if you do want to take off your clothes, Magic Mike, feel free. Everyone has their price, David. Well, if we can sort this out. But I honestly I've came here to tell You all a story that means a lot to me and I hope you like it. It's actually a story about a guy

I know named Jack. And if you met Jack, you'd probably think he's the luckiest guy in the world. I mean, he's got a loving family and plenty of mates. And they think he's kind of funny. They always think of him as a bit of a joker. And when he's out on the town with his mates, they really get around him. They Call him the king. Which is kind of ironic because whenever the night ends up at the karaoke bar, he's the one always singing queen. Wow. But even on the most joyous of occasions like Christmas

or even his birthday, he'd often look around at the full house of family and friends having such a good time. And he'd stop and think, "What's wrong with me? Like why can't I have fun?" And the more he thought about this, the worse he felt. And the worse he felt, the more guilty he felt. And all of a sudden, he'd have shame and become flush with emotion. So, what would Jack do? He'd find a nice quiet room in the house And cry. You see, Jack was a 28-year-old man. And in his mind, 28-year-old males, they

needed to be strong. They don't talk about their feelings. And it wasn't until he learned that one in 10 Australians actually seek professional help that he realized he wasn't alone. And that's what gave him the courage to talk to his friends. And When he did, they thought it showed true heart to talk about his feelings. So, he started to do some research and he was shocked to learn that in the most recent year, 3,318 Australians took their own lives. That's 63 people every single week. 63. And for every person that did, another 20 attempted to.

In Australia, suicide is the leading cause of death people age between 15 to 44. And he didn't want to become another statistic. But do you know what really helped Jack? It was hearing other people's stories. And not just stories from his friends and family, but stories from Australian royalty. Australians in politics. Australians in fashion and business. Even some Australian sporting legends. Hearing these people share their own personal stories about their struggles helped Jack recognize his fears made him realize he's not alone. So, do you know what Jack decided to do? Jack decided to share his

story on Australia's Got Talent. And by sharing this story today, I hope I can make just at least one person get their head straight. So, now more than ever do we need people to have the courage to reach out. There's a trained professional a phone call away. 24/7. Don't cry, mate. Thank you. I want all Australians genuinely who are struggling with their mental health To remember that without the rain there can be no rainbow. So, I want all Australians to shine bright like a diamond. Thank you. How you feeling, Dad? You okay, buddy? You good?

I'm not sure if you know, mate. I've kick-started a a thing called Cut the Silence recently. Uh you and I both know that R U OK Day is not 1 day of the Year, it's every day you're on Earth as a human. And you've just told me a credible story that's incredibly personal. And the thing I know through some work I'm doing is that letting other people know they're not alone is the most important thing. But what a beautiful way for you to come here and demonstrate it with a skill that you've got that's that's

that's a card trick, but told from the heart. I've never seen it done like That. So, uh you, my friend, are incredibly brave. Know that. Thank you. I think what was most amazing about that was that we really wanted to see what this trick was all about. And it led into a story that is so important to tell. Thank you so much for sharing your story and making people uh aware that they are not alone. Well done. Thanks, Kate. David? Well, I've never heard an audience so quiet before. And even before you got into the

very sort of personal details of the story, it was still sort of mesmerizing. You are magic because you'll have changed people's lives. So, well done. Thanks, David. For me, it was just the perfect act. It was so moving, really, really moving. I've been doing This show for a long, long time. And to see something like that was truly, truly special. So, thank you so, so much and well well done. That's what you've been called. Thank you. That's actually the longest standing judge on the panel, right? So, it gives me great pleasure to say it's a

yes from me. Thank you. No, mate. It's a It's a yes from me, without a doubt. Kate. Up. It's a yes from me, an easy one. Thank you. David. And I'm sure everyone in the room and the millions of people watching want to give you a yes, too. So, you have millions and millions of yeses. Thanks so much. Aw, you didn't mean to get so emotional with it. Yeah. It's two sort of incredible things at once. Yeah. were just sort of totally hand in hand. Hello. Hello. What's your name and where are you from? My

name is Mark McMullan. I am 23 and I'm from Northern Ireland. Presumably you're going to sing for us today? I am, yes. Okay. So, what are you going to sing today? I'm going to sing Bring Him Home from Les Misérables. Aw, I love this song. And why did you choose that song? Bring Him Home is a very, very personal song to me and my family. About Nearly 6 years ago, uh my older brother took sick from a brain injury and um he's here today. But um he was he was left with a condition called locked-in

syndrome. Right. Which basically means he can't he's trapped inside his own body and the only thing he can really do is hear. So my music kind of became a big comfort for him. Aw, darling. Why Britain's Got Talent now? It just seemed to be the right time. Everything in my life kind of lined up at this moment to bring me here. So uh I just thought what the hell, just go for it. So um half of me is here today for me and to try and pursue my career in music and the other half of

me is here to kind of do them proud and yeah. Good for you. Okay, well, the stage is yours. Thank you very much. Good luck. Thank you. God on high, hear my prayer. In my need, you have always been there. He is young, he is afraid. Let him rest. Heaven blessed. Bring him home. Bring him home. Bring him home. You can't take. You can give. Let him be. Let him live. If I die, Let me die. Let him live. Bring him home. Bring him home. Bring him home. Home. Oh. Hello. Hello. How are you? I'm

Oh, I love it you say mom like me. Yeah, she's my rock, so. And what are you going to sing? Uh I'm going to sing Jealous by Labrinth. And tell me why you've chosen that song. Um it means a lot to me for a different reason, I think, to how Labrinth wrote it. Which is? Um Um I lost

my best friend a couple of years ago. Um and I kind of interpret the lyrics in a completely different way. I lost my best friend 2 years ago. Um he was only 18 at the time. Um and we Were really, really close. We did everything together. We got a call saying we had to go to the hospital cuz he wasn't going to last the day. And I know that was was tough on Josh. Sorry. The lyrics kind of say, I'm jealous that you're happy without me. Um and I kind of see it in the sense

that I'm jealous that he's now happy in heaven, that he's moved on to a better place, and that I Can't still be with him. Well, best of luck, Josh. Thank you. My son. My mom. I'm jealous of the rain. It falls upon my skin. It's closer than my hands have been. Oh, I'm jealous of the rain. Cuz I wish you the best of all this world could give. And I told you when you left me, there's nothing to forgive. But I always thought you'd come back. Tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery. It's

hard for me to say I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me. I wish you the best of all this world could give. And I told you when you left me, there's nothing to forgive. But I always thought you'd come back. Tell me all you found was Heartbreak and misery. It's hard for me to say I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me. And it's hard for me to say I'm jealous of the way you're happy without You're happy without me. That was amazing. Um Do you know what, Josh? Honestly Wow. I was

That was the most captivated I've been in all the auditions so far. Thank you. Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm very emotional and you really touched me. I I every word you sung.
