dream is to When America's Got Talent as a singer. As a singer. Yes. Who do you compare yourself to? I don't compare myself to anyone. I Think that's good. As Simon always says, he looks for somebody who's original, somebody who we can hear something we've never heard before. Is that what we're about to hear? Hopefully. Yes. I hope so, too. I like the whole look. It's like a little Audrey Heppern. Oh, thank you. Um, my hair wasn't really like my choice. Um, I'm a survivor of Stage three ovarian cancer. No way. Yeah. I kind of
came here today to show people that no matter what you've gone through to keep chasing your dreams. Oh, what a great method. Wow. You're an inspiration. We can't wait to hear you. Good luck. Thank you. You can feel my heart breaking out of my say it's going to be okay. Like a small boat On the ocean, sending big words into motion. Like how a single word can make a heart open. I might only have one match, but I can make an explosion. And all those things I didn't say were wrecking balls inside my brain. I
will scream them loud tonight. Can you hear my voice this time? This is my fight song. Take back my life. Oh, I want my power turned on. Starting right now, I'll be strong. I'll play my fight song. And I don't really care if nobody else believes like a small boat on the ocean sending big words into motion. Like how a single word can make a heart open. I might only have one match, But I can make an explosion. [Music] [Applause] You know, you have gone through an obstacle far greater than anybody much older than you
could even imagine going through. And then you come to this point and you make choices. And you made the choice of singing that song and that's your fight song. And it was so heartfelt and so inspirational. I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much. It was amazing. Your tones and the the way that you fell off the note was just on point. Couldn't have gone any better for you, I don't think. Thank you. You do have a beautiful voice and I can't believe that you're only 16 years old. I mean, it's incredible.
Well done. Thank you, Kistas. I love everything about you. Thank you so much. Just you know what? I just had this feeling when you walked out. I can't explain it. Just your spirit, the choice of song, your voice. Uh I think you're really special. I've just got this really incredible feeling about you. Thank you. I really do. That means so much coming from you. Telling you a lot coming from Simon. I think everyone in this room felt it. And I think that look, you were nervous. I could hear that. Um, but you know, you get
past this stage, I predict great things are going to happen for you. There's something about you. Thank you. Sorry, I've got to do this. And we'll rise up [Applause] in the rise and we'll do it a thousand times again. [Applause] Thank you. You say good job. Thank you. Hello. Hello. I know who you are. I think I know who you are, too.

I got the music. [Applause] [Music] I got the [Applause] [Applause] Heat. [Music] Thank you, Darcy. I think that you are absolutely fantastic. I'm glad you didn't abandon Patunia all the way because this is how we fell in love with you. I feel bad for her. I'm so happy also that you're back here
on our stage. Thank you, Mel. What did you think? Your beauty is you and Patula's Patula's voice. Patula's voice and your voice. Patunia, you you know who I mean. Patunia. Pat, I can't say Patunia.

And I just feel like the music and everything else overshadowed what you're so good at. I don't agree. I don't agree. You know what, Darcy? I'm going to agree with Mel. And I'll tell you why. There are very few people
in the world who can do what you do. The singing and the ventriloquism together is your what I call USP, your unique selling point. And I think we were distracted away from what you do so brilliantly. The good news is it's not down to us, it's down to the audience. Thank you. [Applause] Do you think you took a really really big risk in stepping away from Patunia? It's definitely different, but it's just a new part of me and that's why I did it.

You better be careful. I got in a car wreck the other day. My car flipped eight times. I'm lucky to be alive. Blessed, right? Yeah. She black by the way. Everyone
around us was like, you know, that was that is crazy that your car flipped eight times. You're alive. You Are blessed. You know, and I'm I'm over here thinking, who the heck counted, right? Like who's that calm when their car is flipping in the air? One. like who's doing that? My name is Preacher. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. That's it. That's it. That's No, we need more. We need more. That's for sure. Preacher, can I have just one more joke? All right. Uh I don't feel safe driving With my grandma cuz she's really
spiritual. She loved the Lord to the point where she's not afraid of dying. So, I don't like that. All right. I don't like being in the car with someone that's not afraid of death. Okay? Like she got that attitude like if I die, I'm going to heaven, so it don't matter. I'm like, it does matter cuz I'm in the car. Okay? This how spiritual my grandma is. If I Got shot in the chest with a gun eight times instead of her calling the ambulance, she would get on her knees praying like, "Please, Lord Jesus, I
get these eight demons outside my grandbab's chest. Let the borders rise up and part ways from his chest like Moses to the Red Sea. Yes, Lord. Let the blessings rain down. Yes, Lord. Leo John 3:16. [Applause] Oh, Well, I remember this guy before. That is always funny. I love you. I love this guy. Preacher Lawson. Hey, what's up, Howard Mendelle? Are you happy that he picked you? I am.

But like, you know who else does really bad impressions? Uh, English people when they do American accents. It's bad, too. They always do the same accent. I'm from America. Every time they do that one or they do like I'm American, right? Or the third one is yo yo yo my man. And I'm like I wonder what race he is. You know they just assume all black
people in America sound like DMX for some reason. American the better one. I got to pee. All right. I don't know how to transition. I'm just letting you know. I got to pee. I got to pee. You ever have to pee like real bad? Like you know real bad. You at a public restroom. Right. Right. And instead of it saying Like men and women they try to be creative. If it's like a boat and a fish, you like which one? Everyone's walked into the wrong restroom. Every woman in here has walked in and been like,
"When they put urine on inside the restroom." And every dude has walked in like, "Is that a couch?" They got a couch. Is that a vending machine? What kind of candy is that? That's some weird candy. They got lotion. Why they got lotion inside the restroom? Can't have lotion in the men's restroom. Oh. Oh, yeah. You know, cuz we're not going to use it. It's a waste of lotion. What are y'all laughing at? What were y'all laughing at? It's funny cuz women are cleaner than men until it comes to your restroom. I went into a
woman's restroom. I seen pee on the toilet. Like, I expect that in a men's restroom, fellas. How many times you walked in the restroom and you seen pee on the ground immediately, right? Who's that guy walking in? Oh, man. I was so close. There's always some old dude peeing three feet from the toilet. Like, come on, man. We all know you don't got that much horsepower.
