Sosoliso plane crash survivor, Kechi Okwuchi once again impressed the America’s Got Talent judges after her rendition of Donny Hathaway’s ‘Song for You’.
She has moved on to the next round which is the live shows.
The judges, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Mel B and the guest judge Seal gave her a standing ovation.
Cowell said after her performance:
What I can say for sure is you deserved your place here tonight, not just on your story, but on your talent. That’s the truth tonight
She shared a post saying she watched the show with fellow burn survivors and she thanks the judges for saying the words she needed to hear. She wrote:
Tonight was overwhelming…idk. I got to watch the show with all the @shrinershospitals kids, fellow burns survivors, and it was just so fulfilling…and now. Live shows, huh. I’m just so grateful to God, guys, for allowing me to get this far, and I’m eternally grateful to Seal and Simon for saying the words I needed to hear: that I deserved to be on the show based on my voice, not just my story.
And thank YOU all, for being with me through this journey and finally, thank you @agt !! Cos even if it ends here, my dreams have already come true! @howiemandel @heidiklum @officialmelb@simoncowell @tyrabanks.
