Some original songs feel so personal that the judges stop reacting like they’re on a talent show and just sit there completely broken. These performances were written from real heartbreak, grief, love, family, and survival, and you can feel every word before the song is even over.
From Beth Porch’s beautiful BGT song inspired by the children she cared for as a nurse, to Stephanie Rainey’s emotional “Please Don’t Go,” We Three’s heartbreaking tribute to their late mom, and Harry Gardner’s “Not Alone,” written for his nan, these auditions prove how powerful an original song can be. This compilation also features unforgettable moments from AGT and BGT where contestants turned their own stories into songs that left the judges in tears.
