I love it 💞

Hello, welcome to America's Got Talent. Tell us your name. My name is Ben Waits. I am 32 and I am from Nashville, Tennessee originally born in Louisiana. Ben, nice to meet you. Tell us a little bit about you. I am a southern gospel singer and a vocal coach. Okay. All right. Will you be singing for us today? I will be singing True Colors. Why that song? The message of the song I feel is able to speak to people no matter their age, their race, their background. It's able to communicate a message of hope. My wife is here, my mom is here and my grandmother is here. My wife is on the side, my mom and grandmother in the audience. And Ben, do the people you coach know you've auditioned? No. Oh, why not? In that time with them, it's all about them. Okay. But now it is all about you. You with the sad eyes, don't be discouraged. It's hard to take courage in a world full of people. You can lose sight of it all and the darkness inside you makes you feel so small. But I see your true colors shining through. I see your true colors and that's why I love you. So don't be afraid. You gotta let them show your true colors are beautiful. And you've taken all that you can bear. Just call me up and I will always be there. I see your true colors and that's why I love you. So don't be afraid to let them show your true colors. Emotions and I was feeling them too, but I'm looking at Sophia. Sophia is bawling her eyes out. Sophia does not cry. This is incredible. I loved it because, you know, it's a beautiful song, but you made it yours and it was special. It was different. Thank you so much. A lot of talent. Yeah, it was beautiful. What did you think, Simon? I think it's so interesting, Ben, the fact that you are a vocal coach because you started really well. And then there was a moment in the middle where I thought you're kind of losing this. And I think you sense that yourself because suddenly you went into another gear at the end. There's no such thing as a perfect audition. This is just a great audition. This is a moment. I would love to, Heidi. Thank you. Yes.
