Amanda Mammana, Nicotine Dolls, Journeyy, and Steve Ray Ladson are just some of the top orignal artists that performed their original songs on the America's Got Talent stage!
What is your name?
My name is Amanda. Hi Amanda, and how old are you Amanda?
I'm 19 years old. Where are you from? I'm from Connecticut. Okay, and what are you gonna be doing for us tonight?
As you could probably tell I have a bit of a
Speech impediment, um and
It was definitely something that caused me to
To shy away and to hide but I found that I
Had that I don't stutter
When I sing oh wow is it going to be a song we know is it an original
I will be singing a song that I wrote and it's just about some
hard times and
If I could go back and
Change those things I wouldn't hit
Because they made me me
Well, I cannot wait to hear good luck, I hope she's good
Okay
I still remember that kid afraid to open the door
Now she's grown and she doesn't keep that fear anymore
It was kept in a box and it locked she held the
But now the box is locked and the key is nowhere to be seen
But what if I
Could go back in time
And change the way I felt about my life. Oh
But then would I
Still have inside
Everything that brought me back to life I
Still remember that kid wanting to be more
But now she knows that she's worth more than what she's been told
She tried her best to be best and just forget the rest
But the rest is the best and it's what you get. So just let go
But what if I
Could go back in time
And change the way I felt about my life
Oh, but then would I
Still have inside
Everything
They brought me to
I see you're really emotional. What do you what are you thinking? It's just crazy. I couldn't
there were times when I was a kid where I was like
Like I can never do anything like this. Like I'm not good enough
Good enough doesn't explain what we just heard. It's not only good
It's great and look how you're moving this audience, and I believe you're moving millions of people right now
I just want to say thank you
What did you think Heidi?
You have a really really beautiful voice. I love your voice. There's a fire inside of you, and I want to see more of it
I loved it. I thought it was so authentic. Thank you for having the guts to follow your heart
I mean, come on
I mean look it's and you spoke to us very honestly about the issues you have with your speech and it's terrifying
Auditioning when you don't have an issue like that and then you were amazing
I mean your voice is so pure so beautiful and also you're a good songwriter and I think you're an incredible person
But now that audience did that I feel proud
Tell me a little bit about yourself Gina Bellina. Well, the great thing is that I'm here. That is the great thing
They take it is that I'm here with my granddaughter
Is the reason I'm here why is that behind my back she signed me up
You didn't know you weren't no, I only know like two days before I was supposed to come here that's amazing
So you signed her up? I did. I signed her up behind her back
I wasn't sure if she was gonna be mad
But I just felt like if I told her beforehand she might get psyched out and not do it. So luckily she was excited
You're gonna make me cry even before I sing the song
Okay, I know
I cared for a father, too. I've no
for a sister
and a brother
so true
for the mountains
Hang on a second Liliana, did you write that song?
She wrote it wrote the song. Oh
Liliana
Do you sing I do?
Can I hear you sing it? You want to hear me sing that song? Yeah
Or a different song whatever you want
Now it's your turn
That's a lot of pressure, right? Well, you know what? Let's do it. I
Know from a distance. I know love like someone's
I know
That merely walks away
too
Also true
In the oceans
Honestly
Liliana
You got Gina here, but weirdly Gina got you here
so because
You've got the better voice
Yes, definitely you have and you're actually very cool and I like you and I think people are gonna root for you
So as long as Gina you're prepared to let Liliana sing this could work
I'm sorry, Gina. Your granddaughter has a beautiful boy
Gorgeous voice
Singing-wise, I thought you sounded good, but I have to be honest and you didn't quite get there for me. Sorry
Sophia I like that Simon told you to sing because we would have never known that you had this beautiful beautiful voice
Okay, let's vote Howie it's a yes from me it's a definite no for me I'm so sorry

And to give a normal job before you were making music before this job

It's fantastic cleaning houses, but the second one if you're watching, I'm sorry that I did that to your house

No, sob was a term used to make fun of kids who came from Latin descent
But don't speak a lot of Spanish. I do speak Spanish, but I grew up in an Argentine household in America
So I never felt like I belonged in either culture. So this is for everybody who doesn't feel like they belong

Seriously, I thought maybe you're gonna tell some jokes do some mining or whatever
And I should really like the song

How can I see with all this purple smoke and
The music soft and calm now that I'm it feels wrong. Hope that you enjoyed this song
You roll the dice
Now you're on thin ice
Hear the bugs don't buy automatic lullabies purple clouds in the sky. Welcome to my paradise
Birds I don't fly people who can never die
Raindrops when you cry
Am I here? I feel a slight emotion of fear. I'm fearful. Yes, indeed
That's pretty much all the things I've seen
The bugs don't buy automatic lullabies purple clouds in the sky welcome to my paradise

Welcome everybody
You just a swine, make sure that you hear a lot
I've been steady working on this fight for a minute
All up in the kitchen making a few dishes
Competition missing, I don't really see them stepping up
Most of these boys step to us
Most because we running amok, money weeping
Run it up, earn respect
Turn this down, underground
For anybody telling boys
We the best
We the ones to let you know that
We the ones to rock your soul
We the ones that's got the flow like
Yuh, yuh, yuh
I mean wait, heroes shouldn't be doing what you doing
What?
You know what, just show them my boy
Alright then
Well here's something I like
That's destruction, bullet with some butterfly wings
We're just smashing pockets, we grab your function
And leave you with just reduction
So when we blowing up, don't call it no gas combustion
That I do, take this beat once or
Everyone I know making moves
Don't switch spoons, rhymes like this can't lose
Nah, what?
We the ones to let you know that
We the ones to rock your soul
We the ones that's got the flow like
Yuh, yuh, yuh

You're so cool
We're gonna vote, Howie
Yes
That is your fourth yes
Well, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Welcome, where are you from?
Mississippi
Yes, our name is Chapel Hart
Okay, and what does that mean?
We grew up in a small community called
Hart's Chapel, it's the name
It's named after our family because there's way too many of us
Okay, so how do you know each other?
So Danica and I
Are sisters and she is our first cousin
And
Because I
I used to love
American
Girl bands
You know from around about the 90's
Girl bands
You wanna bring that back?
Yes
And tell me
Where you see yourselves in 5 years time
If you do one on the show
World domination
I like that
Who is the biggest diva?
Danica
No hesitation on that one
She's the most dramatic
Well you gotta have a diva
In a group, you have to
So tell me what you're gonna sing and why you chose it
So we're gonna sing
It's an original song
It's called You Can Have Him
Jolene
And we've always been country music fans
And Dolly is by far our favorite
We were so inspired by the song Jolene
And we just love the storyline
And we figured though from 1973 to 2022
We could not still be fighting over the same man
So
We decided to tell her you can just have him Jolene
I love that
Okay well look
2-3 minutes literally can change your life on this show
Let's see what's gonna happen
Let's try
Since the last song
I've had time to think it over
A lot of tears
A lot of beer
A lot of wine
My phone stopped ringing
But he'd leave the room and answer every time
Didn't seem so easy
With that broken glass in pieces
You holding me
And saying you were wrong
Well I'm tired of second chances
These sad, sad circumstances
He's your problem
I'm good luck keeping him home
Oh Jolene
Much to me
Well I've cried so much
Till rivers turn to seas
Oh Jolene
You'll surely
Need me
Well you can have
Him Jolene
Somebody get out Jolene tonight
I cried for money
And those wedding bells stopped ringing
I took my keys
And threw them at his door
You gave me all I need
What woman
Could ask for anymore
Oh Jolene
Much to me
Well I've cried so much
Till rivers turn to seas
Oh Jolene
You'll surely
Need me
Like he did me
Well you can have
Him Jolene
Oh Jolene
