Simon Asks Blind Teen for a Second Song... Then Her Life Changed Forever!

You are one of those rare little diamonds we come across every few years who is naturally born to do this. I've only wanted to be on America's Got Talent since I was little. Are these your parents? Yes. And what are you going to do on AGT? I'm going to be singing and playing a piano. Oh, you're going to be singing. My biggest challenge is people look at me just as a blind person, not as a musician. But when I'm singing, I feel like a superstar. Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready. Just be yourself. Thank you for coming to AGT. What is your name? My name is Putri Ariyani. I'm 17 years old. I'm from Indonesia. Putri, is this your first time in America? This is my very first time. I'm so excited. I love all the things. What is your talent? I am a singer. How long have you been singing? Maybe since I was born. And what is your dream? My dream is being the biggest diva in the world like Whitney Houston and win Grammy Award. Oh, wow. Are you going to school now? Yes, I'm in high school, but I hope that I can get in Juilliard College of Music for my college program. Why AGT? Have you always wanted to come here? I hope that I can win America's Got Talent so I can reach my dream. She's so sweet. Keys good? Yes. Okay, cool. Have fun. We're together in this land Promise we'll forever And now you left me alone You'll find someone better You went that way with her And one thing I know You break my heart, break my heart Make me so down in loneliness You left me when I did Thought you were my person Being my prince, but I was wrong Oh baby, you changed a thing into the wrong You break my heart, break my heart Make me so down in loneliness You break my heart, break my heart Make me so down in loneliness You left me, you left me when I'm in love Why do I hate you? Her voice is amazing. Yes. And you have a father? Yes, I have a father. Very nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Does Petrie have a song? Yes. Do you want to sing a song? Yes. She wants to sing, so do you. Yes, I do. Well. Another song? You didn't like that one? I just said to Petrie, I like her voice so much. Thank you so much, Simon. I want her to sing a second song, please. Special for you, Simon. Well, thank you. What do I do to make you love me? What do I gotta do to make you care? What do I do when lightning strikes me? Wake to find that you're not there What do I gotta do to make you want me? What do I gotta do to be heard? What do I say when it's all over, baby? Sorry seems to be the hardest word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over? Oh, it seems to me Sorry seems to be I feel so excited. I can't. Actually, I can't be here now. It was an angel. Thank you so much. You just used the word, you know. A lot of people don't believe in angels, and I think one just landed on our stage. Thank you. You're a superstar. You sounded so beautiful tonight, especially the very first song that you sang, like how you switched from your chest voice to your head voice, like how you... Sorry. That's my original song. Oh, wow. That's even more amazing. That was so good. We're all feeling the same thing. Seventeen, you write songs, you've got an amazing distinctive voice. Thank you so much. I mean, really, really good. You have a kind of a glow about you. And tell me about, you're waiting for something at your school. I really want to go to Juilliard. Okay. I don't know whether this is going to make a difference or not. However, he's standing up. I'm going to send a flood. I'm going to drown them out. This is brave. This is bruised. This is who I'm meant to be. This is me. Why did you push this golden buzzer? Because she's brilliant. I won't let go, baby. This is who I'm meant to be. This is me. Going to America's Got Talent is my dream since I was a kid because I think that singing is the best way for me to express myself. And ATT can help me to do it, like, for my whole life. You've got an amazing distinctive voice. He's standing up. Suddenly, there's a blast. What is that, I think? And then people cheer. I only realised there's a golden buzzer when the confetti falls to my body. I don't believe it. It's true. There's the gold. I'm so grateful and I don't want to waste this chance. So, for the live shows, I chose this song because I connect to the lyric. For me, this song is about my biggest challenge. When people look at me just as a blind person and not as a musician, I want to break a stereotype. I think if I can win America's Got Talent, it will come true. Through the fields Only to be with you But I still have what I'm looking for I believe in the kingdom come Then all the colours will bleed into one Bleed into one But yes, I'm still running You broke the bonds and you lose the chains Can't rip the crowns Oh, my shame You know I believe But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for What I'm looking Putri Ariani! Simon! Putri, I'm actually kind of speechless right now. Look, you know what? What I was thinking was, first of all, what a beautiful voice you've got. What a beautiful version. Honestly, Putri, this is why I still do this job for moments like this, genuinely. Because that was so beautiful. And I do want to thank you two because they don't clear their songs. I understand this. A lot of bands don't clear their songs. But they cleared this song for Putri to sing because they saw her audition and they knew how much this would mean to her. And I cannot thank you enough because I think you've just hopefully changed this girl's life. Thank you so much. Sofia. I don't think I've ever heard something more beautiful in my life. Spectacular. Every note, the feeling, what you were like, I mean, making us feel, it was amazing. One of my favorite songs of all time. This was the perfect, perfect, perfect act. Heidi. You sounded so beautiful. And I thought to myself, this is probably what it sounds like when an angel is singing. Literally. Gets to hear this. And I wish you all the luck. I mean, you have a stunning, stunning, stunning voice. Quick comment, Howie. Perfection. Thank you so much. Mmm. I can't lie. No more of your darkness. All my pictures Seem to fade to black and white Going tight And time stands still before me Close the door And left me blinded by the light It's always someone else I see Losing everything It's like the sun going down Sun going down It's always someone else I see Just another fragment of your life Losing everything It's like the sun going down On me Putri Ari. Simon, your golden buzzer. Well, Terry, you know, it's got nothing to do, actually, with the fact that I gave her the golden buzzer. I think any one of us would have given Putri the golden buzzer. It's just that one of those rare little diamonds we come across every few years who is naturally born to do this, and you've overcome so much in your life to hopefully fulfill your dream on this show, and boy, after that, do you deserve it. Thank you. Every single time, in every round, you have hit it out of the park. Your voice, as I said last time, is perfection. Your talent is perfection. I love your choices. The question that I have, if this was, and I have no doubt in my mind, if this was just a singing competition, I think you just won it hands down. The fact is, you're competing against a lot of great people, so let's see how America chooses. Heidi. It's such a moving performance. You could have not done it any better. You really, really did an amazing job. You sounded beautiful. Thank you so much. Putri, you just performed on the finals. What is the message you have to give to the world? I believe that we are able, we are capable, and we are equal, so don't be afraid. Keep reaching your dream. Our dream will come true if we believe it. Good luck today, Putri. I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In our lifetime And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anyway Away from here Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you, dear As if you have a choice Even if you cannot speak a voice to say Putri Ariana and Leona Lewis Now, Leona, when you were starting out, you won a massive singing competition, so you know exactly what Putri's going through right now. What do you want to say to her? First of all, I want to say you're just incredible and you're an absolute gift to the world and you inspire me with your voice and I'm so, so honored that I get to sing with you. Just enjoy every single second. Don't listen to anything Simon has to say. Just ignore him. You are so incredible. Thank you. It's such an honor to sing with you. Amazing. Leona is about to head out on her Christmas tour all across the U.K. One more time for Putri Ariana and Leona Lewis. Always the only black girl surrounded by white guys and white guys, you guys will not ask me out. I don't know why. I do everything I'm supposed to do. I watch Seinfeld. I watch Friends. I listen to Coldplay. What the hell do you guys like? I want some Caucasian cuddling up in here. I don't know what I got to do. Numbers are so hard for me. So hard. When I first met my girlfriend, by the time I gave her my phone number, it was our anniversary. I read a woman knows a minute after she meets a guy if she's going to sleep with him. A minute? Because I was at a bar. I went up to this woman. I said, hi, my name's Gary. She walked away immediately. I know. I was like, excuse me, I have 57 seconds left. As an Indian, I cannot go back to the dating scene. I'm not anybody's number one draft pick. Let's be honest, right? I've been there, man. I was with this young lady. She was like, hey, you want to go back to my place? I was like, hell yeah. I go back to her place. She had me fix the computer while she passed out on the couch. I was like, really? So now when a guy takes me out, he's like, so tell me about yourself. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna. I'm like, well, I divorced my husband after only eight months of marriage. He had a heart attack and died the same day as Michael Jackson. I am thousands of dollars in student loan debt. I've been arrested for stalking. I was kind of a tramp in college, and I used to shoplift in high school. Chicken or fish?
