America's Got Talent: Judges left teary-eyed after two moms deliver heartfelt song from ‘Wicked’

Kim from Oregon and Holly from New York, took the stage with a touching story and a beautiful song from Wicked that tugged at the heartstrings of judges Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum. Kim and Holly stepped onto the stage dressed in coordinating outfits, but it was their unique connection that moved everyone. In 2007, Holly's young son tragically passed away, becoming an organ donor in the process. His heart went to newborn Beckham, Kim's son, ultimately saving his life. The mothers shared that Holly's final song to her late son was «For Good» from Wicked, the very song Kim sang to her son after he awoke from his life-saving surgery by pure coincidence.

Even before they sang a single note, the theater was brimming with emotions, and the song «For Good» only intensified the feelings. Judges Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum were moved to tears by the heartfelt performance. The powerful connection between the song, the mothers, and their sons struck a chord with the audience, both in the theater and at home. As the audition continued, Howie Mandel inquired about Beckham, the young man whose life was saved by the organ donation. Beckham then walked out on stage, appearing lively and healthy, prompting an even more emotional response from the audience. The heartwarming reunion added depth to the performance's message and showcased the significance of organ donations. While Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum were visibly moved by the performance, Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell also praised Kim and Holly for their heartfelt rendition of the Wicked song. Howie, who admitted not being a fan of musical theater, commended them for winning him over with their heartfelt delivery.
