Looks damn good for 37.

ETA: how the hell is this a feel good story. This saddens the hell out of me about their circumstances

May be true that she's an amazing human, and she may be a great singer (haven't watched the video). But AGT has become insufferable with this shite. It's now america's most heart warming story. They can only fit in one audition between each commercial break cause you have to listen to 5 minutes of either the guy who's adopted 19 special needs kids and works 3 jobs to make ends meet for them because he just cares so much...he also is pretty ok at guitar...GOLDEN BUZZER!!! Or the group of guys from rural India, we are so poor and live in a town with no water, no hope, people die around us...but we just want to dance. One mediocre dance later...GOLDEN BUZZER!!!
Long rant, but wife is still glued to it and it drives me nuts

Agreed. I love seeing some of the acts, but it wasn't worth all the fluff. I can see highlights on Youtube if someone's really worthy.

Well, if you get bored today, maybe watch the video. I'll bet you change your mind this time

I just hate how they've prioritized a SOB story over talent. There are still some insanely talented people on there, but a majority make it through really deep simply for having a sad story.

Did they pick her?
Not sure how the show works

That was a sad story, she’s a pretty tough lady & glad to see him making improvement

That was the first audition, and they put her through to the next round. But she's a bigtime talent. Has a great shot at a career, IMO.

You're supposed to feel good that it's not you.

ETA: I think.

It's entertainment, baw. They want you to connect with and root for the people they're featuring.

They didn’t quit tell exactly how the husband was paralyzed. He was known to do standing backflips to sort of show off...he was just joking around and didn’t complete the backflip and ended up paralyzed. Just a terrible accident
