Stepping onto the stage in the seventeenth season of America’s Got Talent was the absolutely astounding Lily Meola, who set out to astonish not only the AGT judges but also every single member of the audience with her breathtaking rendition of the song «Daydream.»
Prior to her powerful performance, Lily Meola had a deeply emotional and profound conversation with judge Simon Cowell. This conversation, in many ways, set the stage for the mood that would envelop Lily Meola during her act.
She shared, «I composed ‘Daydream’ during a period when everything in my life was unbelievably beautiful, and I was simply savoring the present moment.» Before the young performer could delve deeper into her story, the emotional impact took everyone by surprise.
Following her mother’s heartbreaking cancer diagnosis, Lily Meola took a temporary step back from the music scene to care for her ailing mother, who sadly lost her battle with the illness.
All of these life-altering experiences significantly shaped Lily Meola’s journey, pushing her to continue pursuing her destiny. In this case, that destiny led her to the grand stage of AGT, where a 27-year-old singer shared her incredible talent.
Following her soul-stirring rendition of «Daydream,» the audience in the hall could hardly contain their excitement. Lily Meola graced the stage to an overwhelmingly heartfelt round of applause, receiving high praise from all four judges.
Heidi Klum, deeply moved by Lily Meola’s performance, couldn’t help but let out a resounding cheer. This means that Lily Meola would swiftly advance to the talent show’s live semi-final competition. It was a beautiful and well-deserved beginning for such a remarkably talented singer.
