13-Year-Old Evie Sang I Try for Her Dad, and Her Voice Touched Everyone

Evie Clair singing on America's Got Talent

Evie Clair was 13 when she returned to the America’s Got Talent stage for the Judge Cuts. This time she had chosen a song with a very personal meaning, “I Try” by Macy Gray.

When the judges asked what the words meant to her, Evie explained that a lot was happening in her life and nobody knew what would come next. Her father was battling cancer at the time, and she was singing for him. 💛

The judges gently told her to take a minute, but Evie said she was ready. She sang with a soft, steady voice and kept her emotions in check through every line.

When she finished, the room was full of emotion. The judges were moved by both her voice and her strength, and the audience cheered for the young singer and her dad. 🎤
