Simon Cowell has Dani Kerr sing twice... and she NAILS IT! | Auditions | AGT 2023 

When Simon stops someone singing, he's listening very carefully and just knows the person could do and be better with a different song. He's Amazing how he just knows !

I don't know how he knows, but when he asks for a second song, he's always right.

Let's just acknowledge the fact that Simon is the grand old man of talent recognition! He is "Got Talent"

I was envisioning her at a 1969 Woodstock concert. Her voice is nostalgic, yet modern. She is a timeless talent and needs her own records recorded. She is exactly what the music industry needs. She writes her own soulful music and her voice is like a beautiful tree swaying in the wind. She's effortlessly beautiful. Good for her! ❤

Went to school with Dani and watched her play at the local bars! She’s awesome.

So proud of Dani. Seeing her come up from the quiet nights at open mic in Statesville to this is so damn amazing.

I am not a big country music person, but I do enjoy some of it, and for some reason, this girl really made me emotional. Her songs are beautiful! So much soul, so much feeling, and such a special voice. And never to be under-estimated, she writes her own music. That is a huge talent, and a plus for me. She is so sweet and humble too. I wish you the most success, Dani, you are awesome, you deserve it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She has a truly unique voice, which is hard to find these days. I was hooked after the first two words. She's going to be a huge star.

I was so honored to get to open for her at a local little bar about 6 months ago. She is truly a special talent and un replicable. Go DANI!!!!

That is a HIT. She has a writing and singing gift and yes, a distinctive voice that wont get lost in the sea of today's soundalikes. In addition she's an old soul. Beautiful.

Simon can spot what song someone should sing the first time he hears them. Thats a musical genius. She has a beautiful voice. When Simon does this he sees something. It's a huge compliment ❤❤❤

if there ever was a perfect recording voice, this is it. great control and pitch. excellent songwriting. she should be in a recording studio already.

This girl is like if Stevie Nicks and Lainey Wilson had a baby! 🎶🔥👏🏻

Her sound and music is immediately record worthy - only better because it's live. Can't wait to hear more. ❤

Simon is doing his job and more, he just sets the stage for their best auditions. She is a great songwriter and beautiful voice. You can see the kind heart she holds.

When Dani was just getting started, she used to play a few songs while the trio I was working with took their break. Even then, she was obviously incredibly talented and just needed some experience to shine bright and bold, like she did here! Go Dani!

Itʻs really amazing to see how much Simon has changed from those days when he rarely gave a compliment and seemed to enjoy making contestants feel bad with his snide or hurtful comments. (I had a professor from the U.K. like that.) I think having a son he adores made him realize how important encouragement and support are and he would never want anyone saying to his son the awful things he used to say to contestants. Now he is kind and supportive, which is especially meaningful to those who are terrified to be up there and who used to be terrified to hear his comments. Dani was allowed to show her real talent and feel good about herself because of Simon. What a tremendous and positive change!

You just KNOW that when Simon stops someone & asks them to sing a 2nd song that the magic will DEFINITELY flow 👍😁

She got that greatest of all reactions an audience gives when there is that moment.... Of stunned silence.... Just before they roar their approval..... And she totally..... earned it !

Man! She's amazing . Her voice is impeccable. A star has unfolded. Glad Simon sought that out.

I love her voice....I knew she was going to kill it with that second song.

Wow!! I’d go to her concert right now. I hope she keeps going with her music because she’s gonna make it.

Someone one should give this girl a record deal right away. I feel that she can make great records already.

AGT has a very supportive audience, love their positive responses! Judges feedback is awesome! She has the voice to go far!

I LOVE when Simon sees something special in a performer - like Dani - and interrupt...and redirects their performance. He has the knack for seeing the underlying heart of these performers that they are afraid to reveal. Thanks to Dani and Thanks to Simon!

I'm with Simon, she has one of my favorite voices this season also. Her tone and distinctive voice touches me

She overcame a hurdle of shyness and stage fright, and I was so happy for her. She has a beautiful voice and a great southern twang just right for country music.

Everyone here at home is rooting for you Dani! Me and uncle Scott watched it from Oklahoma on vacation. You made us cry! Shoot for the stars sweetheart! ❤ you got this!

Those Words, That Voice … EVERYTHING about her Made Me Smile & Cry Happy tears 🥰🙏🏼☺️🫶🏼🎉

That's why I like Agt because people shows humanity through singing, dancing and so on. Expression of real humanity.

The second song was much more powerful and it brought out her strength emotions and passion. Good for you Simon for according her the second chance.

Now that was incredible. She reminds me of a young Tanya Tucker. Voices like that are impossible to just do, that is genuine, unique natural talent, and the song was fabulous as well. Man! She's the whole package!

That second song had me sobbing. So beautiful.

she sang 5 words and i got chills. i knew she was something special. I love her voice so much

One of the most authentic voices ive ever heard, she is amazing 🖤

LOVE HER VOICE AND THE WORDS OF THIS SONG. I CAN SEE HER IN CONCERT ENTERTAINING THOUSANDS OF FANS.

Her song needs to be on every platform. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I love the silent pause at the very end of the song..Then the roar of the crowd.

I love how supportive the crowd is 🥹

I just found my new IDOL, her voice is AMAZING!!

I don't like singers on agt but this one has my kind of voice. Old school, amazing! Give her an album already, country , ballads, bluegrass

She definitely has a Melissa Etheridge vibe. Beautiful song. Wishing her all the best in her journey. We need more voices like this in the music industry.

She's a local favorite. We all are so proud of her

Favorite part, when the song ended and the crowd was dead silent. She closed her eyes and the crowd exploded. Chills. Love her voice.

She's a hit. Amazing voice.

Whatever song was beautiful, the second one was even more impressive. This woman has a career in the country music business. And I'm looking forward to hearing her songs on the radio. She's beautiful writer as well

I saw her perform on AGT the other night and I love her. I’ve been watching AGT since it started and it’s my most favorite show. I have it recorded so I never miss a show.

She has an exquisite voice and writing style. WOW, SHE’S GOING PLACES ❤❤❤ Simon wanted to see if she was a one hit wonder or had more of the same quality up her sleeve..and she brought it home. WELL DONE!🎉🎉🎉

That second song is an instant hit I swear

Absolutely incredible. She will be a musical icon one day.

She is Grammy worthy and Grand Ole Opry worthy. ❤

I really love her voice. I hope she reaches her goals

She has has a classic yet modern type of music, very unique and a powerful message on the last song, absolutely beautiful.

That moment of silence said it all!

She will stand out in country music with her beautiful voice.

Went and listened to the full song. Tom Petty is smiling in heaven. This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. Saw him 5 times in concert 3 times in front row. Was raised on his music. When he past it felt like I lost a family member and to hear someone honor him in such a beautiful way is just down right awesome. I cried to it and have been sharing it to all my pettyhead friends.

Dani, I am so proud of you. I have tears rolling down my face.! You are so amazing! Way to rep our hometown!❤❤❤

Danny is a good friend of my older brother and played at his wedding. I currently go to the same school as she did and I am so excited to show her support tonight.

Boy do I love Stevie Nicks and the whole of Fleetwood Mac. I'm glad to see young people these days taking on that sound again. Well done Dani 👏🏼 R.i.P Christine McVie ❤ She would have loved this audition.

This woman has what it takes to win the whole season. She's very good.

She has a mixture of different voices that I recognize. I heard Dolly in her voice. Glad Simon had her sing the second song. She is good.

Simon has a real knack of pulling the talent out of people...Simon shows his compassion when he does...❤❤

Loved this performance! 👏 I'm not into country at all but I _love_ her voice, can't wait to hear more. She also has such a beautiful, humble spirit. The real deal. 💕

Knocked it out of the park! What an audition! I hope she wins it!

Who agrees with me that her voice is so reminiscent of Amy Winehouse??!! Simply spectacular

That's a person with that intuitive to spot a star. Simon has a unique talent.

Loved Dani Kerr's voice. Huge new talent revealed. I will pay to hear her music. ❤

Stunning! She has one of those special lifetime kinds of voices. When you hear her, you will always know, "hey that's Dani Kerr!" kind of like Stevie Nicks. You just KNOW it's her!

Love her voice and choices! Wishing her a musical career!

Statesville NC represented!! I loved it.. I’m only an hour away!! Can’t wait for more of Dani!!

Ouviria essa música pra sempre. Combinado com sua voz. Ficou muito perfeito ❤❤

Wow, she is outstanding - no voice like hers..... She's a STAR..... I love her

Loved this girl! Her voice was unique and she just had such a pure voice. I hope she goes far!!

I love her voice, it's real, it's authentic! No autotune necessary with her singing! If these 2 songs are an indication of the kind of music that she writes, I think she's going to be really popular really soon.

In all fairness, she should win AGT. Lots of talent.

Simon is the best judge in the world he always knows what he is doing but audiences always boo first before he says something.

I hadn’t heard her before but she’s definitely got a great voice and her own songs are fantastic. I hope she does well.

This made me so emotional. She's got that way to hook your heart..superb.

Simon is amazing and when he has them sing another song, we know he hit it right.
