The auditions portion of America’s Bought Expertise is all the time an thrilling time to tune in to NBC. Within the newest episode (obtainable streaming with a Peacock Premium subscription), a singer/firefighter took the stage with an unique track that he wrote for his ex-wife, with the twist that he’s nonetheless very a lot in love along with her. Heidi Klum determined that they might get Religion on the telephone, and his romantic gesture with the unique track grew to become all of the grander. It was a really candy audition, however I’m in the end glad that there wasn’t a fairy story ending earlier than he stepped off the stage.
Trent Toney spends his days as a firefighter in Oregon, however he brazenly informed the judges (and subsequently your entire viewers within the theater and watching from house) that he’s nonetheless very a lot in love along with his ex-wife and needs her again “yesterday.” As a result of my coronary heart isn’t manufactured from stone and I’m an AGT fan, I after all liked the love story as quickly as he informed his aspect. I’m not the one one, as Heidi Klum ran as much as the stage to FaceTime Religion in order that she may watch his efficiency. Klum, who would hit her golden buzzer later within the night time, was his cheerleader to Religion.
It was all very candy, and really straightforward to root for Trent Toney… besides that the pictures of the telephone with Religion on FaceTime made me really feel sympathetic for her as properly. She clearly wasn’t ready for a video name from a supermodel/AGT choose and was placed on the spot in entrance of hundreds of individuals and cameras. I discovered myself hoping that no person was going to ask her to offer him a “sure” or “no” proper there whereas he was on stage, when her choices had been mainly “sure” or “be booed.”
Once more, I don’t have a chilly, useless coronary heart, so I hoped for an replace that possibly they’d reunited off-screen afterwards with out an viewers watching, and it was doable because the auditions don’t air dwell. There was an replace, however simply not of probably the most fairy story kind. Based on the episode:
Religion loved Trent’s track… however they’re nonetheless not collectively.
That replace made me all of the happier that Religion didn’t really feel pressured to offer a solution whereas FaceTiming along with her ex-husband and Heidi Klum. In spite of everything, we don’t know the circumstances of their previous or current relationship, and it didn’t should be sophisticated with an enormous viewers.
Trent Toney did a tremendous job, and I’d say that he undoubtedly deserved to be superior to the following spherical of competitors… and I may be blissful for him with out feeling unhealthy for his ex-wife having to offer him a solution on stage. I additionally agree with Simon Cowell that it was very courageous of him to return on stage and brazenly admit to form of lots about his private life! Take a look at the efficiency:
Will Trent Toney proceed successful over the judges and audiences to have a shot on the $1 million grand prize? Solely time will inform on that entrance, though he doesn’t have the bonus of a golden buzzer to advance him straight to the dwell exhibits with quite a lot of fanfare, and golden buzzer winners usually turn into AGT champions.
