Reading time: 3 minutes
Birmingham singer-songwriter Pynk Beard took the stage on Tuesday night’s broadcast of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent ” (AGT).
Known behind the scenes for co-writing hit tracks like Alessia Cara’s “Scars to Your Beautiful,” the Birmingham native stepped out as a frontman alongside a live band to perform his original song, “Mine, Lord Willing.”
What the America’s Got Talent judges had to say about Pynk Beard’s audition
Pynk Beard’s performance earned a standing ovation from the crowd and unanimous praise from the entire judging panel:
“Wowza! I just wanna say, this is not my normal, go-to music, but you made me fall in love with this genre of music. I love you all! You made me feel really happy. I love everything about this.”
Mel B
“Loved it, loved it, loved it! That was a perfect audition. Your voice is amazing, the song was amazing, your band is amazing. The energy, the joy that you bring the people is amazing. All of it was what AGT is about.”
Sofía Vergara
“I believe that not only was that a good audition, I believe that we just heard a hit. Go check the charts tomorrow. I bet this song is charting right now.”
Howie Mandel
“That was really, really fantastic. I’m with you, Howie — I think that’s a hit song. Such an amazing feeling when everything goes right: the performance, the band, the song, everything. I just love you.”
Simon Cowell
Vergara and Cowell mourned the fact that they were out of Golden Buzzers since Pynk Beard was the final audition: “If I had one, you’d be getting it,” Cowell said.
The infamously hard-to-impress Cowell also remarked that Pynk Beard was his favorite act of the day.
All four judges voted “yes,” advancing Pynk Beard to the next round of the competition.
‘Mine, Lord Willing’ hits #11 on the iTunes charts
True to Mandel’s prediction, following the episode’s broadcast, Pynk Beard shared on social media that “Mine, Lord Willing” climbed to #11 on the iTunes charts.
While streaming services measure total audio plays, the iTunes chart specifically tracks individual paid digital downloads, serving as a direct reflection of fans purchasing the track.
