The 1975 Hit Brings Tears to Everyone’s Eyes Senior Singer Goes to the Stage. She was the first performer on the show to completely own the stage. <\/p>\n
See the golden buzzer performance of Evelyn Williams, 81, on Ireland’s Got Talent. When she starts singing, she completely changes. <\/p>\n
Her voice fills the theater as she transforms into a singing diva. A few tears are shed before the judges even make their decision. <\/p>\n
A woman of her experience and maturity could only have done justice to one of the greatest songs Stephen Sondheim has ever written. <\/p>\n
And her heartfelt performance brought tears to everyone’s eyes as Michelle Visage pressed the Golden Buzzer to declare her the winner. <\/p>\n
Evelyn thought she \u2018could have sang better\u2019 after everything, but her peers deemed her excellent. <\/p>\n
Her performance of \u2018Send In The Clowns\u2019 was so heartfelt that it moved the panel of judges and the crowd to tears. <\/p>\n
She was the paragon of grace and her modest nature shone through the whole time. The judges gave the brilliant great-grandmother a standing ovation, and she advanced to the semifinal round. <\/p>\n
I never in a million years thought that would happen to me. I started bawling when the whole room suddenly rose to its feet. It had such an impact on me. <\/p>\n
Following her emotional breakdown on “Got Talent,” the octogenarian candidate composed herself and said with a sardonic smile,<\/p>\n
\u2018I thought that buzzer was going to kill me or something, I’m going to hate going home now.\u2019<\/p>\n
The active retiree has volunteered extensively in her community, has a penchant for high fashion, and claims to have used a treadmill “every day for the last twenty-one years” to stay in shape. <\/p>\n
Evelyn, who has been a widow for seven years and has six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, has revealed that she has always enjoyed singing. <\/p>\n
While it has been over seven years after Evelyn’s husband Noel passed away, she has acknowledged that she is still very saddened by the loss of her childhood sweetheart. <\/p>\n
I miss my hubby like a limb,\u2019 she sobbed. To paraphrase, \u2018 He was a good man, really excellent. I remember when my singing was a favorite. <\/p>\n
Simply put, he was a man brimming with affection. This man was so kind and affectionate toward me. If he were here, he’d be so pleased with me.<\/p>\n
