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

Another country hopeful has entered the America’s Got Talent competition. During Tuesday night’s (June 20) episode of the entertainment competition show, audiences were introduced to singer and songwriter Dani Kerr.

The country singer from North Carolina hit the stage complete with fringe, hat, boots and her guitar. She alluded to feeling a little anxious about the performance before taking her place behind a standing microphone.

While the first taste of her vocals elicited raised eyebrows from judge Howie Mandel — presumably because of her distinctive sound — it was Simon Cowell who stopped Kerr only a few minutes into her song.

Cowell explained that Kerr seemed nervous, and he wanted to give her another opportunity to really show her talent on stage. He asked if she'd brought another song with her to try out. Thankfully, Kerr said she had another option prepared and launched into an original called "November." Throughout her second attempt, the crowd encouraged the singer with plenty of cheers, as if to try and calm her nerves.
