Firefighter Wants To Win Back Ex-Wife With Sweet Song On AGT

One young man on America’s Got Talent gave a moving and heartfelt performance as he used his audition to try to win back his ex-wife.

Everyone on shows like The Voice, American Idol and America’s Got Talent have reasons for auditioning. Most seek fame and fortune, hoping for a career in entertainment. Others hope to honor a late loved one with their audition. However, one young man had a different motivation for appearing on America’s Got Talent. 

Trent Toney, a 30-year-old firefighter from the Portland, Oregon area, told the judges he hoped to win back his wife with his audition. All the judges were taken aback by Trent’s honesty about his motivation for being on the show. But Heidi Klum took it one step further. 

Heidi walked up on stage and had Trent dial-up Faith, his ex-wife. Faith eventually picks up, Heidi answers and keeps her on FaceTime throughout Trent’s audition. 

After the momentary back-and-forth with the judges, they finally get to Trent’s audition. Trent performed an original song he wrote for and about his former wife, singing and playing the keyboard.

The young man, who desperately hopes to win back his ex-wife, was outstanding. His voice is terrific! The emotion and feeling behind the lyrics were palpable. It’s obvious that he invested a lot of himself into this song, writing and singing about the love of his life.

The studio audience responded by giving the young man seeking to win his ex-wife a well-deserved standing ovation, complete with a thunderous round of applause. 

All four judges also loved Trent’s touching and heartfelt performance. Heidi Klum said Trent sounded outstanding. Simon Cowell commented on Trent’s bravery in opening up and sharing his story with the entire room.

“I thought that was very brave, actually,” Simon said. “I mean, to tell us all of that. I wouldn’t. I seriously wouldn’t.”

In the end, all four judges give the young man four yes votes.

Psalm 95:1 “O come, let us sing to the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation.”
