When she begins her song, the transformation is amazing. She becomes a singing diva, filling the auditorium with her wonderful voice. Before long, the judges have tears in their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She sang 1 of the most incredible Stephen Sondheim songs ever written, only meant to be sung by a woman this age who has lived a life. And she sang it with love, and that left everyone weeping at the end with Michelle Visage pressing the Golden Buzzer. Even after all that, Evelyn reckoned she \u201ccould have sung better\u201d \u2013 but everyone thought she was just perfect as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"827\" height=\"915\" src=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-541.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-541.png 827w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-541-271x300.png 271w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-541-768x850.png 768w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-541-600x664.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Her touching rendition of \u2018Send In The Clowns\u2019 brought both the judges and the audience to tears. She showcased her humble personality throughout and was the epitome of grace. The talented great-grandma got a standing ovation and the judges sent her through to the semi-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was not expecting it in a million years. The whole hall stood up and that made me cry. I was so moved by it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In typical \u201cGot Talent\u201d fashion, the octogenarian contestant gathered herself after breaking down in tears and, with her hair still covered in a halo of glitter, says with a wry smile: \u201cI thought that buzzer was going to kill me or something, I\u2019m going to hate going home now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An avid charity worker, the sprightly retiree has a passion for fashion and admits she has been keeping fit by walking on a treadmill in her bedroom \u201cevery day for the last twenty-one years\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evelyn, who has been widowed for 7 years and has 6 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, said she has always loved to sing. Some 7 years since the death of her beloved husband Noel, Evelyn admitted that she is still grieving for her childhood sweetheart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy husband, I miss him like a limb,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was a good man, he was very good. Used to love to hear me sing. He was full of love.\u2019 He was so good to me, so loving. He would have been so proud of me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"322\" height=\"182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4P3uDR6JSHM\" title=\"81-year-old Evelyn stuns the judges | Auditions Week 1 | Ireland\u2019s Got Talent 2018\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Singer Moves Everyone To Tears With 1975 Classic\u201cShe commanded the stage better than anyone we\u2019ve yet seen on the show.\u201dWatch 81-year-old Evelyn Williams\u2019 golden buzzer audition from Ireland\u2019s Got&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category--english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3757"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3760,"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3757\/revisions\/3760"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/istori.website\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
