Hello.
Welcome to America's Got Talent.
Tell us your name.
My name is Ben Waits.
I am 32
and I am from Nashville, Tennessee, originally born in Louisiana.
_ _ [G#] Ben, nice to meet you.
Tell us a little bit [N] about you.
I am a southern gospel singer and a vocal coach.
Okay.
All
right.
And what will you be singing for us today?
I will be singing True Colors.
_ Why
that song?
[F#] The message of the song, I feel, is able to speak to people no matter their
age, their race, their background.
It's able to communicate a message of hope.
[N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] Did you
bring anyone special with you today?
My wife is here, my mom is here, and my grandmother
is here. _ _
[N] _ And they're all standing in the wing?
My wife is on the side, my mom and grandmother
in the audience.
Hi everyone. _
And Ben, do the people you coach know you've auditioned?
No.
Oh.
Why not?
In that time with them, it's all about them.
Okay.
But now, it is all about
you. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You with [D#m] the sad [F#] eyes.
_ Don't be _ [B] discouraged.
Oh, I really am.
[C#] _
It's [F#] hard to take courage
[F#] in a world [G#] full of people.
You can [B] lose sight of it all.
[D#m] And the darkness [C#] inside you [F#] makes
you feel so small.
But I [B] see your true [F#] colors [C#] shining through.
_ I see [F#] your true colors.
_ And
that's why [C#] I love you.
[B] So don't [F#] be afraid.
_ [C#] You [D#m] gotta let them show.
[F#] Your true _ colors [C#] are beautiful.
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ Oh my goodness.
This world [C#] makes you crazy.
[F#] And you've taken all that you can [D#m] bear.
Just [C#] call me up and
I [B] will always [F#] be there.
And I [B] see your [F#] true colors _ [C#] shining through. _
I see [B] your true [F#] colors.
[B] And that's [C#] why I love [B] you.
So don't be [F#] afraid.
[A#m] You gotta let [D#m] them show. _ _
[F#] Your true _ colors.
_ [B] _ _
_ [F#] True colors [C#] are beautiful. _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ [A#] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G#] _ _ [D#] I _ _ [A#] _ _
_ [G] mean, [Cm] you know, you do have so many [D#] emotions and I was feeling them too.
But I'm looking
at Sofia.
Sofia is [G#] bawling her eyes out right now.
Sofia does not [A#] cry.
This is incredible.
I loved it because, you know, it's a beautiful song but you [D#] made it yours and it was special.
[G#] It was different.
Thank you so [D] much.
I loved it too.
[Gm] You have a lot of talent.
Yeah, [Cm] it was beautiful.
What did you think,
Simon?
I think it's so [A] interesting, Ben, the fact that you are a vocal coach [G#] because you
started [D#] really well and then there was a moment in the [A#] middle where I thought, you're kind
of losing [G] this.
And I think [Cm] you sensed that yourself because [D#] suddenly you went into another
gear [Fm] at the end.
There's no such thing as a [G#] perfect audition.
This is just [D#] a great audition.
This is a moment.
[D] This is everything we want.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [G#] Alright, let's vote.
Why don't you kick it off?
[A#] I would love to, Heidi.
Thank you.
[N] Yes. _
