The quarterfinals will conclude on Season 20 of America’s Got Talent during the Tuesday, September 9, episode. Eleven more acts will take the stage, and one of them will be Cole Swensen.
The shy singer auditioned for the show with a rendition of Coldplay‘s “Viva La Vida,” which nearly brought him to tears. He was joined by his mom, Judy, who previously gave up her own dream of a music career, for the performance. Judy played cello while Cole strummed a guitar and sang.
Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B., and Sofia Vergara all loved the performance and gave Cole four yeses to move on in the competition. He was then selected as one of 44 quarterfinalists after the audition round ended.
