You know that when Simon Cowell, the infamously harsh judge of American Idol and now America’s Got Talent, jumps out of his chair to applaud, that you have got a singer worth listening to. Cowell’s whole shtick (or maybe it’s truly just him, the world may never know) is being sometimes outrageously harsh to beloved singers on his various reality/competition shows. He’s kind of the “bad cop” of the judging table, if you will. So when he says “I love everything about you,” to the singer in the video below, you know you HAVE to hear her sing!

Calysta Bevier is a 16-year-old from Ohio. Months before auditioning for America’s Got Talent, Calysta was announced cancer-free after battling Stage 3 ovarian cancer.

That made her audition song choice, Fight Song, that much more powerful to hear. Seriously, I dare you not to tear up a little listening to her beautiful voice sing this deeply relevant song.

After being singing her lovely song, Calysta was given Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer – for those who don’t watch the show, each judge is given one chance to send someone straight to the final round with their “Golden Buzzer.”

This kind, extremely talented teen, who has gone through so much, certainly deserved not just the praise of the judges, but this ultimate praise from the toughest judge of all!

Well done, Simon, well done.
