AGT performances below.
Archie Williams - Elton John s Don t Let the Sun Go Down on Me
The Louisiana native explained that he was in prison for 37 years on a false conviction tied to the 1982 rape and stabbing of a white woman. I knew I was innocent. I didn t commit a crime, but being a poor black kid I didn t have the economic ability to fight the state of Louisiana at the trial, Williams said.
He moved the judges (and Elton John himself) to tears with an emotional rendition of the icon s 1974 hit.
Roberta Battaglia - Alessia Cara s Scars to Your Beautiful
