When tragedy strikes, it can captivate a nation or the entire world. This is especially true when something as serious as a plane crash occurs. Even if we aren’t directly involved with the accident, we watch as the event unfolds and the news continues to come in. It’s an unfortunate reality that tragedy does happen in our lives so when it happens to others and it is on the news, it is only natural that we would find some interest in it. After the news calms down, however, we tend to forget about those who were directly involved.
Kechi is just such an individual. She was only 16 years old when she was in a plane crash that took 107 lives. Her life was spared but she suffered severe burns and had to go through some 100 different surgeries as a result of those difficulties. When she suffered from such an ordeal, she decided that nothing was going to hold her back in life. She set her sights on America’s Got Talent and on August 8, 2017, she appeared before the judges to sing a song.
She decided to sing the song, Have a Little Faith in Me. As she begins singing, you can hear the smoothness in her voice and the power that she has behind her. The judges are absolutely stunned at what they are hearing.
Even the crowd is amazed at the performance and they continue to cheer while she is singing. When she finishes the song, she watches closely to see what happens and the entire audience jumps to their feet. As it turns out, the judges also jumped to their feet for an amazing standing ovation.
