It’s the audition that promises to be the “performance that Australia will never forget”.
And in a new promo for the soon-to-air Australia’s Got Talent a sneak peek of the performance shows the heartwarming moment a blind contestant auditions – causing the judges to break down in tears.
Introducing his story, singer/ pianist Paul, who is joined by his mother, says, “Music had given me the confidence and the freedom to truly be myself
“I’m blind. Mum does all the running around and I just thank and love her for that.”
Embracing her son, Paul’s mum gives him words of encouragement ahead of the audition.
“You may not have your vision but you’ve got everything else. And you’re using it. You know I’m proud,” she touchingly says.
But it’s what happens next that is the real tear-jerker.

The US-based hitmaker adds: “I mean Australia’s got talent you guys. You’re the reason why I flew here.”
My Kitchen Rules star Manu seems just as impressed and reveals how affected he is by the emotional performance.
Manu Feildel describes the performance as “pure” and “beautiful”.

Paul’s not the only contestant, viewers will be waiting with bated breath to see, however.
