Just three months before taking the stage at Australia’s Got Talent, a 14-year-old boy named Fletcher Pilon suffered a terrible tragedy. His little brother Banjo, just 10-years-old, passed away in front of him.

Banjo and Fletcher were skateboarding together like they normally did, when Banjo was tragically struck by a car. Sadly, Banjo later died from his injuries. Fletcher was absolutely devastated.

Fletcher, although grieving, wanted to do something to make sense of the loss and help him cope. It would also be a dedication to his little brother whom he loved dearly. He wrote a song called “Infinite Child.”

Before the 14-year-old was seconds into the song, the entire room was already tearing up. His story was so sad and touching. They knew that they were about to witness a very emotional performance.

Read On to see and hear Fletcher’s beautiful, but heart-wrenching song that he dedicated to this late little brother. It’s beyond moving.

A couple of years ago, you might have come across a video on YouTube of a young man named Gary Barker. It went viral because his rendition of ‘Uptown Funk’ at a bus stop inspired total strangers to show off their dance movies.

Since then, he had gained a bit of attention and fame in his hometown of Liverpool; he even sings regularly at the local pubs around town. That’s why his fans were so excited when they found out he’d be a contestant on the X-Factor.

When Barker, 30, walked on the stage, he was hoping to wow the judges and make his two kids proud. He told the judges he’d be singing ‘Uptown Funk;’ the same song that had catapulted him into the YouTube spotlight in the first place.

Whether it was his nerves or the intimidating feeling of Simon staring you down, Barker’s performance ended just as soon as it began. The moment he began to sing, he was lacking the same energy he had years ago. The judges told him to stop.

The audition continues as Barker pleas to the judges to have a second chance. He tells them that his nerves had indeed gotten the best of him. Simon looks at him intently.

Serena Rigacci is from Pisa, Italy; at the time of the video you’re about to see, she was just 11-years-old. She’s a gorgeous young girl who has accomplished more in her short years than many people do in a lifetime. When you see her talent as an 11-year-old, you’ll know why.

She was born in 2003 and began singing almost as soon as she could talk. It was on the 4th season of the Italian musical variety show called Ti Lascio Una Canzone (I’m Leaving You A Song), that she got her start.

She’s performed songs in front of large crowds time and time again. After appearing on Ti Lascio Una Canzone, she went on to win multiple events like another popular Italian show called Punto su di Te (Point on You.)

Today, Serena is 14-years-old and she’s still crushing it. However, it was her audition on the Romanian ‘Next Voice’ TV series in 2011 that really blew people away. Not only did she sing her chosen song perfectly, but the song she chose was impressive in and of itself.

She’s just an 11-year-old, but she chose to sing one of the most difficult songs to have ever been written — Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You.’ Whitney Houston had one of the greatest voices of our lifetime — could she really pull it off?

Not only would she pull it off, she would knock the crowd, and the audience, off their feet. After only two words, everyone’s jaws were dropped to the floor.
