You’ve probably heard her name before because her performances have been circulating the internet like crazy lately. She’s Mandy Harvey, and she blew people away with her audition on America’s Got Talent.

Why was her performance so special? You might be asking yourself that question right now. After all, there are thousands of people that have auditioned on the show at this point. What stood out about Mandy?
