America’s Got Talent welcomed back Michael Ketterer, and the wait was worthwhile!
If you recall, Michael made an early appearance on the program and won the 13th season’s second Golden Buzzer.
In addition to being the father of six kids, several of whom were adopted from foster care, Michael is an expert in pediatric mental health. Why wouldn’t America accept him for that alone?
Michael has a fantastic set of pipes in addition to being a stand-up guy. He thoroughly impressed the judges after his audition, and Simon Cowell immediately sent him to Hollywood!
Michael was able to avoid the Judges’ Cut phase, in which artists were eliminated based on the judges’ opinions, and proceed directly to the live performances after receiving the Golden Buzzer.
Before even taking the stage on American Idol for the second time, Simon had to shout his praises. Simon kept praising Michael nonstop!
He is amazing; in addition to being a brilliant singer, he is a wonderful person. I’m ecstatic. I’m currently ecstatic. I really, really am!

James Bay’s song “Us” was Michael’s selection for his second appearance on the AGT stage. The song has a lot of drama, and Michael’s voice seems to have made it even more so.
All four judges and the entire crowd stood to applaud Michael when he had completed singing.
First, Tyra Banks went to Simon for commentary, but the judge struggled to continue because of his feelings of emotion. Tyra, though, was determined that they wouldn’t pass him by. She pushed Simon to verbalize his feelings.
Michael, look at me, oh my god. I’m really sorry. As a father, I can appreciate why—I couldn’t even fathom what you’ve done, much less being a participant in this scheme. You’re a very special person who desperately needs it. I have no idea what it is about you.
Then, despite his reputation as a strong person, Tyra commended Simon for being willing to show his vulnerable side to viewers at home and in the audience. Being a father has brought out Simon’s kinder side!
Mel B was scribbling on her papers while trying not to cry.
