Well, the same story has played out over on America’s Got Talent, except Mandy Harvey‘s story is genuinely inspiring. And her tune is great, in spite of and because of her circumstances.
And then she did just that.
#MandyHarvey made me cry as I watched her audition for #AGT Proof that being deaf or being different can’t stop you in living life ????

She even received props from Lady Gaga.

Harvey has since reciprocated that appreciation, making this whole deal even bloody sweeter.
I don’t even know how to say Thank you to everyone for all of the love/support! Hug someone near you…that hug will be from me! #agt #love

She’ll return to the stage for America’s Got Talent’s semifinals. Fuckin’ grouse.
