Check out this amazing performance where the 1Achord trio puts a gospel spin on the song ‘Everybody Hurts’ for the America’s Got Talent Quarterfinals.
“We’ve been on this wild ride ever since we auditioned for America’s Got Talent,” says one of the members of the group at the beginning of the video.
The three men met just a month and a half before their first AGT audition, but they found something so special when they combined their talents. “They have been my bestest friends ever since we met,” says one of the members. “Not only best friends but brothers.”
“I definitely think that us coming together was just divine intervention,” says another member of the group.
The three men of 1Achord all come from various church backgrounds, and they use music as a way of expressing themselves. They love to create arrangements where they give a gospel-twist to popular songs in a way that people have never heard before.
And that’s exactly what they did when they sang their own soulful rendition of ‘Everybody Hurts’ in this clip!
“When your day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
When you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on
Don’t let yourself go ’cause everybody cries, everybody hurts sometimes”
One of the group members is playing the piano, and they are all dressed up in white. They all sound so amazing individually, and they sound especially wonderful when their voices blend together.
“Wow! I don’t know what I was listening to! It’s like rock stars or gospel singers. It’s a combination of both. It’s spectacular!” says Sofia Vergars after 1Achord finished their performance.
“Well, I think that this has been the best performance of the night so far. I think you guys are just magic. The harmonies, the leads, everything!” Simon Cowell says. “You are so talented.”
What an incredible performance! We hope that you enjoyed watching 1Achord sing their hearts out in this clip today!
