Natalie Bassingthwaite in tears over emotional AGT act

Indigenous musician Mitch Tambo moved all of Australia with a rendition of John Farnham’s You’re the Voice sung in his traditional language on Australia’s Got Talent last night, but none more so than guest judge Nathalie Bassingthwaite.

Guest judging the semi-final last night, Nat was moved to tears by the powerful performance from Tamworth artist Mitch, who wowed the crowd with the powerful take on the anthemic Aussie classic.

Translating all the lyrics into his traditional language, Gamilaraay, Mitch performed the song with didgeridoo accompaniment, and a traditional headpiece and body paint.

Swapping to the song’s original English just once at the end, Mitch had every judge on their feet, and one in a puddle of tears, with the powerful semi-final performance.

Nat hold back tears for the golden buzzer

The final judge to share her comments, Nat audibly choked up as she delivered her thoughts.

“You are the new voice of our generation. I love you,” she told Mitch.

Egged on by the other judge’s, she backed up her comments with the show’s highest honour - the Golden Buzzer that propels Mitch through the voting process, and straight to the grand final.

It’s the second time the musician has earned himself a gold buzzer, the first coming from Nicole Scherzinger for an original song back in August.

After the golden confetti showered the stage, the 29-year-old spoke candidly about his mission on the show, and the message he was trying to spread.

“My purpose is to keep our culture alive and to empower our youth because I want all youth today to walk tall, be proud of their background, their culture, their language and where they come from,” he said.

Natalie wasn’t the only judge to gush over the performance, Shane Jacobson revealed his confidence that John Farnham himself would be proud of Mitch’s rendition.

“John Farnham would love that version,” he said. “Well done, you smashed it!”
