Chicago rock-soul-R&B singer Liv Warfield won Simon Cowell\u2019s \u2018AGT\u2019 Golden\u00a0Buzzer<\/a>\u00a0with an original song.
\nLiv Warfield has worked with the likes of Prince and Nancy Wilson of Heart, but she\u2019s still hoping for the break that will take her career soaring to the top of the charts, and she\u2019s hoping that her appearance on Season 19 of America\u2019s Got Talent will do that for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been on a lot of stages and I\u2019m just glad to be here to be able to do the music and do what I love, to be able to represent that,\u201d Liv told judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara before she rocked the AGT stage. Then she added, \u201cI have been doing this for a long time and the music industry is hard. Things have changed over time. I continue to push because I feel I have a story. I want to inspire people because I haven\u2019t quit, and I won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rock\/soul\/R&B singer who resides in Chicago definitely didn\u2019t quit when her band joined her on stage for an dynamic, no-holds-barred performance of her original song \u201cStare.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the standing ovation ended and the applause died down, Simon told her, \u201cI have a problem. That wasn\u2019t long enough. Seriously, that lyric, wrecking ball, that was how I felt just then. It was like in a good way being punched in the face by your energy, the band, all these years of frustration, and you come on here and I\u2019m sorry, I can\u2019t give you a yes. I\u2019ve got to give you one of these.\u201d And Simon hit the Golden Buzzer, sending Liv and her band directly to the Live Shows before any of the other judges could comment on her performance.<\/p>\n

Then, Simon ran up on stage and hugged Liv, who said, \u201cI\u2019m overwhelmed. Thank you. We\u2019re so grateful. We live for the music.\u201d And Simon added, \u201cGreat things are going to happen after this. It was the least I could do. You just made our show great.\u201d<\/p>\n
