The AGT singer, Michael Ketterer, has started crying with a message of love during the final season

America has talent Michael Ketterer has been one of the most inspiring candidates in recent history and, during the first evening of the season 13 finale, he received a special message from his lives.

In a pre-recorded segment before going out to compete, Ketterer was brought into a dark room with a video projected against the wall. After sitting down and pressing the game, he was treated to a video montage of messages from friends, family members and other people who love him.

Ketterer works as a pediatric nurse specializing in the mental health problems of minors and some of the parents of the children whom he helped thank him for saving their children and for changing their life.

A couple who relied on Ketterer for emotional support when they lost their daughter several years ago to a man who was inspired to want to become a father by a letter of support that the singer wrote to him 'hospital. videos.

Ketterer – who is the biological father of a teenage daughter and the foster father of five young boys – was already strangled by messages from old friends and former patients. However, when his children shared their own words of support, he could not hold back the water.

"You're just the best father, and I love you so much," said Ketterer's adoring sons nicely, while an overworked Ketterer wiped his tears.

Taking the stage after the pre-taped introduction, Ketterer gave a crude and moving interpretation of the classic "Ain & # 39; t No Mountain High Enough", and while his nerves about the finals were somewhat apparent, he managed performance that earned a standing ovation from the crowd.

The soul song found a particularly strong agreement with Judge Simon Cowell, who gave Ketterer the gold medal in the rounds of the audition. The harsh British judge was almost strangled and struggled to find the right words by giving his opinion.

"I'd like to be able to give your family a million dollars, because you're just a great guy," Cowell said, stuttering at first in what seemed like an effort not to cry. "So many people have talked about you, you were nervous [tonight]but that's what makes you human … you're a great person, Michael.
