Seminary Student Receives Standing Ovation on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT
By Movieguide® Contributor
Pastor’s kid and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary student Lachune Boyd received a standing ovation following her performance on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT.
Simon Cowell told Boyd, “You have a beautiful, beautiful voice and I am really fascinated by you. It was a fantastic audition.”
“You showed us that these walls that people feel like they’re stuck behind, you make them yourself,” longtime judge Howie Mandel added. “You tore down that wall and luckily you did because you made your way right here, and your life is about to change.”
After each of the judges gave Boyd praise on her performance, Boyd quickly received four yes’s to move on to the next stage of the competition.
The Christian Post reported on Boyd’s musical journey from ensemble auditions to a solo audition on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT.
“Unlike auditioning for an ensemble, you are really alone when you are auditioning for AGT. Because it is you, not a group, it was a bit lonelier of an experience for me compared to when I audition for a band,” Boyd said.
Boyd is currently getting her master’s degree at the theological seminary.
“Lachune is nearly finished with her master’s in vocal performance,” said Joseph Crider, dean of the School of Church Music and Worship at Southwestern Seminary. “And not only is she gifted as a singer, she is a deep well in her understanding of aesthetics and the biblical foundations of her art as a singer/musician.”
