21-year-old musician, Chase Goehring, recently knocked the judges of America’s Got Talent off of their feet with his musical audition.
Like so many contestants before him, Goehring took to the stage with his guitar in hopes of winning over the judges with his musical talents. Rather than performing a cover of a popular song, the Nolensville, Tennessee native threw the judges and the crowd for a loop by performing his own song.
The Ed Sheeran look-alike proclaimed himself as a songwriter, and he absolutely proved that with his performance. Goehring chose to sing a song that he’d written for his best friend.
He wrote “Hurt” to express his concern for his best friend over the unhealthy relationships she ends up in. Goehring wants to prove to his friend that he’s the right guy for her.
Aside from being a talented singer-songwriter and hopeless romantic, Goehring also showed off one of his other many talents during his performance.
The crowd erupted into cheers when he started rapping a verse of the song. He then seamlessly returned to the ballad style of the heartfelt song Just when you thought the performance couldn’t get any better, he goes there and leaves the judges and viewers utterly impressed.
The judges loved the performance and the audience were on their feet at its conclusion. Is should come as no surprise that the song has had a lasting impression on everyone who’s heard it.
Since airing on America’s Got Talent, fans have been downloading his song. It even topped the singer-songwriter charts coming in at the number one song!
That’s pretty good for his first performance on the show.
“Hurt” struck an emotional chord with many of Goehring’s fans. After hearing the song, countless people reached out to him to let him know that the hit was providing emotional comfort for people who’d experienced the same situation.
Listeners who’ve found themselves in unhealthy relationships connected with the song on an emotional level. Many of them took to social media to express their appreciation.
In a recent interview with Axs, Goehring reflected on the impact that “Hurt” has had on his fans.
“[T]hat song is a reminder you have power to get yourself out of this situation. You can do it and I believe in you. People have been coming to me with personal stories and how the song related to them. That put a whole new meaning into the song. That’s like the life and the heartbeat of the song right there.”
We have a feeling that he’ll do very well on this season of the show, and we cannot wait to hear what other originals he has up his sleeve.
