The Filipino group “L6” recently took the stage on “America’s Got Talent,” captivating both the judges and the audience.

Comprised of five siblings and their niece, L6 is a tight-knit family unit not just in their personal lives but also in their professional endeavors.

Back home in the Philippines, they run a small business selling gowns and clothes, but their dreams extend far beyond the confines of their shop.

With aspirations of winning the million-dollar prize, L6 hopes to buy a big house to accommodate their large family, which includes ten siblings and four children living together.

Their performance was especially touching as it was a tribute to their late mother, who had always dreamed of seeing them perform on such a grand stage.

This dream added an emotional layer to their already heartfelt performance.

L6 chose to start their performance with Celine Dion’s classic track “All By Myself.”

However, their rendition hit a snag when Simon Cowell stopped them mid-performance.

Simon, known for his candid feedback, found the track choice to be “awful” and suggested they perform a cappella instead.

He believed their voices had the potential to shine without any background music.

The shift was remarkable.
