The judges, usually sparing with their accolades, were decidedly effusive in their praise. David Walliams voiced what perhaps many felt but hadn’t articulated: the rare moment when someone seems destined for superstardom.

Both aligned in their belief: adversity, when met with talent and determination, could elevate rather than diminish one’s prospects.
As if the acclaim wasn’t enough, Simon Cowell’s decision to press the Golden Buzzer was the crowning moment of Fayth’s performance.
