Hunter Price Performs Original Song “Left Behind” – A Stunning Second Chance on AGT 2018
When Hunter Price first walked onto the America’s Got Talent stage in 2018, he came with a familiar country song—but Simon Cowell had other plans. Just moments into the performance, Simon stopped him mid-song, challenging Hunter to show who he really is by performing something original. What happened next was nothing short of magical.
Accepting the challenge, Hunter introduced his original song “Left Behind”—a raw, heartfelt track that immediately showcased his emotional depth, songwriting skills, and smooth, soulful vocals. The room shifted as the audience leaned in, captivated by the honesty in his lyrics and the vulnerability he brought to the stage.
Simon’s gamble paid off. By pushing Hunter to reveal his authentic artistry, he helped uncover a hidden gem. The judges were visibly impressed, praising the performance as a bold and genuine moment of artistry. It was the kind of second chance that transforms an audition into something unforgettable.
“Left Behind” wasn’t just a song—it was a statement. A message about finding the courage to share your voice and not being afraid to take risks. Hunter Price walked in hoping to impress with a cover but left having defined himself as a true singer-songwriter to watch.
