'AGT' Season 18 fans claim 2 Moms United By One Heart's 'sad story was great, not the singing': 'This is a talent show'

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent' has long served as a remarkable platform for spreading messages of hope and inspiration, and no duo understood this better than 2 Moms United By One Heart. Holly Campbell and Kim Scadlock's extraordinary bond was forged through the miraculous gift of a heart transplant. In a poignant twist of fate, Holly's son, Jacob R Campbell, tragically died just months after his birth in 2007. However, his parents selflessly chose to donate his heart to Kim's two-week-old baby, Beckham. Fate united them, and now they aim to raise awareness about the power of organ donation.

Their heartfelt performance on the show garnered a resounding standing ovation from all four judges, propelling them to the next round of the competition. However, despite their inspiring background story, some fans questioned the relevance of their singing skills. To viewers, the emotional narrative seemed extraneous, diverting attention away from their talent and overshadowing their musical abilities.

2 Moms United By One Heart gets standing ovation on 'AGT' Season 18

Jacob R Campbell, born in May 2007, sadly died in August of the same year. In an incredible act of generosity, Holly and her husband donated their son's heart to a two-week-old baby named Beckham, who later crossed paths with them. Their aim is to raise awareness about organ donation, and tonight, both mothers astonishingly sing 'For Good' from the musical 'Wicked' to their children. It's a heart-wrenching yet hopeful tale.

Despite Howie's dislike for musical theater, he confessed that he feels a connection nonetheless. Heidi expressed her desire to embrace all three of them and gave them an emotional yes. Sofia predicts it as a moment that will be etched in everyone's memory. Simon commends their courage and adds that their performance will truly make a difference. With unanimous agreement, they receive four 'yes' votes.

'Wasn't that good tbh'

Fans of 'AGT' criticize 2 Moms United By One Heart for presenting yet another sad story and delivering a performance with wrong notes. They feel that the duo's choice to share their emotional narrative detracts from their singing abilities, leading to a lackluster performance. One said, "I'm just gonna go honest here. If it wasn't for the story this wouldn't have moved on but admitted they came on to encourage donors. All in all this is a great blessing for these 2 family to unite," while another chimed in saying, "I mean what a story they have and they are good singers, I wouldn’t say it was perfect because I heard a few bummed notes." Another pointed out, "Telling a sad story always helps." Some said, "If they hadn't told us their emotional story this doesn't get through the completely average performance." Another added, "The performance itself was mediocre at best. The lady on the right . The lady on the left sounded decent. The act was more about the story than the performance itself. If it were two random ladies singing that song, they wouldn’t have gone through. Judge the act based on performance, not the story. They weren’t good enough." Another commented, "The story was great and inspiring, not the singing. since this is a talent show, we have to judge the singing." Another exclaimed, "Good story, okay singers, but wasn’t golden buzzer worthy. Thank you Sophia for saving your buzzer on this. I was worried." Another said, "I stopped watching after they both got a chance to sing. They're not great. No way they moved on by talent alone. It is just another sad story"
