One of Canada's most prominent and decorated brother-sister duo, The Reklaws, made a profound impact on America’s Got Talent (AGT) with their heartfelt performance, earning a unanimous “yes” from all four judges.

Taking to the AGT stage, The Reklaws dedicated their original song, “People Don’t Talk About,” to their late mother. The poignant and empowering lyrics deeply resonated with the audience and judges alike, leaving many in tears.

Simon Cowell praised the performance, saying, “This is the kind of audition we love on this show.”

The duo’s emotional depth and vocal prowess captivated everyone present. Their lyrics struck a chord: “I grew up playing house / In a house that was broke / I wish we talked it out / Now I don’t know why—When it’s 2 am you’re talking to yourself again / You’re digging a hole … People don’t talk about / Trying to be yourself / But feeling like you’re someone else.”

In their pre-audition interview, Jenna shared the inspiration behind the song: “We wanted it to be a song specifically about our mom. We lost our mom to mental health, and that shook up our world.”

Judge Heidi Klum took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her admiration, stating, “THAT’S how you do it!!! I can’t wait to hear more from The Reklaws!”

With their incredible talent and touching performance, The Reklaws have garnered support from across the country.

Fans eagerly await their next performance on AGT, anticipating more powerful and moving songs from this exceptional duo.
