Evie Clair is stunning in a soft blue dress at the America’s Got Talent finals press line on Tuesday night (September 19).
The singer joined fellow finalist Chase Goehring on the red carpet after performing a stunning rendition of “What A Wonderful World” — a song she just in tribute to her father, who passed away last week.
“That was my dad’s favorite song, he’d always sing that. That would be the only song he would sing in public,” Evie told ET. “So, that was kind of like a tribute to him.”
Evie also opened up about coming back to the show so soon afterwards.
“I just prayed before that I would be able to do that and I feel like I really had strength from God and I know my dad was there,” she shared.

Evie Clair has us all in teats during her final performance on the America’s Got Talent finals on Tuesday night (September 19).
The 13-year-old singer performance “What A Wonderful World”, after thanking fans for their immense support following the passing of her father last week.
“My dad always told me that when you start something, you finish it,” Evie said during her video package. “I’m fighting to the end, just like he did.”
Evie Clair sadly lost her father to colon cancer last week, but she’s still going to be performing on tonight’s America’s Got Talent finals.
The 13-year-old singer opened up in a new interview about keeping her father’s spirit alive in her for tonight’s show.
“I just remember what my dad has taught me and it really helps me,” Evie says. “Also, (help) from my church having everyone there and I have such great friends here (on AGT).”
Evie also sent some love out to all the AGT fans who’ve sent her messages throughout the competition.
“I love them, (the fans) and I am so grateful I have gotten this far and that they’ve gotten me this far. I’ve had such an amazing opportunity and I don’t know where I would be without this.”
Now the question is will Evie return for the finals at all because of this tragedy?
Judge Simon Cowell spoke to Extra about Evie’s return and revealed that it’s unclear right now: “We reached out to the family and her and said, ‘It’s your choice whether you want to come on the show or not.’”
“If she doesn’t, she definitely will be welcome to come on next year.”
Evie‘s father, Amos, passed away last week just a day after Evie was announced as a finalist.

Darci Lynne Farmer and her puppet, Edna Doorknocker, hit the press line together after stealing the show away from everyone on America’s Got Talent on Tuesday night (September 5).
Despite the constant judges’ praise and standing ovations at the Dolby Theatre for her performance, Darci Lynne still thinks that everything is unpredictable.
“Now it’s really unpredictable because it’s in America’s hands,” she shared in a recent interview. “And you never know: America could love you or could not like you at all.
However, Darci Lynne does admit that “winning would be amazing.”
