'You Are The Reason' Mother And Son Duet Earns Golden Buzzer - Staff Picks

Sharon and Brandon earn the golden buzzer on Ireland’s Got Talent for their emotional mother and son duet to ‘You Are The Reason.’ This talented duo has been singing together since Brandon was just a young boy. But, there was a time not too long ago that Sharon didn’t know if she’d ever sing with Brandon again. After a tragic accident, Brandon was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. Doctors feared the worst, but, miraculously, the young man made it through.

Now, he’s taking his second chance at life all the way to the Ireland’s Got Talent stage. With his mother by his side, they are performing Calum Scott’s hit song, ‘You Are The Reason.’

“I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason”

This song holds great significance for this duo. While Brandon was in the hospital, his mother never gave up hope and she supported him every step of the way. After their emotional performance, host Lucy couldn’t hold back her feelings any longer. She rushed to the judge’s table and pressed the golden buzzer sending the mother and son through to the live shows.

One judge described the audition by saying, “There really is no love in this world like a mother’s love. And we, as mothers, felt your joy, your love and your pain all at the same time singing this song.” This was definitely an amazing performance and I cannot wait to see what they do next.
