She was pregnant at the age of 18 and gave birth to a young girl. As of now, she doesn’t have much money for herself and her daughter.

After singing Bruno Mars’ “Talking to the Moon,” the judges didn’t respond well. Wilmore couldn’t meet the expectations of the judges. Katy Perry, one of the judges, asked her to try out some full voice rather than opting for falsetto. She gave the best of her and the judges were surprised to hear her full voice.

But unfortunately, things didn’t go well as expected. Although Katy was very supportive right from the beginning, the rest of the two were not very happy with the performance. Kathy insisted that one day Wilmore will find what she came looking for. And right at that moment, Wilmore’s daughter, who was exploring the stage came with a Golden Ticket in her hands and announced that she thought she found that. Wilmore, who saw this was about to break out and asked the little one to put that back. 

The judges who saw this heartbreaking scene decided to give Wilmore a second chance at the next audition that’ll be held in Nashville. Will Wilmore benefit from the second chance? Will she make it to Hollywood week? Stay tuned for the latest updates.
