There wasn’t a dry eye in the house after Breanna Lee Wilson's Australia's Got Talent audition.
The 16-year-old took to the stage performing a rendition of Cindy Lauper's classic, True Colours, with a twist.
A proud Aboriginal woman, Breanna performed the chorus in the Wemba Wemba language.
Already a finalist

The buzzer sends any act immediately to the semi-finals.
Breanna isn’t the first Indigenous act to get the buzzer, with Mitch Tambo receiving it in Season 9, in 2019.
Audition anxiety
Despite a flawless finish, the youngster struggled with her nerves.
She fumbled at the first chorus, before taking a moment to turn to her family for support.
“I feel like I messed it up,” she said.
Judge Kate Ritchie and host Ricki-Lee rushed to her aid, encouraging her to take a moment and restart.
With her brother shouting “come on, lessgo” from the curtain, she stepped back up to the mic and continued to ace the audition.

Making her mob proud
A Melbourne local, Breanna only became aware of her talent after performing at a school talent show.
“The teachers complimented me – which I loved,” she said on the show.
For Breanna, her dream is to make “Indigenous people proud”.
Alongside her at the audition is her brother, and her foster Dad – who has cared for her since she was 5-weeks-old.
“The first time I saw her, she did a big smile. It was love at first sight,” he said.
“Tonight’s performance means a lot, she’s worked hard. We’re all behind her, and hopefully, everyone can see [how talented she is].”
