One of the most popular contestants on New Zealand’s Got Talent 2012 was 91-year-old great-grandmother  Olivia Turner. She sang on radio during World War 2, and returned to singing decades later. Having lost  her Christchurch home during the 2011 earthquake, she felt spurred on to try out for the show. This was her audition:

She made it to the semi-final, and then became the oldest contestant to make the finals in any of the many “Got Talent” shows worldwide.

She placed eighth of twelve. Fifteen-year-old Clara Van Wel won.
