Brandon Rogers: Watch His Posthumous Auditon for AGT

NBC paid tribute to Brandon Rogers on Tuesday night in the most emotional and appropriate way possible:

It aired the aspiring singer"s America"s Got Talent audition.

As previously reported, Rogers tragically died in a car accident last month, not long after trying out for this popular singing competition.

At the time, sources said that producers were unsure whether they would air Rogers" tryout for the series, but it appears as if his loved ones didn"t just give them permission to do so…

… they strongly encouraged Rogers be featured.

“At the request of his family we would like to honor his memory by sharing his audition with you,” America"s Got Talent wrote in statement prior to airing Rogers’ appearance.

Rogers graduated from medical school in 2015 and dedicated to his life/work within the medical community over the past two years.

In his spare time, however, he recorded videos of himself singing, one of which got noticed by the series (prompting NBC to fly him to Los Angeles for his audition) and one of which even got noticed by Boyz II Men.

As a result of the beloved group discovering Rogers on Instagram, Brandon was actually invited to join them on stage for a show late last year.

A few months later, he was a passenger in a car whose driver fell asleep behind the wheel.

The car veered off the road and slammed into a tree, after which Rogers was rushed to the hospital… but he died from injuries sustained in the wreck.

His memory lives on, forever, especially after an impressive America"s Got Talent appearance.

"My inspiration for becoming a doctor was kind of born out of a pretty tough experience when I was six years old when I came home from school one day and found my mom laying in a pool of blood,” he said on stage last night, posthumously.

“We rushed her to the hospital, the doctors were like heroes. They saved her life and it made me want to be the doctor that I am today."

The 29-year old then broke into a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s 1995 classic “Ribbon in The Sky” for judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel.

"You have real control and passion and you can be a star,” Mandel told Rogers after the audition. “You spent so much time going down that medical road. I think it was a waste of time and schooling because you should be a singer.”

And Cowell added:

“Your vocal is stunning.

"I want to say something. I’ve never said this before to a doctor: You’re sick. Really sick. You’re one of the best singers we’ve had in the competition so far, I’ve gotta tell you."

May Brandon Rogers rest in peace.

Christina Grimmie: Heartbroken, Hopeful in Posthumous Music Video

Christina Grimmie may no longer be with us.

But the family of this late singer is making sure fans can continue to appreciate her music.

Last week, we shared the first of four music videos Grimmie filmed before her tragic, shocking death in June.

It featured the singer playing a version of Snow White, describing Grimmie"s journey in trying to find her Prince Charming.

The song was the opening chapter in a long-form music video titled the “Ballad of Jessica Blue,” with Grimmie playing the titular character.

Take a look at "Snow White" below:

Now, Grimmie"s family has released the video for "Anybody"s You."

In this case, Grimmie portrays the same fictional character of Jessica Blue, reflecting on past romances gone wrong and the ex-boyfriends who cheated on her

But the song is not meant to be a downer. There"s an optimistic tinge to it.

The title, for example, is a reference to the perfect soulmate who "Jessica" has not yet met, with Grimmie wondering "if there"s someone that makes me happy/Someone that I already knew/What if, what if, what if that anybody /Anybody"s you?"

She talks to her grandmother at one point in the video about her frustrations with the opposite sex.

The footage ends on a cliffhanger, with Jessica"s grandmother telling her grandchild to "Come with me."

But the next step in this video series will be released next week.

Grimmie, of course, was fatally shot by a deranged fan in Orlando on June 10.

She was signing autographs backstage for fans when a man walked up to her and simply pulled the trigger.

Grimmie"s brother eventually wrestled the shooter to the ground, likely savings many lives in the process, prior to the man getting himself free and killing himself in the process.

Grimmie was 22 years old at the time of her death.

During a memorial service, her brother Marcus addressed the people who came out to pay their respects.

"I don"t have anything to say, I don"t have words still and it"s a good and bad thing," he said.

"All I"m going to say is thank God for the mark that she left on this world. Thanks mom and dad. I know it"s going to be really tough for us to move forward."

It"s been tough for the entire music world to move forward, not that we can compare anyone"s pain here to the pain of Grimmie"s family.

Our heart continues to go out to them and we continue to send them our condolences.

All we can do now is honor the art that Christina made while she was alive.

Along those lines, join us in watching the moving music video below:
