She passed the audition but didn\u2019t enter the live shows. She decided to give it another shot in Season 12.<\/p>\n
Two years after getting rejected from Britain\u2019s Got Talent, Tam was back for Season 12. Her audition, in Episode 1204, consisted of her iconic performance of Celine Dion\u2019s \u201cMy Heart Will Go On.\u201d She didn\u2019t leave any other choice for judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel.

In Episode 1213, Tam sings for a chance to advance to the semifinals. Her performance of Whitney Houston\u2019s and Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cWhen You Believe\u201d earned her a standing ovation and a golden ticket to the semifinals alongside Merrick Hanna. Despite delivering an outstanding performance of \u201cHow Far I\u2019ll Go\u201d from Moana, Tam didn\u2019t receive enough votes to make it to the finals. However, she didn\u2019t give up on singing contests. In 2019, she competed in the \u201cWorld\u2019s Got Talent\u201d special held in China. She received a Golden Buzzer, which made her go to the Top 8.
