Darcy’s calm demeanor disguised the horrific challenges he had just a few years before his appearance on the show. When Darcy took the stage, Louis Walsh, a music business executive and competition judge, began the conversation that disclosed the specifics of Darcy’s ordeal.
Darcy said he had a bulging disc in his back that compressed the nerves in his leg. He states in the video that he was unable to get out of bed one morning after rolling over. The doctors gave him a 50/50 chance of never walking again.
Imagine waking up one day and learning that you may never be able to walk again. Barry thinks that the incident deepened his love for his wife and children. Darcy’s voice is filled with emotion and pride as he speaks about his wife’s support and affection.
Darcy’s song was Elvis Presley’s The Wonder of You. Darcy believes the song perfectly portrays his feelings for his wife and children. Darcy’s performance-related cool confidence surprised the audience, as did his resemblance to Elvis. As Darcy sang his song, both the judges and the audience nodded in accord.
The Darcy family enjoyed themselves while watching from backstage. They were shocked, along with the judges and spectators, when Walsh stood up and punched the golden buzzer.
When the golden buzzer sounded, Darcy started to cry, and his family joined him on stage.
Darcy is a living proof that a positive outlook can triumph over adversity. Darcy’s charisma and excitement left a lasting effect on the judges and audience in addition to his musical talent.
