Just a week after the tragic passing of her father, 13-year-old Evie Clair got back on the America's Got Talent stage to finish what she started.

The teen singer, braved the stage with a moving performance on Tuesday night, in honor of her late father, by singing his favorite song.

"The happiest memories are my family gathered around the piano singing together," Clair said during the performance show. "Music brought love and brought us closer together, even through the hardest times. My dad was one of the bravest people I knew, he always taught us to follow our dreams...My dad taught me after I started something to always finish it, that's why I'm fighting to the end just like he did."

Evie's father passed away on September 7 after battling Stage 4 colon cancer for roughly a year.

"Families are Forever," she captioned her Facebook post from last Thursday.

She dedicated several of her performances to her father, including her audition song, Christina Perri's "Arms."

As one of the top 10 performers, she was competing live at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood for the $1 million prize.

"Evie coming back was unbelievable," Cowell told E! News. "I saw her before the show came on, you know she was nervous, but I do believe genuinely it was what her dad would've wanted and it was the best she's ever sung."

Evie's father, Amos Abplanalp commitment to his faith and work inspired his family and community to remain united even after his passing.

"He's been a big example of not giving up and spending your time wisely," Evie said.

Amos and his wife Hillary have raised their five children in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he continued to serve as bishop even after his stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis.

"Love my daddy. #cancersucks," she wrote on Facebook.

His example of perseverance has been a leading example to help Evie and her family face the tough challenges ahead.

"It's good to be back in LA after a difficult week saying goodbye to my dad. I am with the AGT finalists at Universal Studios this morning doing some live news spots for NBC and feeling okay," she wrote.

"What A Wonderful World" was her dad's favorite song- and the only song "he could sing in tune, well," according to Evie. "He never sang, he's not a musician at all...this was just a tribute to him."

After her performance, Evie said she was glad that she decided to come back. "I was able to kind of make stronger friendships, it's really been great," she told E! News.

While Evie didn't win the million dollars, it's clear that people love her.

We wish Evie and her family all the best, and can't wait until she releases her own music!
