10-Year-Old Canadian Girl With Shocking Voice Wins Golden Buzzer On AGT
It’s uncommon to see someone fulfill a lifelong dream at just 10 years old, but a recent “America’s Got Talent” contestant achieved just that. Roberta Battaglia from Toronto, Canada, dreamt of singing on AGT stage and at only 10 years old, she made it come true!
The little girl was deeply moved by the chance to perform on the AGT stage. As soon as she began to sing, everyone in the audience was blown away. She sang Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s “Shallow” like an angel.
Now, let’s follow Simon’s suggestion: close your eyes and just listen. You would never guess that the singer is only 10 years old. Her voice sounds like that of a seasoned adult! Lady Gaga herself would be impressed with how this young talent handled the soaring vocals of such a challenging song.
When she finished, the judges and the audience jumped to their feet, giving Roberta a well-deserved standing ovation. Howie couldn’t contain his amazement, exclaiming, “Your talent is unbelievable. Your age is unbelievable. This is unbelievable!” The room buzzed with excitement and admiration for the young singer’s incredible performance.
Simon joked that someone else must be behind Roberta’s incredible vocals, then he praised her for being “so likable” and “humble.” When Roberta confessed that she sometimes gets bullied at school, Simon offered her some words of wisdom:
“There’s one way to win over bullies, and that’s being happy and successful,” he said, pausing as the audience cheered. “Bullies are always threatened about talented people, so in a weird way it’s a compliment. And it shows your strength that you’ve come all the way from Canada to be here, and we’re honored to have you as our guest.”
Roberta held back tears as the judges showered her with praise for her performance. However, it was Sofia who made a life-changing move. “It was amazing, it was breathtaking. You’re ten years old! That’s impossible that you sing like that at 10 years old,” Sofia gushed. “And you know what? Let’s see who is going to bully you after this!”
Sofia reached up and hit the Golden Buzzer, instantly sending Roberta to the semifinals live show! This moment marked a turning point in Roberta’s young career, setting her on a path to stardom.
