The tweens continue to deliver big talent on “America’s Got Talent.”
Twelve-year-old Grace Vanderwaal stunned the judges of the NBC show on Tuesday, June 7, when she graced the stage to perform an original song—ukulele in hand.
“I’m doing my own song tonight, because I think that shows who I am,” she said before the performance.
When asked by Simon Cowell if she can win the talent competition show, Vanderwaal responded, “Miracles can happen, so possibly.”
With nothing but her voice and a ukulele, the young singer stunned viewers with her performance, resulting in a standing ovation from all four judges and the crowd.
“This is a show about surprises and you used the word ’miracle,' and I think you are a living, beautiful, walking miracle,” said Howie Mandel.
“Your original words about people not knowing your name is so right and so wrong because I think the world is going to know your name. And I think right now they’re going to know your name because…” he said, as he reached over to slam the Golden Buzzer.
The Golden Buzzer sends contestants straight into the live shows.
With confetti raining from the ceiling, VanderWaal is flanked by her family as they all shed tears.
