On Tuesday’s episode of America’s Got Talent, the eighth night of auditions included a lovely Brazilian singer who captivated the judges with his voice. Sofia Vergara was especially impacted by the performance, and the other judges were as well.
When Gabriel Henrique onto the stage midway through Tuesday’s episode, Vergara and the other judges, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel, were immediately taken by his kind nature and infectious grin.
Because Gabriel does not have a strong command of the English language, he was accompanied on stage by a translator; yet, his endearing charisma was able to overcome any linguistic difficulties that may have been there even before he sung a single note.
Gabriel revealed to the audience via his translator that “[this is] my first time here in the United States,” adding, “and I’m just realizing a dream to be here to sing for you guys.”
When Gabriel started his performance, the strength of his voice was instantly apparent, despite the fact that he originally gave off the impression of being frightened and need a few seconds to psych himself up on stage. The potential winner of America’s Got Talent sang a copy of Whitney Houston’s “Run to You” and demonstrated his remarkable vocal range by hitting some impressively high notes throughout the performance.
Heidi was the first person to lavish praise upon him, and she was the one who said, “If Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey had a baby, it would be Gabriel.”
Howie said, “I did not expect that voice to come out of you,” and he emphasized that point. “You have the voice of a pop diva of the highest caliber that has ever existed.”
“Gabriel, people are going to really like you,” Simon gushed to Gabriel. “You simply never cease to fascinate me. I can tell that you’ve sung in the church, but you have no idea how talented you are. I can tell that you’ve sang in the church. It was unbelievable. ”
However, Sofia was the only member of the panel to agree with the panel’s concluding ideas, and she struggled to conceal her feelings as she praised his abilities.
“That was so wonderful, a true masterpiece. Your singing has such a lovely sound. Your vitality and essential nature. “It was almost like it was made to be,” Sofia added. “Because every time as a judge you are here, waiting for that sensation, and that’s exactly what I was waiting for, do you know what I’m saying? Something extraordinarily lovely and profoundly sincere.”
Gabriel was quickly sent to the live performances when Sofia, not wanting to leave anything to chance, pressed the Golden Buzzer before the judges had an opportunity to vote yes, which resulted in the stage being showered in glittering confetti and sending Gabriel directly to the live shows.
