At just 10 years old, Roberta Battaglia stepped onto the *America’s Got Talent* stage with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. The young singer from Canada admitted that appearing on the show was one of her biggest dreams. Although she seemed shy at first, it was clear that she was determined to make the most of her opportunity.
For her audition, Roberta chose to perform “Shallow,” the famous song by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from *A Star Is Born*. As soon as she began singing, her nervousness seemed to disappear. Her surprisingly powerful and mature voice immediately caught the attention of the judges and the audience.
As the performance continued, Roberta showed impressive vocal control and confidence for someone so young. The judges watched in amazement as she handled the challenging song with emotion and strength. By the end of the performance, the audience was on its feet, celebrating the young singer’s remarkable talent.
The judges were full of praise, but Sofía Vergara was especially impressed. Roberta also revealed that she had experienced bullying, making the moment even more emotional. Sofía praised her performance and then surprised everyone by pressing the Golden Buzzer, sending golden confetti across the stage and bringing Roberta to tears. It was Sofía’s first Golden Buzzer as an *AGT* judge.
Roberta’s audition became an unforgettable example of how talent can appear at any age. She arrived on stage as a nervous 10-year-old with a big dream and left as a Golden Buzzer recipient. Her powerful voice, humble personality, and emotional reaction made the audition one of the most memorable moments of the season.
