Originally from Kazakhstan, 14-year-old singer Daneliya Tuleshova made a return to the “America’s Got Talent” stage on Tuesday.
For her song selection, Tuleshova made an interesting choice: Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times”, which lent itself quite nicely to her deep voice.
The performance was a triumph, with all four judges leaping to their feet at its conclusion, offering effusive praise for the talented young singer.
Howie Mandel described the performance as “beyond her years,” while Sofia Vergara said it was her favourite performance of the evening — and that the younger performers have been dominating the quarterfinals so far.
Guest judge Kenan Thompson — filling in for Simon Cowell as he recovers from surgery — marvelled at “such depth” in her singing.
After it was all over, Tuleshova took to Twitter to share her impressions of performing in front of “thousands of virtual audience on monitors.”
I can't believe that it was reality! I'm just performed in Live shows on this incredible @agt stage. It was really amazing and unbelievable to perform in front of America! I'm so excited. It was very unusual feeling when you see thousands of virtual audience on monitors 🤍 #AGT
