Tina Turner’s 9-Year-Old ‘AGT’ Contestant Will Make Your Jaw Drop – NBC New York

Originally appeared on E! Online

There are only two words that can describe the vocal abilities of this young “America’s Got Talent” candidate: best.

Season 19 contestant Pranysqa Mishra surprised the judges by performing a cover of Tina Turner’s “River Deep, Mountain High” during the July 2 episode of the NBC reality show.

“I’ve always loved singing,” the 9-year-old said in her introductory video. “It just makes me happy. Even when I was 4, I would pretend I had a microphone and I was singing for the world to hear. My grandma always tells me, ‘Sing with all your heart and one day you’ll be on that stage.’”

But Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara and Howie Mandel weren’t ready for the powerful vocals that Mishira unleashed next. After the stunning performance, both the judges and the audience were left speechless by the diminutive talent’s stunning vocal abilities.

“We expect a lot of things, but I didn’t expect this,” Klum replied. “And you know what I’m going to do now? Because honestly, I don’t want to hear what Howie or Simon or Sofia have to say. I want you to call your grandma and tell her that Heidi Klum pushed the Gold Button on you.”

The supermodel then pressed the Gold Button, which instantly advanced Mishira to the next level of competition.

Klum’s kind words left Mishira and her family in tears of joy as Klum told her, “Congratulations, you deserve it. You’re absolutely amazing.”

And Cowell couldn’t agree more. As he told Vergara, “She’s really, really good.”

“America’s Got Talent” airs Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. on NBC.
