America\u2019s Got Talent, one of the world\u2019s most popular talent shows, recently featured a familiar face for Eurovision fans. Gabriella Laberge, a French-Canadian singer and violinist who competed in France\u2019s Destination Eurovision in 2019, delivered a breathtaking audition that captivated the audience and judges.<\/p>\n
Before stepping onto the AGT stage, Gabriella shared her dreams in a pre-performance video. \u201cThis is the opportunity of my life,\u201d she said, \u201cto chase my biggest dream, which is doing music for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Quebec-born artist then appeared with her violin, beginning her audition with a delicate solo performance.<\/p>\n
While judges Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Heidi Klum were visibly enthralled by her playing, Simon Cowell seemed less engaged. His hand hovered over the red buzzer, signaling his readiness to cut her performance short. But Gabriella had a surprise up her sleeve.<\/p>\n
As she transitioned from playing to singing, Gabriella launched into a soulful rendition of James Blunt\u2019s \u201cGoodbye My Lover.\u201d Her angelic voice immediately captured Cowell\u2019s attention, prompting him to withdraw his hand from the buzzer.<\/p>\n
The performance earned her a standing ovation from the judges and the audience, with Cowell himself joining the applause. The panel unanimously voted to send her through to the next stage of the competition.<\/p>\n
However, Gabriella\u2019s AGT journey is far from over. Her audition aired during the final round of the season\u2019s auditions, episode eight.<\/p>\n
With over 150 acts having received \u201cyes\u201d votes throughout the season, only 36 can move on to the live shows. Fans will need to wait for the series to return after a three-week break to learn whether Gabriella will be among the finalists.<\/p>\n
Gabriella\u2019s television appearances began in 2019 when she competed in the second season of France\u2019s Destination Eurovision. Her song, \u201cOn cherche encore (Never Get Enough),\u201d was a fan favorite.<\/p>\n
However, despite her popularity, she was eliminated during the semi-finals. The competition was ultimately won by Bilal Hassani with the song \u201cRoi.\u201d<\/p>\n
