On the America’s Got Talent (AGT) stage, 39-year-old Glennis Grace stated that even after years of performing, her goal was still to sing for more people and pursue her ambitions. Her 11-year-old son Anthony’s encouragement to follow her passion on the enormous American stage propelled Glennis. The judges were curious to hear the voice that her son believed in, and they were intrigued by an accomplished artist looking for this stage. The task was obvious: Glennis had to give a performance that demonstrated she was not only gifted but also a future worldwide celebrity.
Glennis decided to perform Whitney Houston’s iconic song “Run to You.” Her voice tone and strength were very comparable to the late icon from the first note. The entire audience was enthralled by her commanding and passionate performance. Her performance was technically perfect, showcasing amazing vocal control while preserving the original’s soulful depth. The judges’ astonished responses and the standing ovation demonstrated that Glennis’s audition was not just brilliant, but star-making.
The caliber of her voice astonished the judges. The harshest critic, Simon Cowell, acknowledged, “I’ll be honest with you, I feel like I’m looking at a star already.” Perhaps the greatest compliment was given by Mel B, who said, “You sound so much actually like Whitney, it’s unbelievable.” “The only reason you’re not a star yet is because we haven’t seen you and we haven’t heard you,” Howie Mandel said, eloquently capturing her aspirations. Four enthusiastic “yeses” were given to Glennis Grace, demonstrating that her ambition was definitely achievable.
