Lara D traveled all the way from Sydney, Australia, hoping America’s Got Talent could help her big dream come true. The 23-year-old singer chose a hard song called “Oscar Winning Tears.” Instead of just copying the original singer, Lara made it special. She moved between smooth singing, fast talking, and powerful high notes. She acted like a true superstar who already belonged on a giant stage.
The judges could not believe their eyes or ears. Simon Cowell’s jaw dropped wide open as Lara sang louder and better. By the final note, the judges were standing up and cheering. Judge Howie Mandel was getting ready to do something amazing for her. But before he could do it, Sofia Vergara reached across the table and hit the Golden Buzzer herself!
