America’s Got Talent recently welcomed a standout performer who might already be familiar to Eurovision enthusiasts. Gabriella Laberge, a gifted French-Canadian singer and violinist, delivered a jaw-dropping audition that left the audience and judges in awe. Known for her 2019 appearance in France’s Destination Eurovision, Gabriella is now captivating a global audience with her extraordinary talent.
Before stepping onto the AGT stage, Gabriella reflected on her aspirations in a heartfelt pre-performance video. “This is the opportunity of my life,” she shared. “To chase my biggest dream, which is doing music for the rest of my life.” With her violin in hand, she confidently stepped into the spotlight, ready to make her mark.
Gabriella began her audition with an exquisite violin solo, enchanting judges Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Heidi Klum. Simon Cowell, however, appeared less impressed, his hand hovering over the red buzzer as though prepared to end her performance. But Gabriella had a trick up her sleeve.
As she seamlessly transitioned from playing to singing, Gabriella delivered a soul-stirring rendition of James Blunt’s “Goodbye My Lover.” Her angelic vocals immediately turned the tide, captivating Cowell and prompting him to pull his hand back from the buzzer. Her heartfelt performance earned a standing ovation from the audience and all four judges. Even Cowell joined in the applause, and the panel unanimously voted to advance her to the next stage.
Gabriella’s audition aired during the final episode of the season’s auditions, leaving fans eager to see what’s next. With over 150 acts receiving “yes” votes this season, only 36 will advance to the live shows. The suspense continues as viewers await the series’ return after a brief three-week hiatus to learn if Gabriella makes the cut.
This isn’t Gabriella’s first time showcasing her talent on television. In 2019, she competed in France’s Destination Eurovision, dazzling fans with her song “On cherche encore (Never Get Enough).” Despite her popularity, she was eliminated during the semi-finals, with Bilal Hassani ultimately taking the win with “Roi.”
Gabriella’s AGT audition marks a thrilling new chapter in her journey, bringing her music to a broader international audience. Whether or not she progresses to the live shows, her unforgettable performance has already won the hearts of viewers and judges alike, proving that her dream of sharing her music with the world is well within reach.
Fans and Eurovision supporters will undoubtedly continue cheering for this talented artist as she pursues her musical aspirations.
