Tuesday's (July 2) episode of AMERICA has talent introduced viewers to an incredible young talent — 9-year-old Pranysqa Mishra from Tampa, Florida.
Pranysqa's powerful rendition of Tina Turner's songRiver Deep, Mountain Highimpressed the judges and the audience, eventually winning the coveted Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum.
Ahead of the Season 19 audition, Pranysqa shared her passion for singing, which dates back as far as she can remember.
“I always like to sing. It makes me feel happy. Even when I was four years old, I pretend to have a microphone and sing like I'm singing to the whole world,” she enthused.
Pranysqa credited her grandmother as her main inspiration and the driving force behind her burgeoning career, along with her musical idols Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston.
Despite admitting she had some nerves, particularly about performing in front of the notoriously tough Simon Cowell, Pranysqa's confidence shone through as she began to sing in a commanding voice that defied her youth.
The judges were visibly stunned, exchanging looks of disbelief as her powerful vocals filled the room.
“Oh my god, I didn't expect that. We expect a lot of things, but I didn't expect this,” exclaimed Heidi Klum.
Without hesitation, Klum hit the Golden Buzzer, sending Pranysqa straight to live. “I want you to call your grandma and tell her that Heidi Klum pushed the Golden Buzzer for you,” she told the young singer.
As golden confetti rained down on Pranysqa, she began to cry tears of happiness, visibly shocked that she had won the golden price. “My dream is coming true. I can't believe it,” she said, reflecting on her grandmother's prediction that she would one day appear on a big stage.
Pranysqa's family joined her on stage for an emotional celebration, with tears of joy and hugs everywhere. Klum then helped Pranysqa call her grandmother to share the incredible news.
“You're absolutely incredible,” Heidi Klum told the powerhouse big five after their performance.
