Watch the 14-year-old's powerful cover of Lesley Gore's 'You Don't Own Me' on 'America's Got Talent'

When Reid Wilson, a 14-year-old singer from the heart of Alabama, entered the AMERICA has talent stage, his nerves were palpable.

But once she started belting out Lesley Gore's 1963 hit “You Don't Own Me,” those nerves disappeared, replaced by a voice so powerful and a presence so magnetic that it left judges and audiences stunned.

“I'm definitely nervous, but I'm going to put everything into it and sing my heart out and try not to miss a note,” Wilson said before his performance. And boy, did he deliver!

His soulful rendition of the classic tune showcased not only his incredible vocal range, but also his ability to pour his heart into every note.

The judges were taken aback by Wilson's unexpected song choice and undeniable talent.

Simon Cowell couldn't help but admit, “We didn't expect that.” A visibly impressed Heidi Klum gushed: 'I think you're absolutely incredible. I liked it when you took the mic out [the stand] and gave a little more stage presence. Well done.”

Simon added that his parents must have good taste in music, to which Reed said no, drawing laughs from the judges and audience.

Sofia Vergara, who was initially worried about Wilson's nerves, was very impressed: “You were so nervous at first. I was like, “He's not going to be able to put his stuff together,” but you did and you did amazing. It sounded spectacular from here.”

But it was Howie Mandel who had the most profound reaction to Wilson's performance.

Visibly moved, Mandel shared, “I got picked on because I was surprised. You know what; This stage is where dreams come true. Do you believe in dreams?”

When Wilson answered in the affirmative, Howie hit the Golden Buzzer, showering glittering confetti on Wilson and his proud mother, who had rushed the stage to embrace her son in a moment of pure joy.

Lesley Gore's 'You Don't Own Me' was a bold choice for the young singer.

The song, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964, has been a feminist anthem for decades. Written by John Madara and David White, it showcased Gore's powerful voice and became one of her signature hits.

Gore, already famous for her hit song “It's My Party,” recorded “You Don't Own Me” when she was just 17 years old. It was later included on her album Lesley Gore sings mixed hearts.

Behind the scenes, Mandel couldn't stop gushing about Wilson's raw talent.

“I did it because of the sound and what you are was nothing close to anything I expected. You're a big talent,” she told the young singer, who was still trying to wrap his head around this life-changing moment.

For Wilson, whose musical hero is none other than the legendary Aretha Franklin, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.

“I would love to be the next superstar,” he confessed. “I sing at family gatherings every now and then, but nothing major.”

Now, armed with a Golden Buzzer and a ticket to the live shows, Wilson has the chance to make that dream come true.
