Simon leaned forward, eyes wide, and said, “I think that’s the hardest song any 10-year-old has ever done in AGT history.” And honestly, he wasn’t exaggerating. She was only ten—tiny, nervous, barely tall enough to hold the mic—but the second she opened her mouth, everything stopped. The whole room went still, like someone hit pause on the world. You could almost hear people holding their breath. Then came her voice. Not small, not shy—nothing you’d expect from a kid. It was deep, rich, and full of emotion, like it came from someone who had lived a hundred lives. Each note cut straight through the silence, sending chills through the audience. People stared, stunned, trying to understand how such a huge voice was coming from someone so little. But the biggest moment was still waiting. Just when everyone thought it couldn’t get more intense, it happened—a judge slammed the Golden Buzzer

During the Judge Cuts round, a distinguished panel of judges, comprised of industry professionals and celebrity guests, evaluate the performances with a keen eye for talent and potential. Contestants showcase their skills in front of this esteemed panel, hoping to secure their spot in the next stage of the competition. The judges provide valuable feedback, critiques, and, ultimately, make critical decisions that determine which acts will advance to the live shows.

Coming into this round, 10-year-old Emanne Beasha from Florida knew she had to impress. She had done well in the audition round but the stakes were much higher now–so high she even brought her good-luck stuffed unicorn, “Uni,” to ensure a good performance.

“I think this is the hardest song I’ve ever done,” said Emanne.
