Thirty-nine-year-old Glennis Grace took the America’s Got Talent (AGT) stage, explaining that despite having been a singer for years, her ambition remained the same: to sing for more people and follow her dreams. Glennis was driven by the support of her 11-year-old son, Anthony, who encouraged her to pursue her passion on the massive American stage. The judges, intrigued by an established artist seeking this platform, were eager to hear the voice that her son believed in. The challenge was clear: Glennis needed to deliver a performance that proved she wasn’t just talented, but a global star in waiting.
Glennis chose to sing “Run to You” by the legendary Whitney Houston. From the very first note, the similarity in her vocal tone and power to the late icon was uncanny. She performed with a command and emotion that completely captivated the entire auditorium. Her rendition was technically flawless, demonstrating incredible vocal control while maintaining the soulful depth that defined the original. The standing ovation and the judges’ stunned reactions confirmed that Glennis had delivered an audition that was more than just good—it was star-making.
The judges were overwhelmed by the quality of her voice. Simon Cowell, the toughest critic, admitted, “I feel like I’m looking at a star already, I’m going to be honest with you.” Mel B offered perhaps the highest compliment, stating, “You do sound so much actually like Whitney, it’s unbelievable.” Howie Mandel beautifully summarized her ambition, saying, “The only reason why you’re not a star yet is because we haven’t seen you and we haven’t heard you.” Glennis Grace received four resounding “yeses,” proving that her dream was absolutely within reach.
