Filipino-American singer Jessica Sanchez delivered a powerhouse performance in the finals of NBC's America's Got Talent (AGT) that left the audience and judges in awe.
Jessica, who is nine months pregnant, showcased her incredible vocal range and emotional depth as she sang her heart-wrenching rendition of "Die With A Smile."
She received a standing ovation from the four judges - Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Sofía Vergara - who were unanimous in their praise. Simon said it is "the best performance I've heard so far."
Jessica competed on the first season of AGT in 2006 but did not qualify in the finals. She also joined American Idol in 2012 where she became a finalist.
In 2025, Jessica returned to the AGT stage. In the auditions round, she received a golden buzzer from Sofía, sending her straight to the live shows.
Winner of AGT season 20 will be determined by public vote. It will be announced via the show's live finale on Wednesday, September 24, 9:00 PM ET (U.S. Eastern Time), or September 25, 9 a.m., in the Philippines.
The winner will take home $1 million as prize.
