During Week 4 of America’s Got Talent Season 17, Kristen Cruz took the stage and executed one of the night’s most memorable Auditions.
The 19-year-old TikTok star showed off her powerhouse vocals with a rendition of the song “I See Red,” originally by indie pop band Everybody Loves an Outlaw.
All 4 judges gave her a standing ovation. Simon Cowell called the performance “unbelievable.” Heidi Klum admitted, “I want your voice.” She also added, “You are a star already in the making.”
There’s no denying that Kristen has a one-of-a-kind voice!
“I wanna sing,” Cruz said. “I don’t wanna not believe in myself and not try. I want to inspire people, to make them feel that you don’t have to be anything else but yourself. I don’t have to be the industry standard.”
Kristen has grown up in Forth Worth, Texas. She’s currently in the IMMERSION program at Septien Entertainment Group. Septien is a music school in Texas. She’s traveled halfway across the country to take the next step on AGT.
