Gabriella Laberge recently delivered a breathtaking audition on America’s Got Talent that left the judges and audience completely mesmerized. For fans of international music competitions, Gabriella is no stranger. The French-Canadian singer and violinist first caught attention in 2019 during France’s Destination Eurovision. Now, years later, she’s stepping onto one of the biggest stages in the world, aiming to fulfill her lifelong dream of sharing her music with a global audience. Her appearance on AGT was not only a chance to reintroduce herself to those familiar with her past work but also an opportunity to captivate millions of new viewers. And captivate them she did, with a performance that blended her violin mastery with an angelic voice, creating a magical moment that instantly became one of the season’s standout auditions.

Before her AGT performance, Gabriella shared her personal story in a touching pre-show interview. With genuine emotion, she spoke about what this opportunity meant to her. “This is the opportunity of my life,” she said. “To pursue my greatest dream, which is to make music for the rest of my days.” Her sincerity was palpable, and it was clear that music isn’t just a career for Gabriella—it’s her passion and life’s purpose. When she stepped onto the stage, violin in hand, she was calm, focused, and ready to show the world what she could do. She opened her audition with a soft and soulful violin solo, instantly drawing in the audience and judges alike with its beauty and simplicity. Her playing was graceful, delicate, and emotional, setting the tone for what was to come.

Judges Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Heidi Klum watched intently, clearly impressed by her skills on the violin. However, Simon Cowell appeared less convinced at first. Known for his high standards and tough critiques, Cowell’s hand hovered over the red buzzer, as if he was ready to stop the audition at any moment. The audience held its breath, uncertain about what would happen next. But Gabriella wasn’t finished—far from it. In a move that surprised everyone in the room, she seamlessly transitioned from playing her violin to singing a heartfelt rendition of James Blunt’s “Goodbye My Lover.” As soon as she began to sing, everything changed. Her voice was pure, ethereal, and filled with emotion, instantly catching Cowell’s attention. He slowly pulled his hand away from the buzzer, clearly moved by her stunning vocal performance.

As Gabriella sang, her connection with the audience deepened. Her performance was vulnerable and genuine, and it was clear that she poured her heart into every word. By the time she finished, the room erupted in applause. All four judges stood for a well-deserved standing ovation, and even Simon Cowell, often the most reserved of the panel, joined in the applause. The judges unanimously agreed to send her through to the next round, recognizing her unique talent and the emotional impact of her audition. It was a triumphant moment for Gabriella, one that marked a major milestone in her career.

Gabriella’s audition was featured in episode eight of the season, which also happened to be the final round of auditions. Over 150 acts received “yes” votes this season, but only 36 will move on to the live shows. With a three-week break before the series resumes, fans will have to wait to see if Gabriella is among the lucky few who will continue to compete for the top prize. Regardless of whether she advances, her audition has already left a lasting impression and garnered widespread support from viewers around the world.

For those who have followed Gabriella’s career from the beginning, her appearance on AGT is a welcome comeback. Back in 2019, she made waves during the second season of France’s Destination Eurovision with her song “On cherche encore (Never Get Enough).” The track quickly became a favorite among fans, and Gabriella seemed poised for a big breakthrough. However, despite her growing popularity, she was eliminated in the semi-finals. That year, Bilal Hassani went on to win the competition with his song “Roi.” Though her Eurovision journey was cut short, Gabriella’s talent never went unnoticed, and her fans continued to support her.

Now, with her powerful audition on America’s Got Talent, Gabriella Laberge has reignited her career and introduced her remarkable artistry to a new, global audience. Her ability to blend emotional storytelling with exceptional musicianship has made her a standout performer, and her journey on AGT is a testament to perseverance and passion. Whether she progresses to the live shows or not, Gabriella has already achieved something remarkable—she’s reminded the world of her extraordinary talent and proven that dreams are worth pursuing. Fans everywhere are excited to see what comes next for this gifted artist, and her audition will be remembered as one of the most touching and memorable moments of the season.
