Pranysqa Mishra swept the judges after she belted out a powerful cover of the late Tina Turner's "River Deep, Mountain High" for her auditions at Season 19 of America's Got Talent.
At nine years old, Mishra, from Tampa, Florida, surprised judges Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, and Howie Mandel with her amazing audition.
"I always just love singing. It makes me feel happy. Even when I was four years old, I would pretend that I have a microphone, and I would sing like I'm singing to the whole world," Mishra said about her passion for singing.
In the interview, Mishra attributed her love for singing to her grandmother, who she revealed she would call after things went well.
When Cowell asked her favorite artists, the nine-year-old surprised everyone by saying they were Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Turner. When asked who her favorite judges were, Mishra confessed that it was Vergara and Klum.
As soon as the first beat of the song dropped, Mishra transformed into a seasoned performer with a powerful voice that would probably make Turner proud. Just before the chorus arrived, audiences had already screamed and applauded before launching to a standing ovation mid-performance as she went off with her riffs.

When the performance ended, everyone gave her a standing ovation.
"Oh my gosh, I did not expect that. We expect a lot of things, but I did not expect that," Klum said before giving her golden buzzer to Mishra. "I want you to call your grandmother and say that Heidi Klum pushed the Golden Buzzer for you."
As the young star basked in the moment, she said: "My dream is coming true. I can't believe it."
People in the comments praised Mishra for many things, including her musical abilities at such a young age.
"How is she 9 with that much control! The maturity and seasoning on her voice already! Her runs, her mixed belting into runs, her switching from head voice to belting was pretty amazing! She is a star! Being a powerhouse at 9, imagine at 20, my lord!" a user commented.
"Kid sang Tina Turner song like a strong powerful version of Tina Turner. She gave everybody a well deserved standing ovation. Happy to see her sing with much vibes and positivity. RIP Tina Turner," another wrote.
