Singer Sara James had a lot to live up to on Americas Got Talent Tuesday. (Watch the video below.)
Before the 13-year-old from Poland performed, judge Simon Cowell told her, Ive got a good feeling about you for some reason. James validated Cowells vibe from her first breakout note of Billie Eilish s Lovely.
Ive heard a lot of singers over the years, but wow, Cowell said afterward, adding: You have a real star glow about you.
Cowell pressed the Golden Buzzer to catapult James to the live rounds.
James performance had garnered more than 1.3 million views on the AGT YouTube channel by Wednesday morning.
