When 10-year-old Roberta Battaglia walked onto the America’s Got Talent stage, no one expected what was about to happen. Trembling with nerves and starstruck by the judges, the young Canadian girl seemed like any other sweet kid with a dream. But the moment she opened her mouth, the entire room went dead silent.
Traveling all the way from Toronto, Canada, Roberta revealed that singing on the AGT stage was a lifelong dream—one she held onto even while facing painful bullying from peers back home.
“It was always my dream to be on AGT… sometimes I do get bullied.” — Roberta Battaglia
Simon Cowell immediately offered words of wisdom, reminding her that talent and success are the ultimate answer to anyone who tries to pull you down. But nothing could prepare the panel for the powerhouse voice about to erupt from a 10-year-old.
A Voice So Powerful, Judges Thought It Was Fake!
Roberta took on Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s massive hit “Shallow”—a song notoriously difficult even for veteran adult vocalists.
From the very first note, her rich, deep, and mature tone left the judges looking at each other in sheer disbelief. Simon Cowell even joked afterward that it sounded like someone else was hidden behind her singing!
