The blind 17-year-old singer from Indonesia told judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara that her dream was to become a famous singer like Whitney Houston, win a Grammy Award and hopefully attend Juilliard in New York City.‘America’s Got Talent’: Mzansi Youth Choir Stuns With Moving Tribute To Late Contestant NightbirdeCowell loved the original song performance so much, he asked her to sing a second song at the piano.
