A recent episode of Season 17 of America’s Got Talent had Kristen Cruz performing onstage. She sang one of the iconic songs of all time, “I See Red,” by Everybody Loves an Outlaw.

Cruz, of Irving, Texas, chatted with the AGT judges prior to her performance. She informed them she’d be singing songs while creating matcha, coffee, and protein smoothies.

She went on to say that her ambition was to “inspire others, to make them feel that they don’t have to be anything other than themselves.” The judges liked her delivery and were pulling for her.

They were, however, blown away by her stunning performance on the cover of Everybody Loves an Outlaw’s “I See Red.” The judges, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell, were taken aback by Cruz’s sweet voice.

Cruz received a standing ovation from both the AGT judges and the auditorium crowd. Simon stepped up to applaud the kid singer’s outstanding performance and gave him two thumbs up.

He continued, playfully asking Cruz, “Unbelievable!” Did you actually sing that? ” “You open your lips, and you’re on fire!” said Howie Mandel to the 19-year-old. “I want your voice!” screamed fellow judge Heidi Klum. “Me too,” Sofia Vergara said.

“The instant you began singing, you were so strong and so confident,” she added of the singer. “It was surprising and sexy!” Vergara said. Then, Cowell agreed to all of the praise given by the other judges, which is unusual. “You don’t need smoothies while you sing, believe me,” he said to the singer. The excellent singer received four “yeses” from the judges and advanced to the next round of AGT.
