It’s amazing how one moment can launch a young artist’s career—and that’s exactly what happened to Serena Rigacci back in 2014. She’d always dreamed of performing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” in front of a packed audience on Next Star, and when the moment came, she didn’t just deliver—she made history.

Wearing a simple pale pink lace dress, Serena stepped into the spotlight with grace beyond her years. From the very first note, the audience and judges were captivated—but that was only the beginning. As her voice soared with control and raw emotion, the room filled with cheers and cries of “Bravo!”

By the time she hit the iconic chorus, the crowd was already on its feet—and some couldn’t hold back their tears. Her performance, captured on Next Star’s cameras, was more than impressive; it was unforgettable.

Serena’s poise, talent, and heart made this performance a defining moment—and just the start of her journey.
