10-yearold Pinoy advances to ‘AGT’ semifinals
Peter Rosalita, a 10-yearold Filipino boy, electrified judges with his rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” making it to the semifinals of the popular reality competition “America’s Got Talent (AGT).”
“You are amazing. You are absolutely amazing. You were talking about how happy you are when you sing. You make me so happy when I sit here hearing you sing. You are so dapper. I have to tell you, I was the biggest fan of Whitney Houston and you really just did her proud. It was amazing. Good for you,” said supermodel Heidi Klum.
Sofia Vergara, on the other hand, admitted she had doubts about Peter but has since been convinced of his abilities.
“I cannot believe that that voice is coming out of you because it’s so impossible! You’re so tiny but you have this voice that’s unbelievable. The way you commanded the stage tonight was breathtaking,” she related.
Though Simon Cowell enjoyed Peter’s performance, he is hoping he would sing something “younger” next time.
“Choose a song next time that doesn’t feel like your mom has chosen it. Because you’re so good, so talented. I want to hear you do something younger next time. But don’t get me wrong. That was a fantastic performance,” was how he put it.
As for Howie Mandel, he said: “You are great, adorable. I love your suit. I love your style. What a professional. You are able to sing right through. The guy dropped a whole bag of confetti by accident, and you still sang through.”
