Pranysqa Mishra: A Young Star with a Powerful Voice
Pranysqa Mishra, a 9-year-old with a remarkable talent for singing R&B/Soul, amazed the judges on America’s Got Talent with her powerful voice and confident stage presence. The normally soft-spoken Tampa, Florida native surprised everyone, including Heidi Klum, who exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, I did not expect that. We expect a lot of things, but I did not expect that.”
Dressed in a ruffled dress and bow, Pranysqa appeared nervous as she took the stage. Simon Cowell even remarked that she looked like “an angel.” However, she soon stunned the audience with a fierce and sassy rendition of a Tina Turner song, displaying the confidence of a rock star.
Backstage, Pranysqa admitted to being nervous about Simon’s reaction, as her little sister encouraged her to aim for the Golden Buzzer. Her supportive parents were also present, cheering on their singing sensation.
The Inspiration Behind Pranysqa’s Singing Career
Pranysqa’s passion for singing began at a young age. She has already sung national anthems for major sports teams in the NBA, NHL, and MLB. Reflecting on her love for singing, she shared, “It makes me feel happy. Even when I was four years old, I would pretend to have a microphone and sing like I’m performing for the whole world.”
Her main inspiration is her grandmother, who has always encouraged her to sing with all her heart. After her AGT performance, Pranysqa called her grandma to share the exciting news. “My grandma always tells me to sing my heart out and that one day I would have a big stage,” she said. “My dream is coming true. I can’t believe it.”
Pranysqa’s Show-Stopping Performance
Pranysqa performed an extraordinary rendition of “River Deep – Mountain High,” a song released by Ike and Tina Turner in 1966. Her performance left the judges in awe, with Heidi Klum rocking out at the judges’ table and Sofia Vergara shouting “Bravo!” Pranysqa also mentioned Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston as her all-time favorites.
Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer Moment
Pranysqa’s emotional and powerful performance earned her the Golden Buzzer from Heidi Klum. When asked how it felt to be on the “biggest stage in the world,” Pranysqa admitted to feeling both scared and excited. Her confident performance and the subsequent standing ovation proved that fear couldn’t hold her back.
As the golden confetti fell, Pranysqa began to cry tears of joy, shaking in disbelief. Her family joined her on stage for a celebratory hug, and they all shared a heartfelt moment of happiness. Later, Pranysqa and Heidi face-timed her grandmother to share the news, adding to the emotional celebration. It’s clear that this talented young singer has a bright future ahead, and the Mishra family should stock up on tissues for the journey.
