00:00 You know what I really want to do?
00:04 Is this.
00:10 Sofia Vergara was left speechless on America's Got Talent. During Tuesday's episode,
00:17 the 51-year-old actress hit her golden buzzer for Brazilian singer Gabrielle
00:22 Henrique, who sang an amazing rendition of Whitney Houston's "Run to You."
00:27 And Sofia immediately ran to the 27-year-old.
00:30 Rewind to before he started singing, Gabrielle explained that he was visiting the U.S. from
00:44 Brazil for the first time and didn't speak English very well, so he had a translator on stage with him.
00:49 I don't speak English, sorry.
00:52 But you, yes you do, you have been. That's English.
00:57 Yes, more or less, but that's it.
01:01 It's a little bit, but just trying.
01:02 I'm 27 years old.
01:07 He's 27 years old.
01:08 And is this your first time in America or you've been here before?
01:11 My first time here in the United States and I'm just realizing a dream to be here
01:22 to sing for you guys here in the United States.
01:25 He then went on to sing the explosive song, which impressed all four judges
01:29 as they applauded his singing skills, with Heidi Klum starting off.
01:33 Gabrielle, I mean if Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey had a baby it would be Gabrielle.
01:38 I mean it's like Whitney singing that is like, "Ahh!" Up here it's like Mariah singing.
01:43 It's like, wow, I mean you have some...
01:44 I love Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston.
01:46 I mean, wow, you are incredible.
01:53 Then Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell agreed that Gabrielle
01:57 has what it takes to make it in the competition.
01:59 I did not expect that voice to come out of you.
02:02 You sound like the best and finest pop diva there ever was.
02:07 I would imagine if people are watching this now in the other room, they're gonna go,
02:11 "Did you hear that song? Come in and see who sang that."
02:14 You're amazing.
02:16 Thank you so much.
02:17 Gabrielle, people are gonna really like you.
02:21 Thank you.
02:23 You're just so interesting. I can tell that you've sang in church.
02:28 And you don't know how good you are.
02:32 It was amazing.
02:35 Thank you so much.
02:36 And last but not least, Sophia then poured out her feelings about Gabrielle's performance,
02:44 which brought her to hit that exciting button.
02:46 I mean, I don't have words. That was so perfect, spectacular.
02:51 Your voice is beautiful.
02:52 Your energy, who you are. It was like perfect.
02:56 Thank you so much.
02:59 I don't even know because you are here every time as a judge waiting for that feeling.
03:05 And that was what I was waiting for, you know, something very beautiful and very heartfelt.
03:11 I think it's time to vote, but I think, you know what?
03:19 What I really want to do is this.
03:45 Gabrielle is the last act to earn one of the four judges' golden buzzers this season.
03:50 Previously, blind singer Lavender Dark and Gello earned Heidi's.
03:55 Dance group MurmurMation earned Howie's.
03:58 Blind singer Poochie Ariani earned Simon's.
04:02 Atlanta Drum Academy earned host Terry Crews' and for the first time,
04:06 AGT created an audience golden buzzer, which was awarded to Mazanzi Youth Choir,
04:12 a group of singers from South Africa.
04:14 But the judges have not yet given out their group golden buzzer.
