Jessica Sanchez was named the winner of the twentieth season of America’s Got Talent. She was a contestant on the show’s very first season, and it’s so nice that she went back after twenty years to finally win it.
And she won while being nine-week pregnant!
She actually surprised everyone when she was seen during the auditions of AGT20 with an announcement that she’s now married and pregnant. She belted out Benson Boone’s Beautiful Things during the auditions and her performance earned her a golden buzzer from Sofia Vergara.
Her succeeding performances earned her praises from the judges and all over the internet – Alex Warren’s Ordinary, JVKE’s Golden Hour, and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ Die With A Smile.
Videos of her performances posted on the official YouTube channel of the show got the highest views as compared to the videos of the other contestants.
Jessica Sanchez’s win was indeed a long time coming, especially that her fans felt she got robbed when she ended up as just the runner-up in American Idol season 11.
Anyway, now that she has won, I can’t wait for her to give birth to that baby girl (yes, it’s a girl) and then eventually “restart” her music career.
Congratulations, Jessica!
