Her performance earned her a standing ovation from all the judges and the audience. Mandel lauded her for being so young, confident, and talented in comparison to those older than her who would sweat and perform under par.

"I remember hitting the Golden Buzzer.”

Cowell also praised the young opera singer saying:

“You’re just, like, a normal person. To have a voice like this is not something you can train to get, it genuinely is a gift.”

Leno was next adding:

“Just the fact that from a child comes an honesty and a truth, I feel like I’m a witness to something extremely special. At some point in my career, people say, ‘What do you remember most?’ And I remember hitting the Golden Buzzer.”

The television personality completed his sentence by pushing the Golden Buzzer showering an excited Beasha with golden confetti. The comedian then stepped on to the stage and hugged the little girl who was beaming with joy.
