authorAnna Christina is just barely a tween, from Henderson, Nevada, USA, and she’s ripping through songs and playing the piano like a champion.
To be able to have such control and awareness over your voice at a young age takes enormous skill. She claims she spends so much time with her piano. It’s where she goes when she’s sad or worries about something. It’s no wonder the poor girl is shaking behind the scenes! Here she is about to go on the “America’s Got Talent” stage with her biggest supporter, her mom, cheering her on. The girl mentions how much her mom’s support means to her. “Like my piano, she’s always been there and she always will be, and I don’t have to worry about anything as long as she’s there.” She’s made it this far, and now she’s ready to show the world what she’s capable of.
Anna Christina steps on stage in front of the whole house, and after a little chat with the judges, she sits at the piano. The girl’s incredible dedication and talent become obvious once Howard gives her the go ahead and she unleashes her inner diva–a voice no one expected she had. Anna Christina is singing “House of the Rising Sun,” an old American folk song. It’s a pretty mature song choice that requires a serious set of pipes, but she’s no shrinking violet.
This girl doesn’t waste time showcasing her talent. Her first note comes out strong and hard, and she’s got the audience and judges eating from the palm of her hand. Howie Mandel’s facial expression says it all. He’s wowed, impressed and generally, just at a loss for words. Same with Howard Stern who’s pretty hard to impress, to begin with! Her raw power is put to use immediately and doesn’t let up for her entire performance. The young girl finishes beautifully and mom is in tears, proud of her beautiful, talented little girl!
