America’s Got Talent recently featured a performer who may already be familiar to fans of international music competitions. Gabriella Laberge, a French-Canadian singer and violinist, delivered a striking audition that quickly captured attention. Some viewers recognized her from her earlier appearance on France’s Destination Eurovision in 2019, and her AGT performance introduced her talents to an even wider audience.

Ahead of her audition, Gabriella shared her hopes in a short video, explaining that music has always been her lifelong goal. Stepping onto the stage with her violin, she began with a graceful instrumental performance that immediately drew in the judges and audience. While most of the panel appeared impressed from the start, one judge seemed uncertain, creating a moment of tension early in the audition.

Her singing shifted the atmosphere in the room, earning strong reactions from the judges and a standing ovation from the audience. By the end of her audition, all four judges agreed to move her forward in the competition.

This appearance marks another important moment in Gabriella’s musical journey. After competing in Destination Eurovision with her song “On cherche encore (Never Get Enough),” she now has the opportunity to reach a global audience through America’s Got Talent. While the competition remains intense and only a limited number of acts will advance to the live shows, her audition has already left a lasting impression and reinforced her reputation as a versatile and compelling performer.
