Hello. What is your name? My name is Dory Johnson. Dory, how old are you? I’m 11. And where are you from? I’m from Louisville, Kentucky. What is your talent? So, I’m a singer. Oh. Is that what you want to do when you grow up? All of that? Yes. I want to be on Broadway and be in movies.

 And I want to be in Hamilton and Wicked. Did you ever dream of coming to AGT? I watch AGT like almost every day. Simon, you are my favorite because you keep it real like my mama. Somebody likes me and thank you so much. So, okay, so we’re ready for you. Good luck tonight. Thank you. [Music] [Applause] Lying beside you, here in the dark, feeling your heartbeat with mine.

So now I come to you with open arms, nothing to hide. I believe what I say. So here I am with open eyes. Hoping you see what you love to me. Open heart. But now that you come back tonight and today and I need you to stay. Yeah. Yeah. So now I come to you with all eyes open. You’ll see what you love means to me. [Applause] [Music] Everyone’s on their feet.

Thank you. Do you mind if I ask you to sing up to the chorus uh without the backing track? Yes. Yeah. All right. You got it. [Applause] So now I come to you with arms, nothing to hide. Believe what I say. So here I am with open eyes, open you see what you still need. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] How do you feel about that to be here? I’m just so happy.

I thought that that was amazing, Dory. I think you’re definitely have a place on Broadway. Good. Is it the track away? Less is more. You’re a better singer than even what you performed today. You are so much better. I love what you did. Thank you. I’m very happy also that Simon took the music away because the music was just in the way.

 And I think all the the path that you’re going to go, your wish, I think will come true. I have a good feeling about you. I think you know the kind of singer you want to be, where you want to end up, which is really important. Yes, I think you have such a distinctive great voice. Thank you. I think you’re going to get better and better.

It’s so difficult to say what will happen in the future. What I can say, I promise you, is things are just going to be amazing for you. Thank you. Really, I’d love to be the first person to say yes. Thank you. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]
