Kristen Cruz has around has 2.2 million followers on TikTok.

She sings while making drinks, which in itself is cool enough but it’s that unbelievable voice that adds spice to her shakes.

The 19-year-old sensation comes from Crowley, Texas and she just wants to sing.

Cruz would rather perform than work a job day in and day out.

She was on her way to Home Depot in the hopes of getting a job but then decided to pursue her passion.

“I wanna sing,” Cruz said. “I don’t wanna not believe in myself and not try. I want to inspire people, to make them feel that you don’t have to be anything else but yourself. I don’t have to be the industry standard.”

Her song of choice was Everybody Loves an Outlaw’s “I See Red“, which is so perfect for her style. None of the four judges were expecting that kind of tone and power from the teenager.

Cowell was so impressed with Cruz, he said,

“Was that really you singing? I was surprised also because we have a lot of overconfident singers who come out here and they’re dreadful. Your voice is what I would call ‘seasoned.’ You’re not like someone just starting. Your range, your tone. You have great taste by the way because it was a great, great choice of song.”

Howie Mandel then added, “You open your mouth and you’re on fire,” which led to Heidi Klum saying, “I love everything about you. You are a star already in the making. You just have a real gift, you just have ‘it’.

Sofia Vergara adored Cruz. “The moment you started singing you became so powerful, so confident. It was unexpected, and it was sexy.”
