14-year-old Sara James took off to the stars with this incredible rendition of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” on America’s Got Talent.
The Polish native took to the AGT stage impressing Simon Cowell so much during her audition round, that the judge pressed the golden buzzer.
And it really was a performance worthy of gold.
This time, James fired up her rockets for a strong cover of Elton John’s signature song.
“I really have to make this performance inspire,” says James.
And she did just that as you’ll see with the audience and judges’ reactions!
Dressed in silver pants and shirt, the young singer took to the skies with an atmospheric twist to Elton John’s 1972 hit which had the audience hushed and stunned the entire time.
You bet she is!
“Rocket Man” was her second performance on the show. This performance will determine if she makes it into the finals, set to air on Sept. 13 and 14.
But by the looks of things, James is a sure bet with this amazing performance.
That’s the beauty of music and film. It can inspire people in so many different ways that it brings out the best in them.
Her rendition of John’s classic had James received a standing ovation from both the judges and audience.
A bold prediction by Cowell but no one knows if Elton John did in fact see and share this awesome rendition.
James, for her age, has such an impressive command of her voice. And her presence on stage is certainly very magnetic.
There’s a charm to her, a charisma that’s rare to find in young singers.
Heidi Klum called James “absolutely amazing,” while adding, “I also have to give it to Simon. You sure know how to pick the stars.”
And with James, they are absolutely correct.
Not a lot of aspiring young singers would think of covering classic hits. The risk of butchering the song and receiving negative feedback is all too real so most would shy away from the challenge.
But James is different.
She’s from a small town in Poland but it’s pretty evident now that there’s nothing tiny about her talent. James is confident, strong, and ready to fly away in a blaze of light.
With shows like AGT, sometimes, just participating is enough to put your name on the list of music execs.
There have been many singers who went on to become famous without winning a talent show.
But in spite of her stunning vocals, James remains humble.
“It’s crazy, it’s mad,” she said. “I’m just a teenager from Poland, I don’t even know what I’m doing here, do you know what I mean? Thank you so much to all the judges. I’m so grateful.”
With an attitude like that, this young Polish wonder can touch the stars on her rocket.
