The stage is set, the lights are dimmed, and the audience is buzzing with anticipation.
As the camera pans across the auditorium, a young woman named Summer Rios steps onto the stage of America’s Got Talent 2023.
Hailing from Brunswick, Ohio, Summer’s presence exudes a mix of excitement and nervousness.
She reveals that she’s been singing since she was four but hasn’t performed much due to her anxiety.
The conversation takes a light-hearted turn when Summer mentions her current job.
She’s a manager at Pizza Hut, crafting pizzas day in and day out.
She humorously shares that she once worked with her ex-boyfriend at the same place, but he’s no longer in the picture.
The judges chuckle, sensing the underlying tension, and Simon Cowell cheekily hopes the ex isn’t watching.
As the laughter subsides, the atmosphere becomes electric.
Summer takes a deep breath, and as the first notes escape her lips, it’s evident that she’s a hidden gem.
She delivers a soulful rendition of “Something in the Orange” by Zach Bryan. Her voice, rich and melodic, fills the auditorium, captivating everyone present.

Summer’s performance is raw and emotional, making it evident that she connects deeply with the song’s message.
The audience is spellbound, hanging onto every note, feeling every emotion she conveys.
As the song concludes, the room erupts in applause.
The judges, visibly impressed, take a moment to gather their thoughts.
Simon Cowell, never one to mince words, praises Summer’s choice of song and her incredible voice.
He believes she should be showcasing her talent on bigger stages rather than slicing pizzas.
The other judges chime in with their feedback. One mentions how Summer’s voice reminded her of a young Rihanna, while another emphasizes the beauty of her vocal tone.
The consensus is clear: Summer Rios is a star in the making.
The voting segment is tense, but it’s no surprise when the verdict is announced.
