Jessica Sanchez reflects on her journey to ‘AGT’ win, pens heartfelt note for her baby
Filipino-American singer Jessica Sanchez, 30, was crowned the winner of "America's Got Talent" Season 20 on Sept. 25 (Philippine time), becoming the first Filipino to win the competition.
Her rendition of Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" in the auditions earned her a golden buzzer from judge Sofia Vergara.
For the finale, Sanchez performed Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga's "Die With a Smile," and later expressed her gratitude on Facebook, describing the win as a "reminder that dreams delayed are not dreams denied."
She reflected that her journey began over 20 years ago as a child with a big voice but shaky confidence, enduring countless auditions and rejections.
Sanchez previously competed in "America's Got Talent" in 2006 and was the runner-up in "American Idol" in 2012.
Now nine months pregnant, Sanchez is preparing to welcome her first child.
