Glennis Grace delivered an unforgettable performance on America’s Got Talent when she took the stage and wowed the judges with her breathtaking cover of Whitney Houston’s Run to You. The Dutch singer, already well-known in her home country, introduced herself as a 39-year-old mother who had been singing for years but was now chasing her dream on a global stage.
From the moment she started singing, it was clear that she had something special. Her voice carried the same rich, soulful tone that made Whitney Houston legendary, yet she infused the song with her own heartfelt emotion. The audience was captivated, and the judges were visibly moved.
Simon Cowell, known for his tough critiques, was clearly impressed. He noted how difficult it is to cover a Whitney Houston song without sounding like an imitation, yet Glennis managed to honor the original while making it uniquely her own. Fellow judges Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Howie Mandel also showered her with praise, calling her voice “incredible” and “out of this world.”
Beyond her vocal talent, what made Glennis’ audition even more touching was her story. She spoke about how she had dedicated much of her life to raising her son and putting her own dreams on hold. Now, she was stepping onto the world stage to prove that it’s never too late to pursue one’s passion. The emotional depth in her performance reflected that journey, making her rendition of Run to You all the more powerful.
