“You sounded so good up there,” said Heidi Klum. “I love the look that you’re serving. I think you’re so cute and you’re a very gutsy young lady. I’m very proud of you. Well done.”
Sofia Vergara gushed, “Mia, I think you are a star,” as the singer’s parents became emotional backstage.
“What I think is cool,” said Simon Cowell, “Is that you kind of grew with the song and that’s not easy. I think that means that you’ve got great taste, you know where you’re going.” He added, “I really, really, really like this audition.”
“I know there’s going to be another one!”
Howie jokes, “Can I give her her second yes? I know there’s going to be another one!” And indeed, the young singer received four yeses from the judges. “I’ll give her her first one!” Sofia said. Heidi and Simon followed with the third and fourth yeses.
Backstage, Mia shared with host Terry Crews that the audition experience was a “dream come true.”
