A Cappella. Aretha Franklin. 12 Years Old. Nobody in That Building Was Ready.

Three things that should never exist in the same sentence. A cappella. Aretha Franklin. 12 years old. Then Ansley Burns walked onto the AGT stage and made every single one of them exist simultaneously. Her backing track cut out mid performance. She kept singing. No music. No instruments. No backing track. Just a 12 year old girl from Easley South Carolina delivering Aretha Franklin's Think with nothing but her voice and her courage. Gabrielle Union praised her for handling the unexpected with complete confidence. Julianne Hough commended her composure. An entire building gave her a standing ovation. Nobody in that building was ready for any of it. Click "...more" to see all contestants & timestamps 🛑Wait!
