00:00 I wanna rock you.
00:06 I wanna rock you.
00:13 You are here every time as a judge waiting for that feeling, and that was what I was
00:19 waiting for, you know, something very beautiful and very heartfelt.
00:23 Sofia Vergara, so moved by a Brazilian singer on America's Got Talent that it moved her
00:29 to do this.
00:31 For me it's amazing.
00:35 But let's rewind to how we got there.
00:38 Contestant Gabriel first took the AGT stage during the season 18 auditions with a translator.
00:43 I don't speak English, sorry.
00:45 And is this your first time in America or you've been here before?
00:48 Yes, it's my first time in America and I'm making a dream come true because it's my childhood
00:54 dream to be here.
00:55 My first time here in the United States and I'm just realizing a dream to be here to sing
01:00 for you guys here in the United States.
01:02 Sure, he doesn't speak a great deal of English, but his talent shined through performing a
01:06 Whitney Houston classic, "Run To You."
01:08 [music]
01:37 To match that high note, the judges had some pretty high compliments.
01:42 I mean if Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey had a baby it would be Gabriel.
01:46 I mean it's like Whitney singing that is like, "Ahh!"
01:49 Up here it's like Mariah singing, it's like, "Wow!"
01:51 I did not expect that voice to come out of you.
01:54 You sound like the best and finest pop diva there ever was.
01:59 Thank you.
02:00 You're just so interesting.
02:02 I can tell that you've sang in church and you don't know how good you are.
02:09 It was amazing.
02:11 What is it taking to impress you?
02:13 Personally, I like the person or the people, the talent, and then normally for me it's
02:23 stuff I've never seen before.
02:24 As for Sofia, Gabriel's performance left her speechless.
02:28 I don't have words.
02:29 That was so perfect, spectacular.
02:32 Your voice is beautiful.
02:34 Your energy, who you are, it was like perfect.
02:38 Thank you so much.
02:40 But before the judges could vote, the actress only had one thing on her mind, hitting that
02:44 golden buzzer.
02:46 [music]
02:56 Congratulations!
02:58 You're so good!
02:59 Back in April, ET spoke with the Colombian star at the AGT season 18 kickoff.
03:04 To me, it's about being different.
03:06 Sofia told us she's looking for talent that stands out.
03:09 We are watching the same acts, you know, the same singing, the same dancing, but there's
03:14 something about people that make it different and that's what I'm looking for always.
