A big performance with big emotional impact! Sofia Vergara was overwhelmed during Tuesday’s <\/span>America’s Got Talent<\/em><\/a> by her <\/span>Golden Buzzer recipient, singer Gabriel Henrique<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n ET’s Deidre Behar spoke with Vergara after Tuesday’s fifth live qualifying round, and she opened up about one of the most impressive acts of the nights —\u00a0Henrique’s high-note hitting performance of\u00a0“Something Beautiful” by Jacob Banks.<\/span><\/p>\n “I mean, it was super emotional,” Vergara said of her tearful, joyous response to the epic number. “I was prepared for him to be good, but never to be this amazingly good.”<\/span><\/p>\n According to Vergara, Henrique’s song choice was far from what she or the other judges expected, considering he’d first blown them away — <\/span>and earned Vergara’s Golden Buzzer<\/a> — during the audition rounds with a rendition of “Run to You” by Whitney Houston<\/span><\/p>\n “I was surprised by the song because, you know, it’s a very difficult song, it’s a song that I don’t think we were expecting,” Vergara said. “I think we were expecting, like, a diva song, and then he was gonna go crazy.”<\/span><\/p>\n “And so, at the beginning, I was like, ‘Aye, no, he’s not going to be able to go as high as he can with this song,'” she continued. “[But] you saw it. You heard it!”<\/span><\/p>\n “It was like giving me goosebumps!” she added. “It was super crazy, because he’s so lost in his performance. It’s really, really something special to watch in person.”<\/span><\/p>\n Fans will have to wait until tomorrow to see if Henrique gets enough votes to move onto the finals, but Vergara has high hopes, “Because he really deserves to.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Although I have to say that it’s going to be difficult this season, because there are so many great talents,” she added.<\/span><\/p>\n Season 18 of <\/span>America’s Got Talent <\/span><\/em>is quickly approaching its finale, which will cap off a particularly interesting and challenging year for Vergara herself — who <\/span>split with husband Joe Manganiello after seven years of marriage<\/a>, and has subsequently been living her best life with her close friends.<\/span><\/p>\n “It’s been an interesting year for me. A lot of changes,” Vergara shared. “A lot of good and craziness. Bad things happened, and good things happened.\u00a0A mix of what makes life so entertaining and interesting. So I can’t complain.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I’ve had a great, great time. And I mean there’s always time for more good stuff [to come],” she shared.<\/span><\/p>\n
