PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: In the latest episode of ‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 19, Cuban singer Dian Rene sang an English version of Jennifer Lopez’s song Una Noche Más, despite having to learn it in English in just one night.
Shortly after, Simon Cowell interrupted the singer’s performance and told him it was unfair to judge him based on only one day of learning a song in English. Simon advised him to come back after practicing another song.
Dian was not eliminated and returned after selecting a new song to perform for the judges. At the end of the episode, he came back for his second audition and impressed the judges by singing a song in his native language.
“What a difference. That’s a different person,” Simon told Sofia Vergara.
Talking of Dian’s performance, Sofia said, “I think this is you. This sounds like you. I mean the other song I don’t think it is going to help you with anything in Spanish, in English or Chinese. It was beautiful.”
“You got the party started in here. Everyone was moving, grooving with you. You sounded great. You performed great. I’m so happy that you had that second chance and I think you really nailed it,” Heidi Klum added.
Howie Mandel continued, “You are a joy to watch. You are just a really good performer and you deserve to be here.”
