Who is Putri Ariani?Īriani’s dream has always been to launch her own singing career, telling the Judges before her performance that she hopes to one day be a Grammy-winning singer like Whitney Houston, but her path to stardom has had a unique challenge. The two performances had multiple AGT Judges comparing the teen from Indonesia to an “angel” and earned her the coveted Golden Buzzer from Cowell, which sent her straight to the live rounds of the competition.

“This song is special for you, Simon,” Ariani told him, before launching into Elton John’s “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word,” captivating the crowd once again. Just one song wasn’t enough for America’s Got Talent Judge Simon Cowell, who was so blown away by 17-year-old Putri Ariani’s “amazing” voice he took to the stage and asked her to play him a second song.

Watch AGT Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock.
