She performed the song that helped her through her cancer treatments, and the celebrity judges were touched by her strength. It’s the most adorable thing I’ve seen all year!

The ‘America’s Got Talent judges got to witness a very special audition.
A six-year-old girl named Rosalyn has dreamed of auditioning for the show for ages, and thanks to Make-A-Wish Philadelphia and the Susquehanna Valley chapter, she got to do just that.
It was an amazing milestone celebration for her as she’s recently beat cancer.
Rosalyn was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when she was only three. She spent years receiving intensive medical treatments, including spinal taps, IV chemo, and daily chemo medication.
She powered through it all though, having entered remission earlier this year.
To celebrate, she got to fulfill her dream.
Before heading up on stage for taping, Rosalyn got to meet all the judges and received a few gifts from them as well.
“She was surprised to receive all the gifts but excited to start playing with them!” Rosalyn’s mother, Emily, told People .
She had a delightful time meeting the judges of her favorite show.
When asked who her favorite way, she pointed to Sophia Vergara, who gave her a hug and joked, “You have such good taste, little girl.”
When it was time for her to go on stage, host Terry Crews called Rosalyn “a star in her own world,” adding “we love her so much.”
She confidently jumped right into the song.
She sang a rendition of Avril Lavigne’s ‘Warrior’, during which the judges waved their arms back in forth to the music.
When she was finished, everyone stood up and gave her a hearty round of applause.
“I can’t say that I liked it, I loved it!” said Heidi Klum.
Howie Mandel followed up by saying, “You’re the most amazing singer I have ever heard!”
Vergara called her “the best act of the night” and said she was “gonna be a star.”
The biggest compliment of all came from Simon Cowell.
He gave her the Golden Buzzer, which immediately moves her forward to the live shows. Each judge only has one Golden Buzzer per season.
“I’m gonna make a prediction: the winner of AGT 2027 is Rosalyn,” Cowell said, “Remember where you heard it, that was brilliant!”
Rosalyn had an absolutely amazing experience.
“Rosalyn would like to tell everyone that it was amazing to go on America’s Got Talent , and everything was unreal,” her mom said.
She added later, “I want to point out that this is what donations to Make-A-Wish help accomplish, once-in-a-lifetime experiences – dreams for children.”
