During the last week of America’s Got Talent 2024 tryouts, Brooke Bailey’s stirring performance of Aretha Franklin’s “Ain’t No Way” won over the judges.
Brooke made the classic her own by showcasing her powerful tone, vibrato, and wide range in an early release clip. She broke down in tears at the conclusion of her performance because she was so overcome with passion.
Heidi Klum remarked, “You had me right at the beginning.” “This stage is yours. My day’s favorite audition.
“Your voice is incredible,” Howie Mandel continued. The future has great promise for you.
Sofia Vergara praised Brooke’s emotional delivery, calling it “spectacular.”
Simon Cowell admired Brooke’s dedication, saying, “If you go further, I’d suggest having a band behind you for even more impact.”
All four judges gave Brooke a resounding yes, sending her to the live shows. Her performance evoked memories of Jordin Sparks’ winning moment on American Idol in 2007.
