Six-Year-Old Zoe Erianna Sings Lady Gaga — And Wins Over All Four AGT Judges. When six-year-old Zoe Erianna stepped onto the America’s Got Talent stage in 2023, she brought a confidence that immediately caught the judges’ attention. Originally from Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, Zoe had been singing since she was very young. Before her performance, Simon Cowell asked whether she believed she could win the competition. Zoe confidently answered yes, showing that she was ready to embrace the big opportunity. She then revealed her song choice: Lady Gaga’s popular hit “Born This Way.”
As the music began, Zoe delivered a cheerful performance full of personality. She added playful hand movements, expressive gestures and hair flips that made the audition entertaining to watch. Although the song is associated with Lady Gaga’s bold style, Zoe brought her own youthful energy to the stage. Rather than appearing nervous in front of the cameras and a large audience, she seemed to enjoy every moment, prompting smiles and enthusiastic reactions from the judges.
Zoe’s charm extended beyond her singing. During the introduction, she told the judges that Sofia Vergara was her favorite, creating a sweet moment that delighted the panel. Her confidence and stage presence helped make the audition memorable, and the audience responded with enthusiastic applause. When it was time to vote, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara all said yes, allowing Zoe to advance beyond the initial audition stage.
Despite receiving four yes votes, Zoe’s journey ended during the judges’ deliberations, before the live shows. She did not receive a Golden Buzzer, but her audition remained a charming example of a young performer enjoying the spotlight. Her dream of buying a golden convertible and a pink Barbie Dream Camper added another memorable detail to her appearance. At just six years old, Zoe showed how confidence, enthusiasm and personality can make a talent-show audition stand out.
