They say what goes around, comes around. That can be true in life and the entertainment world. For example, Jessica Sanchez was a contestant on the freshman season of America's Got Talent when she was nine years old. The little girl was disheartened by not going further in the competition, per Good Housekeeping. But she didn't quit. Sanchez gave it a go on American Idol in 2010. This time, she fared better, finishing second behind winner Phillip Phillips.

Now 29, she recently decided she was ready to aim for AGT again. Sanchez appeared on the talent showcase's July 15 episode, 20 years after her initial try. She performed "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone, getting a standing ovation for the sensational cover. It was polished, professional, and perfect. The hard-to-please Simon Cowell, who is a former American Idol judge and is now on AGT, said this. "I was saying earlier — the only people that matter are the people behind us. I think they like you!"
Judge Sofia Vergara Was Floored By Sanchez' Performance
Vergara was stunned by Sanchez' voice. She said, "I think there is something very special that happened on this stage with you. It's so amazing that we're on the 20th anniversary, the 20th season of AGT. You're here again after 20 years, you're pregnant ... I mean, I really don't understand what happened in these 20 years, but I guess they were meant to be because this was a special moment. I think that you deserve this."
She gave Sanchez the Golden Buzzer. It was very well-deserved indeed.
Fans Were Wowed By Sanchez
Many voiced their opinions on YouTube. Quite a few were as thrilled by her as the judges were.
