Two years later and this song sung by the incredible Barbara Padilla STILL gives me the chills! I can not WAIT for her to finally release her first CD. May God always bess her, and bless US with her magnificant powerful voice!
I thought Jackie Evancho seemed a little human tonight..I feel like this song was just too mature/big for her age. Granted she is immensely talented and has so many years to develop. But it takes someone like Barbara with much more experience to make Ave Maria work.
@mariahfan444 agreed. jackie is uber talented, but I have a few concerns w/her. 1. is like you said, she cannot put the emotion and strength into her singing that some songs require at ten. 2. If she isn't careful she's going to blow her voice out by 20. 3. (it doesn't matter anymore) but before she didn't win, I questioned the decision of a parent to put her on a show where she would potentially have to perform many nights a week in a city not known as the best environment for a ten year old.
she was the one who suppose to win , great voice Barbara and best of luck goes out to you more than million she will make with this voice ... i love Mexicans
Maybe she should've won, but the fact is, reality competitions are democratic. The people vote. And the majority wins. It sucks sometimes (nothing against Kevin Skinner, but he didn't deserve the win), but it's a fact of life. You don't like democracy on these shows, start a petition to let the judges vote for the winner, but remember that they don't always choose wisely (The dog act over Charles, Grandma Lee over, well, anybody?) She's awesome, and everyone knows it. Be happy with that.
I suppose professional opera singers will find flaws in her performance. Every country must have great opera singers. In Mexico there is a very good lady called Maria Alejandres. So it must be difficult for here in such a competitive world. She gave me Goosebumps. She is awesome and such a beautiful Hispanic lady.
Well she is Mexican too... She's from Guadalajara Jalisco... but it doesn't matter really where she's from. We all know that she's very talented...and inspiring to others, specially to those survivors. God Bless!!!
barbara padilla what an angel you are.... takes my breath away, you don't belong to vegas you belong to way bigger stages, you are just wanderfull, we all love you, good luck to you and god bless you. ps, pls bring jerry springer back, don't really like this guy
being a musician my self i find it hard to believe that this wonderful singer was upstaged. We have to remember when one door closes another opens. who knows what riches are behind door #2. Good luck in everything you do Barbara and may all your wishes come true. A. Padilla
America has made some horrible decisions this year: Kris Allen and Kevin Skinner winning over ADAM LAMBERT, AND BARBARA PADILLIA !!!! ADAM AND BARBARA WERE BETTER PERFORMERS THAN KRIS ALLEN AND KEVIN SKINNER!!!! I HOPE THAT ADAM AND BARBARA HAVE MORE SUCCESS THAN THE WINNERS!!!!!!!! End of rant!!!!
I think is got to do with both of them being manorities. Don't really want to get into this but I tink is true. Adam being Gay and Barbara being Mexican... Remember this is America's got talent... But they don't want the obvious to be on top...
@screechingsoul I agree... Nick Cannon is a much better host than Jerry Springer. Then again, MANY people would have been a better host than Jerry Springer. But anyway, Barbara's look and voice here are both stunning for all the right reasons.
@centurione55 Wow. just about everything you said in this comment was stupid. it takes real talent to make a fool of yourself in 4 sentences. Maybe you should audition.
@centurione55 RECYCLED PERCUSSION should have won! Now they have their own show at the MGM Grand! Time will tell if Kevin Skinner actually deserved to win AGT. Barbara is coming out with her debut CD very soon. If Kevin can sell more CD's than Barbara, then I will gladly admit that I was wrong about him.
Yes, Barbara should of won hands down, but don't worry, you will see her Star shine alot brighter then Skinner, who could not even hold a tune with Thelma Houston! His final performance was not even good at all, echh...WAY TO GO BARBARA, WAY TO GO......
First off screw americas taste.....Fact remains Vegas could do no justice to her.....She belongs HEADLINING THE MET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...And Thats a fact jack!!!!!!!!!
I close my eyes and has visions of heaven..such a wonderful place to be

I feel that the show is run by personal preferences as we have seen the return of the Lollipop Girls with no talent at all.
I have nothing against kevin skinner but there were a lot more talented contestants.
This demonstrates that not always real talent wins.
P.S. Nick Cannon is a really bad host.
