Discovering a Young Star
Emanne Beasha was born in Amman, which is the capital city of Jordan. Her father is from Jordan and has Circassian family roots, and her mother is American.
Emanne started singing opera when she was only six years old. Opera is a type of play where the words are sung instead of spoken. Her parents first noticed her special singing talent when she was just two years old!
Winning Arabs Got Talent
In 2017, when Emanne was eight years old, she tried out for Season 5 of Arabs Got Talent. During her audition, she received the "Golden Buzzer." This is a special award from the judges that sends a performer straight through to the live shows.
On May 20, Emanne won the final competition. She sang a famous song called "Time to Say Goodbye." For winning, she received a prize of $130,000.
After her big win, Emanne was honored by King Abdullah II of Jordan. She received a special medal called the King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein Medal of Merit (Gold). This happened during Independence Day celebrations on May 25, 2017. Emanne was the youngest person ever to receive this important medal.
Competing on America's Got Talent
In 2019, Emanne decided to audition for Season 14 of America's Got Talent. For her audition, she sang a very famous opera song called "Nessun Dorma." All four judges said "yes," which meant she could move on to the next round.
On August 6, 2019, Emanne appeared in the "Judge Cuts" round. The famous TV host Jay Leno was a guest judge. Emanne performed another opera-style song called "Caruso." Jay Leno was so impressed that he also gave her his Golden Buzzer! This was very special because it meant Emanne was the only person to get a Golden Buzzer on two different "Got Talent" shows around the world.
This Golden Buzzer sent her straight to the live quarter-finals.
Emanne's Journey to the Finals
On August 27, 2019, Emanne sang a song called "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana" from an opera called La Wally. This was for her performance in the quarter-finals of America's Got Talent. After people voted, Emanne moved on to the semifinals.
In the semifinals, she sang an Italian version of the song "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams. The judges loved her performance. She then advanced to the finals through the "Judges' Choice."
In the finals, Emanne sang "La mamma morta" from an opera by Umberto Giordano. On the night the winners were announced, she performed "Time to Say Goodbye" again, this time with the famous pianist Lang Lang. Emanne did not make it into the Top 5 acts, but she finished in an impressive ninth place overall.
After the show, Emanne was supposed to join famous violinist André Rieu on his tour in North America. She performed with him in Tampa on March 11, 2020. However, the rest of the tour had to be canceled or postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
