10-Year-Old's Barbra Streisand Audition Earns Golden Buzzer
10-year-old Eleana Gabunada earned the coveted golden buzzer with her Barbra Streisand audition on Asia’s Got Talent. When this young talent took the stage, she brought everything that she had. As soon as she stepped up to the microphone, Eleana captivated the entire audience with her positive personality. And then she started to sing an awe-inspiring rendition of Barbra Streisand's 'Don't Rain On My Parade.’
“Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade”
This is a very difficult song to perform, especially for a young girl. There are so many high notes that it has a tendency to trip up even the most seasoned performers. But Eleana belted out the words in perfect fashion. This young girl may be small but she certainly possesses one big voice. And her performance definitely impressed the judges. She earned rave reviews for this entertaining performance. Judge David Foster was so impressed that he said, “There’s no doubt in my mind that if you want to be on Broadway one day, you will be.” And when it came time to vote, David decided that Eleana deserved more than just the usual ‘yes.’ He reached over the table and hit the golden buzzer sending this young talent right through to the next round. You can just see the look of joy and amazement on Eleana’s face as confetti flies down from the ceiling. I have a feeling that we will be hearing this name in the future.
