Little Angelica Hale harbors grand dreams, and that’s more than acceptable.

Once you’ve had the chance to hear this exceptional 9-year-old sing, you might find it entirely plausible that she could be the next Whitney Houston.

However, the path to Angelica’s pursuit of her greatest passion, singing, wasn’t always paved with certainty.

At the tender age of 4, she endured a harrowing few weeks in the hospital. A priest was summoned to deliver the heart-wrenching news to Angelica’s parents that they would have to bid farewell to their beloved child, as her illness was so severe that even the doctors’ best efforts appeared futile.

Yet, against all odds, a miracle unfolded: Angelica made an astonishing and full recovery, defying the grim prognosis. She triumphantly left the hospital and returned home to her loving parents. Since that traumatic event, this young girl has dedicated herself to honing her singing skills and talents in recent years.

Furthermore, Angelica has exhibited remarkable stage presence and a gifted vocal ability. You can witness her incredible performance of «Rise Up» on America’s Got Talent below:
