Season 17 american talents Full of talented musical acts, to a large extent Five out of six Golden Bell winners Either singing or playing instruments. Freckled Zelda may not have gotten the Golden Bell herself, but the self-proclaimed Musical Fairy made an impression on the judges by experimenting with the Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas. Her playoff performance led to some less rich comments from Simon Cowell… but a possible connection to Weird things fans!
For the qualifying performance, Freckled Zelda (real name Rachael Wilson but under her stage name of AGTHoping to take her to the finals, she sang “An Endless Story,” which should be familiar to any fan of the 1984 movie – which she referred to as the “OG fantasy movie” – and/or fans of Weird things Who watched season 3 with Netflix subscription And the Saw a duet of Dustin and Suzy.
When the singer spoke to CinemaBlend and other outlets after her playoff performance, she noticed that the song was back in popularity when Weird things Season 3 premiered with a nod to NeverEnding StoryAnd she answered and explained why she chose this song:
TRUE! I hope the Stranger Things crowd gets hurt, too! I’m a big fan of Stranger Things too. It’s great that they recreated the song for that… There were so many possibilities, but honestly, I wanted to get a song that perfectly fit my world. And I felt that “a never-ending story” did it. It’s a very charming song, and I feel like it was the best choice for me tonight.
What better song for the “music fairy” playing the ocarina as part of a million dollar prize quest and a Las Vegas stage show than the song “Never Ending Story” from the weird and beloved movie? If anything, it suits her subject better than Colors of the Wind did in her test.
However, Simon Cowell wasn’t as complementary to her qualifying performance as he was in the audition, and Howie Mandel wasn’t sold as much as Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum. Quill – from Talk about the live episode format Already creating a stir among fans When he flew with comedian Lis Larrabee in the middle of her set last weekAnd he didn’t have universal support from the public this time.
While speaking to the press after the August 16 qualifying episode, she considered whether or not she would change anything about her performance if she could come back, in light of Simon Cowell’s comments:
I am very happy with myself. I felt like I did everything as much as I could, and if I could change one thing it would be – I think the music was a little overpowering. A little too loud. But other than that, I feel like I’ve shown the world what kind of fairies I am, and I’m really happy with myself.
Freckled Zelda’s comment about believing the music was “a bit overbearing” actually reflected one of Cowell’s criticisms, when he said it was “lost in production”. Heidi Klum came to the singer’s defense by saying it wasn’t her fault, but Cowell didn’t seem to regret what he said. His comments didn’t dampen Freckled Zelda’s attitude or his view of what she had done. She shared the message she would give to others, after feeling judged and suspicious:
I’d like to tell the world that I’m living the dream, the magical fairy dream, and feel like I’m showing the world what the Music Fairy is all about. I am very happy with myself. You know, maybe Simon and Howie didn’t understand me, but who cares? I’m living the dream and I’m really happy with myself. And I show people as their true selves, like showing their true colours. Yes, just be you.
It is good to know that she stands by her performance despite the overwhelming praise from the judges. She definitely had the support of the audience, who waved lights throughout her song to match their cheers and applause. Plus, I had a little fun on Simon Cowell’s account, when she gave him his own Ocarina after he spoke out against her use of the tool in her test. Take a look at her latest performance:
