Drexel Hill tween Arielle Baril wowed on last night's America's Got Talent singing Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro." The 11-year-old Baril said her brother trained her to sing at a young age. She's quite poised for 11, and her voice is incredible.

Judge Heidi Klum vibed with Baril early, ultimately showing her support by pressing the Golden Buzzer that sends young Ariel to the live show at Radio City Music Hall later this

FWIW, AGT has become a good show, very kind and supportive of the contestants. Heidi Klum is a class act and has a real nice personality. She seems to be a pretty good judge of talent.

This 11 year old is excellent. Take a look at the show, you might be surprised.

Wow! I actually wondered if it was her, too. Her speaking voice is totally different than her singing voice!

Thanks for posting. Someone sent me this by email a few years ago when it first came out, and when I heard this one I was wondering how to find it. I hate to say it, but she’s a LOT better than Arielle Baril.

Same splendid song. But that Dutch girl is already an opera singer.

Oh, I’m certain that they have rounded up some good talent. Just not what I would be drawn to after 12 hours at work in order to decompress.

Not really sure that Klum is an expert, nay, a fan of opera.

I’ll venture a guess that she has been heavily coached by the show’s producers as to what to say.

That’s Showbiz!

Lovely quality for a young girl. The vibrato was nervousness. With confidence and experience, it will be fine. What a mature and poised young lady. She will go far in whatever she pursues.

There is no higher art than Opera.

All races see it.

I do watch the show and saw her Tuesday night...gave me chills, she’s very good.

There are some performers/acts that are silly, reminiscent of the Gong Show, but overall it’s a pretty good show. Love all the judges too. Howard Stern was never a favorite of mine but I like him on this show.

It’s wonderful to see such talent in youngsters. Unbelievable. Amria totally blew me away. She sings in a language she doesn’t speak and her tone is amazing. And no teacher. Here she is in front of ten thousand people in Maastricht, The Netherlands singing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0htOHTOtHY
