Now, that’s a show-stopping number.

Teen singer Makayla Phillips busted out her secret weapon — an amazing set of pipes — during Tuesday’s “America’s Got Talent,” performing a rendition of Jessie J’s “Who You Are” that may have just secured her a slot in the Summer 2018 finals.

The young songstress’ cover of the British singer’s hit 2011 track was so powerful that it brought Mel B and Heidi Klum to their feet — along with everyone else in the house (and probably millions of NBC viewers at home.)

This is not the first time Phillips has wowed judges, and based on how good she was last night, it hopefully won’t be the last.
