Heidi Klum was the first to react to Angelica\u2019s performance, saying, \u201cAngelica, you are like the little boss lady that you are. You came here to win. I can see that. I can feel that.\u201d Mandel then pressed the golden buzzer for Hale, telling her, \u201cWhen people show up on this show, the level of competition is much higher. Just by the title, you are amongst champions. You show up and you ripped the ceiling off this theater. That was your fight song. And if I can do anything, I\u2019m gonna help you win this fight.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The young singer, who bursted into tears, responds, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can\u2019t believe this is actually happening to me.
