Based on an interview new judge Sofia Vergara gave ahead of the season 15 premiere of America’s Got Talent, it’s no surprise that Battaglia was her very first golden buzzer pick. She told TV Insider, “I love when I get surprised. Like [if it’s] a little girl and then suddenly her voice [sounds] like a woman, and you close your eyes and you can’t realize it’s this tiny 10-year-old. Or when somebody looks very serious, and then suddenly he’s a really good comedian. I’m learning, but I am enjoying the surprises. One thing I didn’t realize is that I don’t love the sound of the ukulele.”

America’s Got Talent season 15 episodes air on Tuesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.
