No one expected such a small angel to have such a powerful voice, but when 14-year-old Iveta Tumasonite sang Lady Gaga’s hit Never Love Again from the Oscar-nominated film A Star Is Born, everyone was shocked. A bright new star appeared before the world that night.
When 14-year-old Iveta Tumasonyte took to the stage on IGT and announced that she would be singing “I’ll Never Love Again” from the hit film “A Star Is Born”, the judges must have had doubts as this song is not an easy one to tackle. Even Lady Gaga, in various interviews, has admitted the challenges of this incredibly demanding piece; most singers simply do not have the necessary range to succeed.
When Iveta, 14, took to the IGT stage and announced that she would be singing “I’ll Never Love Again” from the hit movie “A Star Is Born,” the judges may have had their doubts as this song is not an easy one to tackle. Even Lady Gaga in various interviews admitted the challenges of this incredibly demanding piece; most singers simply don’t possess the necessary range to succeed.
However, Iveta is not like “most singers.” When she took the stage and belted out “I’ll Never Love Again,” the judges and audience were absolutely mesmerized by the lightning range of the 14-year-old girl. Every note was nuanced with sublime beauty and perfection rarely heard on a TV show.
Without deliberation, warning, or delay, judge Michelle Visage stood up on her chair just seconds after Iveta’s performance ended and hit the famous Golden Buzzer, allowing her to bypass the upcoming “Judge Cuts” and send the singer directly to the semi-finals.
Her mother, herself an accomplished pianist, says that her daughter has been singing since she could talk, but insists that Iveta’s musical talent goes back to her grandfather.
“No doubt her musical talents came from my side of the family, and her grandfather is a great drummer. We’re incredibly proud of her,” says Iveta’s mum, glowing.
After taking part in Ireland’s Got Talent, Iveta says she is more determined than ever to fulfill her musical aspirations. “I don’t want to just be a singer. I want to be a producer, a songwriter and learn as much as I can,” she says.
