‘America’s Got Talent’ Runner-Up Angelica Hale Performs In NYC For 7,000 Fans

“America’s Got Talent” Season 12 runner-up Angelica Hale’s career is just starting!

After placing second in the hit NBC reality TV competition, the 10-year-old singer headed to New York City to perform in front of 7,000 people. On her Instagram account, Hale shared a photo of herself during one of her song numbers. In her caption, the Filipino-American native thanked the fans for being amazing and energetic during her live show, as well as for making her feel all their love.

Following her stint in “America’s Got Talent” Season 12, Hale will be joining winner Darci Lynne Farmer in two upcoming shows in Las Vegas. Tickets for the Nov. 3 and 4 events are already being sold online. Hale and Farmer will be performing at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the said dates together with Light Balance and Preacher Lawson.

Meanwhile, even though Hale did not bring home the $1 million grand prize, she still wants to continue pursuing great things. While speaking with The Wrap, she said, “I want to keep striving for big things. I want to set higher goals in my life, like having big concerts, traveling around the world, making my own songs. I am still so very happy and so grateful to have been actually in the finals, and I got to this point, so it’s really unbelievable.”

While on the show, “America’s Got Talent” Season 12 judges Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell and Heidi Klum predicted that Hale could win. But the odds were also in Farmer’s favor since she’s one of the youngest singing ventriloquists to have ever auditioned in the show.

In the end, Farmer was also grateful to have shared the stage with her good friend, Hale. “I’m so overcome with joy that she was with me in the top two. It was really, really hard for her to not get a happy ending and win, but she’s so happy for me, and it makes me feel good that she’s supporting me,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
