Academy Award-nominee Gabourey Sidibe of 'Precious' will soon be cheering her mom on.As previously reported, Alice Tan Ridley, auditioned for the new season of 'America's Got Talent' this past March.
And the New York subway singer has now proved she's got some serious chops on Tuesday's installment of the hit NBC talent competition.The 58-year-old previously said, "I would not be entering the competition if I did not think I could do well." She added, "Singing is what I do and I know I can do this."
Ridley wowed judges Sharon Osbourne, Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan and even incited host Nick Cannon to yell, "Go 'head, mama" with her rendition of Etta James' classic 'At Last.'
Osbourne called her performance "unbelievable."
Mandel told her, "What an amazing voice. I love what you did, and you deserve to be heard by much more than everyone on the train."
And Morgan chimed in, saying, "In terms of raw talent, best audition of the day."
Ridley will now head to Las Vegas for the next round of 'America's Got Talent'

What an incredible talent. This is what a talent show is all about. I was in New York and ran into the woman. She is referred to as The Subway Singer. It was amazing how hundreds of people would pack the station to hear her sing. In some cases most including myself would wait for the next train only to enjoy her music. And you know what, she sings it better than the original singer.
At least, she sings it better than the puffy face crack head Whitney.
I pray for her and the daughter Gabbie for their rightful place in entertainment and the respect and honor yet for her daughter to claim.

I love the fact that she is not using her daughter to get discovered. I also thought she sounds better than the original singer of this song. I feel she can when. Takes me back to seeing my Mother playing her Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughn, Esther Phillips,Dionne Warwick, Johnny Mathis, Brooke Benton, Ray Charles, The Drifters, The Platters and her favorite, Sam Cooke. She still has those albums. She stills has some old 78's. Remember those? Miss Alice reminds me of these singers. She can SANG!!!

Unbelievable indeed! Amazing voice, amazing performance. The best singer ever in AGT. Not only she has the most powerful and melodic voice but her stage presence shows years of experience and passion. She sure deserves to win. So far, the best act of all.

She is a very good singer and she is already famous. Anyone who frequent the times square subway station, in New York, NY, has probably already heard her sing. My first time hearing her sing was one evening when I was on my way home. I heard a group of people yelling Alice!, Alice!, Alice!, as Alice was setting up her equipment. This was 3 years before we even heard of her daughter Gabby. I stopped and waited to hear her sing and I can honestly tell you, I was not disappointed. She has a beautiful voice.
