Cakra Khan is a perfect illustration of how appearances can be deceiving. Khan entered the well-lit *America’s Got Talent* stage wearing a basic beige jacket, and his composed manner belied his amazing talent.
With his stirring performance of “Make It Rain,” the Indonesian singer, a fervent fan of blues and soul, astounded the crowd. Everyone was enthralled by his deep, soulful voice, but Simon Cowell quickly ended the performance.
Cowell acknowledged, “You have a great voice, but I didn’t like the song choice,” as jeers rang out from the audience. Have you got anything else?
Khan gave a nod and began playing “No Woman, No Cry,” a heartfelt song that his father used to play for him. The judges and audience stood up this time due to his passionate performance and high-pitched voice.
Sofia Vergara said his voice as “spectacular,” while Heidi Klum commended his “unique, sexy, raspy voice.” Even Cowell said, “I absolutely love your voice,” despite his first criticism.
“It’s uncommon to hear a voice like yours—memorable and emotional,” Howie Mandel continued. You’re great.
Khan received four resounding yeses and declared that if he won the $1 million prize, he would use it to construct an animal refuge. The audience is eager to see this passionate talent’s next move.
