America’s Got Talent season 17 is still in the middle of auditions, but Kristen Cruise’s performance has caused a divide between fans and celebrities.
Hailing from Crowley, Texas, Kristen has revealed she wants to pursue her dream of singing and inspire others along the way.

Encouraged by judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara, Kristen performed a stunning version of “I See Red” by Everybody Loves An Outlaw.

But the most remarkable words may come from Simon. Although the British tycoon was previously known for not sparing his competitors harsh criticism, he has recently softened his stance. That said, this hasn’t taken away from his expert opinion, and he hasn’t held back when it comes to Christine.
