Her journey so far
Firstly, her journey started in June when she auditioned for the show with the song “Tears Of Gold” by Faouzia. She gave a note perfect performance with outstanding vocal affectations matching those of the Canadian-Moroccan singer songwriter. This prompted a well deserved standing ovation from the audience as well as leaving judge Sophia Vergara open mouthed. You can watch the performance below.
Faouzia even left a comment praising the young Kazakh on the AGT YouTube channel.
She had to wait to perform her quarterfinal performance, until August exactly. This is due to the fact that the series like eveything this year was put on hold thanks to the Covid_19 pandemic.
Daneliya performed Harry Styles’ “Sign Of The Times” in front of giant LED walls full of fans watching at home and the four resident judges. After her performance she won a second wave of praise from all four judges who gave her a standing ovation with one judge calling her “beyond her years”. She was voted through to the semifinal stage of the show. You can watch the performance below.

The young Kazakh might only be 14, but she has already carved a career as a talent show veteran.

Then at the age of 11 she became the first non Ukrainian to win The Voice Kids: Ukraine mentored by Monatik.
A year later in 2018 she made history by being selected to become the first Kazakh singer to represent the country ever in a Eurovision event with the ethnic ballad “Ózińe sen”. She was a massive fan favourite and eventually finished in sixth place with 171 points made up from 68 points from the juries and an impressive 103 points from the televote.
Her American success started in 2019 on the show “Worlds Best” singing Andra Day’s “Rise Up” and Pink’s “What About Us” she made the top 8 of the competition.

She is the best
You cannot even describe what she has inside her! But her are some things I\’ve noticed: AMAZING depth of soul, stupendous vocal ability, fantastic stage presence, incredible humility for someone with such astounding talent! OMG, is her star ever RISING! First noticed at EIGHT years old – well, she will NEVER go unnoticed again!
and now when sing ???
Daneliya not only has a voice with beautiful tone, great range, captivating melisma and subtlety, she makes every song her own composition And every cover she\’s done is better than the original, and that\’s true and amazing. On top of all that, she conveys the emotions of the song with her expressions and movements better than any singer I\’ve ever seen. She just needs great originals to take her place among the superstars – and she has time yet to do that, being only 14 with this talent. Unbelievable.
