Peter Rosalita Sings in AGT: All-Stars Early Release
Peter first appeared on AGT in Season 16, singing “All By Myself” by Celine Dion in his audition. The singer herself praised the performance on social media. Peter made it to the Semifinals, where he was unfortunately eliminated.
Before his AGT: All-Stars performance, Peter told the judges that he was nervous. However, you’d never know it from hearing him sing. He belted out an inspiring rendition of “Go the Distance,” hitting some incredible notes.
As predicted by the song’s lyrics, the crowd cheered for Peter’s performance, which was accompanied by sparkling fireworks. All three judges were on their feet when the song was over. Peter thanked them for their positive response.

Peter Shares a Photo of His Dog with the Judges
After his performance, judge Heidi Klum asked Peter about his life since AGT. He shared that he got a dog and asked Simon Cowell if he’d like to see it. Peter brought a picture down to the judges’ table, explaining that the dog’s name is Cookie. Cowell said she’s “gorgeous.”
Howie Mandel asked if Peter was more nervous for this performance or for his previous time on AGT. He shared that All-Stars made him more nervous, because he had a sore throat during the performance. This revelation caused Mandel to stand up and move away from him.
Despite his throat issues, Klum told Peter he’s a “star in the making.” Mandel said Peter’s performance was “amazing without knowing” that he was nervous or had a sore throat. Cowell called him “old-fashioned,” but said his “voice has actually gotten better.”
Tune in to AGT: All-Stars on Monday night at 8/7c to find out if the Superfans voted Peter through to the Finals.
