Despite the experts’ reservations about her persona prior to the performance, she won over the judges and audience with her AGT audition and received high praise. Following her test, Simon Cowell said:
“The moment you left, I thought, “This really is going to be terrible,” I’ll tell you what. I did, and I must say that you have a wonderful voice. I don’t like the instrument, and I don’t think it’s necessary. However, you are interesting, so feel free to continue dressing that way.”
She was asked by Sofia Vergara if she would continue to perform in the same attire and if she would be willing to switch things up in the future. Zelda, on the other hand, affirmed that she would “never ever” change and would live the rest of her days as a fairy.
