Amanda Mena, a young Dominican-born singer currently living in Boston, Massachusetts, and who confessed to being bullied when she was a newly arrived immigrant, was rewarded with a Golden Buzzer for her rendition of “A Natural Woman” during her audition for the reality talent show, America’s Got Talent. The judges’ praise was truly effusive. The judges commented: “I am blown away”, “You are a super natural talent,” “You have genuinely natural soul, this is an audition we will remember for a long time”, “That was incredible.” “You are amazing.”

Finally, judge Mel B commented: “This is what I am going to say to all those bullies”, as she smacked the Golden Buzzer. With the Golden Buzzer, Mena goes straight to the semifinals on live TV.
