Appearances can often be deceiving, and Cakra Khan is a perfect example. Clad in a simple beige jacket, Khan stepped onto the brightly lit stage of *America’s Got Talent*, exuding a calm demeanor that belied his extraordinary talent.
The Indonesian singer, a passionate devotee of blues and soul, stunned the audience with his powerful rendition of “Make It Rain.” His rich, soulful voice captivated everyone—except Simon Cowell, who abruptly stopped the performance.
As boos echoed from the crowd, Cowell admitted, “You have a great voice, but I didn’t like the song choice. Do you have something else?”
Khan nodded and launched into Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry,” a sentimental favorite his father used to play for him. This time, his heartfelt delivery and raspy vocals brought the crowd and judges to their feet.
Heidi Klum praised his “unique, sexy, raspy voice,” while Sofia Vergara called it “spectacular.” Even Cowell, initially critical, declared, “I absolutely love your voice.”
Howie Mandel added, “It’s rare to hear a voice like yours—memorable and emotional. You’re amazing.”
Khan earned four enthusiastic yeses and revealed he’d use the $1 million prize to build an animal shelter if he wins. The audience can’t wait to see what’s next for this soulful talent.
