Angelica's parents: You two are doing a wonderful job raising your daughter to be humble, respectful to others, and just a very sweet and intelligent young lady. Keep up the good work. Angelica, please do not ever change these beautiful qualities that you have at such a young age. Fame can ruin these if you allow it. You are supertalented, however, remember that family is first and most important. They will always love you even when the fame and fortune run out. Keep shining and moving forward!

[@YnotOnWheels]

Besides singing，this girl is talented on conversations. Thanks Access Hollywood to interview her! Very pleasant to watch and listen.

[@GarageStudio7]

She really took "Clarity" and made it her own in a very beautiful way unlike a certain rendition of "When You Believe"...

[@janicemin5362]

GarageStudio of course. Someone had to bring up Celine. CAN PEOPLE STOP BRINGING HER UP IN ANGELICA'S VIDEOS

[@T7nskie]

MJDJ Dreams celine is not in the same vocal calibre as Angelica, so yes, stop mentioning celine already.

[@rosechen2169]

Stop please.

[@dopenope6696]

I forgot that is was an interview with a "10 year old" girl. It's amazing how she answers those questions like someone who's been through many interviews.

[@namigandalillian568]

This kid makes me smile no matter how am tired fm work..Angelica u my chilling pill

[@maltaman2011]

You do not have to be a dick about it!

[@wesleydvt]

Nah man her tolking is really annoying

[@chrsfrtz2009]

Respect those whose English is their tertiary language.

[@-0-R3B3LL10N]

tertiary you mean.. I'm sure that girl speaks more than 3 - English Language - Father's Native Language - Mother is a Filipina so. Filipino National Language and Mother's Original Local Language (depends on what Province she came from)

[@poshrek7482]

Oh my God! Blown away. Didn't know a grown man can be emotional listening to an interview. The eloquence, kindness, humility, cheerfulness and positivity you've displayed is so inspiring. You're already a winner in our eyes.

[@hardtunecoversong7794]

Shes gòod and smart.. shes fixing the music to become her own... thats a talent... not all 10years old cant do that.. even adult :-).. shes good in rendition of any original music... im happy that all haters put in a stress... lol

[@itsmekeith1350]

Naner Castor : 9 yo 😉

[@hardtunecoversong7794]

Samantha Keith she had already 10 so shes not 9 years old now.. she finished her birthday :-)

[@gmann2865]

I love this girl so mature and smart her future is very bright

[@rhemyfelisilda]

Her desire is what I'm so impressed most to help sick children aside her talent and for being cute little muffin...

[@lebronjames-fs4zc]

It's crazy just amazing how mature and grown-up she is nuts it's like she's been doing this her whole life

[@mungajoe6129]

[@larathompson8422]

OMG please vote for her! She is so mature, she deserved it so much ❤

[@donsp1385]

Angelica Hale, God bless you sweetie im praying that both you and Darcy Lynn win together this year on AGT for the first time in history that two girls could win together because that would be such a true blessing

[@zjrjvlog1511]

FOR A 9 YR OLD TO ANSWER SO SMART LIKE THAT AND SO CONFIDENT, SHE IS DEFINITELY A GENIUS AND TALENTED. WHICH IS ONE'S IN A MILLION..

[@lycatubig2903]

So clever little girl! Go angelica! You can win this!!

[@T7nskie]

For a ten years old cute muffin, Angelica is such a mature, generous, kind, sensible, adorable musical prodigy. Hope I can have a sweet, lovely, articulate daughter just like her someday!

[@sh3marie973]

Musically Obsessed I couldn't agree with you more. Her bold, confident, mature, kind, generous, and outgoing personality is something I could only dream or wish I had.

[@T7nskie]

Jakme Auff lol. She is consistent, go and see all her other interviews. Filipinos ( she is 3/4 Filipino) are naturally bubbly, happy and positive, so nice try. Talking about fake, go see celine's plastered smile while singing her latest song full of flat notes, lol. PS celine looks like her dad, and their smiles are identical.

[@sh3marie973]

Musically Obsessed I wouldn't blame Celine for her fake plastered smile. Her dad basically trained her since she was very young even during the times she competed in Korea and as well as in any other competitions and performance stages.

[@T7nskie]

sh3marie97 well then her dad is using her. That could be child abuse, not good at all, in fact, it's shocking.

[@sh3marie973]

Musically Obsessed Yeah, I'm not sure about that. She seems happy, I guess. But if she's forced to, that would another issue.

[@lyricist7318]

Shes talented... shes real... shes sooo cute... and shes smart too!!

[@bitsyboo7613]

She's not just a very talented young lady. She's smart and has a great personality too! You're so cute, Angelica! :D I hope you win ♥

[@Endtimes7]

Very witty. She's so mature and can hold a show actually

[@Elliot_weeks]

Her voice is so small and quiet and pretty when she is speaking, but when she is singing her voice is so bold and strong and powerful😵

[@erizkaamalia9434]

she's so smart. love her voice both. speak and sing. she was born to be a star.

[@YYC403NOYP]

Her verbal skills are ANELICAMAAAZZZIINNNGGGG She can have her own talk show.

[@RungryRunner]

How can you not love her?! As sweet as she is talented and I love that she uses her gift of singing to raise funds for charities that are close to her heart.

[@noemivelasquez4349]

Oh my, she does not seem 10yrs old...she has so much charisma...

[@dooleydavid9999]

She is a Radiation of LOVE to the whole world.A GENUINE Inspiration ,and a true gift

[@kreigcalibaque5020]

her personality is amazing ..

[@trailwalker101]

You're a smart kid, and a positive person. May God bless your big heart, Angelica.

[@재현7704]

Yall should know she didnt mention that when she introducing herself infront of judges like omg, talent is talent, she showed that AGT needs talent to win not the person past, shes so positive

[@ralindajohn5291]

she's so adorable. I can't believe some of you could be this rude to a little girl. i hope she won't read any rude comments. Angelica please know that you are loved by so many people so never give up on your dream 💕

[@katherinepalacios3524]

Charm, talent, beauty, brains not to mention sweetness overload. You definitely won my heart & of course my vote ❤️

[@msslsshalihan7146]

People keep on saying " the ones with the saddest story wins, that's unfair" ,"that's unfair why did she get it". lol didn't you get it? It's a miracle that she could sing soon after surgery.

[@mabuhay196210]

We love you Angelica, good luck . we are here to support you.

[@samiralavado2404]

too much talent and personality in such a small body. all the best Angelica. 😘

[@lornu6090]

Did anyone else hear @ 4:23 when they were talking about school and the 1st question was are you good at math😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@jennij9389]

+Jermaine L I heard that too. I also thought, at first, maybe it was racist. However, I think that was a pre-interview question as they were looking down at their notes when they asked it. It was just a poorly worded question.

[@bryanlim7355]

I hate math, I love physics and Cosmetics Chemistry

[@almelrose9663]

she is an honors math student and the interviewers knew it but still Angel remains humble all skilled questions by polished interviewers are well thought out in advance they get paid for being smart

[@alimlabixa9726]

Jermaine L she was funnily asked the question if she is good at math when she said that online study is good. that had kept me rewinding that part coz it made me LOL!!! SMART KID. her dad is a financial accountant meaning he is a math savvy so he past that math intelligence on to her.

[@madinanoor1162]

Whatever I see this little angle i fell soo happy and make me smile am proud of her she's princess

[@shynagreen5070]

[@theresabaringgoden1298]

To all of us.. Very smart but she just a vesitor, she should be a bit humble and let the emcee express also their mind. I saw a lot on their minds but angelica can't wait to ask. As a Whole I like her smartness.. Voice also best.. Simon likes humble children. But she's amazing ,I. Wish they should have tie results with celine tam

[@shipleybatiste9400]

[@BobbyCYeah]

with or without AGT, she has already won at promoting herself into a career. A Triumphant back-story, her singing is awesome, and her vibrant spirit and outgoing personality show that she could be (and I would wager, will be) a great young actress. There are no closed doors for this kid.

[@amusingtime3903]

she is really smart. I love this baby. she really a pro-in conversation in stage and anywhere. very confident personality. She deserve to be a public emage because she is sooooo young but her personality is humble and lovely. she always have a smile.
