Jennel Garcia was 18, had just graduated from high school and came from a small town in Rochester, Massachusetts, where life had always been quiet. Her dad builds and races race cars, her mom works in healthcare, and her family is her biggest motivation.
She told the judges she loves old rock like Pat Benatar. Nervous and excited, she said she would pretend she was in her room singing to the mirror, and then she let loose. 🎶
One judge called her a little fireball, and another said she never expected that and called it absolutely incredible. One even admitted writing the word hot in the notes, because Jennel looked so sweet and then suddenly she was on fire.
Simon told her the pop charts were missing a young Pat Benatar and said she was different and exciting. The yeses came one after another, and Jennel said she never expected them to like her that much. ❤️
