10-Year-Old metal vocal prodigy Harper has done it again!
The metal vocalist absolutely crushed a performance of the Ed Sheeran & Bring Me The Horizon collaborative single Bad Habits on the latest episode of America's Got Talent.
The Somerset, UK singer went viral earlier this year for her performance of Holly Roller by Spiritbox. She has now done it again with her performance of Bad Habits leaving the live audience, judges and viewers at home similarly astounded.
The America's Got Talent panel were blown away by the performance.
Howie Mandel responded to Harper by saying "I'm sure you're going to rack up another 20 million and go viral. The only fear that I have is god forbid you're in real trouble, but nobody's going to come cause they just think you're singing. I think there's an audience for this, there really is."
Heidi Klum vibed with it as well "I have to say death metal is not my favourite music, but it is fascinating to watch you."
Sofia Vergara said what many must have been thinking "I have to say what is so disturbing to me is how effortless it comes out of her little body. That's crazy. Even without the element of surprise from the audition, it was great. It was amazing."
Simon Cowell praised Harper for her willingness to do something out of usual and for delivering another great performance. "I loved that performance, I tell you what. I love things that people are going to talk about. It's frustrating, and by the way, your film package was brilliant, your personality was great and it was a great song choice. It's something we don't normally see or hear, so I'd rather see or hear someone like you than someone do something really boring. People are going to talk about you and I love you for that. You're gutsy."
They weren't the only ones impressed, with Bring Me The Horizon member Jordan Fish tweeting about the rendition.

The Bad Habits rendition is Harper's second standout performance on the show, following her viral performance of Spiritbox Holly Roller in June.
The audience and judges weren’t the only ones equal parts shocked and impressed by Harper’s efforts, with Spiritbox themselves getting in on the action, inviting Harper to perform the song live with them at the Islington Academy.
