A 71 year old Thai woman has wowed judges on the popular TV show America’s Got Talent with her impressive ballroom dancing routine – and become an internet sensation in the process.
Quin Bommelje who grew up in a small village in rural Thailand and moved to the United States to live with her husband of nearly fifty years, said she only took up dancing 10 years ago.
Speaking on the show, Quin credited Thai village life and her parents instilling their strong work ethic that enabled her to follow her dreams.
With her husband watching from the audience, Quin took to the stage with her 35 year old dance partner Misha Vlasov and floored the judges with their performance of “Sax” by Fleur East.
Judge Heidi Klum said “You have definitely inspired me. I think you are an absolutely incredible woman.”
“The best part about you guys is your personality,” Simon Cowell added. “You were great. This is exactly what we were looking for.”
“You know, you say you want to inspire people of a certain age, but you have inspired everybody of all ages. It was truly a remarkable performance,” McBride said, before slamming the coveted Golden Buzzer and bringing Quin to her knees, weeping with joy, as the pair were showered with shimmering confetti.
McBride’s Golden Buzzer sends the amazing duo immediately through to the live rounds at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
The footage of Quin dancing on America’s Got Talent was widely shared on Thai social media on Thursday, with on video being watched more than one million times.
The clip of Quin dancing posted to the America’s Got Talent YouTube channel was one of the top trending videos on YouTube on Thursday.
