Shaquira had chosen to perform on a rather difficult song for her quarterfinal round. It is titled “What Hurts the Most” by Rascal Flatts. Two of the judges, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara, could not resist getting on their feet to appreciate her extraordinary performance and even requested AGT’s fans to vote for the talented singer.
Shaquira has successfully reached the next step of the competition, that is, the semi-final round and is more than ready to own the stage again.
