Bianca Taylor Ryan Samuel (born September 1, 1994) is a singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who is a finalist on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. When she auditioned she sang Jennifer Holliday’s “And I’m Telling You (I’m Not Going)”, surprising the crowd and the judges with her impressive voice, unusual for an 11-year old child.

Brandy didnt know what to say after the performance, adding it was “un-be-lievable.”

The other two judges were in shock, with Piers saying she needs to change her hair and clothes and she will win this whole competition. Bianca Ryan was accepted after auditioning. The judges agreed that Ryan needs to be more mature.

After performing “Piece of My Heart”, barefoot a la Janis Joplin, at the semi-finals, Bianca was announced the viewers’ choice that week on America’s Got Talent, and will be going into the million dollar finale.

The National Enquirer and Globe Magazine both said that fans called her “better than any American Idol”.

In her short time as an amutuer entertainer, she has performed at several notable venues, including Madison Square Garden and Lincoln Financial Field. Bianca’s only regular appearance has been as an anthemist for a semi-pro inline hockey team named the Philadelphia Growl. She has been performing for them since she was eight and will likely continue to sing at their events for the forseeable future.
