When Bianca Ryan opens her mouth and starts to sing, listeners are awestruck that such volume, resonance, sheer musicality and feeling resonate from the perky youngster.

Bianca Ryan seems to have an instinctive knowledge of how music works--she begins singing by caressing the listener with velvet sounds, her vocals build and soar to a crescendo, and Bianca, in a technique that is a showstopping finale, ends with a note held for timeless seconds.

Bianca pours emotion into the songs she sings and one can't help feeling that she becomes high on the music and abandons herself to it.

The bright youngster doesn't just use her vocal chords--which, of itself, is an accomplishment that leaves listeners shaking their heads-- Bianca Ryan pours her body into the music, which innately musical people do. She can't stay still, so moved is she by the music she creates.

If one had to describe Bianca Ryan, it would be "high velocity."

She came out on stage a little girl . . . when she finished, a star had been born. Her rendition of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" invoked a standing ovation from a crowd gone wild.

After her ground-breaking performance, Bianca was instructed to change her appearance, which she did for her second performance. She decided to branch into Janis Joplin's "Piece of my Heart.

While Bianca sang Piece of my Heart with the same intensity, the judges instructed her to go back to her R & B gospel style of singing.

Bianca came out and proved she had what it takes. She not only sang, she interpreted the song and sealed her status as a stellar performer.
