Emily West sings 'Nights In White Satin' on America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12 (VIDEO)

Emily West sang 'Nights In White Satin' on the America's Got Talent 2014 Top 12.

Emily sings "Nights In White Satin" by The Moody Blues and...yeah, this is every bit as good as you'd expect it to be, if not more so. I'm utterly bereft of words to describe this, other than to say that she's one of the best singers I've seen on any reality competition. How she isn't a household name by now is beyond me, but she deserves to be enormously successful. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that Emily looked absolutely stunning in her sparkling evening gown. Gorgeous. She gets a well-deserved standing ovation when it's all said and done.

Heidi says Emily makes her forget she's watching a competition, since she's already a star. Mel B says she absolutely nailed it, talking about her haunting, dream-like quality. Howie, for what feels like the ninth time tonight, says he has no idea how America will choose among these acts. Howard says that Emily just made a case for The Moody Blues getting into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, since they deserve a spot there on the strength of songs like that. "Shame on the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame," he says. He then states that Emily is the most talented singer this show has ever had, and that he makes sure to say as much any time he's interviewed by the press. I don't doubt him. Nor do I blame him. Emily is sensational.

Emily talks about how this was her parents' wedding song, and her father was thrilled to learn she'd be performing it. I love that her parents picked this as a wedding song. Great taste in the West household.

But what do you think of Emily West?
