But the singer\u2019s fate was in the hands of viewers, who pushed her through to the finale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The YouTube video of Sanchez\u2019s performance for the finals, a rendition of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cDie With A Smile,\u201d posted Tuesday night and already has 1 million views.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sanchez received a standing ovation from all of the judges \u2014 Mandel called it the best act of the night and Cowell said it was her best performance on the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYou look like a little pregnant angel,\u201d Vergara said. \u201cYou look beautiful.
