Deanna DellaCioppa, a Winchester native, was voted off NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” last week.
DellaCioppa, 39, the daughter of the owners of the recently closed Nicola Pizza House in Arlington Heights in Arlington, who now lives in California, sang Foreigners’ “I Want to Know What Love Is” in the quarterfinal round (performance above) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City but failed to make the semifinals, despite a standing ovation from three of the judges and much praise from all four.
“I think you nailed it tonight girl, I think you really nailed it,” judge Heidi Klum said. “You showed America what you can do … I hope they’re going to vote for you.”
“I have one word for you, flawless,” judge Mel B., aka Scary Spice, added.
