“We can’t wait to hear your sweet music,” said Howard Stern on last night’s America’s Got Talent, almost as if he had no idea what was about to happen as adorable, doll-eyed 6-year-old Aralyn took her spot at center stage, gripping her mic with apparent fear as the nation’s expectant eyes fell upon her.
