Maximilliana was a singer from Season 2 of America's Got Talent. She returned in Season 9, seven years later, where she was likely eliminated during Judgment Week.

Background[]

Maximilliana is everything... handsome man, beautiful woman, actor, singer, musician, comedian, and performance artist, phenomenal bearded lady and all-around entertainer. Originally from the backwoods of Alabama, Max cut her teeth performing at bars and honkytonks, harvest festivals, weddings, funerals, beauty pageants, parking lots and churches. After moving cross-country to pursue her dreams, Maximilliana was cast as one of the “Queen’s Men” at “The Queen Mary Show Lounge” in Studio City, California. “The Queen Mary Show Lounge” was a mecca for drag entertainment featuring the longest running drag show in America until its closing. Max has also appeared on television shows and in movies including: Nash Bridges, Clueless, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Mas Vale Tarde with Alex Cambert, MadTV, Tyra, The Tom Joyner Show, Shoot or be Shot, Ringmaster: the Jerry Springer Movie, and America's Got Talent seasons 2 and 9. With the release of her debut album “(Maxi)milli-ana” , Max has demonstrated new talents; music producer and songwriter. The recent addition of a beard has transformed Maximilliana into the “Bearded Lady”. As an artist who colors outside the lines of gender, Maximilliana continues pushing boundaries in search of their breaking point. [1]

Season 2 Audition[]

Maximilliana's audition in Episode 202 consisted of singing "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by The Crash Test Dummies in a very deep voice, despite speaking to the judges afterwards with a female voice. Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and David Hasselhoff all buzzed the act. At least two judges voted "No", eliminating Maximilliana from the competition.

Audition All Stars[]

Maximilliana performed in Episode 212 as one of the Audition All Stars in the Season 2 America's Got Talent finale. Maximilliana's role consisted of singing "We Are the Champions" with the others in both a feminine and very deep voice.

Season 9 Audition[]

Maximilliana returned in Season 9. Her second audition in Episode 906 consisted of singing again, but now donning a beard. Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, and Mel B buzzed the act. Although Heidi voted "No", Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Howard all voted "Yes", sending Maximilliana to Judgment Week.

It is unknown if Maximilliana appeared during Judgment Week, but even if she did, she did not progress to the Quarterfinals.
