“America’s Got Talent” contestant Amanda Mena got to hit back against her bullies on national television.

The 15-year-old singing sensation earned a Golden Buzzer on Tuesday’s episode from judge Mel B , vaulting her into the competition’s live shows.

Amanda told the judges that when she moved to the United States from the Dominican Republic at age 4, she “didn’t know a word of English.”

“I got bullied a lot,” she said. “So all that kinda gave me tough skin.”

Amanda then wowed with her cover of “A Natural Woman.” An enthralled Mel B told her: “This is what I’m going to say to all those bullies,” then pushed the Golden Buzzer.

Amanda won “La Voz (The Voice) Kids” on the Spanish-language network Telemundo when she was 11 and her polish showed on “AGT.”
