Mishra is a versatile and vibrant singer who can perform songs from various genres, especially pop and soul. She sings everything from the national anthem to hits like Demi Lovato’s Skyscraper, Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On, Sia’s Chandelier, and Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball. When asked by hosts of Great Day Live in Tampa in 2023 about her favourite aspects of being a singer, Mishra mentioned her enjoyment of singing high-pitched songs, highlighting Listen by Beyoncé as her favorite.

Given her admiration for these artists, there's a possibility she might choose the same song for the semifinals or even the finals, should she advance.
Looking at the large number of songs she has sung, Mishra has a wide pool of performances lined up for her next appearance on AGT. The specific scheduling of acts in the semifinals has not yet been released by NBC. More information is expected after all eight audition episodes have aired. Auditions will be on hold for two weeks starting from the week of July 23, as NBC will be broadcasting the 2024 Paris Olympics from July 26 to August 11.
