This is what happened in the first episode of “America’s Got Talent”.🧐
The 18th season of the beloved music show kicked off on Tuesday. The show’s veteran cast including judges Simon Cowell and Sofia Vergara returned to the show once again as new talents took the stage.
However, among the many participants, only a few truly shone, and it was one of these exceptional acts that compelled the judges to bestow the coveted Golden Buzzer, a prize eagerly sought after each season.
The Mzansi Youth Choir are a group from South Africa and they released a rendition of a song called “It’s OK”, which was performed by the show’s candidate Nightbirde. However, sadly, the candidate withdrew from the competition due to her fight with cancer and sadly passed away.
The performance was very touchy and caught the attention of all the judges as they fell in love with Nightbirde before her sadly passing away.
Simon was very touched by the performance and broke down into tears.
He revealed that the performance by the choir would have meant a lot to her and revealed that she was very passionate about sharing her music with others.
The judges of the ”Golden Buzzer” united to bestow the coveted honor upon the choir, propelling them directly to the live concerts. The resounding cheers from the audience throughout the competition solidified this unanimous decision.
These kinds of moments define the show and that is why it has been running for 18 years.
