This Performance Earned the Golden Buzzer on 'AGT'
America's Got Talent host Tyra Banks didn't waste any time picking a favorite act during the auditions round. After the final performance of the season 13 premiere, she used her one chance to press the sought-after Golden Buzzer.
The group that caught Banks' attention is Austrian acrobatic dance troupe Zurcaroh. The dancers-who ranged in age from young children to adults-took the stage to show off their breathtaking display of gymnastic abilities. The impressive routine featured a death-defying mix of balancing tricks, synchronized dancing, and aerial acrobatics. Audience members and judges alike were left biting their nails as performers were flung high into the air and caught by their fellow troupe members.
"Hold up! Hold up!" Banks yelled when the performance was over and walked back on stage. "I am collecting my breath and I just, I need some oxygen right now! I'm, like, freaking out right now. This is so crazy that you know what I have to do!"
In what was perhaps the most dramatic moment of the night, she raced across the stage towards the judges table and slammed down the Golden Buzzer. Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Mel B hadn't even had a chance to vote yet-but the standing ovation they gave the performance said it all. It was obvious that even without Banks' Golden Buzzer, the four of them would have moved the group through to the next round.
Before their audition, the leader of Zurcaroh explained that the troupe is made up of non-professionals-but after watching their performance, you will have trouble believing that.
