The final auditions episode of “America’s Got Talent” aired on July 23, with the all-important live shows scheduled for August. A whopping nine acts received coveted Golden Buzzers during the auditions phase, including comedians, singers, dancers and even a first-ever drone group. But who is YOUR favorite “AGT” Golden Buzzer from Season 19? Vote in our poll below and then be sure to defend your choice in the comments section.
This year, there was a new twist in that each of the four judges — Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara — were allowed to push their golden buttons twice. The show’s host, Terry Crews, still only got a single Golden Buzzer. That brought the total number to nine for this “Golden Summer” season of “America’s Got Talent.”
Terry kicked off the 19th season by choosing comedian Learnmore Jonasi. Backstage, the Zimbabwe resident called Terry his biggest inspiration and that “nothing will top” meeting him … and then he got the Golden Buzzer.
Simon’s two acts were singer Liv Warfield, who has performed on stage with superstars like Prince and Nancy Wilson, and drone group Sky Elements, a first such act for “AGT” that lit up the night sky with 1,000 drones.
Heidi’s pair of Golden Buzzers were singer Richard Goodall, an inspirational janitor who has since gone viral online, and singer Pranysqa Mishra, a nine-year-old girl who looks up to powerhouse vocalists like Aretha Franklin.
For Sofia, her favorite performers were dance crew Legion, a malambo group from Argentina who utilized whips and knives, and novelty act Schumacher, two Japanese comedians who earned laughs by dressing up in various animal masks.
Finally, Howie’s two golden picks were Brent Street, a solo Australian dancer who was later joined on stage by a larger crew, and singer Reid Wilson, a 14-year-old who fought back nerves to perform “You Don’t Own Me.”
“America’s Got Talent” will continue to air throughout the summer on NBC and the finale of Season 19 will likely air in mid-September, when the next winner will be crowned. Refresh your memory on all of the former champs by scrolling through our “AGT” winners list.
