Live Golden Buzzer Reveal on ‘America’s Got Talent’
The judges are in place, and Terry Crews has entered the building. For week 2, Mel B is in charge of the Live Golden Buzzer this week.
She gets to decide who goes straight to the finals. Who will get it tonight?
EDT Dance Company
This young dance crew has been rehearsing nonstop since auditioning. They have the viewing parties at home supporting them, so here we go.
They are good dancers, but so young. There are moments when they aren’t in sync, which I like to see for a dance group. You just think of how good they could be as they get older, right? How cute are they, though?
Judges’ Feedback: Sofia said what an amazing way to open the show tonight. Simon said this was spectacular, and he has a lot of respect for all of them. Mel B said that woke her up. Your commitment and energy are on fire. Howie said they did well for a cheerleading competition, but they are going to have a problem tonight with the talent they have on “America’s Got Talent” 2025 tonight.
Mama Duke
Of all the acts tonight, this is the one I was most excited to see tonight. Her audition blew up on TikTok. I was seeing it everywhere, so I am beyond intrigued to see what she does tonight on “America’s Got Talent” season 20.
She is doing another original song tonight, one she wrote since her audition. I just love this woman. She has such a strong stage presence. She gets the audience pumped. I feel this song isn’t as catchy as the first one, but I feel she is talented.
Judges’ Feedback: Simon said he loved her audition, and this might have been better. She has “it,” and this is going to be big. Howie said what she has is authenticity, and she is such a star. Sofia said her writing is clever and she is so likable. Mel B said she loved her the first time and loves her even more now. She said Missy Elliot better watch out because she is coming right now, as she hits the Golden Buzzer for her! Mama Duke is headed straight to the finals!
Unreal Crew
We find out that B Unique Crew had some of their students on the team. Unreal Crew taught them everything they knew and wanted to form a dance crew with them. However, they left and formed their own. Now, Unreal Crew wants to show everyone and them what they missed out on.
The optical illusions are so fun with this group. They are so bendable and just make everything look so amazing and so creepy at the same time. The guys even included a painting of Simon on their back, so got Simon in on the action. How can they move their necks like that?
