Featured tonight will be a former contestant who made it to the 2009 quarterfinals, a heavy metal choir, an impressionist, and more. There’s only one Golden Buzzer unspoken for, and it remains to be seen if Heidi will award it to one of tonight’s acts. Last week, Sofia was moved by the Lebanese dance troupe, Mayyas, which means, the proud walk of a lioness in Arabic, and she gave them something to be proud of with the Golden Buzzer. “There are no words to explain to you what we were feeling over here,” Sofia said immediately following the dance. “That was the most beautiful, creative dancing I have ever seen.” I would be so honored to empower you even more on this journey because you deserve it and I want to be part of this.” The week prior, Simon selected 13-year-old Sara James from Ośno Lubuskie, Poland, for her performance of the emotional Billie Eilish song “Lovely.” “Sara, Sara, Sara, we’ve heard a lot of singers over the years, but wow!” Simon said. “This wasn’t perfect, but you have a real star glow about you. It must be such an unbelievable feeling doing this in front of an American audience because I am guessing this is where you dreamt of performing. I can remember when I came to America and that was 20 odd years ago. That was a moment I will never forget, and I want to make this a moment for you to remember forever.” Previously, Howie picked 11-year-old Madison Taylor Baez from Yorba Linda, Calif., who impressed the judges with her rendition of “Amazing Grace,” which was sneakily introduced during a break in the show. “People always ask what happens in the commercial breaks and amazing things happen in the commercial breaks,” Howie said. And on the first night of audition’s the Golden Buzzer was 21-year-old Avery Dixon from Atlanta, who performed “Try a Little Tenderness” by Otis Redding on the saxophone, and moved host Terry Crews into awarding him his Golden Buzzer. Terry said, “There’s no need to vote. Avery, you touched the heart of every human being in this building right now. I want to tell you, you’ve been bullied all your life, but you tell every bully that you have a big brother named Terry Crews, who has your back, and all those bullies are going to have to watch you succeed.” The question remains: Will Heidi pick her Golden Buzzer tonight?
