Wednesday 8 June 2022 05:22 AM America's Got Talent: Madison Baez Taylor, 11, gets Golden Buzzer after singing ... trends now

Howie Mandel hit his Golden Buzzer for Madison Baez Taylor on Tuesday's episode of America's Got Talent on NBC sending her straight to the live shows.

The 11-year-old singer from Yorba Linda, California, was planted in the audience and belted out 'Amazing Grace,' shocking the auditorium and judges with her voice during a break in taping.

Simon Cowell, 62, who didn't know the crew had purposefully put Madison in the audience, told the young singer to come to the stage.

The audience also chanted for her to sing 'on the stage.' 

When she got up, Madison said it had always been a dream to be on the AGT stage and cried right before she sang the song again.

'Incredible,' host Terry Crews, 53, said when she finished.

'I'm not kidding but in all the years we've ever done this has never actually happened before,' said Simon, who was wearing a splint on his wrist. 'I normally leave during the break because people do sing. So this is actually the opposite. It actually brought me back into the room.'

'Everybody is going to know your name now young lady,' said Howie Mandel, 66. 'Your life has just changed.'

Madison said if she won the $1 million grand prize that she would use it for cancer research because her father has had stage four colon cancer for the past nine years.

'I would help him with that,' Madison said while crying.

The audience started chanting 'Golden Buzzer, Golden Buzzer.' 

Howie then got up and slammed his hands down on the buzzer and said 'from the audience seat right to the live show.'

'You are going right to the finals,' Howie said, rushing to the stage as gold confetti fell down around Madison. 'You're amazing!'

Madison's father Chris cried, walked on to the stage and hugged his daughter.

'Unbelievable,' Simon said. 'That was magic.'

Chris told the audience that his daughter learned how to sing by performing for him during his chemo treatments.

The first act of the night on the exciting audition round was Zoe Tomas, 11, from Agua Dulce, California, who brought out her chicken Hallow to demonstrate chicken training. Hallow proceeded to jump through hoops, climb up to perch and do an obstacle course on demand.

'I've never seen anything like that,' Howie said. 'I love your chickens. I love you.'

'They did everything right,' Simon said, giving her a yes.

All the judges agreed and voted her on.

A two-person dance group called Funkanometry, made up of Jacksun Fryer, 20, and Carlow, Rush, 20, went next. The duo danced to Earth Wind & Fire's September.

'I love it,' Sofia Vergara, 49, said when they finished.

'I love this audition,' Simon said. 'My only issue was it wasn't long enough.'

The judges all voted for them to move
