Murmuration receive Howie Mandel's golden buzzer on AGT

Tonight's episode of AGT saw the host Terry Crews welcome contestants to the fourth audition round. Throughout the evening, fans witnessed incredible talent from all over the world making their mark on the stage and impressing the judges. The competition was tight as they hoped to advance forward.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Auditions 4, reads:

"The auditions continue as a variety of acts featuring contestants of all ages audition for the chance to win the $1 million prize; the golden buzzer allows a lucky act the chance to go directly to the live shows to compete for America's vote."

Dance Troupe Murmuration gave AGT a solid chance. An army of 65 dancers appeared on stage to showcase the director Sadeck Berrabah's creation. He auditioned for season 13 of the show but didn't make it past the audition rounds. However, he was a finalist on France's Got Talent franchise, La France a un incroyable talent, along with his group Mega Unity.

The dancers joined the stage and blindfolded them ahead of the performance. Throughout their audition, the group showcased unbelievable synchronization. They never missed a beat and their arm-work left a major impression on the judges, who were left stunned and gave the contestants a standing ovation.

AGT judge Heidi complimented the synchronization and termed the performance "elegant." Sofia echoed her fellow judge's feelings and recalled her own golden buzzer The Mayyas, who went on to win season 17 of the show. The judge termed Murmuation's audition "magnificent."

Howie then gave his feedback to the dance troupe and said:

"Well, I was mesmerized. I find what you do hypnotic. And I think it's very original, and I find it more magnificent when you get a large group of people and the movements are smaller...but perfect. It blew me away."

The AGT judge proceeded to mimic the group's hand movements and walked across the judging panel to press the golden buzzer. Murmuration was left shocked and emotional as they were advancing to the live shows.
