Tonight will be the night that fans will see the youngest artist of all time perform at his best. America has talent internship? Follow along with ET during the Season 19 premiere as we break down all of the night’s most memorable and monumental moments! The fun starts at 8pm ET/PT on NBC.
A dance team to start
The group of young people who come out first is greeted with resounding applause from the audience. It turns out that the group is from Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and almost the entire school came to cheer them on.
The dancers are so upbeat and cheerful that it’s hard not to root for them from the start – and then when they take the stage, their impeccable moves and innovative choreography just seal the deal.
They’re as expertly timed as any AGT dance team you’re likely to see, and they have such a great mix of energy and enthusiasm that it’s clear why they have the kind of support they do.
The group gets bigger and bigger as the dance progresses, and the judges seem enchanted.
Heidi and Howie like the acting, but want them to try and up their game when it comes to mind-blowing moments. Simon, however, disagrees and thinks that the routine shows “everything a good school should do” for its students.
The dance team receives three yes votes (and a single no from Howie, of course) and moves on to the next round!
Let the games begin!
AAAAnnnd we are in a new season!
Every AGT premiere is so exciting because the untapped potential of what we might see this season is limitless!
We hope to have a magician, a young singer, a musician with an inspiring story and a trained dance team!
While it can sometimes feel like acts fall into tropes, the truth is that it’s extremely inspiring to see what people with true talent can do!
Let’s all celebrate the hopeful people chasing their dreams once again. It’s AGT time!
Terry Crews explained the need for the golden buzzer further
The Golden Buzzer is the biggest game changer and wild card this season – and it was Terry who explained why the show’s format is so important.
“Talent is subjective. When you put a singer next to a dancer, next to a dangerous act, next to a magician – they each need their own bell!” Crews told ET. “I just think it’s perfect! And I’ve said it before, AG is evolving consistently… (and) is improving every time a new evolution emerges.”
Who won last year?
With the new season about to begin, it’s good to look back and see who took the win in season 18.
For the first time, a trained dog took the grand prize! Adrian Stoica and his brilliant canine companion, Hurricane!
Last season it was a dance team! This show really features all kinds of amazing artists.
How this season will be different
Although the Golden Buzzer rule has been around since Season 10, this time all the judges – and Terry – will have the chance to ring the Golden Buzzer twice!
It’s hard to say how this will play out in the long term. Will the final be just Golden Buzzer picks? If so, what is the purpose of the audition rounds? Will having so many Golden Buzzers dilute the excitement?
ET spoke with Sofia Vergara recently, and she explained, “At first I thought we didn’t need this. I thought, ‘Oh, it’s going to lose some of the enthusiasm for this.’ But, you know what, the (competitors) are getting so good that you always feel like you want another one!
Only time will tell!
