In 2023, AGT gave out its first “Audience Golden Buzzer” to Mzansi Youth Choir, a group of singers from South Africa, who performed the Nightbirde’s original song “It’s OK,” a year after her death from cancer. In previous years, Cowell gave his Golden Buzzer to 13-year-old singer Sara James in Season 17, the late singer Nightbirde (Jane Marczewski) in Season 16 and the street dance troupe Waffle Dance Crew in Season 15. So, we have given out more this year and I don’t think there’s a single person watching who’ll go, ‘They shouldn’t have had that,’ because when they’re that good and you’re in the moment, it’s a great feeling.” When I watched it back, if we hadn’t given this person a Golden Buzzer, I would have felt terrible. “This weekend in the U.K., it was the eighth Golden Buzzer we gave this year. Cowell also told Parade that having more than the normal amount of Golden Buzzers doesn’t lessen its impact. “Well, let’s put it this way, we slightly broke the rules this year,” Simon admitted in the interview. The change of heart came after Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli hit his button a second time (because he didn’t know he only got one). But in an interview Cowell gave to Parade in May 2023, the AGT creator hinted that he hit the Golden Buzzer multiple times in Season 18. Typically, each judge – as well as the show’s host Terry Crews – can press the button only once per season. This means that the lucky few who receive the Golden Buzzer will skip the lower levels of the competition and advance to a later stage. On AGT, the Golden Buzzer is a fast-track invitation to live performances.
