Talk about the performance of a lifetime. This choir from Michigan got the golden buzzer auditioning on season 14 of “American’s Got Talent,” which aired on June 18, 2019.

The Detroit Youth Choir’s musical talent is no secret to many Detroiters, and now the world knows what they can do after watching them perform "Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The choir received the golden buzzer from Michigan’s own Terry Crews, the show’s host.

Before the performance: “Welcome and tell us who you are please,” said Simon Cowell. “We are the Detroit Youth Choir,” said Anthony White, choir director. “I’ve been the director of this wonderful youth group for a little over 21 years. We’re here to let the world know that we have some wonderful young people in the city of Detroit. They all have great grades and they’re all talented.”

“I actually love choirs. We’ve never had a choir win this show,” said Cowell. “Well, this could be the first,” White said.

After their performance: An emotional Gabrielle Union, who is one of the judges, had this to say: “What we all just witnessed here tonight was nothing short of absolute brilliance.”

“This was not expected,” said Cowell. “If you can keep doing this where every performance is the last thing you would expect a choir to do, you could win this.”

The golden buzzer: Before the judges could vote, Flint native Terry Crews said some words as he tried to hold back tears before pressing the golden buzzer: “I have to tell you. Every man and woman on this stage represents me and where I came from. I remember sitting at my window in Flint, Michigan, dreaming and wanting to make it and wanting to be here. And they’re here. Mr White, all it takes is one person to believe in a young man or woman to reach their dreams and you are that man sir.”
