AMERICA'S Got Talent has already made good use of the new Golden Buzzer rule this season.
Judge Heidi Klum hit her second Golden Buzzer this season for nine-year-old Pranysqa Mishra during Monday's brand new episode as there are nine total Golden Buzzers to give out thanks to a new twist.
Mishra covered Tina Turner's River Deep Mountain High in her audition last night, leaving Klum baffled.
“Oh my gosh, I did not expect that. We expect a lot of things, but I did not expect that,” Klum exclaimed.
“My dream is coming true. I can’t believe it,” the girl said.
“You are absolutely incredible,” Klum told her.
America's Got Talent returns next Tuesday at 8 pm ET on NBC. Fans can also stream the show on Sling and Peacock.
