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.

Fans react to the TT Brothers
The TT Brothers proved to be divisive among fans.
'Sometimes I think I've lost my mind'
Heidi said she felt like she lost her mind watching the TT Brothers.
"Halfway through - I got it. You two are hilarious," Simon added.
Howie said the brothers were, "terrific," "original," and "surprising."
The TT Brothers proved to be an underdog act as they received four yes's from the judges.
Fans are not hooked
Fans are not happy with the start of tonight's episode, with many slamming producers on X.
Meet the TT Brothers
The TT Brothers have taken the stage in matching white outfits. They both sported bowl cuts and had freckles drawn on their face.
It's unclear exactly what their act is, but the brothers began by chanting "T" and acted out their morning routines.
They then mimed a baseball game. The brothers looked around and asked the audience what else began with T.
They spotted Terry backstage and the host joined the brothers for their chant.

Tonight's episode is off to a rough start as the judges have been quick to press their "X" buttons.
A man took the stage to sing about goats and fish, but the judges didn't let him finish his audition.
"There's no normal people on this show," Sofia said.
Welcome to AGT?
The act kicking off tonight's auditions goes by the name, Owl Man.
When he's not dressed like an owl, the contestant works as a security guard at a fast food restaurant.
Owl Man performed an interesting rendition of, Who Let the Dogs Out, but he wasn't able to finish his audition because all four judges quickly pressed their red, X buttons.
"Bad costume, bad everything," Sofia said.

Terry Crews is excited about the new Golden Buzzer rule.
“What would happen would be the judges would see all this tremendous talent and they would end up apologizing,” he said.
“They’re like, ‘Man, if I had another one, I would hit it.'”
“We said, ‘Give them another one!'” Terry shouted.
“And what we found is that there was not one Golden Buzzer wasted because there’s so many deserving talents out there.”
“It’s so incredible. I think that the show needed more and now we finally got it and I think everyone is going to be happy,” Terry ended.
Double the buzzers, double the fun
AGT is mixing it up this season by doubling the Golden Buzzers each judge has.
Previously, each judge was granted one Golden Buzzer which was given to an act that they wanted to send straight to the live shows.
This year, each judge has two Golden Buzzers, and host Terry Crews has one, meaning nine acts have a guaranteed spot in the lives.
Howie Mandel used Golden Buzzer last week
Howie Mandel used one of his Golden Buzzers last week on dance troupe, Brent Street.
The troupe is led by 17-year-old Zach from Sydney, Australia.
Since they earned the coveted Golden Buzzer, they have a guaranteed spot in the live shows, which will begin on August 13.
