Simon Cowell didn’t rise, which may have worried some at-home viewers, but he was perhaps the most impressed of all of them.Īfter judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara gushed over how “angelic” she was and how amazed they are at her vocal ability, it came time for Cowell to speak. Brinker, a soprano, knocked it out the park, and she didn’t even try to skip any of the high notes.Īfter several minutes of wowing the crowd, she finished her performance and received a standing ovation from hundreds, including three of the four judges. It’s not an uncommon choice for those who know opera, but it was certainly unexpected for someone under the age of 10.

From the moment the superstar-in-training walked onto the stage, she was met with applause, but little did anyone watching know what was to come out of the small singer’s mouth.Īfter working through nerves (she was “exnervous,” a mix of excited and nervous, according to the contestant herself), the pint-sized performer launched head-first into her aria, and it only took a matter of seconds for the auditorium full of people to begin cheering loudly. On AGT’s July 6 episode, Victory Brinker appeared at the very end - and for good reason. After all four gave the Mayyas a standing ovation, Vergara said: “There are no words to explain to you what we were feeling over here.A lot of impressive singers, dancers, and just generally all-around talented people have found success on America’s Got Talent, but none of them have done what a 9-year-older performer managed on the most recent episode of the long-running reality competition. Once the group finished their routine by reforming into the original single-file line, the judges were dumbfounded. As they stacked their arms together to create rippling shapes - at one point forming a pair of eyes with one dancer at the center of each representing the pupil - the crowd cheered. The line then split apart to reveal all the Mayyas women’s faces, which were half covered by dangling jeweled masks, to the audience. From there, the women assembled into a single-file line and started to make shapes with their arms and hands, sometimes using props such as feathers, creating the illusion that all couple dozen pairs of arms were sprouting magnificently from the one dancer in front. When it came time to perform, the dancers asked the judges to get closer to each other in order to have the best experience. Kristen Bell Teases Possibility of 'Frozen 3': 'What Are We Waiting For?'

But hypnosis is exactly what the Mayyas - an all-women dance group from Lebanon whose name means the “proud walk of a lioness” - were able to achieve, earning a gold buzzer moment from one judge and rare praise from another on the Tuesday (June 21) episode. When America’s Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Howie Mendel and Heidi Klum heard from a group of dancers onstage that they were about to be hypnotized, the panel couldn’t have had any idea how true that would turn out to be.
