Why Nicole Scherzinger’s Golden Buzzer Act Had Her Sobbing On ‘Australia’s Got Talent’
SYCO Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger has joined the judging panel of Australia’s Got Talent this season. Scherzinger was the last judge to hit her Golden Buzzer, but she waited for a pretty remarkable act — Aboriginal performer Mitch Tambo.
Mitch’s performance combined his Gamilaraay language with the didgeridoo and traditional dance. He explained that he wanted to appear on the stage to
“show Australia and the world that our culture is alive, it’s well, it’s breathing, and it deserves to be showcased and celebrated in 2019.”

Nicole is seen mesmerized by Mitch’s performance. “Honestly, dude, I really don’t know what just happened to me right now,” she told him afterward, tearing up. “You really inspired me. I think you’re a true, true representative of Australia’s beauty and culture and talent.”
The judge further explains why she chose to hit the Golden Buzzer in an Instagram video: “I was just blown away that he took his Aboriginal roots and was able to merge the heritage of where he comes from and what he does, old school meets new school.”
Although she’s not Australian, Scherzinger said she understands how important it is to embrace one’s culture and heritage. Scherzinger is of Hawaiian descent.
