Amanda Holden Presses BGT Golden Buzzer

During Saturday’s show, the Hawkstone Farmers Choir took the stage to perform, sharing that the group was made up of farmers from around the country. Together, the choir members performed “One Day Like This” by Elbow.

The group’s voices blended together beautifully, earning cheers from the audience. Judge Amanda Holden sprang to her feet at the end of the performance. She was so impressed, she didn’t even wait for the panel to give their thoughts before slamming her hand down on the Golden Buzzer.

The choir celebrated as gold confetti rained down on the stage. Holden got choked up as she told them, “As soon as you started, I completely welled up. I felt so much power … You absolutely smashed it, and I can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do in the Semifinals.”

The Hawkstone Farmers Choir wasn’t the only act to impress the judges during Saturday’s new episode of BGT Series 19.

Another impressive audition from this week’s show came from a dog act called Anastasiia & Salsa. The pair performed an adorable dance routine together. Judge Simon Cowell called Salsa “super talented.” KSI said he’s “never seen anything like it.” The duo earned four “yes” votes to move on.

Another memorable performance from Saturday’s show came from a group of male salsa dancers called Agua Dance, who earned a standing ovation from Amanda Holden. She booed fellow judge KSI when he voted “no” to sending them through. Guest judge Stacey Solomon also made everyone laugh when she pointed out how one of the dancers kept sticking his tongue out. The group earned three “yes” votes to move on.
