Sofia Vergara called Brooke’s performance “spectacular,” while Simon Cowell suggested that she should perform future songs with a band backing her up. He added that he really likes Brooke “as a person.”

Season 19 Auditions Are Wrapping Up
AGT Season 19 has aired seven weeks of auditions so far. Tuesday’s new episode marks the eighth and final audition episode, before the show takes a brief hiatus to make room for the Summer Olympics before the live shows kick off on August 13.
This season, the judges were allowed to hit the Golden Buzzer two times each, while Terry Crews had one to give out. As of the most recent episode, all of those Golden Buzzers had been used up. However, in recent years, the show has also featured group Golden Buzzers — pressed by the judges and host together.
Could Tuesday’s episode feature this season’s group Golden Buzzer? We’ll have to wait and see what happens. What do you think of this season so far? Let us know in the comments below.
