Heidi Klum hit her Golden Buzzer for young singer Pranysqa Mishra on Tuesday’s episode of America’s Got Talent after her strong rendition of a Tina Turner song.
Pranysqa, nine, stunned the judges with her powerful voice while singing the hit song ‘River Deep, Mountain High.’ The audience stood and clapped along as she sang. The judges gave her a standing ovation when she finished.
‘My gosh,’ said judge Simon Cowell, 64, who created the AGT franchise and also is an executive producer of the NBC show.
‘I did not expect that,’ Heidi, 50, said. ‘We expect a lot of things, but I did not expect that. And you know what I am going to do now because I honestly don’t want to hear what Howie, Simon, or Sofia has to say?’
‘Really?’ Simon said.
‘I want you to call your grandmother and say that Heidi Klum pushed the Golden Buzzer for you,’ Heidi said.

Heidi ran to the stage and hugged Pranysqa, who was crying.
‘Congratulations, you deserve it!’ Heidi said.
The first three acts of the season 19, two-hour episode featured a man who dressed like an owl, a woman who dressed like a tiger, and a man whose act was called ‘goat versus fish’. They all got buzzed off.
‘There are no normal people on this show,’ Sofia Vergara, 51, said.
Next came two men, Shohei and Shun, wearing white shirts with the letter ‘T’ on them. They said they were the TT Brothers from Japan. They made the T sign and even brought host Terry Crews, 55, on stage with them. By the end of the act, they had the whole audience chanting ‘T, T, T.’
‘You guys were terrific,’ Howie Mandel, 68, said.
‘Sometimes I think I’ve lost my mind sitting here,’ Heidi said.
The judges gave them four yeses.

Singer-songwriter Oscar Stembridge, 16, from Sweden, took the stage with his guitar. He sang his original song about making the world a better place. The audience was so moved they gave him a standing ovation.
‘I love the song, I love you,’ Sofia said. ‘I think you have so much to give to the music world.’
‘That was beautiful,’ Simon said. ‘This, to me, was a brilliant audition.’
The judges all voted him on.
Aerial act Sebastian and Sonia, a couple, spun from the top of the stage and even hit some of the letters as they spun around. The audience cheered for them as Sebastian held Sonia above the stage only by her feet.
‘Your act is so spectacular,’ Sofia said. ‘The way that you complement each other up there was perfection.’
‘You two are mind-blowing,’ Heidi said.
They were voted on.

Jollux, a beatboxer from Colombia, won over the judges with his skills.
‘It was just so unexpected and so cool,’ Simon said.
Young dancer Brody Schaffer, eight, from San Diego, who tried out on season 15 but didn’t make it on stage because he fell asleep backstage, came back to try out again. He said he wanted to be on Broadway and did a jazzy dance for the judges. He cartwheeled and flipped across the stage, and the audience cheered for him. Even Simon gave him a standing ovation.
‘You’ve got that amazing showmanship and confidence,’ Simon said.

Menudo, a young boy band, sang a song in Spanish. They said that their boss bought the name of the famous group that formerly yielded Ricky Martin.
‘I didn’t agree, I’ve got to say, with what they used to do, which is to kick people out when they reached a certain age,’ Simon said. ‘As the new generation, maybe we could stop that.’
They started singing, and Simon abruptly asked them to stop and if they had a second song. The audience loved the second song, and so did the judges, except for Howie.
Connett Croghan, 30, from Iowa, did a rock and roll jump rope act, but Heidi, Howie, Simon, and Sofia hit their buzzers.
Next, Chris Wilson, 38, from Toronto, Ontario, a magician, took the stage. His act appeared to be just giving the judges the finger.
‘This is not a talent,’ one audience member said.
Simon laughed but gave him a no, along with Howie and Heidi. Sofia just gave him the finger.
Sand magician Young Min, 33, from Korea, fared much better. He kneeled on the stage and appeared to turn grains of salt into a rope and wand and then turned it back to sand.
