Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir Receives A GOLDEN BUZZER From Simon Cowell! | AGT 2025 🎤✨

A Night to Remember 🌃🎶

The stage lights dimmed. The audience waited in anticipation. Then, like a wave of divine harmony, the Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir took the stage — a diverse and vibrant group of young singers aged between 13 and 19, dressed in coordinating golden and white outfits, radiating unity and purpose.

From the first note, it was clear: this wasn’t just another choir. This was a movement in melody. Their arrangement of “Rise Up” by Andra Day combined classic gospel passion with modern vocal precision, delivered with such raw emotion that every note pierced the soul. 🎼💥

Simon Cowell: “This… this is why I do this show.” 😲👏

Simon Cowell, known for his brutally honest critiques, sat stone-faced for the first few moments — analyzing, observing, calculating. But then it happened. A slow smile crept across his face. As the crescendo hit, he turned to fellow judges Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Howie Mandel with wide eyes and said, “This… this is something special.”

By the end of the performance, the entire auditorium was on its feet — clapping, crying, cheering. The choir members were visibly emotional, some holding hands, others silently praying.

Then came the moment that turned the night into magic.

Simon stood up, walked to the center of the judge’s table, and without hesitation, slammed the Golden Buzzer. 💥🛎️💛

Golden confetti rained down as the choir members screamed, hugged, and collapsed in joyful disbelief. “I had a feeling God was in the room tonight,” Simon said as he joined the group on stage. “And He came with a choir.”

Who Are the Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir? 🙏🎵

Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, the choir is a community initiative born out of the Mount Zion Fellowship Center, a local church focused on empowering youth through music, faith, and service. Led by choir director Terrence “TJ” Williams, the group has been singing at local events, churches, and schools for years, but never on a platform like AGT.

Their mission? To uplift communities, heal hearts, and give youth a voice through gospel music.

“We’re not just here to win,” said 17-year-old soloist Aaliyah Brooks in a backstage interview. “We’re here to inspire. To show people what unity and love look like.”
