The 9-year-old from Latrobe, Pa., was incredibly impressive with her performance of an opera song, but no Golden Buzzers remained. Howie, Simon, Sofia, Heidi and Terry had all awarded their Golden Buzzers to Northwell Health Nurse Choir, Nightbirde (whose real name is Jane Marczewski), Jimmie Herrod, Léa Kyle, and World TaekwandoDemonstration Team, respectively. So, after Victory sang “Juliet’s Waltz” from Romeo & Juliet and the judges weighed in with their comments, Simon called Terry down to the judges’ table for a confab and the result was more than the four yeses that Victory had told Terry she was hoping for. Simon said, “Victory, we are not going to give you a yes today. We are going to do something else. Something we have never ever done on the show before. We are all going to give you something special!” And so saying, all five pressed the Golden Buzzer. Howie told her, “I was not expecting that and you’re angelic. I loved it.” Heidi said, “I loved it, too. You have a beautiful voice. It was incredible.” And Sofia agreed, adding, “You are a star. I think you have a powerful voice. That was amazing. I really loved it.” Victory, who was adopted as a baby and has been singing since age two, said. “When I sing, it makes me feel happy, happy, and happy.” And her mom Christine said, Victory sings morning, noon, and night. There is nothing more touching as a parent than to see your child do what they love to do. All these years Victory has been saying, ‘I want to sing on AGT. I want to sing for the judges.’ She’s just this little girl, but I had no doubt, she was going to give it her all and here she is, nine years old, and it is happening. I am beyond proud of Victory, and I hope all her dreams come true.” Earning the Golden Buzzer goes a long way to making Victory’s dreams come true, but she didn’t lose her sense of humor. Earlier, when Simon asked her what she would do if she won the million-dollar prize, she said, “Buy Simon a rainbow shirt that has glitter on it.” And when he asked if she thought he needed color, she said, “Yes, because you only wear white, gray, and black,” proving she is indeed a fan of America’s Got Talent and very familiar with Simon’s wardrobe choices! America’s Got Talent airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Next, Check Out the Acts Auditioning on Night 6 for America’s Got Talent Season 16
