Choir of NYC Nurses Gets Golden Buzzer on 'AGT' Season Premiere - Watch the Inspiring Audition!

The first golden buzzer recipient of the 16th season of America’s Got Talent was so deserving!

The Northwell Health Nurse Choir is a chorus of frontline nurses from New York City and they gave us an inspiring performance of the classic song “Stand By Me.”

The judges and the audience rose to their feet the second the audition ended and judge Howie Mandel decided to hit the golden buzzer for the choir. This means the nurses will go directly to the quarter-finals!

Howie said, “One word comes to mind. It is heroic in every way. What a perfect song. You stand by people you don’t know. You watch horror and I just thought, ‘I want to stand by you.’”

Judge Simon Cowell said, “We need you. The world needs you. It is going to touch a lot of people. I am going to remember this audition.”
