The auditions are officially over for the current season of America’s Got Talent and the final golden buzzer of the year has gone to Luke Islam, an incredible singer who aspires to be on Broadway one day.
The 12-year-old singer from New York opened up about his love for the theatre during his audition and he sang Sara Bareilles‘ “She Used to Be Mine” from the musical Waitress.
Julianne Hough, who he credited as his favorite judge, hit her golden buzzer after the audition.
“You have such talent and grace. You have something so special. You have an essence inside you that has given you a gift. And I believe that not only are you going to become a star, and get your dream to come true, but I don’t think you have to wait much longer,” Julianne said before hitting the buzzer.
The 11-year-old from North Carolina performed the violinist for his audition – and earned Simon Cowell‘s Golden Buzzer!
Before his Tyler shared his heartbreaking story about how he was bullied by kids in school because he was losing his hair due to his battle with leukemia. He then started taking violin lessons to distract him from his bullies.
After performing “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson, Simon hit the golden buzzer for Tyler and he will immediately move to the live shows.
The 13-year-old singer will be taking the stage on the next all new episode of America’s Got Talent to sing her rendition of “I Put a Spell On You”, most well known from Hocus Pocus.

The 14-year-old singer blew everyone away while performing the song “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile.
Simon Cowell even compared Benicio‘s audition to the first time he saw Harry Styles perform during an audition for the UK’s version of The X Factor.
Benicio sang the song with Brandi last year during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
“Benicio understands this song on a level I can only imagine,” she said last year. “When he sings it, it comes to life in a new way for me. He won’t be 13 forever, and he knows how it ends.”
The 22-year-old singer and pianist is blind and autistic, but he doesn’t let that get in the way of his talents. He wowed everyone during his audition on the show, which aired on Tuesday night (May 28).
Kodi performed the classic song “A Song For You” and brought the judges to their feet and tears to their eyes.
Gabrielle Union, one of the new judges this season, hit the golden buzzer for Kodi and he will immediately move to the live shows.
Backstage after the audition was over, she told Kodi, “you just changed the world!”
