The South African choir earned a position in the final episode with their rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere”.
The first time they took to the stage, they earned Judge Simon Cowell’s first extra Golden Buzzer, after covering the late Nightbirde’s original song “It’s OK” which she performed when she first auditioned in 2021.
Nightbirde, who received a Golden Buzzer in 2021, died of cancer in 2022 at the age of 31.
Following their semi-final performance, Judge Sofia Vergara described their performance as spectacular.
Cowell said: “I believe this act is outstanding. You can’t help but be drawn in by your enthusiasm and performance style. It’s a cliché, but this stage may make or break you. Tonight, you were made.”
The final episode will air on 26 September.
