America’s Got Talent is back! Season 21 premiered with the first round of auditions on June 2. Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B., and Sofia Vergara were behind the judges’ table, deciding which acts would move forward with a chance to perform during the Live Shows.
All four judges, along with host Terry Crews, had two Golden Buzzers to give out during auditions, and three of them were pushed during the premiere episode. The contestants who received Golden Buzzers will automatically make the Live Shows, without having to worry about getting cut during the judges’ deliberations.
