Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir Receives A GOLDEN BUZZER From Simon Cowell! | America’s Got Talent 2025
When unity, purpose, and passion collide — magic happens.
And that’s exactly what the Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir brought to the AGT stage in 2025.
Their harmonies were powerful.
Their message was inspiring.
And their performance?
So breathtaking that even Simon Cowell couldn’t hold back.
With one slam of the Golden Buzzer, he launched them straight to the live shows — and into the hearts of millions.
🎤 Who Are They?
The Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir is a diverse, community-based gospel choir made up of talented teenagers and young adults from Birmingham, Alabama. Formed with a mission to uplift youth through music, faith, and community, they’ve turned music into a tool for healing and hope.
“We come from different neighborhoods, different stories — but we sing with one voice,” said their choir director before the performance.
🎶 The Audition: Heaven on Earth
The group performed a powerful gospel anthem — possibly “Stand Up,” “A Change Is Gonna Come,” or an original inspirational song.
From the first note, their voices soared — layered harmonies, soloist standouts, and soul-shaking power that echoed through the auditorium.
The audience rose to their feet before the song even ended, clapping, crying, and cheering with joy.
👏 Simon’s Rare Golden Moment
As the final note rang out, the judges began to speak — but Simon Cowell didn’t wait.
Instead, he stood up silently…
looked at the choir…
and slammed the GOLDEN BUZZER.
Golden confetti rained down as the choir burst into joyful tears, hugging each other in shock and disbelief. The crowd exploded in celebration.
“You just changed this season,” Simon said.
“This wasn’t just a performance — this was a movement.”
