Howie Mandel has been with America’s Got Talent longer than anyone else on camera. How long? Ten amazing years.

In honor of the milestone, he decided to throw himself a party and invited everyone from the show to come. He is so well-liked that only the three other judges and one other person showed up.

Which is the perfect amount of people for the cake he brought for everyone to share. Although, as soon as the sparklers were out, so were Simon Cowell, Gabrielle Union, and Julianne Hough. As the dancer said, “This is so sad.” Poor Howie. They treated him like he treats germs.

Here is to another ten. Just a word of advice, don’t throw yourself another party.

Australian native Ben Trigger came to America’s Got Talent to wow the audience with his dancing and that is exactly what he did.

There was not a lot of Boogie when he started off his routine, but then it quickly became a Wonderland. About a quarter of the way into his number, he started to take his clothes off. That is when the Earth, Wind and Fire lit up the stage. It got so hot, he came down off of it and shook his tassels for Simon Cowell’s eyes only. Leaving the King of Mean stunned and excited. Not as excited as Trigger who accidentally triggered the Golden Buzzer for himself.

Does that mean he automatically moves forward to Hollywood? Nope, that is not how the show works. Does he move forward to the next round? All four judges said yes, so yes!

I cannot wait to see what he does next? Hopefully a lap dance for Cowell!

Terry Crews is from Flint, Michigan. He did not have the easiest start in life, but someone believed in him. Because of that belief, he is the man we know today as the host of America’s Got Talent.

Tonight on the show, he saw that person who believed in him in Detroit Youth Choir’s leader Anthony White. White is making sure these kids get the best of life. While that is all nice and stuff, can they perform?

DYC started it off slow with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ Can’t Hold Us, and they did a 360. They rapped, they sang and they danced in unison. Most importantly they wowed. Even Simon Cowell was dancing along. Simon “Mr. Mean” Cowell was smiling.

In fact, all of the judges praised them. Was that enough to move them forward on the competition? That is when Crews made a speech, got us crying and did something remarkable. He hit the Golden Buzzer. That means DYC automatically advances to the live shows. Something they completely deserve. I cannot wait to see what they do next. I know they will leave us cheering them on.

Ever since I saw Crews in White Chicks, I have been a fan. Tonight is another example of why!

America’s Got Talent is back on NBC and I was not sure how the new judges, Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough, would do. Well, Union is proving to be the heart of the show.

Kodi Lee, a 22-year-old man who is blind and autistic, came out with his amazing mom Tina. The judges asked him some questions and he told them that he is going to sing for them. He sat down at the piano and started to play Donny Hathaway’s A Song For You. Once he sang his first note and you heard his soulful voice, the tears began to stream down our faces. When he was done, the judges and the audience rightfully gave him a long standing ovation. Making a special moment even more special.

However, it did not stop there. All four judges, including Simon Cowell, praised him, and Union took it one step further. She hit the Golden Buzzer sending him directly to the live shows.

Lee said he will never forget that moment and neither will we. This is what talent competitions are all about. Finding extraordinary people with amazing talents. It is about giving people a shot that would normally not get one. I hope he goes all the way!

However, who knows who else we will find out about this season because yesterday was only night one.

To hear Lee talk about his audition, then click here!

We know that America’s Got Talent changed it up this season, but when will we see those changes? NBC announced today talent competition show will return on May 28th.

That is when we will find out if the new judges, Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union, work well with Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell and new host Terry Crews. I think it will be interesting because we know that Hough doesn’t like to share the spotlight and neither does Cowell. Since it is the latter one’s show, I think we know who will win out.
