A talented group of kids from Uganda known as the Ghetto Kids accomplished a historic feat by earning the Golden Buzzer mid-performance.
This unprecedented achievement marked the first time in the show’s history that such a feat had been accomplished.
Comprised of more than 30 children living in an orphanage, the Ghetto Kids captivated the judges with an unforgettable performance during their initial audition on Saturday, April 15th, 2023.
Their exuberant display left the judges in awe, prompting Italian choreographer, ballroom and Latin dancer, and television personality Bruno Tonioli to hit the Golden Buzzer and bestow a standing ovation upon the group much to the surprise of popular judge Simon Cowell.
“I’ve to do it now,” said Tonioli said before hitting the buzzer. “I was literally exploding. You should be proud of yourselves, I can’t wait to see you back.”
The Ghetto Kids have gained international attention for their dancing skills and have performed for various audiences, including alongside singer Eddy Kenzo and American rapper French Montana.
