Watch the ‘AGT: All-Stars’ Golden Buzzer Winner That Simon Cowell Says Is ‘The Best Performance I’ve Seen All Series’

Monday night was the fifth night of auditions for America’s Got Talent: All-Stars and there was just one Golden Buzzer left to be awarded, the group Golden Buzzer, which meant that judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and host Terry Crews all had to be in accord as to who to bestow it on.

They expressed some concern at the head of the show that that might be a problem, but after Britain’s Got Talent finalist Tom Ball performed his unique rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence,” and with the AGT audience chanting “Golden Buzzer, Golden Buzzer,” there was no doubt that the 24-year-old secondary school teacher (in the U.S. that means high school) from West Sussex, U.K., was the act that deserved it.

“Tom, I’m actually angry about something,” Simon said. “I wish this was the first time I had heard you in a weird way. You are like Susan Boyle’s grandson because what you do is not what we expect. For me, this is the best performance I’ve seen all series.”

Howie chimed in, saying, “You’re surprising in so many ways. You’re only 24 years old and Simon and Garfunkel are a lot older than that, but you do it so right. You’re really amazing.”
