OLIVIA MUNN SLAMS GOLDEN BUZZER FOR THE ANGEL CITY CHORALE
When The Angel City Chorale took over the America's Got Talent stage, Olivia Munn decided to hit her golden buzzer.
The Angel City Chorale boasts 160 members and aims to create a community, unite people from diverse backgrounds and inspire by donating time and resources to charitable efforts. The choir performed a rendition of "Baba Yetu,” theme from the 2005 video game, Civilization IV. Angle City choir's performance gave the audience and judges goosebumps as they started off softly with the sounds of drums and shaker. The perfect harmony was complete with dance moves that told the story of the song.
Howie complimented the choir saying that they performed as if they were living the song and that their performance told a story. Even Simon went as far as to call them inspiring and that of the many choirs he has seen over the year in America's Got Talent, Angel City choir is original.
When it came time for Olivia Munn to give her feedback, she almost seemed lost for words, calling their diversity inspirational and almost seem to run out of words when she decided to say it with the golden buzzer! To say that the room erupted with excitement is an understatement.
