A Look Back on Victory Brinker's History-Making AGT Run
A five-way Golden Buzzer right after commenting on Simon's wardrobe? Victory Brinker is an AGT fan favorite.
AGT's Victory Brinker made it to the final 10 Contestants in Season 16. The then-9-year-old opera singer's time on the show started with a history-making Golden Buzzer moment. After performing "Juliet's Waltz" during her audition, all four Judges (and Host Terry Crews) pressed their Golden Buzzers, marking the first time the whole group unanimously sent someone straight to the live shows.
Brinker instantly melted hearts with her timid yet forthright demeanor. When Judge Simon Cowell asked Brinker what she would do if she won the competition, she revealed she would liven up Cowell's wardrobe with a little more color. It's a moment fans remember fondly.
And Brinker had more moments like this throughout her run on America's Got Talent. While there have been numerous operatic acts on AGT, Brinker took the art to the next level.
Let's look back on Victory Brinker's historic AGT run from the very beginning:
