On America's Got Talent's nineteenth season, there are more Golden Buzzer recipients than ever before. In addition to Howie, his fellow America's Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara are each able to hit the Golden Buzzer twice, while host Terry Crews only had one Golden Buzzer to give out.

Brent Street, a large dance crew led by 17-year-old Zach from Sydney, Australia, earned itself one of the nine Golden Buzzers that will be awarded this season, and so the group will automatically advance to America's Got Talent's Live Shows beginning Tuesday, August 13 at 8PM ET/PT on NBC.

Zach, wearing all white, introduced himself to the judging panel as a soloist before the music started playing.

Zach danced with the lower half his body in the hole of a sheet, and as he performed, other dancers' hands and heads stuck out of other holes. The crew then ditched the curtain entirely and performed staccato and synchronous movements with energy and excitement.

"Oh my gosh, Zach, that was so exciting! I mean, you gave us more friends of yours from Australia, I'm assuming!" Heidi said while the audience cheered for the jaw-dropping routine.

"This was a very, very, very exciting dance!" she added. "Beautiful! It was also something we haven't seen before. Very entertaining and very well done."

Sofia pointed out how the judges see "a lot of dancing" on America's Got Talent -- yet this performance was certainly unique.

"That's my favorite part of AGT, to watch dancers and watch what humans can do with their bodies," Sofia gushed.

"The beginning was spectacular and the rest was as good as the beginning," she noted. "That was, for sure, the coolest thing I've seen today."

Simon went on to acknowledge that not only was the performance incredible to watch from a physical standpoint, but he was also blown away by the choreography and storytelling of the routine.

"It was well thought out, creative, and original. Even though there was a lot of you, it was almost like there was just one [person]," Simon explained.

"I'm guessing this took months and months to prepare," Simon added.

Zach confirmed that Simon was correct, and then Simon continued, "I can see just how much it means to each one of you individually. That's the kind of audition we love on this show."

When it became time for Howie to speak his mind from the judging panel, he was nowhere to be found.

Howie's voice could suddenly be heard saying, "I thought everything you did was amazing. It was a surprise."

Howie, who had been hiding underneath the judges' table, proceeded to pop out and hit the Golden Buzzer.

Howie let Brent Street know that they were "amazing" as golden confetti fell from above.

"Brent Street, you just got the Golden Buzzer from Howie Mandel!" Terry shouted onstage.

The following acts have also received Golden Buzzer's on America's Got Talent this season: Argentinian Malambo dance crew Legion, comedian Learnmore Jonasi, janitor and aspiring singer Richard Goodall, rock and soul singer Liv Warfield, and drone act Sky Elements.

All four of the judges have now hit at least one of their Golden Buzzers for incredible America's Got Talent acts. Terry also already used his Golden Buzzer this season.
