11-Year-Old 'Wows' On America's Got Talent
While previews promise that some impressive talent is still to come, a number of acts have proven themselves to shine over the course of the last few weeks.
One such act was featured last week and proved to capture the audience not just for their talent, but for their spirit and the sheer number of members involved.

The One Voice Children's Choir appeared on the NBC stage after coming out from Utah to perform and was composed of exactly one hundred children. Ranging from ages 6-18, the group performed the song Burn by Ellie Goulding.
While the first half of the number proved a little uneven to some of the judges, the kids picked it up for the second half and ran with it to leave quite an impression.
"in the singing category we look for 'moments'..." explained judge Howard Stern, "If you get one of those moments, you're pretty good...you guys had about 50 of those moments." Stern went on to call act "gold" and eagerly voted them through.
Judge Howie Mandel was not quite as impressed, and voted no against the young singing hopefuls. Heidi Klum fell in love with the act and voted in favor of them continuing, leaving the last vote up to Mel B, the only one of the judges to have been a professional singer.
After Stern, literally, begging on his hands and knees, and feeling the excitement of the audience as they chanted for The One Voice Children's Choir to be pushed through, Mel B followed Stern and Klum and voted to keep the act at least for the next round.
The children erupted into cheers, crying and laughing at their victory. Will they make it through the next round of cuts? Do they seem to have it in them to do it? If nothing else, Howard Stern certainly seems to think so.
America's Got Talent continues on NBC tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
