“AGT”: Simon Calls One Act The 'Definition of Courage' After They Perform an Awe-Inspiring Routine Despite Injury


Sebastián left the judges stunned after he performed a jaw-dropping aerial performance for two after his partner Sonia was injured during rehearsals Trae Patton/NBC Simon Cowell America's Got Talent has been graced with another inspiring golden buzzer moment! During the Sept. 3 episode of the hit talent show, Sebastián and Sonia, an aerial duo from Barcelona, Spain, proved that the show must go on after Sonia injured her arm during rehearsals. Despite the set back, Sebastián performed a solo routine to Shawn Mendes' "In My Blood." As he twirled, spun and performed gravity defying stunts with aerial silks, the crowd gave Sebastián a standing ovation as they looked on with awe. When he finished his routine, Sonia joined him on stage and the pair shared a kiss before getting praise from judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel.

"Honestly, I think most people would have just said, you know what, we've had an accident and therefore we can't continue, but you did the opposite, you continued," he added. As fans began to cheer louder and louder, Simon prefaced that the Sebastián deserved special mention not "just because" of Sonia's accident but because his performance was the "best reaction we've had so far" before pushing the coveted golden buzzer of the night. Golden confetti began to fall and Simon made his way on stage to hug the ecstatic duo and congratulate them on Sebastián's performance.

It was a really hard day, I only had three days to [put together] this act and I just [wanted to do] the best as I could." Terry then moved on to Simon who offered an explanation as to why he believed the duo deserved the highest honor of the night. "That is the definition of courage. You don't give up, seriously," he said, before offering fans a glimpse into the brief words he exchanged with the pair. "I just said, are you going to be okay for the final? And she said yes, so that was really the best by far tonight." Related: America's Got Talent Unveils the 44 Acts Competing in the Season 19 Live Shows — Plus a Historic Golden Buzzer Twist!
