On a night when the “America’s Got Talent” judges were dishing out standing ovations like candy to kids on Halloween, the moment when Sofia Vergara didn’t stand with the other three following Jimmie Herrod‘s jaw-dropping rendition of “Tomorrow” smelled rotten.
When Jimmie announced that he’d be singing “Tomorrow” from the musical “Annie,” Simon declared that it’s his “worst song in the world” and urged him to sing something else.
At times, like when Jimmie was hitting his biggest notes, Heidi Klum‘s jaw would drop a little, but Sofia remained reserved to the point of remaining in her seat as they other three rose to their feet.
Simon was able to change his mind, saying that “it’s not worst song anymore,” before passing the mic over to Sofia who hesitantly stated that she “didn’t like it that much.” Amidst boos from the audience and extreme confusion from Terry, Sofia clarified, “But I loved it!” and hit the Golden Buzzer so that gold confetti rained down on Jimmie.
In the audition phase of “AGT,” an act needs at least three of the four judges to give them a “yes” vote to advance to the next round.
