Before Madison Taylor Baez could take to the stage, her father explained that performing in the show was her dream since she was four years old and every year, she asked her father when she could take to the stage. In an interesting twist, the 'AGT' crew planted Madison in the audience, to see if the judges would take notice. Madison sang 'Amazing Grace' while pretending to be an audience member and as soon as she began, the judges took notice, with Simon asking her about herself.

The judges urged her to take to the stage, assuming that she was an audience member still. While talking about herself, Madison got emotional and explained how being on the show was a long-time dream of hers. Simon asked her to audition, stating that she didn't need a track and should just give it her all. Madison continued to sing 'Amazing Grace' and the judges were absolutely floored.

When asked what she would do with the money, she explained that she'd use it to help her father, Chris, with cancer research, seeing that he has stage four colon cancer for the past 9 years. When it came to voting, the audience knew what they wanted -- they wanted Madison to get the golden buzzer and that's exactly what Howie Mandel did, hitting the golden buzzer and inviting her father on the stage. Chris explained that in his 9 years of cancer, Madison learned to sing to keep him going. It was an emotionally charged moment, as she explained that the moment was truly amazing. Fans agreed with the judges as well. "What a beautiful #GoldenBuzzer, @madisonbaez10! I really hope you win $1 million and help your Dad. #AGT" tweeted a fan. "I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! I always need a GOOD CRY & This show does it for me EACH WEEK #AGT #AmericasGotTalent" added another. "an amazing and wholesome #GoldenBuzzer! WELL DESERVED!! [#AGT]" wrote a fan. "This 11 year old girl definitely deserved the golden buzzer ! What a dream dream. What a talent.. Amazing grace.. What a daughter for a father to have.. I hope he gets the help he needs For his medicine for cancer" said another.
