PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent' Season 19's highly anticipated fourth round of the Quarterfinals showcased 11 talented contestants, each vying to advance in the competition. Only three will move forward, with one spot to be decided by judge Simon Cowell. This week, Simon has the power to push the Golden Buzzer and has been notably critical in making his decision.

The episode kicked off with the 31-member Aussie dance crew Brent Street. Utilizing small stages on wheels, the group delivered a dynamic performance that was eye-catching, entertaining, and beautifully executed—truly deserving. Brent Street received Howie Mandel's Golden Buzzer during the auditions, and he recognized their deserving talent. He and Sofia Vergara pushed for Simon to send Brent Street directly to the finale, but Simon suggested the act wasn't worth it. He described the performance as 'too artsy' and 'a little bit slow,' which led to boos from the audience—an entirely fitting reaction. Brent Street's performances stand out from typical dance groups, captivating viewers with innovative and exciting new elements that add a fresh and thrilling dimension to their acts.
