Brent Street appeared on 'AGT' with only one member introduced to the Judges, giving the impression that he would be performing solo. However, as he got started, it was evident that Brent Street had a strong connection.
"You're amazing," cried an amazed Howie, and he actually meant it. He presented the group with the prized Golden Buzzer and added a surprise twist of his own.
Perhaps it's because he was inspired by the dancers' erratic movements. When it was Howie's turn to comment on the ensemble, he had disappeared from his seat.
"Where's Howie?" inquired the other Judges. Howie suddenly jumped up from behind the panel's table, lifted his hand, and pressed the buzzer.

Howie emerged from his hiding location and concluded, "I thought everything you did was amazing. It was a surprise."
