PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Simon Cowell is not holding back his emotions! The 'America's Got Talent' Season 19 judge who is well-known for his tough exterior and no-nonsense behavior was seen getting teary-eyed during the two-hour grand finale of the NBC competition. It's a rare sight to see tears welling up in Simon's eyes well up, however, we love to see men embracing their sensitive sides as well. There's no harm in shedding a few tears if you feel like venting out your emotions.

During their finale performance, drone group Sky Elements paid a heartfelt tribute to America and its aspiring dreamers. Their act featured a couple of powerful images including a young kid reading a book, a cowboy, the Statue of Liberty, a train, and a soaring bald eagle. Following their act, Simon expressed that the drone act made him feel “very emotional.” He went on to describe the drone acrobats's performance as a "very special act."
