'AGT: Fantasy League' contestant Musa Motha gets Simon Cowell's golden buzzer

Musa Motha has made a significant impact on 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' in various ways. Motha, who had initial visa problems, managed to make it to the semifinals despite losing a leg to cancer. His outstanding performance in the semifinals was so remarkable that Judge Simon Cowell pressed the Golden Buzzer, leading to a positive reaction from the audience.

Motha was filled with strong emotions and began to cry when the audience cheered and chanted his name. The South African dancer displays resilience by choosing to see his amputation as an opportunity for personal growth. Despite losing his left leg to cancer at 11 years old, he committed to physical therapy and learned to walk using crutches.

Simon Cowell wasted no time in sharing his thoughts on Musa's performance, causing the crowd to erupt in applause for him. Cowell said, "Oh wow, wow, wow. Musa, you know, we met in the UK. I’ll never forget the first time I saw him. It was one of those moments, you know, where you just go I will never forget that.”

Before pressing the Golden Buzzer, Simon went on to say, “There’s something so amazing about you and you just, everyone—I was looking around—they were captivated and I don’t think the finale would be the same without you and I want to give you a little hand."

Soon after, Cowell and Motha celebrated together on stage and before leaving the stage, Motha emphasized the importance of the experience. Motha expressed gratitude towards Simon and reflected on the difficult times he experienced in the hospital. Despite witnessing others facing challenges, he sees his current situation as a realization of his dreams.
