America's Got Talent Recap: The 'Worst Song in the World' Leads to a Golden Buzzer Win in Week 4 — Watch Video

Look, we’re not saying that this week’s Golden Buzzer moment was secretly a marketing stunt for NBC’s upcoming Annie Live!, but we’re not not saying it.

When singer Jimmie Herrod announced on Tuesday’s episode of America’s Got Talent that he was going to perform the iconic (and polarizing) showtune “Tomorrow,” Simon Cowell made it very clear that an “X” was likely in his future.

“Are you serious?” the grumpy judge asked. “Do you know that is my worst song in the world? You should do another song.” But when Herrod explained that it was the only song he prepared for his audition, the only response Cowell could muster was “good luck.”

Spoiler alert: Herrod didn’t need Cowell’s approval, or any additional “luck” for that matter. From its lovely beginning to its boisterous finish, the performance was flawless. Even Cowell gave it a standing ovation, calling it “unbelievable.”

Not only was the act universally loved by the judges, but Sofia Vergara took her appreciation a step further, smashing that Golden Buzzer and sending Herrod through to the live shows.
