It was really frustrating because there were many, many times after we’d picked that I was, ‘God, that would be a great Golden Buzzer.’ But you know, maybe next year.” The second I got this on [a smaller brace], I was literally back on my bike. “So, this year, I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to hold out to the very end and I’m going to look for that special act.’ But then things always happen differently. You feel goosebumps and you feel something with that person. All of a sudden someone comes onto the stage who you fall in love with, and you’re like, ‘I didn’t want to pick out of that category,’ but then you do in any case because you can’t help it. They tell you their life story or what their dream is, so that’s always interesting because everyone comes from different walks of life, different places in the world, and then they do their act, so it can never be boring because every day is always different.”

Simon told Avery that he hopes his bullies are watching his audition because he was “great” because he provided all the ups and downs of a vocalist. Perfectly choreographed, Shu’s act had Simon saying “my God,” Heidi calling it the best they’ve ever seen, Howie calling it cool and fun, and Sofia saying his nerves drifted away the second he began. He says that playing the saxophone took him away from that dark mindset and gave him something to refocus his attention on. Without a doubt, the judges gave him four Yes votes to the next round. For his set he began by saying he “likes older moms” whose kids just left the house, juxtaposing his own youth with that of her kids that he refers to as “step-man” and himself as “step-Mike.” He transitioned into jokes about his job in the “steal department” (self-check out line) at a grocery store and his experiences there. Heidi and Howie said that her twist to not use a doll was refreshing and Simon said it’s the “best original” interpretation of ventriloquism they’ve seen. 9:20 p.m. – Veranica & Her Incredible Friends took the stage next, surprising Simon with the list of animal pets that twelve year old Veranica has, including doves and camels. The crowed booed as Simon and Howie said they don’t like the song and then started chanting “parmesan! parmesan! 8:23 p.m. – Coming from Philadelphia, Mervant Vera brought his magic act to the show as a way of proving that if “you can do it” on AGT then you can do it anywhere. Sofia loved his “beautiful personality” and Simon said there’s something “charming, humble, and likable” about him. Simon called them a “mini explosion” and led the panel through another set of four Yes votes. Host Terry Crews welcomed series judges Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel back to the dais with performances from the first set of performance artists out of thousands that auditioned.

Saxophonist Avery Dixon blows 'AGT' judges away with emotional ... (USA TODAY)

Saxophonist Avery Dixon earned the first Golden Buzzer of "America's Got Talent" Season 17 after he wowed the judges with his heartfelt audition.

“You touched the heart of every human being in this building right now,” Crews said. “I was in such a dark place, I actually wanted to commit suicide,” Dixon said. All of us were willing you to be good; I didn’t know you were gonna be great.” “Every time I hear a story about a kid being bullied at school, it breaks my heart,” Cowell said. “Maybe we have to hear it again, and then maybe it grows on us,” she said. Dixon revealed he was born prematurely at 1 pound, 8 ounces, and was often bullied by classmates for his “airy” voice and the knots on his head. … That’s when I started actually learning how to play (the saxophone).” “What’s there not to like about you?” Cowell continued. “You should have your own show. / I just want more cheese, is that so wrong?” “I have a granddaughter that’s 7 years old. “I’m absolutely blown away,” Mandel said.

Featuring a yo-yo act, a saxophonist, and an energetic drumline, the Season 17 premiere aired May 31 on NBC.

All four of the judges sang his praises, with Cowell saying it was like watching a singer perform. Instead of yeses and no’s, the judges gave him yo’s and no’s. Thankfully, he got four big yo’s. Inspired by watching ventriloquists on AGT, the opera singer was captivated by the artform and taught herself everything she needed to know, becoming an expert in two years. Hailing from Chicago, The Pack Drumline was the first performance of the night and they did not disappoint. The pop group performed their original song, “Candy Hearts.” The group was formed by children’s entertainment icon Siwa and her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, who were cheering in support from backstage. The magician incorporated mystifying card tricks and rapping into his act, including an original song inspired by hip-hop musicals.

Among the many contestants was singer/songwriter Ben Lapidus who, despite his unusual methods, earned his spot in this year's competition.

Lapidus then broke out unto an encore of the song, this time with both the audience and judges backing the 29-year-old singer. The song, aptly titled “Parmesan Cheese,” walks through Lapidus going to an Italian restaurant and being embarrassed for always wanting more parmesan on his pasta. The expert panel of judges – Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel – welcomed another round of hopefuls, all vying to take home the title and prize money.

Simon Cowell Can't Stop Going On About America's Got Talent ... (Cinema Blend)

Simon Cowell had his mind blown in both good and terrible ways during America's Got Talent Season 17's premiere, and he was quite vocal about it.

As displeased and put off as he may have appeared during that segment of the America’s Got Talent premiere, Simon Cowell seems to have softened somewhat (like a fine cheese, no doubt) in the intervening span since the audition episodes were filmed. I feel like this song would be on the compilation Now That’s What I Call Music-ish, or that it would be a D-side track for Adam Sandler’s “The Hanukkah Song.” Admittedly, it’s a silly ass song — Big Parma is a magical pun — made all the more impactful by the authenticity that Ben Lapidus brought to it. Following this year’s Memorial Day, NBC dropped the Season 17 premiere of the hit competition series America’s Got Talent, and it was certainly one to be remembered, if not entirely for positive reasons.

On the season 17 premiere of "AGT" on May 31, the judges changed their mind about singer Ben Lapidus.

Heidi joined Simon in switching their votes to a Yes, but Howie held firm, leaving the decision up to Sofia. Because of the crowd’s love of Ben, she said she has to vote Yes, but still told Simon and Heidi that they’re insane for making them have to hear this “horrific song” again. Not only did Howie and Simon hit their red X buzzers for “Parmesan Cheese,” but so did Heidi and Sofia despite Heidi seemingly cheering on the subject matter of the song. After a string of disastrous auditions that the judges had to turn down, the hopes of Ben winning them over with an original song about cheese were slim.
