Children's Choir Earns Golden Buzzer With Emotional 'Moana' Performance on 'America's Got Talent': Watch

With a starring role in the Hangover franchise, America’s Got Talent guest judge Ken Jeong is well-known as a funny guy.

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

But when the Voices Of Hope Children's Choir performed on America’s Got Talent Tuesday night, Jeong got his serious game on.

The 70-kid-strong choir from Orange County auditioned last month with “This Is Me,” the inspirational hit from the Greatest Showman soundtrack.

The choir returned to the AGT stage on Tuesday night for the Judge Cuts round. “You made quite an impression when you first came on the auditions,” judge Simon Cowell recounted. They made quite the impression this time around, too. Their performance of "How Far I'll Go" from the Moana soundtrack had judge Mel B wiping away tears, Cowell praising their great improvement and Jeong slamming down the golden buzzer. 

Everyone was emotional. 

The Voices Of Hope Children's Choir now progress to the live phases. Watch below.
