A talented South African youth choir auditioned on leading global reality show America’s Got Talent recently, and in doing so they stole our hearts!

The choir from Limpopo took to the stage and stole the show. The Ndlovu Youth Choir have been performing together for 10 years and for some of them this was their first time travelling to the United States.

“We’ve always been waiting for a choir like this, something we’ve never heard before. Your energy was literally bouncing off to me right there, it was great. You, I’m going to remember,” said Simon Cowell, one of the four judges on the hit show.

People shared heartfelt reactions on social media:

Try not to cry.
This was beautiful. ❤️😭#NdlovuYouthChoir #AGT https://t.co/afNkIaHMh8
