Messoudi Brothers Return with a NEW Act, Watch Mel B. hit the Golden Buzzer
Here’s a thing that doesn’t happen often. Ahead of last week’s premiere, America’s Got Talent dropped a preview of a Golden Buzzer act, The Messoudi Brothers! Judge Mel B chose the brothers as one of her two Golden Buzzers. The acrobats’ audition is part of the Auditions 2 episode, airing on June 3.
In fact, the duo are AGT returnees. They normally work with a third brother, but he stayed behind in Australia to be with his two children. The Messoudi Brothers originally competed on AGT Season 14 in 2019, the season Simon Cowell “fired” Mel B. and Heidi Klum, replacing them with the ill-fated Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough. Simon was the only panelist around when the trio competed on AGT.

The hand-balancing act left the show at the semi-final round. Singer Kodi Lee went on to win the season. But as fans are about to see, the Messoudi duo are about to receive a tremendous boost from Mel B, which will advance them straight to the live shows.
The Messoudi brothers, now a duo, return with a completely new act
The new act now brandishes knives, which they toss to each other as they strip off their tops, shoes and pants. They’ve transformed in to a comedy act, including their clothings items into the juggling act. Alas, they pull their clothes back on as they continue to toss dangerous knives. The old hand balancing routine displayed skill and strength. This new act is amusing and somewhat dangerous, but not as impressive as their prior feats of strength. Congrats on getting through the entire act without dropping a knife or injuring themselves!
Afterward, Simon called the act “breathtaking” adding “it felt different” and dubbing it “a moment.”
“It’s incredibly dangerous,” Howie Mandel observed. Mel B felt it was “really frightening to watch you take them off…I was that scared for you to put them back on.” Then she shocks the panel, and even the duo with what she does next.
“I do think I want to say one thing to you.” Mel B said as she got out of her chair. “I think you are perfect.” She hit the Golden Buzzer and the confetti flew. She walked off the stage after congratulating them, quipping, “Really terrifyingly sexy.” Sofia Vergara shouted, “I was going to do it! That was my Golden Buzzer! She took it away!” You snooze, you loose. Sofia.
America’s Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8 PM ET/PT on NBC, streaming on Peacock next day.
