Mel used hers for singer, Sharon Irving, and Heidi gave the buzzer to young Opera singer, Arielle Baril. Howie was first shown pressing it for Drew Lynch, a comedian with a speech impediment, Howard used his for dance duo, Freckled Sky. In Season 10, the golden buzzer format was changed so that acts who receive the buzzer, now automatically skip the Judge Cuts, and go straight to the live shows. The act given Mel B's Golden Buzzer this season, is unknown.
Neither of The Birthday Boys' performances were televised.
Heidi Klum used her golden buzzer for a Cyr wheel acrobatic duo called 'The Birthday Boys,' featuring Brad Henderson, who performed the act solo in the next round for Judgement Week. Howard Stern used his on comedy, karate demonstration duo, Dustin's Dojo, and Howie Mandel used his on comedy rap duo, Emmanuel & Phillip Hudson. Unlike how it's currently used, the Golden Buzzer's original purpose was to send an act right to judgement week, regardless of what the other judge's votes were. Season 9 featured the debut of the golden buzzers.
