The seasoned judges of AGT were recently treated to an exceptionally fun and talented performance.
Singing trio Chapel Hart delivered it.
In fact, after the “girl group” effectively brought down the house, judges Simone Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandle, Sofia Vergara, and even host Terry Cruz wound up doing something a little out of the ordinary.
They bent the rules for them.
The Poplarville, Mississippi trio are made up of sisters Danica Hart and Devynn Hart and their cousin, Trea Swindle.
The trio wants to bring back the pop culture reign of girl groups in the 90’s, confirming what Simon asked about the girl group vibe.
As for the name, here’s the answer.
âWe grew up in a small community called Hartâs Chapel, itâs named after our family because thereâs way too many of us,â Trea jokingly said.
Simon Cowell asked the trio where they saw themselves in five years if they did well on Americaâs Got Talent.
They quickly replied with, âWorld domination.â
The trio’s energy and vibe are undeniable and when asked what they were singing, they said it was a song inspired by Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”.
“You can have him Jolene.”
That’s what they’ve dubbed their rehash of the country hit.
See, it’s been decades so there’s no point fighting over the same man.
It’s such a rocking, uptempo song full of originality and playfulness, revealing who Chapel Hart are at their very core.
Even judges were on their feet.
âOh my God!â Cowell exclaimed, âtrust me, I needed you today! I mean, that was fantastic! I love you and love the choreography you have going on around you. It was just brilliant.â
Simon asked if they’ve been trying to get signed. Danica tearfully said that they’ve been trying to break into Nashville for the last few years.
âItâs been kind of hard when I think Country music doesnât always look like us.â
âYou know what you got to do sometimes? You just got to break down that door and you may have just broken down the door with that performance. Trust me,â Cowell responded.
Listen to the audience though.
âFirst of all, I believe you broke down the door. I love song, I love the energy, I love the look. You say Country music doesnât look like you, that is your win because you are going to be the original,â Mandel declared.
âYour joy is infectious and everything that youâre giving is received over here and I loved it!â Klum exclaimed.âEverything was perfect, the song, the energy, you guys look like youâve been doing this for a long time and Iâm so proud of you guys,â Vergara added.
They had the judges enthralled.
Cowell said he had already used his golden buzzer, but admits that he would for them.
The audience begins chanting as the judges and Crews huddle for awhile.
They reached a unanimous decision.
Simon counts down as all 5 hands come together over the golden buzzer, slamming down and raining gold on Chapel Hart.
The tears flow, hugs are exchanged, and dreams are definitely about to come true for this amazing trio.
