Buni Crew: The Indian Dance Act That Had Judges Begging for a Non-Existent Golden Buzzer
In the world of America’s Got Talent, rivalries can be just as intense as the performances themselves. Enter Buni Crew, a dance group from India with a mission. Their leader, J2, was formerly a member of the Unreal Crew—a group that famously earned a Golden Buzzer in a previous season. After leaving his former team, J2 gathered a new group of dancers to form Buni Crew, specifically to compete on the AGT stage and prove their unique worth.
Their performance was a masterclass in synchronization and optical illusions. Featuring high-energy choreography and a “freaky” moment where a dancer appeared to turn his head all the way around, the act left the panel in a state of shock. Sofia Vergara called it “spectacular” and “very different,” noting that it took Season 20 to a completely new level. Heidi Klum was equally impressed by their timing, calling the precision “on point” and the overall execution “perfect.”
The most dramatic moment came after the music stopped. The judges were so enamored with the performance that they began pleading with producers to let them press the Golden Buzzer—only to be reminded that they had already used their seasonal limit. Heidi Klum even mentioned fighting with the “boss” to get one more buzzer. Despite Simon Cowell’s slight critique that the act felt “small” for the massive stage, the group secured four resounding “yeses.” With a looming “battle” against the Unreal Crew on the horizon, Buni Crew has officially set the stage for an epic showdown in the live shows.
