Simon Cowell decided to change the rules for Season 19 of "America's Got Talent," allowing each judge two Golden Buzzers, stating "New season, new rules."
Heidi Klum supported Simon's decision, noting that he often does what he wants because he is the boss and has a clear vision for the show.
Heidi appreciates having two Golden Buzzers as it allows judges to advance more deserving acts directly to the Live Shows, reducing competition among judges.
Despite the additional Golden Buzzers, the total number of acts making it to the Live Shows remains the same.
The extra Golden Buzzer helps judges ensure that acts they love avoid being cut during the Judges Picks phase.
Heidi used her first Golden Buzzer for Richard Goodall, a humble 55-year-old janitor with an impressive performance, ensuring his spot in the Live Shows.
Heidi feels deeply connected to some contestants, appreciating their stories and talents, as seen with her admiration for Richard Goodall.
Heidi loves being a part of AGT, likening it to the best time in school, and enjoys the diversity and talent showcased on the show.
