South Africa's Ndlovu Youth Choir returned to the America's Got Talent stage in spectacular fashion.
The choir was invited to compete in the show's All-Stars spin-off that sees previous season contestants return for another shot at becoming champions.
The singers and their conductor Ralf Schmitt took to the AGT stage during Tuesday's episode to perform an original song called We Will Rise, described as a song about "the resilience of the human spirit".
Ahead of their performance, judge Simon Cowell said: "We used you as a reference for some of the best choirs we've ever had," with fellow judge Howie Mandel adding: "This is my favourite choir that has ever been on AGT."
After giving an emotional performance, Ndlovu Youth Choir received praise from the judges, with Heidi Klum saying: "This was my first time with you guys, and I loved it. I loved how vibrant you are inside and out. I loved it."
