There were only seven spaces left for the live shows and Limpopo's favourite choir was one of them.

The choir performed an energetic rendition of the 2010 Fifa World Cup theme song, Waka Waka, which steered them to the live shows.

Judge Julianne Hough told the choir after their performance that what they represent is unity and collectiveness, describing their performance as ‘beautiful’.

Simon Cowell told the choir he loves seeing them perform. “I don’t know what it is, if I could bottle it up and drink it everyday, I would. It works, I think people want you to do well but this won’t be a walk in the park. Well done,” he said.

The choir took to Instagram late on Tuesday to express their excitement, “Never in our most amazing dreams did we think this could happen, we are through to the (@agt) live rounds! Hollywood here we come!!!” the caption read.
