Jane Marczewski aka Nightbirde, the breakout star from the previous season, was the inspiration for the group’s audition, according to their choreographer.
“When she said, ‘we can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before we decide to be happy’… seeing the Mayyas on America’s Got Talent is the most beautiful feeling I’ve ever felt,” he shared.
When asked by Sofia why they came to the show, the lead dancer replied: “Lebanon is a very beautiful country. But we live a daily struggle. Unfortunately being a dancer as a female Arab is not fully supported yet,” eventually breaking into tears and being supported by the room.
They also declared before starting their performance that they wanted to “hypnotise” the judges, requesting that they snuggle in closer together for the optimum experience.
They then performed a show-stopping routine that included a variety of visual illusions created with their multiple synchronized hand motions.

During the performance, the judges were left speechless, unable to respond with anything more than exclamations and the word “wow,” which was followed by a standing ovation from the whole studio.
“There are no words to explain to you what we were feeling over here. It was the most beautiful, creative dancing I’ve ever seen,” Sofia gushed at the end of the performance.
Her fellow judge Simon Cowell even delivered exceptionally high praise, saying that it was likely “the best dance act they will have ever seen on the show.”
Sofia led the vote by first saying: “I would be so honored to empower you even more in this journey because you deserve it, and I want to be part of this.”
She then pressed the golden buzzer, eliciting a raucous round of applause and tears from the audience, and even making her way to the stage to hug the artists.
