How are you? What's your name and where are you from?
We are Bird and Byron.
I am Bird and I'm Byron and we're from Columbus, Ohio.
Bird and Byron, how long have you been doing this together?
We've known each other for over 20 years
but we've been making music together for about seven.
Do you guys have regular jobs when you earn a living from this?
I currently work at a burger restaurant.
Okay.
Yeah, and I restore jukeboxes in my free time.
Oh, wow.
Who are you here with today?
Stephanie is in the audience.
That is Nick Smoller.
The stage
is yours.
Good luck.
Thank you so much.
In
all
unexplained
Oh, feeling so deep inside
Is this love or is it pain?
Oh,
someday,
darling,
I'll
never
let
you
go.
Personal
to you, can
you tell us
a little bit
about that?
Yeah, we wrote that during a tough period of my life
where I was going through some troubles and loneliness.
It's about finding special someone to always be there for you.
I really felt that. What did you think?
I thought that was absolutely beautiful and haunting.
It just, it's like you're crying and you're singing
and it's just, it's just so deep.
In tune and perfect pitch.
And perfect pitch.
Thank you, Han. Appreciate it.
Audition I have seen this season.
Thank you, Sophia. Thank you.
Simon.
Um, come we haven't heard of you.
Yes.
Um, I'm not sure, but you have now, so.
We can try, for sure. No doubt.
Knocking on those doors and no one answers them right? Yes, sir. I know
Your voice is sensational and also the way the two of you are together
Together I'm
You wrote the song as well
Yeah, amazing. Wow. Okay. That was really good. Well done.
Thank you, son. I'm gonna start this off with your first. Yes
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And that's your second yes
Thank you.
Sophia?
I'm not getting yours.
Thank you
Simon.
That makes it four.
Thank you guys
so much.
How are you feeling right now?
Great.
You are one cool cat.
Thanks, man.
Bro, you took me into a whole other era.
When he got on his knees.
Yeah, it was like...
And then his hands took behind his back.
That was an original?
Yes, sir.
I think you're great.
And your voice and the music is so distinctive.
But, you know, we're talking about the showmanship.
Tell me what you said right in the middle of the...
I said, you know, you're the front man.
I saw you close your eyes.
You didn't open them again.
And I was thinking, man, if he opened his eyes,
he'd see we're all just grooving so hard right now.
And you're scared of seeing something
that wasn't even happening.
Be the front man.
I agree.
You're closing us off.
Share the vibe.
And share the vibe with America.
Yeah.
Did it feel good?
I don't know.
Could have been more of a showman, I guess.
Hopefully the closed eyes thing isn't killing.
There was a part of me that was just really nervous for him,
and it made me feel anxious.
We really want to be on that live show.
Hopefully.
You stole the show, gotta stay.
Ovation.
I lost control from your face.
From the staging, you don't say hello,
eye contact, I'm impatient.
You stole my show, so I chose you.
The payment.
It makes me shiver.
I'm starting to speak now.
But you can be different.
I
don't
know
how
to
describe
how
I'm
taking
it in,
but
it's
like
a
fine
wine,
you
know?
It's just like, you just savor your voice and the music,
and I can listen to you all
night long, and just, it's so joyful,
and I'm sitting here looking at your mothers.
Both your mothers are sitting here.
It's like, I feel like I'm
at the best parents' night I've ever been to.
Mel B!
Right, well, I've got to be honest.
Okay, so that vocally, pitch-perfect-wise wasn't the best.
But I don't mind that because I can see your emotion
and I know what you can do.
And thank God it's not up to us, it's up to America to vote
because I really do like you guys.
I really do.
She wants a story.
Heidi!
The two of you definitely have chemistry together.
You know, your voice, your guitar playing.
You know, there's magic with the two of you on the stage.
I enjoyed it, and I wish you good luck on the voting tonight.
Thank you so much.
Sophia!
Well, I definitely think you have one of the most sexiest,
interesting voices I have ever heard.
I think it's, I mean,
I could hear you sing all night long, all day long, too.
Hello.
I think, I think it was amazing.
I think it was the biggest step up of the night.
You guys did a great, great job.
Thank you so much.
Byron and Byron, you sound fantastic.
How did you guys meet and decide to perform together?
Yeah, I was working in a coffee shop right after college,
and Nick's mom, lo and behold,
came and invited me to go hang out with Nick,
and we just decided to start making music together.
So it's been history after that.
Well, good luck tonight, guys.

Make me belly laugh next time. America voted for you.

between feet and meters.
Yes!
Yes, thank you so much.
Thank you.
Sofia, talk to Young and Strange.
I mean, they were amazing.
It was one of my favorite acts tonight,

Good luck!
Everything on that stage and it paid off. Good for you!
Howie, what advice do you have for Travis?
I don't think Travis needs my advice.
I think you need to do you.
I think you know what you do, and that's why you're here,
and that's why you're moving on.
Keep doing you.
I cannot wait to watch the semifinals.
The finals.
What a night!
Sophia's Golden Buzzer has put Unitary through to the final,
and now we know the 12 acts
will go head-to-head next week, also trying to make that final.
That is next Tuesday at 8, you got to be here!
I am Terry Crews, goodnight America!
