AGT Season 20 (June 3) – Girish and the Chronicles Audition Reimagined
The NBC series is deep into its 20th season, and the auditions are generating major buzz! A standout moment came when Girish and the Chronicles, the rock band hailing from Sikkim, India, took the stage on June 3. Their audition looked and sounded like an electrifying 1980s rock show—so much so that judges Mel B, Howie Mandel, Sofía Vergara, and Simon Cowell couldn’t help but rise to their feet and join in the chorus during their rendition of Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain.”
Mel B was visibly moved, declaring, “I don’t know what it is about you, but I think you’re one of my favorite acts so far this season!” Cowell was equally floored: “You can’t fake the reaction behind this…
Their performance soon went viral online. One fan noted, “The fact that they did an Adele song made it cool,” while another gushed, “These guys are fantastic… just as good as any mainstream rock band.” Others proclaimed, “The world is not ready for GATC!!!! Rock and Roll’s here to STAY”
✅ Did they get through? Absolutely. The band received unanimous “yes” votes and earned their spot to move forward in the competition. Now, audiences are on the edge of their seats to see where their rock anthem energy will take them next in Season 20.
