It’s been so much fun to see Mel B back on the America’s Got Talent judging panel since Heidi Klum left. She’s not afraid to stand out, as several times so far on the episodes airing on the 2026 TV schedule, Mel B's been the group’s lone “no” vote. On the flip side, it’s amusing to see which acts grab her attention, and that was definitely singer Isaac Atkins on Night 3 of Season 21's auditions. While it was an absolute trip to see her fawn over the Army sergeant, I don’t agree with her using the Golden Buzzer.
Isaac Atkins is a 23-year-old member of the U.S. Army who has found a bit of TikTok fame as the “Singing Soldier.” Atkins posts videos of himself singing as he drives to and from his daily tasks, and as of this writing, he’s got more than 87,000 followers. His Army brothers encouraged him to audition for AGT, and Mel B was certainly glad they did. Check out his performance below:
