The Clairvoyants: Mentalists Control the AGT Judges" Minds - America"s Got Talent 2016

Michael Phelps is from America (born in Baltimore, hon), and he has talent (proof: 23 Olympic gold medals in swimming).

So it"s a fitting arrangement for Phelps to appear on "America"s Got Talent," NBC"s celebration/competition of people with talents ranging from typical to taping yourfaceand using oven mitts as puppets that sing a duet of "Endless Love."

While he likely won"t be displaying his aquatic aptitude, Phelps will appear on tonight"sresults show, host Nick Cannon announced duringTuesday"s airing.

If Cannon"s ostentatious footwear distracted you from the words coming out of his mouth, he said "Yup, Michael Phelps will be in the building. Don"t miss it."

Set your DVR for 9-10 p.m. Or flip over during the late innings of tonight"s Orioles-Nationals game. It"s not like MASN is going to show Mark Trumbo hitting a home run with electrical tape over his mouth.

13-year-old opera singer wows on "America"s Got Talent"

Laura Bretan: 13-Year-Old Opera Singer Gets the Golden Buzzer - America"s Got Talent 2016 Auditions
Story highlights

• Simon Cowell said he"s never heard anything like the performance
• Mel B. used her golden buzzer on the teen

Thirteen-year-old opera singer Laura Bretan wowed audiences in Tuesday"s premiere with the song "Nessun Dorma." Her performance was so mesmerizing, it earned her high praise from the toughest critic himself: Simon Cowell.

"I have never heard anything like that in all the years I"ve been doing this show," he told her. "And what made it even better is the fact that you are such a sweet person, so humble, not even aware of how amazing you are."

Fellow judge Mel B. took it a step further, using the golden buzzer to send Bretan straight to the live shows. It"s not a choice to make lightly -- each judge can only do that once per season.

"You literally made all my hairs stand up on end," the former Spice Girl said.

Bretan credited her talent to her mom, who stood backstage with host Nick Cannon and gave an encouraging thumbs-up when Bretan looked over before she sang.

"This has been a dream come true," Bretan told Cannon. "I"ve been waiting for this for so long."
