Susan Boyle was one of Simon Cowell's favorite auditions.

There’s only one thing scarier than performing on live television in front of thousands of people: performing in front of the notoriously critical Simon Cowell! However, it’s a fear that contestants have had to face when auditioning for “America’s Got Talent” or “Britain’s Got Talent.” Although Simon may be tough to impress, a gifted few have stood out to him throughout his time as a judge. The “AGT” YouTube channel has been sharing some of the acts that put a smile on his face!

From unforgettable vocalists to dancers who beat all the odds, here are some of the talented people that got the elusive Simon Cowell stamp of approval.

1. Calum Scott’s moving cover of “Dancing On My Own” received a standing ovation from the judges – and, yes, that includes Simon.

2. Zurcaroh’s acrobatic dance routine not only defied gravity, but won Simon over.

3. Musa Motha’s inspiring dance act made creative use of his disability.

4. We all remember this one! Susan Boyle’s voice made the world fall in love.
