Detroit Youth Choir makes it to next round of 'America's Got Talent'

Semifinals, here they come. 

The Detroit Youth Choir moved on to the next round of competition Wednesday night on "America's Got Talent," following its performance Tuesday night of Carrie Underwood and Ludacris' "The Champion." 

"DEEE-TROIT!" choir director Anthony White shouted when given the news, and then started a "Detroit!" chant with show host Terry Crews. The studio audience joined in on the refrain. 

"Every time you guys come on stage, it's just amazing," "AGT" judge Simon Cowell told the group. "I could not be happier for you."
