The Ndlovu Youth Choir have made it through to the "America's Got Talent" grand finale taking place on September 17

The Limpopo-based choir put a uniquely South African spin on "Higher Love" by Whitney Houston and Kygo's "Steve Winwood" on America's Got Talent. 

Yet again, the choir wowed the American audience with their epic dance moves, vibrant costumes and their song arrangement. 

This time around they took a jab at "Higher Love" by Whitney Houston and Kygo's "Steve Winwood" which saw them getting a standing ovation from the live studio audience and judges. 

Watch the Ndlovu Youth Choir's performance of "Higher Love" below: 

The grand finale takes place on September 17. 

The results will then be announced with one act being crowned as the winner walking away with a $1 million cash which would mean if the choir comes out victorious they could bring home R14 million. 

The second round of semi-finals is set to take on Tuesday, September 10. 

The choir have been on a roll since their audition and received much praise from the judges in the quarter-finals.
