Jokgu the Chicken Surprises Judges with Patriotic Keyboard Performance

In one of the most unexpected and entertaining moments in America’s Got Talent history, a chicken named Jokgu wowed the judges and audience by performing a patriotic song—on a keyboard.
During the 2017 season, Jokgu, part of a group known as the Flockstars, confidently took the stage and began pecking out the melody of “America the Beautiful.” With a small keyboard set up just for her, the feathered performer delivered each note with surprising precision, earning gasps of disbelief followed by laughter, cheers, and applause.
What started as lighthearted curiosity quickly turned into pure admiration. The audience was charmed, the judges were stunned, and clips of Jokgu’s performance quickly went viral online. While talent shows often feature a wide range of acts, it’s not every day you see a patriotic solo from a chicken.
Behind the fun and novelty, the performance also highlighted the incredible patience and training that went into preparing Jokgu for the spotlight. The result was a moment of joy, lightness, and national pride that brought smiles to viewers across the country.
Jokgu’s act stands out not only for its uniqueness but for the way it reminded us that talent—and entertainment—can come from the most unexpected places.
