Can you talk to us about the opportunity
that's waiting for these contestants backstage?

Off the back of this show, whether you're on tour
with Beyoncé, whether you've got your own show in Vegas,
two minutes genuinely will and can change your life.
[cheers and applause]

Are you ready?

- Hi. - How are you?
- I'm good. How are you guys?
- Very good.
I just met you briefly backstage,
and now I want to know everything about you.
- Okay. My name is Lambros Garcia.
I am 10 years old.
I live in Glen Head, New York, and I am a dancer.
[cheers and applause]
- What got you into dancing?
- Well, my mom used to put me in karate classes,
and I heard the music through the wall
'cause there was a dance studio right next.
[laughter]
And I used to dance to the beat,
and my sensei would get annoyed.
[laughter]
So then my mom saw a passion in me that I had
for dance.
And I am currently at MOSSA Dance Academy now.
- Amazing!
And you know there's $1 million on the line here, right?
- Yes. - What would you do with that?
- I would like to have a dog.
- Aw. - Oh.
- Okay, the stage is yours.
I wish you good luck.
- Thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]
- * Always remember who you are *
* If you want to be the girl in the picture *
* Well, you've got to meet her *
* Hello *
* Open up your eyes *
* It's time you realize *
* Now is the time to shine *
* Baby, you're above *
* And everybody knows you got it *
* And it grows from your soul *
- Wow!
- * Sugar, you're a star even with your flaws *
* You're unstoppable, hey *
* Can't nobody bring you down when you're hot *
* All you've got to do is love yourself *
* And if you just believe that really all you need *
- He's good.
- * You don't need nobody else *
* Hey *
* Love yourself, love yourself *
* Let me hear you say revolution *
* The category is revolution *
* Come on, bring it, bring it *
* Revolution *
* Come on, revolution *
* Revolution *
* We've got a revolution *
* Can't nobody bring you down when you're hot *
* All you've got to do is love yourself *
* If you just believe you're the one you need *
* You won't need nobody *
* Oh *
* Clap if you love yourself *
* Let's go, go, go *

- Tell us why you are so emotional.
- I get a little bit bullied at school,
and this solo really meant a lot to me.
- Aw!
[cheers and applause]
Well, you had this entire room on their feet,
and they're not standing up here for nothing.
- Thank you.
- What did you think, Howie?
- You danced with such joy, with such precision.
You've got to be strong.
You've got to be an athlete.
You've got to be amazing.
And performing the way you just did
is the ultimate, "Na, na-na, na-na."
- Exactly.
- A lot of people don't really know
what it is to be a male dancer,
and I love it so much,
and I'm never gonna let anyone stop that.
- Exactly. - Don't let anyone stop you!
- Exactly. Don't let anyone stop you.
- * All of the dark clouds *
- And--and tell them!
You tell them!
- They bully you because they envy you.
- Yes.
- They can't do what you can do.
They're afraid of you, so don't pay attention to them.
That was spectacular.
- Thank you.
- Simon.
- Well, you have natural stage presence,
and that's something you can't fake.
Now, you're gonna go back to school
with your head held high saying, I did this,
and I was brave enough to do this,
and I was amazing, because you were amazing.
And if they start again, those bullies, you tell them,
me, Terry, and Howie-- actually,
I'm gonna bring Heidi and Sofía as well...
- Exactly.
- We're coming down to sort them out.
[laughter]
- Okay, let's judge for Lambros.
I'm gonna start it off with a big yes!
- [laughs] - Howie?
- Two yeses.
- Sofía?
- Three yeses.
- Simon?
- You don't have three yeses.
You have about four and a half thousand yeses.
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]

Thank you so much for being here.
Coming up...

- That's the most dangerous act I've ever seen.

I could show her how to do this.
Simon!
Simon! Dinner!

[buzzer blaring]
Simon!
[buzzer blares]
- I don't think the buzzer sound is loud enough.

- It was amazing!
- Thank you.
- We're all mesmerized by you.
Your voice--you're an angel!
- Thank you so much.

A lot of people don't believe in angels,
and I think one just landed on our stage.
- Thank you!
- You're a superstar!
[cheers and applause]
- Yes!
- You sounded so beautiful tonight,
especially the very first song that you sang,
like how you switched from your chest voice
to your head voice.

- Oh, wow!
That's even more amazing! - Beautiful.

You're 17.
You write songs.
You've got an amazing, distinctive voice.

You have a kind of a glow about you.
[cheers and applause]
And tell me about--
you're waiting for something at your school?

However...

- Now everybody, are you ready to get into a magic mood?
[cheers and applause]
- Hello!
- Everybody is gonna love that.
- This is a true story about my wife.
* *
both: Ahh!
[soft music]
- Do you want to do a card trick?
- Sure.
- Hello.
What is your name?
- My name is Mandy Muden.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you, you handsome devil.
- All right. - Look at you!
- Oh, no, that-- [laughter]
What are you gonna do here on "AGT"?
- I'll be doing a bit of magic. - Oh.
- God, it must be like, getting on for 25,
30 years ago, I started doing magic.
I mean, it really hasn't been easy being a female magician.
Sometimes you think, I have to make this work,
so I'm damn well gonna make it work.
* *
[buzzer blaring]
I'm very scared about being on "America's Got Talent"
because it's the biggest show on the planet.
I'm worried if they're gonna get my British-ness,
because I am very British.
- What would happen if you win this whole show?
- Do you know what? I haven't even really
dared think about it, because everyone's, like,
amazing, and I'm-- I feel as though, you know,
I'm not worthy to be in the same room.
* *
Oh, I'd love to perform in the "AGT" show in Las Vegas.
That would be, I mean, absolutely beyond
my wildest dreams, to be honest.
[cheers and applause]
I have everything crossed.
[laughs]
* *
- Good evening.
- Hello.
- Who are you, beautiful girl?
- I'm Mandy, Mandy Muden.
I'm from London in the United Kingdom.
- How old are you?
- I'm 29.
- Oh.
- It's been a rough couple of years,
do you know what I mean?
[laughter]
- And what do you do, Mandy?
- Um, I do magic.
- Ooh!
- Why "AGT" now?
- Well, being British,
as Simon will back me up to say,
I love America.
[cheers and applause]
Also, I owe money and had to get out of the UK.
[laughter]
- What are you gonna do with $1 million if you win?
- What'd I do? I'd probably spend it on men.
- On men?
[laughter]
Okay. We're ready for you.
We want to see your magic.
- Okay, fantastic.
[cheers and applause]
Right, everybody.
Are you ready to get into a magic mood?
[cheers and applause]
Okay, "America's Got Talent," look at this.
Four strangers, ready to judge me.
It's like one of those parties
where you throw the car keys into the fishbowl.
[laughter]
Heidi, would you just-- - Yes?
- I've got a bag here... - Yes.
- Full of letters.
Could you just reach in and get a few out, just to make sure...
- A few?
- That they're all different.
It's very difficult with the gloves on, isn't it?
Have you just committed a crime and hoping to get away with it?
[laughter]
- They all look different. - Lovely.
Shove that back.
I'll give the bag a bit of a shake.
Hi, Howie. - Hi!
- I want you just to take a letter.
- One? - Don't look at it.
- Okay. - Okay, fantastic.
Could you take one as well?
- Take it out?
- Yes, please, and don't look at it.
We'll come back to that later.
- Okay, Sofía, could you do the same?
[light mysterious music]
Okay, fantastic.
Now, Simon, I'm gonna riffle through my book.
Could you just stick anything in you like?
[laughter]
- Finger?
- Yes, a finger would be lovely, Simon.
- [laughing] Okay.
- Okay, brilliant.
Now Simon, could you look at the page number?
- Yes.
- And the first word on the page, Simon?
- Got it. - Okay.
And could you write them down and remember them?
- Yes, I can. - Okay. Fantastic.
I'm just gonna pop back up to the stage.
Feel free to check me out, Simon.
Okay.
[laughter]
Right. Here we go.
Now, Howie... - Yeah.
- I want you to think of any word at all
in the English language.
- Okay.
- Now, would you be impressed
if the word you were thinking of
was written on a piece of paper in the bag in front of you?
- Yes, more than impressed.
- Please open the bag.
* *
- [chuckles] It's a dictionary.
[laughter] - Unbelievable.
[cheers and applause]
- Heidi and Sofía, open your packages.
Okay, Heidi, what lovely love story do you have, Heidi?
- Mine says, "Fifty Shades of Grey."
- Oh!
Now, Simon, what page were you on?
- 70.
- Okay, Heidi.
Could you turn to page 70?
I'm just gonna go into a trance
and read your mind.
Here we go.
[laughter]
Page 70.
Does your word begin with an F?
- Yes. - Right, lovely.
Now, are you familiar with this word?
- Yes, I'm familiar with the word.
- Okay.
Now, the spirits are telling me that this word ends
in I-N-G, okay?
Have you done this word today?
[laughter]
- Yes.
- That's my girl.
Fantastic!
Is your word, by any chance,
is it fantasizing?
- Yes, it is!
[cheers and applause]
- Okay.
Now, Sofía, could you go to 70?
Could you look at the last word on page 70?
- Wait. I don't have my glasses.
70.
- Okay.
Howie, you've got a dictionary there.
- Yes. - Could you go to page 330?
- Okay.
And could you go down seven word entries?
- Seven words-- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
- What's the word?
- Looney.
- No!
[cheers and applause]
It's looney!
[cheers and applause]
- Now, Simon, you were thinking of a word.
You wrote it down.
What was your word?
- Eat. - Eat.
Howie, you picked a letter. - Yes, I did.
- Could you hold your letter up and shout it out?
- It's an E.
- An E. What do you have there, Heidi?
- I have an A.
- And what do you have, Sofía?
- A "T."
- Unbelievable!
[cheers and applause]
Thank you so much!
[soft music]
- Bravo!
- Oh, wow.
Thank you so much.
Thank you!
- Mandy, that was quite a surprise.
- Oh.
- You're so funny,
and I didn't expect to have so much fun.
[laughter]
Howie?
- You're a very good magician.
You're funny. I love you.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
You are the epitome of somebody that deserves
to have their own show.
I would go see just you in Las Vegas.
- Oh, thank you.
- * Hold tight *
- Oh, wow. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Heidi?
- I think that you are adorable.
And can I keep this?
- Yes, of course!
- Simon?
- We saw everything, didn't we?
I mean, you were mind-reading.
You were funny.
You're very naughty.
[laughter]
I really liked you.
- Oh, thank you. - Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- So we're gonna vote.
Heidi?
- It's a yes from me for Mandy.
- Oh, thank you so much.
- Simon?

That's amazing.

- Thank you.
- * Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight *
* I'll be keeping your head up *
- She is really good.
- I'm absolutely in shock.
That was amazing.
I couldn't believe what Howie said.
It was like, he's such a hero of mine.
I was like, oh, my God.
- She is great. - Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Celebrate!
- Thank you!

[buzzer blares]
Ah!

in my future college.

Live in one side of the condo, and rent out the other side.

- Yay! - [laughing]
That's great.
- All right, Zoe. Ready for you on stage.
Just this way.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]
Okay.
We have an adjudicator.
I am standing here with Michael from Guinness World Records.

So this is an official Guinness World Records attempt

and they have to be split in at least two pieces.
- Of course.
- Oh.
Wow.
- Now a reminder: Mohammed is the current
Guinness World Records title holder with 148 coconuts.
So he's attempting to break his own record today.
- Well, good luck to you.
The stage is yours.
[cheers and applause]
[suspenseful music]
- All right. We're gonna do a countdown.

[soft music]
- Okay.
Michael the adjudicator will be counting right now.
The coconuts that are not split in two will not count.
They have to be totally split.
- Mohammed, how are you feeling?
- Oh.
- Do you need a water or something?
You need coconut water is what you need.
[laughter]
* *
- Okay!
The adjudicator has made his final count.
Sir?
- The mark to beat was 148.
- And?
- Today, Mohammed, you had...
23.

[buzzer blares]
- Oh!

- They were not quite ripe.
[laughter]
- It's a no.
- Oh, no problem.
- Give it up for the effort, for Mohammed.
- * If you like piña coladas *
- I'm sorry it didn't work out.
[speaking German]

* The sun--*
- So many people.
So many different acts.
- * My head is on fire *
* All the possibilities get me feeling kind of free *
* And my insecurities got me down on my knees *
- If you don't put your foot forward,
you're never gonna go nowhere.
- Yep. - * Gotta spread my wings *
- We're about to get on there any minute now.
I'm just so-- I'm nervous right now.
- Have a great show, everybody.
- Oh, my gosh!
You look beautiful.
- Who here thinks they're gonna win the million dollars?
- There you go. - Feeling good?
- Feels good. - Awesome.
- Yeah?
Okay.
- Uh, sing and play.
- You sing and play?
- Yeah.
The way I got into music is my dad.
When I was a kid, I would ride with him in the car,
and we'd just listen to country music together.
We just sang the songs together,
and it was just--we both just loved it so much.
We definitely had a connection through music,
and I know it was-- it just meant a lot to him.
We were so poor, but he loved me so much.
He bought me a little guitar when I was a kid.
He always wanted me to play growing up,
and I was just too rambunctious, was into sports,
and just didn't take the time to learn
and didn't want to learn.
[somber music]
When I was 10 years old, I lost my dad
in a drunk driving incident.
It was kind of a freak accident.
My--it was a real small town.
My grandfather just happened to be driving in his truck
coming one way on a highway, and my dad
and my grandmother-in-law were in his van, work van,
coming back from a job.
And they were about to cross each other.
And the drunk driver hit my grandfather from behind
and sent him into my dad's lane.
* *
My grandfather, grandmother-in-law, and my dad
all lost their lives, so...
* *
I remember getting woken up in the middle of the night.
Some of the family were there, and they said,
"Mitchell, I'm so sorry, but you know,
your dad was killed tonight."
And you know, I lost it.
I just started screaming "no"
and just sat there for hours waiting to wake up.
* *
The next few years were definitely
really challenging for me.
After high school, I was sitting there one day,
and I just wanted to connect with my dad.
- * Take this heart of gold *
- I decided, today I'm gonna learn to play guitar.
It was the only thing he ever really ever asked me to do.
- * I'll come around *
- I felt like I was kind of making him proud.
- * I'll come around *
- Started playing shows on the weekends,
playing for tips,
and paying my bills doing that.
And this performance, I'm feeling all the things,
you know-- I'm excited, nervous.
I'm under no illusion that I deserve to be here
any more than a lot of other people.
I'm just excited to get out there and just play music.
- Time to go on out there. - All right.
- All right, brother.
[cheers and applause]
- Hello.
Tell us who you are, your age,
and where you're from, please.
- My name is Mitch Rossell.
I'm 35.
I'm from East Tennessee.
[cheers and applause]
- Nice to meet you, Mitch.
All right.
I don't think I have to guess around too much,
but you're going to sing some country music for us today.
Yes, or yes? - I think I'm--yeah.
I'm gonna sing some country music.
Yeah.
- Well, I want to ask a question.
What is your ultimate dream?
- The ultimate dream is just to reach my potential,
and just hopefully, to be open and--
or playing on stadiums or something.
Yeah. That'd be amazing.
- Can we see your eyes? We can't see your eyes.
- Oh, there you are. - There we go.
Maybe move your hat back a little, yeah.
There you go.
- What song will you be singing for us?
- I'm gonna sing an original song.
Definitely the most personal thing I've ever written.
- All right. I can't wait to hear this.
The stage is yours. Good luck.
- Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Go ahead and strum your guitar.
[guitar strumming]
- All right.
This is a true story about my life.
[soft music]
* *
* Every other weekend was all I got to see him *
* Sometimes he'd come get me *
* And we'd hit Tellico Creek *
* *
* We'd take that boat and drop it *
* Grab the rods and reels and hop in *
* He'd open up that tackle box, and he'd open up to me *
* And he'd say, son *
* I hope you know how much I love you *
* And when you're not with me *
* I'm always thinking of you *
* You're the drive inside my heart *
* The reason I reach for the stars above *
* He said, my world revolves around you *
* That's why I call you son *
[cheers and applause]
* Well, I was gonna go live with him *
* But I guess God had other plans *
* 'Cause on a two-lane road on a Tuesday night *
* A drunk driver crossed that center line *
* They said my dad didn't feel a thing *
* Well, I wish I could say the same *
* 'Cause losing him, it left me cold *
* I was mad at God, couldn't let it go *
* *
* And then one blue sky morning *
* A brown-eyed baby boy was born *
* And I looked outside and it started pouring *
* I swear they were Daddy's tears *
* My old man, I could almost see him *
* In that little face with a new heart beating *
* The pain in mine started leaving *
* When I whispered in his ear *
* Son, I hope you know how much I love you *
* Now it all makes sense *
* This place in life I've come to *
* You fill the hole inside my heart *
* You're why I reach for the stars above *
* My world revolves around you *
* That's why I call you son *
[cheers and applause]
[soft music]
* *
- * Don't know why *
* God always takes the good ones first *
- Yes!
* *
- * And man, I've tried *
- You wrote a beautiful song there.
- * To be strong and carry on, but damn, this hurts *
- I feel like everyone in this room
was feeling everything that you were singing.
- * And I just wish that I could talk to you again *
* Somehow, some way *
- The words and the emotion that you sing with,
you know, as a father also, and I have three kids,
and the world revolves around you.
What a great sentiment.
What great, beautiful words of such simple brilliance.
- I wrote for years and never wrote a song about it,
and I had a son of my own, and I think that really
allowed me to finally write about it
and bring it full circle.
- You know, I predict that tomorrow when people are
watching this on TV tonight, I bet you
that's number one downloaded country song.
- Wow. - I bet you--
- That'd be nice.
- Yeah, I bet you're right.
- Absolutely. I agree.
- That was spectacular.
Your voice is amazing.
The song was amazing.
- Thank you.
- I loved every part of that.
I love your voice.
I love the song.
It was a compliment, the fact that you
could not hear a pin drop during the entire performance.
And it was sincere.
I really, really think people are gonna
connect with you, the song.
This was a great audition.
Brilliant.
[cheers and applause]
- * You just hold on to those moments *
* And the memories we shared *
- All right.
Let's judge.
- * We're both headed for the same place anyway *
- A million, billion percent yes.
- * I just beat you there *
- Thank you.
- Sofía?
- Yes!
- Third yes for me.
- Four yeses, buddy!
[cheers and applause]
- * I'm all right *
* I'm better than you'll know *
* And this life *
- That's a star.
- * Can be a short ride *
* So don't waste it on sorrow *
* *
- I can't wait to play that song for my son.
- Gosh, man, that means so much to me.
- I'm trying to tell you, dude.
- Thank you.
- You hit every heart in this room.
- Thank you. - We are all moved.
- * So I'm gonna spend *
- Hey, y'all!
- * When I think of you *
- Daddy got four yeses.
- * Like I know you'd want me to *
- Is that a sloppy Joe?
Y'all ate sloppy Joes without me?
Come on, now.
- * And I know you're watching over me *
* In everything I do *
- * All my life, I've waited *
- Who'd ever dream?
- "America's Got Talent." - Yep.
- We're here, Mom. We made it.
- * All my life, I've waited *
- My name is Ray Wold.
I'm 64 years old.
- My name is Corinne.
I'm 85 years old.
- You guys perform together?
- No, this is our first time performing together.
You know, I wanted to be on "America's Got Talent,"
and every time I contacted somebody to help me out,
they would not do it.
And that's when my mom said, "I'll do it.
I'll do it."
She is just the best mom, you know?
And for my whole life, she's been there.
- What did you do with your...
I thought you'd dress up for "America's Got Talent."
- All right. Here we go.
[cheers and applause]
- * All my life, I've waited *
* I got to keep moving on *
- [speaking indistinctly]
[cheers and applause]
- How cute are you two?
- Hello. - Hello.
How are you? - Really well.
Tell us who you are, please.
- My name is Corinne Wold.
W-O-L-D.
- Hello.
- And I'm 85 years old.
- Oh, you look amazing.
[cheers and applause]
And this is?
- I'm Ray, Ray Wold.
- Ray, okay.
And are you married?
- No, no. This is my mom.
[laughter] - Oh.
- What?
- Okay.
- He's my number three son out of eight kids.
- What? - Wow.
- Whoa. - Oh, wow.
- Okay. Well, this is fascinating.
Why did you decide to come on "America's Got Talent"?
- We want her grandkids and her great, great grandkids
and my son to look at us and say,
hey, there's a lot to life.
Go for it.
Go for the gusto in life.
[cheers and applause]
- If you wanted to spend time with your mom,
why didn't you just go to the mall?
[laughter]
- Okay.
The stage is yours.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
Just allow us to go get ready.
We'll be right back. - All right.
Okay. - See you in a minute.
[cheers and applause]
- How cute.
[indistinct chatter]
- Here we go. Here we go.
Three, two...
[upbeat music]
- There she is.
* *
- God.
[alarm blaring]
[crowd screaming]
- Whoa!
[dramatic music]
* *
- He's throwing knives at his mom!
* *
- Oh, my God!
* *
- He's still on fire!
* *
- Oh!
* *
[buzzer blaring]
* *
- Oh!
[cheers and applause]
* *
- That was spectacular!
- * Ooh, you make me live *
- Oh. Hat's on fire.
- * Whatever this world can give to me *
* Ooh, you make me live now, honey *
* Ooh, you make me live *
- * Oh, you're the best friend *
- This was such a hot mess.
I loved it.
I love it.
- Thank you, Heidi.
- I don't know what happened during the show.
I don't know what is happening now.
I think it's great that you guys are family.
That is your mom.
She's the star of the show.
- * Ooh, you make me live *
- I'm all for family, but I think
if you're gonna spend quality time with your mother,
you shouldn't throw knives at her.
It's just the way I was brought up.
[laughter]
- Let me tell you, I loved this act.
How could you not?
- Thank you, Simon.
Thank you!
- I mean, I've never seen anyone throw flaming knives
at their mum before.
This shows you are never too old to chase your dreams.
- There you go!
- That's what it's all about.
All right. We have to vote.
Howie?
- Well, because I love you and for your own safety,
I'm gonna say no.
- Oh, no. [crowd booing]
- Well, I really want to see you again and again and again.
It's a yes for me.
- * Ooh, you make me live *
- Of course, yes.
* *
- Do we want to see a son throwing flaming daggers
at their mother again?
The answer is yes, we do.
Three yeses.
[cheers and applause]
- * Ooh, you make me live *
* *
- Take her with you!
- Take her. - Take her.
- Go, go!
- Come on. I'll look after you.
Come here.
- I was so afraid of you.
- I was afraid of you.
It was incredible.
* *
- No, you did it!
You did it. Thank you.
- She's the best mom in the world.
- Yes. Thank you.
Thank you. Great job.
Thank you.
Thank you for not hurting your mama.
- Oh, I would never do that.
[laughter]
Never, never, Terry.
* *
- We have to say good night.
We love you. Stay safe, everyone.
[cheers and applause]
