DO. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> WE ARE 30 SECONDS TO AIR.
>> READY SOUND. >> READY CAMERAS.
>> ONE ACT WINNING $1 MILLION AND A STARRING ROLE AT LUXOR LAS
VEGAS. >> HERE WE GO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Announcer: COMING TO YOU

WE ARE BACK, AND WE ARE LIVE. LISTEN TO THIS, AMERICA.
THIS IS THE SOUND OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST TALENT SHOW, LIVE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] OH, YES.
ALL RIGHT. NOW SETTLE DOWN, PEOPLE.
WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN INCREDIBLE TALENT THIS SEASON.
THE BEST ACTS HAVE AUDITIONED AND HAVE MADE IT THROUGH TO THE
LIVE SHOWS. BUT NOW THEY HAVE A HUGE
MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB, AND IT'S GETTING TOUGHER AND TOUGHER
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO KEEP RAISING THEIR GAME.
ONLY ONE OF THEM WILL MAKE IT TO THE TOP AND WIN A STARRING ROLE
IN A SPECTACULAR SHOW AT LUXOR LAS VEGAS, AND THEY'LL WALK AWAY
WITH $1 MILLION. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
TONIGHT 11 ACTS ARE PERFORMING LIVE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
BUT CHECK THIS. ONLY TWO WILL SURVIVE THIS WEEK
AND MAKE IT TO THOSE FINALS. ALL OF THE ACTS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
BY THE JUDGES, BUT FROM NOW ON, THEY ARE GOING TO BE COMMENTING,
ADVISING, MAYBE CRITICIZING, BUT NOT VOTING.
THAT IS ALL DOWN TO YOU AT HOME. YOU ARE THE JUDGES.
AND SPEAKING OF JUDGES, GIVE IT FOR HOWIE MANDEL.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] HEIDI KLUM.

VOTING. HOW DO YOU FEEL AS WE BEGIN
THESE LIVE SHOWS AND THE ROAD TO THE FINALS?
>> Simon: PERSONALLY, I LIKE THE LIVE SHOWS BEST BECAUSE WE HAVE
NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. LIKE, NOTHING.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO'S ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.
WE COULD HAVE TAPED THE SHOW, LIKE TWO HOURS AGO.
BEING LIVE MAKES A HUGE, HUGE DIFFERENCE.
>> Sofia: YES! >> Simon: THE MILLION DOLLARS IS
COOL. I THINK WINNING THE SHOW IS
MUCH, MUCH MORE IMPORTANT NOW. I'VE SEEN WHAT IT CAN DO FOR
PEOPLE'S CAREERS. IF YOU DO WELL ON THIS SHOW, IN
MY OPINION YOU DO WELL IN THE REAL WORLD.
>> Terry: I AGREE 100%. MY PECKS AGREE WITH YOU, SIMON.
>> Heidi: MY PECKS TOO. >> Terry: GUYS, ARE YOU READY TO
DO THIS? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
TO GET US STARTED, HERE'S A BAND WHO STUNNED EVERYBODY WITH THEIR
COVER OF A BILLIE EILISH SONG. TONIGHT THEY'RE PUSHING THE
ENVELOPE AND PERFORMING A SONG OF THEIR OWN.
WILL IT GET THEM TO THE FINALS? HERE'S TRUE VILLAINS.
>> Simon: WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO COME ON THE SHOW?
>> MY MOTHER HAS BEEN A HUGE FAN OF THE SHOW.
HER NAME IS JOAN. >> Simon: I'M SURE MY FRIENDS
WENT, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? >> WE'RE BASED OUT OF NASHVILLE.
IT'S A TOWN RUN BY THE COUNTRY MUSIC INDUSTRY.
BEING A ROCK BAND, WE WERE THE OUT CASTS, THE TRUE VILLAINS OF
NASHVILLE. >> AFTER OUR AUDITION AIRED, MY
PHONE WAS BLOWING UP WITH TEXT MESSAGES AND CALLS AND SOCIAL
MEDIA. >> THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT
FOLLOWED US AROUND EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA.
THANKS TO "AGT" THE REACH IS GROWING.
>> ROUND TWO, HERE WE GO. >> THE BAR HAS BEEN RAISED.
WE KNOW THERE'S TONS OF COMPETITION, BUT WE'RE HERE TO
DOMINATE. WE'RE AIDING ELEMENTS TO BRING
IT HOME. >> IT'S A BIG RISK TO BRING AN
ORIGINAL. >> WE'RE TRYING TO BE AN
ORIGINAL BAND, NOT A COVER BAND. >> I WANT TO MAKE IT TO THE
FINALS. I LIKE TO WIN.
I HATE TO LOSE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

WOW. HOWIE?
>> Howie: YOU KNOW, TRULY THIS IS MY FAVORITE KIND OF MUSIC.
IT'S MY FAVORITE KIND OF MUSIC. IT'S NOT THAT POPULAR TODAY.
I THOUGHT YOU MADE A GOOD CHOICE ON THE AUDITION TO COVER
SOMETHING. AMERICA IS GOING TO CHOOSE.
ONLY TWO CAN GO THROUGH. IT'S A GAMBLE TO DO THE
ORIGINAL. I LOVE THE ORIGINAL.
YOUR VOICE IS LIKE THE MOST ORIGINAL VOICE.
IT'S LIKE THE BEST ROCK CONCERT COMING FROM A HELIUM FACTORY.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: HEIDI?
>> Heidi: I LOVED IT. IT BRINGS ME BACK TO MY 20s.
WE WERE LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC IN MY 20s, LIKE AXLE RHODES.
THE BAND WAS SUPER TIGHT. TWO THUMBS UP.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I LOVE YOU GUYS.
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN THE AUDITION.
IT'S AMAZING. I'M SO HAPPY YOU GUYS BROUGHT
THIS ENERGY. WE NEED IT TO START LIKE THIS
TONIGHT. IT'S UP TO AMERICA.
I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE YOU.
>> Terry: SIMON, DID YOU LIKE THIS?
>> Simon: I LOVED YOUR AUDITION BECAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING REALLY
DIFFERENT WITH A SONG WE KNOW REALLY WELL.
THERE'S NO QUESTION YOU CAN PLAY REALLY WELL.
YOU CAN SING REALLY WELL. I HATED THE SONG.
I DID. >> Heidi: NO.
>> Simon: I REALLY DID. IT REMINDED ME OF A SONG --
>> Sofia: AMERICA IS GOING TO DECIDE.
>> Terry: THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
TRUE VILLAINS, HOW CAN YOU SING AND BREATHE FIRE AT THE SAME
TIME? >> I LEARNED IN CLOWN COLLEGE.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GUYS.

>> Heidi: I JUST FELL IN LOVE.
>> Terry: UP NEXT IS A 10-YEAR-OLD WHO'S FACED A LOT OF
BULLYING BECAUSE HE LOVED DANCE. BUT AFTER HIS INCREDIBLE
AUDITION FOR "AGT," HIS WHOLE WORLD CHANGED.
FROM NEW YORK, HE'S LAMBROS GARCIA.
>> EVER SINCE "AGT," I AM LAMBROS 2.0.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I'M NEVER GOING TO LET ANYONE
STOP THAT. >> Simon: YOU'RE GOING TO BACK
TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH.
>> I GAINED SO MUCH CONFIDENCE THE FIRST DAY I CAME BACK TO
SCHOOL. MY BUS WAS CHEERING MY NAME.
THE CROWD WAS LIKE OH! I WAS FINALLY -- I HAVE THE
CONFIDENCE TO SHOW WHO I AM. MY PERFORMANCE, THIS IS A CHANCE
FOR ME TO SHOW A NEW SIDE OF ME. I'LL BE DOING "VOGUE DOME."
I WANTED TO DO THIS SONG BECAUSE IT HAS A GOOD BEAT TO IT AND IT
BRINGS SO MUCH ENERGY AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SHOW.
I WANT TO SHOW ME. MY BIG DREAM IS TO PERFORM ON
BROADWAY. THIS IS MY CHANCE, BUT ONLY TWO
PEOPLE THIS ROUND ARE GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE FINALS.
I FEEL NERVOUS, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO BRING LAMBROS 2.0.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **

>> TOTALLY. >> Simon: WE ALL LOVED YOU
BECAUSE YOU DEFINE THE WORD PERSONALITY.
>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: I ADORE YOU.
BRILLIANT. GREAT JOB.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: YOU KNOW, LAMBROS, MORE THAN WHAT YOU DO, YOU'RE
THE SAME LITTLE BOY WHO WAS BULLIED AND HAD THIS TOUGH TIME.
THEN YOU SHOWED THE WORLD WHO YOU ARE.
THIS IS NOT LAMBROS 2.0. YOU CHANGED THE WORLD.
IT'S THE WORLD 2.0. >> Terry: LAMBROS, WHAT ADVICE
DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER BOYS WHO LOVE TO DANCE?
>> AS I STATED IN MY FIRST AUDITION, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
RESPECTED WHO I AM. HOWEVER, WE CANNOT LET OTHER
PEOPLE BREAK OUR DREAMS. DREAMS DO COME TRUE, RIGHT?
THEY DO. >> Terry: THEY DO.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, LAMBROS. YOU TELL 'EM.
ONLY TWO ACTS CAN GO STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE FINALS.

NICK RUNS THE TEAM. WHEN THE SHOW FINISHES, HE GIVES
US A SUMMARY, WHICH IS BASICALLY THEY ALL HATE ME.
ACTUALLY WHAT -- NO, THEY DON'T. IF YOU GO #AGT, LET US KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE THINKING. WE MIGHT EVEN MENTION YOUR NAME.

AT THE AUDITIONS OUR NEXT PERFORMER MOVED THE JUDGES AND
THE AUDIENCE WITH AN ORIGINAL SONG ABOUT LOSS AND BECOMING A
DAY. HERE'S MITCH MOSSELL.
>> EVERYTHING I DO IS TRYING TO BE A GOOD DAY TO MY KIDS.
THE AUDITION SONG IS NOT A MADE-UP STORY.
IT'S LITERALLY MY LIFE. >> Howie: I PREDICT TOMORROW
THAT'S NUMBER ONE. >> HOWIE WAS HALF RIGHT.
IT WAS NUMBER ONE ON THE COUNTRY RIGHT AND ACROSS ALL FOUR
GENRES. IT'S SOMETHING YOU DREAM OF.

* I'VE SEEN YOU SINGING WORDS THAT ARE ALL WRONG AND YOU SWEAR
THAT'S HOW IT GOES * * I'VE SEEN YOU HAVE TEARS FALL
AFTER AN EPISODE YOU'VE JUST SAW *

THIS IS NOT REALLY MY WORLD. NOW, I'VE GOT THE SURPRISE
ELEMENT. PEOPLE KNOW I CAN PLAY.
