FAVORITE LIVE SHOW ABOUT SO FAR. >> Terry: AMERICA HAS VOTED.
THE FIRST ACT GOING INTO THE FINALS IS -- MURMURATION.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * ARE YOU READY *
* DO YOU KNOW * * I FEEL THAT FEELING *
* ARE YOU READY * * I'VE GOT TO GO *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ONE ACT WINNING $1
MILLION. AND A STARRING ROLE AT LUXOR,
LAS VEGAS. ARE -- YOU -- READY?

PARTY ON TV. IT'S "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT"
LIVE. HERE'S THE BODYGUARD OF TALENT,
TERRY CREWS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: YES. THIS IS THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST
TALENT COMPETITION. YOU WIN "AGT," YOU ARE SET FOR
LIFE. TONIGHT, 11 MORE ACTS WILL
PERFORM. THE JUDGES WILL JUDGE.
HEY, JUDGES. Y'ALL WILL VOTE AND TWO ACTS
WILL MAKE THE FINALS. GOT IT?
GOOD. ARE YOU READY?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] EVERY ACT KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE
TO FIND A WAY TO STAND OUT WHEN THEY COME ONTO THE LIVE SHOWS.
SO TONIGHT, THIS ACROBATIC DANCE GROUP FROM INDIA IS INTRODUCING
SOMETHING NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN "AGT" HISTORY.
HERE WARRIOR SQUAD. >> Simon: I AM BLOWN AWAY BY
THIS ACT. >> Howie: IT'S SOMETHING I'VE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE. >> IT'S A PROUD MOMENT FOR US.
IN OUR COUNTRY WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFICULTIES.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE SO WE'RE BE ABLE TO HELP THE STUDENTS TO
GROW. OUR DREAM IS TO BE THE BEST IN
THE WORLD. WE'VE DONE ACROBATIC GYMNASTICS
BEFORE ON "AGT." WE WANT TO CONTINUE SETTING THE
BAR HIGH. THIS TIME WE BRING THIS.
THIS IS NEVER USED ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
SEE THIS ANGLED PLATFORM. ONE PERSON STANDS AND THEN TWO
BEHIND US. IT'S SO THEY CAN JUMP HIGHER,
WHICH MEANS MORE DANGEROUS. IT NEEDS ACCURACY AND PERFECTION
TO CATCH MEMBERS OF OUR GROUP. SO MUCH PRESSURE ON US.
WE DID NOT FLY 24 HOURS TO GET HERE TO GO BACK HOME.
WE WANT TO REACH THE FINALE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: WARRIOR SQUAD!
HOWIE? >> Howie: THAT WAS THE BEST ACT
OF THE NIGHT. I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S LIKE A
FOUNTAIN. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S SCARY. IT'S ORIGINAL.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTS OF ALL TIMES IS BE UNBEATABLE.
YOU HIT THAT SAME MARK. I LOVE YOU.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: HOWIE, FIRST OF ALL,
YOU HAVE TO CHECK MY POST. >> Howie: THROUGH HER --
>> Heidi: I WAS SO ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE
YOUNGEST MAN WAS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.
YOU GUYS ARE INSANE. WHAT YOU DO IS UNBELIEVABLEUNBEL
I LOVE WHEN YOU ALL CLIMB ON TOP OF EACH OTHER AND BUILD THIS
FORMATION. IT'S INCREDIBLE.
I KNOW THE SHOW JUST STARTED, BUT THIS IS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE
NIGHT. >> Terry: SOFIA?
>> Sofia: WHAT A WAY TO OPEN THE SHOW TONIGHT.
THIS WAS MESMERIZING.
I LOVED YOU GUYS THROUGH THE AUDITION, BUT TONIGHT WAS
SPECTACULAR. THE OUTFITS, THE MUSIC,
EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DID SHOWS WHAT "AGT" IS ALL ABOUT.
CONGRATULATIONS. >> Terry: SIMON, ARE YOU NOT
ENTERTAINED? >> Simon: WHEN DID YOU FLY IN?

OTHER SIDE. >> Terry: WHEN DID YOU GET TO

WHICH ACTS DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN FINALS?
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU. AND WE ARE GONNA KEEP IT MOVING
RIGHT NOW. THIS ACT HAS WORKED IN TECH FOR
YEARS, AND HE SPENT HIS SPARE TIME DEVELOPING HIS MAGIC
SKILLS. THEN HE HAD THE BRIGHT IDEA TO
COMBINE THE TWO AND THAT HAS TAKEN HIM TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
IT COULD EVEN TAKE HIM TO THE "AGT" FINALS.
FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, HERE'S TRIGG WATSON.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> I'VE BEEN PERFORMING MAGIC
SINCE I WAS 4 YEARS OLD. I'VE PERFORMED IN EVERY VENUE TO
KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTIES, HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUMS, CORPORATE
EVENTS. EVERYTHING HAS LED TO THIS
MOMENT. >> Simon: DO YOU THINK YOU CAN
WIN? >> I DO ABSOLUTELY.
>> I COULD SENSE SIMON WAS A LITTLE SKEPTICAL.
I HAD TO LET THE ACT SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
>> Heidi: I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I WAS GOING WOW, WOW, WOW.
>> WHEN MY AUDITION AIRED, THERE WAS SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK.
THERE WERE A LOT OF COMMENTS ONLINE PEOPLE SAYING IT WAS
FAKE, IT WAS EDITED, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN LIVE.
IT WAS DISAPPOINTING. THAT'S WHY I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE
LIVE SHOWS. THIS IS MY TIME TO SHOW THERE'S
NO EDITING, JUST MAGIC HAPPENING IN THE MOMENT.
WINNING "AGT" WOULD BRING MY ACT TO A GLOBAL AUDIENCE.
I ALWAYS HAD A FASCINATION WITH TECHNOLOGY, BUT MAGIC IS WHAT I
WAS BORN TO DO. I'VE ALREADY QUIT MY DAY JOB.
THERE IS NO PLAN B. THIS IS IT.
>> Terry: TRUST ME, YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE WHEN TRIGG
PERFORMS. THAT'S IF WE CAN GET ALL THIS
Performing live for your votes.
It's Trigg Watson.
I've arrived.
What's up, man? A GT.
I love technology, why? Because it has the potential to bring
us closer together.
Let me show you what I mean.
Hi. Heidi in front of us some paper. And here,
let me grab you a pen. Yes,
Patty. I would like you. I would like you to think of
a single moment. A moment in which you felt a strong
connection to someone special. For example, I might think of
when I went sailing with my dad
cute, do you have a moment in mind?
Okay, I would like you to take this pen
and make a quick draw.
Of that moment you're thinking of now doesn't have to be fancy.
Nothing. Gonna stick figures are fine,
but when you're done
autograph, it for me so that we know that it's yours.
Okay. All right. Now I am on the biggest stage in the world,
the AGT
live shows
and I love
I love that. Thanks to technology. I get to share
the biggest moment of my life with my best friend. Kyle on video,
call Kyle. He there. What's so tricky? I can't believe we're
on live TV.
Yes,
we made it brother,
Kyle, meet everybody, everybody meet Kyle. Hello everyone. Hi
Heidi. How's your drawing coming?
How's your drawing coming? Very good. Should I be going to keep
going
Kyle's very excited because honestly we've dreamed of
Performing together on stage like this ever since we were
teenaged magicians it
You, I have proof.
Check it out.
Mad,
we were really cool. Really. Cool.
Hey, are you done with your drawing? I am. I can't wait to
see what you've done for us. Let's take a look.
Oh, this is brilliant. Okay,
fantastic. Take a look. Everyone check this out.
Okay. No wait,
I think I know what's going on here. How do you? But could you
tell us? Share with us, the moment you've drawn? What's my
wedding? Of course incredible.
Oh it's incredibly special n**** moments, we live for
height, right? These moments of connection, sharing them with
people. We care about and Heidi I would like to connect you
with Kyle. By sharing your special moment I can with him
despite the distance. Okay,
Kyle, here you go. Are you ready? Take it. Yeah.
Okay,
here we go.
There it is.
Right there with your autograph you and your husband on your
wedding day. Thank you so much. You know, I've always wanted
supermodel,
I'm going to hang this on my wall
right
there. We
that looks good,
what happened?
Oh,
we're live,
you know, I guess I can appear like that on stage but I can't
fix Wi-Fi.
Because I want to remember this moment
between all of us
just like she remembers her wedding day.
Right, Heidi. Well yeah,
fortunately, this is not a video call.
It never has been.
It's a memory
A poster.
Of a moment. I will never
forget.
I bet we can all admit that. I was the best part of this act,
but you also have pretty good. I'm, I'm sitting here, and I'm
like, how did he do that? That Pretty special
right? Yes. Sophia. What did you think
that was something again that I've never seen before on this
stage, so I have to give it to you. I mean, you took
the challenge of making a work live and it was amazing. Thank you,
Simon.
Well, yeah, I mean
I I said to Sofia, I've no idea what was going on here which
probably is a good thing.
Thing. I think your presentation is a bit annoying.
I'm not going to lie.
However,
it was clever. We don't know how you how that happens. So
good for you.
Good for you
know how to follow that. Except that I got to say that. I don't
know if it's annoying as much as there was kind of a dick.
You're my favorite magician this season
and I got to say a magic is great.
I let your entrance was spectacular and jaw-dropping,
your closing was spectacular and jaw-dropping. I think what
Simon had in the middle. It got a little boring but it was
fantastic.
I'm glad you're here. Only two can go through, it's up to
America, not us
trig. When did you decide to combine your Tech skills with
your magic? You know, it was really just experiencing how
Magical. The modern world is and wanting to remind people of
that to remind them to dream,
right? That's right. Rick, good luck today.
Just two acts can go into the finals which to is totally up
to you. So, folks
coming up,
I think you guys are great.
You sounded like you.
We should be doing this more than slicing beats out that was
going to do stand-up comedy. Sit down a day. You are

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: WE'VE BEEN HEARING A
LOT ABOUT THE SHOW FROM YOU THIS YEAR, AND WE LOVE IT.
JOIN THE CONVERSATION AND LET US HAVE IT, ALL OF IT, ABOUT THE
ACTS, THE JUDGES, OBVIOUSLY NOT ME HOWEVER.
WE'LL INCLUDE SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS IN THE SHOW TONIGHT, SO
DON'T HOLD BACK. GET YOURSELVES INVOLVED.
LIKE THIS FROM "AGT" SOCIAL. MASON FROM FLOWER MILE, TEXAS,
SAYS THAT MAGIC PERFORMANCE WAS AWESOME.
SIMON'S JUDGING WAS THE ANNOYING PART.
>> Simon: WOW. >> Terry: HOW DARE THEY.
>> Simon: I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS HONESTLY.
>> Terry: HERE'S OUR NEXT ACT. SHE'S 19 AND SHE MAKES PIZZA FOR
A LIVING, BUT HER DREAM IS TO BE A SINGER.
SHE GOT FOUR YESES FROM THE JUDGES AND NOW SHE'S ON THE
VERGE OF MAYBE MAKING THE "AGT" FINALS.
WHAT A RIDE. FROM BRUNSWICK, OHIO, HERE'S
SUMMER RIOS. >> YESTERDAY I WAS WORKING AT
PIZZA HUT. TODAY I'M AT "AGT."
>> LOOK HOW PRETTY SHE IS. >> YES, MA'AM.
>> I FEEL LIKE I'M SOMEONE IMPORTANT.
THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO BE. I'M GOING TO BE IN THE CENTER OF
THAT. THERE'S CAMERAS.
I THINK THOSE ARE CAMERAS. I DON'T KNOW.
I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL. I NORMALLY PERFORM IN MY
BEDROOM, IN THE SHOWER, AT MY JOB.
I'M IN THE READY AREA. THERE'S SO MANY LIGHTS.
>> IT'S SO COOL. >> THIS IS THE INTERVIEW ROOM.
THIS IS WHERE I GOT INTERVIEWED. SORRY.
>> SUMMER, YOU SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE?
>> I DON'T THINK SO. >> IT'S SO OVERWHELMING.
DURING MY AUDITION WHEN THE CROWD STARTED CHEERING, IT'S
SOMETHING I NEVER REALLY HAD BEFORE.
HOLY COW, THIS IS HAPPENING. >> Sofia: YOUR VOICE IS
SPECTACULAR. >> THE WHOLE THREE MINUTES CAN
CHANGE YOUR LIFE, IT'S TRUE. NOW I WANT TO CONTINUE DOING
THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY. >> ARE YOU NERVOUS?
>> GOING TO BE A BIGGER PERFORMANCE THAN BEFORE.
IT'S BEEN A LITTLE HARD TO HIT THE NOTES I WANT TO HIT.
WINNING THE SHOW IS WHAT I'VE DREAMED ABOUT.
FINGERS CROSSED I DON'T GET AN "X."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * EVERY MORNING I STILL GET A
LITTLE NERVOUS * * FIGHTING MY ANXIETY
CONSTANTLY * * I TRY TO CONTROL IT *
* DON'T KNOW IF I CAN EXPRESS HOW THANKFUL I AM *
* THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS WITH ME * * I DON'T WANT TO LOSE CONTROL *
* THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ANYMORE *
* TRYING EVERY DAY TO BE BRAVE * * I DON'T WANT LOSE CONTROL *
* SOMETIMES I THINK SOMETHING'S COMING, BUT I KNOW IT'S NOT *
* TRYING TO BREATHE IN AND OUT, BUT THE AIR GETS CAUGHT *
* EVEN THOUGH I'M OLDER NOW AND I KNOW HOW TO SHAKE OFF THE
PAST * * I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO IF I
DIDN'T HAVE YOU HOLDING MY HAND *
* I DON'T WANT LOSE CONTROL * * THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
ANYMORE * * I NEED YOU TO KNOW I WILL
NEVER BE THIS WITHOUT YOU * * I DON'T WANT TO LOSE CONTROL *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: SUMMARY RIOS!
SOFIA? >> Sofia: SUMMER, THAT WAS SO
BEAUTIFUL. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU IS YOUR
PERSONALITY. I REALLY, REALLY WISH THAT
TONIGHT AMERICA VOTES FOR YOU. IT'S A VERY HARD COMPETITION
TONIGHT. ONLY TWO ARE GOING TO GO TO THE
FINALS. I REALLY, REALLY HOPE THAT ONE
OF THEM IS YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: SUMMER, I REMEMBER
YOUR AUDITION LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.
I THOUGHT IT WAS BRILLIANT. LIKE SOFIA SAID, I LOVED YOUR
PERSONALITY. THERE WAS A RAWNESS TO YOUR
AUDITION, WHICH I THINK WE LOST TONIGHT.
EVERYTHING TO ME FELT A LITTLE BIT OVERPRODUCED, WHICH IS A
SHAME. [AUDIENCE BOOS]
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? I JUST FEEL -- I DON'T KNOW.
>> Sofia: YOU'RE THE GRINCH TONIGHT.
>> Simon: I'M NOT BEING THE GRINCH BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE
HER. I LIKED THE SONG.
I DIDN'T LOVE THE SONG, BUT I REALLY, REALLY LOVE YOU.
>> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU HAVE INCREDIBLE STAGE PRESENCE AS THEY WERE SAYING,
PERSONALITY. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, TO JUST ECHO
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, ONLY TWO CAN GO THROUGH.
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE JUST SINGING, YOU HAVE TO BLOW THE
ROOF OFF THE PLACE. I THOUGHT YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
WASN'T MY FAVORITE SONG. NOT UP TO ME.
IT'S UP TO AMERICA. I THINK YOU DID IT AS GOOD AS
YOU POSSIBLY COULD. >> Terry: HEIDI, YOU WEREFEET.
>> Heidi: I LIKED WHAT YOU DID. I FEEL LIKE YOU REALLY NAILED
IT. DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THIS
NEGATIVITY. YOU DID REALLY, REALLY WELL.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SUMMER, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE JUDGES BEING A
LITTLE SPLIT ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE?
>> IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN
OPINIONS. I'M TAKING IN WHAT THEY'RE
SAYING AS ADVICE AND TIPS ON THE NEXT PERFORMANCE IF I MAKE IT
THROUGH. >> Terry: THAT'S A SMART MOVE.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, SUMMER. YOU CAN VOTE ONLINE AND WITH THE
APP. SO DO IT.
SUMMER CAN'T GO INTO THE FINALS WITHOUT YOU.
STILL TO COME, A HIP-HOP DANCE CREW OF KIDS AND THEIR
PARENTS -- YES -- THEY'LL BE TEARING UP THE STAGE.
AND LATER, SIMON'S GOLDEN BUZZER
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ONE DAY, A WHILE AGO,
A DANCE TEACHER HAD AN IDEA WHICH HE THOUGHT MIGHT CHANGE A
FEW LIVES. WELL, IT DID A LOT MORE THAN
THAT, AND IT HAS BROUGHT THIS NEXT ACT TO THE BIGGEST STAGE IN
THE WORLD AND MAYBE A SPOT IN THE "AGT" FINALS.
HERE'S PHIL WRIGHT AND PARENT JAM.
>> THE PARENT JAM STARTED IN A VERY SMALL HIP-HOP DANCE STUDIO
IN LOS ANGELES. >> I WOULD ALWAYS SEE THE
PARENTS PEEKING IN THE WINDOWS. I INVITED THEM IN TO JOIN DANCE
CLASS WITH THEIR KIDS. AT FIRST THEY WERE SUPER SCARED.
THEN EVERYONE JUMPED IN. >> BY PERFORMING ON "AGT" WE CAN
SHOW THE WORLD EVERY PARENT SHOULD BE DANCING WITH THEIR
KID. >> WHEN SIMON SAID --
>> Simon: I THINK THIS IDEA IS GENIUS.
>> -- MY HEART STARTING SHINING. WHEN HOWIE SAID --
>> Howie: I DON'T THINK IT'S BIG ENOUGH TO WITHIN $1 MILLION.
>> -- I WAS LIKE OKAY. >> THERE'S THINGS TO GO OVER.
>> WE MADE IT TO THE LIVE SHOWS. WE'RE VERY, VERY HAPPY TO BE
HERE. >> WE'RE GOING TO PROVE HOWIE
WRONG. >> MY DREAM IS TO OPEN UP A
PARENT/KID STUDIO IN EVERY GYM IN AMERICA.
>> WE WANT TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD.
>> I KNOW YOU'RE PARENTS, BUT I GOT TO TREAT YOU LIKE MY
STUDENTS. >> THE PARENTS STILL GOT IT.
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. >> HE CAN FALL ON HIS FACE.
>> WE'RE GOING TO PROVE HOWIE WRONG.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
** [ BUZZER ]
** **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: PHIL WRIGHT AND PARENT
JAM. I'M GOING TO SIMON FIRST.
>> Simon: I REALLY LIKE THIS AGENT.
THEY HAVE A PURPOSE. IT'S NOT AN ACT THAT WANTS A FEW
MORE CLICKS ON TIKTOK OR WHATEVER.
I REALLY LIKE THEIR IDEA. ALSO, I THINK FROM WHEN WE FIRST
SAW THIS ACT TO NOW THEY HAVE GONE UP HUGELY.
BY THE WAY, IT WASN'T PERFECT AND IT SHOULDN'T BE PERFECT.
IT WAS JUST FUN. I LOVE THIS ACT.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: HOWIE, COME ON MAN.
WHY DID YOU BUZZ? >> Howie: I AGREE IT'S JUST FUN.
HE SAID WHAT A GREAT IDEA FOR A FRANCHISE.
INSTEAD OF MOMMY AND ME, THIS PARENT JAM SHOULD BE ALL OVER A
NATION. IT SHOULDN'T BE A MILLION DOLLAR
SHOW IN VEGAS. IT'S NOTHING ANYBODY IS GUY TO
BUY TICKETS TO, BUT I WOULD TAKE MY KIDS TO IT.
[AUDIENCE BOOS] >> Terry: HEIDI, LET'S GO TO
YOU, HEIDI. SIT DOWN, HOWIE.
HEIDI? >> Heidi: I THINK IT WAS THE
SONG. IT WAS "PUSH IT, PUSH IT REAL
GOOD." THAT'S WHY YOU DID.
IT'S ENDEARING TO WATCH. IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH.
I MEAN, MOST OF THE TIME CHILDREN ARE EMBARRASSED TO DO
ANYTHING WITH YOUR PARENTS. >> Howie: YOU WOULD BUY TICKETS
TO SEE THIS. >> Heidi: I WOULD WANT TO DO IT.
I THINK IT'S INSPIRING FOR FAMILIES TO DO THIS TOGETHER.
I THINK THEY'RE ON TO SOMETHING. >> Terry: SOFIA?
>> Sofia: IT WAS THE FEEL-GOOD ACT OF THE NIGHT.
I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH WHAT YOU DID.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN COMPETE WITH THE TALENT WE HAVE TONIGHT.
>> Howie: SEE. >> Sofia: WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU
WERE DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY. IT'S UP TO AMERICA.
IT'S NOT UP TO HOWIE. >> Terry: FIRST OF ALL, SINCE
YOU GOT BUZZED BY HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO AMERICA TO
GET THEM TO VOTE FOR YOU? >> I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF
PERFORMING IN VEGAS. RIGHT NOW WE'RE BREAKING DOWN
BARRIERS. WE REALLY ARE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY.
TONIGHT IS ALL ABOUT YOUR VOTES. GO TO NBC.COM OR USE THE "AGT"
APP. GET THE ACTS YOU LOVE INTO THE
FINALS. AFTER THE BREAK, A VIOLINIST
FROM WEST VIRGINIA WHO HAS *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: HOWIE, RIGHT NOW YOU
ARE THE MAN THEY LOVE TO HATE. "AGT" SOCIAL, LANDON FROM
COLORADO SPRINGS SAYS, I CALLED THAT HOWIE BUZZER.
HE HATES ANYTHING FUN.
#AGT. >> Howie: WHAT A COINCIDENCE
BECAUSE, LANDON, I HATE YOU. [AUDIENCE BOOS]
>> Heidi: OH, NO. >> Terry: IT'S GETTING WORSE.
MOVING ON. HERE'S A MUSICIAN FROM THE
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS IN WEST VIRGINIA.
HE GOT A STANDING OVATION AT THE AUDITIONS, AND NOW HE'S HOPING
TO GET THE WHOLE COUNTRY STOMPING YOUR FEET AND VOTING.
FROM MONTGOMERY, WEST VIRGINIA, HERE'S PHILIP BOWEN.
>> FIVE YEARS AGO I WAS PLAYING GIGS IN A COFFEE SHOP FOR $7 IN
TIPS AND A SCONE. TO GO FROM THAT TO PERFORMING ON
"AGT," ELECTRIC. WHEN MY HAT FELL OFF, I DIDN'T
CARE. I WAS SO HYPED.
MY PARENTS SAT WITH ME THROUGH SQUEAKING VIOLIN PRACTICES AND I
THINK IT WAS A PROUD MOMENT FOR THEM TOO.
SINCE MY AUDITION, I LOST OVER 50 POUNDS.
WORKING AS A MUSICIAN NOW, GIG AFTER GIG, WINNING "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT" WOULD BE LIFE CHANGING.
I'M GOING TO STEP IT UP. I'M PLAYING FASTER.
I'M MOVING. THE DREAM IS TO BE DOING THIS IN
VEGAS EVERY NIGHT. I WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE, YES, IT'S
POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS SHOW WITH A 100-YEAR-OLD FIDDLE AND I CAN
DO IT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME.
THAT'S MY DREAM. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> OH, YEAH. LET'S GO.
HIT IT. **
>> LET'S GO!

* WHOA WHOA WHOA * * WHOA WHOA WHOA *
* YAY YAY YAY *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: PHILIP BOWEN.
HOWIE, YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH HIM?
>> Howie: NO. LOOK, EVERYONE IS ON THEIR FEET.
I KNOW THIS IS A FAMILY SHOW, BUT PEOPLE LOVE WATCHING A MAN
FIDDLE WITH HIMSELF. WHAT, SIMON?
WHY IS YOUR EYE ON THE MIC? >> Sofia: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
TODAY? >> Howie: I DON'T KNOW.
HAVING FUN. I LOVE THIS.
HOPEFULLY AMERICA LOVES THIS AND VOTES FOR YOU.
>> Heidi: I LOVE YOU TOO. YOU PLAY GREAT.
IT'S THE ENERGY YOU GIVE. YOU HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT
YOU. YOU GIVE MORE THAN 100%.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: PHILIP, YOU'RE A GREAT
ENTERTAINER, GREAT ENERGY. YOU MAKE THE VIOLIN SEXY.
WHAT A SHOW TONIGHT. I LOVE THIS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: IT IS EVERY PARENT'S NIGHTMARE WHEN THE CHILD SAYS I
WANT TO PLAY THE VIOLIN. SERIOUSLY.
ACTUALLY YOU MADE IT ENTERTAINING.
IT WAS A REALLY GOOD CHOICE OF SONG.
YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT PERSONALITY.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I COULD FEEL HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO YOU.
>> Sofia: YES. >> Simon: I THINK THE AUDIENCE
AT HOME IS GOING TO REALLY LIKE YOU.
>> THANK YOU, SIMON. >> Simon: YOU LOOK GREAT.
>> Terry: PHILIP, YOU ARE UP HERE BREAKING STRINGS.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU? >> IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME.
I'M DOWN 50 POUNDS SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE.
STELLA, HENRY, THIS IS FOR YOU. DAD LOVES YOU.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. EVERY ACT WANTS TO MAKE THE
FINALS. ONLY TWO OF THEM WILL GET THERE.
VOTE AT NBC.COM OR ON THE "AGT" APP.
USE YOUR POWER. COMING UP, AN "AGT" FIRST.
IT'S A UNIQUE GOLDEN BUZZER ACT FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
THEN LATER A COMEDIAN FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO GETS A
SHOT AT MAKING THE FINALS. STAY RIGHT THERE.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: TWO YEARS AGO AN UNFORGETTABLE SINGER CALLED
NIGHTBIRDE WON OUR HEARTS AND SIMON'S GOLDEN BUZZER WITH HER
STORY AND HER OWN ORIGINAL SONG. SADLY SHE WASN'T ABLE TO
CONTINUE HER "AGT" JOURNEY AND SHE PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR.
WELL THIS YEAR, A CHOIR FROM SOUTH AFRICA PERFORMED
NIGHTBIRDE'S SONG AND THEY GOT THE FIRST EVER GOLDEN BUZZER
FROM THE AUDIENCE. FROM SOWETO, SOUTH AFRICA,
HERE'S THE MZANSI YOUTH CHOIR. >> WALKING ON THAT STAGE --
>> I THINK NIGHTBIRDE WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.
>> Simon: I KNOW HOW MUCH THIS WOULD HAVE --
>> THERE WERE TEARS AND THEN OUR TEARS.
>> LET'S DO IT. >> Simon: WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS
BEFORE. >> PURE MAGIC.
WE NEVER EXPECTED THAT. >> THE CHOIR'S MISSION IS TO
CHANGE YOUNG LIVES AND TO SHOW THE YOUTH THAT YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT DEFINE YOU. WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO MAKE
OUR DREAMS COME TRUE. >> MY DREAM IS TO HAVE A
WONDERFUL SINGING CAREER. >> TO CONNECT THE WORLD WITH
MUSIC. >> OPEN MY OWN RESTAURANT.
>> MAKING MY MOTHER PROUD. >> GOING TO THE "AGT" FINAL
SHOW. >> EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND
WE'RE AN EXAMPLE OF THAT. >> WE JUST FOUND OUT MY FAMILY
IS GOING TO BE IN THE AUDIENCE. WE CAN'T WAIT TO SHOWCASE THE
LEGACY OF NIGHTBIRDE. >> WE'RE GOING TO BE SPREADING
SO MUCH LOVE ON THAT STAGE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* MMMMM * * MMMMM *

>> Terry: MZANSI YOUTH CHOIR. HEIDI?
>> Heidi: THIS WAS GIVING ME ALL SORTS OF REALLY GOOD VIBES
COMING FROM YOU. IT SOUNDED REALLY GOOD.
IT WAS A GREAT SONG CHOICE. YOUR HARMONIZING WAS BEAUTIFUL.
I LOVE THE WAY EVERYONE LOOKS. EVERY TIME YOU BRING IT WITH
BEAUTIFUL OUTFITS, YOUR MAKE-UP AND EVERYTHING.
IT GAVE ME A REALLY GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU WERE SINGING.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I THINK WE ALL GOOD
GOOSEBUMPS.
IT WAS LIKE LISTENING TO A SOUNDTRACK TO A MOVIE.
IT WAS SPECTACULAR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: I THINK THIS ACT IS
SPECTACULAR. YOUR ENERGY AND JUST THE WAY YOU
PERFORM, IT JUST DRAWS YOU IN. YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS SAY THIS
STAGE CAN MAKE YOU OR BREAK YOU. TONIGHT IT MADE YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU.
>> Simon: THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL
TRIBUTE YOU DID BEFORE TO NIGHTBIRDE.
PART OF HER FAMILY ARE HERE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. >> Terry: HER FAMILY'S HERE
TONIGHT. HOWIE?
>> Howie: I WANT TO SAY WHETHER YOU'RE SINGING THE WORDS AND THE
MELODY OF NIGHTBIRDE OR YOU'RE DOING FLEETWOOD MAC, YOU BRING
YOUR BEAUTY, YOUR CULTURE, YOUR LOOK AND YOUR ESSENCE TO THE
STAGE. YOU MAKE IT SO UNIQUE, SO
ORIGINAL, SO MAGNETIC. I DON'T USUALLY LOVE CHOIRS.
I LOVE YOU. THAT'S MY THREE WORDS FOR YOU.
I LOVE YOU. >> WE LOVE YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: MZANSI, YOU WENT
THROUGH A LOT TO GET HERE. YOU HAD FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS AND
OTHER ISSUES. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO GET THE LOVE
FROM AMERICA YOU'RE GETTING RIGHT NOW?
>> WE HAVE THE BIGGEST FAMILY IN AMERICA.
WE'RE SO HAPPY TO BE PERFORMING FOR YOU.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY. MAKE THE CHOIR'S DREAM COME
TRUE. PUT THEM IN THE FINALS.
VOTE, VOTE AND VOTE AGAIN. THEY NEED YOU.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: COMING UP -- >> Sofia: YOU MAKE TAP DANCING
SEXY. >> Simon: YOU SHOWED EVERYBODY
WHY HARD WORK PAYS OFF. >> Howie: WE'VE SEEN THIS
BEFORE. NOW YOU'RE HANGING IN THE AIR
AND STILL DOING IT. >> Sofia: YOUR MIDDLE NAME NEEDS
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: UP NEXT A TAP DANCER WHO HAS SACRIFICED A LOT TO
PURSUE HIS PASSION. HE'S PUSHING THE ENVELOPE OF HIS
CRAFT TONIGHT. WILL IT TAKE HIM TO THE FINALS?
FROM MONTREAL, CANADA, HERE'S JUSTIN JACKSON.
>> I DIDN'T HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS AFTER SCHOOL.
I DIDN'T GO TO BIRTHDAY PARTIES. I WANTED TO DANCE.
I WAS THE ONE -- EVEN BEFORE I KNEW WHAT TAP DANCING WAS, I WAS
STOMPING THE FLOOR. >> Sofia: WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?
>> TO HAVE MY OWN SHOW IN LAS VEGAS.
>> I'VE DONE SO MUCH WORK THROUGHOUT MY CAREER.
AS AN ARTIST, I GET TOLD NO A LOT.
SEEING THAT REACTION, THAT SHOOK ME.
>> Simon: YOU JUST SHOWED EVERYBODY WHY HARD WORK PAYS
OFF. MASTER CLASS.
>> HEARING THE COMMENTS FROM SIMON, I FELT LIKE HE UNDERSTOOD
THE BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS. NOW I'M ONLY ONE ROUND AWAY FROM
MAKING IT TO THE FINALS. THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE IS SUPER
IMPORTANT. GOING IN AS A SOLOIST, I FEEL
NERVOUS. DANCING IN A GROUP IS SO MUCH
EASIER BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE BEHIND YOU TO HELP BRING
IT UP. FOR ME TO STAND OUT, I'M ADDING
CONFETTI, JUMP ROPES. I'M DOING SOME DANCING OTHER
THAN TAP. I'M LEAVING EVERYTHING OUT THERE

THAT'S NOT UP TO US. GOOD LUCK, BUDDY.

THEY'RE SAYING, BUT EVERYBODY SEEMS TO AGREE WITH ME.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: FIRST OF ALL --
[ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ]
IT'S AMAZING. YOU PLAY AND YOU HAVE THIS
CHOREOGRAPHY. NORMALLY MUSICIANS ARE STANDING

YOU GIRLS ARE DANCING AND PERFORMING AT THE SAME TIME
WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING. LET'S TALK ABOUT THESE OUTFITS.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: ADORABLE, FUN.

Check out who's here. It's top five finalists from last Season
Chapel heart and they're going to be performing on the show.
Tomorrow night,
are you looking forward to being back on the AGT stage?
Terry, we are so excited to be back here at AGG. The crowd is
amazing and tomorrow's going to be insane. It literally feels,
I were back home with family,
especially since the pressures off. We can just enjoy the show.
I know, I'm looking forward to it.
Also, tomorrow night,
two acts will make the season finals. It is going to be
a big, big night. It all starts at 8:00. Now,
Simon Cowell, doesn't like a lot of comedians but at this
guy's audition Simon said and I'm quoting him directly.
He said you're funny really funny so he must be good from
the south side of Chicago.
Here's Barry Brewer.
A junior
Church in a priest. It's like, seriously, put your hands
together for
the first time I ever did send up. I was 19. And I've been
chasing that dream ever since.
So to get the reaction in my AGT audition,
that meant I'm about to cry like that, man. Everything, you
know, we see a lot of comedians here on this stage and I've
never seen him like mix it up with music. I really loved it.
Thank you. But this
I won't be using music.
I was really debating on doing it
but that's just one side of my stand up.
That's studying on the show because I wanted to get a sneak
peek at what to expect.
Oh, my God, my heart dropped when I saw Erica. Get buzzed
it, just got real, you know,
Aaron was amazing and I'm sure it won't make me. Just take it
up even though more of a notch because I am a competitor.
The comic has never won it and somehow I feel like I might be
the first one to do so
that's why I come and hasn't won because they've been Eating
for me. No worries.
I am here.
We live,
what's up?
I'm so glad to be here, man with you all man. What's up,
America? What's up everybody? Yeah,
I got my family in the house. My wife is here, my kid is here,
it's so great.
Being married, man. People don't talk about the positives
of marriage
marriage, go, good. Sometimes
you always hear people like, it's always. No, it goes good.
I remember, one day, me and my wife is true story, who's
having a great day. You ever having a great day with your
mate? Everything is going well,
you know what I mean? You looking at them, they looking
at chill out, so glad I fix you.
And you looking very well, I'm glad I fix you too.
He's having one of those days, he's acting silly. She's not,
let me ask you a question.
I was like, okay. So let me ask you a question, listening.
Okay. I'm like a, we plans. Like you could be any animal,
you want gay, if you could be any animal, you want? What
animal would you be?
I was like, um,
She's like, wait, I be a lioness
was like, okay, that's sexy. Okay lioness. She like, what
animal would you be? You could be any animal you want. So I'm
thinking, you know, because I really wanted to take when
you'd say
what animal would I be? I want to make sure the animal
represent me. So I start thinking of different animals.
I haven't watched the animal channel in a while, so I was
thinking
think about the bear
aggressive, but I want to gut sounds like, you know, not to Bear
thinking of the dear
See the deal in a pinch. I was like, nah, I don't really ain't
really me.
And I thought of an eagle
Eagle. Something Regal about an eagle. I said I would be
an eagle bait.
She said, you'll be a what?
Tapia eagle.
She said, what did I say? I be
You said you'll be a lioness. She said, what you say,
I said I will be an eagle
and you don't see nothing wrong with that.
baby, say, whatever I want to be
So that dude, I mean you want to fly away from this
relationship. Is that what you're saying?
Huh.
Hey would you stop right now? You? Are you saying you don't
want to be with me? Is that what you're saying?
I'm like, babe. What are you talking about? She like, how
are we going to be together? I'm like, babe, calm down.
I thought we were just having a great time.
You said, whatever I want to be, I didn't know we was
together in this Animal Kingdom. I didn't know that.
I didn't know that's what it was.
She's not how you not know that. I'm like, I didn't know
she's like week together. I was like, I didn't know in
the animal world, but okay, my bad, I'm trying to really back in,
like, my bad. I'm a lying. She's like, not, I don't be
a liar because I don't want
to change you. You always talk about trying to change you.
So, never mind. Let me ask you this mr. Eagle
would you? At least come visit me.
And I'm thinking
two Eagles, visit lions.
I don't think so. I'm like babe I don't think so
she's like so you won't even come check on me.
I'm like babe, I would be your ego. I don't think Eagles and
lions hang out.
She was like Simba have friends all over the jungle. What do
you mean?
I said babe, that's the movie. She's like this real life.
And so we in counseling, because I wanted to be
an eagle.
I just wanted to be an eagle.
Thank you America.
Barry Bruins you. Yeah,
Barry.
You have the most important greet ingredient comedian needs
and that is like ability. You know you I think that you no
matter what you said up there, the audience is going to love
you and be drawn to you.
I think you took a shot, you know, this was
one story, you know whereas if you had jokes and you were
throwing jokes you could
it was one if they weren't going to go with you.
They went with you and they went with you because you're
likeable and you're a good Storyteller. Thank you so much.
I'm sorry, look, I totally agree with Howie. I think, you
know,
you really, really likable. You're very funny. However,
I'm going to be honest with you, your first audition, it
was so different behind the keyboards and I was really
hoping that you would do the same thing for the live shows.
I think if you had of done,
you would have given yourself a much much. Better shot because
because we've seen
it. I don't know.
I'd never seen an act like that before a comedian
singing at the same time.
And
so I'm struggling because of what I just said. I liked you.
I just
didn't. I preferred your first audition Heidi. Do you agree?
I think a no don't
thank you. Thank you. I like the story and you had me like
I was laughing out loud, but I do agree with Simon. I did like
the accompanying of the keyboard because it made you
stand out. From the other comedians,
but you still very, very talented and I think America
should still vote for you.
Good luck tonight. Barry is very going to be in the finals.
You tell me a rather. You both voting is open until 7:00 a.m.
eastern tomorrow, so get to it.
All right, it's just a couple of minutes.
This unique aerial is will take flight,
but can his mix of Art and Design

OPPORTUNITY TO BE UNIQUE. I WANT TO BE SEXY, FUNNY,
UNIQUE. I BELONG IN VEGAS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

AERIAL, YOU DID IT ALL. YOU DESERVE TO BE IN THE FINALS.
>> Simon: WE ASK PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR "A" GAME.
NO QUESTION HE DID. I KEPT LAUGHING BECAUSE I WAS

DO. I COULDN'T GET HIS IMAGE OUT OF
MY MIND. THAT'S A GOOD THING.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I MEAN, I'M LIKE
SPEECHLESS. THAT WAS BREATHTAKING.

I REALIZED THERE WAS A GOLDEN BUZZER.
>> Simon: THERE'S THE GOLD. >> I'M SO GRATEFUL.
I DON'T WANT TO WASTE THIS CHANCE.
FOR THE LIVE SHOWS I CHOSE THIS SONG BECAUSE I CONNECT TO THE
LYRICS. FOR ME THE SONG IS ABOUT MY
BIGGEST CHALLENGE. WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT ME AS A
BLIND PERSON AND NOT AS A MUSICIAN, I WANT TO BREAK A
STEREOTYPE. IF I CAN WIN "AMERICA'S GOT
TALENT," IT WILL COME TRUE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: WELL, WE KNOW SIMON'S ROOTING FOR HER.
