[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >>> GOING INTO THE FINALS IS --
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER *
* RISING UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF OUR RIVALS *
* AND THE LAST KNOWN SURVIVOR STALKS HIS PREY IN THE NIGHT *
* HE'S WATCHING WITH THE EYE OF THE TIGER *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Announcer: WELCOME TO
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT." WE ARE LIVE.
MAKE SOME NOISE FOR TERRY CREWS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: YES! ALL RIGHT.
SETTLE DOWN.
WE HAVEN'T GOT TIME FOR CHEERING.
SAVE IT. 11 ACTS ARE COMING UP.
AND THESE ACTS ARE SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR ACROSS OUR SOCIAL
PLATFORMS. TOGETHER THEY'VE HAD OVER
480 MILLION VIEWS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
BUT JUST TWO OF THEM WILL BE RIGHT BACK HERE IN THE FINALS.
OKAY. THE JUDGES HAVE GOT THEIR BRAINS
FIRED UP AND READY. HEY, JUDGES.
THE FINALS ARE JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY AND TONIGHT IS ALL ABOUT
YOUR VOTES. ARE YOU READY?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] FIRST TONIGHT, A CONTESTANT WHO
HAS THE WORDS NO EXCUSES TATTOOED ACROSS HIS BACK.
AND HE LIVES HIS WHOLE LIFE BY THAT RULE.
FROM CANTON, OHIO, HERE'S ZION CLARK.
>> I GREW UP WITHOUT A FAMILY. I WAS DISABLED AND A FOSTER KID.
I HAD TO FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING I'VE HAD JUST FOR SURVIVAL.
THE ONLY REASON WHY ANYBODY KNOWS MY NAME IS BECAUSE I
FIGHT. I TAKE A LOOK AT SOMETHING AND
I'M LIKE CAN I DO THIS OR NOT DO THIS?
EITHER WAY I'M GOING TO TRY. I WANT TO BE AN "AGT" BECAUSE I
WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE THE FEELING OF NO
EXCUSES RUNNING THROUGH YOUR VOTING.
>> Simon: THIS IS WHAT THIS SHOW
ABSOLUTELY IS ALL ABOUT. IT'S ABOUT MEETING TALENTED
PEOPLE AND YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
>> PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE INSPIRED BY MY PERFORMANCE.
I WAS LIKE, I DID THAT? I GOT 70 MILLION VIEWS.
THAT'S REAL STUFF RIGHT THERE. TONIGHT I'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP
PUSHING HARDER TO SEE IF I CAN REACH EVEN HIGHER.
SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOMEBODY LIKE MYSELF TO SHOW PEOPLE THEY CAN
ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. IF I CAN CHANGE MY LIFE FOR THE
BETTER, I WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.
IT'S GO TIME, BABY. LET'S DO IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> IT'S THE ONE THING I CAN TURN
TO WHEN THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH. MUSIC HAS NEVER TURNED ITS BACK
ON ME. WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC, IT
ALLOWS ME TO CREATE THE SOUND TO HELP THE WORLD'S PAIN.
IT'S GIVEN ME THE ABILITY TO RISE UP AND OVERCOME EVERY
CHALLENGE, EVERY HURDLE I'VE COME ACROSS.
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, I KNOW I'LL OVERCOME EVERY OBSTACLE IN
MY LIFE AS I'M ABOUT TO TONIGHT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

THAT WAS WAS AMAZING. HONESTLY, AMAZING.
>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT
FOR YOU. >> Terry: ZION, WHAT DO YOU WANT
THE ACT YOU JUST DID TO REPRESENT TO THE WORLD?
>> I WANT IT TO REPRESENT THE MEANING OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE
LIMITLESS. THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO ARE --
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO CAP TO IT. THERE'S NO CEILING.
IT DOESN'T EXIST. >> Terry: NO EXCUSES.

THIS SERIOUSLY, THEN WE QUIT. >> COME ON, LET'S GO.
>> SIMON. >> GIGI, IF YOU COULD FIND ME
SOME MORE YELLOW MOUTHWASH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THEY'LL BE BACK. >> I GUESS IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY

RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT YOURSELF.
* YOU SAY THE PRICE OF MY LOVE'S NOT A PRICE THAT YOU'RE WILLING
TO PAY * * WHY SO SAD *

THE LATIN FLAVOR CHANGED THE WHOLE --
>> Simon: OH, RIGHT. >> Sofia: IT BECAME --
>> Terry: HEIDI, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THIS?
>> Heidi: I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.
NOT THAT I EVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE A DUET WITH SIMON AND SOFIA.
SINCE I NEVER SHOWED UP, I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKED IT.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: TWO THOUGHTS.
I DON'T THINK GIVING RED BUZZERS AT THIS POINT IN THE CONTEST IS
APPROPRIATE. >> Terry: WAIT A MINUTE.
NO. WHAT?
>> Howie: NUMBER TWO -- >> Sofia: BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ON
THAT SHOW. >> Howie: ALSO, I WAS LOOKING AT
YOU SIMON. YOUR LIPS WERE MOVING THE WHOLE
TIME. I SAW THEIR LIPS MOVING.
>> Terry: PUPPET SIMON, ISN'T THERE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
WITH YOU BEING ON YOUR OWN SHOW? >> OF COURSE NOT.
IT'S AMAZING IF I GET TO JUDGE AND BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, EVERYBODY.
LISTEN, ONLY TWO ACTS CAN GO THROUGH THIS WEEK.

>> Terry: MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS ACT.
HE'S A FISHERMAN FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
HIS AUDITION HAD OVER 75 MILLION VIEWS.
FROM FISHERMAN TO SINGING ON THE "AGT" STAGE, HERE'S ROLAND
ABANTE. >> MY DAILY ROUTINE IS FROM 5:00
IN THE MORNING UNTIL 8:00 IN THE EVENING FISHING TO DRIVING A
TRICYCLE. IF YOU DON'T WORK, YOU CAN'T
FEED YOUR FAMILY. IT NEVER CAME INTO MY MIND THAT
SINGING WOULD TAKE ME TO "AGT." >> THIS IS MY DREAM.
>> AFTER THE AUDITION, MY VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE HAVE
MILLIONS OF VIEWS. THEY WERE SO PROUD OF ME.
EVERYONE WAS RALLYING TO HELP ME OUT.
THEY PROVIDED A ROOF. THEY PROVIDED A WALL.
THEY PROVIDED ELECTRICITY. FOR THE FIRST TIME I CELEBRATED
MY BIRTHDAY. IT'S VERY -- IT'S VERY -- I'M
HAPPY. I FEEL LIKE THE PRESSURE IS ON
ME TOO BECAUSE I'M NOT JUST BRINGING ROLAND ABANTE.
I'M BRINGING THE NAME OF THE WHOLE PHILIPPINES.
MY FIRST AUDITION I SANG MICHAEL BOLTON.
THIS TIME I WANT TO DO A DIFFERENT ASPECT IN MY ABILITY
TO SING. IF I WIN THIS $1 MILLION, THIS
IS GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE UPSIDE DOWN.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * IF I SHOULD STAY *
* I WOULD ONLY BE IN YOUR WAY * * SO I GO, BUT I KNOW *
* I'LL THINK OF YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY *
* AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU * * I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU *
* I HOPE LIFE TREATS YOU KIND * * AND I HOPE YOU HAVE ALL DREAM
OF * * AND I WISH YOU JOY AND
HAPPINESS * * BUT ABOVE ALL THIS I WISH YOU
LOVE * * AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU *
* I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU * * I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU *
* AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU * * I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ROLAND ABANTE.
SOFIA, YOU WERE ON YOUR FEET. >> Sofia: ROLAND, BRAVO!
I MEAN, LOOK AT EVERYONE HERE. THEY'RE GOING CRAZY FOR YOU.
I KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU, YOUR AUDITION.
PEOPLE LOVE YOU. IT'S AMAZING.
COMING FROM YOUR COUNTRY, FROM KARAOKE -- GOOD JOB TONIGHT.
YOU'RE AMAZING. YOU DESERVE TO BE ON "AGT."
>> Terry: SIMON, YOU LIKED THAT, HUH?
>> Simon: NO. [AUDIENCE BOOS]
>> Simon: I LOVED IT. HOW COULD YOU NOT?
I MEAN, AFTER -- PARTICULARLY WHEN I SAW THE FILM AND WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER THE AUDITION AND HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO YOU AND,
YOU KNOW, YOU ARE SINGING YOUR LIFE OUT ON THE STAGE THERE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS COMPETITION EXCITING.
PEOPLE WHO COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO KIND OF FULFILL
THEIR DREAMS. I THINK AMERICA -- I KNOW
AMERICA LOVES YOU AND RIGHTLY SO.
>> THANK YOU, SIMON. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: OH, THE PERFECT SONG, THE PERFECT VOICE.
IT WAS SPECTACULAR. YOU KNOW, YOU SAID I WILL ALWAYS
LOVE YOU. I THINK YOU JUST MADE EVERYONE
IN THE WORLD LOVE YOU. IT WAS MEMORABLE.
THEY'VE GOT TO VOTE FOR YOU. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE
PERFORMANCE OF A FINAL. >> Terry: HEIDI, HOW MUCH DO YOU
LOVE HIM? >> Heidi: I LOVE HIM.
YOUR VOICE HAS SO MUCH GRIT, TEXTURE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF TONIGHT.
IF THERE WAS ANOTHER GOLDEN BUZZER TO PUSH YOU TO THE
FINALE, I WOULD PUSH THAT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, ROLAND.
LISTEN, THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO VOTE, AND YOU CAN VOTE A LOT.
SO GO GET BUSY. STILL TO COME, THIS DANCER WILL
BE BRINGING HER UNIQUE DANCE STYLE TO THE STAGE ON WHAT IS A
VERY SPECIAL DAY. FIND OUT WHY, AFTER THE BREAK.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: THIS DANCER FROM MEXICO IS 15 -- TODAY.
YEP, IT'S HER BIRTHDAY, AND WHAT A DAY TO TRY AND MAKE YOUR
DREAMS COME TRUE. SHE'S A DANCER WHO TRANSFORMS
FROM BEING SWEET TO TERRIFYING WHEN SHE PERFORMS.
SHE IS MARIANDREA. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> WELL, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SPENDING MY BIRTHDAY DANCING ON
"AGT." THE BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT I COULD
GET. WHEN I STARTED DANCING WHEN I
WAS 4 YEARS OLD. WHEN I'M NOT DANCING, ME AND MY
FRIENDS SOMETHING WE DO A LOT IS COOKING.
WE DO THESE TIKTOK TRENDS AND WE SELL WHAT WE BAKE.
I'M JUST A NORMAL GIRL FROM A SMALL TOWN IN MEXICO.
I HAVE THIS CRAZY IMAGINATION THAT I WANT TO SHARE.
>> Heidi: YOU LOOK LIKE THIS CUTE GIRL AND THEN ALL OF A
SUDDEN SHE'S POSSESSED. >> WHAT I LOVE ABOUT DANCE IS IT
ALLOWS ME TO BRING MY IMAGINATION TO LIFE.
I LOVE SHOCKING PEOPLE. TONIGHT THE GOAL IS TO BECOME
SOME PEOPLE'S NIGHTMARES. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO CHOOSE THE
RIGHT SONG. I JUST CAME UP WITH THE IDEA
FIVE DAYS AGO. I'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD
EVERY DAY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD THAT MUCH TIME.
I WANT TO BE THE FIRST LATINO WOMAN TO WIN "AGT."
I PRACTICE WHAT I WOULD SAY OR WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WON.
YEAH, I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT GETTING INTO THE "AGT" FINALS WILL HELP ME ACHIEVE MY
DREAM OF BEING A PROFESSIONAL DANCER.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
** **
>> Terry: MARIANDREA. SIMON?
>> Simon: HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I THINK YOU'RE REALLY
INTERESTING. MY ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT WAS I
LIKED IT WHEN YOU WERE REALLY, REALLY SCARY IN THE AUDITION.
YOU KNOW LIKE IN A HORROR MOVIE WHEN SOMEBODY GETS POSSESSED AND
ALL THE CRAZY STUFF HAPPENS. I DON'T THINK WE SAW ENOUGH OF
THAT TONIGHT COMPARED TO THE FIRST AUDITION.
[AUDIENCE BOOS] >> Simon: OH, SHUT UP.
HAVING SAID THAT, 15, YOU FILLED THE STAGE.
GOOD FOR YOU. >> Howie: THAT WAS NOT SCARY FOR
YOU? THAT'S A NORMAL 15-YEAR-OLD
GIRL? >> Terry: WAS IT SCARY, HEIDI?
>> Heidi: IT'S SCARY. YOU'RE VERY POWERFUL ON THAT
STAGE. I THINK YOU'RE INCREDIBLE.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. >> Terry: HOWIE, YOU LIKED IT.
>> Howie: YOU WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING.
>> Sofia: I THOUGHT SHE LOOKED POSSESSED ENOUGH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS. I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT.
[ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ]
>> Howie: I JUST WANT TO SAY WHAT I HAVE IN MY HEAD FOR A
15-YEAR-OLD LITTLE GIRL'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, THIS WAS THE
SCARIEST BIRTHDAY PARTY I'VE EVER BEEN INVITED TO.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: HAPPY BIRTHDAY. WHO INSPIRES YOU?
>> MY MOM IS MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION.
>> Terry: SO GREAT. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS A BIRTHDAY MARIANDREA WILL NEVER
FORGET? JUST TWO ACTS CAN GO INTO THE
FINALS. IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: COMING UP -- >> Heidi: I LIKE YOU.
THE WHOLE LOOK AND SOUND, EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FOR ME.
>> I STOPPED I.S.I.S. *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: DO YOU WANT TO SEE
60 MINUTES OF HAND-SWEATING, HEART-RACING, STOMACH-CHURNING
PANIC? YEAH, YOU DO.
WELL, THE ACTS WILL GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT WHEN WE REVEAL THE
TWO GOING INTO THE FINALS TOMORROW.
AND RETURNING TO THE "AGT" STAGE IS OUR INCREDIBLE SINGER
DRAKE MILLIGAN FROM LAST SEASON. HE FINISHED TOP THREE AND HIS
CAREER HAS GONE INTERSTELLAR. THAT'S ALL WEDNESDAY AT 8:00.
NOW, THIS COUNTRY SINGER GREW UP IN THE WORLD OF RODEO, SO SHE
LIVES AND BREATHES COUNTRY. AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE, HER LIFE
HAS ALREADY TOTALLY CHANGED SINCE HER AUDITION.
FROM OPELOUSAS, LOUISIANA, SHE'S KYLIE FREY.
>> THE FIRST SONG THAT I WROTE WAS ABOUT MY SISTER.
WE GOT IN A FIGHT OVER HOT POCKETS.
WHEN I DID MY AUDITION, I WAS SO NERVOUS.
* ON THE OTHER SIDE * >> Simon: I THINK YOU'RE A GREAT
WRITER. >> SIMON COWELL SAID HE LOVED ME
AS A SONG WRITER. THAT MEANT THE WORLD.
LIFE SINCE "AGT" HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.
ONE CASUAL TWEET WAS SENT OUT BY MS. REBA McINTYRE.
REBA'S RECORDED ONE OF MY SONGS. I THINK I CRIED FOR A WEEK.
SHE'S HAD THIS MASSIVE CAREER, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD
GET BIGGER, BUT I DREAM THAT BIG.
FOR THIS PERFORMANCE I'M GOING TO BE SINGING ANOTHER ONE OF MY
ORIGINALS. IT TOOK A MINUTE TO CHOOSE THE
RIGHT ORIGINAL FOR TONIGHT, BUT I TOOK TO HEART WHAT HOWIE SAID.
>> Howie: IF I HEAR A SONG I HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE, YOU WANT
IT STUCK IN MY HEAD. IT'S NOT STUCK IN MY HEAD.
>> I'VE CHOSEN A SONG WITH A CATCHY HOOK.
I'M HERE TO GIVE A TASTE WHAT THE KYLIE FREY SHOW WOULD BE
LIKE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A BEAR, BE
A GRIZZLY. I DON'T DO THINGS HALFWAY.
I'M HERE TO WIN. **
* BACK UP YOUR MUSTANG *

* YEAH * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: KYLIE FREY. HOWIE, IS THAT SONG STUCK IN
YOUR HEAD? >> Howie: I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.
FOR ME PERSONALLY THAT WAS A BETTER SONG.
FOR ME PERSONALLY I LIKED THAT SONG BETTER THAN YOUR FIRST
AUDITION. I WILL SAY THIS PERFORMANCE
IS -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE OUT OF BREATH OR -- I WAS
MISSING -- I WOULD HEAR YOU AND THEN YOUR VOICE WOULD --
[AUDIENCE BOOS] -- FADE AWAY.
>> I WAS JUST HAVING FUN, MAN. >> Howie: I KNOW YOU WERE HAVING
FUN. AS A PERFORMER, THIS WAS A LIVE
PERFORMANCE, I THINK YOU OVERDID IT.
I WAS MISSING LYRICS. >> Heidi: I THINK YOU HAVE GREAT
STAGE PRESENCE. I LIKE THAT YOU TURNED THE
SPARKLE UP A LITTLE BIT FROM LAST TIME.
YOU'RE TRUE TO BEING BAREFOOT ON THE STAGE.
TO ME YOU LOOKED VERY HOT AND COMFORTABLE UP THERE.
EVERYONE SEEMED TO LIKE IT IN HERE TOO.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I THINK YOU LOOKED
WONDERFUL. I THINK YOUR SHOW WAS A LOT OF
ENERGY AND YOU LOOKED SO COMFORTABLE UP THERE.
THERE WAS SOMETHING HAPPENING WITH YOUR VOICE.
I DON'T KNOW -- >> Simon: SHE WAS SINGING.
>> Sofia: IT'S EITHER SHE WAS -- SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING.
IT HAPPENED TO ME. WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.
WE COULDN'T HEAR HALF THE THING. YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE HAVING
THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE. [AUDIENCE BOOS]
>> I WAS THANK YOU. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: WE REALLY LIKED YOU FROM YOUR FIRST AUDITION.
YOU'VE GOT A GREAT PERSONALITY. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO REALLY LIKE YOU. I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THE ENERGY.
HOWEVER, I THINK YOU WERE TRYING TO DO SO MUCH.
IT WAS LIKE A MANIC MESS. [AUDIENCE BOOS]
LOOK, IT MIGHT SEND BETTER WATCHING AT HOME ON TV.
WHERE I WAS SITTING IT WAS LIKE, WHOA, THERE WAS SOME NOTES THAT
DIDN'T SOUND IN TUNE, BUT -- [AUDIENCE BOOS]
I CAN ONLY TELL YOU HOW I FELT. >> Terry: KYLIE, FIRST OF ALL,
THE JUDGES WERE SPLIT WHEN YOU WERE HERE LAST TIME.
THEY SEEM TO BE SPLIT RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TELL AMERICA
TO GET THEM TO VOTE FOR YOU? >> I'M SO HAPPY TO BE UP HERE.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME. IF NOT, COME SEE ME AT A LIVE
SHOW BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, KYLIE.
YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN PUT ACTS INTO THE FINALS THIS
WEEK. SO DON'T BE COMPLAINING IF YOUR
FAVORITES DON'T GET THROUGH. VOTE.

OKAY. AS WE ALL KNOW BY NOW, VERY
OCCASIONALLY, THE JUDGES DISAGREE ON SOMETHING.

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: I WAS SO HAPPY FOR ALL

YOU'RE VERY STYLISH. THE MUSIC CHOICE WAS AMAZING.
I REALLY LIKE YOU. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ACTS
WE'VE SEEN THIS YEAR. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: BY FAR THE BEST ACT OF THE NIGHT.

COMING UP -- >> WE REPRESENT FOLKS.
>> Heidi: YOU HAVE A POWERFUL VOICE, POWERFUL MESSAGE.
>> Simon: THIS WAS A REALLY SPECIAL AUDITION.
IT'S ORIGINAL. KIDS ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS.
>> Heidi: I CAN DO
This act has literally come from the streets to the AGT stage.
They are living proof that there is real talent everywhere
in our world and that light can can and will burn brightly if
given half a chance from Los Angeles California.
Here's the freedom sing
and play with City single for three years now
I was living on the sidewalk and intent.
More than just an l.a. problem. It's a national problem and you
have given it a voice.
Let's go up that America gets to see the underside of skid
row because all they see is the people sleeping on
the sidewalks.
They don't get to see the beauty
and there's a lot of beauty there. This was a really
special edition, I loved it.
The big dream for the group is to continue to make music that
unites people
because we believe that music is healing. I think this is
the song for real.
It's got our message, beautiful harmonies.
And so, come on
people. Don't expect Excellence coming from Skid Row, but we've
been working so hard for this moment. We got all that time.
So if we say, we gonna practice all night, I'm
so important that we do crust with our performance because
winning America's Got Talent would literally be life
changing
individually. I think we're all pretty exceptional, but
together
is, when we really shine,
She calls out
to the man whom Street.
So
can you help me?
It's cold and I'm no way. Sleep
is there somewhere.
Don't
tell me.
They two eyes,
just another day for you and me
Paradise,
to just another day for you,
you know?
To the mayor.
He can see, she's been crying.
She's got blisters on the sides of her feet.
She can't walk but she's trying,
it's just
Just think about it.
That I liked you during the auditions. And I loved you
tonight,
that was Perfection that outfit. The voice is this song.
You look like you took your time that you rehearse that you
prepare. I mean I think America is gonna love you too.
And I want them to vote for you
Simon. This was a massive. Massive massive step up from
your first audition. Yeah, I know, I should be judging
a group but the lady who started the song. What's your name
Michaela? Whoa, yeah.
That was the vocal was extraordinary and then you came
together as a group. I thought the arrangement on the song was
outstanding,
your message is really important. I really hope
America Gets behind you. Yeah,
you know
the name of the show America's Got Talent and some of that
talent in America is unhoused and we walk by these tents and
we walk by these people and it's
Like this them and us and just to hear you and to see you, we
realize you are us. This is so relatable, this is so hard.
And if you want to help help yourself, we have to help ourselves
at by helping you.
You are so wonderful. You're Heroes. Thank you for being here.
Another favorite moment of mine tonight.
I love every one of you. You sounded amazing every one of
you, but I do have to give kudos to See you in the middle.
I mean your voice is just so
incredible,
Freedom, singers, you guys have been through. So so much
tell me what is it like being here, is this like paradise
performing on a GT line. This is definitely Paradise
performing on a GT live. What will say to America is? Don't
look away.
That Society is better when everyone is housed. Art has no
address.
Did they move you do? They deserve a spot in the finals
with the answer is yes, vote form.
Keep their mission and their dream alive.
Let's keep it going.
Competing on a GT is
I mean, it's tough
when you audition, you have no idea what or who you're up
against. But man, this stand-up comic. Totally seize the day
when his chance came from Miami Florida.
Here's Orlando, labor.
Hey, where are you going? Lando, JoJo's only clearly says
do not enter. Oh, you're going to get eliminated from the show
before it even starts
on the day of my audition. I was really excited. I was in
the zone.
But right before me happens to be the Masala tea youth choir.
I don't know. If you saw that audition, everybody's crying
Simon Cowell.
It was actually shooting out of his eyes and they hit
the golden. Sir. And then Terry comes back next to me and they
say
no you go, let's go it's time.
Yeah
but even though I didn't get a golden Buzzard just being on
a GT. Feels like I got a golden buzzer, Sofia Vergara be
Michael
13 years ago. I cashed in my 401k
and started becoming a stand-up comic and now we're here to
the subway the part where you're tripping up 20 years, right?
Every five actually, during my audition, my set was all about
storytelling this time around. It's all about jokes,
lots of jokes. You got this the comics get close but they never
win America's Got Talent. I'm shooting for that. Win for me
for my family
man. I would love to see. Simon lose it laughing
and just have one. Tier 1, tier,
let's go. I'm not this is an exciting. This is
a happiness and Eichmann. Will your shot at the finals? Comes
LEYBA. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> OKAY, OKAY.
WELL, I'M GLAD THEY SHUT DOWN THAT MUSIC, A CARNIVAL WAS ABOUT
TO START. WELCOME, EVERYBODY.
I'M ORLANDO. I'M HAPPILY MARRIED 20 YEARS.
20 YEARS MARRIED, GUYS. YEAH.
SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND. IS SHE?
IS SHE MY BEST FRIEND? JASON WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
I HAVEN'T SEEN JASON IN 20 YEARS.
NO, I HAVEN'T. I SHOULD SEND HIM A TEXT.
WE DATED FOR FIVE AND WE'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 15 WHERE SHE CAN GET
HALF. SO, YEAH, IT WAS A LEASE WITH AN
OPTION TO BUY. SHE BOUGHT IT.
HOPEFULLY IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT.
LET'S SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.
20 YEARS, GUYS. 20 YEARS IN THE SAME SPOT.
DON'T GET ME WRONG. I GET INVITED TO OTHER SPOTS ALL
THE TIME, YEAH. BECAUSE I'M ADORABLE.
I ALWAYS TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE I LOVE MY SPOT.
I'M LOYAL. YES, I'M LOYAL.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] AND I'M NOT GOOD AT
MULTI-TASKING. I'M NOT.
I'M NOT GOOD AT MULTI-TASKING. IT'S A LOT OF WORK TAKING OUT
THE TRASH AT TWO DIFFERENT HOUSES.
FIXING THE TOILET AT TWO DIFFERENT HOUSES.
SEEING THE SAME MOVIE TWICE PRETENDING I DON'T KNOW THE
ENDED. I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT.
YES, I WAS. WE JUST FIGURED THAT OUT
TOGETHER. MY LAZINESS KEEPS ME LOYAL.
SHE'S NO LONGER ALLOWED TO
COMPLAIN, YOU'RE SO LAZY. YOU BETTER THANK GOD.
WHENEVER YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ME, WHERE AM I?
I'M RIGHT THERE. I'M EITHER ON THE COUCH OR ON
THE STAGE. SIDE NOTE.
IF YOUR HUSBAND IS VERY BUSY, KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.
LITTLE BIT SUSPECT. I DON'T TRUST MARRIED DUDES WHO
WORK OUT AND HAVE A SIX PACK. WHY?
WHY DO YOU HAVE A SIX PACK? WHO ARE YOU, TERRY CREWS?
NO, YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE NOT.
HE'S ON TV. YOU WORK IN I.T.
NO. THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS.
THAT'S NOT NATURAL. THE WAY IT WORKS IS YOU SAY I DO
AND POOF YOU GET A LITTLE BELLY. THIS BELLY ISN'T EVEN FOR ME.
THIS BELLY'S FOR HER. SHE HAS A BAD DAY AT WORK, SHE
REST HER HEAD ON MY BELLY. THEY DIDN'T INVITE YOU TO LUNCH?
FORGET THOSE LADIES. TEAM US.

IN THE PACKAGE YOU SAID I'M GOING TO THROW THEM OUT THERE.
YOU THREW OUT A MILLION PITCHES AND EVERY ONE WAS A HOPE RUN.
>> Terry: SIMON, DO YOU AGREE? >> Simon: I DO.
I SAID THIS BEFORE, TERRY. THE COMEDIANS HAVE THE HARDEST
TIME. YOU HAVE TO FEED OFF THE
AUDIENCE. IF THEY'RE NOT LAUGHING, IT'S A
NIGHTMARE. THEY WERE LAUGHING.
YOU'RE NATURALLY FUNNY. YOUR MATERIAL WAS GREAT.
>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: I THINK PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO REALLY LIKE YOU. I LIKE YOU.

THE HOUSE. >> Terry: SOMEBODY'S GETTING
LUCKY TONIGHT. GOOD LUCK, ORLANDO.
LISTEN, HOW YOU VOTE TONIGHT CAN CHANGE LIVES.
PUT YOUR FAVORITES INTO THE FINALS.
COMING UP, AN EXTRAORDINARY CARD ARTIST AND MAGICIAN FACES THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF HER LIFE. CAN SHE PULL IT OFF?
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: JUDGES, YOU'RE ALL IN THE NEXT PERFORMANCE.
HEAD ON UP TO THE STAGE. BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, THE
GREATEST ACTS FROM THE HISTORY OF "AGT" ARE STARRING IN THE

IS THE CLOSE-UP ART OF MYSTERIOUSLY MANIPULATING
PLAYING CARDS -- AND THE RESULT IS PURE MAGIC.
FROM NEW JERSEY, HERE'S ANNA DeGUZMAN.
>> IT'S WHEN YOU SEE CARDS MOVE AND DANCE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS COOLER THAN ANY MAGIC I'VE EVER SEEN.
I BECAME OBSESSED. THAT'S HOW I DISCOVERED THIS IS
WHAT I'M MEANT TO DO. >> COULD YOU HOLD ON TO THAT?
>> I'M HERE TO INSPIRE MORE GIRLS.
I DIDN'T HAVE A FEMALE ROLE MODEL WHEN I STARTED.
THAT WAS THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER DONE.
EVERYTHING WENT PERFECTLY. >> I DID NOT THINK IT WAS GOING
TO WORK. >> I WAS JUST AS SHOCKED AS
EVERYONE ELSE. IT WAS THIS THING I HAD BUILT UP
FOR SO MANY YEARS. I FINALLY DID IT.
EVER SINCE MY AUDITION, EVERY EX HAS HIT ME UP.
MY MOM IS GOING TO SEE THIS AND BE LIKE, WHICH ONE?
MY MOM, SHE'S WHY I DO ALL OF THIS.
MY MOM RAISED ME BY HERSELF AND WORKED REALLY HARD TO GIVE ME
THE BEST SHE COULD. NOW I WANT TO WIN "AGT" SO I CAN
GIVE BACK TO HER. I'M THE FIRST FEMALE CLOSE-UP
MAGICIAN IN THE HISTORY OF "AGT" TO MAKE IT TO THE LIVE SHOWS.
TONIGHT I'M GOING TO BE DOING SOMETHING WITH ALL THE JUDGES
THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE ON LIVE TV.
THIS IS MY ONE SHOT TO GET INTO THE FINALS AND I'M NOT GOING TO
LET IT SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> "AGT," I BROUGHT US A SPECIAL TREAT TONIGHT TO THANK YOU ALL
FOR GIVING ME ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT I LOVE.
HI. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
WHAT I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ABOUT MAGIC IS THE ELEMENT OF
SURPRISE. THANK YOU, HOWIE.
JUDGES, AS THE CARDS PASS BY YOUR FACE, CERTAIN ONES MIGHT
POP OUT TO YOU MORE THAN OTHERS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTICE THEY'RE
ALL MIXED. WE NEED EACH OF YOU TO TAKE ONE.
PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR OWN. >> Simon: DO I JUST TAKE IT OUT?
>> TAKE ONE. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
SOFIA, HERE. DON'T SHOW ME.
YES. ONCE YOU HAVE IT MEMORIZED,
PLACE IT BACK ANYWHERE YOU WANT IN THE PACK.
EXCEPT FOR YOU, HOWIE. >> Howie: EXCEPT ME?
>> JUST REMEMBER YOUR CARD. YOU HAVE ONE JOB.
HOWIE, MY MOM LOVES YOU. >> Howie: I LOVE YOUR MOM.
>> I THINK SHE LIKES YOUR HAIR. >> Howie: LESS IS MORE.
I PROMISED HER IF I MADE THE LIVE SHOWS, I WOULD GET YOUR
AUTOGRAPH. PLEASE SIGN THE FACE OF YOUR
CARD. MAKE IT UNIQUE AND SHOW
EVERYBODY. >> Howie: MAKE IT UNIQUE?
>> YES. >> Howie: LIKE ADD SOMETHING?
>> YEAH, WHATEVER YOU WANT. SHOW EVERYBODY.
>> Howie: SHOW EVERYONE? >> YES.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Howie: THANK YOU.
>> I JUST GET TO LOOK AT SOFIA ALL DAY.
PUT IT BACK IN WITH THE REST OF THEM.
THANK YOU. ALL FOUR CARDS COMPLETELY LOST.
LET'S START WITH YOURS, SIMON. ONE CARD APPEARS AT MY
FINGERTIPS.
WHAT WAS YOUR CARD? >> Simon: SEVEN OF CLUBS.
I'M KIDDING. THREE OF DIAMONDS.
>> THAT WAS EASY. THERE YOU GO.
MY GOSH, YOU'RE TERRIFYING. SOFIA, YOU'RE NEXT.
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR CARD? >> Sofia: YEAH.
>> WHAT WAS IT? >> Sofia: DO I SAY IT?
[ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ]
I DON'T REMEMBER IN ENGLISH. >> YOU'RE SO PRETTY.
>> Sofia: THE SHAMROCK. >> Simon: ACE OF SPADES.
>> NOT THE QUEEN? LIKE THIS?
>> Simon: I GOT IT WRONG. IT WAS THE ACE OF CLUBS.
[ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ]
>> HEIDI, I WON'T EVEN USE MY HANDS FOR THIS.
>> Howie: NO. >> Heidi: DON'T YOU WANT TO PULL
IT OUT? >> Howie: NO.
>> WHAT WAS YOUR CARD? >> Heidi: IT WAS THE QUEEN OF
HEARTS. >> SHOW EVERYBODY THE QUEEN OF
HEARTS. >> Heidi: IT IS THE QUEEN OF
HEARTS. >> Howie: THEY CALL THAT THE
QUEEN OF COVID. >> NOW IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO
FIND YOUR CARD, HOWIE. >> Howie: I DON'T WANT TO PULL
IT OUT OF ANYTHING. >> I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BECAUSE
THEY'RE ALL GONE. >> Howie: THEY'RE BLANK.
>> FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME NAME YOUR CARD OUT LOUD.
>> Howie: IT WAS THE SEVEN OF CLUBS.
SEVEN OF SPADES. >> ONE JOB.
THEY HAD ONE JOB. THEY JUST HAD TO REMEMBER THE
CARD. >> Howie: IT'S THE SEVEN OF
SPADES. IT SAYS HOWIE AND I MADE A STAR.
>> HOWIE, WHEN I FIND YOUR CARD, WE'RE ALL GOING TO CELEBRATE.
WHAT DOES EVERY CELEBRATION NEED?
A CAKE. EVERYONE HERE LOVES CAKE, RIGHT?
JUDGES, YOU LOVE CAKE? WELL, THIS CAKE WAS MADE WITH
LOVE. OUT OF ALL THE CARDS YOU COULD
HAVE CHOSEN TONIGHT, IT WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN EXACTLY THIS WAY
BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW RANDOM THE CARDS MAY APPEAR, WHEN LIFE
DEALS YOU A TOUGH HAND, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR
PERSPECTIVE AND REVEAL THE MAGIC IN EVERYTHING BECAUSE SIMON,
THAT'S YOUR THREE. SOFIA, THE ACE.
THE QUEEN FOR THE QUEEN HEIDI AND HOWIE, THAT'S YOUR SEVEN.
>> Howie: THAT'S MY SEVEN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> BUT WAIT. YOU'RE REALLY ALL GOING TO LOVE
THIS. >> Sofia: OH, NO.
>> HOWIE, IS THAT YOUR ONE OF A KIND CARD?
IS IT REALLY? >> Howie: OH, MY GOD THIS IS IT.
HOWIE WITH THE STAR. NO!
>> THANK YOU, AMERICA, FOR MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A WINNER
ALREADY. I LOVE YOU.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, JUDGES.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ANNA DeGUZMAN.
THANK YOU, JUDGES. HOWIE, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> Howie: WOW. SHE --
>> YOU DON'T WANT IT. >> Howie: I DON'T WANT IT.
I DON'T WANT IT. I LOVE WHAT YOU DID.
YOU'RE ADORABLE. I LOVE YOUR PRESENTATION.
I LOVE YOUR MOTHER. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS
ABOUT ME, I'M LACTOSE INTOLERANT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH THAT. >> Terry: HEIDI?
>> Heidi: WE NEED MORE FEMALE MAGICIANS, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.
I ALSO HAVE TO SAY IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU DID THIS BECAUSE YOU
WERE SO INCREDIBLY NERVOUS. I COULD SEE YOUR HANDS.
YOU WERE INCREDIBLE. I ALSO LOVE THE WAY YOU SPOKE.
YOU KEPT US ENGAGED. I REALLY LIKE YOU.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: IT WAS SUPER FUN TO BE
THERE WITH YOU, TO SEE WHAT YOU WERE DOING.
YOU STARTED SUPER NERVOUS, BUT THEN YOU STARTING EASING INTO
IT. YOUR PERSONALITY WAS SHOWING.
I THINK YOU HAVE A BIG CAREER AHEAD OF YOU.
>> Terry: QUICK COMMENT. >> Simon: I AGREE WITH
EVERYTHING, ANNA. I LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY.
YOU CHOSE THE WORST ASSISTANTS ON THE PLANET AND STILL WERE
BRILLIANT.
YOU REALLY DESERVE THIS SHOT. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
ANNA. DO YOU WANT ANNA TO WAKE UP WITH
THE BIGGEST SMILE ON THURSDAY MORNING?
THEN PUT HER INTO THE FINALS BY VOTING TONIGHT.
>>> COMING UP -- >> Simon: YOU HAVE SUCH A
DISTINCTIVE GREAT VOICE. >> THANK YOU.
>> I'M GOING TO REVIVE SHADOW ART.
>> Heidi: SHE'S SHAVING HER >> Terry: NOW, THIS SINGER HAS
BEEN PERFORMING FOR ALMOST HIS WHOLE LIFE.
MIND YOU, HE'S ONLY 11, BUT HE'S BEEN SINGING SINCE HE WAS THREE.
HIS DREAM IS TO APPEAR IN "WICKED" OR "HAMILTON" ON
BROADWAY AND TO WIN "AGT." FROM LOUISVILLE,
HERE'S D'COREY JOHNSON. >> YOU CAN LISTEN TO HOWIE.
YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO ME. >> MY DREAMS ARE TO BE ON
BROADWAY. I DON'T WANT THE SONG TO BE TOO
BROADWAYISH. I WANT IT TO BE MY WAY.
THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME. IT'S RIGHT IN MY RANGE.
TONIGHT VOCALLY I'M TAKING MORE RISKS.
IT HAS A HIGHER RANGE AND MORE RUNS IN IT.
I AM SO EXCITED. I HOPE, HOPE, HOPE, HOPE AMERICA
VOTES FOR ME. * I'M WISHING ON A STAR *
* TO FOLLOW WHERE YOU ARE * * I'M WISHING ON A DREAM *

YOU TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Terry: SIMON, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> Simon: THEY ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU TONIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE
ADORABLE. YOU'VE GOT THE BEST PERSONALITY.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW WHO YOU WANT TO BE AS AN ARTIST
IN YEARS TO COME, OR NOW ACTUALLY.
YOU CONTROLLED THE SONG. IT WAS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY
GOOD. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT
WE LOOK FOR AT THIS POINT IN THE COMPETITION.
WE WANT YOU TO RAISE THE BAR. I THINK YOU WENT UP NINE LEVELS.
>> THANK YOU. >> Howie: YOU DID LISTEN TO ME.
THIS WAS MUCH LESS OVER THE TOP AND IT FELT SO NATURAL.
YOU LOOKED COMFORTABLE. I HOPE YOU GET A VOTE.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: D'COREY, WHO OR WHAT
INSPIRES YOU? >> SO I WANT TO SAY THE REASON
WHY I SUNG THIS SONG WAS BECAUSE OF MY SISTER.
SHE HAS BEEN SICK FOR 14 YEARS. SHE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL. I TRY MY BEST NOT TO CRY.
WHEN I WAS HERE, SHE HAD WENT IN THE HOSPITAL.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF SHE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TODAY.
SHE'S IN THE AUDIENCE. SHE'S HEALTHY.
>> Terry: ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, D'COREY.
TWO OF THIS WEEK'S ACTS WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK IN THE
FINALS. BUT WHICH TWO?
YOU TELL US. GO VOTE.
HERE'S OUR LAST ACT OF THE NIGHT.
THIS PERFORMER GREW UP WITH NO ELECTRICITY, JUST A SIMPLE
CANDLE. WHAT DID HE DO?
HE MADE SHADOW PUPPETS. HE IS SO GOOD AT IT, HIS
AUDITION HAD AN INCREDIBLE 213 MILLION VIEWS.
FROM THE PHILIPPINES, HERE'S SHADOW ICE.
>> WHEN I WAS A KID, WE DON'T HAVE ELECTRIC POWER IN OUR
HOUSE. WE DON'T HAVE TELEVISION.
WE JUST HAVE THIS CANDLE. SINCE I WAS REALLY BORED, I MAKE
HAND SHADOWS ON OUR WALLS. BECAUSE OF MY IMAGINATION, I
LOVE IT. NOW IT'S MY PASSION.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK HAND SHADOW PUPPETS ARE JUST FOR
KIDS. I CAME TO "AGT" TO SEE IF THIS
WAS A TALENT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE. >> Simon: A LOT OF THESE SHADOW
ACTS CAN BE QUITE BORING. THAT WAS THE OPPOSITE.
IT'S FUN. IT'S ORIGINAL.
ALL THE THINGS I LOVE. >> I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION
YEARS THAT THIS WOULD BE A CAREER FOR ME.
NOW I'M HERE. >> YOU'RE THE NUMBER ONE MOST
VIRAL VIDEO. >> OH, MY GOD.
I DIDN'T KNOW. MY VIDEO, IT'S CRAZY.
NOW THIS TIME I HAVE TO BE BETTER, MORE FUN, A REALLY BIG
SHOW. THIS IS FOR THE BIG DECISION.
I'M NERVOUS. I WANT TO WIN "AGT" SO BAD
BECAUSE MY BIGGEST DREAM IS TO DO SHADOW ART IN LAS VEGAS.
THAT WHAT I LOVE. I HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT.
I HAVE TO WIN. >> Terry: AFTER THE BREAK,
SHADOW ICE HAS JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO BLOW YOUR MINDS USING
HIS HANDS AND A LIGHT. THE CREW HAS JUST A FEW MINUTES
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: AMERICA, GIVE IT UP FOR SHADOW ACE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Simon: DIDN'T HAVE THE WOW
FACTOR. GOOD NIGHT.
IT'S A NO.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: SHADOW ACE, WOW.
SIMON, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET, MAN. YOU LOVED THAT.
>> Simon: OH MY GOODNESS. WOW, WHAT A NIGHT.
WHAT A WAY TO FINISH BECAUSE I WAS -- I WAS THINKING ABOUT
HOW'S THIS GOING TO PLAY IN THE FINALS.
ACTUALLY IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIME WE SAW YOU.
I MEAN, EVERYONE IS GOING TO LOVE THAT AUDITION I THINK.
I MEAN, EVERYONE. >> Howie: YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> Terry: SOFIA, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> Sofia: I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD WATCH IT FOREVER YOU DOING
THIS THING WITH YOUR HAND. I NEVER THOUGHT I REALLY LIKED
THIS, BUT I LOVED IT. YOU ARE SO CREATIVE.
I THINK YOU'RE PERFECT FOR "AGT."
I THINK YOU COULD ACTUALLY WIN. >> Terry: HEIDI?
>> Heidi: IT'S SO SIMPLE IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, BUT IT IS SO
CREATIVE. IT'S SO GOOD.
WELL DONE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: FIRST OF ALL, THIS
AUDITION -- THIS WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOUR ORIGINAL
AUDITION AND I LOVED THE ORIGINAL AUDITION.
YOU STEPPED IT UP. ONLY TWO CAN GO THROUGH.
I THINK YOU'LL GET THE VOTES. THIS PROVES TO ALL PEOPLE THAT A
YOUNG MAN ALONE IN A DARK ROOM CAN HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH JUST
HIS HAND. >> Terry: SHADOW ACE, YOU'VE GOT
TREMENDOUSLY VIRAL. HOW DO YOU RECEIVE THIS
REACTION, MAN? >> IT'S REALLY CRAZY.
I JUST DO IT IN OUR KITCHEN. NOW I'M ON THE BIGGEST STAGE IN
THE WORLD. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
SHADOW. OKAY, THE ACTS ARE ALL DONE, NOW
YOU'RE UP. GO TO NBC.COM OR USE THE "AGT"
APP AND VOTE. IT'S A BIG SHOW TOMORROW NIGHT.
TWO ACTS WILL MAKE THE FINALS, BUT FINDING OUT WHICH TWO IS
GONNA BE INTENSE. AND WE'LL HAVE DRAKE MILLIGAN
TOO. IT ALL STARTS AT 8:00.
I AM TERRY CREWS. GOOD NIGHT, AMERICA.
