BUZZERS FROM THE AUDITIONS. EVERY ACT NEEDS SOMETHING TO
MAKE THEM STAND OUT, BUT WE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE
WHAT THESE GUYS DO. FROM BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA,
HERE'S LEGION. ONE DAY FABIAN WAS REHEARSING
AND WAS FEELING THAT HIS FEET WERE ON FIRE BECAUSE OF THE
DANCING. THAT GAVE HIM THE PERFECT IDEA.
>> YOU LIT YOUR FEET ON FIRE? >> YES.
>> WE ARE DANCES. WE ALSO HAVE OUR REGULAR JOBS.
WE TEACH. MANY OF THE GUYS WORK IN
CONSTRUCTION. ALL THIS REHEARSAL WE'VE BEEN
DOING IN FABIAN'S PARENTS' BACKYARD.
>> Simon: WHAT YOUR PARENTS' NAMES?
[ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE ]

REALLY PROFESSIONALS, THAT YOU -- BUT YOU STILL ARE SO, SO
GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. GOOD LUCK.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU GUYS.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: I'M ABOUT TO GET

>> Howie: IF THEY COME BACK, HOW MUCH MORE OF THEM IS THEIR TO

>> I THINK YOU ALL ARE MUCHO CALIENTE.
I FIND IT SUPER EXCITING. YOUR FEET ARE ON FIRE.
YOUR HEAD IS ON FIRE. IF YOU GET TO THE NEXT ROUND --
BECAUSE IT'S SOFIA'S GOLDEN BUZZER, I IMAGINE HER ON A
THRONE AND YOU'RE ALL DANCING AROUND HERE.
>> Terry: SIMON, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> Simon: THANK YOU, TERRY. I LOVED YOUR AUDITION.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE OF THE YEAR.
THIS WAS AN ACT -- GENUINELY I WAS THINKING, I'VE GOT AN
AMAZING FEELING ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IN THE LIVE
SHOW. HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T -- IT WASN'T
AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.
>> Sofia: NO! >> Simon: I TELL YOU WHAT, AT
THE POINT YOU THREW THE DAGGERS --
[ CROWD BOOING ] >> Simon: I'M THINKING SOMETHING
AMAZING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. >> HOW HOT IS IT WHEN YOUR HEAD
IS ON FIRE? >> Simon: THEIR HEADS WERE ON
FIRE. I AGREE.
>> Sofia: IT WAS AMAZING. >> Terry: WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT
TO SAY TO ARGENTINA?
>> WE WANT TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE IN ARRGENTINA FOR THE
SUPPORT. WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> Terry: PEOPLE, THIS IS YOUR SHOW.
YES, YOU GET TO VOTE, BUT WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU TOO.
Y'ALL HAVE SUCH GREAT COMMENTS, LET US HAVE THEM AND WE COULD
INCLUDE SOME LIVE IN THE SHOW. OKAY.
OVER THE YEARS, THREE MAGICIANS HAVE WON "AGT."
COULD THIS BE THE FOURTH? HE'S FROM SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, HE
>> I GREW UP IN SEOUL, KOREA. I THINK I WAS A REALLY NORMAL
KID. I WAS A GOOD KID.
I LOVED TO HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS AND PLAYING SOCCER ON THE
GROUND. ONE DAY I WAS IN THE LIBRARY AND
THERE'S A SHINY BOOK ABOUT MAGIC.
I JUST KEPT READING IT, TRYING IT AND IT BECOMES MY LIFE.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I LOVE THAT STORY.
>> I JUST MADE IT UP. NO, I'M KIDDING.
I ALWAYS DREAM ABOUT THE "AGT" STAGE.
I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE FOUR JUDGES FOR THREE YEARS.
AND EVERY DAY I'M WATCHING THE PICTURE.
I'M GOING TO BE ON THAT STAGE. THE RESPONSE WAS INCREDIBLE.
SOME OF THE BIGGEST MAGICIANS FROM "AGT" MENTIONED ME ON
SOCIAL MEDIA. >> THIS IS SO SPECIAL AND
UNIQUE. >> LIFE IS CRAZY.
WHEN SIMON CAME HERE, AT FIRST I WAS A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS BECAUSE
OF WHAT HE SAID TO ME IN THE AUDITION.
>> Simon: I WASN'T MESMERIZED. >> AFTER HIS ADVICE, I RETHINK
ABOUT MY PREPARATIONS ABOUT THE SECOND ROUND.
>> Simon: IT'S YOUR SHOW NOW. >> I PREPARED AN AGENT THAT IS
GOING TO MESMERIZE SIMON AND AMERICA.
THE GREAT ES MAGICIANS OF ALL TIME HAVE WALKED THE "AGT"
STAGE. AND NOW I WANT TO BE THE NEXT
ONE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* *
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: IF WE COULD FIND HIM, WE'LL HEAR FROM THE JUDGES AFTER
THE BREAK. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: BEFORE THE BREAK WE
SAW THE AMAZING DISAPPEARANCE OF MAGICIAN YOUNG MIN.
I'VE TRACKED HIM DOWN, SO LET'S HEAR FROM THE JUDGES.
HEIDI? >> Heidi: I LOVED IT.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. IT WAS MYSTICAL.
IT WAS MAGICAL. I MEAN, YOU SHOW MAGIC IN SUCH A
DIFFERENT WAY THAN OTHER MAGICIANS DO.
I ALWAYS WONDER WHERE DO YOU GUYS GO WHEN YOU DISAPPEAR?
DO YOU GO TO SPACE? THEN YOU'RE ALL OF A SUDDEN
BACK. IT'S MIND BLOWING.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: DEFINITELY ONE OF MY
FAVORITE MAGIC ACTS ON "AGT." IT WAS MYSTICAL, MAGICAL,
UNEXPECTED. I MEAN, I LOVE THAT YOU ALSO DID
THE SAND, BUT THE PAPERS OR WHATEVER THAT IS AND YOU
DISAPPEARING WAS AMAZING. >> Heidi: VERY MYSTERIOUS.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE
FOR NOT BEING VERY NICE DURING YOUR FIRST AUDITION.
I JUST DIDN'T LOVE IT. HOWEVER, WE'VE HAD THE MOST --
[ CROWD BOOING ] -- THE MOST AMAZING MAGICIANS
OVER THE YEARS. ONE SECOND.
I ALWAYS SAY WHEN YOU'RE ON THE LIVE SHOW, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A
MOMENT. WHAT WE JUST WITNESSED WAS YOUR
MOMENT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Simon: THAT IS GOING TO GET YOU THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS.
IT WAS THAT GOOD. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: I THINK YOU'RE TRULY AMAZING, ONE OF THE BEST
MAGICIANS I'VE EVER SEEN. NOT ONLY THE MAGIC, BUT YOUR
PERFORMANCE. IT'S SO -- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
DESCRIBE IT -- MINDFUL AND DEMUR.
>> Terry: YOUNG MIN, YOU HAD US SPELLBOUND TONIGHT.
HOW DID THAT FEEL? >> IT'S -- IT FEELS LIKE I'M
WALKING ON A CLOUD. I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ON THE
STAGE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. LISTEN, YOU'RE VOTING FOR THE
ACTS YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE SEMI-FINAL.
ONLY THREE CAN GO THROUGH, SO MAKE SURE YOU GET THOSE VOTES
IN. MOVING RIGHT ALONG, HERE'S OUR
NEXT ACT. ON "AGT," IT'S RISKY TO SING AN
ORIGINAL SONG AT THE AUDITIONS, BUT THIS YOUNG GUY INSISTED AND,
MAN, DID IT WORK OUT FOR HIM. TONIGHT, HE'S PERFORMING ONE OF
HIS OWN SONGS AGAIN. FROM A VERY SMALL TOWN,
ATOKOKAN, CANADA, TO THE WORLD'S BIGGEST STAGE, HERE'S ALEX
SAMPSON. THIS SHOW IS WHAT I'VE ALWAYS
WANTED TO DO. MY HAND WAS SHAKING THIS ENTIRE
TIME. SEEING THE HUGE AUDIENCE, I'M
FROM A SMALL TOWN WITH 2,300 PEOPLE IN IT.
>> MERRY CHRISTMAS! >> CAN I GET MAPLE SYSYRUP?
>> WE'RE AT THE WATCH PARTY. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE DECORATES
YET, BUT MY MOM AND DAD WERE PUTTING THEM UP.
WITHIN HOURS OF MY "AGT" AUDITION "PRETTY BABY" WAS ON
THE iTUNES POP CHARTS. "AGT," I LOVE YOU.
MY DREAM IS TOURING, HAVE A FEW HIT SONGS.
I'LL TAKE SIMON'S ADVICE. >> Simon: THIS SONG COULD HAVE
BEEN WRITTEN IN THE '50s OR '60s.
IF THIS IS THE LINE YOU WANT TO DOWN GO, YOU'LL DO WELL.
>> THE SONG HAS TO BE PERFECT. IT'S SHOW DAY.
IT'S HAPPENING. EVERYONE GOOD?
IT'S SIMON COWELL. IS HE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON?
ARE YOU SURE. SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE 10 MILLION
PEOPLE INSIDE. LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED.
I'M TERRIFIED. I'M EXCITED.
I CAN'T HANDLE IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* SAW YOU ACROSS THE ROOM WITH YOUR LIPSTICK
CHERRY RED * * YOU LOOKED KINDA BLUE
MUST'VE BEEN SOMETHING HE SAID *

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: ALEX SAMPSON!
ALL RIGHT. I GOTTA TELL YOU NOW, NORMALLY
WE HAVE TWO MASSIVE DOORS THAT CLOSE IN FRONT OF THE CREW, BUT
THEY'RE BROKEN TONIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE OF
EVERYONE AS WE GO THROUGH THE SHOW.
OKAY. NOW LET'S START WITH THE JUDGES.
HEIDI? >> Heidi: YES, I WANNA BE YOUR
GIRL. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Heidi: ACTUALLY, NO, I DON'T BECAUSE I'M VERY HAPPILY
MARRIED. I FEEL LIKE I HEARD EVERYONE IN
THIS ROOM AND ALL THE GIRLS AT HOME SAYING THE SAME THING.
I FEEL LIKE YOU REALLY ARE A GEM AND YOU JUST POLISHED YOURSELF
UP REAL NICE. YOU'RE SPARKLY ON THAT STAGE.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: ALEX, I THINK YOU'RE A
STAR. I THINK THAT SONG, BEING AN
ORIGINAL SONG AGAIN, YOU KNOW ALREADY THE LANE THAT YOU LIKE,
LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE '50s, '60s, PERFECT FOR YOU.
GOOD JOB. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: YOU WERE UNBELIEVABLY NERVOUS, WEREN'T YOU?
>> COULD YOU TELL? >> Simon: I COULD SEE THAT.
I COULD FEEL IT. I THINK SOME OF THE TUNING WAS
OFF AT TIMES. HOWEVER --
[ CROWD BOOING ] -- YOU'VE SORT OF COME FROM
NOWHERE. YOU KNOW, JUST LISTENING TO THAT
FIRST AUDITION AND WHAT YOU DID AND NOW WHAT YOU JUST DID, YOU
CREATED A SOUND AND A LANE FOR YOURSELF WHICH IS SO SMART.
AND I THINK OUR AUDIENCE IS REALLY, REALLY GOING TO LIKE
YOU. >> THANK YOU.
>> Simon: YOU HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
I REALLY DO. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: I LOVE HOW EXCITED EVER IS ABOUT THE TYPICAL
CANADIAN BOY. THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE.
>> I LOVE YOU. >> Howie: IT REMINDS ME SO MUCH
OF MYSELF. I AGREE WITH SOFIA.
YOU'RE A STAR. YOU'RE NOT ONLY A STAR WITH THE
WAY YOU LOOK, THE WAY YOU HOLD YOURSELF, THE WAY YOU WRITE, THE
WAY YOU PERFORM. YOU'RE A CROSS BETWEEN CROSS
MENDES AND CHRIS ISAACS. YOU'RE AMAZING.
YOU'RE GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY. I KNOW IT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: HOW DID IT FEEL TO
SING AN ORIGINAL SONG RIGHT HERE ON LIVE TELEVISION?
>> HONESTLY, TERRY, IT FEELS AMAZING.
I COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPY. THANK YOU "AGT."
THANK YOU GOD AND THANK YOU AMERICA.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, ALEX.
TO VOTE ALEX INTO THE SEMI-FINAL, GET ONLINE OR USE
THE "AGT" APP. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR
EACH ACT WITH EACH OF THE VOTING METHODS, SO GET BUSY.
UP NEXT, AN ASTONISHING DANCER
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: THIS DANCER HAS NEVER
GIVEN UP ON HIS DREAMS, NO MATTER WHAT LIFE HAS THROWN AT
HIM, AND IT HAS THROWN A LOT. FROM BRAZIL, HERE'S BBOY SAMUKA.
>> GROWING UP MY DREAM WAS TO BE A SOCCER PLAYER.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE A DANCER.
BUT WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD, I LOST MY LEG DUE TO CANCER.
I REMEMBER GOING TO SCHOOL. AT THAT MOMENT I WAS LIKE I NEED
TO DO SOMETHING TO BE ALIVE, GIVE ME LIFE.
I SAW BREAKING ON YOUTUBE. I WANT TO DO THAT.
I WILL TRY. I FEEL FREE WHEN I DANCE, LIKE
NO LIMITS. >> Howie: IT'S MESMERIZING.
YOU TOTALLY FORGET BEING AN AMPUTEE.
>> WHEN HOWIE SAID THAT, I FELT LIKE I GREW INTO IT.
[ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE ]
>> I WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY IF IT WASN'T FOR MY MOM.
SHE ALWAYS SAYS, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
JUST BELIEVE AND NEVER LET PEOPLE SAY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO
DO OR NOT. I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE A
DISABLED DANCER, NO. I'M A DANCER.
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I'M HERE. I WORK HARD FOR THIS.
I WAS DETERMINED TO FIGHT CANCER.
I'M DETERMINED TO BREAK THE JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE AND TODAY
I'M DETERMINED TO WIN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
SO LET'S SEE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* OH PUT YOUR LOVING HAND OUT
BABY * * I'M BEGGIN'
BEGGIN' BEGGIN' YOU PUT YOUR LOVING HAND OUT
BABY * * BEGGIN' BEGGIN' YOU
PUT YOUR LOVING HAND OUT DARLING *
* RIDING HIGH WHEN I WAS KING
PLAYED IT HARD AND FAST 'CAUSE I HAD EVERYTHING *
* WALKED AWAY WONDERIN' THEN
BUT EASY COME AND EASY GO AND IT WOULD END *
* SO AH ANY TIME I NEED YA
LET ME GO * * EVERY TIME I REACH
YOU GET ME LOW EVERY TIME I SEEK
YOU LET ME KNOW * * BUT I PLANTED THAT SEED
JUST LET ME GROW * * I'M ON MY KNEES
WHILE I'M BEGGIN' 'CAUSE I DON'T WANNA
LOSE YOU * * I GOT MY ARMS ALL SPREAD
I HOPE THAT MY HEART GETS FED MATTER OF FACT GIRL
I'M BEGGIN' BEGGIN' BEGGIN * * BEGGIN' BEGGIN' YOU
PUT YOUR LOVING HAND OUT BABY *
* BEGGIN' BEGGIN' YOU PUT YOUR LOVING HAND OUT
DARLING * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: BBOY SAMUKA! HOWIE?
INCREDIBLE. HOWIE?
>> Howie: WOW. WOW.
RAYGUN, EAT YOUR HEART OUT. HE'S OBVIOUSLY NOT FROM
AUSTRALIA. YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING.
YOU'RE TRULY INSPIRATIONAL. THAT WAS A WOW MOMENT.
YOU ROSE THE BAR FROM YOUR ORIGINAL AUDITION.
THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET INTO THE FINALS.
I THINK YOU DID WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I MEAN, I SIT HERE
LITERALLY IN AWE WATCHING YOU. THE POWER YOU HAVE, THE STRENGTH
YOU HAVE, WHERE WERE YOU AT THE OLYMPICS?
>> Terry: WE WERE THERE. >> Heidi: YOU WERE BREAK DANCING
AT THE OLYMPICS? >> Terry: WE WERE IN THE PARIS
AT THE OLYMPICS TOGETHER, YES. >> Heidi: YOU'RE AMAZING.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: YOU'RE INCREDIBLE,
INSPIRATIONAL. LEG OR NO LEG, YOU ARE AN
AMAZING DANCER. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: WELL, FORGET ME. LOOK AROUND.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] HONESTLY, THIS -- YOU ARE, IN MY
OPINION, BY FAR THE BEST ACT OF THE NIGHT SO FAR.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: NOW BBOY SAMUKA, WE
WERE IN PARIS AT THE OLYMPICS HANGING OUT TOGETHER.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU WERE DOING THERE?
>> SO FOR THE FIRST TIME BREAKING WAS IN THE OLYMPICS.
I WAS THERE WITH MY CREW TO PERFORM BEFORE THE FINAL.
WE WERE ON THE STAGE. >> Terry: YES.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, SAMUKA. LISTEN, YOU CAN KEEP DREAMS
ALIVE TONIGHT. ONLY THREE ACTS WILL MAKE THE
SEMI-FINAL AND YOU WILL DECIDE WHO THEY ARE.
SO, GET VOTING AND DON'T STOP UNTIL 7:00 A.M. EASTERN
TOMORROW. UP NEXT, THE 19-YEAR-OLD SINGER
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE OF THE CREW WORKING TONIGHT.
MIND YOU, IT JUST SHOWS HOW HARD THEY WORK.
WHEN THIS 19-YEAR-OLD STARTED TO SING AT THE AUDITIONS, THERE WAS
A MOMENT WHEN ALL FOUR JUDGES AND ME WERE LIKE --
SHE GOT FOUR YESES, BUT PERFORMING ON A LIVE SHOW IS A
WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME. FROM GRANADA HILLS, CALIFORNIA,
HERE'S BROOKE BAILEY. >> Terry: WELCOME TO "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT" LIVE SHOW. >> I WAS AT LAST WEEK'S SHOW.
I WANTED TO SEE LIV AND RICHARD TO SEE HOW THEY PERFORMED AND
THEIR SONG CHOICES AS WELL. IT PUSHED ME.
EVEN THOUGH I'M FROM L.A., I'M A NORMAL PERSON.
I HAVE MY MOM AND DAD. HE'S A CEMENT TRUCK DRIVER AND
HE MAKES YOUR SIDEWALKS AND STREETS.
MY THREE OLDER SISTERS AND MY PUPPY DUKE.
I STARTED SINGLE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.
I FINALLY GOT A WHITNEY HOUSTON SOLO.
>> Howie: I THINK YOU HAVE A FUTURE AHEAD OF YOU.
>> GETTING THAT REACTION MADE ME REALIZE, I CAN DO THIS.
TODAY IS MY LAST DAY AT PLANET FITNESS.
I QUIT MY JOB. I HAVE NO PLAN B.
PLAN B IS TO SING. PLAN C IS TO ALSO SING.
THAT WAS A LITTLE SNAPPY. I WAS SO SHOCKED THAT LIV WENT
HOME. WHAT WAS SHE MISSING?
SHE WAS FREAKIN' PHENOMENAL. NOW IT'S JUST WHAT CAN I DO AND
THROUGH MY SONG CHOICE I HAVE TO SHOW THAT EMOTIONAL SIDE.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE VOCALS. IT'S ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE AS
WELL. HOPEFULLY THAT REALLY PAYS OFF.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * SOMEBODY SAID
YOU GOT A NEW FRIEND BUT DOES SHE LOVE YOU
BETTER THAN I CAN * * AND THERE'S
A BIG BLACK SKY OVER MY TOWN *
* I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT I BET SHE'S AROUND *
* AND YEAH I KNOW IT'S STUPID
BUT I JUST GOTTA SEE IT FOR MYSELF *
* I'M IN THE CORNER WATCHING YOU KISS HER
WHOA * * AND I'M RIGHT OVER HERE
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE ME WHOA *
* AND I'M GIVIN' IT MY ALL BUT I'M NOT THE GIRL
YOU'RE TAKING HOME * * OOH I KEEP DANCING ON MY OWN *
* SO FAR AWAY BUT STILL SO NEAR *
* THE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE MUSIC DIES *
* BUT YOU DON'T SEE ME STANDING HERE *
* I JUST CAME TO SAY GOOD-BYE * * I'M IN THE CORNER
WATCHING YOU KISS HER WHOA *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * AND I'M GIVIN' IT MY ALL
BUT I'M NOT THE GIRL YOU'RE TAKING HOME *
* AND I KEEP DANCING ON MY OWN *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: BROOKE BAILEY!
SOFIA? >> Sofia: BROOKE, EVERYTHING
ABOUT YOU TONIGHT IS PERFECT. YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, YOUR OUTFIT,
THE SONG. I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE SUCH A BIG
VOICE, BUT YOU PICKED AN UNEXPECTED SONG AND MADE IT
YOURS. GOOD LUCK.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU.
THAT WAS IMPECCABLE. >> Terry: HOWIE, I SEE YOU
CONFERRING WITH SIMON. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?
>> Howie: I HAVE TO BE HONEST. I DON'T THINK YOU HIT YOUR MARK
TONIGHT. >> Heidi: WHAT?
[ CROWD BOOING ] >> Howie: I THINK YOU HAVE WHAT
IT TAKES. I DON'T THINK YOU ROSE TO THE
OCCASION. >> Heidi: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT? >> Howie: I DON'T THINK IT WAS
AS GOOD AS LAST WEEK'S LIV. >> Terry: HEIDI?
>> Heidi: I LOVE YOU. TO ME IT WAS AN A PLUS PLUS
PERFORMANCE YOU JUST DID. YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE,
MIND BLOWING. YOU LOOK STUNNING.
>> Terry: SIMON, HELP US OUT. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
>> Simon: FOR THE FIRST TWO THIRDS OF THE SONG I WAS BORED.
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. THEN AT THE END I KIND OF
CONNECTED WITH YOU BECAUSE IT REALLY AT THAT POINT -- I
THOUGHT WOW, YOU REALLY WANT THIS, DON'T YOU?
>> YES. >> Simon: AND I THOUGHT THE SONG
CHOICE WAS REALLY GOOD. YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T HEAR THAT
SONG VERY MUCH. >> Sofia: NO.
>> Heidi: I SAY ROBIN MOVE OVER. YOU DID IT SO AMAZINGLY.
>> Terry: BROOKE, THIS WAS A DIFFERENT GENRE THAN YOU SANG IN
THE AUDITIONS. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS SONG?
>> I WANTED TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AND TAKE A RISK, NOT GOING THE
SOULFUL AND POWERFUL ROUTE. I WANTED TO SHOW THAT EMOTIONAL
AND VULNERABLE SIDE OF MYSELF. I WANTED TO TAKE YOU GUYS FOR A
RIDE AND AT THE END SHOW I HAVE THE POWER.
>> Terry: ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, BROOKE.
TONIGHT YOU CAN CHANGE LIVES WITH YOUR VOTES.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF POWER, SO USE IT.
>>> COMING UP -- >> THAT'S SIMON.
>> Simon: I WANT TO SAY BRAVO AND HIT THIS.
>> Howie: PEOPLE SAY YOU HAVE TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
YOU THOUGHT INSIDE THE BOX, USED THE BOX.
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: UP NEXT IS ONE OF YOUR
GOLDEN BUZZERS, SIMON. THIS IS A DRONE.
IT'S GOING TO FEATURE IN OUR NEXT ACT, BUT NOT JUST ONE
DRONE. THEY USE 1,000 OF THESE THINGS
WHICH IS WHY WE HAD TO TAKE THE PERFORMANCE OUTSIDE WHERE
LITERALLY THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. FROM DALLAS, TEXAS, HERE'S
SKY ELEMENTS. >> LIFTOFF.
WE HAVE LIFTOFF. >> THE SHOW FOR THE AUDITION WAS
400 FEET TALL AND 300 FEET WIDE. SIMON WAS FIGURED IN THE STATUE
OF LIBERTY. WILL PEOPLE EVEN LIKE WHAT WE
CREATE? WHEN SIMON HIT THAT GOLDEN
BUZZER, OUR MINDS WERE JUST ABSOLUTELY BLOWN.
20 YEARS AGO WE WERE JUST TWO KIDS THAT MET BECAUSE WE HAD THE
SAME CAR. >> NOW WE'RE ON "AGT."
AMERICA HAS SEEN WHAT WE CAN DO. NOW WE REALLY GOT TO DO IT
BETTER. >> WE HAVE TO USE A LOT MORE
DRONES. THAT'S WAY HARDER.
>> WE NEED TO GO DEEPER. LET'S DO IT.
>> THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO WHAT WE DO.
THIS SHOW WAS OVER 300 HOURS PUT TOGETHER.
THAT IS A LOT OF CUPS OF COFFEE. >> IT HAS TO BE BETTER, MORE
DETAILED, MORE INTERESTING. >> WE'RE TRYING TO GET ALL THE
DRONES TO PLAY NICE RIGHT NOW. WE HAD EIGHT DRONES THAT HIT
EACH OTHER AND DIDN'T TAKE OFF. >> WE'RE GOING UP AGAINST OTHER
GOLDEN BUZZERS AND ONLY THREE AGENTS GET TO GO ON.
>> WE WANT TO REINVENT THE SPECTACLE.
>> AS LONG AS EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
*
>> THE DRONES ARE ROLLING. IT'S GOING.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* EMPTY SPACES WHAT ARE WE LIVING FOR *
* ABANDONED PLACES I GUESS WE KNOW THE SCORE *
* ON AND ON * * DOES ANYBODY
WANT TO TAKE IT ANYMORE? * * THE SHOW MUST GO ON
THE SHOW MUST GO ON YEAH * * INSIDE
MY HEART IS BREAKING MY MAKEUP MAY BE FLAKING *
* BUT MY SMILE STILL STAYS ON *
* MY SOUL IS PAINTED LIKE THE WINGS OF BUTTERFLIES *
* FAIRY TALES OF YESTERDAY GROW BUT NEVER DIE *
* I CAN FLY MY FRIENDS * * THE SHOW MUST GO ON *
* I'LL FACE IT WITH A GRIN *
* I'M NEVER GIVING IN * * ON WITH THE SHOW *
* THE SHOW MUST GO ON * * YOU JUST GOTTA
IGNITE THE LIGHT AND LET IT SHINE *
* JUST OWN THE NIGHT LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY *
* 'CAUSE BABY YOU'RE A FIREWORK *
* COME ON AND SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU'RE WORTH *
* MAKE 'EM GO OH OH OH AS YOU SHOOT
ACROSS THE SKY * * BABY YOU'RE A FIREWORK *
* COME ON LET YOUR COLORS BURST *
* MAKE 'EM GO OH OH OH YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE 'EM ALL
IN AWE AWE AWE * * BOOM BOOM BOOM
EVEN BRIGHTER THAN THE MOON MOON MOON *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: SKY ELEMENTS!
SIMON, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET, MAN. YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER.
>> Simon: THAT WAS HONESTLY INCREDIBLE.
I THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME WE SAW YOU, HOW DO YOU TOP THAT?
YOU DID. I MEAN, HONESTLY IT WAS JUST --
I THINK IN TERMS OF HOW DIFFICULT THIS WAS AND ALL THE
ACTS WE'VE SEEN IN THE LIVE SHOWS SO FAR, THIS IS BY FAR THE
BEST. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Simon: THAT WAS AMAZING. >> Terry: HEIDI, WHAT DID YOU
THINK? >> Heidi: IT'S VERY EXCITING
WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF ON SUNSET, LIKE ON A BILLBOARD POSTER.
THIS IS NEXT LEVEL. I ALWAYS WONDER THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE WALKING AROUND OUTSIDE AND DON'T KNOW WE'RE FILMING THIS
AND THEY'RE LIKE WHY IS SIMON UP THERE?
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I MEAN, IT'S AMAZING.
I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW YOU GUYS CAN PULL THAT OFF.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY IMPRESSIVE, CREATIVE.
I MEAN, I CAN TELL THIS TAKES HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS OF
PRACTICE. SO I REALLY LOVE IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF HEIDI AND I LOOK LIKE THAT, BUT THE OTHER GUYS
LOOKED PERFECT. I REALLY LOVED IT.
>> Terry: HOWIE, IT LOOKED JUST LIKE YOU.
>> Howie: IT LOOKED JUST LIKE ME.
IT LOOKED JUST LIKE YOU. IT LOOKED JUST LIKE SIMON.
IT LOOKED LIKE HOWIE. IT LOOKED LIKE SOFIA VERGARA'S
SECOND COUSIN. >> Terry: GUYS, YOU ARE
INCREDIBLE. HOW DO YOU TOP THEM WHEN YOU GO
TO THE NEXT LEVEL? >> WE'RE GOING TO TELL AN
EMOTIONAL STORY THAT'S CLOSE TO MY HEART.
I CAN'T WAIT AND M
* [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: THESE PERFORMERS WERE INSPIRED BY "AGT" WINNER KENICHI
EBINA. HE HAS GONE ON TO BE THE MENTOR.
THE ACT COMBINES DANCE, ARTISTRY, CREATIVITY,
MIND-BLOWING ILLUSION, AND A REALLY INTENSE WORKOUT.
FROM JAPAN, HERE'S AIRFOOTWORKS. I REALLY WANTED TO PURSUE
DANCING LIKE THEM IN TOKYO. WHILE I WAS PERFORMING, I GOT AN
INJURY IN MY BACK. DURING REHAB, I REMEMBER
WATCHING A WORKOUT VIDEO. THE GUY WAS HOLDING HIMSELF UP
IN THE AIR. THE IDEA OF AIRFOOTWORKS WAS
BORN. FIRST, I FOUND THE OTHER
MEMBERS. HIP-HOP DANCER.
BREAKDANCER. STREET CALISTHENICS TRAINER.
OUR MOTHERS, THEY ARE OUR BIGGEST FANS.
>> PLEASE VOTE FOR -- >> All: AIRFOOTWORKS.
>> I WANT TO SHOW OUR STYLE OF DANCE TO THE WORLD.
>> Simon: IT WAS SO CREATIVE AND SO DIFFERENT.
>> WE HAVE SEEN THE AMAZING AND UNIQUE DANCE AGENCTS ON THIS SHO
THIS IS WHY WE CAME TO "AGT." WE WENT TO THE WINNER.
CHECK THIS OUT. TONIGHT THE WORLD WILL SEE
AIRFOOTWORKS AT ITS BEST. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* YOU SEE TONIGHT IT COULD GO EITHER WAY
HEARTS BALANCED ON A RAZOR BLADE *
* WE ARE DESIGNED TO LOVE AND BREAK
AND TO RINSE AND REPEAT IT ALL AGAIN *
* I GET STUCK WHEN THE WORLD'S TOO LOUD
AND THINGS DON'T LOOK UP WHEN YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN *
* I KNOW YOUR ARMS ARE REACHIN' OUT
FROM SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE CLOUDS *
* YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE MY TROUBLED HEART
IS A MILLION MILES AWAY * * YOU MAKE ME FEEL

GOLDEN BUZZERS FROM THE AUDITIONS.
HERE'S HER SECOND. SOFIA BEGAN BY SAYING THE ACT
WAS NONSENSE, IT WAS RIDICULOUS. THEN SHE HIT THE BUTTON.
CONFUSED? HERE'S MORE FROM SCHUMACHER.
>> Simon: THAT WAS GENIUS. >> Sofia: I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
IS, BUT I REALLY, REALLY THINK YOU DESERVE THIS.
THAT WAS THE MOST FUN THING WE'VE HAD ALL WEEK.
>> THANK YOU, SOFIA. >> THANK YOU.

BUT IT MATTERS TO US BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE OUR FAMILY PROUD.
[ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE ]
>> MY WIFE IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSED FROM MY PERFORMANCE.
SHE IS VERY SHY, BUT VERY CUTE. >> WE MET 20 YEARS AGO AT
SCHOOL. >> I WAS STUDYING ENGINEERING.
>> I WAS STUDYING ECONOMICS. >> BUT NOT FUN.
>> WE STARTED A DUO AND SCHUMACHER WAS BORN.
>> SINCE THEN HE'S THE BEST FRIEND OF MY LIFE.
I THOUGHT WE CANNOT GET GOLDEN BUZZER, BUT WE DID.

>> Howie: LOOK AT THE LOOK OF PRIDE ON SOFIA'S FACE.
THOSE ARE MY PEOPLE. >> Sofia: I DON'T CARE WHAT
SIMON SAYS. I STAND BY YOU.
I WOULD GIVE YOU ANOTHER GOLDEN BUZZER IF I COULD.
THAT WAS UNIQUE, FUN. THIS IS WHAT "AGT" IS ALL ABOUT.
I LOVE IT. >> Terry: SIMON, IS THIS WHAT
"AGT" IS ALL ABOUT? >> Simon: NO.
IT WAS -- [ CROWD BOOING ]
IT WAS -- >> Sofia: WHAT?
>> Simon: IT WAS FUNNY THE FIRST TIME.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING GREAT.

>> Terry: WHY? >> Simon: BECAUSE I THINK ANYONE
COULD DO THAT. >> Terry: HEIDI, YOU'RE
LAUGHING. >> Heidi: WELL, BECAUSE IT'S SO
BAD THAT IT'S GOOD. >> Sofia: NO.

ANOTHER MAN'S CENTER. >> Terry: AUDIENCE, LET'S HEAR
FROM THE FIFTH JUDGE. DID YOU LIKE SCHUMACHER?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET.
SCHUMACHER, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TELL THIS AUDIENCE THAT'S OUT

CENTER. THANK YOU.

SEMI-FINAL? VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL 7:00 A.M.
EASTERN TOMORROW. SO GO GET BUSY.
* [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: MAN, THESE GUYS WORK HARD ON THIS SHOW.
LET ME TELL YOU. HERE'S A LEGENDARY "AGT" NAME
FOR YOU, MATT FRANCO. HE WON "AGT" BACK IN 2014 AND HE
NOW RANKS AS ONE OF THE GREATEST MAGICIANS OF ALL TIME.
WELL, HE'LL BE RIGHT BACK HERE TOMORROW NIGHT, BLOWING YOUR
MIND ALL OVER AGAIN. AND OF COURSE, TOMORROW NIGHT
THREE ACTS WILL MAKE IT TO THE SEMI-FINALS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A NAIL-BITER FOR THE ACTS AND IT'LL ALL BE
DOWN TO HOW YOU VOTE. THAT'S THE RESULTS SHOW WITH
MATT FRANCO, TOMORROW NIGHT AT 8:00.
NOW, SIMON HATES BALLET, BUT AT THE AUDITIONS THIS ACT CHANGED
HIS MIND. IT'S EXTREME BALLET.
IF ANY OF YOU ARE THINKING OF TRYING THIS, JUST DON'T.
FROM NEW YORK, HERE'S ASHLEE MONTAGUE.
>> THAT WAS A HUGE MOMENT FOR ME.
THE EMOTION THAT YOU SAW AT THE END WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T GIVE UP
ON MY DREAM. I POURED SO MUCH OF MY LIFE INTO
BALLET. I STARTED DANCING WHEN I WAS 4.
I ALWAYS LOVED BALLET, BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A THRILL SEEKER.
ONE DAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AN EVENT FOR A BIG CHAMPAGNE
COMPANY. I THOUGHT WHY DON'T I COMBINE
THE TWO THINGS I LOVE. I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY IN A
ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT. T
THE APARTMENT IS SO SLANTED. IT'S SUPER HARD TO KEEP YOUR
BALANCE ON SOMETHING THAT'S NOT LEVEL.
I'M SURE MY NEIGHBORS ABSOLUTELY HATE ME.
THE BOTTLES ARE NOT NAILED DOWN. I'M GOING TO BREAK IT.
I'M STEPPING IT UP TO A POINT WHERE MAYBE I SHOULDN'T.
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE MOST DANGEROUS ACT I'VE EVER
ATTEMPTED. IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE AND MAYBE
FOR A REASON. >> HERE WE GO.
>> I KNOW THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
RISKING INJURY, BUT THAT'S HOW BADLY I WANT THIS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * I'M HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE
CAS CA
CASTLE * * THEY WANT TO MAKE ME THEIR
QUEEN * * I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE SO
MEAN * * I'M HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE
CASTLE * * THERE'S AN OLD MAN SITTING ON

PRETTY MOUTH SHUT * * STRAIGHT FOR THE CASTLE *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* * I'M HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE
CASTLE * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: ASHLEE MONTAGUE! GIVE IT UP FOR HER HUSBAND
RICHARD. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: TALK TO ME. YOU'RE SO EMOTIONAL.
HOW YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW? >> STOKED.
I CAN'T WORD RIGHT NOW. >> Terry: HOWIE, GIVE HER SOME
WORDS. >> Howie: HERE'S -- I HAVE A
CONUNDRUM. I THINK WHAT YOU DO IS AMAZING.
IT'S SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE WHEN YOU DID THE
AUDITION. IT IS AMAZING.
I KNOW BALLERINAS, IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO BE ON POINT, LET ALONE
ON A BOTTLE. I WOULD THINK TO GET TO THIS
POINT YOU HAVE TO STEP IT UP. >> Heidi: SHE DID.
SHE USED THE STAIRS. >> Howie: SHE WENT UP STEPS.
SHE DIDN'T STEP IT UP. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S THE SAME
THING. [ CROWD BOOING ]
I'M JUST SAYING THAT IS THIS DIFFERENT AND BETTER THAN WHAT
SHE DID WHEN SHE FIRST CAME IN? >> Terry: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
THAT? >> Howie: IF YOU PUT YOUR FEET
IN THE BOTTLE OF WINE ARE YOU A --
>> IT WAS A FLAMING BOTTLE. I DON'T KNOW.
I FLEW. I WENT UP.
I WENT DOWN. >> Terry: HEIDI, SHE --
>> Heidi: I DON'T KNOW WHAT HOWIE IS WATCHING.
YOU TOTALLY STEPPED IT UP. WHILE HE'S DOING THIS, HE SAID,
IS THIS NOT THE SAME? I WAS LIKE NO, IT'S MUCH HARDER.
>> Terry: AND IT'S ON FIRE. >> Heidi: IT WAS A DANGEROUS,
DANGEROUS OBSTACLE COURSE. I'M THERE FOR IT.
I LOVE IT. >> Terry: SOFIA?
>> Sofia: I MEAN, I'M WITH HEIDI.
IT WAS AMBITIOUS. YOU DID IT AND CREATED YOUR OWN
BALLET. YOU DIDN'T PLAY SAFE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER THAN THE AUDITION.
LOVED IT. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SIMON, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
>> Simon: ASHLEE, I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU.
SERIOUSLY. THERE WAS NO SAFETY NET.
IF IT HAD GONE WRONG, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD AND YOU
WENT FOR IT AND YOU DID IT LIVE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF A SHOW AFTER THIS.
I REALLY, REALLY DO. >> Terry: ASHLEE, HOW MANY PAIRS
OF BALLET SHOES DID YOU GO THROUGH TRYING TO GET READY FOR
THIS LIVE SHOW. >> DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
>> Terry: I WANT TO KNOW. >> 27.
>> Terry: 27. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT ASHLEE.
TO PUT ASHLEE IN THE SEMI-FINALS YOU HAVE TO VOTE TONIGHT.
>> Howie: YOU BELIEVE IN DREAMS? >> I DO, YES.
>> Howie: THAT STAGE IS WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE.
>> Announcer: ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER MOMENT?
AUDITIONS FOR NEXT SEASON ARE OPEN.
>> Heidi: YOU KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET.
>> Sofia: IT'S EXACTLY WHY I'M GOING TO DO THIS.
>> Terry: YOU ARE HERE WITH US FOREVER.
>> Simon: TWO MINUTES CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
>> Announcer: GO TO AGTAUDITIONS.
IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE T. * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: SIMON, HOW HAS THE SHOW BEEN GOING TONIGHT?
>> Simon: YOU KNOW WHAT, I WOULD SAY UNPREDICTABLE, TERRY.
ACTUALLY I HAVE REALLY, REALLY ENJOYED IT.
AND I THINK MOST OF THE ACTS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE.
>> Terry: YOU'RE MAKING IT UNPREDICTABLE.
WHY YOU BREAKING THE RULES ALL THE TIME, MAN?
>> Simon: I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.
>> Terry: OKAY. HERE'S OUR LAST ACT TONIGHT.
SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LOT OF LIFE'S TWISTS AND TURNS FOR YOU
TO ARRIVE AT YOUR TRUE CALLING. THAT'S THE CASE FOR THIS AMAZING
GUITARIST FROM NEEKS PHOENIX, ARIZONA.
HERE'S NiNi. >> THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED
CHINESE GUITAR, IT WAS TOO BIG AND UGLY.
I'M SO SMALL. I WANTED TO PLAY CHINESE FLUTE,
BUT MY TEETH IS LIKE THIS. YOU KNOW, SO THE TEACHER WAS
JUST LIKE, OKAY, BECAUSE YOU BLOW ALL THE AIR AND THE AIR
COME AND OUT NOT GO IN THE INSTRUMENT.
SO RUDE. IF I DIDN'T HAVE THIS TEACHER, I
WOULDN'T BE ON THE STAGE OF "AGT" RIGHT NOW.
>> Heidi: YOU'RE MESMERIZING, YOUR OUTFIT AND CROWN AND YOUR
PLAYING IS IN STAIN. >> THANK YOU, MS. PENG.
NOW I PLAY MY INSTRUMENT 25 YEARS AND I STILL LOVE TO PLAY
IT. SO I WANT TO SHARE MY INSTRUMENT
TO THE WORLD. AND, ALSO, IF I WIN THE SHOW AND
I GET $1 MILLION I WANT TO BUY HURRICANE.
>> WHY DO YOU WANT TO BUY HURRICANE?
>> YOU KNOW, IF I WIN AND THE DOG WINS, SO I BUY THIS DOG
HURRICANE, RIGHT? SO THE NEXT TIME WE CAN JOIN
TOGETHER AND WE'LL JUST WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN SO WE CAN GET MORE
MONEY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* *
HEY! *
*
>> HEY! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: NiNi! SOFIA?
>> Sofia: AMAZING. I MEAN, I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT, YOUR
PERSONALITY. I MEAN, IT'S SEXY.
IT'S UNEXPECTED. I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD
BE IN A JAMES BOND MOVIE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL WHAT YOU DO.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: YOU'RE SO INTERESTING, SO TALENTED.
THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS I HATED THE SONG AND THE TRACK BECAUSE IT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANTHEM. [ CROWD BOOING ]
>> Simon: I'M REALLY D DISAP
DISAPPOINTED. I AM.
TAKE THAT AWAY, YOU ARE AMAZING. >> Sofia: YES!
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I THINK YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. YOU'RE SUCH AN AMAZING MUSICIAN,
YOUR FINGER WORK, THE WAY YOU SHRED THIS THING.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. YOU'RE STUNNING.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: YOU KNOW, THE THING
ABOUT YOU IS YOU TAKE SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SEEN BEFORE, THE
CHINESE GUITAR. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE
EVER SEEN ANYBODY PLAY IT WITH A BOW.
YOU TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. YOU'RE LIKE NiNi HENDRIX.
WHEN WE SAW GUITAR PLAYERS AND WE SAW WOODSTOCK AND WE SAW JIMI
HENDRIX, WE WERE LIKE, OH, MY GOD, IT'S A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF
GUITAR PLAYING. YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE,
CULTURAL HENDRIX. WHAT A WAY TO CLOSE OUR SHOW.
>> Terry: NiNi, THAT WAS EPIC. HOW ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW?
>> I FEEL SO LUCKY TO BE HERE. I ALSO FEEL I'M GOING TO GET
SOME ICE CREAM. >> Terry: GET SOME ICE CREAM.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, NiNi. OKAY.
WHICH THREE ACTS DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE SEMI-FINALS?
TO VOTE, GO TO NBC.COM AND USE THE OFFICIAL "AGT" APP.
IT'S ALL ON YOU NOW. ONE ACT IS THROUGH TO THE FINALS
THANKS TO HOWIE'S GOLDEN BUZZER. IT WAS A CONTROVERSIAL BUZZER.
LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, HOWIE DID,
IN FACT, HIT THE BUZZER FIRST. AIRFOOTWORKS ARE THROUGH TO THE
FINALS. THAT MEANS TEN ACTS FOR THREE
SPOTS IN THE SEMI-FINALS. TOMORROW WE GET THE RESULTS AND
