WE GOT JAY FROM CALIFORNIA SAYING, HEIDI, WHAT WILL IT TAKE
FOR YOU TO PRESS YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER TONIGHT?
>> Heidi: IT'S A PRIVILEGE I HAVE THAT I GET TO DO THIS TO
MOVE SOMEONE FORWARD TO THE BIG FINALE.
I WANT TO DO THE SAME THING. USUALLY IT'S MY STOMACH.
I FEEL IT IN MY GUT AND GO BING. WHY IS THAT SO FUNNY?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> YOU SEE THAT, RIGHT?
WATCH THIS. >> THAT'S UNREAL.
>> I DO STREET MAGIC ALL THE TIME.
I LOVE SHOCKING PEOPLE. MY TALENT IS CRAZY MAGIC.
>> DON'T DO THAT. >> I LOVE MAKING OTHER PEOPLE
FREAK OUT. I'M ALWAYS CHASING THAT FEELING.
>> NO WAY. >> WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I WATCHED
A LOT OF MAGIC ON "AGT" THAT INSPIRES ME TO BE A MAGICIAN.
BEFORE MY AUDITION, MY HANDS WERE LIKE SHAKING AND I'M SO
NERVOUS. AND MY FINGERS KIND OF TAKE OFF
LIKE THAT. YEAH.
>> THAT'S CRAZY. >> DON'T BLINK.
. I WAS BORN WITH TOURETTE
SYNDROME. WHEN I DO MY MAGIC, IT GOES
AWAY. >> Simon: THAT WAS THE MOST
CRAZY CLOSE-UP MAGIC I'VE EVER SEEN.
>> I WANT TO PROVE MY MAGIC BELONGS ON THE STAGE.
I'M UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE WHICH MAKES MY TOURETTE'S
SYNDROME COME OUT. I'M GOING TO DO IT.
I'M GOING TO GET MY DREAM. >> HELLO, "AGT."
SIMON, CAN YOU HELP ME RIGHT HERE?
>> Simon: HERE? >> RIGHT HERE.
TURN LIKE THIS. TURN LIKE THIS.
RELAX YOUR FINGERS LIKE THAT. YEAH.

>> Terry: SAM HUANG! HEIDI?
>> Heidi: I MEAN, SAM, I GOT TO HAND IT TO YOU -- HA HA HA.
YOU MIGHT BE THE FIRST PERSON WHO
WHO EVER PUT A RING ON SIMON COWELL'S FINGER.
I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU DO, BUT MY STOMACH WAS NOT TALKING FOR
THE GOLDEN BUZZER, BUT I LOVE YOU A LOT.
I DO. I LIKE YOU A LOT, SAM.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: SOFIA?
>> Sofia: SAM, I THINK YOUR MAGIC IS VERY UNIQUE.
YOU'VE BEEN ONE OF OUR VIRAL ACTS THIS SEASON.
I THINK PEOPLE LOVE YOU. I DO WANT TO SEE, I MEAN, WHAT
YOU CAN BRING TO THE FINALS. I LOVE IT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Simon: LOVE WHAT?
LOVE HIS HAND? WHAT?
I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF MAGIC ON THE SHOW.
SOMETIMES WE SEE THE SAME THING YEAR ON YEAR.
TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS BRILLIANT.
TO DO IT LIVE IS HARD. I THINK YOU ARE -- YOU HAVE
GOT -- YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF A REALLY, REALLY GOOD SHOT OF
MAKING IT THROUGH TO THE FINAL AFTER THAT.
>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: MY ONLY THING IS, THE
MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND WAS TERRIBLE.
THAT WAS THE ONLY THING. >> Terry: HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU
THINK? >> Howie: YOU'RE MY FAVORITE
CLOSE-UP MAGICIAN I'VE EVER SEEN ON THIS SHOW.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Howie: I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING --
MAYBE I SHOULDN'T SAY IT OUT LOUD.
>> Simon: I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
>> Howie: CAN HE ONLY DO THAT WITH HIS FINGERS?
>> Terry: SAM, HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THAT PERFORMANCE?
>> IT'S INCREDIBLE AND UNREAL. I FEEL SO -- I'M IN SHOCK.
EVEN MYSELF, YEAH. >> Terry: THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, SAM. LISTEN, ONLY THREE ACTS WILL
MAKE THE SEMI-FINAL, AND THAT IS ALL DOWN TO YOU AND YOUR VOTES.
NOBODY GETS THROUGH WITHOUT YOU. UP NEXT, A COUNTRY DUO FROM
CANADA. IT'S THE REKLAWS, WHEN WE COME
BACK. *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: THIS BROTHER AND SISTER GREW UP ON AN ADVENTURE
FARM IN CANADA AND STARTED SINGING COUNTRY SONGS BETWEEN
PIG RACES. FOR REAL.
HERE'S THE REKLAWS. >> COUNTRY MUSIC IS VERY TOUGH
BUSINESS TO BREAK INTO. >> IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD OF
HAVING NO MONEY. WE WON'T GET.
>> REKLAWS, KEEP SHOWING UP UNTIL YOU'RE HIRED.
ANYWAYS -- >> WHEN WE PUT OUT OUR FIRST
SONG, I WAS WORKING AT STARBUCKS AND IT CAME ON THE RADIO.
>> IT WAS THE SAME DAY I WAS WORKING AT A POOL COMPANY.
I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL AND MY BOSS WAS LIKE HITTING ME
WITH THE SKIMMER. I SWAM UP.
I'M LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON? HE HAD A BOOM BOX.
HE WAS LIKE, THIS IS YOU. HE SAID, I THINK YOU SHOULD
QUIT. * PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT *
>> OUR FIRST AUDITION WE SANG THE MOST EMOTIONAL SONG WE HAVE.
>> WE WANTED IT TO BE A SONG ABOUT OUR MOM.
WE LOST OUR MOM TO MENTAL HEALTH.
WE DON'T WANT HER MEMORY TO BE SAD.
SHE WAS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY. THE NEXT ROUND IS WHY WE'RE
DOING THE SONG WE'RE DOING. >> WHAT WOULD SHE BE SAYING
RIGHT NOW? >> SHE WOULD SAY, JUST DON'T
EMBARRASS US. >> WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO
FEEL WHEN YOU'RE ON STAGE? >> I WANT EVERYONE TO NOT
REALIZE THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET BY THE END.
>> WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME, BUT WE HAVEN'T FULLY
BROKEN THROUGH. THAT'S WHY THIS PERFORMANCE IS
SO IMPORTANT TO US. >> WE KNEW THAT PEOPLE WANTED
SONGS TO DANCE TO. >> EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIDAY
NIGHT GOOD TIME SONG. THAT'S WHAT THIS SONG IS, BUT ON
A TUESDAY NIGHT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: THE REKLAWS! SOFIA?
>> Sofia: WELL, I MEAN, I LOVE THAT YOU GUYS ARE SINGING
ANOTHER ORIGINAL SONG. I THINK IT'S A CATCHY SONG.
YOU GUYS LOOKED AMAZING ON THE STAGE.
I MEAN, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU GUYS THAT I REALLY LIKE AND
I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU DO GREAT TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: ME? >> Terry: YES, SIR.
>> Heidi: ISN'T YOUR NAME HOWIE? >> Howie: YEAH.
I LOVE THE REKLAWS. I LOVE YOU.
I KNOW YOUR WORK. THE SONG YOU SANG AT THE
AUDITIONS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST MOVING, ONE OF THE MOST
MOVING SONGS I EVER HEARD. IT TOUCHED ME PERSONALLY.
IT WAS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
YOU LOOK FOR THE NEXT RAUNOUND O THIS TO LIFT YOU UP OR BE
BETTER. I LOVED THE LAST SONG BETTER.
THAT DOESN'T MATTER. MAYBE PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER THAT
SONG AND AGREE WITH ME. I LOVED THE LAST SONG BETTER.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: YOU TOLD US YOU
STARTED AT THE PUMPKIN PATCH. YOU CAME FROM THE PUMPKIN PATCH
TO PASADENA, "AGT," BIGGEST STAGE IN THE WORLD.
I THINK YOU'RE DOING FANTASTIC. IT'S SO SWEET YOU'RE BROTHER AND
SISTER DUO. THAT RAZZLE DAZZLE OUTFIT YOU
HAVE ON, I'M LOVING IT. >> YOU BEAT ME TO THE CORSET.
>> Heidi: I LOVE THE DID HE NICK THING.
>> Terry: SIMON, WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS?
>> Simon: I THINK YOU'RE VERY TALENTED.
IT'S OBVIOUS. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING
THIS? >> A LONG TIME.
>> Simon: YOU HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP.
WHAT'S FRUSTRATING FOR ME IS BECAUSE YOU'RE SO TO LALENTED AN
YOU WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS, THIS IS NOT THE SONG THAT ENDS THE
CONCERT. IT'S THE MIDWAY SONG.
IT'S NOT "THE" SONG. I THINK WHEN YOU GOT THE
OPPORTUNITY, YOU GOT TO GRAB IT. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIKE YOU.
IT DIDN'T DO FOR ME WHAT YOUR FIRST SONG DID FOR US WHEN WE
FIRST MET. >> Terry: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
WHAT SIMON JUST SAID? >> WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH THE
COMPETITION. >> Terry: GOOD POINT.
>> BUT HONESTLY THIS WAS JUST SUCH A COOL OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN
FRONT OF YOU GUYS, IN FRONT OF THIS CROWD, IN FRONT OF AMERICA.
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. >> Terry: I WANT TO ASK YOU
GUYS, FROM PIG RACES TO "AGT," HOW DOES THIS FEEL RIGHT NOW?
>> WE'RE JUST SO BLESSED TO BE HERE TRULY.
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU GUYS OUR WHOLE LIVES.
IT'S JUST SURREAL. >> FOR REAL.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. THE SEMI-FINAL IS AT STAKE RIGHT
NOW. TO VOTE FOR THE REKLAWS, GET
ONLINE OR USE THE "AGT" APP. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR
EACH ACT WITH EACH OF THE VOTING METHODS, SO GO VOTE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: UP NOW ARE 18 YOUNG
DANCERS WHO MOVE AS ONE, AND THEIR INCREDIBLE PRECISION IS
NEXT LEVEL. THEY'RE HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD
WHAT THEY CAN DO, AND THEY'RE HERE TO WIN.
FROM NAGOYA, JAPAN, HERE'S SABRINA.
>> SHOPPING. >> EATING.
>> AND CAFE. >> THIS IS THE DANCE STUDIO WE
ALWAYS HANG OUT AT. [ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL
LANGUAGE ] >> WE ARE NORMAL GIRLS, BUT WHEN
WE PUT ON OUR COSTUMES, WE ARE FIERCE DANCERS.
* WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER * >> Simon: YOU'VE GOT A REAL SHOT
OF WINNING AFTER THAT. >> WE WANT TO SHOW WE ARE THE
BEST IN THE WORLD. >> THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE.
>> FOR THIS PERFORMANCE EVERYTHING IS BETTER.
>> COSTUMES -- BETTER. >> CHOREOGRAPHY -- BETTER.
>> EVERYTHING -- BETTER. >> WE WANT TO WHEN.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: SABRINA! WOW.
SOFIA? >> Sofia: THEY ARE AWESOME.
I MEAN, I THINK -- EVERYONE IS GOING CRAZY.
THE MUSIC, THE WAY YOU GUYS LOOK, THE SYNCHRONICITY, YOU CAN
TELL YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN SO MUCH WORK.
CONGRATULATIONS. >> Terry: SIMON, YOU SEE THE
REACTION IN HERE? >> Simon: I WAS LOOKING AROUND,
TERRY. JUDGING BY THE AUDIENCE
REACTION, THIS IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST REACTION WE'VE HAD SO
FAR. THAT'S ALWAYS A VERY GOOD SIGN.
THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS WE DID HAVE A GROUP WHO WON THE
SHOW, THE MAYAS, A FEW YEARS AGO, WHO WERE SPECTACULAR.
THAT WASN'T AS GOOD. [ CROWD BOOING ]
HOWEVER, I THINK -- BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE BETTER.
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS SHOW.
THINGS HAVE JUST GOT TO GET BETTER.
IT WAS GREAT. IT'S THE BEST SO FAR, BUT
THERE'S STILL WORK TO DO I THINK.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: FIRST OF ALL, SIMON,
THEY'RE NOT COMPETING WITH SOMEBODY THAT WAS ON THREE YEARS
AGO. TALKING ABOUT THE COMPETITION,
WE HAVE THREE GOLDEN BUZZERS AS JUDGES.
TWO OF MY GOLDEN BUZZERS WERE DANCE TROOPS.
THIS IS THE YEAR OF DANCE. THE BAR IS SET HIGHER IN DANCE
THIS YEAR THAN ANY OTHER YEAR. YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. THE COSTUMES, THE CHOREOGRAPHY
AND EVERYTHING. BEST OF LUCK.
ONLY THREE GOING THROUGH. IT'S UP TO YOU, AMERICA.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I FEEL LIKE THAT YOU
ARE A HYBRID OF AVANT GUARDE AND MAYAS TOGETHER.
I BELIEVE WITH THIS PERFORMANCE AMERICA WILL VOTE YOU THROUGH TO
THE NEXT ROUND. FINGERS CROSSED.
I THINK YES. >> Terry: SABRINA, THAT WAS
FANTASTIC. I HAVE TO ASK, WHICH ONE OF YOU
IS SABRINA? >> NONE OF US, BUT ALL OF US.
>> Terry: ALL OF THEM. >> WE ARE --
[ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE ]
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY. REMEMBER, ONLY THREE ACTS CAN GO
INTO THE SEMI-FINAL, SO MAKE SURE YOUR FAVORITE IS ONE OF
THEM. LET'S KEEP IT GOING.
HERE'S OUR NEXT ACT. "AGT" OFFERS THE CHANCE TO MAKE
YOUR DREAM COME TRUE AND LIVE THE LIFE YOU REALLY WANT.
THIS ACT IS A DENTIST BY DAY, BUT THE REST OF THE TIME SHE
PURSUES HER PASSION -- BEING AN AERIAL PERFORMER.
FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, HERE'S KELSEY JANE.
THE JUDGES. I'M NERVOUS TO TELL YOU, BUT I
AM DENTIST. PUBLIC SPEAKING IS NOT MY THING.
>> Sofia: THAT WAS SPECTACULAR. >> I'VE ALWAYS COMMUNICATED WITH
MY BODY MOVEMENT. PERFORMING IS DEFINITELY MY
COMFORT ZONE. AFTER THE AUDITION I WENT BACK
TO MY DENTAL OFFICE. I WAS DOING SOME FILLINGS AND A
PATIENT REALIZED I WAS ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
MIFF HAND WAS IN THE MOUTH AND MY JAW ON THE FLOOR WHEN THAT
HAPPENED. I STARTED IN BALLET WHEN I WAS 3
YEARS OLD. GROWING UP, IT WAS THE THING I
DID. I WAS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN
AERIAL. I THOUGHT YOU COULD ONLY LEARN
THAT AT A YOUNG AGE. I SAW "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN" AND
I SAW AN ACTRESS FLYING THROUGH THE AGEIR.
I THOUGHT IF THEY COULD TEACH HER, WHY NOT ME?
I'M JUST A NORMAL PERSON WITH A NORMAL JOB.
I CAME TO "AGT" BECAUSE I WANT MORE THAN JUST A NORMAL LIFE.
THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING AN
AERIALIST EVERY DAY. THAT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE.
>> Terry: AFTER THE BREAK, KELSEY JANE GETS HER SHOT.
THE PRESSURE'S ON, WHEN WE COME BACK.
* >> Terry: BEFORE THE BREAK WE
MET DENTIST FROM VEGAS WITH A BIG DREAM.
MAKE SOME NOISE FOR KELSEY JANE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* *
ALL MY LIFE HELD IT IN * I'VE BEEN CLOSING THE DOOR
ALL MY LIFE HELD IT IN BUT NOT ANYMORE *
* GOT TWO FEET ON THE FLOOR THIS IS IT
I'M STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE *
* PARDON MY IMPOSITION BUT THIS IS MY CONVICTION
I NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY MIND *
* I GOTTA BE ME GOTTA BE I
GOTTA BE WHO I KNOW I AM INSIDE *
* CAN FINALLY BREATHE TAKING IT IN
LOOK AT ME FLYING * * IF I WERE TO BE
ANYBODY ELSE I'D JUST BE HIDING
WHO I AM WHO I AM * * LOOKIN' BACK
BACK ON A LITTLE BOY NEVER GAVE HIM A CHANCE
TO EVER BE MORE * * I DIDN'T LOVE HIM
BUT I'M GONNA LOVE HIM RIGHT NOW AND FOREVER *
* IT'S TIME TO PUSH OPEN THE DOOR *

IT JUST TOOK ME A MINUTE TO FIND IT
WHO I AM YEAH * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: KELSEY JANE! HEIDI, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET?
>> Heidi: YEAH, BECAUSE -- >> Terry: DO YOU FEEL IT?
>> Heidi: I AM -- GUYS -- >> Terry: STANDING OVATION.
>> Heidi: I KNOW. I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF TALK.
I AM FASCINATED BY YOU BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE KNOWS BUT
YOU'RE DENTIST AND YOU JUST DO THIS AS A HOBBY.
FOR ME THIS IS ALREADY MIND BLOWING.
OKAY. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS FLAWLESS
WHAT YOU DID UP THERE. YOU KNOW, I LOVE WHAT YOU DO UP
THERE. WHAT I LOVE THE MOST IS YOUR
SMILE. THE ENTIRE TIME, THE BEAUTY OF
YOUR FACE -- >> Simon: THAT'S GOOD FOR
DENTIST. >> Heidi: THE ATHLETICISM,
EVERYTHING, YOU'RE ALWAYS SMILING.
IT'S AMAZING. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: I'M SORRY. I THINK SHE DID THAT, SHE'S
CLIMBING TO THE CEILING AND SHE'S DENTIST AND THE BEST THING
YOU LOVE ABOUT HER IS HER SMILE. >> Heidi: YOU DIDN'T HEAR
EVERYTHING. >> Howie: WE SEE A LOT OF THIS.
I'M GOING TO BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU, THIS KIND OF ACT,
UNLESS IT'S SPECTACULAR, IT BORES ME.
IF THIS WAS A DENTAL CONVENTION, YOU WERE GREAT.
[ CROWD BOOING ] IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE MORE
THEE MA TICK. IF IT WAS FLOSS AND IT WAS A
BEAUTIFUL FLOSSING -- >> Terry: I'M GOING TO SOFIA.
SOFIA, YOU WERE ONCE CONTEMPLATING A DENTAL CAREER.
WHAT DID YOU THINK? >> Sofia: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT
HAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING. KELSEY, I DO THINK YOU WERE
AMAZING. WE LOVED YOU DURING THE
AUDITION. I LOVE YOU TODAY.
MAYBE I DIDN'T LOVE THE SONG, BUT I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT.
I LOVE THAT YOU DID VERY DANGEROUS THINGS TONIGHT, WHAT
FELT VERY DANGEROUS. >> Howie: SHE WAS ALMOST
DENTIST, WEREN'T YOU? >> Sofia: ALMOST.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: KELSEY, EXPLAIN TO US.
DENTISTS ARE LOADED. THEY ARE.
I KNOW THAT FOR A FACT. IF YOU'RE DENTIST AND YOU'RE
DOING REALLY WELL, WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
>> Heidi: BECAUSE IT'S FUN. >> Sofia: THIS IS HER DREAM.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, KELSEY.
SO, DO YOU WANT TO KEEP KELSEY'S DREAM ALIVE?
THEN SEND HER TO THE SEMI-FINAL. VOTING WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL
7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW. MAKE KELSEY SMILE.
>> Terry: THIS NEXT SINGER IS
ONLY 9 YEARS OLD. BUT AT THE AUDITIONS, SIMON SAID
HE HAD A GOD-GIVEN TALENT. FROM JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY,
>> THERE'S BODY GUARDS. I HOPE I DON'T GET TACKLED.
>> Simon: HAVE YOU BEEN KNOCKING ON MY DOOR?
COME ON. COME IN.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BEST SONG.
>> I THINK OF IT LIKE MY OWN LITTLE CONCERT.
>> Simon: THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY FUNNY ENOUGH.
KEEP IT YOUR OWN LITTLE CONCERT. >> WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING?
I SAT IN YOUR CHAIR TODAY. >> Simon: YOU DID?
WELL, I NEARLY GOT FIRED LAST NIGHT SO IT COULD HAPPEN.
>> SIMON, IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS, DO NOT GET FIRED.
>> Simon: YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GO TO A CONCERT AND YOU SAY, I WANT
TO HEAR THE BIG HIT? >> YEAH.
>> Simon: WHATEVER YOU SING, IT'S GOT TO BE THE BEST SONG OF
THE NIGHT. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
SAFE IS BAD. >> OH, MY GOSH.
I DID NOT THINK HE WAS GOING TO BE IN THERE.
I'M STILL SHOOK. >> YES, ME AS WELL.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M SPEAKING RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M LIVING RIGHT NOW.
WOW. AFTER GETTING THE ADVICE FROM
SIMON, I'M GOING TO BE ADDING A WHOLE BUNCH OF HIGH NOTES.
I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO PLAY IT SAFE.
I'M PUSHING MY VOCAL RANGE WAY HIGHER.
I'M SINGING A COVER, BUT I MADE IT SOUND LIKE MY OWN SONG.
IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE ORIGINAL ANYMORE.
I REALLY WANT TO WIN. MY DREAM IS TO SING MY OWN MUSIC
ALL AND THE WORLD. I'LL GO OUT THERE AND SHOW
AMERICA WHAT MY CONCERT LOOKS LIKE.
AMERICA, HOPE YOU LIKE IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> I'M HERE TO SHOW YOU CLOWNING IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
>> Simon: THAT WASN'T CLOWNING. THAT WAS FANTASTIC.
>> WHEN I FIRST CAME TO AMERICA, I SAW SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW
EXISTED. *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: I AM SO PSYCHED FOR
THIS NEXT ACT, ‘CAUSE IT'S MY GOLDEN BUZZER.
HE'S A COMEDIAN WHO TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, AND MAN, DOES HE
MAKE IT FUNNY. FROM CHIMANIMANI IN ZIMBABWE,
HERE'S LEARNMORE JONASI. I STARTED GETTING CALLS, DOING
SHOWS NONSTOP. SO I PROMISED MYSELF, IF I EVER
WIN A GOLDEN BUZZER, I'M GOING TO PICK UP THE CONFETTI FROM THE
STAGE AND SHIP IT TO EVERYBODY THAT HAS HELPED ME IN MY CAREER.
I HAVE A PIECE OF CONFETTI TO ELYSA, TO MY MOM.
TO MY GRANDPA, THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BELIEVING IN ME.
>> HE'S KNOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD.
>> THE PERSON THAT INSPIRED ME TO BE THE COMEDIAN I AM TODAY IS
MY GRANDFATHER. THIS PARTICULAR DAY MY
GRANDFATHER WAS STRESSED ON WHERE HE WAS GOING TO GET MONEY
TO BUY FOOD. THEN HE TURNED ON THIS BLACK AND
WHITE TV AND THERE WAS COMEDY AND HE STARTED LAUGHING.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF I WANT TO
MAKE PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY. TO PREPARE FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW
I'VE BEEN DOING SHOWS ALL OVER AMERICA AND I SPOKE TO PREACHER
LAWSON AND MIKE RENFIELD. ANY ADVICE TO ME?
I WANT TO BE THE BEST COMEDIAN TO WIN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
THE NEXT LETTER I MAIL TO MY GRANDFATHER IS GOING TO HAVE
MONEY IN IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* PUT MY HANDS UP AND THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG *
* THE BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY * * YEAH, IT'S A PARTY IN THE
USA *
>> HELLO, EVERYBODY. OH, MY GOD, MAN.
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE. I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.
I JUST GOT MY GREEN CARD EVERYBODY.
I'M SO EXCITED, AS SOON AS I GOT MY GREEN CARD I FOUND MYSELF
BECOMING SO AMERICAN AFTER THAT. YEAH.
LIKE I EVEN HAVE AN ALLERGY NOW. YES, I HAVE A GLUTEN ALLERGY.
IT CAME WITH THE GREEN CARD, OKAY.
THEY MADE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN A GLUTEN ALLERGY AND ANXIETY, AND
I WAS LIKE GIVE ME BOTH. BECAUSE WHERE I COME FROM HAVING
AN ALLERGY IS FOR THE WEALTHY. IT'S A SIGN THAT YOU CAN AFFORD
IT. I TOLD MY COUSIN THAT I WAS NOW
ALLERGIC TO GLUTEN, HE WAS LIKE, "CONGRATULATIONS, I'M SO HAPPY
FOR YOU." WOW!
MY GRANDFATHER DOESN'T GET IT. I WAS LIKE, GRANDPA, I'M NOW
ALLERGIC TO GLUTEN. MY GRANDFATHER WAS LIKE, WE HAVE
ALWAYS KNOWN YOU'RE GAY. I WAS LIKE "WHAT?"
MY AUNTIE WAS LIKE "YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
LEARNMORE. TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER, JUST
KNOW THAT IN COLLEGE I WAS A LITTLE BIT GLUTEN-FREE MYSELF."
I WAS, LIKE, NO! I THINK IT'S YOUR FOOD.
YOUR FOOD IS TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME.
I BOUGHT CHICKEN THE OTHER DAY. THE INGREDIENTS SHOULD BE
CHICKEN, BUT IT WAS LISTED SKINLESS, BONELESS, SLICED,
MARINATED, PRECOOKED, MICROWAVE READY CHICKEN.
HOW LAZY ARE YOU AMERICANS? IT'S RIDICULOUS.
BECAUSE WHERE I COME FROM, EATING CHICKEN IS A FOUR-DAY
OPERATION, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CATCH IT FIRST.
A CHICKEN DOES NOT TRUST ANYONE. IT'S ALWAYS WALKING AROUND
LIKE -- THIS IS WHY I'M SKINNY.
I'VE BEEN CATCHING MY OWN CHICKEN.
LOOK AT SOME OF YOU AMERICANS. I CAN TELL NONE OF YOU HAVE TO
CATCH YOUR OWN CHICKENS. I'M JUST SAYING.
I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK ME, IS
LEARNMORE YOUR REAL NAME? IS LEARNMORE YOUR REAL NAME?
WELL, YES, BECAUSE ZIMBABWEANS, WE BELIEVE IF YOU GIVE YOUR
CHILD A NAME THEY WILL BECOME WHAT YOU NAME THEM.
MY NAME IS LEARNMORE. I LOVE LEARNING NEW THINGS.
MY MOTHER'S NAME IS MEMORY. SHE NEVER FORGETS THINGS.
MY FATHER'S NAME IS ABSENT. I'M JOKING.
I'M JOKING.
HIS NAME IS JOHN. YES, JOHN DOE.
I DON'T KNOW HIM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MY NAME IS LEARNMORE JONASI. >> Terry: LEARNMORE JONASI, HE'S
MY GOLDEN BUZZER. SOFIA?
>> Sofia: YOU ARE FUNNY, A FUNNY PERSON.
I LOVE THAT YOUR COMEDY IS SO JOYFUL.
>> THANK YOU. >> Sofia: AND RELATABLE.
YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Sofia: I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU TONIGHT.
I LOVE YOU. >> THANK YOU.
I LOVE YOU TOO. >> Terry: SIMON, DO YOU LOVE
HIM? >> Simon: YEAH.
I THINK HONESTLY YOU'RE ONE OF THE BEST CONTESTANTS, ACTS,
HUMAN BEINGS HONESTLY THIS YEAR. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WHEN
YOU PERFORM, WHICH IS WE ALL FEEL THAT WE REALLY KNOW YOU.
YOU KNOW? THE MORE THAT WE SEE, THE
MORE -- YEAH, THAT I THINK IS YOUR APPEAL.
YOU'RE JUST A NATURALLY FUNNY PERSON.
>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: I THINK WHAT YOU DO IS
UNIQUE. IT'S MEMORABLE.
I THINK YOU'VE GOT A REAL CAREER AHEAD OF YOU.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A CLICHE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT.
>> Terry: HOWIE, YOU KNOW COMEDY.
>> Howie: I DON'T KNOW BETTER THAN ANYBODY.
I KNOW WHAT I LIKE. I KNOW WHAT THE WORLD IS LOVING.
THEY'RE LOVING YOU. YOU'RE SO LIKABLE.
YOU'RE SO PHYSICAL. TO BE ABLE TO COME FROM ANOTHER
COUNTRY, A WHOLE OTHER CULTURE AND TOUCH THE FUNNY BONE OF
EVERYBODY IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRY OF EVERY AGE IS MAGIC.
YOU, SIR, ARE MAGIC. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I LOVE YOUR
ENTHUSIASM. YOU REALLY LIGHT UP THE STAGE.
YOU MADE US ALL LAUGH. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> I APPRECIATE YOU. >> Terry: LEARNMORE, YOU'RE FROM
A SMALL TOWN. HOW MANY PEOPLE STAYED UP TO
WATCH YOU TONIGHT? >> HUNDREDS.
MY GRANDMOTHER IS WATCHING. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.
I LOVE YOU >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
LEARNMORE. LOOK, I WANT TO SEE HIM IN THE
SEMI-FINAL, BUT IT'S UP TO YOU. IF YOU AGREE, VOTE FOR HIM.
GO TO NBC.COM AND GET ON THE APP AND VOTE.
>>> COMING UP, A NURSE WITH A POWERHOUSE VOICE SHOOTS FOR THE
SEMI-FINAL. IT'S DEE DEE SIMON, WHEN WE COME

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >>> Terry: THIS SINGER HAS DONE
19 YEARS IN SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON -- AS A NURSE.

HERE'S DEE DEE SIMON. >> DURING MY AUDITION, I WAS SO
NERVOUS. I SAID, GET THE SHOES OFF.

* I'M TELLIN' YOU * YOU GOT TO OWN THAT STAGE.
I WAS SINGING LIKE I WAS BACK IN MY KITCHEN WITH MY LITTLE
THREE-PERSON AUDIENCE. MY SON, MY HUSBAND AND THE FIRE
BALL, MY MAMA. GROWING UP MY MOTHER KNEW I
WANTED TO SING, BUT THEN I STARTED MY FAMILY AND BECAME A
NURSE. I LOVE JUST HELPING PEOPLE.
WORKING AT SAN QUENTIN HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS.
IT IS A PRISON. THERE'S A NO HOSTAGE POLICY.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GO IN, YOU MAY NOT GET OUT.
WHEN THE INMATES SAW I WAS ON "AGT," IT WAS LIKE THE SUPER
BOWL WAS HAPPENING. SHE'S ON!
ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LONG
LIST OF PEOPLE THAT WERE SICK. I'M LIKE, HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD
THIS COLD? SO HOW WAS "AGT"?
MY MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME GO AFTER THIS DREAM.
DEFINITELY TODAY IS THE DAY AND I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
I JUST KNOW IT. I JUST KNOW IT.
>> YOU'RE GONNA WIN IT. >> I LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOCKED YOUR SHOES OFF. YOU KNOCKED MY SHOES OFF.
SKETCHERS. I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, I
WOULD IMAGINE JELLY ROLL IS GOING TO BE POSTING THAT.
YOU MADE HIM PROUD. YOU MADE IT YOUR OWN.
YOU'RE AMAZING. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: YOU KNOW, WHAT I
LOVE -- I LOVE MOMENTS LIKE THIS WHEN, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE ISN'T A
FULL-TIME SINGER SAY, BUT HAS ALWAYS DREAMED OF IT AND GETS
THE OPPORTUNITY AND THERE WAS NO HOLDING YOU BACK.
THERE WAS NO FEAR. IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS
IS WHO I AM. THIS IS MY TIME.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] YOU JUST WENT FOR IT.
I LOVED THE MOMENT WHEN YOU KICKED SHOES OFF AND IT WENT UP
A GEAR. YOU KNOW, DEE DEE, I THINK
YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF A SHOT AT WINNING THE WHOLE COMPETITION.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: A REAL PERSON LIVING
HER DREAM. THAT WAS AMAZING, THE WHOLE
THING. THE SONG, THIS IS MORE YOUR
LANE. I LOVED THIS PERFORMANCE EVEN
BETTER THAN THE AUDITION. CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: HEIDI, WHAT DO YOU
THINK? >> Heidi: I MEAN, DEE DEE, THE
RANGE, THE TONE IN YOUR VOICE, YOU LOOK SO STUNNING TONIGHT.
I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS MISSING.
MAKE A SPARKLY BELT, A SPARKLY RING.
MY STOMACH IS FEELING IT. * WHAT A FEELING *
* FEELING'S BELIEVING * * I CAN HAVE IT ALL NOW I'M
DANCING FOR MY LIFE * * TAKE YOUR PASSION *

DEE DEE, HOW DO YOU FEEL? >> OH, MY GOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. AMERICA, I LOVE YOU.
SAN QUENTIN. THANK YOU, GOD.

YOU WERE THE BEST IN MY EYES TONIGHT.
YOU WERE AMAZING. >> Terry: DEE DEE!
EVERYBODY GIVE IT UP FOR DEE DEE SIMON, GOLDEN BUZZER WINNER.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] WOW.
ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS.
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: BEFORE THE BREAK,
SINGING DEE DEE SIMON HAD AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT WHEN THIS
HAPPENED. HEIDI'S GOLDEN BUZZER PUTS DEE
DEE STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE FINALS.
JUST LOOK AT HOW HER FAMILY CELEBRATED.
IT'S WHAT EVERY ACT DREAMS OF. BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO DEE DEE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] OKAY.
TOMORROW NIGHT, THE RESULTS SHOW WILL BE OFF AND RUNNING AT
8:00 P.M. THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE ACTS WILL
MAKE THE SEMI-FINAL, AND IT WILL FEATURE AN EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE
FROM, NOT ONE, BUT TWO OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST SINGING STARS,
GRAMMY WINNER LAUREN DAIGLE AND YOU KNOW HER FROM "AGT," LOREN
ALLRED. THAT IS GONNA BE SOMETHING
SPECIAL. THAT'S THE RESULTS SHOW AT 8:00,
TOMORROW NIGHT. UP NEXT TONIGHT IS A ROCK
GODDESS. THAT'S WHAT SIMON CALLED HER AT
THE AUDITIONS. SHE PLAYS GUITAR LIKE, WELL,
LIKE A ROCKSTAR. AND SHE'S ONLY 11-YEARS-OLD.
FROM CHENNAI, INDIA, HERE'S MAYA NEELAKANTAN.
>> THE FIRST F TIME I EVER PICKED UP A GUITAR IS WHEN I WAS
6. ONCE I PLAYED, I JUST LOVED IT.
I WAS ALWAYS PLAYING GUITAR HERO WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER TOO.
MY DAD PLAYS GUITAR AS A HOBBY SO HE STARTED TEACHING ME HOW TO
PLAY. ONCE I SAW HEAVY METAL BANDS
PLAYING ON YOUTUBE, THAT WAS SO FUN.
I'M GOING TO L.A. I WANTED TO GO TO "AGT" BECAUSE
I REALLY LOVED IT. I DID NOT EVER EXPECT SOMETHING
THIS BIG TO BE HAPPENING. >> Simon: YOU'RE A TEN AND THEN
YOU TURNED INTO THIS ROCK GOD
GODDESS. >> IT'S SO UNBELIEVABLE HE SAID
THAT. AFTER MY AUDITION, I GOT TO MEET
GARY HOLT, ERIC PETERSON AND THEY ALL TAUGHT ME SO MANY
DIFFERENT THINGS. TONIGHT I'LL BE PLAYING A
METALLICA SONG. IT'S SO MUCH MORE FASTER, CRAZY
INTENSE THAN MY AUDITION SONG. I'M THE FIRST ACT METALLICA HAS
GIVEN PERMISSION TO PLAY ON "AGT."
I WANT TO MAKE METALLICA PROUD. WE'RE GOING TO ROCK THE HOUSE
AND IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG PARTY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *
*
>> "AGT," ARE YOU READY? *
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: MAYA NEELAKANTAN. HOWIE?
>> Howie: THAT WAS LIKE VAN HALEN REINCARNATED.
YOU'RE AMAZING ON THAT. NOT ONLY THAT, THE FACT YOU WERE
MIXING IT IN WITH YOUR CULTURE AND MAKING IT SOUND LIKE A
GUITAR AND YOUR SMILE. YOU WOULDN'T THINK IT WOULD COME
FROM YOU. YOU ARE A SURPRISE.
YOU'RE AMAZING. I LOVE YOU.
I THINK AMERICA'S GOING TO LOVE YOU TOO.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: HEIDI?
>> Heidi: YOU'RE AMAZING. YOU'RE PERFECTLY YOU.
I I LOVED THAT YOU PICKED THIS
INSTRUMENT AND YOU'RE SO AMAZING ON IT.
WELL DONE. I HOPE AMERICA VOTES FOR YOU.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE
THAT'S REALLY ALL THIS MUSIC COMING OUT OF YOU.
IT'S SUPER SURPRISING. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
THE SONG WAS PERFECT. I MEAN, THAT WAS THE MOST FUN
I'VE HAD TONIGHT. >> OH, THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: IT WAS JUST WILD.
I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING. I GOT TO SAY A BIG, BIG THANK
YOU TO METALLICA FOR GIVING YOU THAT SONG.
>> Heidi: THAT WAS SO COOL. >> Simon: THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
VERY OFTEN. I THINK YOU'RE JUST ONE OF THESE
PEOPLE WHO HAS A GOD-GIVEN TALENT.
IT'S ALWAYS BRILLIANT TO BE SURPRISED.
IT'S ALSO GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE IMPROVE FROM THEIR FIRST
AUDITION. THIS WAS A REAL STEP UP.
>> Sofia: BRAVO. >> Simon: I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'VE GOT TO
DO FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU'RE SO GOOD AT IT.
I MEAN, SERIOUSLY. THAT WAS BRILLIANT.
BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: MAYA, YOU PLAYED A LEGENDARY SONG BY METALLICA.
HOW DID IT FEEL TO PLAY? >> SO AMAZING.
I'M SO HONORED I GOT TO PLAY METALLICA FOR THE FIRST TIME ON
"AGT." THANK YOU, METALLICA.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, MAYA.
WANT TO HEAR MORE GUITAR SHREDDING INTO SEMI-FINAL?
THEN VOTE FOR MAYA. GO TO NBC.COM AND USE THE "AGT"
APP. YOU HAVE THE POWER.
>>> COMING UP -- >> Heidi: I STRANGELY LIKED IT.
YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU HAVE KNIVES NEAR YOUR THROAT
*
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: DO YOU WANT TO BE A
STAR? DO YOU WANT TO LIVE THE DREAM?
THEN COME AND AUDITION FOR NEXT SEASON.
OUR NEXT VIRTUAL OPEN CALL IS OCTOBER 19th, OR YOU CAN SUBMIT
A VIDEO ONLINE AT ANY TIME. GO TO AGTAUDITIONS.COM.
THIS IS YOUR TIME. >>> NOW, HERE'S A YOUNG SINGER
WITH AN OLD SOUL. HE'S ONLY 15, BUT HIS VOICE IS
INCREDIBLE. IN FACT, HE GOT THE GOLDEN
BUZZER FROM HOWIE AT THE AUDITIONS.
FROM MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, HERE'S REID WILSON.
NERVOUS SINCE I GOT HERE. OH!
>> SO WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO KNOCK ON SIMON'S TRAILER?
>> I MEAN WHY NOT? IT'S RIGHT THERE.
WE WERE ALREADY RECORDING. I WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM TO BE
HOME. I WAS GOING TO KNOCK ON IT FOR
FUN. >> Simon: SONG CHOICE, IS IT A
COVER OR YOUR OWN SONG? >> I'M DOING A COVER.
>> Simon: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> I'M DOING A COVER.
>> Simon: I THINK WHEN YOU DO A COVER YOU HAVE TO ALMOST
REINVENT THE SONG. IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU OWN THE
SONG NOW, LIKE YOU WROTE IT. THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD SOUND
LIKE SO EVERYONE GOES, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SONG COULD SOUND LIKE
THAT. OTHERWISE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
DOING YOUR OWN VERSION AND BEING A KARAOKE SINGER.
>> I WAS TAKING IT ALL IN, EVERYTHING HE SAID.
IT WAS LIKE A MIND-BLOWING EXPERIENCE.
EVER SINCE SIMON GAVE ME THAT ADVICE, I'M ADDING THAT WOW
FACTOR MOMENT AND CHANGING IT TO BE MY OWN.
>> WE'LL TRY HERE AND THERE. >> I WANT TO WIN "AGT" BECAUSE
IT WOULD HELP ME BECOME A STAR AND, TWO, MY PARENTS MADE ME A
PROMISE. >> WHAT'S THE PROMISE?
>> THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO BUY A DOG.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * I'D LIKE TO SAY
WE GAVE IT A TRY * * I'D LIKE TO
BLAME IT ALL ON LIFE * * MAYBE WE JUST WEREN'T RIGHT *
* BUT THAT'S A LIE THAT'S A LIE *
* AND WE CAN DENY IT AS MUCH AS WE WANT *
* BUT IN TIME OUR FEELINGS WILL SHOW *
* 'CAUSE SOONER OR LATER WE'LL WONDER WHY WE GAVE UP *
* THE TRUTH IS EVERYONE KNOWS OH *
* ALMOST ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH *
* SO CLOSE TO BEING IN LOVE * * IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN
THAT YOU WANTED ME THE WAY I WANTED YOU *
* THEN MAYBE WE WOULDN'T BE TWO WORLDS APART *
* BUT RIGHT HERE IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS *
* AND WE ALMOST WE ALMOST KNEW WHAT LOVE WAS *
* BUT ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH * * THE TRUTH IS
EVERYONE KNOWS ALMOST ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH
IS NEVER ENOUGH BABY * * WE WERE CLOSE
SO CLOSE TO BEING IN LOVE * * THEN MAYBE WE WOULDN'T BE
TWO WORLDS APART BUT RIGHT HERE
IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS * * AND WE ALMOST
WE ALMOST KNEW WHAT LOVE WAS *
* BABY, BUT ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH *
* SO CLOSE TO BEING IN LOVE * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: REID WILSON! HOWIE, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER AND
YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET AGAIN. >> Howie: DID I KNOW WHAT I WAS
KNOWING? DID I KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING?
>> Heidi: OKAY, YOU DID. >> Howie: THE FACT THAT YOU'RE
15 YEARS OLD AND YOU HAVE SO MUCH POISE, SO MUCH CONTROL,
YOUR VOICE IS SO CLEAR AND CRISP.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. I THINK YOU'RE SO CLOSE TO
GETTING A DOG. >> Heidi: WHAT?
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: YOU REMINDED ME --
BECAUSE YOU'RE SO HANDSOME YOU LOOK LIKE DAVID BOWIE.
THAT OUTFIT, THE SONG. I MEAN, I LOVED YOUR AUDITION.
TONIGHT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU BELONG ON THAT STAGE.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: I REALLY DO BELIEVE,
REID, THIS IS GOING TO BE -- SINGING IS GOING TO BE YOUR
CAREER. IT IS SO IMPORTANT, BY THE WAY,
RIGHT NOW -- FORGET ABOUT POSTING STUFF ONLINE.
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU JUST DID TONIGHT.
GET ON A STAGE. DO IT LIVE.
PERFORM IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE. IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO HAVE A SHOT GOING FORWARD.
I ALSO THOUGHT YOU'VE GOT REAL SOUL IN YOUR VOICE.
>> Sofia: YES. >> Simon: GENUINELY.
AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IT WAS SUCH FUN TALKING TO YOU AND YOUR FRIEND
LAST WEEK. I MEAN, I WAS REALLY, REALLY
WANTING YOU TO DO WELL TONIGHT, AND YOU DID.
I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU. >> Terry: HEIDI?
>> Heidi: YOU WERE SO, SO GOOD. YOU CAN REALLY HOLD YOUR OWN ON
THAT STAGE. EVERYONE WAS SO QUIET TRYING TO
HEAR EVERY SYLLABLE YOU WERE SINGING.
IT WAS EPIC. OF COURSE IT WAS BETTER THAN
WHAT I JUST DID. YOU WERE AMAZING.
>> Terry: REID, HOW DID IT FEEL TO GET A STANDING OVATION FROM
THE AUDIENCE AND THE JUDGES?
>> IT FEELS AMAZING. I MEAN, MY FAMILY'S UP THERE.
THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET AND ALL THE JUDGES.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR. I'M SO THANKFUL.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, REID.
REMEMBER PEOPLE, ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHO MAKES THE
SEMI-FINALS. IF YOU WANT REID TO MAKE IT,
VOTE. OKAY.
LET'S KEEP IT MOVING. HERE'S OUR LAST ACT OF THE
NIGHT. IF YOU'RE A CLOWN AND YOU
IMPRESS SIMON COWELL, YOU ARE DEFINITELY ONTO SOMETHING.
SIMON DOES NOT LIKE CLOWNS, BUT HE SAID THIS GUY'S AUDITION WAS
FANTASTIC. AND PEOPLE, DON'T EVEN THINK OF
TRYING ANYTHING YOU SEE AT HOME. FROM SUFFERN, NEW YORK, HERE'S
JELLYBOY THE CLOWN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> MY NAME IS ERIC BROOMFIELD. MY TRANSFORMATION INTO JELLYBOY
THE CLOWN BEGINS WHEN I PUT THE MAKE-UP ON.
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME CHANGES. I BECOME THIS OTHER PERSON.
EVERYBODY TOLD ME SIMON DOESN'T LIKE CLOWNS.
SO I KNEW THAT I HAD TO COME OUT THERE AND CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
20 YEARS AGO I WANTED TO PLAY ROCK 'N ROLL.
I STARTED SINGING IN A BAND. I STARTED DRESSING OUTRAGEOUSLY
AND KIND OF DIVE INTO FINDING MY ALTER EGO.
THAT'S WHERE JELLYBOY THE CLOWN CAME FROM.
SIDE SHOW JUST TOOK OVER MY LIFE.
>> Simon: WE NORMALLY GET -- OH. THAT WAS FANTASTIC.
>> BEING PART OF THIS COMPETITION MATTERS TO ME
BECAUSE BEHIND THE CLOWN MAKE-UP I'M A PERSON FOLLOWING HIS
DREAM. I HAVE A FAMILY NOW.
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY YOU GOT A KID, YOUR LIFE IS OVER NOW,
BUDDY. YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY NOT LIKE
THAT. >> I WANT TO SEE ZOMBIE.
>> I WANT MY SON TO GROW UP SEEING THAT MY DAD CHASED HIS
DREAMS AND GRABBED THEM AND CAUGHT THEM.
I'VE BEEN WORKING HARDER ON THIS ACT THAN I THINK I'VE EVER
WORKED ON ANY ACT IN MY LIFE. TONIGHT'S SHOW COULD LAND ME IN
THE HOSPITAL, BUT IT COULD ALSO LAND ME IN THE SEMI-FINALS.
NOW IT'S ON. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: AFTER THE BREAK, JELLYBOY HAS JUST A COUPLE OF
MINUTES TO BLOW YOUR MINDS. CAN HE DO IT?
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: WELL, GIVEN WHAT HE DID AT THE AUDITIONS, ANYTHING
COULD HAPPEN NOW. BRACE YOURSELVES.
FROM NEW YORK, HERE'S JELLYBOY THE CLOWN.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *
* WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD MEN GONE AND
WHERE ARE ALL THE GODS * * WHERE'S THE
STREETWISE HERCULES TO FIGHT THE RISING ODDS *
* ISN'T THERE THE RIGHT KNIGHT
UPON A FIERY STEED * * LATE AT NIGHT
I TOSS AND I TURN AND I DREAM OF WHAT I NEED *
* I NEED A HERO * * UP WHERE THE MOUNTAINS
MEET THE HEAVENS ABOVE YEAH OUT WHERE THE LIGHTNING
SPLITS THE SEA * * I COULD SWEAR
THERE IS SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WATCHING ME *
* THROUGH THE WIND AND THE CHILL AND THE RAIN YEAH
AND THE STORM AND THE FLOOD *
* I CAN FEEL HIS APPROACH LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD *
* I NEED A HERO I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO
'TIL THE END OF THE NIGHT * * HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG
AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOT TO BE
FRESH FROM THE FIGHT * * I NEED A HERO
I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT *
* AND HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON
AND HE'S GOT TO BE LARGER THAN LIFE *
* I NEED A HERO I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO
'TIL THE END OF THE NIGHT * * HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG
AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOT TO BE
FRESH FROM THE FIGHT * * I NEED A HERO
I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT
YEAH * * HE'S GOTTA BE SURE
AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOT TO BE
LARGER THAN LIFE * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: JELLYBOY THE CLOWN. SIMON, YOU LOVED IT.
SIMON, YOU DON'T NORMALLY LIKE CLOWNS.
WHAT'S GOING ON? >> Simon: I LIKED IT BECAUSE
IT'S SOMETHING I'M GOING TO REMEMBER TOMORROW.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE EAT A SANDWICH, STICK SOMETHING DOWN
THEIR THROAT LIKE THAT AND THEN SEE WHAT'S ON IT WHEN YOU BRING
THE SWORD UP. I MEAN, THAT DESERVES A STANDING
APPLAUSE. I'M SORRY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST REALLY ACTS LIKE THIS. I SHOULDN'T, BUT I DO.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I DON'T KNOW WHY WAS
IT NECESSARY FOR HIM TO COME AND DO IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
>> Simon: SO WE COULD SEE IT'S REAL.
>> Sofia: FOR WHAT? >> Heidi: SO WE CAN HAVE A
BETTER LOOK WHEN IT COMES OUT WITH THE PEANUT BUTTER ON IT.
>> Sofia: I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING MORE HORRIFIC AND
EXCITING. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: WE ALWAYS KNOW WHEN
YOU COME IT'S GOING TO BE STRANGE.
IT STILL STARTLES ME AND GROSSES ME OUT, BUT I STILL WANT TO SEE
A LITTLE MORE WHEN YOU DO. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: WELL, I SAW HIM COME UP HERE AND EAT A PEANUT BUTTER
SANDWICH. THE NEXT THING I KNOW HEIDI WAS
ON MY LAP AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
>> Heidi: I'M SORRY. >> Howie: DON'T APOLOGIZE.
I'VE HAD MORE FUN TONIGHT THAN I'VE EVER HAD ON THE SHOW.
THANK YOU. >> Terry: HOW DO PEOPLE REACT
WHEN THEY SEE YOU ON THE STREET, MAN?
>> WHEN PEOPLE SEE ME ON THE STREET IN MAKE-UP, I GET A MIXED
REACTION. SOME PEOPLE SCREAM.
SOME PEOPLE LAUGH. ONE GUY FELL OFF HIS BIKE THE
OTHER DAY. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK, JELLYBOY.
OKAY. ONLY THREE ACTS CAN GO INTO THE
SEMI-FINAL. WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE GO
