COMPETITION IN THE WORLD. NOW, YOUR VOTES WILL DECIDE
WHICH THREE ACTS GO THROUGH. BUT ONE MORE ACT WILL GO
STRAIGHT INTO THE FINALS TONIGHT, THANKS TO ONE OF OUR
JUDGES. HI, JUDGES.

JUDGE HAS BEEN ABLE TO USE THE LIVE GOLDEN BUZZER TO PUT THEIR
FAVORITE ACT INTO THE FINALS. AND THIS WEEK, SIMON COWELL IS
FINALLY GETTING HIS HANDS ON THE BUTTON.

ALL ABOUT YOUR VOTES AND THE SPOTS IN THE SEMIFINAL.

CREW TO STAND OUT AND DO SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T SEEN
BEFORE. BUT THIS ACT WAS SO
EXTRAORDINARY AT THE AUDITIONS, HOWIE HIT THE GOLDEN BUZZER.
FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, HERE'S BRENT STREET.
>> WE'VE BEEN DREAMING OF THIS FOR OUR ENTIRE LIVES.
I PERSONALLY GREW UP WATCHING "AGT" FROM WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS
OLD. >> OUR LAST AUDITIONS, I THOUGHT
THEY WENT REALLY WELL. AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I LOOKED
TO MY LEFT AT SIMON. OH, NO, HE HATED IT.
AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN. BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
TO GET IT, YOU HAVE TO AUDITION. PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD JUST TO TRAIN THERE. >> TODAY WE'RE STARTING A NEW
ROUTINE. >> WE'RE ALL REALLY CLOSE.
>> DEFINITELY TOO CLOSE. SOMETIMES.

>> IT'S A PROCESS. >> WHOSE FAULT W WAS IT?
>> THE DREAM IS TO BE GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED.
>> DANCE IS OFTEN IN THE BACKGROUND, AND WE'D LOVE FOR
MORE OF THE WORLD TO SEE IT. >> ACTUALLY IT'S TERRIFYING,
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE THIS TIME,
WE ARE ADDING PROP, STAGING, BIG CHOREOGRAPHY.
WE PUT ALL THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS TOGETHER THAT ARE
REALLY UNIQUE, AND I THINK IT CAN GET US TO THE NEXT ROUND.

>> Terry: BRENT STREET, HOWIE, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER, WOW!
WOW! [ CHEERING ]
AMAZING. AMAZING.
WE HAVE THREE GOLDEN BUZZERS THIS SEASON.
YOU GUYS ARE ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN IN
MY WHOLE LIFE. THE WAY YOU WERE ABLE TO SHADOW
EACH OTHER, YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE TABLE.
THE WAY YOU USED THE PROPS, THE WAY YOU USED THE TABLES, THE WAY
YOU USED THE FLOOR. YOUR CHOREOGRAPHY, EVERYTHING.
I WANT TO LEAVE TIME RIGHT NOW FOR SIMON TO HIT THE GOLDEN
BUZZER. SO, SIMON?
[ CHEERING ] >> Heidi: HEIDI, WHAT DO YOU
THINK? >> Heidi: IT WAS SO AMAZING.
I LOVED THE CHOREOGRAPHY. IT WAS SO DIFFERENT.
YOU REALLY THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
YOU THINK OF NEW WAYS TO DANCE AND SHOW US SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
MANY, MANY WILD MOMENTS. WE WENT WOW OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
>> YES. >> Heidi: THAT GOLDEN BUZZER, I
WAS RIGHT THERE. >> Sofia: YOU GUYS ARE
DEFINITELY NOT A REGULAR BAND GROUP THAT WAS SPECTACULAR.
IT EVEN FELT LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF DANGER, NO?
>> Howie: IT WAS AMAZING! >> Sofia: I LOVED THE WHOLE
THING, THE OUTFITS, THE MUSIC. YOU GUYS ARE SO MANY, BUT SO IN
SYNC. >> Heidi: YES.
>> Terry: SIMON, ARE YOU ITCHING FOR THAT GOLDEN BUZZER, BROTHER?
[ CHEERING ] >> Simon: NO, I'M NOT, AND I'LL
TELL YOU WHY. I SAW THE SECOND HALF --
[ BOOING ] THE SECOND HALF WAS AMAZING.
[ BOOING ] THE FIRST HALF, I DON'T KNOW, IT
FELT TOO HAUPBEAT, A LITTLE BIT SLOW.
LOOK, I WILL SAY THIS. I THINK FOR YOU -- YOU'RE FROM
AUSTRALIA, RIGHT? SO YOU COME ALL THIS WAY.
THE AVERAGE AGE OF THIS GROUP IS ABOUT 17 YEARS OLD.
YOU ARE VERY SMART, VERY CREATIVE.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR WITH THE DANCE,
SOMETHING DIFFERENT. >> Terry: ALL RIGHT, GOOD LUCK
TONIGHT, EVERYBODY. OKAY.
NOW IT'S ON YOU AT HOME. WHO DO YOU WANT IN THE
SEMIFINALS? VOTING IS OPEN NOW.
YOU CAN VOTE AT NBC.COM AND YOU CAN USE THE "AGT" APP.
SO GO GET BUSY! COMING UP --
>> Howie: THE MIXTURE OF MAGIC AND PERFORMANCE MADE IT SO MUCH
MORE SPECIAL. >> Heidi: OH, MY GOSH.
WE EXPECT A LOT OF THINGS. *
>> Terry: THIS ACT MOVES TO LAS VEGAS.
BUT VEGAS IS NOT ALL BRIGHT LIGHTS AND BILLBOARDS, AND THESE
TWO HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP THE STRUGGLE TO PURSUE THEIR
AMERICAN DREAM. HERE ILLYA AND ANASTASIIA.
>> HOW DOES THIS STAGE COMPARE TO PERFORMING ON THE STREET IN
VEGAS? >> WE CAN'T COMPARE.
STREET AND THE BIGGEST STAGE IN THE WORLD.
WE CAME TO THE UNITED STATES 2020 FROM UKRAINE.
>> WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. HER NAME IS ELIZABETH.
>> AND MY FATHER ALL HIS LIFE WAS AN ACROBAT.
AND HE TEACH ME AND MY TWIN BROTHER ACROBATIC SKILLS.
WE PERFORM ON THE STREET. WE STAND OUT THERE, MAKE MONEY.
IT'S A HARD LIFE, BUT EVERY DAY WE SEE THE BILLBOARD, THIS IS
OUR DREAM. SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
MY LAST PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD. >> Simon: THIS IS WHAT I CALL A
10. >> BUT WE WANT TO GROW.
THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ACT I'VE EVER DONE.
SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION. IT MAKES ME HIGHER, CLOSER TO
GOD. NOBODY, BIGGEST TRICK IN THE
WORLD, NOBODY, NOWHERE. LET'S SEE!
I'M GETTING OLDER. I CAN'T DO MY JOB ON THE STREET
FOREVER. YOU HAVE TO SPTHINK ABOUT YOUR
FAMILY. THIS IS MY CHANCE TO PROVE WE
ARE READY TO CREATE THE BIGGEST SHOW.
THIS IS AMERICAN DREAM. [ CHEERING ]

HEIDI, YOU ARE ON YOUR FEET. WOW!
WHAT DID YOU THINK, HEIDI? >> Heidi: I THINK YOU GUYS ARE
FANTASTIC, AND YOU REALLY DESERVE THIS CHAMPAGNE TOAST.
I DON'T KNOW. YOU KIND OF PUT AN ACT TOGETHER
THAT KEEPS US ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS.
I REALLY, REALLY ENJOYED IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!
THANK YOU! >> Terry: SOFIA?
>> Sofia: I HAD A GREAT TIME TONIGHT WATCHING YOU BECAUSE I
KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO YOU. I THINK IF YOU DO WELL TONIGHT,
IF PEOPLE LOVE YOU TONIGHT, THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
I REALLY HOPE SO. [ CHEERING ]
YOUR TALENT IS VERY, VERY, VERY UNIQUE AND DIFFICULT.
CONGRATULATIONS. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: I THINK WITH AN ACT LIKE THIS, YOU ALWAYS THINK
ABOUT VEGAS. I DON'T THINK THAT IS A VEGAS
ACT. I DON'T.
REALLY -- [ BOOING ]
REALLY, REALLY REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH WHAT YOU COULD
HAVE DONE TONIGHT. IT FELT TOO SMALL.
IT DIDN'T FEEL BIG ENOUGH. [ BOOING ]
I'M JUST DISAPPOINTED. >> Terry: HOWIE, HOW DO YOU
FEEL? >> Howie: I THINK WHAT SIMON IS
TRYING TO SAY IS THAT SIZE MATTERS.
BUT I THOUGHT YOU DELIVERED. I THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER THAN THE
AUDITION. [ CHEERING ]
AND I THINK ANASTASIIA, YOU, YOUNG LADY, WERE EVEN BETTER
THAN YOU WERE AT THE AUDITIONS. >> Terry: ALL RIGHT, GOOD LUCK
TONIGHT. LISTEN, YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO CAN PUT ACTS INTO THE SEMI-FINAL.
IF YOU WANT THESE TWO TO MAKE IT, VOTE.
AFTER THE BREAK, A YOUNG SINGER WHOSE AUDITION HAS MADE HIM A
HEARTTHROB. IT'S OSCAR STEMBRIDGE, WHEN WE
>> Terry: YOU KNOW, LIVE "AGT" IS A TWO-WAY STREET.
WE BRING YOU THE SHOW AND YOU LET US KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE, WHAT
YOU DON'T LIKE, QUESTIONS YOU WANT ANSWERED, AND ANYTHING ELSE
THAT'S BUGGING YOU. OKAY.
WITH THIS 16-YEAR-OLD SINGER PERFORMED AT THE AUDITIONS,
HOWIE SAID HE WAS ABOUT TO LIFE CHANGE FOREVER.
TONIGHT HE IS PERFORMING AN ORIGINAL SONG.
WILL IT GET HIM TO THE SEMI-FINAL?
OR SIMON'S GOLDEN BUZZER? LET'S SEE.
OSCAR STEMBRIDGE. >> I'M PLAYING AN ORIGINAL.
I REALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY ON THE BIGGEST STAGE IN THE
WORLD. * DREAMING *
>> MY MOM SAID TO ME, YOU COULD KIND OF SING BEFORE YOU COULD
TALK. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED PLAYING MUSIC.
SINCE MY AUDITION, IT'S BEEN CRAZY.
I'M FROM A SMALL TOWN WITH LESS THAN 3,000 PEOPLE, AND I'VE BEEN
ON NATIONAL TV. IVAN BEEN ON SO MANY RADIO
STATIONS. ONE PAPER WROTE "OSCAR
STEMBRIDGE IS LOOKING FOR LOVE." THEY'RE NOT WRONG, BUT I DON'T
KNOW HOW THEY GOT THAT INFORMATION.
IT'S THE DAY BEFORE, AND I'M VERY CONFLICTED BECAUSE I DON'T
KNOW WHAT SONG TO PLAY. HONESTLY, MAN, I DON'T KNOW.
THE COMPETITION, THE LEVEL IS SO HIGH, AND I'VE GOT TO REALLY
BRING MY A GAME. DO I GO FOR THE MORE PERSONAL
SLOW SONG OR THE MORE UPTEMPO SONG?
I'VE GOT NO CLUE. I'VE GOT NO CLUE WHAT TO DO.
THEY'RE BOTH ORIGINAL SONGS. I CAN PICK THE RIGHT ONE AND
STAY OR I COULD GO HOME. AND I ONLY HAVE 24 HOURS TO MAKE
THAT DECISION. >> I WANT HIM TO FEEL GOOD.
YOU KNOW YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
>> WINNING "AGT" WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE BECAUSE IT WOULD ALLOW ME
TO BE ABLE TO PUT MY MUSIC OUT THERE AND BECOME THE ARTIST I
WANT TO BE, AND THAT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.
* ANGELS CRYING * * WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DREAMER,
BELIEVERS, ALWAYS TRYING IT ALL, BUT SING ME A SONG *
* I'LL SING IT WITH YOU * * BEAUTY THE FADING, THE BUMS
LAZING * * WE KEEP ON SMILING THROUGH
DAYS THEY ALL BURN, SING ME A SONG *
* I'LL SING IT WITH YOU * * I'LL SING IT WITH YOU, SING IT
WITH YOU * * BECAUSE I'M JUST A BOY WHO
WANTS TO WORRY ABOUT HIS NEXT HEARTACHE *
* I'M JUST A KID, I WANT TO BE OKAY, A BROKE PLACE *
IT'S GETTING HARD TRYING TO FIGURE TOMORROW AS FOR TOMORROW
I TODAY SINGING THIS SONG, SING IT WITH YOU *
* AS LONG AS I'M HERE, I'LL SING IT WITH YOU, I'LL SING IT WITH
YOU * *
* TRYING, THE WHOLE DAMN FIGHTING *
* I KNOW THERE IS A COLD, DARKEST NIGHT, SING ME A SONG,
I'LL SING IT WITH YOU *.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! [ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: OSCAR STEMBRIDGE! SOFIA?
>> Sofia: OSCAR, I THINK YOU'RE ALREADY A SUPERSTAR.
YOU COMPLETELY, COMPLETELY NEED TO BE ALWAYS ON A STAGE.
YOU'RE AMAZING. YOU'RE SO HANDSOME.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH SHOEPZ I DI.
>> Sofia: I DIDN'T LOVE THE SONG THAT MUCH, BUT YOU'RE A GREAT
SINGER AND YOU ALREADY HAVE IT ALL.
>> Howie: HERE'S WHAT I THING, OSCAR.
I THINK YOU ARE A STAR. AND YOU HAVE THE LOOKS AND THE
CHOPS AND THE TALENT TO DO IT. IF I WANT TO BE TOTALLY HONEST,
I THINK YOU PICKED THE WRONG SONG.
I DO. YOU SAID IT WAS BETWEEN TWO.
THIS IS A TOUGH COMPETITION. ONLY THREE ARE GOING THROUGH.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE MEMORABLE.
[ BOOING ] >> Terry: HEIDI, WHAT DO YOU
THINK? >> Heidi: I THINK YOU DEFINITELY
SING WITH YOUR HEART. THERE IS A KIND OF GENTLENESS, A
QUIETNESS TO YOUR VOICE. I DO WISH SOMETIMES THAT THIS
VOICE WOULD UNLEASH A LITTLE BIT MORE, YOU KNOW.
IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT HERE AND SOMETIMES I WISH YOU WOULD
GO FOR IT A LITTLE BIT MORE SO YOU COULD SHOW US A LITTLE BIT
MORE RANGE. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: OSCAR, YOU'RE 16 YEARS OLD, RIGHT?
>> YEAH. >> Simon: IN MY OPINION, YOU'RE
LIKE A LITTLE DIAMOND, RIGHT. [ CHEERING ]
AND WHETHER YOU CHOSE THE RIGHT OR WRONG SONG TODAY DOESN'T
MATTER BECAUSE I THINK YOU HAVE A REAL OPPORTUNITY IN THIS
BUSINESS TO DO REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WELL.
[ CHEERING ] I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU.
I REALLY MEAN THAT. I REALLY WOULD, BECAUSE YOU JUST
DON'T FIND MANY PEOPLE LIKE OSCAR.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING REALLY COOL ABOUT YOU.
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. AND I'VE JUST GOT A REALLY GREAT
FEELING ABOUT YOU. [ CHEERING ]
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
OSCAR. SO, DO YOU LOVE OSCAR?
DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM IN THE SEMI-FINAL?
THEN YOUR JOB IS SIMPLE -- VOTE. VOTING WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL
7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW. COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK, THIS
MAGICIAN HAS JUST A COUPLE OF *
>> Terry: WE'VE SEEN SOME INCREDIBLE MAGICIANS HERE ON
"AGT," BUT THIS ACT MIXES IN A LOVE COMEDY TOO.
FROM LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA, HERE'S JONATHAN BURNS.
>> MY FIRST LOVE. I WAS 12 YEARS OLD, I DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO. I BORROWED A BUNCH OF GARBS FROM
MY GRANDMOTHER WITH SLEEVES BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT A
MAGICIAN DID. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THIS SPACE,
YOU GET INTO COMEDY, PUT THEM TOGETHER, MAGI-COMEDY.
A TRICK THAT USES CHEESE. ANOTHER CHEESE TRICK.
MAGIC FOR ME IS THAT MOMENT. >> AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE.
>> YOU TURN INTO THE 5-YEAR-OLD KID.
>> A-PLUS. >> I LOVE THAT.
>> Howie: THAT WAS AMAZING! >> I ACTUALLY DIDN'T TELL MY
KIDS THAT WAS COMING. IT WAS A SURPRISE FOR THEM.
THEY GOT TO SEE IT AND THEY LOVED IT.
THEY WERE REALLY SUPPORTIVE. >> HI!
>> THE REASON I CAME TO "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" IS THE
DREAM FOR ME IS ALWAYS TO DO THIS FOR A LIVING.
I HAD TO SPEND A LOT OF MY TIME ON THE ROAD, WHICH CAN BE HARD
ON THE FAMILY. SO IF I HAD A RESIDENCY, WE
COULD ALL BE TOGETHER THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
WINNING "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE.
BUT THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, SIMON, HE SAID NO.
SINCE MY AUDITION, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PERFECT
ACT TO COME BACK WITH, SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
>> HERE WE GO, FOLKS. >> I'M GOING TO BRING SOMETHING
TONIGHT THAT I THINK HE CAN'T SAY NO.
[ CHEERING ] >> OUT OF ALL OF HOUDINI'S ACTS,
THIS IS MY FAVORITE, HANDS-DOWN. THE STRAITJACKET, INVENTED IN
THE LATE 18th CENTURY TO CURE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION.
IT WORKED SO WELL, PEOPLE NO LONGER SUFFER FROM THESE
AFFLICTIONS. TONIGHT, I'LL BE ATTEMPTING TO
FREE MYSELF FROM THESE RESTRAINTS, BEING PLACED IN THE
MOST PAINFUL TORTURE DEVICE KNOWN TO MAN, THE SLEEPER SOFA.
* OH, YEAH, TERRY CREWS, YEAH! [ CHEERING ]
YEAH. CLAP FOR HIM, BECAUSE I CAN'T.
TERRY, THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS.
IN A MOMENT, YOU'RE GOING TO PLACE ME INSIDE THE SLEEPER SOFA
FOLDED UP AND RESET THE CUSHIONS.
I WILL HAVE 47 SECONDS TO FREE MYSELF BEFORE I RUN OUT OF AIR.
KIDS, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME WITH YOUR STRAITJACKET.
ALL RIGHT, TERRY, ARE YOU READY? NO TIME FOR A STORY.
JUST TUCK ME IN. >> OKAY.
HERE YOU GO. >> WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, TERRY,
TERRY, COULD YOU GRAB MY GLASSES?
PUT THEM ON THE CHAIR OVER THERE?
I DON'T WANT TO BREAK THEM. >> Terry: WHERE DO YOU WANT
THEM? >> RIGHT ON THE CHAIR.
THANK YOU. >> Terry: OKAY.
>> TERRY, ARE YOU READY? >> Terry: I'M READY.
>> AMERICA, ARE YOU READY? [ CHEERING ]
>> START THE TIMER. FOLD ME, FOLD ME.
TERRY, TERRY, CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> Terry: YEAH, I HEAR YOU.
>> GOOD. QUICK.
GRAB THE CUSHION ON YOUR RIGHT AND PUT IT ON THE COUCH.
>> Terry: ON THE RIGHT. >> THERE IS TWO MORE CUSHIONS ON
THE LEFT. GRAB THOSE AND PUT THEM ON.
ARE YOU GOOD? YOU GOOD?
>> Terry: YEP. THERE YOU GO.
>> OKAY. GREAT.
TAKE A SEAT, SIR, AND WATCH THE MAGIC HAPPEN.
>> Terry: OKAY, OKAY. >> OH, WHOA.
THERE IS STUFF IN HERE. HEY, MONEY, MONEY.
I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE IT'S THE QUARTER-FINALS, GET IT?
OKAY, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. WHICH HAND, TERRY, WHICH HAND?
>> Terry: OKAY, ALL RIGHT. >> HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT?
>> NO TIME LEFT, NO TIME LEFT! >> TERRY, TELL MY FAMILY THAT I
LOVE THEM. OPEN THE COUCH.
GET ME OUT OF HERE, OPEN THE COUCH
[ BUZZER ] >> Terry: ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
OPENING THE COUCH. AND OH.

HOWIE? >> Howie: JONATHAN, LISTEN.
I LOVE COMEDY. I THINK YOU'RE FUNNY, AND MAGIC,
THIS IS THE HOME OF MAGIC HERE. THE:00 THAT THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO
COMBINE BOTH I THINK PUTS YOU IN A LANE OF YOUR OWN, AND I THINK
YOU'RE GOING TO DO REALLY WELL, AND I THINK YOU BUZZED TOO
EARLY, SIMON. WITHOUT SEEING THAT.
>> Terry: SIMON, WHY DID YOU BUZZ, MAN?
>> Simon: BECAUSE I DID. HONESTLY, I'M SORRY.
[ BOOING ] >> Terry: YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT?
YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT? >> Simon: I DID MEAN IT.
BECAUSE I KIND OF GUESSED WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> Heidi: REALLY? >> Simon: HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IS GOING WRONG TONIGHT, BUT YOU'VE HAD SO MUCH TIME TO
PREPARE FOR THIS, AND THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE.
>> Heidi: AWW. >> Simon: SORRY, IT WASN'T GOOD
ENOUGH. >> Terry: HEIDI, WHAT DO YOU
THINK? >> Heidi: I HAVE TO SAY I WAS
SURPRISED WHEN YOU POPPED OUT OF THAT CHAIR OVER THERE.
I REALLY DID. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS YOUR TIME.
AND I ALSO LIKE THE HYBRID OF MAGIC AND COMEDY.
AND I THINK YOU'RE CUTE. WELL DONE.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I DO LOVE THAT YOU CAN
DO COMEDY AND MAGIC AT THE SAME TIME.
I DID ENJOY IT. I DIDN'T WENT CRAZY FOR IT, BUT
I LIKED IT. AND IT WAS ENTERTAINING.
>> Terry: JONATHAN, LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, YOU WERE HERE FOR
YOUR DAUGHTERS. ARE YOUR DAUGHTERS WATCHING YOU
TONIGHT? >> I TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO BE
HERE. THE OLDER SAID SHE WOULD
DEFINITELY BE WATCHING TONIGHT. THE YOUNGER ONE SAID MAYBE.
SHE IS 8. SHE HAS A LOT GOING ON.
SHE IS BUSY. HI GIRLS, OR GIRL.

FAMILY, AND IT IS A BIG FAMILY. THEY LIVE TOGETHER AND SING

PHILIPPINES, HERE IS L6. >> HI, EVERYONE, WE ARE L6 FROM
THE PHILIPPINES. >> WE LIVE IN A SMALL HOUSE WITH
THREE BEDROOMS. BUT WE HAVE 18 PERSON IN THE
HOUSE. >> WE EAT, WORK, AND SING
TOGETHER. >> AND THE WORST IS CLEANING
DISHES BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF PLATES.
AND OF COURSE WE'RE ALWAYS LATE BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE ONLY
ONE. WHY?
>> WE'RE HERE FOR THE LIFE. SO IT'S OUR MOTHER'S DREAM FOR
US. AND BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY, HER
DREAM FOR US IS TO PERFORM ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
* >> Simon: THIS IS A GREAT
SINGING GROUP. >> THANK YOU.
>> AFTER "AGT," WE WERE SO HAPPY.
IT FELT LIKE OUR DREAMS WERE COMING TRUE.
AND THEN THE STORM CAME. >> TODAY WE ARE BEING FLOODED BY
CARINA. >> WE HAD TO EVACUATE OUR HOME.
MOST OF OUR GOWNS ARE IMPACTED BY THE TYPHOON.
>> WE CAME TO "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" BECAUSE OF OUR DREAM TO
BE A RECORDING ARTIST, AT THE SAME TIME TO BUY A BIG HOUSE FOR
THE FAMILY. AND NOW THAT DREAM IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN EVER. [ CHEERING ]
* YOU KNOW I WANT YOU IT'S NOT A SECRET

CHANGIN' THE WORLD TO BE OURS TONIGHT *
[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: THERE IS NO DENYING THAT THEY CAN SING, AND THERE IS
NO DENYING THAT THE SOUND IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE HARMONY IS
BEAUTIFUL. THAT BEING SAID, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT LANE THIS IS. IT'S A LITTLE BIT CORNY.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT NOT OF TODAY. IT'S A LITTLE BIT --
[ BOOING ] I WOULDN'T HEAR THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU WOULD STREAM THAT.
I WOULDN'T GO TO A CONCERT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT FITS.
BUT IT'S UP TO AMERICA AND NOT ME.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I THINK IT FITS IN THE
BROADWAY KIND OF GENRE. THAT'S WHAT IT KIND OF REMINDS
ME OF. I KNOW THERE IS ONLY SIX OF YOU,
BUT YOU SOUND LIKE THERE IS 30 OR 40 OF YOU.
I DO WISH YOU WOULD HAVE SANG A CAPPELLA, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE
LOVED SO MUCH LAST TIME WHEN WE DIDN'T HEAR ANY MUSIC AT ALL BUT
JUST YOUR VOICES. I KIND OF WISH WE JUST HEARD
YOUR VOICES BECAUSE WE KNOW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS SO
ABSOLUTELY TALENTED. [ CHEERING ]
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I MEAN, I THINK YOUR
VOICES ARE SPECTACULAR. TODAY YOU LOOK AMAZING, MORE
LIKE SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU COULD
SING AS A GROUP, BUT IT IS AMAZING.
AND EVERY TIME I'VE SEEN YOU IT GIVES ME A SMILE.
I REALLY ENJOY THIS. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT OUR
AUDIENCE ARE REALLY GOING TO LIKE YOU.
[ CHEERING ] AND YES, IT WAS A BIT CORNY.
HOWEVER, YOU'RE VERY, VERY GOOD SINGERS.
THAT FILM WAS SO SAD. AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAD TO
DEAL WITH ALL OF THAT AND THEN FLY ALL THE WAY BACK AND REALLY
SING YOUR HEARTS OUT, YOU FELT THE REACTION FROM THE AUDIENCE.
SO I LOVED YOUR FIRST AUDITION. I REALLY LIKE YOU, AND I HAVE A
FEELING THAT AFTER TONIGHT, YOU'VE GOT A REAL SHOT AT MAKING
IT THROUGH. I DO.
[ CHEERING ] >> Terry: L6, HOW DOES IT FEEL
PERFORMING ON LIVE TV WITH YOUR FAMILY?
>> BEING WITH MY SIBLINGS, WE FELT SO MUCH LOVE AND HOPE
REACHING OUR DREAMS. THANK YOU SO MUCH "AMERICA'S GOT
TALENT" FOR GIVING A STAGE FOR PEOPLE LIKE US FOR ORDINARY
PEOPLE. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

THE SEMIFINALS, AND HE HAS ONE PAIR OF UNDERPANTS TO DO IT
>> Terry: OKAY.
THIS IS ACT IS -- WELL, HE'S -- I MEAN, HE'S KIND OF
INDESCRIBABLE. HIS ENTIRE PERFORMANCE REVOLVES
AROUND HIS UNDERPANTS, IN A GOOD WAY.
FROM TOKYO, JAPAN, HERE'S TONIKAKU.
GROWING UP WITHOUT PANTS WAS REALLY HARD.
ONE DAY I WAS BENDING OVER TO PICK SOMETHING UP AND THEN A
LADY SCREAMED THINKING I WAS NAKED.
[ SCREAMING ] I TURNED AND SHOUTED, NO, NO,
DON'T WORRY, I'M WEARING. AT THAT MOMENT, I HEARD THE
VOICE FROM ABOVE AND THIS ACT WAS CREATED.
MY DREAM TO PERFORM ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND THAT IS WHY WINNING
"AGT" IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME. I'M SUPER NERVOUS.
MY HEART IS DOKI DOKI. NO ONE ELSE DOES WHAT I DO.
SO I'M GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND SHOW AMERICA ALL I'VE GOT.

[ CHEERING ] TONI, TONIKAKU.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> PANTS, PANTS, PANTS, PANTS,
PANTS! >> Terry: HEIDI, WHAT DO YOU
THINK? >> Heidi: YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A LIMIT TO THE MADNESS, BUT THEN I WAS
THINKING WAS IT MAD ENOUGH? TO ME, IT WAS NOT MAD ENOUGH.
I WAS NOT FEELING IT REALLY TODAY.
[ BOOING ] >> Terry: SOFIA?
>> Sofia: YOU'RE LIKE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO STOP, ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO PULL IT
THROUGH? AND YOU'RE WORRYING ALL THE
TIME. IT'S AMAZING.
I LOVE IT. IT'S SUPER FUN.
[ CHEERING ] >> THANK YOU!
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Heidi: MAYBE IT'S THE GOLDEN
BUZZER. >> Simon: TONI, YOU'RE ONE OF MY
FAVORITE EVER ACTS. I'VE SEEN YOU HERE, I'VE SEEN
YOU IN THE UK. NOBODY DOES WHAT YOU DO.
[ CHECH
[ CHEERING ] WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
IT. YOU'RE REALLY SILLY AND FUNNY,
AND THAT'S WHY I REALLY, REALLY LIKE YOU.
I REALLY DO. I REALLY HOPE AMERICA VOTES FOR
YOU. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AREN'T LOOKING AT THIS THE RIGHT
WAY. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE SO
MUCH OUT OF SO LITTLE. >> YES.
>> Howie: AND WHEN YOU HEAR YOUR ORIGIN STORY, THAT YOU CAME FROM
BULLYING, AND THIS WAS A SAD MOMENT, BUT YOU'VE TURNED IT
INTO AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT, I AM SO HAPPY THAT WE'RE ALL HERE
IN OUR PANTS. >> PANTS!
>> Terry: TONIKAKU, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN THIS COMPETITION?
>> DON'T WORRY, I'M WINNING! WOO!
* >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
TONIKAKU. LISTEN, ONLY THREE ACTS WILL
MAKE THE SEMI-FINAL. IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT OTHER
SURPRISES TONIKAKU'S UNDERPANTS HAVE IN STORE, VOTE FOR HIM.
* >>> COMING UP.
>> >> Howie: THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL MOMENTS ON SEASON
19. >> IT WAS SO QUICK.
*
>> Terry: SIMON, HOW DO YOU THINK THINGS ARE GOING SO FAR?
>> Simon: YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
TERRY. I ALWAYS HOPE THAT IN THE
FINALS, PEOPLE RAISE THEIR GAMES FROM THE AUDITIONS.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S HAPPENED TONIGHT.
>> Terry: OH! >> Simon: NO, I REALLY, REALLY
DON'T. [ BOOING ]
>> Simon: I WISH I COULD SAY IT HAS.
SO LOOK, I'M AN OPTIMIST. MAYBE SOMEONE IS JUST GOING TO
NAIL IT. >> Howie: BRENT STREET.
>> Terry: AT THE AUDITION, THIS SINGER'S ORIGINAL POWERFUL SONG
MOVED EVERYBODY. AND SIMON SAID IT WAS THE BEST
NEW SONG HE'S HEARD THIS YEAR, BY A MILE.
FROM CORK IN IRELAND, HERE'S STEPHANIE RAINEY.
* HOLD YOUR HAND * >> I HAVE A 2 1/2-YEAR-OLD NAMED
JACKSON AND MY PARTNER. JACKSON'S REACTION TO THE
AUDITION. >> THAT'S MAGIC, DADA.
>> Simon: YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL.
>> GOOD JOB, MOM! >> I DON'T EVEN KNOW HONESTLY IF
I WOULD HAVE HAD THE CONFIDENCE TO GO ON AND DO THE AUDITION IF
I DIDN'T HAVE THEM. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR
US AS A FAMILY. BACK HOME, I WORK AT A RADIO
STATION. >> I BELIEVE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE
OF WEEKS I'M ACTUALLY JETTING OFF TO DO MY "AMERICA'S GOT
TALENT." ME AND MY BEST FRIEND SARAH CAME
TO SEE LAST WEEK'S QUARTERFINALS.
DEFINITELY DESERVED THE BUZZER. SEEING IT MADE ME REALLY, REALLY
NERVOUS. IT CERTAINLY SETS THE STANDARD
FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TO TRY AND LIVE UP TO.
TONIGHT I'M PLAYING ANOTHER ORIGINAL SONG CALLED "WOMAN."
I WROTE IT WHEN MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
IT WAS A REALLY TOUGH TWO YEARS. WE'RE REALLY LUCKY SHE PULLED
THROUGH. I HOPE PEOPLE CONNECT TO IT AS
MUCH AS THE FIRST AUDITION. I REALLY HOPE I WIN TONIGHT.
WINNING "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" WOULD GIVE ME THE CONFIDENCE.
* YOU'RE A WARRIOR A FIGHTER
A MIRACLE SURVIVOR *
* AND ALL THE STRENGTH YOU'VE SHOWN
THROUGH ALL THAT LIFE HAS THROWN *
* YOU TOLD ME LOVE YOURSELF NEVER GIVE UP
WHEN I WAS DOWN MADE ME GET UP *
* WHEN ALL MY PRIDE WAS GONE YOU MADE MY HEART
FEEL STRONG * * AND ALL THE BEST IN ME
HAS GROWN FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN *
* I HOLD MYSELF LIKE A MOUNTAIN
FROM ALL THE WAYS YOU SHOW ME *
* WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WOMAN
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WOMAN *
* WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WOMAN
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE *
* I LEARNED HOW TO LOVE AND HOW TO TRUST
WHEN TO WALK AND WHEN TO RUN *
* FROM ALL THE STRENGTH YOU'VE SHOWN
THROUGH ALL THE WARS YOU'VE WON *
* YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME LOVE YOURSELF
NEVER GIVE UP * * WHEN I WAS DOWN
MADE ME GET UP * * I HOLD MYSELF
LIKE A MOUNTAIN FROM ALL THE WAYS
YOU SHOW ME * * WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A WOMAN WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A WOMAN * * WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A WOMAN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE * * WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A WOMAN WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A WOMAN * * WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE A WOMAN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE
* YOU'RE A WARRIOR A FIGHTER
A MIRACLE SURVIVOR *
[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: STEPHANIE RAINEY!
SOFIA? >> Sofia: STEPHANIE, YOUR VOICE
IS SO AMAZING. AND I LOVE EVERY TIME YOU
PERFORM HERE, IT'S LIKE WITH YOUR SOUL.
IT FEELS SO PERSONAL, YOUR SONGS.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU TONIGHT BECAUSE I LOVED YOU,
AND IT WAS VERY MOVING. [ APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN
ISSUE. I TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE.
YOU ARE A GREAT SINGER. AS WE SAW IN THE PACKAGE, SIMON
SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST NEW SONGS HE HEARD THIS YEAR.
THAT WAS YOUR AUDITION. I THINK WHEN YOU COME TO THIS
SHOW, YOU'VE GOT TO PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD.
YOU PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD. THIS SONG LIKE OUR OTHER SINGERS
EARLIER, WAS NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE.
>> Sofia: NO! [ BOOING ]
>> Howie: AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO RAMP UP.
I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT WITH THIS SONG, TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU. >> OH MY GOD.
>> Terry: HEIDI. >> Heidi: I THINK YOU WRITE VERY
POWERFUL SONGS. I CAN HEAR THE SHAKE TODAY.
IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THAT YOU REALLY WANT
IT. WHEN YOU'RE NERVOUS, THAT
HAPPENS. BUT IT'S UP TO AMERICA, BUT I
THINK YOU'RE GREAT. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: STEPHANIE, YEAH, I
DON'T THINK THIS SONG WAS AS GOOD AS THE AUDITION SONG, AND
SECONDLY, I DIDN'T LIKE THE PRODUCTION AND ARRANGEMENT ON
IT. THERE WAS SOMETHING REALLY --
[ BOOING ] -- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL THAT FIRST
SONG. AND HOWEVER, I THINK THE SONG IS
GOOD ENOUGH, I THINK, TO GET YOU THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND.
[ CHEERING ] IF YOU DO, I WOULD PICK THE
FIRST SONG AGAIN BECAUSE I THINK THAT SONG IS SO GOOD, AND YOU'RE
SO AUTHENTIC AND LIKABLE AND RELATABLE.
I ACTUALLY THINK YOU DID GREAT TONIGHT.
* >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
STEPHANIE. THE SEMI-FINAL IS NEXT WEEK.
DO YOU WANT STEPHANIE TO MAKE IT?
GET ONLINE OR USE THE "AGT" APP. LET'S KEEP IT GOING.
HERE'S'S AN ACT THAT COMBINES DANCE AND AERIAL FLYING.
IT'S SO DANGEROUS, IN FACT, THEY JUST HAD A MAJOR SETBACK, AND AT
THE LAST MINUTE, THEY'RE HAVING TO COMPLETELY RETHINK THEIR
PERFORMANCE. HERE IS MORE ON SEBASTIAN &
SONIA. *
>> WE MET IN A DANCE CLUB IN BARCELONA.
>> I HAVE A FEAR OF HEIGHTS, BUT WITH THE TIME, HE GAVE ME
CONFIDENCE, AND I'M NOT SCARED ANYMORE.
* >> OUR DREAM IS TO HAVE OUR OWN
SHOW IN AMERICA. >> AND I WANT HIM TO BUY ME A
RING. >> Sofia: PERFECTION.
SO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. SO DANGEROUS.
>> WHILE WE WERE REHEARSING, SHE FELL DOWN.
THANK GOD SHE WAS OKAY, BUT SHE GOT A LITTLE FRACTURE ON HER
ELBOW. SO NOW FOR THIS TIME, SHE CANNOT
CONTINUE. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP.
SO I'M GOING TO PERFORM ALONE TO FIGHT FOR OUR DREAMS AND KEEP
THIS ALIVE. AND HOPEFULLY SHE WILL RECOVER
SOON, AND WE CAN PERFORM AGAIN TOGETHER.
>> WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
>> AY, GET TO WORK! >> OKAY.
>> Terry: SO TONIGHT, SEBASTIAN HAS TO GET THROUGH IT ALONE.
CAN HE KEEP THEIR DREAM ALIVE?
(MUSICA)
>> Terry: CAN SEBASTIAN RISE TO THE CHALLENGE FROM SEBASTIAN &
SONIA? HERE IS SEBASTIAN!
* * WHEN I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, NO
MATTER TURNING UP, SOMEONE HELP ME *
* I'M CRAWLING IN MY SKIN, SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP
IT'S IN MY BLOOD * * IT ISN'T IN MY BLOOD *
* HELP ME IT'S LIKE THE WALLS ARE CAVING IN, SOMETIMES I FEEL
LIKE GIVING UP * * BUT I JUST CAN'T, IT ISN'T IN
MY BLOOD, IT ISN'T IN MY BLOOD * * IT ISN'T IN MY BLOOD, IT ISN'T
IN MY BLOOD, I NEED SOMEBODY NOW *
* IT ISN'T IN MY BLOOD IT ISN'T IN MY BLOOD *
* IT ISN'T IN MY BLOOD, I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME OUT, IT ISN'T
IN MY BLOOD * I NEED SOMEBODY NOW *
* IT ISN'T IN MY BLOOD * [ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: SEBASTIAN & SONIA! SIMON?
ON YOUR FEET. HOW DO YOU FEEL?
>> Simon: UM, I'M ON MY FEET, TERRY, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE
WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP. HOW DO YOU DO THIS ACT WITH TWO
PEOPLE WITH ONE PERSON AND THEN MAKE IT INCREDIBLE?
[ CHEERING ] >> Simon: SERIOUSLY.
HONESTLY. I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE
JUST SAID YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'VE HAD AN ACCIDENT, AND
THEREFORE WE CAN'T CONTINUE, BUT YOU DID THE OPPOSITE.
YOU CONTINUED. [ CHEERING ]
NOT ONLY THAT, I'M NOT JUST SAYING THIS.
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THAT. [ CHEERING ]
THIS WAS BY FAR -- [ CHEERING ]
YOUR BEST REACTION WE'VE HAD SO FAR, WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE
GETTING [ CHEERING ]
* * IT'S A CELEBRATION *
* CELEBRATE TONIGHT COME ON * * LET'S CELEBRATE, WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE A GOOD TIME TONIGHT, CELEBRATION, LET'S CELEBRATE,
IT'S ALL RIGHT * * WE'RE GOING HAVE A GOOD TIME
TONIGHT, CELEBRATION * >> Terry: SEBASTIAN & SONIA, YOU
JUST GOT THE GOLDEN BUZZER FROM SIMON COWELL.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW, GUYS?
>> RIGHT NOW WE'RE FEELING THAT EVERYTHING HAS WORKED.
IT WAS REALLY HARD. I ONLY HAD THREE DAYS TO CREATE
THIS ACT, AND I JUST WANTED TO REPRESENT AS BEST AS I COULD.
>> I'M NO WORDS. >> Terry: SIMON, TALK TO ME.
WHY DID YOU DO IT? >> Simon: THAT IS THE DEFINITION
OF COURAGE. YOU DON'T GIVE UP.
SERIOUSLY. >> THANK YOU.
>> Simon: AND I JUST SAID ARE YOU GOING TO BE OKAY FOR THE
FINAL? AND SHE SAID YES.
SO THAT WAS REALLY THE BEST BY FAR TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: ALL RIGHT.
GIVE IT UP ONE MORE TIME FOR SEBASTIAN & SONIA!
[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ] THEY ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO THE
FINALS. ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE GOING TO A BREAK RIGHT NOW.
LET'S DO IT!
*
>> Terry: JUST BEFORE THE BREAK, SIMON MADE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
HAPPY BY HITTING THE GOLDEN BUZZER AND PUTTING SEBASTIAN AND
SONIA THROUGH TO THE FINALS, EVEN THOUGH SONIA WAS INJURED
AND COULDN'T PERFORM TONIGHT. TOMORROW, WE'LL REVEAL THE LAST
THREE ACTS TO MAKE THE SEMIFINALS.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG NIGHT. AND WE'LL HAVE A SENSATIONAL
PERFORMANCE FROM "AGT" LEGEND MAGICIAN JON DORENBOS.
THAT'S THE LAST QUARTER-FINALS RESULTS SHOW AT 8:00 TOMORROW
NIGHT. NOW, HERE'S A CONTESTANT WHO IS
SOFIA VERGARA'S FAVORITE COMEDIAN EVER ON "AGT."
AND CHECK THIS OUT, SHE HAD SIMON COWELL LAUGHING TOO.
SHE'S FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
SHE'S ERICA RHODES. I WOULD SAY SOMETHING I THOUGHT
WAS SERIOUS AND PEOPLE WOULD LAUGH.
ONE TIME I GAVE A SPEECH AT MY SISTER'S WEDDING, AND I THOUGHT
IT WAS A VERY HEARTFELT, SINCERE SPEECH, BUT PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING
TO TEARS. AND EVERYBODY AFTERWARDS SAID
YOU SHOULD DO COMEDY. I AM STILL LOOKING FOR LOVE.
I LIKE SMART MEN. SO I'LL PROBABLY DIE ALONE.
THE ROAD IS PRETTY MUCH MY DATING LIFE RIGHT NOW.
I'M ON THE ROAD IN BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT.
THERE IS A LAMP. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?
MY SISTER AND EVERYONE I KNOW HAS A FAMILY AND KIDS, BUT I
HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN TRYING TO DATE, BUT I'M OKAY WITH IT,
BECAUSE EVERY TIME I GET ON STAGE, I FEEL LIKE IT'S
INVESTING IN MYSELF. BEING ON "AGT" IS A CHANCE TO
REALLY MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'VE WANTED
FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. I MEAN, SOMETIMES YOU KIND OF
FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SLAVING AWAY IN THE DARK, YOU KNOW.
NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE. I'M TRYING TO CUT TEN YEARS OF
MATERIAL DOWN TO TWO MINUTES, AND THAT'S HARD.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST PERFORMANCE OF MY LIFE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO
TELL MYSELF THAT, BECAUSE I'LL GET TOO NERVOUS.
SO I'M JUST GOING TO PRETEND IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER PERFORMANCE.
JUST IN FRONT OF THE BIGGEST CROWD EVER.
* DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND IF YOU WANNA GET
THAT SPECIAL LOVIN' * * TELL ME I'M BEAUTIFUL
EACH AND EVERY NIGHT THAT'S RIGHT *
[ CHEERING ] >> WOW!
>> HI. HI.
HELLO. THIS IS MY VOICE.
IT IS REAL. IT'S MY REAL VOICE.
PEOPLE OFTEN ASK ME IS THAT YOUR REAL VOICE?
NO, I GOT A VOICE LIFT. A VERY EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE, BUT
WORTH IT TO ANNOY PEOPLE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
THANK YOU FOR NOTICING." I HAD AN ACTING TEACHER ONCE
SAY, "IF YOU DON'T FIX YOUR VOICE, YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A
CAREER." AND SO, FAR HE'S RIGHT.
BUT I AM GETTING OLDER. I'M IN MY LATE 30s EARLY 40s MID
20s -- I JUST FOUND OUT I'M OFFICIALLY
LADY YEARS OLD. I I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.
I WAS GETTING A SMOOTHIE, AND THE KID BEHIND THE COUNTER.
I CALL HIM A KID, BUT I THINK HE WAS 29.
HE SAID THIS IS FOR THE LADY IN THAT SWEATER VEST OVER THERE.
THIS IS FOR THAT NICE LADY. I SAID EXCUSE ME, YOUNG MAN,
IT'S A SWEATER TANK TOP, OKAY? GET YOUR GARMENTS STRAIGHT.
AND SECOND OF ALL NO, WOMAN UNDER 79 YEARS OLD EVER WANTS TO
BE CALLED A LADY. RIGHT?
WE DON'T APPRECIATE IT. IT'S QUITE OFFENSIVE.
HONESTLY, I'D RATHER PRETTY MUCH BE CALLED ANYTHING ELSE.
LIKE I WISH HE SAID THIS IS FOR THE BITCH IN THE SWEATER VEST
OVER THERE. THEN I'D SAY "THANK YOU YOUNG
MAN. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THE
RESPECT I'VE EARNED OVER THE YEARS."
IT'S ABOUT TIME. I'M AT AN AGE WHERE I DON'T WANT
TO GO ON DATES ANYMORE. I TRIED GOING ON ONE THE OTHER
NIGHT, AND MY FRIEND SAID JUST HAVE FUN AND BE YOURSELF.
I SAID FOR ME, IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER.
I CAN'T DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
BUT SHE HAS TROUBLE DATING TOO, AND SHE IS ALWAYS COMPLAINING
ABOUT GETTING FRIEND ZONED BY GUYS.
AND I TOLD HER IT'S CAUSE THE WOMEN TEND TO FRIEND ZONE IN A
DIFFERENT WAY, BECAUSE WE FRIEND ZONE BY ASKING FOR FAVORS.
WE'LL BE LIKE WILL YOU HELP ME MOVE?
WILL YOU PUT TOGETHER MY IKEA FURNITURE?
WILL YOU PICK ME UP AT THE AIRPORT?
AND MEN FRIEND ZONE BY SLEEPING WITH YOU.
SO WE'RE ALWAYS CONFUSED, RIGHT? BECAUSE A GUY IS LIKE I PICKED
HER UP AT THE AIRPORT, WHY WON'T SHE SLEEP WITH ME?
AND A WOMAN IS LIKE I SLEPT WITH HIM, WHY WON'T HE PICK ME UP AT
THE AIRPORT? [ APPLAUSE ]
SO NOW I JUST TELL MY GIRLFRIENDS JUST DON'T EVER
SLEEP WITH ANYONE, AND AT LEAST YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE A RIDE TO THE
AIRPORT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THAT'S IT FOR ME. [ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ]
AWW, THANK YOU. ERICA RHODES!
HOWIE? >> Howie: I LOVED IT.
AS I SAID LAST WEEK, I WANT COMEDY TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY ON
THIS STAGE. AND I THINK YOU JUST DELIVERED.
>>. >> Howie: A SET THAT CAN TAKE
YOU ALL THE WAY. YOU WERE SO REAL, SO
COMFORTABLE, SO FUNNY, SO MEMORABLE.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE QUOTING YOU TOMORROW.
THESE LINES ARE REALLY FUNNY, MEMORABLE.
YOUR VOICE IS ADORABLE. YOU'RE ADORABLE.
I LOVE YOU. >> Howie: OH, THANKS, HOWIE.
I LOVE YOU TOO. >> Heidi: I THINK YOU ARE A
GREAT STORYTELLER AND YOU ARE VERY LIKABLE.
I TOTALLY CAN SEE YOU IN LAS VEGAS TOO.
I HAVE A VERY SIMILAR VOICE, AND I'M NOT DOING TOO BAD WITH IT.
SO THERE YOU GO. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SOPHIA? >> Sofia: FUNNY, RELATABLE, I
THINK YOUR MATERIAL IS AMAZING. YOU SHOULD BE ON A SITCOM.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: UM, DIDN'T LOVE IT. I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I DIDN'T. [ BOOING ]
>> Simon: I'LL TELL YOU WHY. YOU CAN'T FORCE YOURSELF TO
LAUGH IF YOU'RE NOT LAUGHING. AND I DIDN'T LAUGH.
>> Terry: OKAY. >> Simon: BUT I DID LAUGH THE
FIRST TIME. I THINK YOU NEED TO BE IN
SOMETHING LIKE "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE," AMONGST A LOT OF OTHER
PEOPLE. SO MAYBE --
>> AW. >> Simon: I DON'T KNOW.
>> BECAUSE IT WAS SO MUCH LADY MATERIAL MAYBE.
[ LAUGHTER ] YOU LAUGH NOW?
>> Simon: THAT WAS FUNNY! THAT WAS FUNNY.
>> Terry: NOW ERICA, WHO GIVES YOU A RIDE TO THE AIRPORT?
>> OH, I HAVE A ROTATING LIST. >> Terry: WHO IS ON TOP?
>> WELL, SIMON'S NOT. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
ERICA. WANNA HEAR MORE OF ERICA'S TAKE
ON LIFE IN THE SEMIFINALS, THEN VOTE FOR HER.
GO TO NBC.COM AND USE THE "AGT" APP.
>> Simon: YOU'RE THE BEST QUICK
CHANGE ARTIST WE'VE EVER SEEN.
*
>> Terry: ALL OF TONIGHT'S ACTS WANT TO BE THIS YEAR'S "AGT"
CHAMPION AND WIN A MILLION DOLLARS.
AND NEXT YEAR, THAT COULD BE YOU.
YOU CAN AUDITION RIGHT NOW ONLINE, OR OUR NEXT VIRTUAL OPEN
CALL IS OCTOBER 19th. SO SIGN UP FOR THAT, OR SUBMIT A
VIDEO ANY TIME AT AGTAUDITIONS.COM.
GO ON, CHANGE YOUR LIFE. OKAY.
THIS ACT'S AUDITION HAS HAD -- CHECK THIS OUT -- NEARLY
400 MILLION VIEWS. SHE IS THE BIGGEST VIRAL HIT OF
THIS SEASON, BY FAR. AND TONIGHT, SHE'S AIMING TO
TAKE HER ACT UP A LEVEL. FROM PORTUGAL, SHE IS SOLANGE
KARDINALY. [ CHEERING ]
>> YOU'RE THE BEST QUICK-CHANGE ARTIST WE'VE EVER SEEN.
>> Simon: AGREED. >> I NEVER IMAGINED MY ACT HAS
SO MANY VIEWS AND SUCH GOOD REACTIONS.
>> UNBELIEVABLE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE
DOES IN THE NEXT ROUND. >> THE NEXT DAY, MY SON JASON
WENT TO SCHOOL, AND THE TEACHER PUTS THE VIDEO FOR EVERYBODY
WATCH IT. WHEN HE COMES BACK HOME, HE SAID
"MAMA, MY FRIENDS DON'T STOP TO SPEAK ABOUT YOU."
I'M REALLY PROUD, AND IT'S SO CUTE FOR HIM TO SAY HIS MAMA,
ONE GIRL FROM PORTUGAL, A SMALL VILLAGE BECOMES THE MOST VIEWED
ACT. IT'S REALLY, REALLY AMAZING.
HE MOTIVES ME TO BE A GOOD MAGICIAN, A GOOD ARTIST, A GOOD
MOM. I WANT TO BE AN EXAMPLE FOR HIM.
IF I WIN $1 MILLION, I WANT TO GIVE BEST LIFE FOR MY SON JASON,
AND I HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING MY OWN SHOW IN VEGAS.
SO TONIGHT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME.
I CREATE A NEW ACT THAT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM MY
AUDITION ACT BECAUSE I WANT TO SURPRISE THE AUDIENCE AND THE
JUDGES, AND I HOPE THEY FEEL MY MAGIC AGAIN.

HEIDI, YOU KNOW FASHION. >> Heidi: I WAS REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN TONIGHT, AND YOU REALLY DID NOT
DISAPPOINT. I DO THINK YOU'RE ONE OF THE
BEST QUICK-CHANGE ARTISTS WE'VE EVER HAD.
I LOVE HOW YOU USED THE DIFFERENT PROPS.
YOU CHANGED SO MANY TIMES AND SO BEAUTIFUL.
AMERICA HAS ONLY THREE VOTES, AND I HOPE ONE OF THOSE THREE
VOTES WILL GO TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT.
[ CHEERING ] >> Terry: SOPHIA?
>> Sofia: THAT WAS PERFECTION. I LOVE THE MAGIC, THE CARDS, THE
CHANGING. EVERYTHING WAS SO SPOT-ON.
YOU LOOKED SO GOOD DOING IT. FASCINATING.
[ CHEERING ] >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE. IF YOU COME ON AND SUDDENLY
WITHIN A FEW WEEKS NEARLY HALF A BILLION PEOPLE HAVE SEEN YOUR
AUDITION, THAT TELLS ME THAT YOU HAVE -- YOU HAVE SOMETHING
SPECIAL. AND I THINK THIS IS A VEGAS ACT.
I GENUINELY DO. [ CHEERING ]
AND TO DO IT LIVE, I THINK ALONG WITH MY GOLDEN BUZZER, THIS IS
BY FAR THE BEST ACT WE'VE SEEN. >> YES!
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: IF AMERICA DOES NOT
VOTE YOU THROUGH, AMERICA IS NUTS, NUMBER ONE.
AND HERE IS MY PREDICTION. I THINK YOU'RE GOING GET VOTED
THROUGH. AND I -- I BELIEVE THAT REALLY
SOON ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP, EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE GOING
TO THE SOLANGE KARDINALY ROOM. TO SEE YOU.
>> YES! >> Howie: AND YOUR SON IS GOING
TO BE SO PROUD. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE MAGICAL. YOU'RE AMAZING.
THE BEST QUICK-CHANGE ARTIST. YOU'RE UNIQUE.
WOW. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: FOLKS, SOLANGE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THE
AUDIENCE? >> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO
MUCH TO BE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL STAGE.
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO SPECIAL. [ CHEERING ]
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK, SOLANGE. THIS FOR THE SEMIFINALS.
REMEMBER, ONLY THREE ACTS CAN GO THROUGH.
TO VOTE FOR SOLANGE, GET ONLINE OR USE THE "AGT" APP.
OKAY, HERE'S OUR LAST ACT OF THE NIGHT.
IT'S ONE OF HEIDI'S GOLDEN BUZZERS FROM THE AUDITIONS, A
YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS VERY NERVOUS WHEN SHE WALKED OUT ON STAGE --
THEN SHE UNLEASHED AN UNBELIEVABLE VOICE.
FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA, HERE'S 10-YEAR-OLD PRANYSQA MISHRA.
>> THE FIRST TIME THAT I SANG, IT JUST FELT LIKE THAT'S WHAT
I'M BORN TO DO. I WOULD MAKE THIS LITTLE SHOW
NEXT TO THE STAIRS THAT MY GRANDMA AND MY LITTLE SISTER ARE
THE JUDGES. MY SISTER WAS ALWAYS A LITTLE
BOSSY. >> WHAT?
>> IT'S FINE. >> OKAY.
>> BUT MY GRANDMOTHER, SHE'S LIKE MY BIGGEST FAN.
[ CHEERING ] *
>> SHE DID REALLY, REALLY WELL, GRANDMA.
>> SHE SAID WHEN YOU GO HOME, GO READ THE NOTE THAT I HID LAST
YEAR RIGHT THERE. IT WAS WRITTEN "YOU'RE GOING TO
BE REALLY SUCCESSFUL IN "AGT"." OH, MY GOSH.
LIKE DREAMS CAN HAPPEN. >> DO YOU WANT TO TRY THIS ON?
>> YEAH. >> FOR THE ACT, I WANT
EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT. SO I ASKED SOMEONE FOR HELP.
>> CUTE. >> I FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS.
>> Heidi: HOW ABOUT THIS? WOW!
>> I LOVE IT. >> Heidi: CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON.
>> IT'S ONLY THREE SPOTS ON 11 ACTS, SO I PICKED A REALLY HARD
SONG. >> HOW MANY BEATS ARE YOU
HOLDING THAT LONG NOTE? >> TEN.
>> TONIGHT I HOPE I CAN MAKE MY GRANDMA AND HEIDI PROUD.
>> Terry: AFTER THE BREAK,
*
>> Terry: HERE'S OUR LAST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT.
PEOPLE, MAKE SOME NOISE FOR PRANYSQA MISHRA.
[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ] * I PUT YOU HIGH UP
IN THE SKY AND NOW
YOU'RE NOT COMING DOWN * * IT SLOWLY TURNED
YOU LET ME BURN AND NOW
WE'RE ASHES ON THE GROUND * * DON'T YOU EVER SAY
I JUST WALKED AWAY I WILL ALWAYS WANT YOU *

>> Heidi: I MEAN, SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST, EVERYBODY!
[ CHEERING ] I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
YOU'RE ONLY 10 YEARS OLD, AND YOU CAN HOLD YOUR OWN.
THIS IS SUCH A HUGE, BIG SONG, AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER
DRUMMER BACK THERE OR BASS AND ALL THESE INSTRUMENTS.
IT WAS JUST YOU AND THE PIANO. YOU COULD NOT HIDE BEHIND
ANYTHING, AND YOU DID IT SO AMAZINGLY!
CONGRATULATIONS! >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US WHEN WE HEAR SOMEONE
SING, PARTICULARLY IN HERE, BECAUSE IT'S VERY LOUD, AND YOU
NEVER QUITE KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO SOUND LIKE ON THE TV.
IN HERE, YOU SOUNDED AMAZING. [ CHEERING ]
SERIOUSLY. IT REALLY SURPRISED ME,
ACTUALLY. BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HEARD,
YOU'RE POTENTIALLY REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
>> Terry: SOPHIA? >> Sofia:
>> BREATHTAKING! THE SONG, THE WAY YOU MADE IT
YOURS, THE WAY YOU LOOK, YOU'RE CONFIDENT.
YOU DESERVE FOR EVERYBODY TO VOTE TONIGHT FOR YOU.
[ CHEERING ] >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HAVEN'T SAID ENOUGH, ASIDE I
AGREE WITH EVERYTHING EVERYBODY ELSE, YOU'RE 10 YEARS OLD.
>> Heidi: YES! >> Howie: YOU'RE A BABY, BUT YOU
HAVE THIS TALENT OF SOMEBODY WHO IS DECADES OLDER THAN YOU.
>> Simon: I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. >> Howie: I HAVE KNOWN PEOPLE
PROFESSIONAL FOR DECADES. ONLY 10 YEARS OLD.
I FEEL THE SAME THING, I FELT LIKE CRYING.
YOU COULD WIN THIS WHOLE THING, YOUNG LADY!
>> Terry: PRANYSQA, YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL.
HOW DID THAT FEEL? >> I'M SO BLESSED TO SING IN
THIS WORLD'S BIGGEST STAGE IN FRONT OF THE BEAUTIFUL AUDIENCE
AND JUDGES. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
PRANYSQA. OKAY, THE ACTS HAVE DONE
EVERYTHING THEY CAN, NOW IT'S UP TO YOU.
