>> Terry: THE DREAM IS WITHIN REACH FOR THE SEMI-FINALISTS.
MAKE IT THROUGH TONIGHT, THEY'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK IN THE FINALS.
BUT FIRST, THEY DO HAVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH TONIGHT, AND THAT IS
A BIG ASK. 12 OF THE BEST ACTS OF THE
SEASON ARE COMING UP. TOGETHER THEY'VE RACKED UP
OVER 1 BILLION VIEWS ONLINE. BUT NOW IT'S ALL ABOUT TONIGHT.
YOUR VOTES WILL PUT SIX ACTS THROUGH TO THAT FINAL.
NO PRESSURE, BUT DON'T MESS IT UP.
NOW, ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO MORE LIVE GOLDEN BUZZERS, THE JUDGES
DO HAVE SIX GOLDEN BUZZERS FROM THE AUDITIONS IN TONIGHT'S
SEMI-FINAL. HEY, JUDGES.
OKAY. TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
IT'S 6 ACTS FROM 12. IT'S ALL ON YOU.
YOU WANNA DO IT? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
FIRST, A 10-YEAR-OLD SINGER WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST VOICES OF THE
SEASON. SHE'S ONE OF HEIDI'S GOLDEN
BUZZERS FROM THE AUDITIONS. CAN SHE GO ALL THE WAY TO THE
FINALS? FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA, HERE'S
PRANYSQA MISHRA. >> EVER SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ON "AGT." THE PERFORMANCE JUST FELT LIKE
MY OWN FAIRYTALE. >> Heidi: I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
YOU'RE ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND YOU CAN HOLD YOUR OWN.
>> SHE SAID, MOMMY PINCH ME. THIS IS A DREAM MOMENT.
>> WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HELP HER.
WE'RE NOT FROM A MUSIC BACKGROUND.
"AGT" CAN MAKE IT REAL. I'M PROUD TO SEE HER ON THE
BIGGEST STAGE IN THE WORLD. >> I'M STILL FREAKING OUT.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE IN THE SEMI-FINALS.
I FEEL A LITTLE NERVOUS. IT'S REALLY SCARY THAT SIX OF US
ARE GOING HOME. THIS TIME I BROUGHT MY GRANDMA.
SHE ALWAYS SUPPORTED ME AND LAST YEAR MY GRANDMA HID A NOTE THAT
I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ON "AGT." NOW IT'S MY GOOD LUCK CHARM.
>> I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. >> I DON'T WANT TO STOP THIS
FAIRYTALE DREAM BECAUSE I'M DOING WHAT I LOVE EVERY DAY AND
I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME. >> JUST GIVE YOUR BEST.
>> HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GET TO THE FINALS.
>> FINALS, YEP. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* MAMA SAID FULFILL THE PROPHECY *
* BE SOMETHING GREATER GO MAKE A LEGACY *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: PRANYSQA MISHRA! HEIDI, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER.
>> Heidi: I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU, PRANYSQA.
I HAVE TO SAY, YOU GAVE US SUCH A MOMENT.
I MEAN, WHAT AN HONOR IT IS FOR YOU TO OPEN THE SHOW TONIGHT,
THE SEMI-FINALS. YOU DID IT SO PERFECTLY.
I KNOW BACKSTAGE YOU TOLD ME BEFORE YOU WANT TO MAKE ME
PROUD, YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY PROUD.
YOU MADE ME SO PROUD. YOUR GRANDMOTHER IS HERE.
YOUR FAMILY'S HERE. WELL DONE.
I HOPE AMERICA VOTES FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU REALLY, REALLY
DESERVE IT. WELL DONE.
>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: IT'S THE VOICE OF AN
ANGEL. YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ANGEL
WITH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND SUCH POWER.
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START THE SHOW.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: IT'S AMAZING HOW
CONFIDENT YOU ARE AT 10 YEARS OLD.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, YOUR PRESENCE ON THE STAGE.
IT'S AMAZING. I LOVE IT EVERY TIME YOU'RE HERE
ON THE STAGE. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: GUTSY, GUTSY, GUTSY.
I MEAN, COME ON. 10 YEARS OLD AND YOU COME ON THE
SEMI-FINAL ON A SHOW LIKE THIS AND SING A SONG LIKE THAT WHEN
NORMALLY THE END OF THE SONG HAS LIKE A MASSIVE CHOIR OR
SOMETHING. YOU CARRIED THE WHOLE SONG
YOURSELF. HOW DO YOU FEEL?
>> I FEEL REALLY EXCITED AND SO HAPPY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: THAT IS AWESOME.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, PRANYSQA. >> Heidi: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT!
>> Terry: THIS IS FOR THE FINALS.
VOTING IS OPEN NOW. VOTE AT NBC.COM OR ON THE
OFFICIAL "AGT" APP. YOU HAVE UNTIL 7:00 A.M. EASTERN
TOMORROW TO PUT YOUR FAVORITES THROUGH TO THE SEASON FINALS.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: COMING UP -- >> Heidi: IT WAS FLAWLESS WHAT
YOU DID UP THERE. THE ATHLETICISM, EVERYTHING,
YOU'RE ALWAYS SMILING. >> Simon: YOU'RE ONE OF THE MOST
MEMORABLE CONTESTANTS. YOU REALLY HAVE A SHOT AT
WINNING THE WHOLE COMPETITION. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: AS WE GO THROUGH THE
NIGHT, THERE'S A WHOLE LIVE CONVERSATION GOING ON ABOUT THE
SHOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA. GET YOURSELVES INVOLVED.
SUBSCRIBE. TELL US, AND THE WORLD, WHAT YOU
THINK. LET THE JUDGES HAVE IT, BUT NOT
ME, OBVIOUSLY. YOU HAVE A VOICE, SO USE IT.
OKAY. NEXT TO TAKE THE STAGE, SHE'S
DENTIST BY DAY AND ON "AGT" SHE'S AN AERIALIST WHO MAKES
THE MOST DIFFICULT SKILLS LOOK EFFORTLESS.
SHE WAS SURPRISED TO MAKE THE SEMIFINAL, BUT SHE'S HERE AND
SHE HAS TO RAISE HER GAME. FROM DALLAS, TEXAS, SHE IS
KELSEY JANE. I FEEL LIMITLESS.
IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE. >> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NEXT?
>> I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH SO I HAVE NO
IDEA. I'M IN DISBELIEF.
YOU DON'T EXPECT THIS KIND OF STUFF TO HAPPEN.
YOU ONLY DREAM IT. I'M JUST A NORMAL PERSON.
I DON'T DO THIS FOR A LIVING. TO BE IN THE SEMI-FINALS IS A
HUGE DEAL. I'M AN EXTREME PERFECTIONIST.
I'M TERRIFIED OF HAVING PEOPLE SEE ME PERFORM LIVE WHICH IS WHY
I DIDN'T TELL MY PARENTS WHEN I WAS AUDITIONING FOR "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT." THEY FOUND OUT THROUGH A FRIEND
WHO WATCHES THE SHOW. >> Simon: IF YOU'RE DENTIST AND
YOU'RE DOING WELL, WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
>> I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN AERIALIST.
NOW I'M FINDING THE CONFIDENCE TO DO IT.
I WANT TO DO IT EVERY DAY. THIS PERFORMANCE IS PERSONAL TO
ME. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A RISK.
I HOPE IT GETS ME TO THE FINALS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
** * SOMETHING ALWAYS
BRINGS ME BACK TO YOU * IT NEVER TAKES TOO LONG *
* NO MATTER WHAT I SAY OR DO *
* I'LL STILL FEEL YOU HERE TILL THE MOMENT I'M GONE *
* SET ME FREE * * LEAVE ME BE *
* I DON'T WANT TO FALL ANOTHER MOMENT INTO YOUR GRAVITY *
* HERE I AM AND I STAND SO TALL *
* JUST THE WAY I'M SUPPOSED TO BE *
* BUT YOU'RE ON TO ME AND ALL OVER ME
ALL OVER ME * * I LIVE HERE
ON MY KNEES * * AS I TRY TO MAKE YOU SEE
THAT YOU'RE EVERYTHING * * I THINK I NEED
HERE ON THE GROUND * * BUT YOU'RE NEITHER
FRIEND NOR FOE * * THOUGH I CAN'T SEEM
TO LET YOU GO * * THE ONE THING
THAT I STILL KNOW IS THAT YOU'RE KEEPING ME DOWN *
* YOU'RE KEEPING ME DOWN OOH * * YOU'RE KEEPING ME DOWN *
* YEAH, YEAH, YEAH * * YOU'RE ON TO ME
ON TO ME AND ALL OVER *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: KELSEY JANE!
HEIDI, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET. >> Heidi: YES.
I HAVE TO SAY IT KIND OF TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
I KIND OF GET LOST IN THE MUSIC, YOUR BODY IS MOVING.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. THERE'S SO MUCH POETRY AND GRACE
IN YOUR MOVEMENT. I COULD WATCH THIS OVER AND OVER
AGAIN. FOR ME THIS DOES NOT GET OLD.
I LOVE THIS. I THINK IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE MY DENTIST.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL,
SO ELEGANT. IT WAS LIKE A MOVIE AND I LOVE
THAT YOU WERE SO CONNECTED TO THE MUSIC.
SOMETIMES YOU -- EVERYTHING IS GOING AT YOUR OWN RHYTHM.
TODAY YOU WERE REALLY FOLLOWING THE MUSIC BEAUTIFULLY.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: WE MUST BE MISSING
PART OF THE STORY HERE. IF -- IF -- HOW CAN YOU BE
DENTIST AND BE THIS GOOD? >> Sofia: AGAIN?
>> Simon: I DON'T GET IT. I'M NOT AN EXPERT, BUT THAT
LOOKED TO ME STUNNING, HARD, BEAUTIFUL.
IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'VE TAUGHT YOURSELF, WHICH I'M
GUESSING IT IS, THIS IS ACTUALLY STAGGERINGLY GOOD.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: HOWIE?
>> Howie: I THINK THE ANSWER TO SIMON'S QUESTION, THIS IS AN
AMAZING DENTAL PLAN. ANYWAY, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE --
IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND IT'S GRACEFUL AND IT'S -- IT'S FUN TO WATCH.
IT IS -- YOU'RE PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE IN THIS COMPETITION
WHO'S DOING WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING ON THE STAGE PART TIME.
IF YOU WIN THE MILLION DOLLARS, ARE YOU GOING TO QUIT DENTISTRY?
>> NO, I'LL STILL CONTINUE DOING THAT.
>> Howie: YOU KNOW YOUR PARENTS ARE WATCHING.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT FOR YOUR PARENTS.
YOU'RE A LIAR. >> Terry: KELSEY, YOU MAKE IT
LOOK SO EASY AND EFFORTLESS. HOW DIFFICULT WAS IT PREPARING
FOR THE SHOW TONIGHT? >> IT TOOK A LOT OF INNER
STRENGTH BELIEVE IT OR NOT. WITH THE HELP OF MY FRIENDS AND
"AGT" FAMILY I'M HERE AND I MADE IT.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, KELSEY.
REMEMBER, HALF OF TONIGHT'S ACTS WILL MAKE THE FINALS, BUT THE
OTHER HALF WILL BE HEADING HOME. AND IT'S ALL UP TOP YOU.
SO VOTE. AFTER THE BREAK, THIS SMALL-TOWN
SINGER HAS JUST A COUPLE MINUTES ON THE BIGGEST STAGE IN THE
WORLD TO MAKE THE FINALS. FIND OUT IF HE'S GOT WHAT IT
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: THIS SMALL-TOWN SINGER HAS MADE IT THIS FAR BY
PERFORMING HIS OWN ORIGINAL SONGS, AND TONIGHT IS NO
DIFFERENT. LAST TIME OUT, HOWIE TOLD HIM,
"YOU'RE GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY."
NOW IS HIS CHANCE TO PROVE IT. FROM ATIKOKAN, CANADA, HERE'S
ALEX SAMPSON. SOME OF IT WAS A LITTLE OFF AT
TIMES. HOWEVER, YOU'VE CREATED A LANE
FOR YOURSELF WHICH IS SO SMART. >> Terry: ALEX SAMPSON.
>> HOW YOU FEELING, MAN? >> I WAS JUST CRYING ON
TELEVISION. OH, MY GOD.
IT'S AMAZING. >> Simon: WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
YOUR NEXT SONG, BRING OUT THE EMOTION NOW.
>> THE SIMON COWELL CAME UP TO ME, THE ONE DIRECTION DUDE.
HE GAVE ME ADVICE. >> Simon: YOU'RE TALKING TO
EVERY FAN DIRECTLY. >> HI, FANS.
I'M FLIPPING OUT. THERE'S SO MUCH I HAVE TO TAKE
IN. THE SEMI-FINALS ARE IN TWO
WEEKS. SINCE "AGT" I GOT TO FLY OUT TO
THE U.S. OPEN AND PERFORM. I DID A HEADLINE SHOW.
I CAN'T STOP NOW. THIS NEXT SONG HAS TO BE THE
BEST ONE YET. I'M HONESTLY KINDS OF TERRIFIED.
TOBY, ANY WISE WORDS? SIMON SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME TO
CHOOSE A SONG THAT HAD MEANING, THAT THE FANS COULD CONNECT TO.
I THINK I'VE DONE JUST THAT. HOPEFULLY MY NERVES DON'T GET
THE BETTER OF ME. I'M NOT READY TO LEAVE YET.
NOT GIVING UP. BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR, OF
THE DAY, OF "AGT" IN GENERAL. HERE WE GO.

>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: ALEX SAMPSON!
SOFIA? >> Sofia: WOW, ALEX.
YOU'RE SO ADORABLE. LOOK AT THE GIRLS GOING CRAZY.
YOU HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR THE COMPETITION.
TODAY YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. THAT SONG WAS BEAUTIFUL.
CONGRATULATIONS. >> Terry: HOWIE, A STANDING
OVATION. >> Howie: I STILL PREDICT HE'S
GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY. HE'S GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST
STAR OF THE SEASON. I FEEL LIKE I'M AT HIS ALBUM
LISTENING PARTY. THAT SONG IS GOING TO BE ON THE
CHARTS TOMORROW. MARK MY WORDS.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I HAVE A FEELING THIS
IS GOING TO WORK OUT FOR YOU YOUNG MAN.
>> I HOPE SO. >> Heidi: YOU LOOK LIKE A MOVIE
STAR. YOU SOUND GREAT.
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LANE. IT'S VERY RETRO.
TWO THUMBS UP. >> Terry: SIMON?
>> Simon: ALEX, I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR YOU BECAUSE -- I DO.
>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE
YOU WOULDN'T COME ON A SHOW LIKE THIS.
I THINK WHAT YOU REALIZED IS HOW TOUGH IT IS OUT THERE FOR SOLO
ARTISTS, FOR ALL SOLO ARTISTS RIGHT NOW.
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HOPE THE AUDIENCE VOTES YOU THROUGH
TO THE FINAL. TO DATE YOU DESERVE IT.
>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: IT WASN'T MY FAVORITE
SONG OF YOURS. HOWEVER, THE MORE I GET TO KNOW
YOU, THE MORE I LIKE YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Terry: ALEX, THIS IS THE THIRD ORIGINAL SONG YOU'VE SANG
ON "AGT." HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SHARE AN
ORIGINAL SONG WITH AMERICA? >> IT'S SUCH A BLESSING, TERRY.
I LOVE MAKING MUSIC. HOPEFULLY THAT DOESN'T END
TOMORROW >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
ALEX. YOU CAN VOTE FOR ALL OF THE ACTS
AT NBC.COM OR ON THE "AGT" APP. REMEMBER, ONLY SIX CAN GO
THROUGH, SO GET BUSY. >>> COMING UP, THE MAGICIAN WHO
STUNNED EVERYBODY IN THE LAST ROUND.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: SIMON, WHAT DO YOU
THINK IT WILL TAKE FOR AN ACT TO GET TO THE FINALS THIS YEAR?
>> Simon: WHATEVER YOU REHEARSED, YOU HAVE TO ADD THAT
EXTRA 10, 20%. I BELIEVE THAT SPECIAL THINGS
CAN HAPPEN FROM REHEARSALS IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE.
>> Terry: I BELIEVE YOU. WELL, THIS MAGICIAN FROM SOUTH
KOREA HAS BEEN PRACTICING AND HONING HIS CRAFT FOR YEARS.
TONIGHT HE HAS TO RAISE HIS GAME AGAIN.
THE PRESSURE'S ON FOR YOUNG MIN. >> Simon: WHAT WE JUST WITNESSED
WAS YOUR MOMENT. >> Terry: YOUNG MIN!
>> Howie: DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED FOR THE NEXT ROUND?
>> Howie: YOU'VE NEVER DONE IT?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: YOUNG MIN! HOWIE, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET.
>> Howie: I GOTTA SAY, YOU'RE PROBABLY -- I SAID THIS LAST
TIME -- ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL MAGICIANS WE'VE EVER HAD ON THE
SHOW. I DON'T KNOW -- AT MOMENTS I WAS
CONFUSED, BUT I'M ALWAYS MESMERIZED.
IT'S AMAZING. I HAD A COFFEE THIS MORNING AND
DIDN'T COME UP WITH ANY IDEAS CLOSE TO THAT.
I THINK YOU RAISED THE BAR. I THINK YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I FEEL LIKE YOUR
PREVIOUS PERFORMANCES WERE A LITTLE STRONGER.
>> Howie: REALLY? >> Heidi: I DO.
I STILL THINK THAT YOU'RE VERY MYSTERIOUS.
I THINK THE MAGIC TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF A BACK SEAT TODAY.
LET'S SEE WHAT AMERICA THINKS. IT'S UP TO THEM.
>> Terry: SIMON, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> Simon: I LIKE YOU A LOT. I REALLY LIKED YOU THE LAST TIME
WE SAW YOU. HOWEVER, TONIGHT I THOUGHT APART
FROM THE END WASN'T VERY GOOD. [AUDIENCE BOOS]
>> Simon: IT WAS LIKE YOU LOOKING FOR A LIGHT BULB IN SOME
SAND. THEN THE LIGHT COMES UP AND THEN
YOU CHANGED CLOTHES. FOR ME THAT ISN'T WHAT I CALL
VEGAS SHOW-STOPPING MOMENT. I'M REALLY SORRY.
>> Terry: SOFIA, HOW DO YOU FEEL?
>> Sofia: I LOVED IT. IT WAS AMAZING.
YOU'RE MYSTERIOUS. MAYBE IT WASN'T PERFECT
SOMETIMES, BUT YOU'RE THE WHOLE PACKAGE.
VERY EXCITING. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
YOUNG MIN. DO YOU WANT TO SEE YOUNG MIN IN
THE FINALS? THEN VOTE, NOW, TONIGHT.
OKAY. FROM A KOREAN MAGICIAN TO

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ALL THE ACTS DREAM OF
WINNING, BUT THIS COUNTRY ROCK TRIO FROM ASHEVILLE, NORTH
CAROLINA, HAVE A SPECIFIC REASON FOR WANTING TO WIN THE $1
MILLION. HERE'S ASHES & ARROWS.
>> IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS SINCE WE STARTED.
>> IT DOES FEEL LIKE WE'RE AT A CROSSROADS.
IAN GOT MARRIED LAST YEAR. JONATHAN HAS A KID ON THE WAY.
>> IT'S REALLY TOUGH. IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.
IT'S A LOT OF ENERGY. TO WIN A SHOW LIKE "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT," IT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER.
>> WE COULD GET OUR AC FIXED IN THE BAND.
IN THE SUMMERTIME WE'RE JUST ROASTING.
>> Terry: ASHES & ARROWS! >> WE WERE VERY SURPRISED.
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU. >> Simon: THAT WAS VERY
UPLIFTING. REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT.
>> WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SONG WE'RE SINGING.
WE PUT A POST UP ABOUT WHAT OUR FANS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR.
K LOVED THEM ALL. KRISTY, HELL OR HIGH WATER.
ON THE RUN. >> THEY'RE DARKER, BLUESY SONGS.
>> WE HAVE SIMON'S COMMENTS TO CONSIDER.
WE HAVE OUR FANS. WE HAVE OUR OWN FEELINGS.
OUR FATE IS IN OUR OWN HANDS. WE HAVE TO DO A SONG THAT SOUNDS
RIGHT TO US. >> LET'S GO.

>> Terry: ASHES & ARROWS! HOWIE, YOU LOVED IT.
>> Howie: YEAH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING, THESE GUYS HAVE
REALLY GROWN ON ME. I WASN'T THAT FLATTERING IN THE
BEGINNING. I SAID THEY WERE IN A PUB.
THEY WENT TO A STADIUM. NOW YOU'RE IN A BIGGER STADIUM.
FOR ME, THIS IS THE BEST ACT OF THE NIGHT.
>> Simon: I AGREE. >> Terry: SIMON, YOU AGREE?
>> Simon: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HOWIE.
IT WAS MY FAVORITE ACT OF THE NIGHT BECAUSE, FIRST OF ALL, YOU
WERE REALLY GOOD. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SONG.
YOU ARE -- I COULD TELL HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO YOU.
AND THE SONG I THOUGHT WAS REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: HEIDI?
>> Heidi: I THINK THIS HAS BEEN YOUR BEST PERFORMANCE THIS FAR.
I THOUGHT YOU SOUNDED GREAT. I LOVED THE SONG.
ESPECIALLY THE LYRICS IN THE PLACE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN THE
WORD, I THINK THOSE WORDS RESONATED WITH ME A LOT.
>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I LOVE YOU GUYS.
YOU SOUND GREAT. YOU LOOK GREAT.
THE SONG WAS AMAZING. I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE
YOU AND VOTE FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU GUYS DESERVE IT.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. >> Terry: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO
YOU GUYS TO BE HERE AT THE "AGT" SEMI-FINALS AND GET SO MUCH
LOVE? >> IT'S INCREDIBLE HONESTLY.
YOU KNOW, WE LOVE PLAYING MUSIC. WE LOVE PLAYING MUSIC WITH EACH
OTHER. IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE AT HOME
PLAYING ON THE STAGE TOGETHER. IT'S AMAZING.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
GUYS. LISTEN, YOUR VOTES CAN CHANGE
LIVES. ONLY SIX OF TONIGHT'S ACTS CAN
MAKE THE FINALS. IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.
>>> AFTER THE BREAK, THIS PERFORMER AND HER WONDER DOG
SHOOT FOR THE FINALS. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE
OF THE WORLD'S BEST DOG ACTS, YOUR CONNECTION AND
UNDERSTANDING HAVE TO BE TOTALLY INTUITIVE, BEYOND WORDS, AND
COMING STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART. AND THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE FOR
THESE TWO. HERE'S RONI SAGI & RHYTHM.
>> THE DAY I MET RHYTHM, IT WAS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
EVERYTHING WE DO IS TOGETHER. WE CUDDLE TOGETHER AND WATCH TV
TOGETHER. HE'S MY SOUL MATE.
WHENEVER WE DANCE TOGETHER, IT'S SOMETHING SO POWERFUL.
>> Simon: HOW DO WE KNOW THE DOG IS A REAL DOG?
>> SIMON, I PROMISE SHE'S REAL. RHYTHM AND SIMON ARE GOING TO BE
BESTIES. FOR TONIGHT'S PERFORMANCE WE'RE
ACTUALLY GOING TO BE USING A PROP FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT CAN CHALLENGE US.
IT'S A GREAT WAY TO SHOW THAT WE CAN DO MORE EVERY TIME WE'RE
PERFORMING. WE REALLY NEED TO TRAIN QUITE A
LOT, BUT BECAUSE WE'RE EXPERIENCING A HEAT WAVE RIGHT
NOW, IT'S MAKING IT MUCH HARDER. IT'S AIR CONDITIONED INSIDE, BUT
WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOT OF BREAKS. OF COURSE I WANT THE ROUTINE TO
BE GOOD, BUT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT IS THAT HE WILL BE
HEALTHY. I'M REALLY HOPING THAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE READY ON TIME FOR THE PERFORMANCE.
WE REALLY WANT TO GO TO THE FINALS, RIGHT?

PERFORMANCE RIGHT THERE. IT WAS SPECTACULAR.
IT WAS SO AMAZING. HE'S ON OVERLOAD.
I WISH WE COULD PUT IT IN A BOTTLE.
IT WAS AMAZING. THE TRAINING THAT MUST BE BEHIND
ALL THIS, THE PATIENCE THAT YOU HAVE.

TUNE. GOOD JOB.
>> Terry: SIMON, YOU LOVE THIS, MAN.
>> Simon: I WAS ON MY FEET BECAUSE WE SIT HERE YEAR AFTER
YEAR AND YOU ALWAYS WANT TO SEE SOMETHING BETTER THAN YOU'VE
SEEN BEFORE. HONESTLY, THIS WAS BETTER THAN
ANYTHING I'VE SEEN BEFORE. I REALLY MEAN THAT.
THAT WAS -- IF THIS WAS THE OLYMPICS, I WOULD SCORE THIS A
10. REALLY.
>> Terry: HOWIE, HOW INCREDIBLE WAS THIS?
>> Howie: OH, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT AND I MEAN IT.
THIS WAS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE. AND THE MOVIE DID HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS. THIS WAS BETTER.
THIS WAS A SEQUEL. I LOVE IT.
>> Simon: HOWIE, WE MAKE THE MOVIE WITH THE DOG.
>> Terry: RONI, WHAT'S THE BEST PART ABOUT DANCING WITH RHYTHM?
>> I THINK IT'S ABOUT BEING ABLE TO SHOW THAT YOU CAN SPEAK TWO
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND STILL CONNECT AND I HOPE THIS IS A
MESSAGE THAT PEOPLE WILL TAKE, NOT JUST FOR THIS KIND OF SHOW,
BUT FOR LIVING IN GENERAL. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK, YOU TWO.
DO YOU WANT THEM TO BE IN WITH A SHOT AT WINNING $1 MILLION?
THEN YOU HAVE TO VOTE. YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
SO DO IT. >>> COMING UP --
>> Howie: YOU'RE 15 YEARS OLD. YOU HAVE SO MUCH POISE, SO MUCH
CONTROL. YOUR VOICE IS SO CLEAR.
>> Sofia: TONIGHT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU BELONG ON THAT STAGE.
>> Simon: THAT WAS INCREDIBLE. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: UP NOW IS ONE OF
HOWIE'S GOLDEN BUZZERS, A 15-YEAR-OLD SINGER FROM
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. YOU KNOW, PICKING THE RIGHT SONG
IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL ON "AGT." THIS GUY HAS NAILED IT TWICE SO
FAR. CAN HE DO IT AGAIN TONIGHT?
HERE'S REID WILSON. >> Heidi: YEAH, YOU DID.
>> Terry: GOING INTO THE SEMI-FINALS IS REID WILSON.
>> IT'S CRAZY. I'M GOING TO SING MY BEHIND OFF
FOR YOU GUYS. I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO OVER 300
SONGS ON MY PLAY LIST AND I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE ONE I WANT
TO SING ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
I'M FREAKING OUT. HEY JODI.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH. >> I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO
SHOW YOU. IT'S A LITTLE SOMETHING.
>> WOW. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CROCHET YOU
SOMETHING AND MAIL IT TO YOU. >> HOW HAS THE COMPETITION BEEN?
>> I WISH I KNEW WHAT THE OTHER SINGERS WERE GOING TO BE
SINGING. MAYBE I COULD FIND A FASTER SONG
AND SLOW IT DOWN. >> I FEEL LIKE YOU COULD DO A
WHITNEY HOUSTON SONG. >> WHEN JODI MENTIONED WHITNEY,
IT GAVE ME A GREAT IDEA FOR A SONG.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO HIT THOSE HIGH NOTES LIKE IT'S NOBODY'S
BUSINESS. >> I HOPE THIS SONG IS GOING TO
GET ME TO THE FINALS. I WANT TO WIN.
THERE'S SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE AND I'M FREAKING OUT.

HOWIE, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER, MAN. >> Howie: MY GOLDEN BUZZER.
PROUD OF YOU, YOUNG MAN. I THINK YOUR VOICE IS PURE.
YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL. YOU HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING
INSTRUMENT. ONLY SIX ACTS CAN GO THROUGH
AND, YOU KNOW, BEING AS GOOD AS YOU ARE, I THINK YOU'RE MAKING
IT HARDER FOR AMERICA TO MAKE CHOICES.
I JUST HOPE THAT THEY VOTE. I HOPE YOU GET THROUGH.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD CHOICE IN SONG.
>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: SOFIA?
>> Sofia: I LOVE THAT YOU PICKED A SONG THAT IS SO DIFFICULT, SO
WELL-KNOWN, BUT YOU MADE IT YOURS.
I COULD HEAR ALL YOUR VOCALS SO CLEAR WITH THIS SONG.
I THINK YOU DID THE RIGHT CHOICE.
AMAZING. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: I LOVE THIS FRIENDSHIP
THE TWO OF YOU HAVE GOT. >> THANKS.
>> Simon: I SAW YOU TWO TOGETHER A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
ACTUALLY, HE GAVE YOU GREAT ADVICE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WHAT,
THE WORST THING IS IS BEING SAFE.
THAT WASN'T SAFE. COME ON.
YOU'RE 14 YEARS OLD AND YOU'RE SINGING WHITNEY HOUSTON.
THIS IS EITHER GOING TO WORK OR IT ISN'T.
I WASN'T SURE AT THE BEGINNING. THEN TOWARDS THE END WHEN YOU
HIT THE BIG NOTE, I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT, SMART DECISION.
GOOD JOB. >> Sofia: BRAVO.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: IT'S BEEN SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY TO WATCH YOU BLOSSOM ON OUR STAGE.
YOU STARTED OFF IN THE AUDITIONS SO SHY AND LITERALLY EVERY TIME
YOU'VE BEEN BETTER AND BETTER AND WATCHING YOU TODAY YOU ARE
GLORIOUS. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.
>> Terry: REID, HOW DID IT FEEL TO SING SUCH AN ICONIC WHITNEY
HOUSTON SONG? >> IT FELT SO GREAT.
I MEAN, IT'S SUCH AN HONOR TO BE ABLE TO SING ONE OF HER SONGS
AND SO HONORED TO SING IT HERE. HOPEFULLY YOU PUT ME THROUGH SO
I CAN SING ANOTHER SONG FOR YOU GUYS.
>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, REID.
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I'LL BE ANNOUNCING THE WINNER.
BUT FIRST, THE ACTS HAVE TO MAKE THE FINALS, AND THAT IS DOWN TO
YOU. REMEMBER, ONLY SIX WILL MAKE IT.
SO PUT YOUR FAVORITES THROUGH BY VOTING FOR THEM TONIGHT.

YEARS OLD AND BEEN AT BRENT STREET FOR 17 YEARS.
THIS MEANS THE ABSOLUTE WORLD TO ME.
>> SHE BELIEVES IN ALL OF US SO MUCH.
IT MAKES US BETTER DANCERS. >> GRAB AND THEN GO --
>> A LOT OF MY CHOREOGRAPHY IS ABOUT FIGHTING FOR POWER AND
FIGHTING FOR BEING ON TOP. WE'RE GOING INTO THE SEMI-FINALS

WON'T HAVE TO GET A JOB AFTER ALL.

COMEDIAN TO HAVE MADE IT TO THE SEMI-FINAL, AND HE'S MY GOLDEN
BUZZER. HE'S BEEN KNOCKING ON DOORS FOR
YEARS TRYING TO GET A FOOT IN. BUT NOW HIS TAKE ON LIFE BOTH
HERE AND IN HIS HOME COUNTRY IS GETTING HIM NOTICED BIG TIME.
FROM ZIMBABWE, HERE'S LEARNMORE JONASI.
>> Howie: TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE FUNNY BONE OF EVERYBODY IN A
TOTALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRY IS MAGIC.
YOU, SIR, ARE MAGIC. >> Terry: LEARNMORE JONASI.
>> WHAT? >> Howie: YOU GOT TO GET YOUR
MATERIAL. STAGE TIME IS KEY.
ROUGH WORKING THE CLUBS IN L.A.? >> I HAVEN'T GOT AN IN.
I'M TRYING TO. I MOVED FROM ZIMBAMWE TO
PENNSYLVANIA. I HAD TO KNOCK ON EVERY DOOR OF
EVERY COMEDY CLUB. AFTER MY TWO PERFORMANCES, I CAN
SEE THE DOORS OPENING.
I'M THE ONLY COMEDIAN IN THE
SEMI-FINALS. THAT'S TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
I'M TAKING HOWIE'S ADVICE AND STARTING DEVELOPING AND I'M
GOING OUT THERE TO PRACTICE MY MATERIAL.
WINNING "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" IS GOING TO OPEN SO MANY DOORS
FOR ME. THEY'RE GOING TO LET ME IN.
THEY'LL BEG ME INTO THE CLUB. I'M READY.
>> Announcer: GIVE IT UP FOR
LEARNMORE JONASI. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* LIVING IN AMERICA * * I FEEL GOOD *
>> HELLO, EVERYBODY. YEAH.
I LOVE IT, MAN. I LOVE IT.
SO GOOD TO BE BACK. SO GOOD TO BE BACK.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN ABOUT AMERICAN CULTURE BY WATCHING
AMERICAN MOVIES. I'VE NOTICED, WHENEVER AMERICA
MAKES A MOVIE ABOUT AFRICA, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO AFRICANS.
YEAH. I WATCHED "THE LION KING" FOR
THE FIRST TIME AND I WAS THINKING WHY DO THESE LIONS HAVE
AMERICAN ACCENTS? ARE THEY NOT IN AFRICA?"
AND HERE'S THE MESSED UP PART. THE ONLY ANIMAL THEY GAVE AN
ACCENT TO WAS THE MONKEY. WHAT?
YEAH. AND IT WAS CARIBBEAN.
WHAT IS THIS? WHAT KIND OF AFRICA IS THIS?
I'LL GIVE THEM THIS THOUGH. THE ONLY ACCENT THAT MADE SENSE
TO ME WAS THE AFRICAN WAS SCAR'S ACCENT BECAUSE HE WAS BRITISH
AND HE WANTED LAND.
THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR. WE'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
I LOVE AMERICA. I HAD THE LIFE OF YOUR DOGS IN
AMERICA. IF AFRICAN DOGS FIND OUT HOW
YOUR DOGS ARE LIVING, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE AN IMMIGRATION
PROBLEM VERY SOON. I'M TELLING YOU.
DOGS WILL BE COMING TO AMERICA ON A CANOE.
IT WAS CRAZY. THE OTHER DAY I WAS WALKING AND
ENJOYING MY DAY AND I SAW A DOG IN A STROLLER.
IT WAS JUST CHILLING THERE, ENJOYING ITS LIFE.
LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS A PEASANT FOR JUST WALKING.
OH, THAT'S ROUGH. THE LADY WAS LIKE, THIS IS MY
DOG. HIS NAME IS MOZZARELLA.
HE'S LIKE A RESCUE, BUT I LIKE TO THINK HE RESCUED ME.
HE'S, LIKE, 90% AUSTRALIAN DO YOU HAVE A DOG?
YES, I HAVE A DOG IN ZIMBABWE. WHAT BREED IS IT?
I THINK MINE IS JUST BROWN. THAT'S THE NAME OF THE BREED.
BROWN DOG. THEN SHE WAS LIKE CAN I SEE A
PHOTO? CAN I SEE A PHOTO OF YOUR DOG?
I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF MY DOG BECAUSE MY DOG IS AN EMPLOYEE.
YEAH, IT WORKS FOR ME. HE HUNTS, PROVIDES SECURITY.
DO YOU THINK SIMON COWELL HAS PICTURES OF HIS EMPLOYEES ON HIS
PHONE? DO YOU?
SHOW US YOUR PHONE.
DO YOU THINK HE'S OUT THERE CHILLING WITH HIS FRIENDS AND
PULLS OUT HIS PHONE AND IS, LIKE, GUYS, THIS IS HOWIE.
OH, MY GOD. LOOK AT HIM.
HE'S A RESCUE. OH, MY GOD.
HE'S 100% CANADIAN. WE JUST GOT HIM NEUTERED.
OH, MY GOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MY NAME IS LEARNMORE JONASI. APPRECIATE YOU.
>> Terry: MY GOLDEN BUZZER, LEARNMORE JONASI!
HOWIE? >> Howie: YOU KNOW WHAT --
>> Terry: EMPLOYEE NUMBER ONE. >> Howie: THIS WAS EPIC.
IT'S EPIC BECAUSE YOU PUT IN THE WORK.
WE SEE YOU AT THE ICE HOUSE. YOU WRITE.
YOU WORK IT AND IT'S SEAMLESS. IT SEEMS NATURAL.
SEEMS LIKE YOU JUST CAME UP WITH IT TONIGHT AND YOU WORKED IT AND
IT'S PAYING OFF. I HAVE A FEELING AMERICA IS
GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU. I FEEL YOU'RE GOING TO BE ONE OF
THE SIX. AND I'M NOT NEUTERED.
>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: LEARNMORE, I FEEL LIKE
I'M IN A GOOD MOOD BEFORE YOU START TELLING YOUR FIRST JOKE.
SERIOUSLY. I REALLY HOPE YOU MAKE TOYOTA
THE FINALE BECAUSE I WANT LEARNMORE AND LAUGH MORE.
>> Terry: SOFIA, I HEARD YOU LAUGHING.
>> Sofia: LEARNMORE, YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.
THE PEOPLE LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOU.
>> THANK YOU. >> Sofia: YOU'RE SO MUCH FUN.
YOU KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER EVERY TIME YOU'RE HERE.
>> THANK YOU. >> Sofia: I LOVE IT.
>> Terry: SIMON, I SAW YOU LAUGHING.
>> Simon: THAT WAS SO FUNNY, AND THAT'S WHAT -- THAT'S WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO. HONESTLY, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I
REALLY LIKE YOU AS A PERSON. THAT ROUTINE HONESTLY CRACKED ME
UP. IT WAS SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL.
YOU KNOW, I SAID THIS ABOUT SOMEBODY ELSE.
YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE FINAL. YOU SO DESERVE IT.
I THINK YOU WILL AFTER THAT. >> YES.
>> Terry: LEARNMORE, NOT ONLY
ARE YOU MY GOLDEN BUZZER. YOU DRESS AMAZING.
THIS JACKET IS FIRE. WHO DESIGNED THIS?
>> I DESIGNED THIS. MY SISTER MADE IT FOR ME.
I NEED A MILLION DOLLAR TO PAY HER BACK.
>> Terry: THEY'RE CHANTING YOUR NAME.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, LEARNMORE. 12 ACTS ARE PERFORMING TONIGHT.
6 WILL GO INTO THE FINALS. WHICH SIX IS ALL UP TO YOU.
LET'S KEEP IT GOING. THIS NEXT ACT IS ONE OF SIMON'S
GOLDEN BUZZERS. AND TONIGHT'S PERFORMANCE
CARRIES A VERY EMOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR THEM.
YOU'LL SEE WHY. IT INVOLVES OVER 1,200 DRONES
AND THE ENTIRE NIGHT SKY ABOVE THE "AGT" THEATER.
FROM DALLAS, TEXAS, HERE'S SKY ELEMENTS.
SKY ELEMENTS, YOU'RE IN THE SEMI-FINALS.
>> AS WE WERE PREPARING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE, I WANTED TO WRITE
DOWN WHAT IT MEANT. THE MOMENT WE MADE IT THROUGH, I
KNEW WHAT WE HAD TO DO FOR OUR SEMI-FINAL PERFORMANCE AND THAT
WAS TO TELL THE STORY OF BRILEY ROSE, MY DAUGHTER WHO WE LOST IN
2020. LOSING MY DAUGHTER WAS LIKE A
FIRE. THE FIRE CAN CONSUME YOU OR LIFT
YOU UP AND BECOME YOUR PASSION. AFTER WE LOST MY DAUGHTER, I SAW
MY FIRST DRONE SHOW. I WAS LIKE THAT WAS AWESOME.
I WANTED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT.
I DID A 180 WITH MY LIFE. I LEFT MY LAW CAREER AND PUT IT
ALL INTO SKY ELEMENTS TO MAKE IT THE BEST IT COULD BE.
>> IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE MY BEST FRIEND GO THROUGH THAT.
I ALWAYS WANT TO SUPPORT HIM IN EVERYTHING.
WE HAVE POURED OUR ENTIRE SOULS INTO THIS PERFORMANCE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST SHOW WE HAVE EVER PUT ON.
>> THIS PERFORMANCE IS DEFINITELY A LOVE LETTER TO MY
DAUGHTER. WHAT BETTER PLACE TO TELL THE
STORY OF BRILEY, MY ROSE, THAN PASADENA THE CITY OF ROSES.
THE REMINDERS OF THOSE WE LOST ARE EVERYWHERE.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND LOOK AROUND.
AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE THEIR PRESENCE IS STILL WITH YOU, NO
ONE IS EVER GONE. BRILEY ROSE I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE
IN SO MANY THINGS AND I KNOW YOU'RE STILL WITH ME.

>> Howie: YOU KNOW, IT IS EMOTIONAL.
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I WONDER IF IT'S A SIGN THAT
THIS SHOW IS AIRING ON 9/11 WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE CHILDREN AND
FAMILY MEMBERS LOST. WE LOST SO MUCH IN AMERICA.
WHAT A GREAT 9/11 TRIBUTE. WHAT A MOST EMOTIONAL, BEAUTIFUL
MOMENT. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR

GOLDEN BUZZER. >> Terry: SOLANGE.
SONIA AND SEBASTIAN, YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO FINALS.
>> I WAS HOPING FOR THAT. IT'S BEEN SO HARD TO PULL THIS
ACT TOGETHER IN JUST ONE WEEK. I DREAM OF HAVING MY OWN VEGAS
SHOW AND GIVING MY SON THE BEST LIFE I CAN.
NOW THAT DREAM IS CLOSER THAN EVER BEFORE.
TONIGHT I'M GOING TO NEED A LOT OF GOOD VIBES.
