[people singing in German]
- [sighs]
Heidi, are you sure that we know where we're going?
- Of course. I know exactly where we're going.
[monitor beeps] - Please proceed
to the highlighted route.
- Did you just turn on the navigation?
- Don't worry, Sofía, I'm gonna get us there.
- Yeah, maybe next month.
* *
[sighs]
Hey, is that...
- Simon?
- Hello.
- Simon, are you sure
you should be riding that thing?
- Yes, these things are completely safe.
- Don't be silly.
Heidi, let's pack up that bike.
- Come on. - Oh.
- Ooh, nice trunk space.
Hey, wait a minute, why is this closing?
Did you push any buttons? - No.
- * One, two, three *
- See you.
[engine revs] - [gasps]
- [laughs]
- Should we go get coffee? - Yeah.
[engine revs]
- Simon!
- No chance. [laughing]
- * Wishing they could have this much fun *
* Can't tell you why we do it *
* Gotta show you how we move it *
* Just let your worries fade away *
Ready?
Let's do it.
[cheers and applause]
- I just think you're a star.
- The whole act was perfect.
* *
- [laughs]
It's acts like you that's gonna make
this competition fascinating.
Absolutely genius. Four yeses.

- * Keep it groovin' *
* Keep it, keep it groovin' *
[cheers and applause] - It's you!
* *
- * Keep it groovin' *
* Keep it, keep it groovin' *

[Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke"]
Are you ready to meet your judges?
[cheers and applause]
- * They can feel it all over *
* They can feel it all over, people *
- Wait, wait. Simon?
Where's everybody else?
- Oh, something went wrong. I'll explain to you later.
Long story. - Hold on, hold on.
You know what? Okay. I'm hearing--
Wait, we have more judges in the house.
Put your hands together
for Heidi Klum and Sofía Vergara.
- * They can feel it all over, people *
* They can feel it all over *
- Please, give it up for Howie Mandel.
- * They can feel it all over *
* They can feel it all over, people *
- Oh, what--first of all, Sofía, are you okay?
You went down hard. [laughs]
Again.
- It's the second time I do the same thing.
- Is that why you're late? You were supposed to be here.
You were supposed to come down together.
- We are late because Simon just took off without us.
He just left us there.
- They stole my bike, Terry.
- Somebody needs to.
[laughter]
Are you guys ready to get this started?
- Ready. - Let's go.
- * You can feel it all over *
- I love you, Simon!
- Whoo! - Who was that?
- What are you doing? - I fell again.
- Here we go. Grab your seats, folks.
Grab your seats.
- Guys, we're getting the show started real soon.
Who's excited to be at "America's Got Talent" today?
[cheers and applause] [choir vocalizing]
- Okay, here we go. Here we go, gang.
[cheers and applause]
- Hello. Welcome to "America's Got Talent."
- Thank you.
- Who do we have here? Who are you?
- What's your name?
- My name is Nicolas RIBS. - And my name is Emma.
- Ah, and I hear an accent.
And I think it's a French one.
- Yes, I'm French. - Yes.
Parlez-vous Français.
- [chuckles]
- Are the two of you related? Friends?
- Um, that's my father.
- Ah, okay. - [chuckles]
- So this is a father and daughter act?
- Uh, no, I'm just here to translate.
- Ah, okay, so what is your father doing for us today?
- He is going to do magic.
- We love magic!
Tell us, how did you get into magic?
- Um, when he was 20 he begins to learn magic power.
- Magic power. - [chuckles]
And he was so crazy about magic that he left his job
and now is doing only magic.
- Oh, good. - What was his job?
- An audiologist.
- Hearing aids? - Yes, exactly.
- So why all of a sudden "America's Got Talent"?
- Um, actually, I'm a huge fan of the show,
so, uh-- - Ahh.
[cheers and applause]
- So you gave him a little push.
- So I told him
that if he wants to participate
to the greatest show in the world,
he have to audition to "America's Got Talent,"
so there we are. - Okay!
All right, we wish you good luck.
both: Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Poor guy's super nervous now. [chuckles]
- He was just laughing the whole way.
Every time she said anything,
he was just cracking up laughing.
- Okay, here we go.
- I think it's nervousness.
- [applauds]
[entrancing music]
* *
[audience gasps] [applause]
- Whoa.
* *
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Whoa!
* *
- Where the heck is he getting that all from?
* *
[cheers and applause]
* *
- How?
* *
[cheers and applause]
[audience gasps]
- What the heck?
Where did he get that from?
- Whoa.
[cheers and applause]
- That is amazing!
- Bravo!
* *
- Wow.
[cheers and applause]
- That was so cool.
Such a different way of presenting magic.
I want to know, what did you think?
- It think it's incredible, but it's my father, so--
[chuckles] - Yeah.
Did he do it well? - Yes, he did well.
- What did you think, Howie? - Oh, beyond well.
He said he was an audiologist.
I always think when people give something up,
like, a profession, you keep your fingers crossed
that they do well.
He made the best decision I've ever seen anybody make.
I've never seen magic better.
I've never seen magic more unique.
- Thank you. - I loved it.
- Why are you laughing, Nicolas?
- He's nervous laughing.
- I work so hard on writing material
and doing may act.
This is the biggest laugh I've had in five years.
- [laughs] - It's the stress.
- [laughs]
- Actually, laughter is a good remedy.
You're so right.
Anyway, what I loved about your father is
I think what he did was very unique.
And I think if there is one thing
we're all gravitating towards this year,
it's seeing auditions we haven't seen before.
And I've never seen anything like that before.
[cheers and applause] C'est bon.
- All right, Nicolas RIBS,
we're gonna start voting now.
Howie?
- Oui. both: Yes!
- You have deux oui.
- Thank you.
- Sofía? - Tres oui.
- Ah. Yes! Thank you.
- Simon?
- Nicolas RIBS,
you have four very large ouis.
- Thank you!
Thank you. - Yes!
* *
- Merci.
- You found the judges very, very funny.
[laughs]
Does he laugh when he gets nervous?
- Yes, he does. - Yes.
- Aw, that's good. That's okay.
- He's not, like, a typical kind of, I mean, magician.
- Yes. - Like, this is it.
- He was very subtle, very elegant, very--
- Very cool. both: Yeah.
- Four yeses! Yes!
We got it! - [laughs]
- Coming up...
- Wow! Incredible.
- You are original, super talented, funny.
- I just think you're a star.
- That was spectacular.
[cheers and applause]
- I found you annoying.
- [demonic voice] Who the hell you think you're talking to?
[laughter]
- You were perfect.
- You are really talented.
- Bravo!
- I fell in love with you.
- Acts like you make this competition fascinating.
- I love it.
- What's up? Hey, how's it going?
Damn right. Oh!
Oh, hey, you guys like bicycles?
- Whoo. - Hey, all right.
Yeah! Oh, nice.
[bell dings]
Hey, could you do me a favor? - I'll hold it. I'll hold it.
- Oh, I appreciate it. Thank you.
- You got it, you got it. I got you.
I got you, brother.
[cheers and applause]
- [chuckles] - Good evening.
What is your name?
- I am Keegan, the bicycle comedian.
- Okay. - Uh-oh.
- Well, you know, Simon loves bikes.
- Oh, is that right?
- Do you wear a helmet like that?
- No, because they don't look great, do they?
- What?
- Keegan, how old are you? Where are you from?
- I am 39 years old from Chicago.
- And why are you here on "AGT"?
- I've done stand-up for ten years.
- Wow. - I feel like I have
something unique to bring. - Okay.
- So you think you can win the million dollars?
- I think so. - And you want to go to Vegas?
- Hell yeah. - Okay.
So let's see what you've got.
- All right. [cheers and applause]
Went on a date recently.
She goes, "What do you do?"
I go, "Like, I'm a comedian,
"but I do jokes only about bicycles.
So I'm single...speed."
Like a bicycle.
[buzzer blares]
All right, okay, you ever see
those old bikes with the banana seat?
I think they're making a comeback.
I've been seeing a bunch.
[buzzer blares]
Okay. - [groans]
- You know my favorite kind of bicycle?
Trek.
You know my favorite star? Trek.
[buzzer blares]
Give me a break. Give me a break.
It's been a rough week, okay?
This guy tried selling me a stolen bike.
I'm like, "Hey, no peddling."
- Ooh.
[buzzer blares]
- It's over. - Aw.
These are top-notch bike jokes.
- Oh, your thing is bad jokes.
- No, no, bike jokes. - [laughs]
- We still have to vote,
but I know it's gonna be no.
Howie? - It's a no for me.
- No. Heidi, no. - No.
- Me, no. Simon? - See you later.
Take care. - All right.
- And off into the sunset he rides.
That man got a helmet and gloves
and decided he had an act.
- Why would you wait in line all day long to do that?
- You need more than one joke to create an act.
- My name is Mr. Pants.
And I will be performing jokes about pants.
I know that they're going to love it.
Hello, Simon. [buzzer blares]
I've had many jobs, and I've had many careers,
but the truth is, comedy chose me.
Terry, I'm going home. - Okay. [chuckles]
- But stand-up comedy is a very difficult path.
I've done horrible shows
to crowds that are less than ten.
Some jokes are clearly better than other jokes.
So to be able to perform to theater of people,
let alone the country, would mean the world.
I've been honing and crafting my routine all these years.
- Oh, God.
- So I hope to knock your socks off.
- Hello.
- Hello, everybody.
- Nice to meet you and what's your name?
- My name is Mr. Pants.
- Mr. Pants, I don't know how to say it,
but your fly is open and something is poking out.
- [groans] - [laughs]
- Is that your real name?
- Yes.
- What, Mr. Pants? - Mr. Pants.
Can we get a Q-tip for Simon over here?
It's Mr. Pants.
- [laughs] - Okay, Mr. Pants,
tell me where you're from.
- Brooklyn, New York.
- What is your day job?
- Well, I used to go to the office every day,
but since the pandemic,
I've been virtually replaced by sweatpants.
- Okay. Okay.
You're a comedian? - Sir, yes, sir.
I'm here to dazzle you with my stand-up comedy routine.
- So what's the dream, Mr. Pants.
- Vegas, baby.
- Okay, I'm not gonna ask any more questions.
It's a complete waste of time. Good luck.
- Thank you. [both chuckle]
- Be right back.
- Ladies and gentlemen... [both laugh]
- Mr. Pants.
[cheers and applause]
- Please, Terry, my father was Mr. Pants.
[laughter]
Look, I'm gonna make this brief.
I only got one day left on my return policy.
I inherited my father's "jeans."
He emigrated here from a Banana Republic.
He was very hard on me growing up.
He used to call me a huge "waist."
- [chuckles]
- You see, both of my parents wanted me to become a lawyer.
Never even came close to becoming a lawyer,
but I was once involved in a "suit."
[laughter]
But I've since traveled the world.
Went to Spain,
fell madly in love with a Spanish sundress.
[laughter]
Then we broke up and I was "pant-alones."
- [laughs]
- Yeah!
[applause]
- I love him.
- But I'm happily married now. - Aw.
[laughter]
My wife and I are poly.
That's polyester. - Oh.
[laughter]
- Our daughter Capri...
- [applauds]
- Brought home a pair of sweatpants.
Hey, I want to be a supportive father,
but I want to see her date someone
ironed with a crease.
This guy looked like he'd been donated.
[laughter]
She asked if he could spend the night, I said,
"In my house, you'll sleep in separate drawers."
- [laughs]
- Hey, guys, I'd love to tell you more jokes,
but unfortunately, I left them in my other pants.
[laughter]
Thank you so much.
You've been a lovely crowd of people.
[cheers and applause]
- I like him. - I like him too.
- He's funny.
- Standing ovation for Mr. Pants.
["(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty"]
* *
- Okay, Mr. Pants.
Well, I mean, I'm gonna go to Howie
because that's the loudest laugh
I think I've ever heard from you.
- Whoa. - You're hysterical,
and you didn't slack off.
- Oh, Howie.
- I don't know why I bother.
- Howie had that one in his back pocket, did he not?
- Okay. Heidi?
- You did exactly what comedians are supposed to do.
You made us laugh.
I can't wait for you to come back
and really let your pants down.
- [groans] - [laughs]
- Sofía?
- I thought it was so simple but so funny.
I would have never thought that you could relate
so many things to a pair of pants.
You're amazing!
- Thank you.
- * Shake, shake, shake *
- Uh, Mr. Pants, when you were talking,
I thought you were really annoying.
And then, actually, you were very funny.
It was silly funny, but I like silly funny.
And nobody's ever looked like this before.
- [laughs] - He got that right.
- So, like, people are gonna remember you.
- Thank you.
- Howie, yes or no? - Oh, yes.
- Heidi? - Yes!
- Sofía? - Yes.
- You have four yeses. Congratulations.
- * Shake your booty *
- Yes! Yeah, Mr. Pants.
- * Come on, shake, shake, shake *
- He was funny. - He was silly.
I mean, after the bike deal, I thought, "Oh, great."
- I know. - [laughs]
- I'm gonna get so many wrinkles here.
It's terrible.
- * Shake, shake your booty *

- Welcome, welcome, welcome to "America's Got Talent."
How you doing?
- Hi. - I'm so excited.
- We're so excited!
* *
- You guys went far in school.
You did--did you go far in school?
I know you were almost a dentist.
- I bet you were always outside of the classroom, no?
- I was forced out. - Did you finish school?
- I left when I was 16. - Oh, my God.
I was 17. And you?
- 17. - Oh, wow.
So you are the most educated at the desk.
- [chuckles] - Yeah, you are.
- * School's out for summer *
- #AGT.
- * School's out forever *
- [speaking indistinctly]
- What's your name? - My name's Mia Morris.
- Mia Morris. And your name?
- Oh. - And who's performing?
I see you got the mic.
- I--I'm performing. - You are performing?
And... - I'm here to carry gear.
- He's my roadie.
- He's your roadie? - In the flesh, yes.
- Are you guys related? - Yeah, he's my dad.
- Are you ready? - Can't wait.
She's gonna be great. - All right.
Well, go right out there, Mia. Go make it happen.
- * School's out forever *
[cheers and applause]
- Hi.
- Hello.
Welcome to "America's Got Talent."
- Thank you.
- What's your name? - My name is Mia Morris.
- Hi, Mia Morris.
And how old are you, Mia?
- I'm 17.
Junior in high school.
- Where ya--where you from?
- Nashville, Tennessee.
- Obviously you go-- you go to school.
- I do, unfortunately, yes.
- Unfortunately? - [laughs]
- You're not enjoying school?
- School schmool. It is what it is.
- I agree. - [laughs]
- Could live without it, you know.
- That's funny.
- And what are you gonna be doing for us tonight?
- So I'm a songwriter.
I'm gonna be playing one of my songs.
But I'm also a multi-instrumentalist.
Um, and I'm-- [chuckles]
[cheers and applause]
I'm playing as a one-woman band.
- How do you play as a one-woman band?
How do you play everything?
- With this here loop pedal.
- Oh, looping.
Explain to the people what looping is.
- So I like to describe a loop pedal
as a recording studio at your feet.
- Right. - I'll show you.
Check.
This is what a loop pedal does.
- So you record each individual sound yourself
and then it plays on a loop and hopefully it comes together
and magic happens. - And hopeful--
hopefully it comes together, yeah.
- I love that.
Is this what you want to do for a living?
Like, what's the dream?
- My dream is to share my music and my writing
with the world.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- I cannot wait to hear what you do.
- Thank you. [cheers and applause]
- I like this kind of thing.
- [beatboxing]
[playing bass guitar]
- Whoo.
* *
- Wow.
* *
[vocalizing]
- That's cool. - Isn't that cool?
- * Your daddy thinks I'm a loser *
* He likes his life of illusion *
* I got a bad reputation, yeah *
* Like the rest of my generation *
* Don't want you to trying to fix me *
- Whoo!
- * I don't care what you think I should be *
* What I should be *
* Before you even say *
* Hey, hey, hey *
* I've already gone my way *
- Whoo!
- * So if anyone's asking, I'm not *
* La, la, la dee la *
[cheers and applause]
- They loved it.
- She did it, man. She did it.
[Paramour's "Ain't it Fun" playing]
- Thank you.
* *
- I--I--I just want to start.
I just think you're a star.
I think looping is so cool. - Thank you.
- The fact that you're playing every instrument--
I could watch a concert.
I could watch you doing this.
I--I just love what you did.
Heidi, what do you think? - I thought it was
a lot of fun. One-woman show.
both: Yeah. - Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Sofía? - I think you're one
of the coolest girls that's been standing
in that stage. - [giggles]
- Simon?
- I think, Mia-- you know, look,
it was at times a bit of a mess,
but then again, it should be.
You know, it's kind of, like, it's all done in the moment,
so therefore it's not perfect,
but it shouldn't be perfect,
which is why I loved it so much.
- Thank you.
- I'd rather listen to somebody like you
who's original and talented rather than someone
who comes with some horrible backing track
and sings a song I've heard a million times.
This year it's all about originality.
- I can do that.
- We're gonna vote really quickly.
I'm giving you your first yes.
[cheers and applause] - Thank you!
- I give you a second yes. - Thank you.
- Sofía?
- I love you. Yes.
- Thank you. - Three yeses.
- Whoo!
- This is genius, Mia. Absolutely genius.
Four yeses. - Four yeses!
- Thank you guys so much!
- * Your rule of thumb makes me worrisome *
* Oh, I'm just a girl *
- I love you! - Thank you.
- * What I've succumbed to is making me numb *
* Oh *
- All right, Mia, you rocked that.
You rocked it.
- Cute. - I loved that.
- Yeah, that was cool. - It was so cool.
It was cool. - It's cool.
- Let's go!
- You did so good, honey. That was great.
- Thank you so much.
- * Here *
- All right, send out the next act.

- Did you not have birthday parties

- [laughs]
- I think you're bleeding. - I think so too.
- I really get into it.
- We have people who dive
three stories in the air.
We have people that set themselves on fire.
You popped a balloon and you're bleeding.
[laughter]
- I think I know where this is going,
but we have to do it. No.
- Okay, all right. - Sofía?
- No. - It's a no for me, and--
- You know what that means. Four nos.
- Thank you very much. - Bye.
- Hey, Willem, I'm sorry it didn't go so well,
but let's get you over to the medic, sir.

- Thank you, hermosa.
- And where do you come from?
- [speaking Spanish]
- He's from Cuba,
but he lives in Spain right now.
What are you going to show us tonight?
- [speaking Spanish]
- He's gonna do a very dangerous balancing act.
- Oh. - Ooh.
- I'm nervous. - I'm very nervous.
[cheers and applause]

Bueno, Chico, adelante.

- Wow.
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo.
- Chico, how long--
how long have you been doing this act for?
- [speaking Spanish]
- What? - What?
- Second time he does it in his life.
- What? - No.
Really? - Wow.
That was really scary.
- Pero mucho miedo. - Yes.
- Amazing. - Fantástico.
Um, the knives--there's no-- - La cuchillos.
- The puchillos.
[laughter]
I love it.
[cheers and applause]
- It leaves me wanting more.
I want to see what else you're gonna do.
- Ella quiere ver mas. - Yes, she wants to see
your pachitos. [laughter]
- Chico, what is his name? - Eh, Michael.
- Mike. - Michael.
- [speaking Spanish]
- He's his brother who is his partner, his friend.
- Aw, that's nice.

- It was mesmerizing.
I was, like, in a trance.
- * Before you can fly *
- We are the Dreamacha Choir.
[audience gasps]
[buzzer blares] - What?
- In season 17,
we see people take things to a whole new level.
- Yes!
- Being a singer and singing
in front of Simon Cowell and all the other judges is
really nerve-wracking.
- I hope I win over Simon.
He's a hard guy.
- No, no, no, no, no. Terrible.
Come back in a thousand years.
- I think he's probably one of the most honest judges.
- What was that?
- He knows what he's looking for.
He knows what works, so to impress him is
obviously the dream. - That's extraordinary.
[ both singing scales]
- Performing in front of Simon Cowell is
the scariest thing.
We really care about his opinion.
And we know he's always right about pretty much everything,
so it's terrifying.
- [sighs]
- * Came in from a rainy Thursday *
* On the avenue *
* Thought I heard you talking softly *
* I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio *
- Girls.
Yeah, that was a little bit stodgy, I thought.
- Simon the hater.
[audience booing]
- It's, like, is this act better
than what I've seen before?
Is it different?
Am I gonna remember it?
And this, unfortunately, I don't think
I'm gonna remember it.
[audience booing]
So I really wanted you to do well,
but based on this audition it's gonna be a no.
[audience booing]
- I'm low-key kind of nervous and freaking out right now.
- No, stop.
- * Get up * - Ow!

* With the base line, move those hips *
* Get up like the 808 and make your booty shake *
[buzzer blares]
- Oh.
[buzzer blares]
- Simon, why did you push?
- Well, I wanted it to be great.
- [groans] - 'Cause I liked you all
before you started to sing.
And then--no, I did.
I meant that as a compliment.
I didn't mean it that way.
But, look, the song wasn't very good.
So that's why we have the Xs.
- * I'm still breathing *
* I'm still breathing *
- None of what you're saying offends or scares me,
so thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.

But thank you so much for coming.

[cheers and applause]
She's a nurse.
And she's been active for, like, almost 30 years now.
- Wow. - So, yeah.
- How does she feel about you being on the show, Connor?
- Oh, she's really surprised.
Like, I don't know if that's a good thing
or a bad thing, but-- [chuckles]
- Well, we're gonna find out in a minute, aren't we?
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay, Connor, tell me what your big dream is.
- To be able to play to this every night.
You know, like, um-- [chuckles]
[cheers and applause]
- Okay, well, good luck then. - Awesome, thank you.

* No regrets is what we said *
* We can't go back again *
* I never said that we would die *
- Hold up. - * Toget-- *
- I've gotta be honest with you,
that was a bit boring. - Oh. [chuckles]
[audience booing]
- You try doing that. - Right?
- [chuckles]
[audience booing]
- And the audience agree.
- No, what? - Oh, no.
- They loved it. They were loving it.
- You have a second song? - What was that?
- You have a second song? - I do.
Okay, um--
[playing acoustic guitar]
* *
* 'Cause you lift my heart up *
* When the rest of me was down *
* And you, you enchant me *
* Even when you're not around *
* And if there are boundaries *

* I got you shackled in my embrace *
* I'm latching on to you *
* I feel like we're close enough *
* Could I lock in your love *
- Yeah.
- * Now I've got you in my space *
* I won't let go of you *

- Well done. Thank you very much.
Do you have a third song?
- [laughs] - No, I'm kidding,
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Okay.
- [laughs] - Okay, Sofía.
- Usually when Simon asks-- even though it's annoying,
when he asks for a second song, he's right.
This one was so much better. - Thank you.
- And your voice is beautiful.
- Thank you so much. [cheers and applause]
- You do have a beautiful voice,
but you're also very easy on the eyes.
- [chuckles] - I'm just, like, looking
at all these gorgeous girls right here,
and they have all little hearts in their eyeballs.
- I think you're gonna be able to come in off the street
and perform in a building like this
every night you want.
[cheers and applause]
- This was a really good audition.
You have a good voice.
If you go forward, you probably gotta go
a little bit outside your comfort zone.
And good for you, when we stopped you quick,
you just took a beat.
And then you really did deliver so much better
on the second song. So well done.
- Awesome. Thank you so much.
- Bravo. - Now the important part.
Howie, yes or no? - Yes.
- One. Heidi? - Yes.
- Two. Sofía? - Yes.
- Three.
And now you've got four yeses.
Congratulations.
[cheers and applause]
- Thank you so much.
- * Once in a lifetime *
* Never think we want more *
- Bye.
- * This is the start of the new day *
* The good life *
- How do you feel right now, man?
- Good, I was like--
For a second, I was like, "Oh, no."
- No, it looked awesome. - [chuckles]
- Oh, my God he got one of the biggest reactions so far.
- They love him.
Yeah. - It's true.
- Good job! - Thank you.
- No problem.

It's something that has never been seen before.
For 12 years, he's prepared all the hardware,
all the new technologies.
And now he's here.
As a team,
they've never had a show before,
so they are a bit nervous about Simon, but...
[all yell]
- We're gonna find out.
[cheers and applause]
- Hello.
Now, who are you, please?
- We are M++ from Japan.
[cheers and applause]

what they're gonna do.

We have prepared for this stage

12 years?
Do you think you can win?
- Of course. - Of course.
- [laughs] That's the spirit.
Yes. - No more questions.
[cheers and applause]

It's cool. Yeah. - Yeah, I love it.

So everyone stay safely in your seats, please.

It was beautiful. Very Vegas.
Very original.

- It was mesmerizing.
It was so delicate, so uniform.
The colors of the light was so soothing
I was, like, in a trance. I loved it.

- Heidi?
- I kind of forgot where I was for a minute.
I thought I was under the water and I just saw jellyfish.
But, I mean, your dancing is on point, too.
I loved it. It was a real treat.
- Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
You did it in the dark. You made it glow.
It became a light show.
I loved it.
[cheers and applause]
- It's acts like you that's gonna make
this competition fascinating this year,

- * Oh, happy day *
- I am so happy.
- * Oh, a happy day *
- * Oh, happy day *
* I want to be there *
- I can't believe this day is finally here.
The energy is unbelievable.
- I'm happy for you.
[choir vocalizing]
- Well, I'm just so happy that we're here.
- Actually, I'm happy to be anywhere.
- * Oh, happy day *
- We are happy to be here.
- You are our favorite audience of the year.
[cheers and applause]
- Now, talk to me, what is the message
of your choir?
You guys look so regal and beautiful.
- * Message of love *
- Oh, I love it.
- Okay, here we go.
- Can you give me a little warm-up?
[all matching pitch]
- I can't wait, I can't wait.
Go make it happen, guys.
- Whoo! - Yeah!
- * Oh, happy day *
* Oh, happy day *

- Uh, hi. - Hello.
- What is your name? - My name is Pier,
and we are the Dreamacha Choir. - Okay.
[cheers and applause]
- Oh, you love choirs. - I do.
- What is the dream if you should win
"America's Got Talent"?
What would you do with the money?
- You know, there's one thing that we're passionate about.
It's music and sharing the music,
so we'd use the money so we could do this full-time.
- Yeah. - Ah, yes.
- What does it mean, "dreamacha"?
- Dreamacha is a very ancient word
that means dream machine.
And we're here to make you dream.
- Oh, that's wonderful.
Share the music. We cannot wait.
Good luck. - Thank you.
- Whoo!

- [laughs]
- * With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride *
[buzzer blares] - What?
- * With a taste of a poison paradise *
* I'm addicted to you *
- Are you glad? - I love them.

- I love it! - I'm with you.
Oh, my God. - [speaks indistinctly]
* *
- Oh, my God.
- I love how Simon doesn't like my high-pitched angel voice,
but that he loves.
- This is another unexpected thing today, eh?
- Yeah, very.
- You won't be singing "Oh, Happy Day" will you?
- * Oh, happy day *
- It was like demons in a choir
singing the song from "The Omen,"
then going into Britney Spears.
It was so fantastically creepy. [both chuckle]
- But I'm all for going over to the dark side occasionally,
so I get it. - Whoo!
- Whoo. - Yeah!
- You too? - Yeah.
- Thank you. - Sofía?
- Well, I thought it was so unexpected.
I thought this was gonna be super boring.
I was dreading it.
But then suddenly,
I was, like, in some kind of movies
with dragons or vampires or something.
But it was very spectacular and creative.
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
- As you can see,
I'm the odd one out here on this table.
- I didn't particularly love it.
I don't think that people necessarily would buy
a ticket to come and watch this.
- But what about on Halloween?
People love demons, and vampires, and werewolves.
- Whoo.
- [growls]
- Oh, ho, ho.
- It's a bit normal
that you're surprised to see us,
because we are the only metal choir
in the world. - Whoa.
- This is the first time in history
- Wow.
- I love it. I didn't know you even existed.
And I'm so thrilled that I think you're opening
the eyes and ears of America on our stage.
Thank you so much. - Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Do you want to start voting?
- Well, absolutely.
It's original.
I wasn't expecting that, so I want to give you
your first yes.
- Thank you so much. - Whoo!
- I'm gonna give you your second yes.
That was spectacular. - Whoo!
- Please don't take it personal,
but the act was not for me. It's a no for me.
- It's fine.
- The queen of Halloween gave you a no.
Nothing thrills me more
than to give you your third yes.
[cheers and applause]
- [growls]
- Thank you. Thank you.
- It was so different.
- They could come back dressed as monsters
in the next round.
- Tell me how to do it. [growls]
- Yeah, you-- [all growl]
- Coming up...
- The crowd is going crazy for you.
- I paid them all to do that, so that was...
- Immediately I fell in love with you,
so I'm gonna do this.
[buzzer blares]
- Welcome to "America's Got Talent."
What are you doing today?
- We're dancers.
- * Like a bird with open wings *
* I can do anything *
- Can we get the next act
to the side of the stage, please?
- There's a lot of people.
- A lot of nervous people.
- 75, head below.
- * I can do anything *
- That 90 seconds could change your life.
- Now's the time for me to do something.
- Now I'm finally here in front of the world.
- And here we are.
- * I'm not ever coming down *
- All right, here we go, folks.
- What is the ultimate dream?
- I'll just show them the inside of my soul.
- You think it's gonna be you?
- [sighs] I hope so.
- And when I call the next number,
you guys are gonna stand up.
- * Up in the air *
* I'm walking on gold rays *
* I'm going up *
- How are you?
- I'm doing pretty good.
How are you? - Good.
Yeah, great, thank you.
Uh, what's your name, please?
- My name is Lily Meola. I'm a singer-songwriter.
- Okay. And how old are you?
- I'm 27. - And what makes you different
from all the thousands of other people trying to get,
you know, noticed at the moment?
- The song I'm gonna do today is an original song
that I wrote and it's called "Daydream."
And it's kind of evolved over the past couple of years,
the meaning of it for me.
- Which is?
- I wrote it at a time in my life
when things were really beautiful.
And I was essentially living my daydream.
I had a major label record deal.
I had a publishing deal.
I had butterflies I was hatching.
It was just--it was magical. It was just so beautiful.
And I wanted other people to be able to feel that.
And so that's where it originated.
And then my life flipped upside down,
and my mom was diagnosed with cancer.
And I became her full-time caretaker.
I lost my record deal during that,
but I think maybe it was a bit of a blessing,
'cause it gave me some extra time
to really be there for her.
[exhales sharply]
- Is she okay?
- No, she passed away. - I'm sorry, Lily.
- It's okay. [laughs]
I really told myself I wasn't gonna cry.
Um-- - That's all right.
- Um, she was my biggest cheerleader
and...[sighs]
- Lily, I have to ask you this,
are you okay to do this audition?
- I don't know how I'm gonna be able
to make it through a song without crying--[chuckles]
But, you know, singing was something
my mom and I really connected with.
And it's how I fell in love with music in the first place,
her playing music in the car.
So I'm just trying to make her proud.
And...continue to live my daydream.
- Good for you. - Good for you!
[cheers and applause] - Whoo.
- Okay, well, best of luck.
We're rooting for you, Lily.

[cheers and applause]
- Bravo.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- First of all, you have a beautiful voice.
And I could feel the emotion.
And, you know, you told us the story
before you the song about this time in your life
when things were perfect and you hatched butterflies.
- [chuckles] - You know?
And this moment right now,
you are that butterfly on the way.
[cheers and applause]
- I think your mother was watching you tonight.
And the way you were, like, feeling what you were doing,
that what it was so special about your performance.
And I really enjoyed that song.
- But you didn't-- you didn't put anything out
when you had a deal?
- No. - You didn't.
Okay, so you've never really tested the waters, have you?
- Mm-mm. - Okay.
- I haven't--
yeah, this was my first time putting music out
and I just went for it.
[cheers and applause]
- There is something special about you.
You know, everything you've been through
you told us about. You know, and I'm sure
those memories came flooding back to you
during that audition, and you're thinking,
"I've still gotta get through the song."
And I know you've gone through a very difficult period.
I think the fact that you've come back
after what you've gone through,
that says a lot about you, Lily, so good for you.
- Bravo.
[cheers and applause]
- I don't know what to say.
I'm, like, speechless, you know?
Like, sometimes you have someone on the stage
and you hear their voice--
And just everything about you, you just light up.
I see a light around you. And I don't know, I--
like, immediately I fell in love with you.
And for this season, season 17, I was like,
"There's always a lot of singers on the stage."
And I was like,
"I want to give someone else a shot."
But I can't help it,
'cause I really, really like you.
So I'm gonna do this. - [gasps]
- I'm gonna push this Golden Buzzer for you.
It's you! [audience gasps]

- Thank you.
- I think you're really, really, special.
- Lily!
You are going straight to the live show!
- * Try and catch me now *
- What are you feeling?
- I, honestly--
I'm just--I want to know what my mom has to say.
- [laughs]
- She'd be so mad at me
if I wasn't pursuing what I love.
And "Daydream" was one of her favorite songs.
So I think she'd be really happy
wherever she might be.
- * It's too late *
* To catch me now *
- Coming up...
- You are original, funny.

- I love this man already.
- * Until you even try *
- I mean, hello, hello.
- Hey. - You haven't done anything
and already the crowd is going crazy for you.
- I paid them all to do that, so that was--
- Ah, okay. - I got you, Venmo, okay?
[laughter]
- What is your name?
- Uh, my name is Jordan Conley.
- How old are you? - I'm 29.
- And where do you come from?
- I'm from Garden Grove, California.
- And you came here to dance? - No.
I actually came here to do stand-up comedy.
- Oh. [cheers and applause]
[chuckles]
- Jordan, how long have you been a comedian?
- I've been doing it for seven years now.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- And that's how you make a living?
- I--I would like to say yes,
but also, do you want your fries with more ketchup?
You know what I mean? Like, does that make sense?
Okay, I just wanted to confirm. That's--so yeah.
- But that didn't discourage you,
because here you are. - Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. [cheers and applause]
[chuckles] - So what is your dream?
What--where do you see yourself in the future?
- I have very, very big dreams.
So my dream right now is all based off of Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart did a football stadium
I think with, like, 73,000 people.
My goal is 73,001.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow. That's ambition.
- Okay, so let's see what you've got.
- Okay, thank you.
So I come from a very tough upbringing.
Like, I have a military family.
My parents met in the Marine Corps.
Like, that's where my parents met, right?
Like, my dad came to me, he was like,
"Yo, it'd be so cool
if my oldest son could join the military."
I was like, "Dad, it'd be so cool
if you adopted somebody older than me, yeah."
- [chuckles] - I'm--[chuckles]
I'm not that guy. I feel like,
if you're gonna go overseas,
you need to be willing to take secrets to the grave.
I'm not that guy, okay? You know what I mean?
Like--like, if I go overseas--
let's say I get captured.
I become a prisoner of war.
I'm telling my secrets, your secrets,
and Victoria's secrets. You know what I'm saying?
[laughter] [cheers and applause]
I'm telling them all.
Like, I could be in a hostage situation
and this guy's trying to threaten me.
He's like, "What's it gonna take
to get these secrets from you?"
I'm like, "Sir, a pen and paper.
"Just--get-- listen, give me that,
"put the knives away, this is a celebration.
You caught the right guy, okay?"
- [laughs]
[cheers and applause]
- The toughest person in my family is
by far my mom.
She's tough. She's old-school.
Like, if you ever got in trouble with her,
she would turn whatever situation with you
into a horror movie scene, I promise you.
[chuckles] This one day she says,
"Jordan, didn't I tell you
"to come downstairs and do these dishes?
You better do these dishes before you get in trouble."
I lost at a video game.
I got angry. I snapped.
I said, "You ain't done nothing all day.
"I suggest you stay downstairs and do them dishes
before you get in trouble."
[chuckles] Out of nowhere, this is all I heard.
[demonic voice] "Who the hell you think you're talking to?"
- [laughs] - [chuckles]
As soon as I heard that voice,
all the power in my house cut off, okay?
The lights cut off.
These crows came out of my closet.
My windows opened up.
There were these two little girls
in a school uniform jumping rope and singing.
They were like, "One, two, you're mama's coming for you."
- [laughs]
- I woke up a week later confused.
Thank you guys.
[cheers and applause] I'm Jordan.

- You are just naturally funny,
because you are super, super talented.
- Absolutely.
- * Ain't no mountain high enough *
* Ain't no valley low enough *
- When you did the voice,
you really cracked me up.
- [chuckles]
- This was a really, really, really good audition.
I like you a lot. [cheers and applause]
- * Remember the day I set you free *
- I mean, you are so fast.
It's crazy how you go from here to there
and here to there, but, like, I was, like following.
And then we're in your house, and I was there with you.
And it was all funny.
And I'm doing the same thing to my kids.
When they don't behave, guess what?
- You know, there are certain people--
you've mentioned Kevin Hart.
And one of the things that makes these people stars
is there are people that come out
and then they do an act.
And then there are people that come out,
you believe there's no separation
between who that person is and this is not an act.
The difference is people go, "I love Kevin Hart."
People are gonna say "I love Jordan Conley.
It's not his act. I love him."
- * 'Cause, baby, there ain't no mountain high enough *
* Ain't no valley low enough *
* Ain't no river wide enough *
- So we're gonna vote.
I'm gonna give you your first yes.
Howie? - Your second yes.
[cheers and applause]
- Third yes. - Simon?
- I'm gonna give you roughly 4,000 yeses.
[cheers and applause]
- * Ain't no valley low enough *
- [sighs]
- Bravo!
I've never seen you laugh so much.
- He was so funny. It was that voice.
- Yeah, you were really, like-- you were doing, like,
this thing. [laughs] - Yeah.
- [laughs]
- Oh, Jordan.
Hey, man, give me a hug. Give me a hug.
Aw. [chuckles] You look emotional.
- Ah, man, a bee fell in my eye.
- [laughs]
Coming up...
- Celine Dion.
- [vocalizing]
- We are the new superstars of magic.
- [chuckles] [cheers and applause]
["Express Yourself" by Charles Wright]
- * Express yourself *
- [vocalizing]
- I'm singing opera.
- * Express yourself *
[giggling]
- [vocalizing] - [singing operatically]
- * You don't ever need help *
- Just one more step. You can hang right here.
- What are you gonna be doing here on "AGT"?
- I am an opera singer.
- All right.
How did you get into opera?
- "AGT" season five.
I heard Jackie Evancho sing "O Mio Babbino Caro."
- Mm-hmm.
- About ten minutes after I heard her sing,
I went to my mother's computer,
I put on the karaoke for "O Mio Babbino Caro,"
and I started, you know, singing along with it...
[singing opera]
when I as 12-years-old.
- This "AGT" is making stars. You know what I mean?
So many people growing up on it.
You are about to go out and meet
the actual Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi, Sofía.
And they are ready to see you right now.
Merissa, go out there and make it happen.
You ready? - I'm ready.
- All right, I've got your back.
[funky music]
- Hi.
- Hello there.
- Welcome to "America's Got Talent."
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
I'm so excited to be here representing New York.
Whoo! Yonkers, Yonkers.
- And what is your name?
- My name is Merissa Beddows. I'm 23-years-old.
And I'm a student right now
at the Curtis Institute of Music.
I'm an opera singer.
- Ah. - Ooh.
[cheers and applause]
- Whoopee.
- Well, I'm ready if you guys are all ready?
All right, good luck.
[cheers and applause]
Uh-huh.
- So, Heidi, I would like to play a game.
This die has six
of some of my most favorite impressions that I do on it.
- Oh. - Okay.
- I'm going to begin singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"...
- Okay. - As me.
And then I'm going to ask you to give me a name.
- Okay. - Okay. Here I go.
* Somewhere over the rainbow *
* Way up high *
* There's a land that I heard of *
* Once in a lullaby *
- Ariana Grande.
- * Somewhere over the rainbow *
- [laughs]
- [chuckles]
- * Skies are blue, baby *
- Your grandma.
* *
- * And the dreams that you dare to dream *
* Really do come true *
- Stevie Nicks.
- * Someday I'll wish upon a star *
* And wake up where the clouds are far behind me *
- Celine Dion.
- * Where troubles melt like lemon drops *
* Way above the chimney tops *
* That's where you'll find me *
- Snow White.
- * Somewhere, ah-ha-ha *
* Over the rainbow *
- [chuckles]
- * Blue birds fly *
- Siri? [notification chimes]
- [robotic voice] Birds fly over the rainbow,
why then oh why can't I?
[cheers and applause] - Bravo!
- Very good.
She was really talented.
- * I'm every woman *
* It's all in me *
- That is tremendous skill.
- You know, the truth of the matter is,
that even before you started doing the impressions,
you're a very good singer. - Thank you.
And you're a great impressionist.
You're original in the way
you want to present your impressions musically.
So I think you did an amazing job.
- Thank you so much, Howie. - I loved it.
It's a different way of doing impersonations.
I love that I was part of your act a little bit.
And my favorite, I think, was Celine Dion and Siri.
- Yay.
- I think the whole act was perfect.
You nailed every single voice.
- Oh, thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- I think the square, or the cube,
going forward I would lose,
'cause it slowed down the act. - Okay.
- However, you are original, super talented, funny.
On top of that,
there is a gigantic gap in the market right now
for somebody like this,
so your timing is on the money.
- [sighs] Oh, thank God.
I thought you were gonna say something else.
- Let's vote.
I'm gonna start with your first yes.
A big, fat yes from me.
- Thank you so much.
- Howie? - Yes.
[cheers and applause] - Sofía?
- Yes! - Simon?
- You've got four yeses.
- * I'm every woman *
- Thank you. - Well done.
* *
- * I'm every woman *
- I love the Siri
because the Siri had a little glitch.
- That was so great, the glitch in it.
- We can't wait to see what you do next, Merissa.
You were absolutely phenomenal.
- [vocalizing]
- Coming up...
- The suspense-- - What is happening?
- There are moments like this
when you're really, really proud to be a German.
- I didn't get it.
- Whoa. - Is that your card?
- Yeah. - That's a good trick.
- * And I got something to say *
- We are here to find the winner of $1 million
and a chance to headline
the "AGT" Las Vegas Live at Luxor Hotel.
- There are so many great magicians in Vegas
who are from "America's Got Talent."
- And that's the reason why we are here,
because we are Las Vegas.
* *
- We will win this entire show.
- * The power *
[cheers and applause]
- Wow. - Hi.
- Good evening, how are you?
- Hello. - And who are you?
- This is Siegfried. - This is Joy.
- And we are... [together] Siegfried and Joy.
- Good. - Yippee.
[cheers and applause]
- And where are you from?
- We are from Berlin, Germany.
- Oh, Berlin, Germany. - Super.
- Oh, thank you so much.
- Have you flown in just to do this show?
- Yeah, of course. - Yes, of course.
- We are just here for the show.
- Amazing. - [speaking indistinctly]
- [chuckles]
- Is what you do full-time?
- We are full-time magicians. - We do magic all the time.
So magic is in us,
and we want to share the magic with everybody.
[cheers and applause] - I love that.
So are you the best magicians in the world?
- We are the new superstars of magic.
- Okay, that'll do.
- In the end, let the people decide.
- Yeah. - Exactly.
That's what we're here for. Good luck.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- Let's go. - Let's do it.
- Welcome to Las... [together] Vegas.
[Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius"]

- Is this "Sirius"?
* *
- Whoa.

- [laughs]
[dramatic music]
- [laughs]

- The suspense. - [chuckles]
- What is happening?
* *
[cheers and applause]
- [laughs]
[cheers and applause]
[laughs]
- [chuckles] - I love that.
I love that.
- Gone. [sighs]
But now, ladies and gentlemen, right here behind me,
We have this vorhersagetunnel.
- What? - Vorhersage tunnel.
- And inside this tunnel, there is a fruit.
And nobody knows which fruit is inside.
- We don't. - But you will decide.
Look--look, Simon, I have five cards.
- Yes. - Five cards.
- I'm watching. - [laughs]
- Five numbers. - Yup.
- Five different fruits. - Yep.
- Pick one.
Any one. - Oh, gosh.
Um, number one?
- You pick one? - Yeah.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Let me pull this out.
Okay. Simon... - Yes?
- You could have picked every-- any fruit.
Are you ready? - [chuckles]
- He could-- Simon could pick any fruit,
but Simon says banana.
- [chuckles] [cheers and applause]
- That doesn't say banana.
* *
- Oh.
* *
- * This magic moment *
* So different and so new *
* Was like any other until I kissed you *
- Thank you so much.
Thank you, America.
[cheers and applause]
Thank you, America.
- * Sweeter than wine *
- You know, there are moments like this
when you're really, really proud to be a German.
- How do you guys do it? I don't know.
- [speaking German]
- I have another one.
- It's a present for you.
We brought it all the way from Germany.
- Yes, give it to me. - You catch this.
Ooh. - Look at this.
- Wow. - It's a strawberry.
Thank you. - Howie?
- Love this.
This is the year, I think, on our show,
where comedy is becoming king.
- We are magicians.
- [laughs]
- [coughs] [spits]
both: Oh!
- [laughs]
- * Time in my life *
- You guys are brilliant.
This is so creative.
This is so much-- - Whoa, dang.
- Joy, not again. - Thank you so much.
- I mean, I want to be part of your act one day.
[cheers and applause]
- Ah, Sofía, thank you.
- I'm slightly confused because I didn't get it.
And I found you two annoying.
[audience booing]
Well, I'm sorry, but there were quite a few people
in the audience who agree with me.
[audience booing louder]
- Why don't we vote?
I'm gonna start with your first ja.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- I'll be the second, so it's a ja ja.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Simon?
- I thought it all was a bit stupid,
if I'm being honest with you.
- It doesn't matter.
I'm gonna give you the third yes.
- * Could it be magic now *
* *
- This is Siegfried. - This is Joy.
- And we are... [together] Siegfried and Joy.
[cheers and applause]
- [chuckles]
