NEVER LIKE THIS. BUCKLE UP.
ALL THE WAY FROM GUINEA, WEST AFRICA, CHECK OUT AMOUKANAMA
WE WANT TO GO ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
WE DO EVERYTHING TO WIN THIS. OUR FAMILY WAS SO HAPPY
BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO TRAVEL.
WE'RE FROM WEST AFRICA. IT'S VERY FAR FROM AMERICA.
GUINEA, WE HAVE REALLY GOOD FOOD AND REALLY GOOD PEOPLE.
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LEAVE. WE'RE A POOR FAMILY.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE.
THAT'S WHY WE CREATED AMOUKANAMA SO WE CAN TRAVEL AROUND THE
WORLD TO SHOW WHAT WE HAVE AND GIVE OUR FAMILY A BETTER LIFE.
WE HAVE WHERE WE CAN TRAIN. THIS TIME WE HAVE SOMETHING NEW.
SOME PARTS CAN GO WRONG, BUT WE WANT TO FIGHT FOR OUR FAMILY AND
WE'RE WILLING TO PUSH OURSELVES TO THE LIMIT.
TO BE IN VEGAS, THAT'S A BIG JUMP FOR US.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
THAT MEANS EVERYTHING TO US. **

STORE.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GUYS.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: AMOUKANAMA!
WOW! HOWIE?
Howie: I GOT TO SAY, WHEN THEY FIRST PERFORMED IN THE
AUDITION, I WAS NOT HERE BECAUSE I WAS SICK.
TONIGHT I'M HERE. I SAW YOU.
YOU GUYS ARE SICK IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
NOTHING COMPARES TO IT. YOU ARE THE BEST ACT SO FAR
TONIGHT. Terry: HEIDI?
Heidi: I LOVE YOU GUYS. THE FACT YOU DON'T HAVE A
CHOREOGRAPHER HELPING YOU, THAT MAKES YOU GUYS MORE SPECIAL.
YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEONE ON THE SIDELINES CHEERING YOU ON
TELLING YOU TO MOVE. YOU'RE DOING THIS ON YOUR OWN.
YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD. WELL DONE.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. Terry: SOFIA?
Sofia: THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY BUT GOOD JOB, GUYS.
I COULDN'T THINK YOU GUYS COULD GET BETTER BECAUSE I LOVED YOU
SO MUCH. THIS WAS ANOTHER LEVEL.
IT WAS. Terry: SIMON, ARE YOU
ENTERTAINED?
Simon: SLIGHTLY. YOU ALWA YOU'RE GOING TO GET
BETTER. THAT WASN'T AN 8.
IT WAS A 10. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GUYS.
LISTEN, ONLY TWO OF TONIGHT'S ACTS ARE GONNA GO STRAIGHT
THROUGH TO THE SEASON FINALS. SO YOUR VOTES ARE M
VOTING IS OPEN NOW AND CLOSES AT 7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW.

Howie: YOU'RE LIKE THE NEW ELVIS OF COUNTRY.
I THINK YOU'RE A HIT. AS SOON AS YOU HAVE OPINIONS
AND CELLULITE, THEY'RE LIKE GET OUT OF HERE.
Sofia: THAT WAS SO FUNNY. I LOVED IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: SOME THINGS NEVER
CHANGE ON "AGT." WE LOVE DOGS.
HERE'S ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING DOG ACTS WE'VE EVER SEEN.
PLEASE WELCOME AMAZING VERANICA AND HER INCREDIBLE FRIENDS.
I'M 12 YEARS OLD. MY FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL IS
SCIENCE, AND I REALLY LOVE ICE CREAM.
ME AND MY FAMILY LIVE ON A FARM IN OXFORD, FLORIDA.
WE HAVE ABOUT 150 ANIMALS. I HAVE CHICKENS, HORSES, CAMELS,
GOATS, CATS, BUT MY FAVORITE ARE MY DOGS.
THEY'RE MY BEST FRIENDS. LOVE YOU.
GROUP HUG. THIS IS MISHKA.
HE'S ENERGETIC AND LOVES JUMPING FROM HAY BALL TO HAY BALL.
THIS IS ROMA AND THIS IS RITA. GOOD JOB.
I PLAY AROUND WITH THEM A LOT OUTSIDE.
MY MOM'S THE ONE WHO MAKES ME GO INSIDE ALL THE TIME, WHICH I
DON'T LIKE TO DO. SHE'S LIKE, DO YOUR SCHOOL.
I'M LIKE, CAN I KEEP PLAYING WITH MY DOGS?
SHE'S LIKE, NO. EVEN THOUGH I'M A KID, I WANT TO
SHOW AMERICA ME AND MY DOGS CAN DO ANYTHING.
WE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING A LOT. SOMETIMES DURING THE SHOW THEY
RUN OFF OR WON'T LISTEN. IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE A DOG
ACT HAS WON. I'VE BEEN LOOKING UP TO DOGS MY
WHOLE LIFE, BUT NOW IT'S MY TURN.
* DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, JUST MOVE YOUR BODY *
* LISTEN TO THE MUSIC * * GO AHEAD GET CRAZY *
* ANYONE CAN DO IT * * SHOW THE WORLD YOU'VE GOT THAT
FIRE * * FEEL THE RHYTHM GETTING
LOUDER * * YOU'VE GOT THE MOVES *
* I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I FEEL BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING *
* BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING * * DANCING, YEAH *
** **
* LISTEN TO THE MUSIC * * YOU MIGHT GET HIT TWICE *
* THEY KNOW YOU CAN DO IT * * SHOW THE WORLD YOU GOT THAT
FIRE * * FEEL THE RHYTHM GETTING
HOTTER * * SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU CAN
DO * * SHOW THEM YOU GOT THE MOVES *
* I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I FEEL BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING *
* BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING * * DANCING, YEAH, YEAH *
** **
* BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING * * BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING *
* I FEEL BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING *
* YEAH, YEAH * * BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING *
* DON'T YOU KNOW WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER *

* LISTEN TO THE MUSIC * * YOU CAN DO IT *
* SHOW THE WORLD YOU GOT THAT FIRE *
* FEEL THE RHYTHM GETTING HOTTER *
* SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU CAN DO *
* SHOW THEM YOU GOT THE MOVES * * I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I
FEEL BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING * * BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING *
* WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER * * FEEL BETTER WHEN I'M DANCING *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: AMAZING VERANICA AND
HER INCREDIBLE FRIENDS. SOFIA?
Sofia: YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH ANIMALS ON
A STAGE. YOU'RE SO IN CONTROL.
I LOVE IT. IT WAS AMAZING.
NOW THEY'RE GOING CRAZY, BUT THEY'RE DOGS.
Terry: SIMON, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Simon: WHAT'S HAPPENING? Heidi: OH, MY GOSH.
Howie: THEY'RE DOING THAT AFTER YOU SAY SHE'S SHOWING
CONTROL. Simon: IT'S LIKE ME TRYING TO
TRAIN MY DOGS WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
ACTUALLY, I TELL YOU WHAT, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID THAT
BECAUSE -- BECAUSE AS SOFIA SAID, IT'S A LIVE SHOW AND, YOU
KNOW, NORMALLY AN ACT LIKE THIS WOULD GET NERVOUS.
IT DID EVERYTHING. IT WAS MAGIC AS WELL.
THIS WAS BETTER THAN YOUR FIRST AUDITION MONTHS AGO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: HOWIE?
Howie: I FELT THERE WAS A LOT OF MISTAKES, BUT THE MISTAKES
WERE ADORABLE. IF YOU'RE A GORGEOUS LITTLE
POODLE IN A SKIRT, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
THAT'S WHAT WE LEARNED TODAY. IT WAS ADORABLE.
WHO COULD SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE? IT'S KIND OF FUNNY IT'S CHAOTIC,
RIGHT? RIGHT?
I KNOW I'M RIGHT. I'M A GOOD JUDGE.
Terry: HEIDI? Heidi: IT IS AN OVERLOAD OF
CUTENESS. THIS ONE IS UPSET BECAUSE SOFIA
AND I ARE ALSO IN PINK. SHE'S LIKE I HAD IT.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH ANIMALS.
I COMMEND YOU FOR TRAINING THEM. WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE.
IT'S VERY CUTE. Terry: VERANICA, NOW THAT THE
DOGS, YOUR FRIENDS ARE FAMOUS, WHICH ONE IS THE DIVA?
THAT WOULD BE RITA IN THE PINK DRESS.
SHE LOVES WEARING DRESSES. Terry: THAT'S IS DIVA.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, VERANICA AND FRIENDS.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM BACK IN THE FINALS, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU
GOTTA DO -- VOTE. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES
FOR EACH ACT ONLINE AND WITH THE "AGT" APP.
STILL TO COME, AN ENGINEER TURNED STAND-UP COMEDIAN AND A
SENSATIONAL SINGER BRINGING A NEW TWIST TO COUNTRY.
IT'S DON McMILLAN AND DRAKE MILLIGAN WHEN WE COME BACK.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: IT'S A PRESSURE COOKER TONIGHT FOR THE ACTS.
THERE IS SO MUCH ON THE LINE. AND, AS THEY STEP UP TO THEIR
FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE, FOLLOW THEM ON TWITTER, INSTAGRAM OR
FACEBOOK @AGT. GO AND GET YOURSELF INVOLVED.
OKAY, NEXT TONIGHT A YOUNG SINGER WHO SURVIVED A MAJOR
TRAUMA THAT AFFECTED, NOT ONLY HER HOMETOWN, BUT THE WHOLE
COUNTRY. SHE'S FIGHTING HER WAY BACK TO
NORMAL LIFE AND THIS COULD BE ANOTHER BIG STEP FOR HER.
FROM OXFORD, MICHIGAN, HERE'S AVA SWISS.
* ALL THE CALM * EVER SINCE I WAS LITTLE I
WOULD WATCH THIS SHOW. I NEVER IMAGINED I WOULD ONE DAY
BE STEPPING ON THE "AGT" STAGE. WHAT HAPPENED IN MY HOMETOWN
CHANGED EVERYTHING. BACK ON NOVEMBER 30th, MY
BROTHER AND I WERE PART OF THE OXFORD SCHOOL SHOOTING.
WE LOST FOUR OF OUR STUDENTS AND SEVEN OTHERS WERE INJURED.
COMING BACK FROM SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS SOMETHING WE ALL HAD TO
LEARN TOGETHER. I'M JUST ONE STORY OUT OF THE
1,800 THAT WENT THROUGH IT AT THE SAME SCHOOL I WAS IN, THE
SAME DAY, THE SAME MOMENT. THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES.
AFTER ALL THIS HAPPENED, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO GET COMFORT GOING
BACK OUT IN PUBLIC. ARE YOU NERVOUS?
YEAH, I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS. I LEARNED THAT YOU JUST HAVE
TO LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND I'M DOING IT.
Simon: I THINK YOU ARE GUTSY, I REALLY DO.
YOU'LL DO AWESOME. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
SO EXCITED FOR YOU. I LOVE YOU.
LOVE YOU TOO, BUDDY. BYE.
I DON'T EVER HANG UP THE PHONE WITHOUT SAYING I LOVE YOU
BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A TOMORROW.
IT'S THE SAD TRUTH, BUT YOU DON'T.
I WANT TO USE ALL OF THAT NIGHT BECAUSE THIS PERFORMANCE IS FOR
OXFORD. I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE THAT
LOVE IS SO MUCH STRONGER THAN HATE.
* THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROPE TO TIE ME DOWN *
* THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TAPE TO SHUT THIS MOUTH *
* THE STONES YOU THROW, BUT I WON'T STOP UNTIL WE'RE FREE *
* OUR HEARTS CAN'T BE BROKEN * * THE WORLD CAN'T BE BROKEN *
* THIS IS MY RALLY CRY * * I KNOW IT'S HARD, BUT WE HAVE
TO TRY * * THIS IS A BATTLE I MUST WIN *
* TO WANT MY SHARE AND NOT OFFEND *
* THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROPE TO TIE ME DOWN *
* THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TAPE TO SHUT THIS MOUTH *
* THE STONES YOU THROW CAN MAKE ME BLEED *
* BUT I WON'T STOP UNTIL WE'RE FREE *
* OUR HEARTS CAN'T BE BROKEN * * THE WORLD'S HEART CAN'T BE
BROKEN * * BETRAY ME *
* ABUSE ME * * I'M WINNING *
* MY SPIRIT, YOU CANNOT DENY ME *
* THIS BROKEN WORLD KEEPS TURNING *
* I'LL NEVER SURRENDER * * THERE'S NOTHING BUT MY BATTLE
CRY * * THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ROPE TO TIE
ME DOWN * * THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TAPE TO
SHUT THIS MOUTH * * THE STONES YOU THROW CAN MAKE
ME BLEED * * BUT I WON'T STOP UNTIL I'M
FREE * * MY HEART CAN'T BE BROKEN *
* THE WORLD'S HEART CAN'T BE BROKEN *
* THIS WILD HEART CAN'T BE BROKEN *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: AVA SWISS!
HEIDI?
Heidi: AVA SWISS, WHAT CAN I
SAY? CONGRATULATIONS.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR NAILING THAT SONG.
IT'S SUCH A HARD SONG TO SING. YOU HAVE TO SING SO LOW AND SO
HIGH. I'M IN AWE OF YOU AND YOUR
TALENT. THANK YOU FOR TELLING YOUR
JOURNEY IN FRONT OF ALL OF US AND GIVE SO MANY PEOPLE HOPE.
YOU NAILED IT. Terry: SOFIA?
Sofia: I THINK YOU'RE SO CONNECTED TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING,
TO YOUR PERFORMANCE, THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN'T MOVE US.
IT'S ALWAYS MOVING WHEN WE SEE YOU HERE AND THIS WAS
SPECTACULAR LIKE THE LAST TIME. Terry: SIMON?
Simon: AVA, I MEAN -- LIKE I SAID WHEN WE FIRST MET, YOU'RE
GUTSY. THAT SONG, IT WAS MORE -- IT WAS
A STATEMENT. YOU KNOW, THE LYRICS IN THAT
SONG AFTER YOU TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED AND I CAN SAY THIS NOW
AS A PARENT, THE FACT THAT YOU'VE HAD THE STRENGTH TO COME
OUT HERE ON THE LIVE SHOWS AFTER THAT AUDITION, I THINK YOU'RE
REMARKABLE. THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
Terry: HOWIE? Howie: AS SIMON SAID, YOU ARE
GUTSY. IT'S HARD TO SHOW UP HERE ANYHOW
AND BE JUDGED AND BE ON THE NUMBER ONE TELEVISION SHOW IN
THE COUNTRY. YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF INSPIRING
THE ENTIRE WORLD. ONE WORD COMES TO MIND,
RESILIENT, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE.
Terry: AVA, HAVING GONE THROUGH SO MUCH, DO YOU HAVE ANY
ADVISE FOR ANYONE WHO MAY BE GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME RIGHT
NOW? YEAH.
STUFF'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN LIFE, BUT, IF YOU HAVE DREAMS, NO
MATTER HOW BIG THEY ARE, DON'T LET ANYTHING HOLD YOU BACK.
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, LOVE IS STRONGER THAN HATE.
Terry: BEAUTIFUL. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, AVA.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE AVA IN THE FINALS, YOU GOTTA VOTE.
GET ONLINE OR USE THE OFFICIAL "AGT" APP.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE APP STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY.
COMING UP, THE SENSATIONALLY FUNNY, PARMESAN LOVING
SINGER/SONGWRITER BEN LAPIDUS. FIND OUT IF HE'S GOT WHAT IT
TAKES TO MAKE THE FINALS RIGHT AFTER THIS.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: WHEN THE JUDGES WERE CHOOSING THE 55 ACTS TO MAKE IT
TO THE LIVE SHOWS, THEY PICKED 54, BUT THEY COULD NOT AGREE ON
THE LAST ACT. SO THEY DECIDED TO LET YOU AT
HOME CHOOSE THE ACT TO TAKE THAT LAST SPOT.
YOU VOTED AND I CAN FINALLY NOW REVEAL THE ACT YOU PICKED IS --
COMEDIAN JORDAN CONLEY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
CHECK OUT HIS REACTION WHEN I DELIVERED THE NEWS.
HEY. JORDAN, WHAT'S UP, MAN?
IT'S TERRY CREWS. CHECK IT OUT.
AMERICA PICKED YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
ARE YOU READY? I'VE BEEN READY ALL MY LIFE.
ALL RIGHT, BABY. GO CELEBRATE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: AND JORDAN WILL BE
HERE PERFORMING LIVE LATER IN THE SEASON.
OKAY. NEXT TONIGHT IS A GUY WHO HAD AN
UNUSUAL START TO HIS "AGT" JOURNEY.
HE GOT FOUR Xs AT THE AUDITIONS, BUT THE PEOPLE SPOKE.
THE AUDIENCE REBELLED AGAINST THE JUDGES AND THIS GUY GOT
EVERYBODY SINGING ALONG, INCLUDING SIMON COWELL.
FROM DOYLESTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, HERE'S BEN LAPIDUS.
* I ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN * MY FIRST AUDITION, I WAS
PLAYING MY SONG. PRETTY SOON IN I HEARD THE --
IT'S HARD TO KEEP GOING WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS.
BOOM, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AND AGAIN.
IT WAS HARD.
THEN THE POWER OF THE CROWD MADE THE JUDGES CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
NOW I'M THE FIRST ACT IN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" HISTORY
TO GET FOUR Xs AND MAKE IT TO THE LIVE SHOW.
BEFORE THE AUDITION AIRED, I WAS BEN.
NOW I'M THE PARMESAN GUY. I'VE BEEN BLOWN AWAY BY THE
SUPPORT. I AM SO THRILLED TO PERFORM
LIVE, BUT THE IDEA OF GETTING Xed AGAIN, I'M SCARED.
SO FOR THIS PERFORMANCE I KNOW I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY
SPECIAL. I'M GOING TO SHOW AMERICA THE
OTHER SIDE OF ME. I'VE BEEN WRITING SONGS SINCE I
WAS A KID. I'M READY TO SHARE SOMETHING
MORE SERIOUS AND SINCERE, CLOSE TO MY HEART.
AMERICA HEARD ME THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST HOPE THEY'LL HEAR ME
AGAIN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* SOMETIMES I FEEL SO HOPELESS THINKING OF THE THINGS THAT FEEL
SO WRONG IN THIS WORLD * * MY LIFE'S JUST A DROP IN THE
OCEAN * * THE WORLD IS MY OYSTER, BUT I
CAN'T FIND THE PEARL * SORRY.
SOMEONE TAKE THIS. I'M -- I'M THE PARMESAN CHEESE
GUY! EVERYONE ONE UP ON YOUR FEET.
LET'S GO. * SO THE NEXT TIME YOU GET PASTA
AND THE WAITER COMES AROUND WITH THE PARMESAN CHEESE AND HE SAYS
PARMESAN AND YOU SAY PLEASE * * DON'T LET HIM LEAVE UNTIL YOUR
PLATE OVERFLOWS * * IF HE SAYS SAY WHEN, YOU
SAY -- All: NO!
* I ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN * * I ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN *
EVERYBODY! * I ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN
BUT I'M EMBARRASSED * * I ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN
BUT I'M EMBARRASSED * EMBARRASSED, THAT'S EXACTLY
HOW THEY WANT US TO FEEL SO THEY CAN TAKE ALL THE CHEESE FOR
THEMSELVES. WELL GUESS WHAT, BIG PARMA?
WE'RE NOT EMBARRASSED ANYMORE. ARE WE?
WE WILL NOT REMAIN SILENT. WE WILL NOT GIVE IN.
WE WILL DIE BECAUSE WE LET BIG PARMA WIN.
* WE ARE NOT EMBARRASSED * * WE ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN *
* WE ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN *
* MORE PARMESAN * * WE ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN *
THE PEOPLE WANT MORE PARMESAN!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: BEN LAPIDUS!
HOWIE, WHY? OKAY.
HOWIE, WHY? Howie: LACTOSE INTOLERANT.
I'VE NEVER BEEN LACTOSE INTOLERANT, BUT HE MAKES ME
LACTOSE INTOLERANT. Terry: THE PEOPLE ARE
SPEAKING. HEIDI, YOU LOVED IT.
Heidi: I LOVE IT. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I THINK -- I THINK THAT YOU ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES.
THEY DON'T GET IT. BY THE WAY, THAT WAS NOTHING.
Terry: SOFIA? Sofia: BEN, YOU SEEM LIKE A
SUPER NICE GUY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU MADE
IT HERE. HOW?
HOW ARE YOU BACK HERE? Terry: SIMON, THE PLACE IS
GOING NUTS RIGHT NOW. IT'S PANDEMONIUM IN HERE.
BEN, TALK TO ME, MAN. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO GET
THE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR YOU? LISTEN, I THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE AREN'T STUPID. WE KNOW THE BIG PARMA
BUREAUCRATS HAVE INFILTRATED THE MEDIA, THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND
GOVERNMENT. Terry: NO BIG PARMA.
SIMON, TALK TO ME. HE'S SPEECHLESS.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, BEN. BEN IS COUNTING ON YOU.
TO VOTE FOR HIM OR ANY OF TONIGHT'S ACTS ONLINE, HEAD OVER
TO NBC.COM. VOTING IS OPEN NOW AND WILL
CLOSE AT 7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW.
GO MAKE IT HAPPEN. STILL TO COME TONIGHT, A CHOIR
OF PRO FOOTBALL PLAYERS GETS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES OF
THEIR CAREERS, MAKING THE "AGT" FINALS.
AND A BEAUTY QUEEN TURNED STAND-UP COMEDIAN LACE LARRABEE
GETS HER SHOT. STAY RIGHT THERE.
PARMESAN! PARMESAN!
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: THIS ACT FIRST STARTED APPEARING ON STAGES IN BEAUTY
PAGEANTS, BUT TONIGHT, SHE'S HERE TO SHOW HER REAL PASSION,
STAND-UP COMEDY. FROM MARIETTA, GEORGIA, SHE'S
LACE LARRABEE. AS A KID I ALWAYS WANTED TO
PERFORM. GROWING UP WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
MORE FAR AWAY FROM HOLLYWOOD THAN A TRAILER IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
I SIGNED UP FOR MY SCHOOL PAGEANT WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD.
MY MOM RENTED A DRESS FOR ME. IT WAS THE BEST THING I COULD DO
AT THE TIME TO CHASE MY DREAM OF BEING A COMEDIAN.
DOING COMEDY, THEY NEEDED AN ODD BALL IN THE PAGEANT WORLD.
EVERYBODY WAS LIKE WHY DON'T YOU PICK A REAL TALENT?
I KEPT SAYING THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR A LIVING AND IT
LED ME HERE. MY PARENTS WERE TEENAGERS WHEN
THEY HAD ME. THEY SACRIFICED SO MUCH TO TAKE
CARE OF MY SISTER AND I. I GUESS THAT'S A HUGE REASON
THAT I REALLY WANT TO IMPRESS THEM AND I REALLY WANT TO WORK
HARD AT MY CRAFT AND I DON'T WANT ALL THIS TIME AND ENERGY I
PUT INTO STAND-UP COMEDY TO BE A WASTE.
TONIGHT IS NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT MY SMILE OR WHATEVER DRESS I'M
WEARING. I'M MORE THAN THAT.
THIS IS A CULMINATION OF ALL MY EXPERIENCES.
I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS MOMENT MY ENTIRE LIFE.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET IT PASS ME BY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * DO YOUR HAIR TOSS, CHECK MY
NAILS * Announcer: WELCOME TO THE
STAGE, LACE LARRABEE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* HAIR TOSS, CHECK MY NAILS * * BABY HOW YOU DOING *
* FEELING GOOD AS HELL * HEY, WE ARE AT THE LIVE
SHOWS. THIS IS INSANITY.
Y'ALL, MY HUSBAND IS IN THE AUDIENCE.
LET'S TALK SOME TRASH ABOUT HIM. YOU READY?
I LOVE TELLING PEOPLE I MARRIED MY BEST FRIEND.
I SAY IT ALL THE TIME. I MARRIED MY BEST FRIEND.
I DON'T MEAN IT. I SAY IT.
I LOVE MY GUY. I WOULD CALL HIM MY SOUL MATE,
OR THE FIRST ONE WHOEVER ASKED. ONE OF THOSE.
WHEN WE WERE DATING, I WOULD FANTASIZE ABOUT THE PROPOSAL AND
WHAT THAT DREAM RING WOULD LOOK LIKE, AND, Y'ALL, I'M STILL
FANTASIZING. EXACTLY.
THERE'S A DIAMOND IN THERE. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID IT WAS.
SO WE'LL GO WITH THAT. GUYS GET BOTHERED WHEN I SAY
THAT. I SAID THAT ON STAGE THE OTHER
NIGHT AND A GUY YELLED, HEY, HE WORKED HARD.
I WAS LIKE HE COULD HAVE WORKED HARDER, BUD.
HE'S JUST NOT GOOD AT JEWELRY AND THAT'S MY FAULT BECAUSE I
DID MENTION THAT'S MY FAULT BECAUSE I DID MENTION EQUIPMENT
A PROUD FEMINIST TOO MANY TIMES. HE SAID, I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T
LIKE DIAMONDS, AND I WAS LIKE NOT THAT KIND OF FEMINIST.
IT'S NOT A MONEY ISSUE EITHER. HE'S GREAT AT SPENDING MONEY ON
THINGS HE'S INTO. I JUST WRONGLY THOUGHT THAT WAS
ME. SO FAR HE'S SPENT HIS MONEY ON A
FLEET OF MOUNTAIN BIKES. HOW MANY IS IN A FLEET YOU ASK.
PUT IT THIS WAY, EVERY TIME I WALK INTO THE GARAGE I SEE SIX
BETTER ENGAGEMENT RINGS WITH HANDLE BARS.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE KIDS YET BECAUSE WE HAVE
BICYCLES INSTEAD. I'M READY TO BE A MOM.
I THINK I WOULD BE GREAT AT IT, MAINLY BECAUSE I'VE RAISED A LOT
OF MEN. ALL MY GIRLFRIENDS ARE MOMS NOW,
THOUGH, AND IT'S WEIRD. BECAUSE I KNOW THESE WOMEN.
I USED TO PARTY WITH THESE WOMEN IN OUR 20s.
I REMEMBER WHEN THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THINGS LIKE -- TOMORROW.
BACK THEN, WE JUST WENT OUT, WE HAD NO RULES.
DRANK EVERYTHING WE CAN CAME IN CONTACT WITH.
DIDN'T EVEN DO THE PREDRINKING RHYME BEER BEFORE LIQUOR GETS
YOU SICKER -- SIMON, YOU KNOW THE REST.
WE JUST DRANK WHATEVER CHAD'S BUYING AT THE BAR.
NOW THAT WE'RE IN OUR 30s WHEN WE GO OUT FOR GIRLS' NIGHT IT'S
DIFFERENT. BETH HAS TO USE AN APP ON HER
PHONE TO FIND OUT WHICH WINE ON THE MENU IS GLUTEN FREE.
MEG'S GOTTA KEEP A TIMER ON TO SEE HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE SHE
PUMPED. CAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GET
THE BABY DRUNK AGAIN. SHE HATES FUN I GUESS.
THEN MORGAN TRIES TO ORDER FOR THE WHOLE TABLE BECAUSE SHE'S
BEEN TO A WINERY RECENTLY SO NOW SHE KNOWS WINE.
SHE'S LIKE, EXCUSE ME. [ BUZZER ]
SHE'S LIKE EXCUSE ME. SHE'S LIKE, EXCUSE ME, HI.
WE'VE GOT FIVE LADIES HERE. WE'RE GONNA SPLIT ONE BOTTLE OF
TEMPRANILLO. I'M IN THE BACK LIKE, NO.
WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS I'M GONNA FINISH DRINKING THIS PURSE
VODKA. THEN I'M GONNA NEED MY OWN
BOTTLE OF WINE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH YOU
LIARS. I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
NEXT STAGE IN OUR FRIENDSHIP WHEN WE'RE ALL IN OUR 40s AND
WE'LL BE DIVORCED AND BACK TO BEING DRUNKEN FLOOZIES AGAIN.
THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: LACE LARRABEE!
HEIDI? Heidi: I LIKE YOU.
I DO. I THINK YOU ARE A LITTLE
SOUTHERN BELL WITH A LITTLE SOUTHERN COMFORT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CONTINUED DOING THIS WITH THIS X WITH
SIMON. I GOT STARTLED.
YOU JUST KEPT ON GOING. I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT.
YOU'RE LIKABLE. HEY, IF YOU WIN THAT MILLION
DOLLARS, MAYBE YOU CAN GET A BETTER DIAMOND.
Terry: SIMON, WHAT'S THE ISSUE?
Heidi: WHAT'S THE ISSUE, MAN? Simon: I ACTUALLY DID THAT,
LACE, TO HELP YOU BECAUSE IT WAS GOING DOWNHILL.
THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING FOR ME.
IT WAS LIKE -- IT FELT -- OH, SHUT UP.
IT FELT REALLY ALMOST REHEARSED RATHER THAN SPONTANEOUS.
YOU WERE MUCH FUNNIER, IN MY OPINION, ON YOUR FIRST AUDITION.
I JUST DIDN'T FIND IT THAT FUNNY I'M AFRAID.
Terry: HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Howie: COMEDY AND HUMOR IS SUBJECTIVE.
I THINK YOU HAVE GREAT STAGE PRESENCE.
YOU HAVE A GREAT DELIVERY. YOUR FIRST SET YOU DID AT THE
AUDITION WAS VERY RELATABLE TO A WIDER AUDIENCE.
I THINK THAT LADIES, PARTICULARLY LADIES, WOULD HAVE
RELATED MORE TO -- I THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO SIMON.
THERE WASN'T STUFF THAT HE COULD RELATE TO.
I DID SAY THERE'S USUALLY A MAN IN THE AUDIENCE AND YELLS
OUT AND INTERRUPTS ME, SO I'M NOT SURPRISED.
Terry: SOFIA? Simon: NOW THAT WAS FUNNY.
Sofia: I THOUGHT YOUR FIRST AUDITION WAS SO, SO PERFECT.
IT WAS GOING TO BE HARD FOR YOU TO COME WITH SOMETHING THAT WAS
MORE SPECTACULAR THAN THAT. I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED THIS
TIME. I LIKED IT THE FIRST ONE, BUT I
STILL THINK YOU'RE IN THE RACE. I THINK PEOPLE LOVE YOU.
Terry: I AGREE. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, LACE.
LISTEN, LACE NEEDS YOUR VOTES. REMEMBER, ONLY TWO ACTS CAN GO
THROUGH TO THE FINALS. VOTING WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL 7:00
A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW. SO GET ON IT.
COMING UP, ONE OF THE HOTTEST NEW COUNTRY SINGERS, DRAKE
MILLIGAN. FIND OUT IF HE'S GOT WHAT IT
TAKES TO MAKE THE FINALS RIGHT AFTER THIS.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: WHEN THIS SINGER STEPPED OUT AT THE AUDITION, I'M
GUESSING HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO HIS LIFE.
THAT WAS JUST THE START OF THIS GUY'S RIDE.
FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, HERE'S DRAKE MILLIGAN.
I USED TO WATCH THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW AND I SEE THIS ON
THE SAME SCALE. Howie: YOU'RE LIKE THE NEW
ELVIS OF COUNTRY. CONGRATULATIONS.
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT HAPPENED AFTER MY AUDITION
AIRED. LAST NIGHT "AGT" CONTESTANT
DRAKE MILLIGAN MOVED TO THE TOP OF THE iTUNES COUNTRY MUSIC
CHART. I WAS LIKE THIS IS AMAZING.
I GOT A TASTE OF THAT AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO WIN EVEN MORE.
I GREW UP BEING A BIG ELVIS FAN. I REALLY WANTED TO DEVELOP MY
OWN STYLE AND SING MY OWN SONGS. I'VE BEEN PAYING MY DUES,
PLAYING HONKY TONKS WITH 15 PEOPLE IN THERE.
BEING ON THE LIVE SHOWS ON "AGT," I'M SO GRATEFUL.
I CAN PLAY THOSE HUGE SHOWS AND MAKE BIG RECORDS.
I'M GOING TO BE DOING ANOTHER ORIGINAL SONG CALLED "KISS
GOOD-BYE TONIGHT." THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE.
HOPEFULLY THE JUDGES AND ALL OF AMERICA ENJOYS IT BECAUSE THIS
IS MY BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT CAREER IN COUNTRY
MUSIC I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID.

* HEY BABY WOULD YOU LOOK AT US *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: DRAKE MILLIGAN!
WHOA! SOFIA?
THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET. Sofia: DRAKE, IT WAS -- I
MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE A THING.
YOUR SONGS ARE LIKE THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING ON THE RADIO FOR YEARS.
YOU ARE AMAZING. YOU'RE THE WHOLE PACKAGE.
I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE -- I THINK YOU ARE A STAR.
Terry: HOWIE, ARE YOU A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY?
Howie: I'M A LITTLE BIT JEW. YOU KNOW WHAT, HERE'S WHAT I
WANT TO SAY TO YOU. FIRST OF ALL, I PREDICT THAT
SONG WILL BE NUMBER ONE ON THE COUNTRY CHART AGAIN.
I PROMISE YOU. I AGREE WITH SOFIA.
YOU'RE ALREADY A STAR. THE SONG IS GREAT.
THE MUSIC IS GREAT. THE PERFORMANCE IS GREAT.
YOUR LOOKS ARE GREAT. YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF
WINNING THIS WHOLE THING. ONLY TWO PEOPLE TONIGHT, YOU'LL
BE ONE OF THEM. Terry: HEIDI?
Heidi: WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE? PEOPLE TALK ABOUT STAR POWER, IT
FACTOR, YOU GOT IT SPRINKLED ALL OVER YOU.
Terry: SIMON? Simon: I HAVE TO SAY
SOMETHING. A LOT OF PEOPLE AFTER PERFORMING
ON THE AUDITION AND THEIR SONG GOES TO NUMBER ONE, THEY WOULD
JUST WALK AND NOT COMPETE. THE FACT THAT THAT HAPPENED AND
YOU STILL COME BACK TO COMPETE IN THIS COMPETITION IS
ABSOLUTELY -- I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
IN MY OPINION, I THINK YOU'RE THE REAL DEAL.
YOU'RE A GREAT SONGWRITER. YOU HAVE CHARISMA.
I'M KIND OF WITH HOWIE HERE. BASED ON TONIGHT, LET'S FORGET
THE CHEESE THING, THIS IS, IN MY OPINION, THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF
THE NIGHT. Terry: NOW, DRAKE, LISTEN,
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE THIS PACKED HOUSE ON THEIR FEET HERE
AT THE "AGT" LIVE SHOW? I FEEL RIGHT AT HOME.
IT'S AWESOME.
IT'S SO COOL. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
DRAKE. REMEMBER, ALL OF TONIGHT'S ACTS
ARE DEPENDING ON YOU, SO YOU GOTTA VOTE.
TO VOTE ONLINE, GO TO NBC.COM. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
** Terry: COMING UP --
Howie: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. YOU WERE SCARY, DRAMATIC.
I LOVED IT. Simon: SHOWMANSHIP,
ORIGINALITY. IT WAS A TEN.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: TOMORROW NIGHT IS A BIG, BIG NIGHT.
YOUR VOTES WILL PUT TWO OF THIS WEEK'S ACTS STRAIGHT INTO THE
FINALS AND THAT MEANS NINE ACTS WILL BE LEAVING THE COMPETITION.
IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE RESULTS SHOWS WE'VE EVER
HAD, AND I CANNOT WAIT. AND CHECK THIS, LAST YEAR'S
"AGT" CHAMPION IS MAKING A TRIUMPHANT RETURN.
YEP, THE INCREDIBLE DUSTIN TAVELLA WILL BE HERE WITH AN
AMAZING PERFORMANCE. THAT'S ALL TOMORROW AT 8/7
CENTRAL. WHEN HEIDI SAYS, THAT CAN'T BE
GOOD FOR YOUR GROIN, YOU KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING PRETTY WEIRD
GOING ON STAGE. THIS ACT IS MIND BLOWING, BODY
BENDING AND IT IS OFF THE CHARTS.
FROM UKRAINE, HERE IS OLEKSANDR YENIVATOV.
WHEN I PERFORM ON STAGE, YOU SEE MANY DIFFERENT FACES, BUT
UNDERNEATH MY CAP I'M A PROUD UKRAINIAN.
I GROW UP IN UKRAINE. AS A CHILD THERE, I LOVED TO
WATCH BRUCE LEE AND JACKIE CHAN MOVIES.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH PERFORMING. I TRAINED MY BODY TO MOVE IN
IMPOSSIBLE WAYS. Sofia: OH!
Terry: OH! I NEVER DREAMT ONE DAY MY
TALENT WOULD BRING ME AND MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE TO AMERICA.
Howie: WHERE ARE YOU GUYS FROM?
I'M UKRAINIAN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Simon: I'M GOING TO TAKE MY X
AWAY. THEN SIMON TOOK BACK HIS X TO
HONOR THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE. WE FELT SO MUCH COMPASSION.
TONIGHT I PERFORM FOR PEACE AND I PERFORM FOR THE PEOPLE OF
UKRAINE.
** **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: OLEKSANDR YENIVATOV! WOW.
SOFIA, DID THAT TWIST UP YOUR MIND *
Sofia: YES. IT'S HORRIBLE.
IT'S WEIRD. IT'S DISTURBING AND IT'S
FASCINATING AT THE SAME TIME. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A HUMAN
BODY CAN DO THIS KIND OF THING. Terry: SIMON, WHAT DID YOU
THINK? Simon: WELL, I DIDN'T LIKE
THE AUDITION VERY MUCH, BUT TONIGHT I LOVE YOU.
Terry: YES! Simon: BOTH OF YOU ARE REALLY
NICE PEOPLE AND WE GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
IT WAS A BIT AWKWARD WHEN WE FIRST MET.
WHAT I LOVED ABOUT TONIGHT WAS IS YOU REALLY PUSHED YOURSELF
AND DID THINGS WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
FOR ME THAT IS WHAT A LIVE SHOW PERFORMANCE IS ALL ABOUT,
SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND YOU'LL TALK ABOUT.
REALLY GREAT. Terry: HEIDI?
Heidi: I CAN'T BELIEVE HALF OF THE STUFF I'M SEEING.
IT'S INCREDIBLE. YOU'RE LIKE THE HUMAN
NUTCRACKER. Howie: LITERALLY.
Heidi: FACING FORWARD, BACKWARDS AT THE SAME TIME.
IT'S INSANE. IT'S SO BIZARRE.
IT'S SO STRANGE. I WANT TO SEE MORE ODDLY.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, OLEKSANDR.
DO YOU WANT TO SEE OLEKSANDR IN THE FINALS?
THEN VOTE. VOTING IS OPEN NOW AND WILL STAY
OPEN UNTIL 7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW.
YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR EACH ACT WITH EACH VOTING
METHOD. SO USE YOUR VOTING POWER.
COMING UP, WE GOT FOOTBALL PLAYERS SINGING AND AN ENGINEER
WHO'S GONNA GET YOU LAUGHING. THEY'RE ALL HOPING TO MAKE THE
FINALS. DO NOT MOVE.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: NEXT UP, WE'VE GOT 15 PRO BALLERS.
BUT THE GREATEST SCORE THEY CAN MAKE TONIGHT IS A SPOT IN THE
SEASON FINALS. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO GET THERE?
THEY ARE GOING TO SING. CHECK OUT THE PLAYERS CHOIR.
TO BE AN NFL PLAYER TAKES DRIVE, GRIT, SACRIFICE AND THAT
COMPETITIVE SPIRIT. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING IN
THAT LOCKER ROOM. WE SPEND YEARS WITH THESE PEOPLE
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STOPS.
THIS CHOIR GIVES US SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF US MISS AFTER WE
LEAVE THE GAME, THE BROTHERHOOD, THE COMRADERY.
WE'RE NATURALLY TAUGHT TO COME TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
WE WANTED AN OUTLET FOR OUR MUSIC.
GUYS SENT US MELANIE FEW. PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR ABOUT
IT, THEY DON'T REALIZE THEY'RE GUYS IN THE NFL WHO HAVE
BEAUTIFUL VOICES. I WANTED TO HEAR THAT WITHOUT
THE TRACK. WHEN SIMON ASKED US TO SING
ACAPELLA, I KNOW I WAS NERVOUS. * LEAN ON ME WHEN YOU'RE NOT
STRONG * Simon: 3,000 YESES.
THIS TIME AROUND WE WANT TO SHOW VERSATILITY AND MOVE AND
KEEP THE ENERGY HIGH. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME
OPPORTUNITY. BY THE TIME WE HIT THE STAGE,
IT'S LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION. THIS STAGE IS OUR SUPER BOWL.
WE WANT A RING. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* I'VE GOT THIS FEELING INSIDE MY BONES *
* GOES ELECTRIC WHEN I TURN IT ON *
* ALL THROUGH MY CITY, ALL THROUGH MY HOME *
* FLYING HIGH * * NO CEILING MEANS WE'RE IN OUR
ZONE * * GOT THAT SUNSHINE IN MY
POCKET * * GOT THAT GOOD SOUL IN MY
FEET * * WHEN IT DROPS, I CAN'T TAKE MY
EYES OFF IT * * MOVING SO PHENOMENALLY *
* DON'T STOP * * INTO THE NIGHT WHEN EVERYTHING
GOES NOWHERE TO HIDE WHEN I'M GETTING YOU CLOSE *
* WHEN YOU MOVE, YOU ALREADY KNOW *
* IT'S THE MAGIC * * IT'S THE MAGIC *
* NOTHING I CAN SEE BUT YOU WHEN YOU DANCE, DANCE, DANCE *
* JUST DANCE, DANCE, DANCE * * ALL THOSE THINGS I SHOULDN'T
DO WHEN YOU DANCE, DANCE, DANCE *
* KEEP DANCING * * CAN'T STOP THE FEELING *
* DANCE, DANCE, DANCE * * CAN'T STOP THE FEELING *
* BREAK IT DOWN * * CAN'T STOP, CAN'T STOP *
* CAN'T STOP, CAN'T STOP *
* NOTHING I CAN SEE BUT YOU WHEN
YOU DANCE, DANCE, DANCE * * CREEPING UP ON YOU SO JUST
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE * * ALL THOSE THINGS I SHOULDN'T
DO WHEN YOU DANCE, DANCE, DANCE *
* KEEP DANCING * * GOT THIS FEELING IN MY BODY *
* CAN'T STOP THIS FEELING * COME ON, LET'S ROCK!
* GOT THIS FEELING IN MY BODY * * CAN'T STOP THE FEELING *
* GOT THIS FEELING IN MY BODY * COME ON, COME ON, LET'S GO!
* GOT THIS FEELING IN MY BODY * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: THE PLAYERS CHOIR! YES, THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET.
SIMON, YOU LOVED IT. YES!
LOOK AT THIS. HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Howie: HERE'S WHAT I SAY, AND THIS AUDIENCE IS SAYING IT.
I HOPE THE PEOPLE AT HOME FEEL IT.
LISTENING TO YOU -- I'M NOT A FAN OF CHOIRS, BUT YOU MAKE US
FEEL GOOD. YOU MAKE US SMILE.
YOU MAKE US BOP TO THE MUSIC. IT WASN'T PART OF YOUR PACKAGE.
I KNOW YOU'VE HAD A VERY TRYING WEEK.
I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH WEEK.
I KNOW WHO YOU PEOPLE ARE. I DO A LITTLE RESEARCH.
YOU DO GREAT THINGS FOR YOUR CITY, FOR YOUR PEOPLE, FOR YOUR
CULTURE. YOU'RE VERY CHARITABLE.
YOU'RE GOOD. YOU PUT A SMILE ON OUR FACE.
THE WORLD NEEDS NOTHING MORE THAN A SMILE RIGHT NOW AND YOU
DELIVERED IT. Terry: HEIDI?
Heidi: REALLY ONLY ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" YOU GET
TO SEE FOOTBALL STARS DANCING AND SINGING.
I THINK IT WAS A SONG FROM THE "TROLLS" MOVIE, RIGHT?
IT'S THE CUTEST. GOOD VIBES.
ONLY GOOD VIBES. Simon: TERRY, CAN I SAY
SOMETHING? Terry: YES, YOU CAN.
YOU WERE ON YOUR FEET. Simon: I LOVE BEING
SURPRISED. WE JUDGE THESE AUDITIONS -- NOT
AUDITIONS, PERFORMANCES, ON HOW IT MAKES US FEEL.
I FELT AMAZING AFTER THAT. PLEASE, PLEASE, AMERICA, PICK UP
THE PHONE AND VOTE THEM THROUGH TO THE FINALS.
WE NEED YOU. Terry: YES!
GOOD LUCK, GENTLEMEN. REMEMBER, A SPOT IN THE FINALS
IS AT STAKE HERE. SO VOTE, VOTE AND VOTE AGAIN.
TO VOTE ONLINE GO TO NBC.COM. AFTER THE BREAK, TWO SENSATIONAL
DANCERS FROM COLOMBIA HOPE THEY CAN MAKE THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE
RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA. STAY RIGHT THERE.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: IF YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT HERE IN THIS THEATER
WATCHING THE SHOW, YOU CAN. THERE ARE STILL A FEW TICKETS
LEFT. GO TO NBC.COM/AGT AND MAKE IT
HAPPEN. NOW, AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE
COMING HERE TO LIVE THEIR DREAM. AND HERE ARE TWO DANCERS WHO ARE
HOPING THEIR DREAM WILL COME TRUE RIGHT HERE ON "AGT."
FROM COLOMBIA MEET STEFANNY AND YEREMY.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
** **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: STEFANNY AND YEREMY. SOFIA?
Sofia: I MEAN, I THOUGHT IT WAS SPECTACULAR.
I THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECTION. YOU GUYS CAME TO THE RIGHT
PLACE. THE PEOPLE ARE LOVING YOU.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Terry: SIMON, WHAT'S THE
PROBLEM? [ AUDIENCE BOOS ]
Simon: I AM A BIT LOCO. THE REASON I PRESSED THE BUZZER
IS I FELT THE ACT NEEDED A TRANSITION MIDWAY THROUGH.
IT JUST -- IT FELT VERY LIKE THAT THE WHOLE THING.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Sofia: THEY WANTED TO SHOW
LATIN PEOPLE CAN DO A LOT MORE THINGS.
Simon: I THINK YOU'RE AMAZING TALENTED.
I WAS FRUSTRATED. TO GET THROUGH TO THE FINAL YOU
GOT TO DO SOMETHING SPECTACULAR ON THE FINAL WHICH MEANT DOING
SOMETHING DIFFERENT AT THE END. THAT'S WHY.
YOU ARE VERY TALENTED. Terry: STEFANNY AND YEREMY,
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. LISTEN, EVERY VOTE COUNTS, SO
GET BUSY. THIS IS FOR THE FINALS.
YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR EACH ACT WITH EACH VOTING
METHOD. SO GET TO IT.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: COMING UP -- I'M NOT A GEEK.
I'M A NERD. I HAVE A DIAGRAM TO SHOW YOU THE
DIFFERENCE. Simon: IT'S IN YOUR BLOOD.
THIS IS YOUR DESTINY. Terry: I GOT YOU.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: AT THE START OF THIS ACT'S AUDITION SIMON SAID I
CAN'T DEAL WITH ANYMORE COMEDIANS.
BY THE END OF THE ACT, SIMON HADN'T CHANGED HIS MIND, BUT THE
OTHER THREE JUDGES WERE BLOWN AWAY.
FROM SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, HERE'S MORE ON DON McMILLAN.
I WAS FOR MANY YEARS AN ENGINEER.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. IT DIDN'T FILL MY SOUL.
THEN I DID STAND UP. I'M THE BLUE DOT.
THE MINUTE I GET ALL MY CLOTHES OFF 12 GUYS WALK IN.
IN THE FIRST AUDITION, I COULD TELL SIMON WAS GRUMPY.
THIS REACTION IS WHAT I NEED TO FOCUS ON.
I'M GOING TO WIN HIM OVER. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG
TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PEOPLE
THAT CAUGHT ME TO THIS POINT. MY WIFE, MY SON, MY MOM AND DAD,
I HOPE I MAKE THEM PROUD. I WISHED I COULD DO THIS
FOREVER. I'M NOT A SPRING CHICKEN
ANYMORE. AS A COMEDIAN, YOU HAVE TO STAND
APART BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL FABULOUS.
THIS IS MY CHANCE TO ESTABLISH MYSELF AS A NATIONAL COMEDIAN.
THAT'S THE DREAM, TO MAKE AS MANY PEOPLE LAUGH AS I CAN.
WHEN I'M PERFORMING, I'M GIVING TO THE WORLD AND IT'S GIVING
BACK TO ME. THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE TO DO IT
FOR AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN. * IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE *
OH, YES!
YOU LIKE MY MOVES? YOU LIKE MY MOVES?
YES. I CALL THAT DANCE LIKE AN
ENGINEER, BABY. YES.
BY THE WAY, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE.
AS A COMIC, IT'S AN HONOR TO BE ON THIS STAGE, JUDGES,
EVERYBODY. TONIGHT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT
ENGINEERS. HOW DO WE THINK.
WE ALWAYS SEE A BETTER WAY. CARPOOL LANES FOR EXAMPLE, GOOD
IDEA. WHAT A BETTER IDEA?
CELL PHONE LANES. IF YOU'RE ON YOUR CAR AND YOU'RE
TALKING GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR, YOU GOT TO GET IN THE RIGHT-HAND
LANE. OR HERE'S ANOTHER IDEA, WE ALLOT
THE LANES BY MINIMUM SPEED -- 55, 65, 75, 85 AND THEN GO FOR
IT IN THE LEFT LANE. YES.
WE CAN EVEN MAKE IT FUN. WE'LL POST A HIGH SCORE AND THEN
YOUR INITIALS. I THINK THAT WOULD BE COOL.
SOMETIMES I IMMEDIATELY SEE A BETTER WAY.
I WALKED BY THIS SIGN THE OTHER DAY OPTOMETRY CENTER.
GOOD SIGN. WANT TO SEE A BETTER SIGN?
THAT IS A BETTER SIGN. IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT, LET ME
SHOW IT TO YOU AGAIN. GOOD SIGN.
FAR SUPERIOR SIGN. THE WALK-YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ALONE
IS GOING TO TRIPLE. IS THE WORLD BETTER TODAY?
THEY DID A SURVEY. LOOK AT THIS SURVEY.
THEY ASKED PEOPLE, WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU GET
OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING? 35% OF PEOPLE CHECK TEXTS.
23% READ EMAIL. REMEMBER THOSE DAYS?
GO AHEAD. REMEMBER THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS
WHEN WE HAD TIME TO PEE IN THE MORNING?
AH, THAT WAS NICE. THEY WERE GLORIOUS DAYS.
BY THE WAY, 3% OF PEOPLE WOULD SAY, I CHANGED THE SHEETS
BECAUSE I PEED IN THEM. THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER OPTION.
JUST TWO OPTIONS. THESE ARE MY TECH PEEVES.
THESE ARE THE THINGS IN TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKE ME MAD.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM. FIRST OFF, WHY IS PRINTER INK SO
DARN EXPENSIVE? WHY?
I FOUND THIS CHART. STANDARD BLACK INK IS 70 CENTS
PER MILLILITER. THAT WORKS OUT TO $16,218 A
GALLON. THAT'S INSANE.
DO NOT PAINT YOUR HOUSE IN PRINTER INK.
LET'S COMPARE THIS TO OTHER LIQUIDS.
HUMAN BLOOD IS 38 CENTS PER MILLILITER.
THE ESSENCE OF HUMAN LIFE IS CHEAPER THAN PRINTER INK.
HOW WRONG IS THAT? COBRA VENOM IS CHEAPER.
CRUDE OIL IS A TENTH OF A CENT PER MILLILITER.
THEY HAVE TO DRILL A MILE INTO THE GROUND TO GET OIL.
WHERE ARE THEY GETTING PRINTER INK -- THE CORE OF THE EARTH?
WHERE IS IT COMING FROM? I FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO.
FORGET IT. FROM NOW ON I AM PRINTING IN
BLOOD. THAT'S WHAT I DO.
I'VE GOT AN IV RIGHT FROM MY ARM, RIGHT TO THE BACK OF MY
PRINTER. I PRINT A BIG DOCUMENT, I GET
WOOZY. I DON'T CARE.
I'M SAVING A TON OF MONEY. AND I'VE GOT THREE CARTRIDGES --
A, B AND O. THAT'S ALL I NEED.
OH, YOU GUYS ARE NICE. ONE MORE.
I GOT TO GET TO MY LAST JOKE.
FINALLY, I'M ALL FOR SECURITY, BUT COME ON.
TYPE THE LETTERS YOU SEE INTO THE BOX.
I DON'T SEE ANY LETTERS. DO YOU SEE ANY LETTERS?
I'VE BEEN READING MOST OF MY LIFE.
I DO NOT SEE ANY LETTERS. WHAT IS THAT?
NO, NO, NO! THAT'S INSANE.
IF YOU'RE DRUNK, YOU CAN GET RIGHT INTO THIS ACCOUNT.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE. IS THAT A RORSCHACH TEST?
AND THIS IS WHERE AN AD POPS UP, HAVING TROUBLE READING LETTERS?
YES. THAT'S IT FOR ME.
THANK YOU FOR THAT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: HOWIE, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET.
YOU LOVE IT. Howie: I THINK YOU'RE FUNNY,
UNIQUE. I THINK YOU ARE ALREADY A
NATIONAL TREASURE. I'M SO THRILLED YOU'RE ON THIS
SHOW. I HOPE THAT YOU'RE ONE OF THE
ONLY TWO THAT GETS VOTED THROUGH.
PLEASE, AMERICA, WE NEED COMEDY LIKE THIS.
Terry: SIMON, DID THAT WIN YOU OVER?
Simon: I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY DIDN'T LIKE YOUR AUDITION.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE CRAZY PUTTING YOU THROUGH TO THE LIVE
SHOW. YOU KNOW WHAT, I WAS WRONG.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: YES!
Simon: BECAUSE THAT WAS REALLY CLEVER.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A FINAL PERFORMANCE.
THAT WAS BRILLIANT. Heidi: I ENJOYED IT, BUT I
ENJOYED HEARING MORE YOU SAYING YOU WERE WRONG.
I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. YOU'RE HAVING THE BEST TIME.
I CAN NEVER READ THOSE THINGS EITHER.
Sofia: I THINK YOUR COMEDY IS WEIRD, UNIQUE AND AMAZING.
Terry: GOOD LUCK, DON. SO DO YOU WANT TO SEE DON IN THE
FINALS? THEN YOU HAVE TO VOTE.
GET ONLINE AT NBC.COM OR USE THE "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT'S" APP.
THIS IS FOR THE FINALS. OKAY.
OUR LAST ACT IS MY GOLDEN BUZZER.
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD FOR HIM, BUT TONIGHT HE COULD MAKE IT TO
THE FINALS. IT'S AVERY DIXON WHEN WE COME
BACK. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: OUR LAST ACT TONIGHT
IS MY GOLDEN BUZZER. HE'S BEEN BULLIED AT SCHOOL.
PEOPLE HAVE CALLED THE COPS ON HIM FOR PRACTICING, AND HE
DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO AUDITION.
BUT HIS MOM KNEW BETTER AND HE HAD THE WHOLE THEATER IN TEARS.
FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA, HERE'S AVERY DIXON.
I WAS BORN PREMATURE. I WAS 1 POUND, 8 OUNCES AND THE
DOCTORS ACTUALLY HAD TO HELP ME BREATHE THROUGH A MACHINE.
HIS LUNGS WEREN'T FULLY DEVELOPED AND HE HAD A HOLE IN
HIS VOCAL CORD. IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I WAS
BULLIED FOR BEING SMALL AND FOR MY VOICE.
HE WAS TORN DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE HE DIDN'T BELIEVE HE
SHOULD BE ON THIS EARTH ANYMORE. IT WAS HARD BECAUSE I
COULDN'T REALLY TALK BACK. THAT'S HOW I DISCOVERED THE
SAXOPHONE. I STARTED OUT JUST MAKING NOISE,
BUT I LOVED IT. IT FELT GOOD NOT JUST TO MAKE
NOISE, BUT TO CHANGE NOISE. EVERY BUTTON ON THIS MAKES A
SOUND OF ITS OWN. IT'S MY OUTLET FOR ALL MY
EMOTIONS. IT'S MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY
WORDS I'VE SPOKEN. Heidi: YOU PLAY WITH YOUR
HEART AND WE FEEL IT. I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOOD
ENOUGH TO BE ON THE "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT'S" STAGE.
HEARING TERRY SAY THOSE BULLIES WILL HAVE TO WATCH --
Terry: YOU SUCCEED, MY FRIEND.
WHEN YOU HEAR THE CROWD, IT'S LIKE IT'S WASHING OFF THAT
DOUBT, WALKING YOU TOWARDS YOUR DREAMS.
NOW I KNOW I DO BELONG. THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE WILL BE
WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH. THIS TIME THE BULLIES WON'T WIN.
IT'S MY SOUL SONG.
** **
* **

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: AVERY DIXON, MY GOLDEN
BUZZER. SIMON?
Simon: AVERY, I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING GENUINELY.
I KNOW WE SAY A LOT OF YOU'RE GONNA BE A STAR ET CETERA.
I PROMISE YOU, AVERY, SINCE THE TIME WE FIRST MET YOU UNTIL NOW
SOMETHING HAS CHANGED. I'M GOING TO PREDICT SOMETHING.
I SAID THIS ABOUT CARRIE UNDERWOOD YEARS AGO ON ANOTHER
SHOW, WHICH IS YOU'RE GONNA BE A SUPERSTAR.
I PROMISE YOU, AVERY. EVERYTHING YOU DREAMED OF, I
ACTUALLY BELIEVE IS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THIS IS SO
DIFFERENT FROM -- YOU WERE GREAT THE FIRST TIME.
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. YOUR CONFIDENCE, YOUR TALENT,
EVERYTHING IS BRILLIANT. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
Terry: SOFIA? Sofia: THIS HAS BEEN AN
AMAZING NIGHT AND TO FINISH WITH YOU IS SPECTACULAR.
THE WAY YOU LOOK, THE WAY YOU SOUND, I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING
BETTER THAT YOU CAN DO. Terry: HEIDI?
Heidi: I LOVE YOU. AMERICA, LET'S BRING THIS KIND
OF MUSIC BACK. VOTE FOR HIM.
I LOVE YOU.
Terry: HOWIE? Howie: THE FIRST TIME WE
HEARD YOU YOU WERE A STAR. YOU SHINED.
WATCHING YOU TONIGHT, YOU HAVE GROWN BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.
YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR. YOU'RE A DIFFERENT PERSON,
AVERY. I LOVE YOU.
AMERICA LOVES YOU. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
AVERY. AVERY NEEDS YOUR VOTES.
GET ONLINE OR USE THE APP. VOTING WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL 7:00
A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW. SO NOW IT'S OVER TO YOU, AND
THIS IS GONNA BE TOUGHER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN BEFORE BECAUSE
ONLY TWO ACTS CAN GO INTO THE FINALS.
FIND OUT WHO'S IN THE FINALS TOMORROW NIGHT.
WE HAVE DUSTIN TAVELLA HERE. 8/7 CENTRAL.
STAY TUNED FOR THE PREMIERE OF "PASSWORD" NEXT.
I'M TERRY CREWS. GOOD NIGHT, AMERICA.
