Simon: I AM SO HAPPY!
Terry: WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S FIGHT FOR THE FINALS!
' [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S FIGHT FOR THE FINALS!
TONIGHT, 11 MORE ACTS WILL BE WALKING ONTO THIS STAGE.
TOMORROW NIGHT, TWO OF THEM WILL BE WALKING OFF IT WITH A SPOT IN
THE SEASON FINALS. THEY'RE ALL HERE BECAUSE ONE
DAY, HOWEVER LONG AGO, THEY THOUGHT, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WANT TO CHANGE MY LIFE. I WANT TO LIVE MY PASSION.
IT WON'T BE EASY TONIGHT. THEY HAVE TO IMPRESS THE BEST
AUDIENCE IN THE WORLD -- YOU AT HOME.
RIGHT NOW, CHECK OUT THESE FOUR HAPPY, SMILING FACES.
GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR "AGT" JUDGES!
HOWIE MANDEL, HEIDI KLUM,
SOFIA VERGARA, AND SIMON COWELL!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] IT'S 11 ACTS FOR JUST TWO SPOTS
IN THE FINALS.
WHO'S READY TO SEE SOME TALENT? Terry: THE TECHNOLOGY AND
ARTISTRY IN THIS ACT HAS TAKEN 12 YEARS TO DEVELOP.
BUT JUST 24 HOURS AGO, THE TECHNOLOGY BROKE DOWN.
AND A RACE TO FIX IT WAS ON. FROM JAPAN, HERE'S MPLUSPLUS.

[ APPLAUSE ]

* I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW * * YOU'VE GOT, YOU'VE GOT *
* MY HANDS ARE SHAKING JUST TO LET YOU KNOW *
* YOU'VE GOT A HIGHER POWER * * I'M DOWN ON MY KNEES *
* YO, YO *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: MPLUSPLUS, WOW! HOWIE.
Howie: FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THIS REALLY DATED ME, I'M
GOING TO BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU, THIS DID NOT BLOW ME AWAY.
OH, COME ON. Howie: IT'S JUST
PREPROGRAMMED L.E.D. LIGHTS, YOU CAN BY THIS ON THE PIER IN SANTA
MONICA. YOU CAN BUY THIS.
I DON'T REALLY WHAT THE 12 YEARS OF WORK WAS.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND. Terry: HEIDI, YOU CAN'T AGREE
WITH THAT. Heidi: BUT I KIND OF DO.
I DO AGREE WITH IT. I LIKE THE IDEA OF IT.
IT'S VIBRANT AND EVERYTHING. BUT IS IT SPECTACULAR ENOUGH?
IT WASN'T, SORRY. Terry: SIMON, DO YOU AGREE
WITH THESE GUYS? Simon: I COMPLETELY AND
UTTERLY DISAGREE. Terry: THANK YOU.
Simon: WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? THE PRIZE IS, APART FROM THE
MONEY, AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR ON THE VEGAS STRIP.
ISN'T THAT A VEGAS ACT? Terry: YES.
Terry: LISTEN. WINNING "AGT" IS HUGE.
WE SAY IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, AND IT REALLY DOES.
IT TAKES YOU TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF SUCCESS.
SO MAKING THE FINALS IS A BIG DEAL TOO.
FOLLOW THE ACTS TONIGHT ON TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, OR FACEBOOK
@AGT AS THEY TRY AND STEP UP TO THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF THEIR
CAREERS. KEEP YOURSELF IN THE LOOP!
OKAY, UP NEXT IS AN UNCLE AND NIECE.
AND THEY SING. I REALIZE THAT DOESN'T TELL YOU
MUCH, BUT THIS MIGHT. SIMON SAID THEIR AUDITION WAS
ONE OF HIS FAVORITE AUDITIONS OF THE YEAR.
HE ALSO SAID, "WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW."
YEP, HE WOWED FIVE TIMES. FROM CHESAPEAKE, VIRGINIA, AND
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, HERE ARE JOJO AND BRI.
I KNEW BRI HAD A PHENOMENAL TALENT.
WHEN SHE WAS 9 YEARS OLD, SHE WAS SINGING ON THE COUCH.
AND I LOOKED AT HER LIKE, WHO ARE YOU?
AND THEN WE JUST STARTED SINGING TOGETHER IN THAT LIVING ROOM.
IT JUST HAPPENED. IT JUST AUTOMATICALLY
CLICKED. WE'VE BEEN SINGING TOGETHER
FOR FIVE YEARS. BUT "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" WAS
OUR FIRST TIME EVER SINGING LIVE IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE.
* AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH *
Simon: THAT WAS THE DEFINITION OF JOY AND MAGIC.
IT WAS NOT JUST A GREAT SONG, WE'RE DISTANT FROM EACH OTHER
NOW. I MOVED FROM VIRGINIA TO
GEORGIA. SO WE'VE BEEN HAVING VIDEO CALLS
TO PRACTICE AND GET THINGS PERFECT FOR THIS MOMENT.
IT'S HARD BEING APART FROM MY UNCLE BUT WE DO SEE EACH OTHER.
IT'S LIKE WE NEVER LEFT. I MISSED YOU!
I'VE DONE THIS SHOW BEFORE BUT I'M NOT GETTING ELIMINATED
THIS TIME. WE WANT TO OPEN A STUDIO AND
CREATE MORE MUSIC TOGETHER. WE HAD TO STEP IT UP TO GIVE
THE AUDIENCE A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
VOCALLY WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
YES. [ APPLAUSE ]
* CHALLENGE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS *
* TRY AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TO THE SKY *
* YOU GOTTA BE BAD, YOU GOTTA BE BOLD, YOU GOTTA BE WISER *
* YOU GOTTA BE HARD, YOU GOTTA BE TOUGH, YOU GOTTA BE
STRONGER * * YOU GOTTA BE COOL, YOU GOTTA
BE CALM, YOU GOTTA STAY TOGETHER *
* ALL I KNOW, ALL I KNOW, LOVE WILL SAVE THE DAY *
* TIME ASKS NO QUESTIONS, IT GOES ON WITHOUT YOU *
* LEAVING YOU BEHIND IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE PACE *
* THE WORLD KEEPS ON SPINNING, CAN'T STOP IT IF YOU TRIED TO *
* THE BEST PART IS DANGER STARING YOU IN THE FACE *
* REMEMBER, LISTEN AS YOUR DAY UNFOLDS, CHALLENGE WHAT THE
FUTURE HOLDS * * TRY AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TO
THE SKY * * LOVERS, THEY MAY CAUSE YOU
TEARS, GO AHEAD, RELEASE YOUR FEARS
* MY OH, MY * * YOU GOTTA BE BAD, YOU GOTTA BE
BOLD, YOU GOTTA BE WISER * * YOU GOTTA BE HARD, YOU GOTTA
BE TOUGH, YOU GOTTA BE STRONGER *
* YOU GOTTA BE COOL, YOU GOTTA BE CALM, YOU GOTTA STAY
TOGETHER * * ALL I KNOW, ALL I KNOW, LOVE
WILL SAVE THE DAY * * YOU GOTTA BE BAD, YOU GOTTA BE
BOLD, YOU GOTTA BE WISER * * YOU GOTTA BE HARD, YOU GOTTA
BE TOUGH, YOU GOTTA BE STRONGER *
* YOU GOTTA BE COOL, YOU GATT THAT BE CALM, YOU GOTTA STAY
TOGETHER * * ALL I KNOW, LOVE WILL SAVE THE
DAY ** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: JOJO AND BRI. HEIDI.
Heidi: I LOVE YOU TWO SO MUCH.
I JUST WANT TO BOTTLE UP THIS VIBE AND THE BEAUTIFUL FEELING
AND KEEP IT WITH ME FOREVER. YOU'RE SO CUTE, YOU'RE SO
TALENTED. I LOVE YOU TOGETHER.
YOU HARMONIZE BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER AND I JUST LOVE THE TWO OF YOU.
Terry: SOFIA. Sofia: I LOVED IT.
I THINK YOUR PERFORMANCE, IT'S MORE THAN YOU TWO HAVE GREAT
VOICES. I THINK IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR
CHEMISTRY TOGETHER. IT'S GREAT TO WATCH.
Terry: SIMON. Simon: I MEANT IT WHEN I SAID
YOU WERE ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUDITIONS OF THE YEAR,
GENUINELY. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US
SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE ON THE LIVE SHOW, IT'S REALLY, REALLY LOUD
IN HERE AND SOMETIMES THINGS SOUND BETTER IN HERE THAN THEY
DO WHEN YOU WATCH IT BACK. I HAVE A FEELING YOU MAY HAVE
GONE OFFKEY AT TIMES, PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU'RE EXCITED, YOU'RE
NERVOUS. OR MAYBE NOT.
I DO THINK THE END PART OF THE PERFORMANCE WAS BETTER THAN THE
FIRST PART. I JUST REALLY, REALLY, REALLY
LIKE YOU TWO. [ APPLAUSE ]
Terry: HOWIE. Howie: I LOVE YOU TOO, I LOVE
THE GIMMICK OF YOU TWO BEING TOGETHER.
AND YOU, SIR, I ALREADY LOVE YOU, FROM THE LAST SEASON THAT I
SAW YOU. AND BRI, I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU
GUYS ON YOUTUBE. I JUST WANT TO SAY I HOPE I
DON'T GET BOOED, BUT BRI, YOU ARE THE STAR.
AND I THINK THAT IF YOU DID THIS ALONE, YOU WOULD JUST GO TO THE
STRATOSPHERE. THIS COMES OFF A LITTLE GIMMICKY
TO ME. I'M SORRY.
Sofia: HOWIE. Heidi: I LOVE THEM TOGETHER.
Terry: JOJO AND BRI, YOU HAVE MADE IT TO THE AGT LIVE SHOWS.
WAS IT EVERYTHING YOU EVER DREAMED?
YES. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT! THERE IS NO GREATER PRIZE IN
SHOW BUSINESS THAN WINNING THIS SHOW.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP UNCLE JOJO AND NIECE BRI TOWARDS THAT GOAL,
VOTE FOR THEM! TO USE THE "AGT" APP, YOU CAN
DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE APP STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY.
AFTER THE BREAK, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THESE
TWIN BROTHERS FROM CANADA ARE GOING TO DO WITH HOCKEY STICKS
AND PUCKS. BUT CAN THEY PULL OFF A PLACE IN
THE FINALS? WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
Terry: NOW, IF YOU'D ASKED ME WHAT YOU COULD DO WITH A HOCKEY
STICK AND A PUCK ON "AGT," I'D HAVE SAID, "NOT MUCH."
AND THAT'S WHY I'M THE HOST AND NOT A CONTESTANT ON THIS SHOW.
BECAUSE THESE TWO GUYS BLEW US AWAY AT THE AUDITIONS WITH JUST
THAT. FROM WATERLOO IN CANADA, HERE'S
THE CLINE TWINS. EVERY DAY WHEN WE WERE
YOUNGER WE WOULD WATCH "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
WE DREAMED OF BEING ON A STAGE THIS BIG.
HOW LONG DO YOU GUYS REHEARSE TO GET THIS GOOD?
WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS ALMOST A DECADE.
OUR DREAM COMING TRUE LIKE THAT.
Simon: I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT MUCH BUT IT WAS BRILLIANT.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES WE WERE REALLY
BLESSED FOR. THERE'S BEEN NHL GAMES THAT WANT
US TO PERFORM AT THE GAMES. STUFF LIKE THAT THAT WE
ALWAYS DREAMED OF. WE'RE JUST GOING INTO THE LIVE
SHOWS KNOWING WE HAVE TO BRING OUR "A" GAME.
IF YOU GET THIS, YOU WON'T GET BUZZED.
OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, A FEW ACTS GOT BUZZED.
THAT'S WHY WE PRACTICE EVERY SINGLE DAY, FOUR OR FIVE HOURS A
DAY. WHEN WE MESS UP, WE GO FROM THE
TOP AGAIN BECAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO DROP IT, WE KNOW
WE'RE NOT. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
WE'RE GOING IN THERE, DOING OUR THING, DOING CRAZY TRICKS.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE AROUND THE STAGE, GET CLOSER TO THE
JUDGMENTS, SHOW THEM WHAT WE CAN DO.
WE'RE PULLING OUT ALL THE TRICKS TO MAKE SURE AMERICA
KNOWS WE REALLY WANT THIS. [ APPLAUSE ]
**
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: THE CLINE TWINS. OH, MY GOODNESS.
SOFIA. Sofia: I LOVE YOU GUYS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE THE MOST?
THAT THIS IS SOMETHING NEW THAT WE'VE NEVER HAD ON AGT.
IT'S AMAZING. YOU GUYS ARE SO GOOD AT IT.
YOU BRING JOY TO THE STAGE. YOU LOOK THAT YOU HAVE PREPARED
FOR THIS WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS. AND AGT IS THE PERFECT STAGE FOR
THIS. Terry: SIMON, COULD YOU
BELIEVE THIS? Simon: NO, I CAN'T, ACTUALLY,
TERRY. WE DELIBERATED A LOT ABOUT
WHETHER WE WOULD PUT YOU THROUGH TO THE FINAL.
HOWIE IN PARTICULAR DIDN'T WANT YOU TO BE HERE.
AND I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY,
HOWIE, THEY'RE GOING THROUGH TO THE FINALS.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I WAS RIGHT.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU?
IT'S DIFFERENT. AND IT'S DIFFICULT.
AND I LIKE PEOPLE WHO TAKE THAT MOMENT.
AND YOU TOOK THAT MOMENT. AND WE'RE GOING TO REMEMBER YOU.
FOR ME, BEST ACT OF THE NIGHT. ONLY TWO ARE GOING THROUGH,
REMEMBER. YOU HAVE TO VOTE.
Terry: HOWIE, CANADA REPRESENTS.
Howie: HE'S A LIAR, EH? THE ONLY THING I'M MAD AT IS IF
YOU WERE ON "CANADA'S GOT TALENT," YOU WOULD HAVE WON.
YOU GUYS ARE SO PUCKING GOOD. Terry: HEIDI.
Heidi: YOU WERE PUCKING AWESOME.
I DIDN'T THINK I NEEDED SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE,
BUT I REALLY DO. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
SEEING THIS, TWINS, DOING THIS TOGETHER, AND YOU NEVER MISS A
BEAT, IT IS INCREDIBLE TO WATCH. AMAZING.
Terry: CLINE TWINS. DID YOU EVER THINK THIS UNIQUE
TALENT WOULD GET YOU THIS FAR? I MEAN, WE MANIFESTED IT, SO
NOW WE'RE HERE, CRAZY FEELING, HONESTLY.
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, THANK YOU. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT!
LISTEN, YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR EACH ACT ONLINE AND
WITH THE "AGT" APP. THAT IS A LOT OF VOTES, SO YOUR
VOICE COUNTS! IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE TWINS IN
THE FINALS, GET BUSY AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!
NEXT TONIGHT, A CONTESTANT WHO FINDS HER TRUE
EXPRESSION WHEN SHE SINGS AND A MAGICIAN WHO WILL MAKE YOU DOUBT
YOUR OWN EYES. COMING UP,
IT'S AMANDA MAMMANA AND NICOLAS RIBS.
STAY RIGHT THERE.
YOUNG GIRL, SHE ALWAYS TOLD HERSELF SHE COULD NEVER DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS. BUT TODAY SHE'S PROOF THAT IF
YOU HAVE A PASSION, YOU CAN'T BURY THE LIGHT.
FROM TRUMBULL, CONNECTICUT, HERE'S AMANDA MAMMANA.
GROWING UP, I WAS DEFINITELY AN OUTGOING KID.
I HAD ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC. WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD, I
DEVELOPED THE STUTTER. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
UMM, I DIDN'T LIKE WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME.
MY NAME IS AMANDA. DEFINITELY FOUND LIKE A REASON
WHY I STARTED. I CONTEMPLATED STOPPING MUSIC
BECAUSE I COULDN'T COMMUNICATE FREELY.
BUT I REMEMBER THE MOMENT I FOUND THAT, WHEN I SING, IT
SPARKED THE PASSION TO SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY WITH MY MUSIC.
YOUR VOICE IS SO PURE, SO BEAUTIFUL.
I'M SO HAPPY YOU CAME. WATCHING THE LIVE SHOWS,
THERE ARE A TON OF TALENTED SINGERS.
SO THIS ROUND, I'M GOING TO BE DOING ANOTHER ORIGINAL, BECAUSE
I WANT TO SHOW EVERYBODY THAT THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN KEEP ME
DOWN FROM PURSUING MY DREAM.
* CRYING, CAN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY *
* I'M TRYING, I'M CRYING, CAN BARELY REACH THE SURFACE *
* I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY, DID IT MEAN ANYTHING *
* I WANT MY WORDS * * I'M DONE HOPING BACK, I'LL
LEAVE IT IN THE PAST * * I'M NOT HIDING ANYMORE *
* YOU CAN'T STOP THE TIMES FROM CHANGING, AND I KNOW IT'S STILL
WORTH FIGHTING FOR * * SO WORTH FIGHTING FOR *
* I SAW IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME, FOR ME *
* I WON'T TIRE BECAUSE INSIDE ME THERE'S A FIGHTER *
* I'M DONE HOLDING BACK, I'LL LEAVE IT IN THE PAST *
* CAUSE I'M NOT HIDING ANYMORE * * YOU CAN'T STOP IT, CAUSE I
KNOW, SO WORTH FIGHTING FOR * * SO WORTH FIGHTING FOR *
* SO WORTH FIGHTING FOR ** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: AMANDA MAMMANA. YES.
SIMON. Simon: AMANDA, WHAT A
DIFFERENCE FROM THE SHY PERSON WE MET WHEN WE FIRST MET.
YOU KNOW, AND TO SEE YOUR CONFIDENCE, TO HAVE THE COURAGE
TO SING YOUR OWN SONG WITH THE LYRICS THAT ACTUALLY MEANT
SOMETHING, THIS IS REALLY GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, I PROMISE
YOU. I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE IN THE
FINALS THIS YEAR. YOU REALLY, REALLY DESERVE IT.
GOOD FOR YOU. Terry: HOWIE.
Howie: YOU TOUCHED ME IN A SPECIAL WAY, I DON'T THINK I'VE
TALKED ABOUT THIS BUT MY SON WAS A STUTTERER AS A KID, AND THIS
WAS A BIG HURDLE TO GET OVER. TO HEAR YOUR STORY, I KIND OF
RELATE TO IT. TO WATCH THAT JOURNEY FROM WHO
YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU STRUGGLE WITH, TO HEAR THE PURITY TODAY
IN NOT ONLY YOUR VOICE AND YOUR SONG BUT THE WORDS AND THE
STORY, IT WAS HEROIC AND BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU. Terry: HEIDI.
Heidi: I CAN ONLY ECHO EVERYTHING THEY'VE JUST SAID.
A BEAUTIFUL SONG, YOU SANG IT BEAUTIFULLY.
YOU LOOKED COMFORTABLE UP THERE. YOUR VOICE IS LIKE VELVET.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Terry: SO FAR I CAN'T.
Sofia: I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE, AMANDA.
AND CONGRATULATIONS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE OVERCOME SO MUCH.
YOU'RE A VERY INSPIRING, BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
AND I'M HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT.
Terry: AMANDA, YOU'VE CONQUERED SO MANY FEARS TO BE
HERE. HOW DO YOU FEEL SEEING ALL THESE
PEOPLE STANDING AND SUPPORTING YOU RIGHT NOW?
THIS IS JUST -- IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HERE. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
AMANDA! THE ACTS ALL WANT YOU TO VOTE
FOR THEM. BUT IT'S UP TO YOU WHO ACTUALLY
GETS YOUR VOTES. GET ONLINE AT NBC.COM OR USE THE
"AGT" APP TO SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITES.
THEY CAN'T MAKE THE FINALS WITHOUT YOU!
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST
AND SPARKLIEST ACTS "AGT" HAS EVER SEEN SHOOTS FOR THE FINALS.
IT'S XOMG POP! RIGHT AFTER THIS BREAK.
Terry: YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD THIS AUDIENCE SHOUTING AND
SCREAMING TONIGHT. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE RIGHT
HERE, SHOUTING AND SCREAMING RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM?
WELL, YOU CAN. THERE ARE JUST A FEW TICKETS
LEFT SO MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THEM. YOU CAN GET THEM AT
NBC.COM/AGT. SO BRING YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR
VOICE AND COME JOIN THE LIVE SHOW INSANITY!
NOW, WHEN ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS POP STARS CALLS AND
WANTS YOU TO BE PART OF HER NEW TEEN DANCE CREW, YOU SAY YES.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THESE SEVEN YOUNG GIRLS DID, AND THEY BLEW
UP AT THE AUDITIONS. FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA,
HERE'S XOMG POP! WE ARE XOMG POP.
OUR ENTIRE LIVES ALL OF US WANTED TO BECOME THE NEXT BIG
GIRL GROUP. WE ALL BECAME BEST FRIENDS
RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. THE YOUNGEST IS DALLAS, 10
YEARS OLD, I'M THE OLDEST, 15 YEARS OLD.
OUR AUDITION, WE WERE SO NERVOUS BUT EXCITED AT THE SAME
TIME. BUT SIMON SAYS "I DIDN'T LIKE
IT." Simon: I LOVED IT.
IT WAS THE BIGGEST DREAM EVER.
PEOPLE HAVE RECOGNIZED US FROM AGT, WE GO TO THE MALL TOGETHER
AND STUFF. CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE?
I'M LIKE, SURE. WE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING EVERY
SINGLE DAY ALL DAY. WE ARE GOING TO BE SINGING
OUR SECOND ORIGINAL. WE FEEL LIKE THIS ONE SHOWS A
DIFFERENT SIDE OF US. WE WORKED TOGETHER TO DO THE
CHOREOGRAPHY. WE HAVE TUMBLING.
WE GET THE WHOLE CROWD UP DANCING WITH US.
WE WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO EVER -- POP GROUP, GIRL GROUP TO
WIN AGT. JUST TALKING ABOUT IT GIVES
ME THE CHILLS. I KNOW.
BUT WE GOT THIS. YES!
[ APPLAUSE ]
**
*
**
* GOT A BRAND-NEW BEAT, GOT A BRAND-NEW SOUND *
**
* THE LATEST FASHION * * GOT A BRAND-NEW BEAT, GOT A
BRAND-NEW SOUND, GONNA MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN ROUND AND ROUND *
* GOT A BRAND-NEW BEAT, GOT A BRAND-NEW SOUND, GONNA MAKE YOUR
HEAD SPIN ROUND AND ROUND * * MERRY-GO-ROUND *
**
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: XOMG POP. WOW.
SIMON. Simon: WOW.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PERFORMANCES WHICH NOT EVERYONE
IS GOING TO LOVE. HOWEVER, YOU KNOW WHO YOUR
AUDIENCE IS, AND THIS IS SUPER, SUPER IMPORTANT.
IN TERMS OF PREPARATION, REHEARSALS, AMAZING.
ENERGY, AMAZING. I PERSONALLY DIDN'T LIKE THE
SONG. BUT THAT'S ME.
HOWEVER -- [ AUDIENCE REACTS ]
IF WE CONNECT YOU TO THE RIGHT SONG, YOU'RE UNSTOPPABLE.
Terry: HOWIE. Howie: IT HURT.
THE TONE HURTS ME. IT'S NOT FOR ME.
I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS NOT FOR ME.
BUT MY -- [ AUDIENCE REACTS ]
Terry: IT'S NOT FOR YOU. Howie: MY 7-YEAR-OLD
GRANDDAUGHTER ABBY SAYS THIS IS THE BEST ACT OF THE SEASON.
NOT FOR ME. Terry: YOU GOT A LITTLE
SOMETHING ON YOUR FACE, MAN. HEIDI.
Heidi: IT'S LIKE A PINATA EXPLODED AND SEVEN LITTLE SPICE
GIRLS FELL OUT. Terry: THAT'S RIGHT.
Heidi: I HAVE TO ALSO COMMEND YOU FOR SINGING LIVE AND DANCING
YOUR HEART OUT AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S ALSO VERY HARD TO DO.
Howie: NOT WHEN YOU'RE 7. Heidi: I FEEL LIKE I HAVE ALL
YOUR PERSONALITIES IN ONE BIT. Terry: SOFIA, YOU LIKE THEM?
Sofia: I LOVE THEM. I THINK THIS TIME YOU'RE MORE
PREPARED AND MORE IN SYNC. I THINK THE GIRLS IN AMERICA ARE
GOING TO LOVE YOU. THANK YOU.
Terry: XOMG POP, I SEE JOJO OVER THERE, HEY, JOJO.
LISTEN, ARE YOU GUYS HAVING FUN? WE ARE HAVING THE BEST TIME
OF OUR LIFE ON THE STAGE. THIS IS OUR DREAM COMING TRUE
RIGHT NOW. WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.
Terry: THAT'S SO GREAT. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GIRLS.
YOUR VOTES TONIGHT WILL PUT TWO ACTS INTO THE FINALS.
THAT MEANS NINE WILL BE HEADING HOME.
DO NOT LET YOUR FAVORITES BE ONE OF THEM.
VOTING IS ALREADY OPEN, AND IT WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL 7:00 A.M.
EASTERN TOMORROW. THE ACTS' FUTURES ARE IN YOUR
HANDS. Announcer: COMING UP.
I'VE NEVER SEEN MAGIC BETTER. I'VE NEVER SEEN MAGIC MORE
UNIQUE. THANK YOU.
I LOVED IT. IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT IT
SHOULDN'T BE PERFECT. THIS YEAR
Terry: SOMETIMES AT THE AUDITIONS, AN ACT LEAVES THE
JUDGES SPEECHLESS. WITH THIS ACT, THEY COULDN'T
STOP TALKING. HOWIE SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN
BETTER MAGIC OR MAGIC THAT WAS SO UNIQUE.
AND SIMON SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
WELL, NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO JUDGE.
FROM PARIS, FRANCE, HERE'S NICOLAS RIBS.
MY DAD WAS DOING A LOT OF MAGIC IN FRANCE.
ONE DAY I TOLD HIM THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD IS "AMERICA'S GOT
TALENT." AND HE HAD TO AUDITION.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
MY DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS.
I TOLD HIM THE SAME THING. [ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
FOR ME HE IS THE BEST MAGICIAN IN THE WORLD.
**
I'M READY. PICK A CARD, ANY CARD.
SIGN IT. YOUR CARD IS UNIQUE.
IT'S YOUR SIGNATURE. I PUT YOUR CARD IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE DECK, SLOWLY. TAKE IT.
AND KEEP IT SAFE.
**
Terry: YES, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
WHOA. NICOLAS RIBS!
HEIDI. Heidi: WOW.
WOW, WOW, WOW. I MEAN, THE COMBO OF TECHNOLOGY
AND REALITY IS SO MIND-BLOWING, IT'S INSANE.
YOUR SKILL SET IS BEYOND WORDS. I WISH I WOULD GET A LITTLE BIT
MORE OF YOUR FRENCH BECAUSE WHEN YOU SPEAK FRENCH, I THINK IT'S
BEAUTIFUL. I WOULD LOVE A LITTLE BIT MORE
JE NE SAIS QUA. I THINK YOUR DAUGHTER IS RIGHT,
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
Terry: SOFIA. Sofia: NICOLAS, I THINK
YOU'VE BROUGHT A NEW STYLE OF MAGIC TO AGT.
IT'S FANTASTIC. IT'S AMAZING.
YOU ARE DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTS OF THE SEASON.
Terry: SIMON, DO YOU FEEL THE MAGIC?
Simon: NICOLAS, WE HAD SO MANY AMAZING ACTS THROUGHOUT THE
AUDITION. I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
I FORGOT ABOUT YOU. AND THEN --
[ AUDIENCE REACTS ] HOWEVER, JE SUIS UN IDIOT.
IN TERMS OF LIVE PERFORMANCE, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST WE'VE
EVER SEEN. Terry: HOWIE.
Howie: THE BAR THIS YEAR FOR MAGIC HAS RISEN AND I PREDICT
YOU HAVE A REAL GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING THIS WHOLE THING.
Terry: ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, NICOLAS.
LISTEN, NICOLAS IS TALENTED, BUT HE CAN'T MAGIC HIMSELF INTO THE
FINALS. ONLY YOU CAN PUT HIM THROUGH.
TO VOTE ONLINE, GO TO NBC.COM AND VOTE FOR THE ACTS YOU THINK
DESERVE A SHOT AT $1 MILLION. ONLY TWO CAN GO THROUGH, AND IT
IS ALL UP TO YOU. STILL TO COME, A
ONE-WOMAN BAND AND A ONE-WOMAN VOICE ARTIST!
BOTH GO WAY BEYOND WHAT YOU THINK IS POSSIBLE.
BUT WILL IT GET THEM TO THE FINALS?
IT'S MIA MORRIS. AND LATER, CELIA MUNOZ.
STAY RIGHT THERE!
SHOW. HOW DO YOU THINK THESE ACTS ARE
HANDLING ALL THIS LIVE ENERGY? Simon: THEY'RE FEEDING OFF OF
TERRY.
WHATEVER YOU'VE REHEARSED, WHEN YOU WALK OUT ON THAT STAGE,
EVERYTHING CHANGES. YOU'VE GOT THE AUDIENCE, YOU'VE
GOT THE ADRENALINE, YOU'VE GOT THE ENERGY.
WHATEVER THEY PRACTICED BEFORE, IT ALL CHANGES IN THE THREE
MINUTES TONIGHT. SO FAR I THINK ONE PERSON IS IN
A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEAGUE. I KNOW WHO'S COMING UP AND I
THINK THE BEST IS YET TO COME. Terry: WOW.
I AGREE. I AGREE.
UP NEXT IS A SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND MUSICIAN WHO
CREATES AN INCREDIBLE WALL OF SOUND ALL BY HERSELF.
SOFIA CALLED HER ONE OF THE COOLEST GIRLS THAT HAS EVER
HIT THE STAGE. FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, SHE
IS MIA MORRIS. MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A
BIG PART OF MY LIFE. I CREDIT MY DAD FOR THAT.
I STARTED PIANO WHEN I WAS 4. WHEN I WAS 9, I STARTED PLAYING
THE DRUMS. WHEN I TURNED 11, I STARTED
PLAYING GUITAR AND BASS AND KEYS.
I REALIZED I COULD BE A ONE-WOMAN BAND IF I HAD A WAY TO
PLAY MULTIPLE THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.
THAT'S WHEN I GOT A LOOP PEDAL. THIS IS WHAT A LOOP PEDAL DOES.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOT OF FUN, A
ONE-WOMAN SHOW. MY DAY JOB IN NASHVILLE IS BEING
A HIRED MUSICIAN FOR ARTISTS. BEING A YOUNG FEMALE IN THE
MUSIC INDUSTRY IS A DOUBLE WHAMMY BECAUSE WHEN YOU WALK
INTO A REHEARSAL SPACE AND THEY SEE THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL
WALKING UP TO THE DRUM SET, PEOPLE ARE LIKE, SHE'S NOT THE
DRUMMER, SHE'S AN INTERN OR SOMETHING, RIGHT?
I OFTEN FIND MYSELF HAVING TO PROVE MY ABILITIES.
I REALLY DO THINK THAT THAT HAS MADE ME SO MUCH BETTER, BECAUSE
THAT'S WHERE MY PREPAREDNESS
COMES FROM. I DEFINITELY SPEND TIME TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A LIVE PERFORMANCE THE BEST THAT IT CAN
BE. THE DREAM, I WANT TO BE A ROCK
STAR. AND WINNING AGT WILL HELP MAKE
THAT DREAM COME TRUE.
**
CLAP WITH ME, AGT! LET ME HEAR YOU!
**
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: MIA MORRIS. SOFIA.
Sofia: MIA, I SAID IT AT THE AUDITION, YOU ARE THE COOLEST
GIRL, AND I STILL THINK YOU ARE. I LOVE EVERY TIME I SEE YOU,
YOUR ENERGY. YOU'RE GREAT.
Terry: SIMON. Simon: WELL, MIA, LOOK,
HERE'S WHY -- I'M OF TWO MINDS HERE.
I DIDN'T LOVE THE SONG, I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
[ AUDIENCE REACTS ] IT'S TRUE.
A LOT OF TIMES THE VOCALS WERE -- HOWEVER WHAT I DID LIKE
ABOUT YOU IS YOU DIDN'T COMPROMISE, IT WAS LIKE A
FANTASTIC MESS. BUT IN A WEIRD WAY, THAT WAS
GOOD, BECAUSE THE WORST THING WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT YOU WOULD
HAVE SUNG A REALLY SAFE COVER AND BEEN REALLY SWEET OR
WHATEVER AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BORING.
SO I LIKE YOU. Terry: MIA, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT WHAT SIMON JUST SAID? I THINK IT'S COMPLETELY FAIR,
IT'S GOOD BUT A MESS, THAT'S ROCK AND ROLL, MAN.
Terry: HOWIE. Howie: YOU'RE A ROCK STAR,
YOU'RE AN AMAZING PERFORMER, YOU'RE AN AMAZING, YOU KNOW,
MUSICIAN. ONTHAT YOU'RE AN AMAZING SINGER.
I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE AN AMAZING SONGWRITER.
I WOULD HAVE GONE WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE SAFER, A SONG.
AMERICA'S GOING TO VOTE. IF YOU WANT THEM TO LOVE THE
SONG, YOU GO WITH A SONG THAT'S ALREADY A HIT AND SHOW US YOUR
WARES. YOU MADE A CHOICE.
I THINK YOU MADE A WRONG CHOICE BECAUSE ONLY TWO PEOPLE ARE
GOING THROUGH. BUT I THINK YOU'RE A ROCK STAR.
Heidi: I THINK YOU'RE COOL, YOU BRING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT
ENERGY TO THE STAGE. YOU'RE RAW, YOU'RE UNPOLISHED.
YOU REMIND ME A LITTLE BIT OF
AVRIL LAVIGNE. YOU GIVE 200% WHEN YOU'RE UP
THERE. Terry: MIA, WHAT IS IT LIKE
HAVING YOUR DAD AS YOUR OWN PERSONAL ROADIE?
IT'S COOL, IT'S AWESOME. HE WORKS CHEAP SO IT'S A GOOD
DEAL. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
MIA. DO YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT MIA'S
GOING TO DO NEXT? THEN YOU HAVE TO VOTE AND PUT
HER THROUGH TO THE FINALS. YOU'VE GOT UNTIL 7:00 A.M.
EASTERN TOMORROW. OKAY.
IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES, TWO ACTS WHICH COULDN'T
BE MORE DIFFERENT BUT WHICH HAVE THE SAME GOAL.
IT'S BRILLIANT COMEDY AND ELECTRIFYING DANCE.
IT'S HAYDEN KRISTAL AND FUNKANOMETRY.
IT'S COMING UP AFTER THIS BREAK!
WEEKS FROM THE FINALS. FOUR ACTS ARE ALREADY THROUGH.
AND TOMORROW NIGHT, TWO MORE WILL JOIN THEM.
YOU'LL LITERALLY BE ABLE TO SEE THE NERVES AND TENSION ON THE
FACES OF THE ACTS AS WE GET THE RESULTS.
ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, ONE OF THE GREATEST "AGT" CHAMPIONS
WILL BE BACK. CODE KODI LEE WILL BE HERE.
THAT IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD, TOMORROW AT 8:00/7:00 CENTRAL.
BE HERE! OKAY, BACK TO THE FIGHT FOR YOUR
VOTES. HERE ON AGT, PEOPLE USE THEIR
MOTIVATIONS TO FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS.
THIS CONTESTANT HAS SEVERE HEARING LOSS, BUT SHE USES THAT
TO INSPIRE BRILLIANT STANDUP COMEDY.
FROM PUEBLO, COLORADO, HERE'S HAYDEN KRISTAL.
YOU MADE IT TO THE LIVE SHOW. I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME BACK. I'M WORKING WITH AN INTERPRETER
TONIGHT. I'M REALLY HARD OF HEARING.
THE AUDITION WAS THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.
WATCHING THE COMICS ON AGT IS WHAT GOT ME STARTED.
I LIKE STARTING THAT WAY BECAUSE IT MAKES HECKLING ME AN ADA
VIOLATION. I ACTUALLY GOT A TATTOO.
SO I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO FINAL. MY PARENTS REALIZED I HAD
HEARING LOSS WHEN I WAS AROUND 3.
I WASN'T RESPONDING TO THINGS I WOULD HAVE WANTED TO RESPOND TO
IF I COULD HEAR THEM. I DON'T HEAR HIGH FREQUENCY OR
LOW FREQUENCY. SO STANDUP CAN BE DIFFICULT.
I CAN'T NECESSARILY HEAR WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING BACK OR LIKE A
HECKLE, WHICH IS KIND OF NICE, BECAUSE I'M BIOLOGICALLY
HECKLE-PROOF. NONE OF THE COMICS WHO COMPETED
ON THE LIVE SHOW SO FAR HAVE MADE IT.
I HAVE TO BRING MY ABSOLUTE BEST MATERIAL.
I PRACTICE AS MUCH AS I CAN. I'M HELLBENT ON MAKING THE
FINALS. IT WOULD BE UNIMAGINABLY COOL TO
BE THE FIRST COMIC TO WIN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
THERE ARE A LOT OF BARRIERS. THERE'S A LOT OF BARRIERS AND IT
SUCKS. BUT I'M EXACTLY WHERE I'M
SUPPOSED TO BE. Announcer: GIVE IT UP FOR
HAYDEN KRISTAL. HELLO, HELLO.
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE BACK! I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE.
I AM MISSING MY DOGS THOUGH. ANY DOG PEOPLE HERE?
A FEW? HEIDI, WITH A KIND OF DOG DO YOU
HAVE? Heidi: AN IRISH BULL HOUND.
I'LL BE HONEST, CROWD WORK IS DIFFICULT FOR A DEAF COMEDIAN.
YOU SAID THE FOUR OF YOU SHARE CUSTODY OF ONE BEAGLE?
I LIKE THAT. INTERESTING.
I LOVE DOGS. I HAVE FOUR DOGS, WHICH IS A RED
FLAG. THAT'S TOO MANY DOGS, TOO MANY
DOGS FOR ONE PERSON TO HAVE. MY DOG PINKIE, THOUGH, SHE HATES
TAKING PILLS. ANY OF YOU HAVE A DOG LIKE THAT?
MY AUSTRALIAN SHEEP DOGS ARE EASY, MY PITBULL, BLESS HIS
HEART, IF YOU WANT HIM TO TAKE A PILL, JUST PRETEND TO DROP IT.
THAT'S IT. OH, NO.
HE TOOK HIS HEARTWORM MEDICATION.
MY DOG PINKY HATES TAKING PILLS. GIVING HER ANY MEDICATION TURNS
INTO THIS SPY VERSUS SPY ORDEAL, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS.
I'VE SEEN THIS ANIMAL START FIGHTS.
SHE'S RIDICULOUS. FUN FACT ABOUT ME, THREE OF MY
DOGS ARE DEAF. I HAVE A BRAND TO MAINTAIN,
RIGHT? THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. ONE OF MY DOGS WAS BORN TOTALLY
DEAF AND TOTALLY BLIND. SO HER NAME IS RHUMBA.
SHE RUNS AROUND SUCKING UP LITTLE BITS OF STUFF, THEN HEADS
OFF IN ANOTHER DIRECTION. HER NAME IS NOT ACTUALLY RHUMBA,
IT'S BITSY. THAT'S KIND OF THE FUN THING DID
DEAF DOGS, IT'S DEALER'S CHOICE EVERY TIME ON THE NAME.
THANK YOU. YOU CAN CHEER AS LOUD AS YOU
WANT, SHE'S NOT COMING WHEN YOU CALL HER.
PEOPLE THINK SHE'S CREEPY BECAUSE SHE JUST HAS EYE SOCKETS
WHERE HER EYES SHOULD BE. BUT I DON'T.
I THINK SHE'S THE MOST PERFECT THING EVER.
I THINK SHE LOOKS LIKE I MADE IT MOST OF THE WAY THROUGH A BUILD
A BEAR. I JUST GOT A NEW PUPPY LAST
YEAR. AND THIS ONE CAN SEE AND HEAR.
YEAH. IT'S AWFUL, I HATE IT.
I FEEL SURVEILLED IN MY HOME, RIGHT?
I DON'T WANT THAT. IF I WANTED SOMETHING LISTENING
TO EVERY WORD I SAID ALL THE TIME, I WOULD HAVE LEFT FACEBOOK
DOWNLOADED ON MY iPHONE. SHE GREW UP IN A HOUSE WHERE
NOBODY ELSE CAN HEAR. SHE HAS TO THINK SHE'S NUTS BY
NOW, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE'VE JUST BEEN STRAIGHT
GASLIGHTING THIS POOR DOG FOR LIKE EIGHT MONTHS, LIKE THE
DOORBELL GOES OFF AND SHE'S JUST LIKE -- I SWEAR TO GOD,
SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED, RIGHT? BUT YOU GOT TO LOVE HER.
YOU GUYS, THAT'S MY TIME. I'M HAYDEN KRISTAL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Terry: HAYDEN KRISTAL.
YES. WOW.
SIMON, YOU ARE ON YOUR FEET. Simon: ALONG WITH A LOT OF
OTHER PEOPLE, TERRY. HAYDEN, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M
REALLY CURIOUS, BECAUSE I LOVED YOUR ACT TONIGHT.
I WANT TO KNOW WHY WINNING IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, IF YOU DON'T
MIND ME ASKING. I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL
SAY IT AGAIN, I FEEL LIKE I WON JUST GETTING TO BE HERE AT ALL.
Simon: HAYDEN, THE REASON I ASK, BECAUSE I THINK YOU REALLY
POPPED TONIGHT, I REALLY DO. YOU WEREN'T DAUNTED BY BEING ON
THE LIVE SHOW. IT WAS SO COMFORTABLE, IT WAS SO
FUNNY, IT WAS SO ORIGINAL. I THINK YOU'VE GOT A STAR GLOW
ABOUT YOU. THAT WAS A GREAT PERFORMANCE.
Terry: HOWIE, YOU WERE LAUGHING, MAN.
Howie: I WAS LAUGHING OUT LOUD.
I WASN'T HERE, I HAD COVID WHEN YOU WERE HERE THE FIRST TIME.
BUT I WATCHED YOU, I WAS LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY AT YOUR
FIRST ACT, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO TONIGHT.
HE'S RIGHT, YOU ROSE TO THE OCCASION.
I DON'T SENSE ANY NERVES. YOU'RE AUTHENTIC, YOU'RE FUNNY.
WE LOVE YOU, AMERICA LOVES YOU, AND YOU HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE
AHEAD OF YOU, YOUNG LADY. Terry: HEIDI.
Heidi: YOU HAD ME AT DOGS, WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT DOGS
BECAUSE I LOVE DOGS AND I'VE HAD TO WRESTLE PILLS DOWN MY GERMAN
SHEPHERDS MANY TIMES SO I CAN TOTALLY RELATE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL FEEL THAT ABOUT YOU, YOU'RE FUNNY, ALL THE
DOG LOVERS WILL VOTE FOR AND YOU MAYBE YOU'RE LUCKY WITH SOME CAT
LOVERS TOO, YOU NEVER KNOW. Terry: SOFIA.
Sofia: HAYDN, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO ON THAT STAGE
IS INCREDIBLE. I THINK YOU'RE RELATABLE, YOU'RE
FUNNY AND LIKEABLE AND I REALLY, REALLY HOPE AMERICA VOTES FOR
YOU TONIGHT. YOU DESERVE IT.
Terry: HAYDEN, YOU WERE AMAZING TONIGHT.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO GET THAT AMAZING VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FROM
SIMON COWL? COWELL?
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. I GREW UP WATCHING YOU, I WORKED
SO HARD FOR THIS, I'VE WATCHED ALL THE COMEDIANS WHO CAME
BEFORE ME. TO BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THEM, TO
BE ASKED TO BE HERE IS UNBELIEVABLE.
THANK YOU. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
HAYDEN. TO VOTE FOR HAYDEN ONLINE, HEAD
OVER TO NBC.COM. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR
ALL OF THE ACTS ONLINE AND WITH THE "AGT" APP.
THAT'S A LOT OF VOTING POWER. BUT YOU DO HAVE TO ACTUALLY VOTE
IF YOU WANT YOUR FAVORITES TO STAY IN THIS COMPETITION!
OKAY. VENTRILOQUISTS
TERRY FATOR, PAUL ZERDIN, AND DARCI LYNNE FARMER HAVE ALL WON
"AGT." AFTER THE BREAK, AN ACT INSPIRED
BY THEIR SUCCESS HOPES TO FOLLOW
SOFIA VERGARA THINKS SHE'S A PRETTY GOOD VENTRILOQUIST.
SO IT'S HARD TO IMPRESS HER. BUT AT THE AUDITIONS, THIS LADY
HAD SOFIA AND ALL THE OTHER JUDGES ON THEIR FEET.
FROM MADRID, SPAIN, HERE'S CELIA MUNOZ.
I WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE I WOULD MAKE MISTAKES THAT WERE FATAL.
I THOUGHT, WHAT CAN I DO TO SURPRISE?
IT WAS KIND OF REFRESHING. I ACTUALLY LIKE THAT, YOU PUT A
LITTLE TWIST ON IT. I WAS TRAINED AS AN OPERA
SINGER. I HAVE BEEN SINGING ALL MY LIFE.
BUT ONE NIGHT I WATCHED A VIDEO, AND SOMETHING CLICKED.
I SAID, I CAN DO IT. AND AFTER THREE MONTHS, I WAS
PERFORMING AT AN OPEN MIC. AND THEN TWO YEARS LATER, I'M
HERE. IT WAS SUCH AN INSPIRATION.
SHE TOLD ME, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO WIN IF YOU DON'T TAKE A RISK.
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING. I'M TAKING A RISK.
I WILL SHOW YOU MY LOVE OF VOICES IN UNUSUAL SPACES AND ALL
OF THE VOICES YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR DURING MY PERFORMANCE WILL
BE COMING FROM ME. I WANT TO BE THE NEXT FAMOUS
VENTRILOQUIST PERFORMING IN LAS VEGAS.
SO TONIGHT I HAVE TO BE GOOD AND I HOPE AMERICA LIKES IT.
[ APPLAUSE ] [ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
MANOLO, I CAN'T TALK NOW, WE'LL TALK LATER.
DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY. FORGET HIM.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. IT'S MY FAVORITE MOVIE.
** * HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU *
* THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE, SINCE YOU PUSHED MY LOVE ASIDE *
* I'M OUT OF MY HEAD, HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU *
* HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU * * HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU *
HOWIE. Howie: WOW.
HERE AT "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" WE LOVE ORIGINALITY AND YOU ARE
ORIGINAL. WHAT YOU DO IS A CAPELLA.
YOU GIVE US A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF OLIVIA
NEWTON-JOHN WAS BORN IN SPAIN. IT WAS ORIGINAL, I LOVED IT.
YOU MADE MY LAUGH. THANK YOU.
Terry: HEIDI, CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
Heidi: I LOVE HOW YOU TOOK US INTO YOUR WORLD AND YOU MAKE ALL
THE NOISES. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU EAT AND DO
VENTRILOQUISM AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S INCREDIBLE.
YOU HAVE AN AMAZING MIND. I LOVE YOUR IMAGINATION.
THIS IS VERY NEW AND VERY DIFFERENT.
BRAVA. Terry: SIMON.
Simon: I WAS LAUGHING SO MUCH BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE USED
SO SEEING THE VENTRILOQUIST WITH A DUMMY, THEY MIGHT HAVE TUNED
IN AND SAID, THIS IS A VERY ODD SINGER.
I LOVED IT SO MUCH, IT WAS BRILLIANT, IT WAS UNIQUE, IT WAS
DIFFERENT. THAT'S WHY I THINK THE AUDIENCE
REACTED THE WAY THEY DID. IN MY OPINION THIS MIGHT BE THE
BEST ACT SO FAR. Terry: NOW I HAVE TO GO TO
THE PROFESSIONAL, SOFIA. Sofia: I THINK YOU'RE SO
UNIQUE. I THINK YOUR ACT IS THE KIND OF
ACT THAT YOU CAN ONLY SEE ON AGT, BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING SO
DIFFERENT. Howie: ARE YOU TALKING OR IS
SHE? Sofia: I AM VERY GOOD BUT MY
ACT IS VERY DIFFERENT TOO. I LOVE THAT YOU ARE A
VENTRILOQUIST WITH NO PUPPET. THANK YOU.
Terry: CELIA, A FEW YEARS AGO YOU WERE WATCHING VENTRILOQUISTS
ON THIS STAGE. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ONE STEP
CLOSER TO BE THE NEXT VENTRILOQUIST THAT COULD WIN
AGT? IT'S A DREAM, I'M JUST IN THE
SKY. I'M DREAMING.
Terry: SHE'S DREAMING. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
CELIA! TO VOTE FOR CELIA ONLINE, HEAD
OVER TO NBC.COM. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR
ALL OF THE ACTS ONLINE AND WITH THE "AGT" APP.
WE'LL FIND OUT IF YOU PUT HER THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT.
Announcer: COMING UP. OH, MY GOD, I LOVE IT.
YOU'RE IN SYNC TOGETHER, YOUR FACES AND YOUR ACADEMIC AND YOUR
LITTLE STORYTELLING. THAT WAS SO GOOD ON SO MANY
LEVELS. IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME TO
AMERICA? THAT'S TRUE.
WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF SINGERS OVER THE YEARS.
SO WOW. Terry: THIS SEASON'S WINNER
WILL BE JOINING THE GREATEST "AGT" STAGE SHOW OF ALL
TIME -- "AGT LAS VEGAS LIVE." IT'S AT THE LUXOR.
IT'S ALREADY A HUGE HIT, FEATURING
SOME OF THE BIGGEST "AGT" STARS, AND YOU CAN GO SEE IT.
GO TO NBC.COM/AGTVEGASLIVE FOR INFO AND TICKETS.
IT IS AN INCREDIBLE SHOW. AND JUST THINK, YOU CHOSE ALL OF
THE ACTS! OKAY.
SIMON HAD A REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS ACT AT THE AUDITION.
HE SAID IT WASN'T LONG ENOUGH. AND SINCE THESE TWO GUYS GOT TO
THE LIVE SHOW, THEY'VE BEEN HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN.
FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND, CANADA, HERE'S FUNKANOMETRY.
WE MADE IT, CHECK THIS OUT. WE'VE BEEN DANCING TOGETHER
SIX YEARS. WE'RE GOING FOR A LITTLE
WALK. IT STARTED LIKE A REGULAR
STUDIO DANCE DUO. HE BEGAN FILMING TIKTOKS.
PEOPLE BEGAN RECOGNIZING US. THEY BOUGHT US DINNER.
WHAT?
[ SIMULTANEOUS SPEAKING ] THIS IS BAD.
DID YOU BUZZ IT? DUDE.
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.
CHECK IT OUT. OUR FACEBOOK HAS 20 MILLION
VIEWS NOW. LOVED HIS AUDITION.
YOU'RE IN SYNC, YOUR ACTING AND STORYTELLING WORKED.
IT'S AMAZING. WE'RE ONE PERFORMANCE AWAY.
AND THE FINALS. I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT
THAT. WE PRACTICE EVERY DAY.
IT'S SERIOUS TIME. THE CHOREOGRAPHY IN THIS ONE
HAS GOTTEN HARDER. WE HOPE IT WILL BE FUNNY.
THE FUNKANOMETRY SHOW IS GOING TO THE MOON.
**
* CAN'T TOUCH THIS * * CAN'T TOUCH THIS *
**
* WE ARE FAMILY * * I GOT ALL MY SISTERS AND ME *
* WE ARE FAMILY * * GET UP EVERYBODY AND SING *
**
* YEAH, I WANT TO DANCE WITH SOMEBODY *
* WITH SOMEBODY WHO LOVES ME *
Terry: FUNKANOMETRY. HEIDI.
Heidi: I HAVE TO BE HONEST. I HAVE TO BE HONEST.
I CAN'T SAY THAT I LOVED IT THIS TIME.
I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T.
FOR ME IT WAS NOT A STEP UP SINCE LAST TIME, FOR ME IT WAS
MORE LIKE A MIDDLE SCHOOL TALENT SHOW.
I KNOW. BUT THAT'S HOW I FELT.
Terry: SOFIA. Sofia: YOU'RE SO LIKEABLE,
YOU'RE SO SURPRISING, I'M SURE YOU SURPRISE GIRLS WHO DON'T
THINK YOU CAN DANCE LIKE THIS. IT'S AMAZING.
YOU MIGHT NOT BE AT THE LEVEL OF MOST OF THE DANCERS ON AGT.
BUT I THINK YOU DO AN AMAZING, AMAZING JOB, I LOVE IT.
Terry: SIMON. Simon: LOOK, YEAH, WE DO HAVE
A LOT OF VERY GOOD TECHNICAL DANCERS ON THE SHOW WHO ARE ALSO
INCREDIBLY BORING. YOU'RE NOT.
Terry: THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU.
Simon: I REALLY ENJOYED THE AUDITION.
I LOVED THE PERFORMANCE. I REALLY LIKE YOU TWO.
I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.
WE NEEDED YOU. YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITES, I'VE
GOT TO TELL YOU. Terry: HOWIE, DID YOU FEEL
THE FUNK, MAN? Howie: I LIKE YOUR CHOICE OF
MUSIC. I LIKE YOUR ENERGY.
I LIKE YOUR PERFORMANCE. BUT I JUST THINK THIS IS A BIG
STAGE AND I THINK WHAT WE JUST SAW WAS A VIRAL TIKTOK.
Simon: THAT'S A GOOD THING. Howie: THIS IS NOT TIKTOK,
THIS IS AGT.
Terry: FUNKANOMETRY, YOU SAW YOU TAKE A SELFIE WITH THE
JUDGES. IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT WE BRING
THE FUNK UP HERE WITH US. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
GUYS. IF YOU WANT TO HELP THESE TWO
GET CLOSER TO THAT GOAL, VOTE FOR THEM.
USE THE "AGT" APP OR GET ONLINE AT NBC.COM.
THEY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU! COMING UP, IT'S SIMON'S GOLDEN
BUZZER. CAN SARA JAMES STEP IT UP AND
SING HER WAY INTO THE FINALS? WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
Terry: OUR LAST ACT TONIGHT IS SIMON'S GOLDEN BUZZER, AND
SHE IS AN AMAZING SINGER. AND SHE'S ONLY 14.
SIMON, OUT OF ALL THE ACTS AT THE AUDITION, WHY THIS ACT?
Simon: WE NEVER KNOW WHO'S COMING ON UNTIL THEY COME ON.
I REMEMBER SARA'S AUDITION LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.
FLEW ALL THE WAY FROM POLAND TO AUDITION IN AMERICA.
I THOUGHT, GOOD FOR YOU. AND THEN THE MINUTE SHE STARTED
SINGING IT WAS LIKE, WOW. AND I WAS THINKING, YEAH, SHE'S
GOING TO GET MY GOLDEN BUZZER. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S
A GREAT THING BUT IT PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON HER TONIGHT.
Terry: OKAY. SHE'S FROM POLAND.
SHE'S SINGING FOR THE FINALS. LET'S FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
SARA JAMES. I LIVE WITH MY MOM IN A SMALL
TOWN IN POLAND. MY DAD IS FROM NIGERIA AND MY
MOM IS POLISH. I ALWAYS WANTED TO SING IN
AMERICA. MY MOM IS SO SUPPORTIVE, SHE
ALWAYS WANTS ME TO BE NUMBER ONE.
I AUDITIONED, I WAS SO NERVOUS. IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME TO
AMERICA? YES.
WHEN I CAME TO AMERICA FOR THE FIRST TIME, THAT WAS A
MOMENT I'LL NEVER FORGET AND I WANT TO MAKE THIS A MOMENT FOR
YOU TO REMEMBER FOREVER. IT WAS THE BEST MOMENT OF MY
LIFE. AFTER MY AUDITION, THE WHOLE
TOWN WAS TALKING ABOUT IT. BILLIE EILISH POSTED IT ON
SOCIAL MEDIA. I WAS LIKE, WHAT!
IT'S SO WEIRD. LAST WEEK I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
I HAVE TO DO MY BEST TO WIN. IN POLAND WE HAVE THIS SAYING.
IT MEANS DON'T IGNORE YOUR DREAMS BECAUSE THEY WON'T COME
TRUE. THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPOTS GOING
INTO THE FINALS. THAT'S INSANE.
I HAVE TO MAKE THIS PERFORMANCE INSPIRE.
** * I PACKED MY BAGS LAST NIGHT
PREFLIGHT * * ZERO HOUR 9:00 A.M. *
* AND I'M GONNA BE HIGH AS A KITE BY THEN *
* I MISS THE EARTH SO MUCH, IT'S LONELY OUT IN SPACE *

Terry: SARA JAMES. SIMON, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER, MAN.
UNBELIEVABLE. Simon: WOW, SARA.
I AM ACTUALLY VERY EMOTIONAL FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I KNOW
HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO YOU. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE -- HOW OLD ARE YOU? 14.
OKAY. YOU'RE 14 YEARS OLD.
THE PRESSURE ON YOU TO DELIVER TONIGHT AND TO CHOOSE THE SONG,
THAT SONG CHOICE WAS GENIUS, BY THE WAY, ABSOLUTELY GENIUS.
YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION MAKE A SONG YOUR OWN.
THAT'S WHAT YOU DID. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO FIND
THIS TIME ELTON JOHN IS GOING TO BE RETWEETING THE SONG.
I DO. Terry: HEIDI.
Heidi: I MEAN, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND I HAVE TO ALSO GIVE
IT TO SIMON, YOU SURELY NOW HOW TO PICK THE STARS, HERE WE HAVE
ONE. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
INCREDIBLE. Terry: HOWIE.
Howie: YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY THAT WAS A WINNING PERFORMANCE.
IT REALLY WAS A WINNING PERFORMANCE.
YOUR LOOK, YOUR POISE, YOUR TALENT IS THAT OF A SUPERSTAR.
Terry: ALL RIGHT, GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, SARA.
ALL RIGHT, YOU'VE SEEN ALL OF THE ACTS.
