[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Announcer: LIVE IT'S "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" THE
RESULTS. HERE'S YOUR HOST, TERRY CREWS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
Terry: YES! THIS IS "AGT" AND TONIGHT IS THE
RESULTS. FOR TWO ACTS THE DREAM IS GOING
TO STAY ALIVE. FOR NINE IT'S ALL GOING TO COME
TO AN END IN THE NEXT HOUR. CHECK THIS, WE'VE ALSO GOT AN
INSTANT SAVE VOTE TONIGHT. LATER IN THE SHOW THE JUDGES
WILL PUT FORWARD FOUR ACTS WHICH HAVEN'T MADE IT TO THE FINALS
AND YOU'LL VOTE LIVE TO SAVE ONE OF THEM.
THAT'S COMING UP. THIS WEEK'S 11 ACTS, THE TENSION
AND THE NERVES WERE THROUGH THE ROOF THE MOMENT WE WENT LIVE
LAST NIGHT BECAUSE THEY WERE ABOUT TO PERFORM FOR YOUR VOTES
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. CHECK IT OUT.
THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPOTS TONIGHT.
AM I NERVOUS? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Sofia: THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO START AGAIN.
Heidi: LET'S DO THIS. Simon: HERE WE GO.
Terry: IT'S THE LAST BATTLE FOR THE FINALS.
SHE'S KRISTEN CRUZ. Howie: THE WORD THAT COMES TO
MIND IS POWERFUL. Sofia: IT WAS AMAZING.
Heidi: I WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT.
Simon: YOU HAVE A GREAT COUNTRY VOICE.
IN MY OPINION YOU CHOSE THE WRONG SONG TONIGHT.
Heidi: NO, NO, NO. I TOTALLY DISAGREE.
YOUR VOICE IS FEROCIOUS AND I LOVE IT.
YES! Simon: THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A
REALLY BIG MOMENT. Heidi: NO.
USE THAT ENERGY FOR GOOD. MUSIC BECOMES A SOUNDTRACK TO
OUR LIVES. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A FREE
STYLE RAP OUT OF THE WORDS TERRY MIXED UP.
Howie: YOU'RE INSPIRATIONAL, UNIQUE, AUTHENTIC.
* I GOT BALANCE * * LET ME SHOW YOU WHY "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT" * Simon: I COULD HEAR HOW
NERVOUS YOU WERE. HEIDI, YOU CHOSE THE WORD
INSPIRE. Simon: IT MADE ME LIKE YOU
EVEN MORE. WHAT DOES IT SAY?
INSPIRE. SOMEBODY GET ME A COCKTAIL.
Heidi: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS BUT I'M STARVING.
Sofia: WANT TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT?
I'LL PAY. Simon: DID YOU SAY YOU'LL
PAY? Heidi: WE LOVE THE DANCING,
CHOREOGRAPHY, BUT THE VOCALS NEED MORE FINESSING.
[ BUZZER ] Terry: WHAT'S THE BUZZER
ABOUT MAN? Howie: YOU GOT TO HIT SOME OF
THE NOTES. THEY WERE REALLY OFF.
Sofia: I DON'T THINK TONIGHT WAS YOUR NIGHT.
Howie: LOOK AT MY TWITTER. DOES ANYBODY READ JAPANESE?
OH, MY GOD. THEY'RE ALL SAYING WE LOVE YOU
HOWIE, RIGHT? Heidi: IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE 19 YEARS OLD AND YOU HAVE SUCH DEDICATION.
Sofia: THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT MAKES PEOPLE LOVE
YOU. Simon: IT'S HIS TALENT.
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE LOVE HIM. THE SONG CHOICE WAS EXCELLENT.
Howie: ED SHEERAN SHOULD GIVE YOU A CALL AND YOU SHOULD DO
THAT LIVE ON STAGE. Heidi: I APPRECIATE THAT A
LOT. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
YOU SO DESERVE IT. THANK YOU.
YOU'RE A PERFORMER? YEAH.
I'M NOT A TOUGH GUY. I SOUND LIKE CAT WILLIAMS, BUT I
LOOK LIKE I WOULD NAME MY CAT WILLIAM.
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS TO BE A THUG WHEN YOU WERE RAISED DOWN THE
STREET FROM DISNEYLAND. YOU THINK SOMEBODY IS WORRIED
ABOUT YOU. Simon: YOUR COMEDY IS
ORIGINAL TO YOU. Sofia: YOU'RE AMERICA'S WILD
CARD. YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR A
REASON. Sofia: SO FASCINATING.
IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE AUDITION.
Simon: ONE OF THE MOST ASTONISHINGLY, BRILLIANT,
CREATIVE ACTS WE'VE SEEN ON THE LIVE SHOW.
YOU MIGHT SURPRISE US ALL AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.
Howie: I WAS WONDERING IF THAT CHOICE OF A SONG WAS A
LITTLE MORE CABARET. I MIGHT HAVE CHOSEN SOMETHING
BIGGER. Heidi: I LOVE THE SONG.
IT SHOWED YOUR AMAZING RANGE THAT YOU HAVE.
IT FEELS LIKE A DREAM. IT'S WORTH IT TO BE YOU AND
NOTHING BUT. Sofia: I REALLY LOVE THIS ACT
BECAUSE I HATE IT AT THE SAME TIME.
Heidi: KUDOS TO THE LADY FOR STAYING ON THAT SPINNING THING.
Terry: SIMON, YOU WERE ON YOUR FEET.
Simon: BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO RUN OUT.
THIS IS A VEGAS ACT, NO QUESTION.
Sofia: OH, MY GOD THAT SMELLS
DELICIOUS. Heidi: THAT'S YOURS.
THAT'S MINE. Sofia: WHERE'S MINE?
Howie: THAT WAS THE MOST EXCITING ABOUT OF THE NIGHT.
Sofia: THE ENERGY, THE DANGER, IT WAS FABULOUS.
Simon: THIS MADE ME FEEL AMAZING.
I COULD SEE HOW MUCH YOU WANT THIS FOR YOURSELVES.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A TEN. THAT WAS A MOMENT.
THANK YOU. Howie: WE HAVE NEVER SEEN
YO-YO DONE TO THE LEVEL YOU'RE DOING IT.
Simon: YOU ARE A TRUE WORLD CHAMPION.
YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF A SHOT TO BE IN THE FINALS.
THAT'S MY BEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE EVER.
Howie: DID YOU SEE HOW CLOSE THE YO-YO CAME?
Heidi: I CAN'T BELIEVE THE LAST ONE IS COMING UP.
Simon: THAT WAS AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
THIS IS THE PERFORMANCE THAT CHANGES THE WORLD.
Sofia: 36 WOMEN DANCING AT ONCE.
IT'S MAGIC. Howie: THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
Sofia: THAT WAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE.
PERFECTION. Howie: WOW!
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER WORDS. WHAT AN ENDING.
Terry: AMERICA, PLEASE WELCOME YOUR 11 ACTS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] TAKE A GOOD LOOK.
ONE OF THESE ACTS COULD BE THE ULTIMATE WINNER.
AT THIS STAGE ONLY ONE THING IS CERTAIN, TWO OF THEM WILL BE
BACK NEXT WEEK IN THE FINALS, FIGHTING TO BE THE "AGT"
CHAMPION. THE COMPETITION THIS YEAR IS
TOUGHER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN. ONLY THE VERY BEST WILL MAKE IT.
RIGHT NOW, GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR "AGT" JUDGES.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] NOW, SIMON, YOU ARE KNOWN FOR
YOUR HONESTY. HOW HAS THIS YEAR'S FINALS
SHAPING UP COMPARED TO OTHER YEARS?
Simon: I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, TERRY.
WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT THESE
CONTESTANTS. FOR SOME REASON THIS CAREER
WE'RE SEEING SOME OF THE MOST ASTONISHING LIVE PERFORMANCES
I'VE EVER SEEN. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, TERRY,
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT. I HAVE A FEELING, IF MY HUNCH IS
RIGHT, WE'LL END UP WITH THE MOST INCREDIBLE FINAL, WITH THE
MOST INCREDIBLE TALENT AND IT'S THE MOST OPEN FINAL WE'VE EVER
HAD. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.
Terry: NOW, HOWIE, SOCIAL MEDIA BLEW UP AFTER YOU BUZZED
TRAVIS JAPAN LAST NIGHT. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THEIR
FANS? [ CROWD BOOS ]
Sofia: YEAH, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY?
Howie: MAYBE I WAS A LITTLE HARSH WITH THE BUZZER --
Simon: I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BOO HOWIE.
Howie: I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING.
I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING. I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT
IT. [ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
Terry: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Howie: IT MEANS --
Simon: I AM AN IDIOT. Howie: I SAID PEOPLE OF
JAPAN, I LOVE YOU. Terry: ALL RIGHT.
Simon: THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT, HOWIE.
WE LOVE JAPAN AS WELL. Terry: YES, WE DO.
NOW, HEIDI, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID IT FELT LIKE THE FINALS LAST
NIGHT. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE?
Heidi: I HAD A BLAST, DIDN'T YOU?
EVERYBODY ENGAGED. YOU COULD FEEL THE ENERGY.
I'M SURE THE PEOPLE AT HOME FELT THE ENERGY TOO.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO THEY VOTED THROUGH.
Terry: OKAY. WELL, THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN

GENUINELY SORRY TO SEE SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE GO.
AT THE END OF THE DAY ONLY TWO ARE GOING THROUGH.

URBANCREW, THE MAYYAS, AND MERVANT VERA.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] TWO OF THEM WILL BE GOING INTO
THE FINALS TONIGHT. BUT ONLY TWO.
IT'S CERTAINLY BEEN AN INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL SHOW SO FAR AND

TRULY THE THREE ACTS, ALL OF YOU, YOU WERE AMAZING LAST
NIGHT, SO DESERVED. CONTINUOUSLY I'M HOLDING MY
THUMBS FOR ALL YOU GUYS. GOOD LUCK.
Terry: THESE ACTS ARE ONE STEP AWAY FROM MAKING THE
FINALS. SO THE STAKES ARE SKY HIGH
BECAUSE WINNING "AGT" CHANGES EVERYTHING.
HERE'S "AGT" CHAMPION BRANDON LEAKE ON HOW LIFE
CHANGED FOR HIM. **
I REMIND MYSELF OF THE JOURNEY I TOOK ON "AGT."
IT INSPIRES ME BECAUSE FROM WHERE I WAS TO WHERE I ELEVATED
TO, A DRAMATIC CHANGE. Terry: THE WINNER IS BRANDON
LEAKE. IT HELPS ME ELEVATE MY GAME.
REALLY ELEVATED MY ART TO WHAT IT IS NOW.
BEING AN "AGT" CHAMPION IS THE DEDICATION AND WORK TO BE GREAT.
WHAT MOTIVATES US ALL IS THE HOPE TO INSPIRE ANOTHER YOUNG
PERSON TO CHASE AFTER THEIR DREAMS.
HEY, BRANDON. HEY, BUDDY.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR
THE RIDE, BRANDON. ANY TIME.
I MEAN I DO OWE YOU FOR THAT GOLDEN BUZZER.
I REMEMBER BEING BLOWN AWAY AT THE END OF YOUR FIRST POEM
AND REALIZING IT WAS ABOUT YOUR SISTER.
I DON'T THINK YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU INSPIRED ME EVEN BEFORE
THE SHOW. WHEN PEOPLE SHOW UP ON OUR
SHOW, IT'S FOR A DREAM. YOU KIND OF ARE AN EXAMPLE OF
DREAMS COMING TRUE. YEAH.
JUST KNOWING THE LEVEL OF COMPETITION THAT'S STEPPING UP
RIGHT NOW, I KNOW IF I WAS ON THIS YEAR'S FINALS, I WOULD
PROBABLY BE SWEATING A WHOLE LOT.
BRANDON, GOOD TO SEE YOU. LOVE THE KIA.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: FOOTBALL IS BACK.
WATCH THE BUFFALO BILLS TAKE ON THE DEFENDING SUPER BOWL
CHAMPION L.A. RAMS IN THE NFL KICKOFF GAME TOMORROW ON NBC AND
PEACOCK. ALL RIGHT.

JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR US.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE YOU GAVE US.
THANK YOU, SOFIA. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE LOVE YOU. Terry: ALL RIGHT, MAYYAS,
WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN THE FINALS.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE MAYYAS! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
YOU DID IT. YOU DID IT.
TWO ACTS LEFT FOR ONE SPOT IN THE FINALS.

I DID NOT EXPECT THAT. SORRY ABOUT THIS.
Terry: HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY?
Howie: I WANT TO SAY, KRISTY, YOU ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
WHAT THIS FINALS IS GOING TO BE. YOU ARE SHOWING US THINGS DONE
IN A WAY WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, WITH SO MUCH
ORIGINALITY, SO MUCH -- IT'S GOING TO BE THE MOST EXCITING,
MOST EMPOWERING FINALS I'VE EVER SEEN.
I'M HOLDING ON TO MY THUMBS. Terry: THE MAYYAS AND KRISTY
SELLARS ARE THROUGH TO NEXT WEEK'S FINALS.
THEY'LL BE JOINING AVERY DIXON, DRAKE MILLIGAN, CHAPEL HART.
SARAH JANE, ME THAT PHYSIC AND MIKE E. WINFIELD.
THERE'S ONE MORE NAME TO ADD TO THAT LINEUP.
IT'S THE WINNER OF TONIGHT'S

FROM FINDING OUT WHO IS GOING TO BE THE "AGT" CHAMPION.
AND AS PART OF THEIR BRAND NEW DREAM LIFE, THEY'LL BE JOINING
OUR SPECTACULAR VEGAS SHOW. IT'S "AGT LAS VEGAS LIVE."
IT'S AT THE LUXOR, AND IT IS A BIG HIT.
JUST HEAD OVER TO NBC.COM/AGTVEGASLIVE FOR
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO GET YOUR
TICKETS. WE STILL HAVE THE INSTANT SAVE
VOTE TO COME TONIGHT. THIS YEAR WITH NINE ACTS GOING
HOME THIS WEEK, THE TENSION HAS GONE TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
CHECK IT OUT. Howie: THIS SEASON THERE ARE
MORE STARS SHINING BRIGHTER THAN IN ANY SEASON PRIOR.
Heidi: INSTEAD OF HAVING 33, WE'VE HAD 55.
Terry: THE STAKES ARE HIGHER THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN.
Simon: THE DOWNSIDE IS YOU LOSE NINE ACTS A NIGHT.
THE UPSIDE IS THERE'S DIFFERENT ENERGY IN THE AIR.
WAY MORE COMPETITIVE. Sofia: IT'S GREAT.
NOW THEY'RE NOT HOLDING BACK. THEY HAVE TO UP THEIR GAME EVERY
TIME. Terry: THE PRESSURE, THE
NERVES ARE PALPABLE. Simon: I THINK SOME PEOPLE
HAVE REALLY MESSED UP TONIGHT BECAUSE OF NERVES.
Terry: IT FEELS LIKE A FINALE EVERY WEEK.
Heidi: I'M SO EXCITED. Sofia: YOU FEEL FOR THEM.
Howie: THE CUTS ARE DISASTROUS.
I GET REALLY NERVOUS. I'M ACTUALLY ON THE END OF MY
SEAT. Terry: I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S
ON THAT CARD. I DON'T KNOW WHO AMERICA VOTED
FOR. Terry: THE ACT GOING INTO THE
FINALS IS -- CHAPEL HART. Terry: THE ENERGY IS LIKE
AWESOME, THROUGH THE ROOF. YOU LOOK OVER AND THERE'S
SOMEONE ELSE IN TEARS. Simon: FORTUNATELY AS IT
STANDS, AMERICA, I BELIEVE, HAS GOT IT RIGHT.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE'S ONLY ONE WINNER.
WHATEVER HAPPENS THIS YEAR, I CAN GUARANTEE IT WILL BE A
BETTER FINAL. THAT'S FOR SURE.
Terry: THERE IS STILL ONE SPOT OPEN IN THOSE FINALS.
YOU'LL DECIDE WHICH ACT GETS IT WITH TONIGHT'S INSTANT SAVE
VOTE. FIRST, I'LL ASK EACH OF THE
JUDGES TO PUT FORWARD AN ACT WHICH DIDN'T GET THROUGH TO THE
FINALS AND THEN YOU'LL VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE AND WHOEVER WINS
WILL BE HERE IN THE FINALS. HERE WE GO.
SIMON, WHO ARE YOU PUTTING FORWARD AS YOUR WILD CARD ACT
AND WHY? Simon: WE HAD TO MAKE THE
DECISION VERY QUICKLY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHAT HAPPENED LAST
NIGHT. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE.
I WENT WITH THE ACT WHO I LOVED THEIR AUDITION.
I LOVED WHEN WE SAW THEM ON THE LIVE SHOW FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
I THINK THEY'LL MAKE THE MOST AMAZING ADDITION TO THE FINALS
THIS YEAR. IT'S THE PLAYERS CHOIR.
Terry: PLAYERS CHOIR. WOW.
SOFIA, WHO IS YOUR WILD CARD ACT AND WHY?
Sofia: THE VENTRILOQUIST BECAUSE I THINK SHE DESERVES TO
BE HERE BECAUSE I THINK HER TALENT IS VERY SPECTACULAR AND
SHE'S VERY CREATIVE. Terry: HEIDI, WHO IS YOUR
WILD CARD AND WHY? Heidi: MY WILD CARD IS MY
GOLDEN BUZZER.
SHE'S SO AMAZING. LAST WEEK SHE CAME IN THIRD.
SHE WAS VERY CLOSE. VOTE FOR LILY.
Terry: HOWIE, WHO IS YOUR WILD CARD AND WHY?
Howie: DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOW?
Terry: YEAH. Howie: I HAVE THREE IN MY
HEAD. I THINK THIS IS A VARIETY SHOW
AND SINGERS, DANCERS AND EVERYBODY ARE WELCOME.
YOU CAN SEE SINGERS AND DANCERS ON OTHER SHOWS.
Simon: HOWIE? Howie: DON McMILLAN AND LET
ME TELL YOU WHY. BECAUSE HE'S A COMEDIAN,
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE. Simon: THIS IS A PLUG.
Howie: IT IS A PLUG. LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE
AND I THINK THAT'S THE MEDICINE AMERICA NEEDS TODAY.
WE NEED SOMEONE FUNNY. VOTE FOR DON McMILLAN.
Terry: SIMON, DO YOU FEEL COMPETITIVE?
Simon: I DO. TERRY, YOU'RE ALSO IN SPORTS.
SPORTS PEOPLE ARE COMPETITIVE. WE WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE
COMPETITIVE. Terry: THAT'S RIGHT.

VOTE. IT'S BETWEEN PLAYERS CHOIR,
CELIA MUNOZ, DON McMILLAN AND LILY MEOLA.
YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. VOTING STARTS NOW.
VOTE ONLINE OR ON THE APP AND WE'LL GET THE RESULTS LATER IN
THE SHOW. LET'S TAKE A BREATH.
SIMON, YOU HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE.
Simon: I'M EXHAUSTED. I WENT TO SEE A MUSICAL A FEW
YEARS AGO IN LONDON. I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS THE BEST
MUSICAL IN MY LIFE. IT'S WRITTEN BY THE GREATEST
SONG WRITER IN THE WORLD AND SOME OF THE OTHER GREAT SONG
WRITERS IN THE WORLD. THE MUSICAL IS CALLED "AND
JULIETTE." IT PREMIERS IN NEW YORK IN

'CAUSE I AM A CHAMPION AND YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ME ROAR *
