READY? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

Announcer: LIVE, IT'S
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" -- THE FINALS.
HERE'S YOUR HOST, TERRY CREWS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: YES! AMERICA, ARE YOU READY TO CHOOSE
A CHAMPION? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
YES, THE TOP 11 ACTS OF SEASON WILL GO HEAD TO HEAD TONIGHT.
AT STAKE IS THE GREATEST PRIZE IN SHOW BUSINESS.
IT'S WHY THE ACTS PRACTICE, REHEARSE, WORK, AND SWEAT OVER
AND OVER AGAIN FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
BUT WHO IS GOING TO DELIVER A MILLION-DOLLAR PERFORMANCE?
WHO IS WORTHY OF HEADLINING A SHOW IN VEGAS?
WE WILL FIND OUT TONIGHT. FIRST, GIVE IT UP FOR THE
WORLD'S GREATEST TALENT GURUS, YOUR "AGT" JUDGES.
HOWIE MANDEL. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
HEIDI KLUM. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
SOFIA VERGARA. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND SIMON COWELL. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
SO HERE'S THE MATH 11 ACTS ARE COMING UP, INCLUDING
4 GOLDEN BUZZERS. ONE ACT WILL BE THE "AGT"
CHAMPION. FOR EACH OF THEM, IT ALL COMES
DOWN TO ONE LAST, EPIC PERFORMANCE, AND OF COURSE YOUR
VOTES. AMERICA, ARE YOU READY?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] HERE WE GO.
ON "AGT," WE NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO CAPTURE THE AUDIENCE'S
IMAGINATION. AND THIS UNIQUE DANCER HAS DONE
JUST THAT. HER PERFORMANCES HAVE RACKED UP
ALMOST 100 MILLION VIEWS ONLINE. SHE'S FROM A VERY SMALL TOWN --
BALLARAT, IN AUSTRALIA. BUT HER MULTI-MEDIA ACROBATIC
DANCE CLASS IS WORLD CLASS. KRISTY SELLARS!
I COULD NOT BELIEVE ON THE BIGGEST STAGE IN THE WORLD YOU
CALLED OUT MY NAME TO GO THROUGH TO THE FINALS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S EMOTIONAL BECAUSE IF I
WAS TO WIN, IT WOULD MEAN I CONNECTED WITH THE AUDIENCE,
WHICH IS THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT AS AN ARTIST THAT YOU CAN GET.
Simon: YOU MIGHT BE THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO SURPRISE US ALL.
THE KIDS GET TO SEE ME PURSUING THIS DREAM AND I CAN
SHOW THEM, IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING BADLY ENOUGH, YOU WILL
FIND A WAY. I LOVE YOU.
GOOD LUCK. TONIGHT I'M PERFORMING A
PIECE I CREATED FOR MY DAUGHTER. SHE'S ABOUT TO BECOME A TEENAGER
AND GO THROUGH CHALLENGING YEARS AS SHE'S FINDING HER IDENTITY.
GOOD LUCK, MUM. I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS.
I WANT TO CREATE A GIFT FOR HER.
I HOPE ANYBODY WHO RESONATES CAN USE THAT AS A GIFT FOR THEM AS
WELL. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TOP WHAT
YOU DID LAST WEEK? THIS PERFORMANCE, I ONLY HAD
ONE WEEK TO PUT IT TOGETHER. THE PRESSURE IS HUGE.
I DO THIS BECAUSE IT'S MY PASSION.
WINNING THE SHOW WOULD BE LIFE CHANGING.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
** **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: KRISTY SELLARS! OH, WOW.
HOWIE? Howie: OMG.
THAT WAS WOW. THAT WAS AUTHENTIC.
THAT WAS PERFECTION. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I THINK THIS NOISE SAYS IT ALL. THIS WAS THE MOST HIGH-POWERED
FINALE WE EVER HAD ON "AGT." YOU JUST SET THAT BAR.
THAT BAR IS NOW VERTICAL. THAT BAR IS A POLE.
YOU, YOUNG LADY, ARE THE ONE TO BEAT TONIGHT.
Terry: HEIDI? Heidi: YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT
STORY TELLER. I HAVE SUCH ADMIRATION FOR YOU
BECAUSE YOU'RE A MOM AND YOU FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND LET US BE
PART OF YOUR DREAMS. IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE DIVING INTO
YOUR DREAMS. IT'S STUNNING.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: SOFIA?
Sofia: KRISTY, EVERY TIME YOU COME TO THE STAGE YOU GET BETTER
AND BETTER. YOU SHOW US SOMETHING EVEN MORE
AMAZING THAN THE LAST TIME. THIS IS GOING TO BE SO HARD FOR
AMERICA TODAY TO PICK WHO IS GOING TO BE THE BEST BECAUSE WE
HAVE SO MANY GOOD TALENTS AND YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST.
Terry: SIMON? Simon: I MEAN, HONESTLY,
KRISTY, I'M SITTING THERE WATCHING YOUR PERFORMANCE
THINKING WHAT DO I SAY BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS BEFORE, EVER. I MEAN, NONE OF US HAVE.
WHAT YOU DID WAS -- IT WAS ASTONISHING.
THE FACT THAT YOU CREATED ALL THE CONTENT AND THEN YOU ALSO
TOLD A STORY AND, AS SOFIA SAID, YOU WERE GREAT WHEN WE FIRST SAW
YOU. THEN YOU WENT TO INCREDIBLE.
NOW YOU'VE GONE TO AMAZING. HONESTLY THIS IS WHAT THIS FINAL
IS ALL ABOUT. I REALLY BELIEVE WE HAVE THE
BEST OF THE BEST. TO START WITH THIS ACT, WHICH
YOU'RE NOW THE ONE TO BEAT, AND FOR ANYONE TO FOLLOW THIS, THIS
IS GOING TO BE TOUGH TO BE HONEST.
I THINK YOU'RE INCREDIBLE. I'VE BEEN CUT OFF.
Terry: KRISTY, HOW DOES IT FEEL PERFORMING HERE AT THE
"AGT" FINAL? I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL TO
EVERYONE WHO VOTED ME THROUGH SO THAT I COULD TELL YOU THIS STORY
AND HAVE THIS CHANCE ON THIS STAGE.
Terry: THANK YOU. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, KRISTY.
OKAY, TONIGHT YOU ARE VOTING FOR YOUR CHAMPION.
VOTING IS OPEN NOW, AND IT WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL 7:00 A.M.
EASTERN TOMORROW. VOTE ONLINE AT NBC.COM, OR USE
THE "AGT" APP. WHOEVER WINS WILL BE YOUR
WINNER, SO MAKE YOUR VOTES COUNT.
MORE INCREDIBLE FINALISTS ARE COMING UP.
STAY RIGHT THERE. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: COMING UP --
Simon: ONE OF THE BEST WE'VE EVER SEEN.
Sofia: 36 WOMEN DANCING AT ONCE.
MAGIC.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: THIS ACT IS FROM
PARIS, FRANCE. IN HIS NATIVE FRENCH, HE'S A
PRSTIDIGITATEUR. TO YOU AND ME, HE'S A MAGICIAN.
BUT IN ANY LANGUAGE, HE IS EXTRAORDINARY.
Terry: NICOLAS RIBS. WHEN YOUR DAUGHTER ASKED YOU
TO AUDITION, DID YOU EVER THINK YOU WOULD END UP HERE?
[ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ] HE IS A BIT NERVOUS.
THERE'S A LOT OF COMPETITION. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE YOUR
DAD IN THE "AGT" FINALS TONIGHT? IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.
HE'S A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ME. HE NEVER STOPPED FOLLOWING HIS
DREAM. HE ALWAYS TOLD ME TO DO THE SAME
THING. YOU WILLING TO MAKE THIS THE
FAMILY BUSINESS AND TEACH HER? [ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
I HAVE FOUR DAUGHTERS, SO I UNDERSTAND.
FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE TONIGHT, DID YOU TAKE THINGS UP TO
ANOTHER LEVEL? [ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] MY DAUGHTER DREW THIS FOR ME
WHEN SHE WAS JUST 7 YEARS OLD. I KEEP IT CLOSE TO REMIND ME OF
FAMILY. I HAD AN IDEA.
WHAT IF I COULD MAKE A DRAWING TO COME LIFE?
[ HEARTBEAT ]
** **
[ HEARTBEAT ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THE REAL MAGIC IS FAMILY.
THANK YOU. Terry: NICOLAS RIBS!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] HEIDI, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET.
YOU LOVED THAT. Heidi: I LOVE THAT BECAUSE
YOU REALLY ARE DIFFERENT. THE LAST TIME I ASKED YOU TO
SHOW US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOU, GIVE US A LITTLE MORE OF
YOUR PERSONALITY, TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
YOU DID EXACTLY THAT. WHAT YOU'RE ALSO DOING IS GIVING
US A NEW KIND OF MAGIC. YOU INVENTED A DIFFERENT KIND OF
MAGIC WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I'M A HUGE FAN.
THANK YOU. Terry: SOFIA?
Sofia: NICOLAS, I'M SO GLAD YOU REALLY DECIDED TO COME AND
FOLLOW YOUR DREAM BECAUSE YOUR MAGIC IS SO UNIQUE.
I FEEL LIKE THE WORLD NEEDED, DESERVED TO EXPERIENCE WHAT YOU
KNOW HOW TO DO. THANK YOU.
Sofia: I HOPE AMERICA VOTES
FOR YOU TONIGHT. YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
Terry: SIMON? Simon: STATING THE OBVIOUS,
TONIGHT EVERYBODY HAS TO BE BETTER THAN THE PERFORMANCE WE
SAW BEFORE. I DON'T THINK THAT WAS.
Sofia: WHAT? Simon: I DIDN'T, NO.
PART OF THE REASON WAS THE MUSIC REALLY BOTHERED ME.
IT REMINDED ME OF AN AUNT PLAYING THE PIANO, YOU KNOW,
AFTER LUNCH. IT WAS TOO --
[ AUDIENCE BOOS ] -- DIDN'T HELP THE STORY.
WE'RE NOT VOTING. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE SAY.
IT'S JUST I'M PERSONALLY A LITTLE LET DOWN.
Terry: HOWIE, GO QUICK. Howie: I'VE NEVER HEARD AN
AUNT PLAY A PIANO AFTER LUNCH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING
ABOUT. YOU MADE THE IMPOSSIBLE LOOK
POSSIBLE. THAT WAS AMAZING.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, NICOLAS.
DO YOU WANT NICOLAS TO WIN? THEN VOTE FOR HIM.
YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR EACH ACT WITH EACH VOTING
METHOD. AND THAT IS A LOT OF POWER.
SO GET BUSY AND MAKE SURE YOUR FAVORITE WINS.
AFTER THE BREAK, THESE THREE SINGERS HAVE BEEN WAITING A LONG
TIME FOR A SHOT AT STARDOM. CAN CHAPEL HART DELIVER A
TITLE-WINNING PERFORMANCE? FIND OUT WHEN WE COME BACK.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: THESE SINGERS GOT THE GOLDEN BUZZER FROM ALL OF US AT
THE AUDITIONS. THEY'RE FROM POPLARVILLE,
MISSISSIPPI, AND THEY'VE BEEN HOLDING ONTO THEIR DREAM SINCE
THEY WERE YOUNG KIDS. IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN EASY,
BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AT THE HEART OF WHO THEY ARE.
Terry: CHAPEL HART! EVERYTHING WE DREAMED AS
LITTLE GIRLS WHEN WE WERE RUNNING AROUND SINGING COUNTRY
MUSIC AND EVERYBODY WAS LIKE Y'ALL ARE CRAZY.
THAT WAS THE HUG FROM THE WORLD WE NEEDED.
NOT ONLY WAS IT THE WORLD, BUT IT WAS SOME OF THE PEOPLE
YOU ADMIRED. DOLLY PARTON, TANYA TUCKER.
I DIDN'T KNOW DREAMS COMING TRUE COULD BE A MOMENT.
WE HAVE ANOTHER COUNTRY ARTIST HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
SONG CHOICE IS PROBABLY EVERYTHING.
WE SHOWED YOU WE CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME.
WE'VE SHOWN OUR SASSY SIDE. AMERICA HAS GIVEN US THE
VALIDATION WE NEEDED. TONIGHT WE'LL BE PERFORMING OUR
ORIGINAL SONG "AMERICAN PRIDE." WE HAVE TO DO THIS SONG.
CAN YOU SUM UP YOUR WHOLE "AGT" EXPERIENCE IN ONE
SENTENCE? I CAN SUM IT UP IN TWO
WORDS -- LIFE CHANGING. WE'VE GOTTEN OPPORTUNITIES
THAT WE DIDN'T THINK WERE POSSIBLE AND I FEEL SO BLESSED
TO HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH Y'ALL.
I'M JUST EXCITED. IT'S CHANGED EVERYTHING, BUT
WE AIN'T DONE YET. WE ARE READY TO TAKE THIS THING
ON HOME. WE'RE READY TO WIN IT ALL.
HERE WE GO. HERE WE GO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
* GREW UP IN AMERICA AT A TIME IT WENT SO FAST *
* WE WERE RAISED AND DID THE BEST WITH WHAT WE HAD *
* WE HAD IT ALL, LOVING NEIGHBORS, LAND AND FREEDOM *
* WE'VE GOT A STORY DIFFERENT I SUPPOSE *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: CHAPEL HART, AMERICA!
WOW. SOFIA?
Sofia: WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU GIRLS
PERFORMING. IT'S A GROUP THAT MAKES EVERYONE
EXCITED. IT'S ALWAYS SO HEARTFELT.
WE'RE ALWAYS SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE.
Terry: SIMON, YOU WERE ON YOUR FEET.
Simon: I WAS ON MY FEET BECAUSE IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN
AN AUDITION, I WOULD HAVE STOPPED YOU AND SAID LET'S GO
BACK TO THAT CHORUS AND DO IT ACAPELLA SO I COULD HEAR IT
PROPERLY.
AFTER 9/11, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE TO SEND OUT ON THE MOST
IMPORTANT NIGHT OF YOUR LIVES. YOU HAVE MY UTMOST RESPECT AND I
LOVE HEARING PEOPLE LIKE YOU SINGING ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE
YOUR COUNTRY. AND I THINK -- OKAY, SOME OF THE
VOCALS WERE A BIT OFF BECAUSE OF NERVES.
FORGET THAT. I REALLY, REALLY LIKE YOU.
I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT YOU DID WHAT YOU DID TONIGHT.
GOOD FOR YOU. Terry: HOWIE?
Howie: I AGREE WITH YOU, SOME OF THE VOCALS WERE OFF.
MAYBE BECAUSE YOU WERE EMOTIONAL AND THERE WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE.
I THINK AMERICA IS GOING TO LIKE THIS SONG.
THE LAST TWO SONGS YOU DID WERE TEN TIMES --
Simon: I THINK THAT CHORUS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
I REALLY DO. Howie: LAST TIME THE WHOLE
THING WAS BEAUTIFUL. PEOPLE HAVE TO VOTE.
Terry: CHAPEL HART, AT THE AUDITIONS YOU SAID THAT COUNTRY
MUSIC DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU. HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW?
TERRY, TONIGHT, TO AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD, WE
FEEL SEEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
LADIES. ALL OF THE ACTS WANT TO WIN, BUT
IT'S UP TO YOU, AND ONLY YOU, TO DECIDE WHO TAKES THE TITLE.
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE START A BRAND-NEW LIFE TOMORROW?
VOTE ONLINE OR ON THE "AGT" APP, BUT VOTE.
COMING UP, THE ONLY COMEDIAN LEFT IN THE COMPETITION.
AND LATER, SIMON'S GOLDEN BUZZER.
IT'S MIKE E. WINFIELD AND SARA JAMES.
STAY RIGHT THERE. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, HAS WORKED FOR DECADES TO DEVELOP HIS
TALENT. NOW JUST THREE MINUTES COULD
CHANGE HIS ENTIRE LIFE. Terry: MIKE E. WINFIELD!
TODAY IS THE DAY. THIS IS THE DAY WE RIP OFF
THE SHIRT. IT'S THE DAY YOU LEAVE IT ALL
THERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE WITH ANY
REGRET. NO COMEDIAN HAS EVER WON.
YOU COULD BE THAT PERSON. JUST THE TITLE ALONE.
I COULD SAY I'M THE FUNNIEST PERSON THIS YEAR ON "AGT."
IT LETS PEOPLE KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN PLAYED.
THEY'RE GOING TO SEE THIS POLISHED PRODUCT.
IT'S ONE THING I NEED AMERICA TO KNOW IS HOW HARD IT IS TO DO
STAND-UP IN TWO TO THREE MINUTES.
IS IT STRANGE SEEING A MICROPHONE HOLDING A MICROPHONE?
Howie: IF YOU DON'T GET VOTED THROUGH TO THE FINALS, YOU COME
OPEN UP FOR ME. I HAVE A FEELING YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT THIS,
BROTHER? OH, MAN.
I NEED IT. THIS IS A PIVOTAL MOMENT OF MY
COMEDIAN LIFE. I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW
SET. YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN ABOUT
HOW "AGT" IS AFFECTING MY LIFE. I KNOW I'M TAKING A RISK BECAUSE
IT'S NEW MATERIAL. I JUST BELIEVE AMERICA IS GOING
TO LOVE IT. I KNOW I COULD WIN THIS ENTIRE
THING. I KNOW I COULD DO IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: HERE FOR THE WIN, MIKE
E. WINFIELD. * Y'ALL GONNA MAKE ME LOSE MY
MIND * * UP IN HERE, UP IN HERE *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] HEY.
THANK YOU, AMERICA, FOR WATCHING US.
YES. GUESS WHAT?
IT'S ALREADY CHANGING MY LIFE. PEOPLE ARE RECOGNIZING ME.
I LOVE IT. PEOPLE SAY SOME WILD STUFF.
MAN, YOU UM, YOU UM -- I'M SORRY.
I'M GOOD WITH FACES. I'M NOT GOOD WITH NAMES.
OBVIOUSLY THAT CAN'T HAPPEN THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
NO ONE IS GOING TO ROLL UP TO YOU AND SAY, LOOK, MAN, I DON'T
RECOGNIZE YOU, BUT YOU'RE MIKE E. WINFIELD.
I'M GOOD WITH NAMES. THIS LADY TOLD ME I LOVE YOU,
YOU'RE SO HAPPY. I'M LIKE NO, MA'AM.
I JUST GOOD BIG TEETH. PEOPLE THINK I'M HAPPY BECAUSE
MY TEETH ARE BIG. THEY'RE LIKE MIKE, YOU'RE SO
POSITIVE ABOUT LIFE. YOU SMILING ALL THE TIME.
NO, WHEN I CLOSE MY MOUTH, IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE.
IT HURTS. YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE?
WINDY DAYS BECAUSE MY GUMS GET DRY.
THEY DON'T MAKE STUFF FOR THAT. YOU CAN'T WALK INSIDE THE
PHARMACY. YO, MY MAN, YOU GOT SOME GUM
MOISTURIZER? MY LIP IS STUCK.
HERE'S THE QUESTION I GET THE MOST.
DO YOU REALLY HAVE AN OLDER STEPSON NAMED STEPMAN?
YES. DID YOU REALLY LEAVE YOUR BABY
IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CAR SEAT?
LET ME PUT EVERYONE AT EASE. WE WALKED HIM HOME.
HERE'S ALSO WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW.
DO YOU HAVE OTHER CHILDREN TOGETHER?
YES. WE HAVE A 12-YEAR-OLD.
WE CALL HIM REAL KID. HE'S 12.
REAL KID HAS ANGER ISSUES, MAN. OH, MAN, WE DIDN'T KNOW AT
FIRST. HE'S LIKE ALL YOU DO IS TELL
JOKES ABOUT STEPMAN. I'M LIKE DO SOMETHING FUNNY
THEN. I REMEMBER WHEN REAL KID WAS
BORN. YOU LEARN STUFF ABOUT CHILDREN.
DID YOU KNOW IF YOU BREAST FEED YOU CAN STRENGTHEN A CHILD'S
IMMUNE SYSTEM? IT WORKS.
I HAVEN'T BEEN SICK SINCE HE WAS BORN.
I DON'T EVEN COUGH ANYMORE. THE MOST HEART WARMING FEELING
WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD, I THINK, IS WHEN THEY HAND YOU YOUR CHILD
FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YOU SEE THAT RESEMBLANCE.
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT WHEN YOU'RE LIKE, WOW, SHE WAS AT THE
MALL. NO, NO.
THE RESEMBLANCE WAS UNCANNY. THE DOCTORS COULDN'T EVEN
BELIEVE IT. THEY WERE LIKE, OH, MY GOD, THIS
BABY GOT TEETH ALREADY. THEY SAY WHO CUT THE CORD?
THEY'RE LIKE THE BABY BIT IT. HEY YOU GUYS, I'M MIKE E.
WINFIELD. GOOD NIGHT, AMERICA.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: MIKE E. WINFIELD!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] SIMON, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET, MAN.
Simon: MIKE, IN MY OPINION YOU JUST DID "IT."
WHATEVER YOU NEEDED TO DO, YOU DID IT.
YOU WERE SO FUNNY. YOU KIND OF GOT THIS WAY OF,
LIKE, YEAH, I'M JUST BEING SO CASUAL, BUT YOU'RE NOT.
YOU'RE SO LASER FOCUSED. YOU'RE SO SHARP.
YOU'RE SO FUNNY. YOU'RE SO ON IT.
THIS WAS MAGIC. YOU REALLY JUST NOW, I BELIEVE,
HAVE GIVEN YOURSELF A SHOT AT WINNING THIS SHOW.
Terry: HOWIE? Howie: I AGREE WITH
EVERYTHING THAT SIMON SAID. I LOVE YOUR POISE.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU -- YOU COME OUT HERE LIKE A SUPERSTAR.
I TELL YOU YOUR LIFE IS ALREADY CHANGED.
THE ONLY DIRECTION IS UP. I HOPE YOU WIN.
I WANT YOU TO WIN. I WANT PEOPLE TO VOTE WITH YOU.
I STILL WANT YOU TO WORK WITH ME.
I WILL. I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU.
Terry: HEIDI, DID YOU LIKE IT?
Heidi: I DID. THE STORY ABOUT YOUR FAMILY
ALONE SOUNDS LIKE A SITCOM. MAYBE THAT'S NEXT.
YOU HAVE AN AMAZING LOOK. YOU'RE FUNNY.
WE LOVE YOU. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.
Terry: SOFIA? Sofia: MIKE, YOU FEEL AND
LOOK LIKE A STAR. I MEAN, YOU ARE AMAZING AND
RELATABLE.
I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
YOU WANT TO BE MY FRIEND? LET'S HANG OUT.
Terry: MIKE, DO YOU THINK REAL KID IS GOING TO APPRECIATE
BEING MENTIONED IN YOUR ACT TONIGHT?
REAL KID IS GOING TO LOVE IT. HE WANTS MORE JOKES ABOUT HIM.
HE'S GOING TO APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, MIKE.
11 ACTS ARE PERFORMING TONIGHT. VOTING IS OPEN NOW AND CLOSES AT
7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WINNER.
MAKE SURE IT'S THE ACT YOU WANT. STILL TO COME, METAPHYSIC'S
FACES THEIR TOUGHEST CHALLENGE WITH THEIR AMAZING TECH.
AND LATER, MAGICIAN YU HOJIN SETS OUT TO BLOW YOUR MINDS.
STAY RIGHT THERE. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: WHEN THIS ACT BURST
ONTO THE SCENE AT THE AUDITIONS, THEY GOT EVERYBODY TALKING AND
SIMON COWELL SINGING. BUT CAN THEIR INCREDIBLE
TECHNOLOGY MAKE THEM CHAMPIONS? THIS IS THEIR SHOT.
Terry: METAPHYSICS! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
METAPHYSICS, YOU MADE THE "AGT" FINALS.
HOW DO YOU TOP YOUR LAST PERFORMANCE?
THE PERFORMANCE IN THE FINALS ARE AMAZING.
IT'S THE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION THEY MAKE WITH THE CROWD.
THAT'S SOMETHING VERY DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE.
FOR THE FINAL, IT'S LIKE A ROLL OF THE DICE.
WE'LL BRING BACK AN AMERICAN ICON, ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS
CELEBRITIES IN THE WORLD. THIS HAS TO BE A PHENOMENAL
THING. PEOPLE REMEMBER THIS PERSON.
IT HAS TO BE PERFECT. IT COULD BE A GAMBLE.
WE'RE GOING ALL IN. WE'VE BEEN PUSHING THE
TECHNOLOGY AS FAR AS IT CAN GO. IF YOU COMPARE TO WHAT WE DID
IN THE AUDITION, THE QUALITY IS SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
WHEN THE TECHNOLOGY MELTS AWAY AND YOU CAPTURE THAT EMOTIONAL
MOMENT IN YOUR MIND, THAT'S WHAT VEGAS IS ABOUT.
YOU COULD WIN THE VEGAS LIVE SHOW.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
I THINK THE QUESTION IS, TERRY, ARE YOU READY TO BE IN
VEGAS SINGING EVERY WEEK? WE WANT TO WIN.
WE WANT TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE CAN DO.
WE WANT TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE.
I THINK WE'RE UP FOR IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
** THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE WITH
YOU ALL ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK TOM, CHRIS AND METAPHYSIC TONIGHT.
WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BIGGEST RECORDS TONIGHT.
THIS FIRST ONE IS A LOVE SONG. * YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUND
DOG CRYING ALL THE TIME * * YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUND
DOG CRYING ALL THE TIME * * YOU AIN'T NEVER CAUGHT A
RABBIT AND YOU AIN'T NO FRIEND OF MINE *
* THEY SAID YOU WAS HIGH CLASS * * WELL THAT WAS JUST A LIE *
* YOU AIN'T NEVER CAUGHT A RABBIT AND YOU AIN'T NO FRIEND
OF MINE * * YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUND
DOG CRYING ALL THE TIME * * YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUND
DOG CRYING ALL THE TIME * * WELL, YOU AIN'T NEVER CAUGHT A
RABBIT * * YOU AIN'T NO FRIEND OF MINE *
* YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL * * WALK LIKE AN ANGEL *
* TALK LIKE AN ANGEL * * BUT I GOT WISE, YOU'RE THE
DEVIL IN DISGUISE * * DEVIL IN DISGUISE *
* YOU FOOL ME WITH YOUR KISSES * * HEAVEN KNOWS HOW YOU DID IT *
* LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL * * WALK LIKE AN ANGEL *
* TALK LIKE AN ANGEL * * BUT I GOT WISE, YOU'RE THE
DEVIL IN DISGUISE * * OH, YES, YOU ARE *
* DEVIL IN DISGUISE * * YOU ARE THE DEVIL IN
DISGUISE * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: METAPHYSICS! HEIDI, YOU WERE SINGING.
Heidi: IT IS SO GOOD. IT IS BEYOND GOOD.
FIRST OF ALL, CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW GOOD I WAS?
I WAS AMAZING. I WAS SO AMAZING.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SOUNDED THIS GOOD IN MY LIFE.
IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE KING OF POP AGAIN AND ALSO ELVIS.
NO, YOU GUYS WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ACT SO FAR OF THE NIGHT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Terry: SOFIA, HOW DO YOU
THINK YOU DID? Sofia: I DID AMAZING, BUT NOT
AS AMAZING AS HEIDI. I THINK IT'S SO MUCH FUN WHEN
YOU GUYS COME TO THE SHOW BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING SO
DIFFERENT AND THIS YEAR, THIS SEASON, I MEAN, THE RANGE OF
ACTS. IT'S GOING TO BE SO HARD FOR
PEOPLE TO VOTE AND FOR SOMEONE TO WIN.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER, EVER HAD ON "AGT."
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. Terry: SIMON, WAS YOUR MIND
BLOWN, MAN? Simon: EVERYTHING WAS BLOWN.
I THINK -- YOU KNOW, LET'S REMEMBER WHAT THIS NIGHT IS ALL
ABOUT. IT'S ABOUT WINNING.
IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY. MORE IMPORTANTLY IT'S ABOUT
BEING IN VEGAS. THIS, IN MY OPINION, IS PROBABLY
THE MOST INCREDIBLE, ORIGINAL ACT WE'VE EVER HAD.
EVER. I MEAN, IT'S -- YOU KNOW, YOU
ARE, IN MY OPINION, WITH YOUR -- YOU'RE SO CREATIVE.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW IN VEGAS.
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. THE LUXOR HOTEL, YOU'RE WATCHING
THIS. GET READY.
THIS IS IT. Terry: SIMON?
Simon: I'LL SAY WHAT BILLY CRYSTAL ALWAYS SAYS.
YOU LOOKED MARVELOUS. Terry: HOW DID YOU DO THIS?
IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT. WE WANTED TO MAKE PEOPLE SMILE
AND BRING THEM INTO THAT MOMENT AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR
GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GENTLEMEN.
THIS IS FOR THE TITLE. THERE'S NO INSTANT SAVE, NO MORE
WILDCARDS. IT'S ALL OR NOTHING TONIGHT.
SO GET BUSY ONLINE OR ON THE APP AND VOTE FOR METAPHYSIC IF YOU
WANT THEM TO WIN. COMING UP, THIS ASTONISHING
DANCE TROOP WILL HAVE JUST A FEW MINUTES TO WIN YOUR VOTES AND
MAYBE THE WHOLE COMPETITION. IT'S THE MAYYAS WHEN WE RETURN.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: HERE'S AN ACT THAT HAS REWRITTEN WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS
POSSIBLE WITH A DANCE TROOP. WHEN THEY FIRST APPEARED AT THE
AUDITIONS, SOFIA WAS SO IMPRESSED SHE HIT THE GOLDEN
BUZZER. BRINGING THEIR ART FROM LEBANON
TO THE WHOLE WORLD HAS NOT BEEN EASY, BUT TONIGHT THEY COULD WIN
IT ALL. Terry: THE MAYYAS.
MY DREAM WAS TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL DANCER.
IN LEBANON CLASS DANCES ARE VERY RESTRICTED.
IT'S GIVING US A BIG PUSH FOR THE FUTURE.
YOU GUYS READY TO MOVE TO LAS VEGAS?
All: YES. I'M COMING TO THE SHOW.
YOUR PERFORMANCE TRULY IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS I HAVE
EVER SEEN. Simon: THIS IS NOT JUST GOING
TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. THIS IS THE PERFORMANCE THAT
CHANGES THE WORLD. THIS REALLY MAKES ME PROUD.
THIS REALLY -- IT'S OKAY.
THEY SACRIFICED A LOT TO BE HERE.
THIS MEANS A LOT TO US. WE, AS THE YOUNGER GENERATION,
WE CONTROL THE IMAGE OF PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER FOR ONE PURPOSE.
WE WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE THAT WITH ENERGY COMES POWER.
THE MAYYAS IS NOT JUST THE
MAYYAS. WE PRESENT A NATION AND ALL OUR
WOMEN. WE KNOW THERE'S ONLY ONE WINNER.
WE HOPE THAT OUR PERFORMANCE TONIGHT WILL BE THE BEST ONE.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
** **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: THE MAYYAS!
SOFIA, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER. LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] YOU GOTTA USE THE MIC.
YOU GOTTA USE THE MICROPHONE. Sofia: THERE IS NOTHING THAT
I CAN SAY BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST THING THAT HAS TOOK THE
STAGE OF "AGT." THIS IS SO SPECTACULAR.
Terry: HEIDI? Heidi: THIS IS WHAT A
MILLION-DOLLAR ACT LOOKS LIKE. YOU BROUGHT YOUR "A" GAME EVERY
TIME YOU CAME. TONIGHT IT WAS "A PLUS."
Terry: SIMON? Simon: I'M STATING THE
OBVIOUS HERE, TERRY. THIS WAS ASTONISHING.
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED WITH YOU
WHERE I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL A BUZZ BEYOND THE SHOW.
THIS HAS LANDED. IT'S GOING TO GROW AND IT'S
GOING TO BECOME GLOBAL. IT'S HUGE.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN TOP THAT. Terry: HOWIE?
Howie: WINNER, WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.
YOU GOT TO VOTE, AMERICA. THIS IS MY FAVORITE ACT EVER ON
"AGT." SO GREAT FOR YOU.
IT'S GREAT FOR WOMEN, FEMALE EMPOWERMENT, YOUR CULTURE.
Terry: YOUR WHOLE COUNTRY HAS RALLIED BEHIND YOU SINCE THE
AUDITION. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO ALL
YOUR SUPPORTERS? WE MADE IT THIS FAR BECAUSE
OF YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, LADIES.
LISTEN, YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN MAKE THE MAYYAS
CHAMPIONS. SO USE THE "AGT" APP, GET
ONLINE, DO WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT TO DO, AND VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.
THEY NEED YOU. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: COMING UP --
Howie: YOU HAVE GROWN BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.
YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR. Sofia: THE WAY YOU LOOK, THE
WAY YOU SOUND, THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAT YOU CAN DO.
Simon: I AM ACTUALLY VERY
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
BUZZER. HE'S FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AND
I LOVE THIS GUY. WHEN HE PLAYS, I GET GOOSE
BUMPS. HE'S THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR PASSION NO MATTER WHAT.
Terry: AVERY DIXON! WHEN I FIRST AUDITIONED, I
WAS BROKEN AT THAT TIME. I HAD BEEN BULLIED TO THE POINT
WHERE I ALMOST COMMITTED SUICIDE.
MY MOM SIGNED ME UP FOR "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
YOU WENT OVER SO MANY OBSTACLES.
YOU'RE PREMATURE. YOUR LUNGS WERE UNDER DEVELOPED,
YET YOU PLAYED THE SAXOPHONE. I GOT THE GOLDEN BUZZER AND
ALL THE DOUBT WENT AWAY. YOU WENT FROM PEOPLE CALLING
THE COPS ON YOU FOR PRACTICING TO WANTING TO TAKE A PICTURE
WITH YOU. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, THERE
WERE A LOT OF SURPRISES. WE THE MEMBERS OF THE ATLANTA
CITY COUNCIL PRESENT TODAY AS AVERY DIXON DAY.
I TOLD YOU YOUR BULLIES WOULD HAVE TO WATCH YOU SUCCEED.
THIS IS IT. Simon: SINCE WE FIRST MET
YOU, SOMETHING HAS CHANGED. I CAN SEE MYSELF.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU WANT SOMETHING SO BAD YOU CAN FEEL IT.
I WANT TO WIN. IT'S SOMETHING I CAN FEEL
BETWEEN MY FINGERS. THIS HAS TO BE MY GREATEST
PERFORMANCE. IT'S ALSO GOING TO PROVE WHAT I
CAN DO, NOT ONLY AS A PERFORMING, BUT AS A PERSON.
IT'S GOING TO BE RISKY. I'M GOING TO TRY NEW THINGS.
TONIGHT IT'S EVERYTHING. THIS HAS TO BE THE ONE THAT WINS
IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* AIN'T NOBODY LOVES ME BETTER * * AIN'T NOBODY LOVES ME BETTER
THAN YOU * * AIN'T NOBODY LOVES ME BETTER *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: AVERY DIXON, MY GOLDEN
BUZZER AND MY LITTLE BROTHER! SOFIA?
Sofia: AVERY, IT'S LIKE -- EVERY TIME THAT I LISTEN TO
YOU -- I DON'T KNOW. I GET RELAXED.
I WANT TO HAVE A DRINK. HAVE A DRINK.
Sofia: I LOVE IT. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT
MAKES ALL OF US LOVE YOU. THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Terry: SIMON?
Simon: I SAW YOU LAST WEEK AND I SAW HOW EXCITED YOU WERE
TO BE READY FOR THE FINAL. I SAW THIS LOOK IN YOUR EYE,
WHICH WAS -- YOU'VE GOT THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS LIKE?
THAT WAS LIKE BEING FOR THREE MINUTES AT YOUR CONCERT.
YOU ABSOLUTELY CONTROLLED THE STAGE, THE TEMPO, THE TRACK,
EVERYTHING. I LOVE THE CHANGED OF THE
INSTRUMENT. THANK YOU.
Simon: IT WAS A BRILLIANT SONG CHOICE AS WELL.
AVERY, YOU REALLY, REALLY NAILED IT.
Terry: HEIDI? Heidi: I LOVE YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU, YOU TOOK ALL THE ROAD BLOCKS
LAYING IN YOUR WAY AND MADE YOUR OWN PATH AND IT'S WORKING.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF
YOURSELF. THANK YOU.
Terry: AVERY, FROM THAT YOUNG MAN WHO SHOWED UP AT THE
AUDITION TO THE NOW AT THE "AGT" FINALS, HOW HAS THIS EXPERIENCED
CHANGED YOUR LIFE? THIS EXPERIENCE HAS TURNED ME
FROM LOCAL TALENT TO "AGT" ROYALTY.
THIS IS AMAZING. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
AVERY. LISTEN, VOTE ONLINE AT NBC.COM.
VOTE ON THE "AGT" APP. YOUR VOTES CAN CHANGE AVERY'S
LIFE TONIGHT. THE ACTS WANT TO WIN, AND YOU
CAN MAYBE HELP YOUR FAVORITE WALK AWAY WITH THE TITLE IF YOU
VOTE. STILL TO COME, THE VENTRILOQUIST
WHO YOU PUT INTO THE FINALS WITH LAST WEEK'S INSTANT SAVE.
CAN SHE GO ON TO WIN? IT'S CELIA MUNOZ WHEN WE COME
BACK. **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: YOU VOTED THIS
VENTRILOQUIST THROUGH TO THE FINALS IN LAST WEEK'S INSTANT
SAVE. CAN SHE GET YOU TO VOTE FOR HER
AGAIN AND GET THE WIN? FROM MADRID, SPAIN, IT'S CELIA
MUNOZ. WHEN YOU WERE ON THAT STAGE
AND YOUR NAME WASN'T CALLED, WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR
MIND? I WAS HEART BROKEN.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE. Terry: THERE IS STILL ONE
SPOT OPEN IN THOSE FINALS. SINCE THE MOMENT I HEART THAT
THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF A WILD CARD, I'VE BEEN PRACTICING.
Terry: CELIA MUNOZ! THANK YOU, SOFIA.
THANK YOU, AMERICA. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE. I GOT INTO VENN TRIL KWICHL
AND NOW I'M HERE. IT'S LIKE DESTINY.
TONIGHT TO MAKE THIS PERFORMANCE EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE, MY
STRATEGY IS TO COMBINE BOTH THINGS I LOVE THE MOST, THE
OPERA AND VENN TRIL KWICHL. I HAVE TO BRING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT TO SURPRISE -- A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC.
THIS ACT WAS MEANT TO BE IN THE FINALS.
I BELIEVE IN IT SO MUCH. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
TONIGHT WE ARE BRINGING BACK THE SPIRIT OF THE GREATEST OPERA
SINGER OF ALL TIME, MARIA. MARIA, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME,
APPEAR TO US. [ THUNDER ]
MARIA?
[ SINGING IN NON-ENGLISH ] [ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
[ SINGING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
[ SPEAKING IN NON-ENGLISH ]
UNBELIEVABLE. TO YOUR HEALTH, MARIA.
[ SINGING IN NON-ENGLISH ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: CELIA MUNOZ! THAT WAS GREAT.
SIMON, INCREDIBLE. Simon: CELIA, THE ONLY
DOWNSIDE ABOUT TONIGHT IS HOW SMUG SOFIA IS RIGHT NOW ON MY
RIGHT-HAND SIDE. I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
CELIA, THIS WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT YOU DID A COUPLE WEEKS
AGO. THANK YOU.
Simon: FOR ME IT'S IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE.
IT WAS CLEVER, FRIGHTENING, FUNNY, CREATIVE.
I MEAN, GENIUS. THANK YOU.
Terry: SOFIA, YOUR WILD CARD PICK.
Sofia: I AM SO GLAD THAT AMERICA BROUGHT YOU BACK.
YOUR COMEDY, YOUR OPERA, IT'S AN ACT THAT IS SO FUN AND COMPLETE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
Terry: HOWIE? Howie: YOU'RE LIKE A CLASSIC
VAUDEVILLE PERFORMER WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN YEARS, BUT DOING
SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YOU CREATE THESE SCENES AND
THERE'S MAGIC AND COMEDY. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING A
VENTRILOQUIST COULD WANT AND MORE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
PUPPETS. THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL.
Terry: HEIDI? Heidi: YOU'RE A RARE TALENT.
I'M SO GLAD YOU HAD THAT SECOND CHANCE.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU TONIGHT. Terry: NOW AMERICA GAVE YOU A
SECOND CHANCE TO WIN "AGT." HOW DOES IT FEEL BEING AMERICA'S
WILD CARD PICK? I MEAN, I COULDN'T -- IT WAS
UNBELIEVABLE WHEN YOU CALLED ME. I THANK EVERYONE THAT VOTED FOR
ME. I'M SO HAPPY, SO THANKFUL.
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
CELIA. OKAY, VEGAS AND $1 MILLION IS
WAITING FOR THE WINNER. YOU HAVE UNTIL 7:00 A.M. EASTERN
TOMORROW TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITES.
DON'T BE SITTING THERE TOMORROW NIGHT, WATCHING SOMEBODY ELSE
TAKE THE TITLE. VOTE NOW, TONIGHT.
AFTER THE BREAK, A SINGER WHO'S COME ALL THE WAY FROM POLAND TO
PURSUE HER DREAM AND A MAGICIAN FROM SOUTH KOREA WHO'S HOPING TO
WIN HIS. IT'S SARA JAMES AND LATER,
YU HOJIN. STAY RIGHT THERE.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: TOMORROW WE'LL HAVE A NEW CHAMPION, THE WINNER WILL
WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING WITH A WHOLE NEW LIFE AND, LET ME TELL
YOU, IT'S GOING TO BE A SPECTACULAR "AGT" FINALE.
WE'VE GOT THE BLACK EYED PEAS, DARIUS RUCKER, JON PARDI, "AGT"
CHAMPIONS TERRY FATOR, DARCI LYNNE.
IT ALL STARTS ONE HOUR LATER THAN USUAL, AT 9:00 EASTERN.
NOW, SIMON COWELL NOW KNOWS HOW TO PICK SINGERS.
THIS SINGER IS AMAZING. SHE'S COME ALL THE WAY FROM
POLAND. SHE IS SARA JAMES.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE IN THE FINALS.
I'M FROM A VILLAGE IN POLAND. I ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT GOING TO
AMERICA. WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING YOU
DID WHEN YOU HIT HOLLYWOOD? I WAS LOOKING FOR BEYONCE.
I WAS LIKE BEYONCE, WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE ARE YOU? I CAME.
WHERE ARE YOU? I ATE CHICKEN WINGS FOR THE
FIRST TIME. FOR THE FIRST TIME?
YEAH. IT'S GOOD.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL HERE.
I LOVE AMERICA. I HOPE AMERICA LOVES ME TOO.
SINCE I WAS LITTLE I ALWAYS WANTED TO PERFORM ON STAGE.
THE FACT THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE WATCHING, THAT'S JUST SO
CRAZY. I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT
AMERICA GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO WIN.
THE SONG I'M SINGING IN THE FINALS IS TO PUT MY STORY BEHIND
THE LYRICS AND JUST BE MORE. IT WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE.
I'M SHAKING. I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST AND SHOW
AMERICA THAT I DESERVE IT AND HOPEFULLY TO MAKE SIMON PROUD.
HE BETTER BE PROUD OF ME. YOU BETTER BE PROUD OF ME.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * DO YOU FEEL YOU IT FEELS *
* DO YOU WANT TO KNOW * * IT DOESN'T HURT ME *
* DO YOU WANT TO HEAR HOW IT FEELS *
* IT'S YOU AND ME * * I MAKE A DEAL WITH GOD *
* YOU'RE RUNNING UP THE ROAD, BE RUNNING UP THAT HILL *
* OH * * YOU WANNA HURT ME *
* THERE'S TOO MUCH HATE FOR THE ONES WE LOVE *
* TELL ME * * YOU *
* IT'S YOU AND ME * * IF WE ONLY COULD MAKE A DEAL
WITH GOD AND GET HIM TO SWAP PLACES *
* RUNNING UP THE ROAD * * RUNNING UP THAT HILL *
* RUNNING * * DARLING, LET ME FEEL THIS
MOMENT * * ANGEL, COME DARLING, COME ON *
* IF I ONLY COULD MAKE A DEAL WITH GOD AND GET HIM TO SWAP
PLACES * * RUNNING UP THE ROAD *
* RUNNING UP THE HILL * * IF WE ONLY COULD *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: SARA JAMES! ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE LIVE. THE GUYS BEHIND US ARE GOING TO
KEEP WORKING AND WE'LL GO TO THE JUDGES.
SIMON, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER. Simon: OF COURSE THEY'RE
GOING TO KEEP WORKING. WE HAVE TO KEEP THE ACTS GOING.
I LOVE BEING LIVE. SARA, YOU KNOW WHAT, ANYONE WHO
HAS TO FOLLOW THAT PROBABLY MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME.
HOWEVER, THEY WERE JUST SO GOOD. THEN YOU COME OUT, 14 YEARS OLD
FROM POLAND AND NAILED ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC SONGS IN THE
WORLD. YOU KNOW, WHAT AN
ACCOMPLISHMENT. YOU'VE JUST GIVEN YOURSELF A
SHOT AFTER THAT, I'M TELLING YOU.
THAT WAS AMAZING. Terry: HOWIE?
Howie: I AGREE, BUT THE THING IS A LOT OF PEOPLE TONIGHT HAVE
GIVEN THEMSELVES A SHOT. YOU ARE PERFECTION.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU'RE FAR BEYOND A 14-YEAR-OLD.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN AMERICA EATING CHICKEN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU NEVER ATE CHICKEN.
I'VE ATE CHICKEN. Heidi: WHEN YOU SING, YOU
SING LIKE A SEASONED PRO. YOU HAVE THIS FRESHNESS, THIS
NEWNESS ABOUT YOU. YOU LOOK ALREADY LIKE A
SUPERSTAR. YOU DO.
YOU'RE ONE OF OUR GREATEST DISCOVERIES.
Terry: SOFIA? Sofia: I THINK IT'S NOT JUST
YOUR VOICE. IT'S YOUR PRESENCE ON THAT STAGE
SHOWS US THAT YOU'RE ALREADY A STAR.
DEFINITELY. Terry: SARA, YOU ARE ONLY 14
YEARS OLD. HOW HAS THIS "AGT" EXPERIENCE
CHANGED YOUR LIFE? OH, MY GOD.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE.
YOU KNOW, BEING ON "AGT" IS SO AMAZING.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S JUST LIKE I'M HONORED TO BE ON THE STAGE WITH
THESE WONDERFUL CONTESTANTS. SO GRATEFUL.
Terry: THANK YOU, SARA. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.
TO VOTE FOR SARA, GO TO NBC.COM OR GET ON THE APP.
YOUR VOTES COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND
NOT WINNING. SO GET VOTING.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: COMING UP -- Heidi: EVERYTHING YOU DO IS
SO ELEGANT. Howie: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
STORY. BEAUTIFULLY PERFORMED.
** Simon: I THINK YOU'RE THE
REAL DEAL. YOU'RE A GREAT SONG WRITER.
** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Terry: NOW, SIMON, FOR THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE, WE NEED YOU TO
SIGN THIS PIECE OF PAPER. NOW, WHEN GREAT ARTISTS SUFFER
SETBACKS, THEY GET BACK UP AND GET EVEN BETTER.
THAT'S WHAT THIS ACT DID AFTER SIMON SAID NO AT THE AUDITIONS.
AND NOW HE'S IN THE FINALS AND COULD WIN THE WHOLE COMPETITION.
I'LL TAKE THAT FROM YOU. THANK YOU, SIR.
OKAY, HE'S FROM SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, AND HERE'S HIS
STORY. Terry: YU HOJIN!
MAGIC IS MY LIFE. IF I DON'T HAVE MAGIC, I'M
NOTHING. I SAW ALL THE MAGICIANS WHO WON
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" AND I WAS THINKING, ONE DAY I GOT TO BE
PERFORMING IN VEGAS. AFTER THE FIRST AUDITION WHEN
SIMON SAID NO -- Simon: I'M GOING TO SAY NO.
-- IT INSPIRED ME TO BE BETTER AND NEXT TIME HE LOVED
IT. I DON'T WANT TO LET HIM DOWN IN
THE FINAL. THIS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT MY
DREAM. THE THING IS, I NEVER THOUGHT
TWICE. HOW HARD IS IT TO KEEP COMING
UP WITH NEW MAGIC? TWO THINGS COME TO MY MIND.
FIRST I'M AFRAID BECAUSE IT'S NEW.
SECOND IT'S JUST I NEED TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF.
EVERYTHING IS A RISK. THAT'S WHY WE'RE PRACTICING.
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS EVERY DAY.
SINCE LAST MONTH, I COULDN'T SLEEP.
I COULDN'T PRACTICE MORE THAN 15 HOURS.
IT MEANS I'M VERY NERVOUS. I'VE BEEN WORKING MY ENTIRE LIFE
FOR THIS MOMENT. I'M GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE
REMEMBER MY NAME. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
SIMON, CAN YOU PLEASE VERIFY THAT I JUST HAD YOU SIGN THIS?
Simon: JUST LITERALLY SECONDS AGO, YEAH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. FOR A MOMENT I THOUGHT -- I
ALMOST FEARED MY LIFE WHEN YOU SAID NO TO MY AUDITION.
THANKFULLY YOU BELIEVED IN ME IN MY LAST PERFORMANCE.
TONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY DREAMS AND SHOW THE WORLD MY
IMAGINATION. AND THIS IS MY JOURNEY.
** **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THIS IS MY DREAM.
MAYBE LIKE HOW ALL DREAMS START, YOU JUST NEED TO USE YOUR
IMAGINATION. WITH A DREAM AND LITTLE
IMAGINATION, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THANK YOU, AMERICA, FOR MAKING
MY DREAM COME TRUE. Terry: YU HOJIN!
WOW, HEIDI? Heidi: YOU ARE AMAZING.
I MEAN, YOUR ACT IS ALWAYS ELEGANT.
IT'S ALWAYS FULL OF SURPRISES AND YOU BRING THE WOW FACTOR.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES YOU SAID WOW NEXT TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I SAID IT.
YOU DID BRING IT TONIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS.
Terry: SOFIA? Sofia: IT'S INCREDIBLE.
IT FEELS LIKE YOU WERE DOING 30 TRICKS IN 3 MINUTES.
YOU'RE NOT A MAGICIAN. IT'S LIKE ACTUALLY TO ME YOU
FEEL LIKE YOU'RE MAGICAL. IT'S AMAZING.
Terry: SIMON? Simon: I'M VERY HAPPY I KIND
OF HELPED YOU. I DO.
Heidi: ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO BRING IT TO SIMON.
Simon: I SORT OF SAID NO ON PURPOSE.
IN MY MIND I ENVISIONED YOU IN THE FINALS AND YOU'RE HERE.
WE'RE HERE TOGETHER. I HAVE TO TELL YOU, YOU ARE A
BRILLIANT SHOWMAN. YOU'RE VERY CLASSY.
YOU'RE SUCH A GENTLEMAN. MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU'RE A
FIGHTER. YOU DIDN'T LET THIS GET YOU
DOWN. YOU JUST GOT BETTER AND BETTER
AND BETTER. I THINK OUR AUDIENCE ARE GOING
TO LOVE YOU GENUINELY. AMAZING.
I LOVED THE ENDING. Terry: HOWIE?
Howie: YOU SHOWED US THE MAGIC OF RECYCLING.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. YOU REALLY DID.
THE MESSAGES. YOU'RE SO ELEGANT, YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL, YOU'RE A STAR. THERE'S A BEAUTY IN WHAT YOU
TALK ABOUT IN YOUR STORY. YOU'RE MY FAVORITE MAGICIAN THIS
SEASON. Terry: YU, YOU HAVE ALWAYS
DREAMED OF WINNING "AGT." HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ONE STEP
POSSIBLE TO YOUR DREAM? I FEEL LIKE I'M DREAMING NOW.
Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, YU. LISTEN, YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO CAN MAKE YU HOJIN THE CHAMPION.
SO USE THE "AGT" APP, GET ONLINE, DO WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT
TO DO, AND VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. HE NEEDS YOU.
AFTER THE BREAK, IT'S OUR LAST ACT OF THE NIGHT.
CAN DRAKE MILLIGAN SING HIS WAY TO A MILLION DOLLARS AND A SHOW
IN VEGAS? **
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: HERE'S OUR LAST ACT OF
THE FINALS. HE'S FROM FORT WORTH, TEXAS, AND
HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY STARTED WITH HIM IMPERSONATING SOMEBODY ELSE.
BUT NOW HE IS VERY MUCH HIS OWN MAN.
Terry: DRAKE MILLIGAN! DRAKE, WHEN YOU WERE A KID,
YOU WERE AN ELVIS IMPERSONATOR. YOUR PARENTS ARE NO MUSICIANS.
NO. MY MOM IS A VETERINARIAN.
MY DAD RUNS THE FAMILY SCRAP YARD.
WHAT MY DAD DOES WAS NEVER FOR ME.
ONCE I DISCOVERED ELVIS, I STARTED SINGING ELVIS.
THEY WERE LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON? MY MOM HANDMADE MY JACKETS.
"AGT" IS SOMETHING I WATCHED WITH THEM GROWING UP.
AND HERE YOU ARE MY MAN. IT'S AMAZING.
WITH THE POWER OF "AGT" YOU HAD TWO SONGS NUMBER ONE AFTER
YOU PERFORMED THEM. IT GIVES ME HOPE FOR THIS
PERFORMANCE TONIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE EVERY TIME I
PICKED UP A GUITAR IT LED UP TO THIS MOMENT.
THIS IS MY BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A CAREER IN COUNTRY
MUSIC. THE SONG I'M GOING TO SING
TONIGHT, MAY BE FAMILIAR TO PEOPLE OUT THERE.
I KNOW I'M TAKING A CHANCE, BUT I'M HERE TO WIN.
I'M GOING TO BRING EVERYTHING I HAVE TO THAT STAGE AND LEAVE IT
ALL OUT THERE. CAN YOU IMAGINE SEEING DRAKE
MILLIGAN AT THE LUXOR, JUST LIKE YOUR HERO ELVIS?
NO. IT WOULD BE WILD.
IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Terry: DRAKE MILLIGAN!
SIMON, YOU FEEL THIS ENERGY? SIMON?
Simon: YOU KNOW WHAT, OH, GOSH, I SAID THIS BEFORE, DRAKE.
I HAVE SO MUCH ADMIRATION FOR THE FACT THAT -- THIS RECORD
WENT TO NUMBER ONE. YOU COULD HAVE JUST WALKED AND
YOU DIDN'T. YOU CAME BACK AND COMPETED.
I THINK IT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT THING TO COME BACK WITH
THAT SONG WITH A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE TO REMIND US OF THE
STAR YOU ARE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Simon: YOU ARE. YOUR SONG IS A HIT.
I REALLY THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE THE START OF YOUR CAREER.
Terry: WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
SOFIA? Sofia: DRAKE, I ALREADY WANT
TO BUY A TICKET TO YOUR CONCERT. YOU'RE AMAZING.
AMERICA, IN YOUR HANDS. VOTE TONIGHT.
Terry: ONE MINUTE LEFT. HEIDI?
Heidi: YOU HAVE BEEN A STAND-OUT THIS SEASON.
YOU CAN TELL THE AUDIENCE LOVES YOU.
THE CAMERA LOVES YOU. I LOVE YOU.
YOU'RE THE ONE TO BEAT. Terry: 45 SECONDS, HOWIE.
Howie: I THINK YOU JUST BROUGHT IT HOME.
I THINK YOU'RE A STAR. I LOVE WHAT SIMON SAID.
IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. THIS SONG IS GOING TO BE NUMBER
ONE TOMORROW. THERE'S A CHANCE YOU'LL BE
WALKING OUT OF HERE WITH $1 MILLION.
Terry: DRAKE, YOU GOT AN ALBUM COMING OUT.
I GOT A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS AT HOME.
IT'S COMING OUT THIS WEEK. Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
DRAKE. OKAY, WE'VE SEEN ALL OF THE
FINALISTS. WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE THE
CHAMPION? BECAUSE IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.
IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED YET, GO PICK A WINNER.
SHIN LIM, HENRY WINKLER,
