[Damned Anthem's "The Final Countdown"]
- There is only one act making it through
to the finals tonight.
- [vocalizing]
- Now, this is an all-star.
- Thank you!
[cheers and applause]
- This is totally up to the superfans.
- Oh! Whoa! - Oh!
[dramatic music]
- Y'all tell me. How's it feel, baby?
- * It's the final countdown *
- I felt very emotional during that.
[buzzer blares]
- [bleats]
- [vocalizing] - * It's the final countdown *
- Thank you so much.
- Standing ovation.
- I'm a winner. I want to win.
- You are the epitome of an "AGT" All-Star.
[cheers and applause]
[Europe's "The Final Countdown"]
* *
[cheers and applause]
- Give it up for the host of the show...
- Yo, baby, let's go!
- Terry Crews!
- * It's the final countdown *
* *
* The final countdown *
- This is "America's Got Talent: All-Stars,"
where the competition has been at a whole new level.
Tonight's show will be the toughest yet
because there is only one-- yes, one act
making it through to the finals tonight.
Unfortunately, there are no Golden Buzzers left,
so the decision is solely in the hands of our superfans,
which is made up of "AGT" fans from all across America.
- * The final countdown *
- The superfans, and only the superfans,
will choose which act moves on to the final.
- * The final countdown *
- Now, Howie, how crucial is it
that these acts be at their best tonight?
- I think it's harder now than it has ever been
because tonight is only about the superfans.
We can't send people through.
The superfans are the people
that are gonna vote for one act to go through.
- * Final countdown *
- You said it all.
There is nothing more to say.
Y'all ready? [cheers and applause]
Let's do it.
"AGT: All-Stars" starts now!
[cheers and applause]
- * It's the final countdown *
- You guys ready for her?
Cameras and cellphones, put those away.
We'll see those in the shot.
- Put your cameras away.
We're gonna see it in the shot.
- Yeah, I can see that one.
[upbeat music]
- All right, here we go.
- All right, Daneliya, go right on out.
Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Hello.
- Remind people who you are.
- My name is Daneliya.
I'm 16 now.
And I was in "AGT" season 15.
- And where are you from?
- I'm from Kazakhstan.
But recently, I moved here all by myself, without my parents.
So I really miss them.
But it's, like, such a great opportunity for me.
[dramatic music]
It was really fun growing up in Kazakhstan.
I was always singing.
I always had a passion for it.
[singing]
When I was seven years old, there was, like, a concert.
And I remember singing Rihanna.
And I didn't even know the words
because, like, I didn't know English at all.
I ended up winning the show.
And it just all started right there.
After that, I decided to audition for "AGT"
because I knew that it will give me so many opportunities
to perform here in America.
The moment I stepped on the stage,
I was very, very nervous.
But all the anxiety just went away
the moment I started singing.
* Never gonna end *
- You've got a real, real shot here.
- When someone like Simon says something like that to you,
it is actually shocking.
It gave me, like, a big confidence boost
to actually keep going and pushing forward.
And then I made it to the finals.
- You know, out of all the singers, you're a baby.
But you seem like the most seasoned.
- [vocalizing]
- The act taking the second spot in the top five
is Cristina Rae!
- I was so sad that I didn't go through.
But after "AGT," I moved to U.S.
Since I moved here, I have over 1.4 million subscribers
on YouTube channel.
I always thought, what if I won?
What if I did something more?
And that's pretty much why I am back.
It will be amazing if one day, my name was up in lights.
[dramatic music]

[Duncan Laurence's "Arcade"]
* *
* Broken heart's all that's left *
* I'm still fixing all the cracks *
* Lost a couple of pieces when *
* I carried it, carried it, carried it home *
- Wow. Beautiful.
* I've spent all the love I saved *
* We were always a losing game *
* Small-town boy in a big arcade *
* I got addicted to a losing game *
* Oh *
* Oh, all I know *
* All I know *
* Loving you is a losing game *
* How many pennies in the slot? *
* Giving this up didn't take a lot *
* But I saw the end 'fore it begun *
* Still, I carried it, carried it *
* I carried on *
* Oh, all I know *
* All I know *
* Loving you is a losing game *
* Oh *
* *
* Is a losing game *
[vocalizing]
* Loving you is a losing *
* Game *
[cheers and applause]
- That was beautiful. That was beautiful.
[Sia's "Bird Set Free"]
* *
- Oh, beautiful!
- * Clipped wings, I was a broken thing *
* Had a voice, had a voice, but I could not sing *
* You'd worn me down *
* I struggled on the ground *
- Well, Heidi?
- I thought it was stunning all the way around.
You really do have an amazing talent.
Wish we didn't even have the music at all
because I almost want to just hear
your beautiful voice a cappella.
It is gorgeous. - Thank you so much.
- Right?
[cheers and applause]
- So you're how old?
- I'm 16.
- And you're living here without your parents now?
- Yeah.
- I mean, that's daunting.
- Yeah. - That's amazing.
- * Oh *
- And even though your voice cracked a little bit,
I really think that made you more human and better.
You've got real talent,
and you've got real determination.
Love the song choice. Well done.
- Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- You know, here's what I find amazing--
you're thousands of miles away from your country,
your family, on your own.
And to deliver what you delivered
is absolutely phenomenal.
- Thank you.
- The superfans have a really tough choice
because we have a lot of amazing acts
coming up on tonight's episode.
And they get a chance to choose
just one of them, so good luck.
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- * I found myself in the melodies *
* I sing for love, I sing for me *
* I shout it out like a bird set free *
- So many really good singers, but there are very few people
that are unique and original,
where even if it's a song you know,
it always sounds like her.
And I like watching her perform it.
- Yeah.
- Coming up...
- Why did you want to come back?
- To win again. - Yeah!
- I've been making these, Simon,
for your next bike ride.
- You're very naughty.
- Whoa! - [groans]
- There is only one spot left.
The act going into the final is...
[cheers and applause]
- OK, here we go, guys. Clearing stage.
- Yeah, I'm super nervous about this, man.
I heard there's no more Golden Buzzers.
- Yeah, man, means we got to throw
everything that we have on the stage.
- All right, here we go.
Our next act is right backstage.
Here we go!
- All right, Eric, go out there and make it happen, my man.
[cheers and applause]
- Well, hello!
- I love him. - Good to see you again.
- Good to see everyone here, man.
It's crazy.
- So to everyone who doesn't know you,
please introduce yourself again.
- Right, my name is Eric Chien, and I am a magician.
- Yes. - A great magician.
- [laughs]
[cheers and applause]
When I was little, I was, like,
the only Asian in school.
And I did get bullied a lot.
I was really shy.
My English was really bad.
But when I fell in love with magic,
I discovered that it was a great coping mechanism.
I decided to pursue magic as my career.
So I auditioned for "America's Got Talent."
[cheers and applause]
- Oh, my God.
- No!
- Look at 'em go.
- When I looked up, everyone was on their feet.
It was such an amazing feeling. I had goose bumps.
Even right now, thinking about it, I have goose bumps.
- I think you're one of the best we've ever had.
- Thank you so much.
Simon Cowell is a very tough judge.
During the live show, he said...
- I'm getting a little bit bored of the close-up magic.
You've got to do something big.
- But I did not follow his advice.
- I would say your definition of what's big
and my definition of big is slightly different.
- The next act going into the finals is...
Benicio Bryant!
- Not taking his advice definitely hurt me
in the "AGT" run, but I'm glad that I did it.
After "AGT," I was able to perform everywhere.
I traveled to, like, 10 different countries.
I was on Broadway.
I was living my dream life, performing close-up magic.
But I didn't win "AGT."
So I'm here to show Simon and America
why I deserve to be an All-Star.
[dramatic music]
* *
- Let's do this. - All right.
Heidi? - Yes?
- Please, come join me onstage.
- It's about me. - Go onstage.
Again.
[cheers and applause]
- Ow!
- Have a seat here. - Hi!
- Hello.
Wow, you're much taller than I thought you were.
- Good to see you. [laughter]
I'm excited.
I get to see this right here.
- OK, here we go.
[soft acoustic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
[cheering]
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
* *
Come on.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
- Thank you. - Wow.
- Thank you, everyone. - Wow.
Thank you.
- * I got this feeling, yeah, you know *
* Where I'm losing all control *
* 'Cause there's magic in my bones *
* I got this feeling in my soul *
- [laughs]
- Howie, that's for you.
- Oh, thank you. - I love you.
- Thank you. It's beautiful.
[laughter]
Speaking of beautiful, I think that act was beautiful.
I think it was performed with elegance.
And there's a smoothness to what you do.
You are competing with all-stars.
And I think you rose to that level tonight.
- Wow.
Thank you.
- "Rose" to that level tonight.
- Yeah, I got it.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- See what I did there?
- I mean, I was right there.
And it is absolutely insane to watch you
that close, absolutely amazing.
It's there, it's not there, it's there, it's not there.
And it's like-- it's unbelievable.
- Thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]
- I like big magic.
They like little magic.
So I thought it was very cute.
For me, it didn't have that wow factor.
I'm going to be honest with you, Eric.
[crowd booing]
- I think I just stayed true to myself.
I still like to-- I still enjoy close-up magic.
- OK, well, look, the positive side is, we're not voting.
Our audience do love magic.
And I really respect you for coming back, and thank you.
That's a big deal. - Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Ah, good to see you.
- * I got this feeling in my soul *
- Eric, first of all, listen,
you still didn't win Simon over.
- Everyone's different, so it's OK to not like my magic.
- Especially now, because it's not up to Simon.
It's up to the superfans.
Auditions for next season are officially open.
Go to AGTauditions.com.
[dramatic music]
- Get ready for our next act, ladies and gentlemen.
- Smile.
- Is this your first selfie?
- Probably.
- Oh, that was a good one.
- [laughs]
- Is this the first one you've ever done?
- Probably. - OK, here we go.
Grab your seats, please.
[cheers and applause]
- Oh!
[upbeat music]
* *
- There's so many kids!
I'm literally spinning.
Oh, look at them!
High fives, y'all.
- How many are there?
- How many members are in the choir?
- We have 72.
- 72?
- Ah, hello!
[cheers and applause]
Ah, yes, I remember.
- Hello. - Hello.
- I remember you. You are...
- We are Voices of Hope Children's Choir.
And we're from Orange County, California.
- Yes! - Wow.
[cheers and applause]
- I believe somebody on this panel
wasn't very positive towards you.
Who was that? [crowd booing]
- Howie. - How could you?
- Well, it was a time in my life when I had no hope.
[laughter]
- We know you didn't love us last time.
But you are going to love us this time.
You're gonna see... - I feel it.
- How united we are. - That's the spirit.
- And you're gonna be on your feet
by the time this number's done.
[poignant piano music]
- When we first started Voices of Hope,
my goal was to bring music to children
across all social-economic backgrounds.
We didn't really have a lot of big opportunities
until "America's Got Talent."
- OK, good luck.
- I had, like, watched this show
so much when I was little.
I didn't even know you could, like, be on it.
Like-- [laughter]
[all vocalizing]
all: * This is me *
- Give you a definite yes. - Yes.
- So you already got three yeses.
You're already going through.
But I don't love it for this show,
so it's a no for me.
I'm sorry. [crowd booing]
- Really did feel like we had something to prove.
So they turned that feedback into motivation
for the next round.
[cheers and applause]
- From the audition to this round,
you are the most improved.
[cheers and applause]
- Voices of Hope are going straight to the live show!
- I for sure thought we were gonna win.
And then...
- Now, there is just one spot open in the finals.
All up to the judges.
- Howie did have an opportunity to save us.
- Hey, I gotta pick you, Duo Transcend.
- Duo Transcend!
[muffled cheers and applause]
- We left feeling like we hadn't
quite closed the chapter on "America's Got Talent."
- After "AGT," we got to perform
for so many organizations.
- We got to sing with Josh Groban on Red Nose Day.
The kids were asked to sing with Pentatonix.
- A lot of us are older now.
We've worked on our harmonies.
We are here to win.
- It's just too big of a dream.
But, you know, maybe this time, it'll happen.
[dramatic music]
* *
- By the way, if he says anything negative, punch him.
Yeah, yeah, just one punch. You're allowed one.
- Only those two.
[cheering]
[For King and Country's "TOGETHER"]
[all vocalizing]
* *
- * This is for the busted hearts *
* This is for the question marks *
* This is for the outcast soul, lost control, no one knows *
- * Sing it for the can't-go-back *
* Sing it for the broken past *
* Sing it for the just found out *
* Life is now upside-down *
all: * If you're lookin' for hope tonight *
* Raise your hand, hand *
* If you're feelin' alone and don't understand-and *
* If you're fighting in the fight of your life *
* Then stand-and *
* We're gonna make it through this *
* Hand in hand, hand *
* If we fall,
* We will fall together, together *
- * Oh, and when we rise *
all: * We will rise together *
- * We will rise together, together, whoa *
[all vocalizing]
- * Ooh, we will rise together *
all: [vocalizing] - * Listen! *
- * If you're lookin' for hope tonight *
- * And you're all alone *
- * If you're feelin' alone tonight *
- * And you feel *
- * You're in the fight of your life *
* Whenever, ever, ever, just as long as we're together *
* Say if we fall *
* We will fall together *
- * We will rise together *
all: * Together *
* Together, we are dangerous *
* Together with our differences *
* Together, we are bolder, braver *
* Stronger *
[cheers and applause]
[Anne-Marie and James Arthur's "Rewrite the Stars"]
- Oh, that was beautiful!
- [laughing]
- I got scared.
Did you get scared?
- [laughing]
- Howie, you've got something on your head.
[laughter] - Yeah, I do.
I have something--
- Howie got so scared.
- I got scared.
I didn't expect the streamers.
It was terrifying.
[laughter] [cheers and applause]
- I love that you came back for "All-Stars."
I feel like you exude positivity.
And we are a family here on "America's Got Talent."
And I feel like you're a part of it.
I just loved it. I love you guys.
- Thank you, Heidi.
[cheers and applause]
- I think what you do is wonderful.
That being said,
on a show called "AGT: All-Stars,"
this doesn't, for me personally,
rise above a really nice school assembly.
[crowd booing]
That's just my opinion.
But it's beautiful, and it's nice.
- Howie, when was the last time you were at a school assembly?
- 100 years ago?
- * How do we rewrite the stars? *
- You know what?
I'm actually gonna send you to detention.
- OK, sorry.
- [laughs] Yes!
[cheers and applause]
- We do have a lot of choirs on the show.
And some of them are technically brilliant
and really boring.
And then there's others who aren't quite so polished
but make you feel great.
And you fall under that category,
which is, you just made me feel really good
throughout that performance.
- Yes.
- I think you were better this time
than you were five years ago.
Let's see what the superfans say.
- Thank you. - Good luck, guys!
- * How do we rewrite the stars? *
* Say you were made to be mine *
- Howie Mandel. - I know!
We really thought he was gonna be on our side.
This song is high energy.
- OK, let's make a corner where we can put Howie.
- It's not up to him, OK?
It's up to the superfans.
- It's my opinion.
Is it mean because they're children?
I love the children.
The children are our future.
- I think it's up to the superfans.
- Write that down. That could be a song.
- Coming up...
We have "Got Talent" champions.
- Oh, yeah. Whoo-hoo!
- That cataclysmic fall.
- You are an "AGT" institution.
- The last act going into the final is...
[dramatic music]
- Only one can go into the final.
It's crazy.
[cheers and applause]
- Everybody have a seat. Here we go.
[cheers and applause]
- Brandon Leake.
Season 15.
Howie's Golden Buzzer, but you went on
to win the whole thing.
Brandon Leake!
[poignant music]
- I imagined a very different life
growing up in Stockton, California--
in poverty, loss of my sister, fatherless childhood.
Writing poetry became my big outlet.
All the things I wish we could have done
are played again and again and again.
And I'm tired of playing God 'cause I gotta come to terms
with the fact that my sister ain't never coming back.
You know, the world shut down that day.
They almost canceled the entire show.
- We feel your pain.
We feel your love.
And you moved me to do this.
* *
- I still, to this day, don't think I've proven the point.
Soon, people were like, "Oh, he only won
"'cause there wasn't an audience.
This doesn't translate to a large stage."
But I looked at it as, "All right, Brandon,
you got more work to do."
[cheers and applause]
- Are you excited to see your dad?
- But I'm immensely excited to finally give
a live audience a good taste of what I do in person.
- OK, here we go.
- Oh, man, Brandon Leake!
[cheers and applause]
- So yeah, I'm prepared to win.
[cheers and applause]
I'll show you that today.
- He was my Golden Buzzer.
[cheers and applause]
How does that feel, Brandon?
All your performances were without an audience.
- Y'all tell me. How's it feel, baby?
[cheers and applause]
It feels about that good.
- Yeah, and you are that good.
How old are you, Brandon?
- I'm a big 3-0 now.
And I got two beautiful kids.
- Yeah!
- So yeah.
- Did your life change after "AGT"?
- Oh, without question.
You know, just my opportunities.
You know, leaving a stage like this,
America's largest stage,
it provides doors that I never had before.
You know what I've been doing recently
is helping 12 schools in my city.
And we're publishing 6,000 kids this year.
[cheers and applause]
- That's amazing.
And what is the dream?
Like, why even come back?
- Oh, man, well, my biggest dream
is to help elevate spoken word to a point
where the people see it just as normally
as every other art form.
- You know what?
I feel like on that same year that you won,
I think that young girl who performed
at the inauguration...
- Amanda Gorman. - Yes.
I think that you opened the door
for moments like that.
And I cannot wait to see what you have in store next.
- Thank you.
[dramatic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
While on a walk, I saw a transient man
standing on the corner.
And immediately, I reached into my pocket.
Not so I could grab money or anything like that,
but so I could get my phone.
You know, so I could fake text or pretend
like I was listening to music,
'cause I figured my persistence
to keep my distance would make it hurt less
when I ignored his existence.
At least for me, anyway.
But then suddenly, a very peculiar smell
emanating from the man invaded my nostrils.
It reminded me of all the things
that our culture deems worthy of throwing away.
And the irony is, that's the same way
that we would treat him.
But then inside my soul, something said,
"Brandon, put your pride aside and go talk to that man,"
so I did.
I asked if he could share with me a bit of his story.
All he could do was say, "Glory, hallelujah,
of course I can."
He told me of a man who had everything.
The people bowed down at his feet.
And they allow their praises to raise his stature
to nothing less than God reincarnated in human flesh.
Where I'm from, that's the pharaoh complex,
I'm pretty sure, but...
you see, the issue with towering above all
has never been that climb up,
but that cataclysmic fall
back down to humility in which most don't survive.
And I imagined him losing everything,
and he told me, "Young man, don't be foolish."
"The reality is that I woke up and realized
"that your life only works
"when your life's work is worth your life,
"and I realized my life's work was worthless.
"Worthless. And this broke me.
"It broke me to see my reflection
"splintered, broken, barren.
"So I grabbed everything I could fit
"into these bare hands, and I ran,
and I ran till I couldn't run no more."
It all seemed so real to him.
You could see it ruminating in his eyes again and again.
And he stopped my train of thought, saying,
"Young man, do you know why I smell like this?"
He said, "I smell like this to remind myself
"that self-sufficiency will no longer keep me clean.
"Because do you know why you wear those clothes?
"Is it simply to look appealing,
or to hide the fact that you're healing?"
Never in a million years did I think
I'd take hygiene tips from a guy like this,
but I did.
And the craziest part is, as all these cars drove by,
I wonder which one of us they thought was clean.
So I guess the moral of the story is,
you can never judge a book by its cover.
[cheers and applause]
- * Holding back the flood *
* In this skyscraper town *
- That was really good.
- Wow.
- * Now you think you're gonna drown *
- Good job, Daddy!
- * You can't tell that you're bigger *
* Than the sea that you're sinking in *
- Wow, Brandon.
- I'll never forget--
I mean, I remember watching that final.
And I-- - Daddy.
- And I'll never forget when--
- Dad!
- Who is that?
- My daughter's over there.
- Say, hi, Dada. - Aw, hello.
- Hello. - What? Go up?
- Can she come up? - Of course.
- Yeah.
- Come on, boo-boo.
[cheers and applause]
- Aww. - Come here, boo-boo.
- She's so cute!
- Brandon, what's her name?
- Her name is Aaliyah.
- Aaliyah, hello.
[crowd awws]
She's taking away the limelight from you, Brandon.
[laughs]
- Every day of my life.
[laughter] - She's so cute.
No, I was gonna say, I remember that night, you know.
I never in my wildest dreams would have thought
someone with an act like yours could win "AGT."
But you won it because of, obviously, what you say,
but also it's the way you deliver everything.
I mean, you are brilliant.
- Thank you. - Absolutely brilliant.
- It's always--it's always very emotional when you speak
because you talk about different things
that we all deal with in life.
You definitely evoke these kind of emotions in me
and I'm sure in so many other people that hear you speak.
And you're special.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- You really are, Brandon.
I think that you're doing exactly what it is
you want to do, and that is moving people.
And your words are so poetic, so in the moment.
We're not only enjoying your performance,
but the message is so clear.
And thank you for moving us.
And I wish you the best of luck.
- * When the lights go out *
* And leave you standing in the dark *
- Thank you guys so much.
- Well done, Brandon.
- That was really special.
- He is special.
[BANNERS' "Got It in You"]
- I'm so proud of you.
You did so good.
- I know you want to get back to Mommy.
- He's like a star.
- I have to, like, fight with tears when he's speaking.
- He was good. - He's great.
- * You got it in you *
- Here we go, folks.
Next act coming up right now.
Show him all the love.
Here we go.
[dog barking]
- Oh, dogs.
[upbeat music]
- I am Lukas,
and this is my best friend, Falco.
We came to "AGT" season 14.
- Where did you two meet?
- When I was a child, Falco was peeing on my dad's leg.
And I was-- [laughter]
I thought it was funny.
And it was the start of a great friendship.
- * As long as I got you and me *
- He has amazing personality.
But also, importantly, so do you.
- I had tears in my eyes
because I was so proud of Falco.
- I love how much they love each other.
- As we got further in the competition,
every performance onstage is a win.
- Oh, my God, this dog is unbelievable.
- But then, unfortunately,
Howie told us that he disliked us.
- I didn't see new tricks. - Boo!
- This is, like, more of the same.
[crowd booing]
You know how they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
[buzzer blares] You didn't.
[buzzer blares]
- At our next performance on "AGT,"
I teach Falco to go push the red buzzer for Howie.
[buzzer blares]
- The most impressive thing about this act
is that the dog was able to read my mind
and give the buzzer that I was going to give.
- I actually hate you right now, Howie.
- But at the end of the day, we didn't go through.
- Detroit Youth Choir!
[uplifting music]
But after "AGT," everybody knowed Falco.
And we started to do more shows.
But Falco is getting older.
We cannot do the same performance
like you did five years ago.
And so we decided to bring his younger brothers,
Joke and Turner.
- Simon and Howie's being really mean today.
- Maybe he has a bad day? Yeah, I don't know.
Tonight's performance will be one of the last from Falco.
And I want to show people that he is able
to do better than the last time we were on the stage.
I really want to show the world
that Falco is a winner.
[dramatic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
- Hi.
- Well, can you introduce yourselves again, please?
- I start with the most important--
that's my best friend, Falco.
And my name is Lukas.
And we are from Austria.
- I remember.
[cheers and applause]
And what year was it, again?
- We've been on season 14.
We had a good time on "AGT."
The only thing we--
not really we are happy--
Howie never liked our act, really, much.
- Why? Why, Howie?
[crowd booing]
- I don't really know.
- So this is really, I suppose, unfinished business, yes?
- Yes. - Look at him.
- Last time we've been on the show,
it was like we thought about his retirement.
- Who, Howie?
[laughter]
Wow.
- He's 13 years old right now,
so it's not possible to do the same tricks
like some years before.
But I think we came up with some new ideas
and have a surprise for today.
- All right, well, good luck.
- Thank you.
[cheers and applause] - I didn't buzz them.
- That's enough. - Did I buzz them?
I don't remember buzzing them. - So wait, I don't understand.
Is Falco not going to perform now?
- You threw things at them.
- I didn't throw things.
- You did. - Don't make up stories.
People are gonna believe you.
- You threw fruit at them.
- Why are you lying? You're lying.
- No. - What are you, six?
Oh, my God.
- OK, here we go.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow, look at him!
[Glenn Frey's "The Heat Is On"]
* *
- "Top Gun." - Oh, it's "Top Gun."
- Well, duh.
[jets roaring]
* *
- * The heat is on on the street *
- Yeah!
Whoo!
- * Inside your head *
- Yeah!
Hi!
- * 'Cause the heat is on *
[barks]
* Whoa, whoa *
* Oh, oh *
[cheers and applause]
- Wow!
- * Tell me, can you feel it? *
* Tell me, can you feel it? *
- How weird is that?
Look at this!
Oh!
[laughs]
- * The heat is on, yeah, it's on the street *
- Oh, look at 'em go.
- * The heat is *
- Yes!
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Whoo! - [laughs]
* *
- * Oh, oh *
* Tell me, can you feel it? *
- Hey, Falco!
- * Tell me, can you feel it? *
[cheers and applause]
[Queen's "You're My Best Friend"]
- Which one's Falco?
* *
- Standing ovation.
- * Ooh, you make me live *
* Whatever this world *
- Which one is Falco?
I, like, lost track.
This one's Falco, to the left. - That nasty one, yeah.
[laughs]
- If I remember, it seems like you were doing
more tricks this time than you were doing
the last time you were on "AGT."
- That's true, yeah.
- So you made the show even better than it was.
And this time, it was thoroughly entertaining.
It was fun.
And I think the superfans are going to like it.
- Thank you very much.
- And--and it is even more fun
when you have a very good-looking trainer,
also, to do it with him.
And we have utmost respect for you
for training them because, I mean, that's not easy.
- That's true, yeah. - I have two.
They don't do anything but eat and poo.
[laughs] - But I could give you lessons.
If you're out for a walk--
- Yes. That's very good.
- He's flirting with you. - [laughs]
- Mwah!
- I think, for me, you were better
when you first came on with Falco,
if I'm being honest with you.
- OK. - Really?
- Boo! [crowd booing]
- I think they're cute.
They're not as talented as Falco.
Falco-- - Aww!
- Yeah, well, it's true.
These two, are they young?
- Joke is the middle one. He's 10.
And he is the youngest.
The shy one, he is seven.
- See, 7 and 10, that's young for show business.
[laughter]
- Well, the good thing is, it's not up to us,
it's up to the superfans.
So let's see what they have to say, right?
[cheers and applause]
Thank you for coming.
Aww.
Bye!
He's an old grandfather.
- You won Howie over, but lost Simon.
What's going on? - I know he is right.
Falco is also, for me, the best show dog
we have on this planet. - Aww.
- You really didn't like this as much?
- Aww. - No.
- I think maybe because
there was more, I liked it.
- You love animals the same way
Simon loves tangerines.
- Yes. - [laughs]
- Coming up, we have fan favorites,
but only one is going into the finals.
- We don't have a Golden Buzzer.
It's really, really tough to lose people tonight.
[cheers and applause]
- Get ready for our next act, ladies and gentlemen.
[cheers and applause]
- I see a piano, Howie.
I want to know who it is.
- Do you have a hunch?
- I think it's Kodi.
[suspenseful music]
I was not there that season when Kodi won.
I only saw it on TV.
- It was an amazing moment in the room.
* *
- I think I was the nervous one when we came to "AGT."
And he was an excited young man,
ready to show the world what he had.
Kodi is blind and autistic.
- Aww.
- We found out that he loved music really early on.
I didn't even know what to expect.
* *
- We were all on the edge of our seat, you know?
- I was like this, standing up to go,
"Right, we're calling it a day."
- I remember that performance.
[plays discordant notes]
- And I thought, "This is too much pressure."
And I literally had got out of my seat.
- And that's when he started singing?
- And that's when he started.
[playing rolling chords]
- * I've been so many places in my life and time *
- I'm gonna remember this moment
for the rest of my life.
- Thank you.
Heck yeah!
* And I made some bad rhymes *
- Kodi Lee!
- When he won, the first thing that popped in my mind
was, the whole world just won.
- * 10,000 people watchin' *
It was so amazing.
- We are here with the great Kodi Lee.
- Kodi Lee will be performing in Las Vegas with...
- That was a lot of people recognizing me, huh?
- You changed the world.
- I changed the world. - You did.
- Please welcome Kodi Lee.
- I get to see him live a life like anybody else.
Going to his first job...
- Hey, everybody.
I'm like, gosh, I can buy a new house.
"AGT" really changed my life.
- He said, "Heck yeah."
- Heck yeah!
[both laugh]
[dramatic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
- There he is!
He looks like a rock star.
Look at that.
[cheers and applause]
all: [chanting] Kodi! Kodi! Kodi!
- Wave, Kodi. Say, hey, everybody.
There you go. Wave. Wave.
[wild cheering]
- I don't think I have heard the audience this loud
the entire time we've been--
- Heck yeah! - Heck yeah!
- [laughs] - Heck yeah.
- Gosh, this takes me back
to one of those magical, magical moments
we had on "AGT."
- Yes. Yeah.
- Oh, yeah. Whoo-hoo!
[laughs]
- People always ask me this question,
what was, you know, your top,
you know, three or four auditions?
Every single time, we always mention your audition, Kodi.
- Aww, thank you.
[laughs]
- Aww.
- Now this is an all-star.
- Yes.
- This is a superstar.
Why did you want to come back, Kodi Lee?
- To win again.
- Yes! - Heck yeah.
- Heck yeah!
- OK, I don't think we need to ask Kodi any more questions.
We just want to hear him perform, seriously.
- Yes. - Good luck.
- Thank you so much.
Whoo-hoo!
- All right, you ready? - Heck yeah.
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo! Yeah, Kodi!
- Whoo! Go, Kodi!
[Calum Scott's "Biblical"]
[soft piano music]
- * Didn't know that I'd fall so hard *
* That my feet left the ground *
* Gravity don't make no sense when you're around *
* *
* I come up against myself when *
* Demons in my head get loud *
* I don't know how you do it *
* But you turn them down *
* I slip and wonder who I'd be *
* If I never found you and you never found me *
* Well, I don't wanna see *
* So won't you give me tonight *
* And the rest of your life? *
* I wanna have it all with you *
* And when you open your eyes *
* I'll be there by your side *
* I wanna have it all with you *
* 'Cause our love is biblical *
* Biblical, it's biblical *
* *
* If you ever go to pieces *
* Fall between the thunderclouds *
* I will put you back together *
* I won't let you down *
* I slip and wonder what I'd do *
* If you never found me and I never found you *
* I don't know what I'd do *
* So won't you give me tonight *
* And the rest of your life? *
* I wanna have it all with you *
* I wanna have it all *
* *
* 'Cause your love is biblical *
* It's biblical *
[wild cheering]
- You gotta be so happy!
- * Have you ever felt like nobody was there? *
- Oh, my goodness.
[Natalie Grant's "You Will Be Found"]
- * Have you ever felt forgotten *
* In the middle of nowhere? *
* Have you ever felt like you could disappear? *
* Like you could fall *
- You know what?
You are--there's no other word to describe
what you do than amazing.
And you are truly amazing.
You're truly an all-star.
And you, I think, just got this entire audience,
I think you got the superfans, and you got
everybody at home to feel you.
[cheers and applause] - Thank you.
- * Even when the dark comes crashing through *
* When you need a friend to carry you *
- I feel you too, Kodi Lee.
Actually, I feel like my heart doubles in size
when I hear you sing.
And you truly are an all-star.
And I feel like "AGT" is what it is
because of people like you.
- Whoo-hoo!
- * Lift your head and look around *
- I totally agree with Heidi.
It is the people we've met along the way
that have made this show so special.
And Kodi, you're one of these artists
who are always going to be amazing.
There'll never come a year where you go,
"Kodi's not good anymore."
Because you're always going to be amazing.
You're always going to be better.
Your performances are always going to be mesmerizing.
And really, honestly, you define what an all-star is.
- Heck yeah.
- Heck yeah!
- One act can go through tonight,
and that's up to the superfans.
So, Kodi, you want to say something to the superfans?
- Yes. - What do you want to say?
- * And when you're broken on the ground *
- Help me change the world.
[cheers and applause]
- That's good.
- Thank you so much.
- * You will be found *
- He's in a--
a different league to everyone else.
- I was gonna say that. He's in his own league, yeah.
- What did you say? - He's in a different league.
- Kodi, you are an icon.
You hear that?
all: [chanting] Kodi! Kodi! Kodi! Kodi!
- [laughs]
- * You will be found *
- Give it up for our last act, everyone.
Give it up for them.
[cheers and applause]
- Hi, Kodi.
- Thank you.
- I wish I could have given him a Golden Buzzer.
I mean... - Here we go.
- For me, that defines this show.
[cheers and applause]
[dramatic music]
- Love him.
- Brett Loudermilk. I remember you,
but I don't know. Do you guys remember him?
[cheers and applause]
[suspenseful music]
When I was a little kid, I discovered danger acts.
[metal clashing on tv] - Cool.
- I wanted to learn how to do that.
And I was hooked.
I learned how to eat fire and sword swallowing
and walk on broken glass barefoot
and all these really crazy stunts.
And when I was 17, I moved to New York City
to become a street performer.
[cheers and applause]
My audition on season 15 couldn't have gone any better.
Sofía was the worst assistant in history.
And it made for such a good act.
When I wink, you grab the sword and you pull it out.
- No, I'm not going to pull it! - Yes!
[crowd screaming]
- No, I beg you, I can't pull it.
* *
- Pull on the sword!
- I can't!
- It was so much fun.
Thank you.
I got through to the semifinals.
And that act really made the judges uneasy.
- That is an endoscopic camera.
We're using that and going in. - No!
- I mean, I should have known.
I had the world's most famous germaphobe
shoving a camera down my throat
to find a toy that I swallowed when I was a kid.
I think it was too gross for them.
And it was definitely too gross for America.
So that's where I ended
my "America's Got Talent" journey.
Since being on "America's Got Talent,"
I moved to Las Vegas to pursue performing.
And I had my very own Halloween special.
[ghost screaming]
But I see all these alumni of "America's Got Talent"
that landed in Vegas.
They're on billboards.
They're selling tickets.
They've got their resident show.
I want that. I want a piece of it.
I knew that I had to come back
because the journey wasn't done.
[cheers and applause]
[dramatic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
Ladies and gentlemen, I need the assistance
of one of the judges.
Heidi. - Again?
- Really? - Please join me onstage.
- Yes! - Yes, really.
Heidi Klum, everybody!
Give her a round of applause.
[cheers and applause]
- Hi.
- Heidi... - Hi.
- Thank you for joining me.
- Oh, I'm so excited you picked me.
- You and I are going to do something
really amazing together.
But first, I need you to blow that up.
That's an animal balloon. - OK.
- Go ahead, give it--yeah.
- [blowing noisily]
- Take your time.
OK-- [buzzer blares]
[laughter]
- That was a joke.
- Oh, oh, oh, that was for her.
- OK, you can take it away.
- Take it away.
[cheers and applause]
I'll do it myself.
[suspenseful music]
* *
Heidi, you and I are going to do something incredible.
I am going to make an animal balloon onstage in a way
that no one else has ever done in the world.
Oh, get this--I'm going to do it psychically.
- Yeah! - Don't patronize me.
[laughter]
Hey, Terry, Terry, can you just come out here for a second?
Terry Crews, everybody. - You got it. You got it.
Hey. [cheers and applause]
- Terry, I need you to think of an animal.
You got it? Lock it in your head, OK?
Don't say it out loud. - I got it.
- OK, here we go. Heidi?
- Yes. - Let's do this.
I need some help. Everybody, go! Go! Go! Go!
[all chanting "go"]
- Oh.
Oh, oh. Oh!
[audience screaming] [Heidi groaning]
[balloon squeaking]
* *
- Yeah, no, wait, I have--
I have a giant Magic Marker right here.
It's a--just go with it.
I have a giant marker.
- Oh!
[groaning]
- It popped.
[balloon squealing]
[squeaks]
[audience screaming]
- Oh, my God!
[belches]
[weakly] Ta-da.
[cheers and applause]
Heidi, have a seat.
Give her a hand, folks.
Heidi--Heidi Klum, everybody.
- I was fabulous.
- She did the best she could.
[cheers and applause]
[buzzer blares]
That was for her. - That was for you.
- OK, all right, all right.
Out of curiosity, what animal were you thinking of?
- Aardvark. - Aardvark?
- Yeah.
- [coughing]
* *
[audience screaming]
Aardvark.
[laughter]
No, no, if you look, on the balloon,
"aardvark."
- It does--says aardvark.
- It says aardvark.
[cheers and applause]
[Imagine Dragons' "Walking the Wire"]
- Ew. - It says aardvark!
- * We're walking the wire *
- Oh!
[laughter] - * We're gonna be brighter *
* Oh *
- Thank you.
- * We're walking the wire, wire, wire *
- I've missed you. - I missed you.
- I know. I mean, I've really missed you.
I mean, you are hilarious. - Thank you.
- You are incredible, and you make me laugh.
- Thank you. - What did you think, Simon?
- It was like being at a very weird children's party.
[laughter] - Thank you.
- I don't know, it just took a long time
to get there, I think.
And the end wasn't very impressive.
I mean, look, Brett, I like you.
However, this is called "All-Stars."
And we do expect people to come back
and hopefully wow us,
and you didn't.
[crowd booing]
- Heidi and I, I don't think we agree with you.
- No, we don't.
- I don't think we agree with you.
[cheers and applause]
And you know what? You're funny.
You're a crowd-pleaser.
You're a great magician.
It's a combination of amazing and disgusting all in one.
- The good thing is... - I love it.
- It is not up to us.
It's up to the superfans, so--
[cheers and applause]
- Thank you, everybody.
Thanks.
- Aww.
* *
- * Look out down below *
- Aardvark?
I--well, you said think of an animal!
I--you know what?
It went alphabetical, OK?
- All right, all right. - All right?
[laughs]
Coming up...
- What's going on, "AGT"?
- I wanted to come back to the scene of the crime
because I was robbed.
[laughter]
[dramatic music]
- [braying, screaming]
[buzzer blaring repeatedly]
- The last act going into the finals is...
- So here we go, folks.
We're gonna be moving on to our next act
in just a few moments.
- Simon, as the boss of this whole deal,
can you call one of the employees
to come and take this away, please?
- Yes.
Actually, I'll do it for you because I'm your friend.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Wow. - You're really gonna hold it?
- Wow.
What are you doing?
[audience screaming]
Go. Go.
[audience groaning]
- Who wants it?
Anyone? No? No?
[laughs] Thank you.
Thank you very much.
[quirky music]
God, what has happened to my life?
[laughter]
- All right, here we go, folks.
Here we go.
[cheers and applause]
- Yes!
- What's going on, "AGT"?
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Amazing. It's been amazing. - You look amazing.
Right, can we start from the beginning, please?
- Well, my name is Flau'jae. I'm 18.
I'm from a small town, Savannah, Georgia.
[cheers and applause]
- Is your mum here with you today?
- Absolutely. There she go, right there.
- Where's your mum?
- Hi!
- Nice to have you back, Mum.
How old were you when you came on the show?
- I was 14.
- 14, that's what I thought.
And you were very young at the time,
so that must have been a lot of pressure.
- It was definitely a lot of pressure,
but I feel like pressure either break pipes
or it make diamonds, and I like diamonds.
[cheers and applause]
[Duomo's "This Too Shall Pass" playing]
- When I first came into the show,
my goal was just to tell my story.
First off, I'm a rapper.
My father, he was a rapper.
And...
he died before I was born.
He got murdered.
And my mom was pregnant with me,
so he couldn't really fulfill his dream.
So that's what I'm here to do.
My dad name was Camouflage.
I never got to touch him, never got to hug him,
never got to even talk to him.
When I listened to my father's music,
I felt like that's a way that we could,
like, have that connection.
* *
- * And if you would have put that gun down *
* Then they would have been here right now *
* Everybody, put your guns down *
[cheers and applause]
My first audition, I performed an original song.
- This has been my favorite audition
by a clear mile today, Flau'jae.
- Oh, my--
It's just a feeling you will never forget.
Every time you think back at it, it gets you.
* You've been hesitant every day *
* Looking and staring up * [rapid rapping]
- I love you. You're a star.
I think people need to vote for you and send you--
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
After that, I was like, OK, what's next?
Like, I could win this thing.
But...
- The first act going into the semifinals...
We Three!
- Oh, my God, I was hurt.
But it ignited a fire in me.
Like, I could be better than that.
* *
- I remember after "AGT," I got the key to my city.
I was signed to Roc Nation EQ.
I'm opening for all these big artists.
So I perform in front of, like, 50,000 people.
- Broke out into the world of hip-hop and basketball.
- After that, I started my career in basketball.
I won the Jordan Classic MVP.
I got ranked, like, top 25 in the nation.
I came off "America's Got Talent,"
and I did everything I said I was gonna do.
But I'm a competitor.
And that's why I'm back on "All-Stars,"
because I want the win.
Last time, it was, like, all about
fulfilling my father's legacy.
Like, that's all that I wanted to do.
And now, this time, I could tell my story.
[dramatic music]
[cheers and applause] - Good luck.
- Let's do it.
- You nervous, Mama?
- No, not nervous at all.
- You don't feel the-- I'm nervous.
- I'm not nervous at all.
- You're not nervous at all?
- I created a beast.
- You--whoa.
[cheers and applause]
- All right, here we go.
- * Look, it's crazy I'm the one *
* They want to represent *
* Young Black girl, I could probably be the president *
* I'm the voice of the youth *
* You hear my tone? I think it's evident *
* I know who I am *
* They mistake my confidence for arrogance *
* I, I think it's different *
* 'Cause I don't take my clothes off *
* I just play my role, dawg *
* I can't sell my soul, y'all *
* I just shoot a 3, put my arm up *
* I guess I show off *
* They sleep, I let 'em doze *
* I wake 'em up, oh, yeah, it's *
* OK, my chocolate is beautiful *
* I'm rocking it per usual *
* I'm lovin' every piece, man, from my top into my cuticles *
* Trying to play with my head *
* Real love won't be confusing you *
* I learned, make sure the one you putting first *
* Is also choosing you, man *
* Life is so crazy, many lessons and blessings *
* I'm steady stressing perfection *
* I keep neglecting my ethics *
* So much text in the message, trying to lessen my stressin' *
* Finally understand my power, my presence is essence *
* They killed my daddy while my mama was pregnant *
* How I'm supposed to feel? *
* And they took my grandma child from her *
* How she's supposed to heal? *
* And we out here starving, ain't got nothing *
* How we supposed to give? *
* Seem like the system they set us up in, we supposed to fail *
* Ready or not, man, it's my time now *
* I done gave it everything I've got *
* It's time to shine now *
* They done blew the whistle,
* And my foot across the line now *
* Clock is tickin' down, ain't got no 30-second timeout *
* For real, though, I know I done made it *
* I don't seek in applause *
* I vow to never waste my voice if I don't speak for a cause *
* I reminisce, man, I just think and I pause *
* My mama told me, you keep shootin' for the moon *
* You will have a seat with them stars *
* And I'm like, ready or not, here I come,
* You can't hide, why? *
* I'm gonna * - * Find you *
- Hey, sing it with me, "AGT."
- * And take it slowly *
- * And I'm like ready or not, here I come *
* You can't hide, why? *
* I'm gonna * - * Find you *
- I see you.
* And take it slowly *
* Young thug, I'm tryin' to leave it *
* Better than I found it *
* Oh, I found *
* I'm tryin' to leave it better than I found it *
* Oh, look *
* And it's too late to save us *
* We gotta save these kids *
* It's too late to save us *
* We gotta save these kids, whoa *
[cheers and applause]
- * Shine bright like a diamond *
[Rihanna's "Diamonds"]
* Shine bright like a diamond *
- Wow.
Ready or not.
* Bright light in a beautiful sea *
* I choose to be happy *
- You are a beast to be reckoned with.
You're incredibly talented.
You are a poet.
You are a songstress.
You are an entertainer.
And as far as "AGT: All-Stars" go,
you, at this moment, are my MVP.
- Whoa.
- * A vision of ecstasy *
- Heidi?
- Well, I feel like you are talented and wise
beyond your years.
I think it's amazing what you do, how you do it.
And it's always special to watch.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
- Yeah.
- I'll be honest, Flau'jae,
I felt very emotional during that.
You know, you were 14 when you first came on this show.
And you came back so much better
than you were before now.
I mean, there's no question about it.
You're already a star, and now you're an all-star.
I know you're going to be a big star.
And I feel very proud. I thank you.
- Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
- * We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky *
- Thank you. - * Eye to eye *
- Wow.
- Yeah, she's good.
- Flau'jae, that was absolutely incredible.
Talk to me.
What does it mean to hear those words?
- It mean a lot to me, like, especially when you take
your craft serious, and you have people like that
telling you, like, you on your way
and you a star and stuff like that.
It just mean a lot.
- I mean, it was like having a big star
coming back and doing a record.
- Oh, my God!
- * Shine bright like a diamond *
- OK, here we go, guys. Clearing stage.
- You guys having a good time? You guys having fun?
- OK, everyone.
[cheers and applause]
- Josh Blue, go out there and make it happen, man.
They're ready for you.
[inspirational music]
[cheers and applause]
- Josh!
[cheers and applause]
- Standing ovation.
* *
He hasn't even said a word.
- Josh Blue.
Feel the love, buddy.
- Hello.
- Welcome back, buddy. - Thank you, man.
I missed you guys.
- Josh, you're a comedian.
And you were in the top three, right?
- Yes, I got third place.
- You got third place on "AGT."
What's going through your mind that makes you want
to come back to "AGT: All-Stars"?
- I wanted to come back to the scene of the crime...
[laughter] - Yes.
- Because I was robbed.
- Oh, snap!
- [laughs]
[cheers and applause]
- After "AGT," was there a difference in your career,
in your life?
- Well, actually, I started a business.
- Of broccoli T-shirts?
- No, I've been making these.
- Ah. [laughter]
- I figure, I'm disabled.
I could just make 'em, right?
And this one's for you, Simon.
- [laughs] - Oh.
- For your next bike ride, right?
- You're very naughty.
[upbeat music]
- My name is Josh Blue, and I'm 43 years old.
I was on season 16 of "America's Got Talent."
I'm a stand-up comedian and a stand-up guy
that falls down a lot.
I have cerebral palsy.
I like to get that out of the way early.
Otherwise, they're like, "This guy is drunk, man."
[laughter]
I've always just been funny.
Even when I was a kid, I could heckle the teacher.
And I wouldn't get in trouble because even the teacher
was laughing at what I said.
And then when I was in my early 20s, I started performing.
Now, I want you to laugh good and hard
because this is my Make-A-Wish.
[Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now"]
Making people laugh is my life.
- You were so close to becoming the first comedian
to ever win "AGT," man. - I know!
I wanted it.
- It was like-- [groans]
- You have a chance of winning this whole thing.
- Thank you. - Yeah!
- And when it came down to three of us left onstage,
I was like, "I'm gonna win."
- The act finishing in third place
and leaving the competition is...
Josh Blue.
- * Ooh, ooh, ooh *
- Obviously, I was disappointed
that I didn't come home a winner.
But my dream was to always just be a stand-up comedian.
And "AGT" launched that into the stratosphere.
* *
I've just been touring non-stop.
Every show I've done has been sold out.
But the truth is, I do have a chip on my shoulder.
I want to win.
Third place is great, but first place is way better.
[dramatic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
Thank you so much.
Please sit down. I have a limited time here.
[laughter]
Look, I'm a father.
And I love being a dad.
[cheers and applause] Yeah.
But does anybody else think it's weird
that you can accidentally make a person?
[laughter]
I can't even on purpose make a birdhouse,
and I've accidentally made two people.
[laughter, applause]
Yeah. - "I can't make a birdhouse."
- My kids are big now.
But I love babies.
That was my favorite.
I did make people nervous, though.
I had a lot of people running up to me--
"Hey, didn't anybody tell you not to shake a baby?"
I'm like, "Well, I'm just holding him."
- [laughing] Oh, my God.
- [groans] Oh! [laughs]
- Don't tell me how to raise my kids, all right?
- [laughs]
- You guys know about babyproofing your house?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- You know how you have a gate
at the bottom of the stairs?
- Yeah.
- Did you know that you also need one at the top?
[laughter]
Yeah, if you don't have that one at the top,
the one at the bottom just acts as a strainer.
[laughter]
[applause]
But because we had a gate at the bottom and a gate
at the top, we used to just keep the kids on the stairs.
[laughter]
- Whoo!
- Yeah, yeah, just raising little mountain goats.
[laughter]
We live in Denver.
I'd take 'em up to the Rockies,
and they'd just scamper up the side.
[laughter]
So majestic.
[cheers and applause]
One of my favorite things about when they were babies,
I liked taking the kids out in the stroller.
It's an activity I could do, you know?
I had one of those double-wides.
And I'd just push them around the neighborhood.
But the thing is, when you see me coming down the street
pushing a stroller, when you look in there,
you're expecting to see, like,
a bucket of doorknobs.
[laughter]
[cheering]
Yeah, the looks on people's faces
when they see little mountain goats--
"Oh, my God, that homeless guy got some goats."
[laughter]
Hey, you guys are awesome.
Thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]
- Yeah, Josh Blue!
[Ben Rector's "Brand New" playing]
* *
- You're welcome. Thank you.
* *
- You know, a comedian is supposed
to make everyone laugh.
And you get the laughs.
And I love you because you have such sweet nature.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, what's not to love about you?
* *
- Simon?
- Josh, I mean, what can I say?
I mean, look, the audience reaction
says it all, doesn't it?
I mean, if they're not laughing, you're terrible.
If they're laughing, you're great, so you're great.
- Well, thank you. Thank you so much.
- We don't have a Golden Buzzer.
But I think the superfans are going to put
you through to the finals.
I think that. I really do.
* *
- Now, more than ever-- I think I've said this before--
you know, it's not my saying, it's an old saying.
It's, "Laughter is the best medicine."
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I think you are the cure, you are the medicine.
You gave us what we need more than anything else.
Well, it's up to the superfans now.
You're amazing.
Thank you, Josh.
- We love you! Go, Josh!
* *
- Yes!
* *
- Josh, what do you think about what Howie just said
about you being the best medicine,
you're incredible?
- I couldn't hear him.
I don't know what he said.
- [laughs]
[cheers and applause]
- Ladies and gentleman, final performance of the evening.
Are you ready?
- It's our last one now.
- No, I don't want to do a last one.
Let's do 10 more!
[cheers and applause]
[gate bangs]
- Here we go. Here we go.
- What the heck is this?
- One act left. How are we feeling?
- I'm very excited.
- Saved the best for last.
[boom mic thuds, whines]
- Oh, sorry.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Um, who are you?
- I'm Sethward.
I've been on "AGT" more than any other contestant
in the history of "America's Got Talent."
My name is Sethward the caterpillar.
Sethward the giraffe.
I'm Sethward the walrus.
Sethward the peacock!
Sethward the worm!
No one has received more buzzers than I have.
[buzzers blaring]
I tried so hard.
I hurt a lot.
Simon said many times he doesn't like me.
- This is the worst act we've had.
It's four noes. Goodbye.
- But I think having the gumption
to come back again and again,
that's what makes me an all-star.
I'm like the all-star all-star.
I mean, whether the judges believe it or not,
I think I deserve to be here.
So I am putting everything I have
into this performance.
Like, literal sweat, literal blood,
and literal tears.
I'm here at "America's Got Talent: All-Stars"
to show that I really am the greatest of all time.
- * You're a winner *
* It took so long *
* We worked so hard *
* We came so far just to compete *
* You're a winner, you're a winner *
* I'm a winner *
* Enjoy it while it lasts *
- * 'Cause you're a winner *
- [bleats]
I'm Sethward the goat!
[bleats]
[dramatic music]
* *
So you guys thought you could have
an all-stars without the GOAT?
- Who invited you on this show?
[laughter] - Who didn't invite me?
[laughter] - Me.
- You guys got any food?
- No.
Well, he sometimes has snacks. - Well, you have tangerines.
- He's got snacks.
- Whoa! [audience shouting]
- [bleating] I'm OK.
- That's for you, Sethward. - Those are Cuties.
- Whoa, food. - Cuties.
- You want me to peel it for you?
Are you good? - No, I'm good.
- Oh, no.
- Mind your teeth.
- Oh, just squirting. Squirting.
- He's spitting on me.
- No, he's eating your mic.
He's eating the plates.
- I can pretty much eat anything.
[buzzer blares]
- Ahh!
- Oh.
- Sorry, I can't really do loud noises.
I'm one of those fainting goats.
- Are you going to sing a song for us today, Sethward?
- I can sing whatever you want.
- Up there, up there, please.
- [screaming]
- Wow.
- Did you forget the words?
- No, that's goat language.
Here's the second verse.
- OK.
- [bleating softly]
[screaming]
[laughter]
- Right, that's it. That's it.
- Wait, Simon-- - No more.
- I want to prove to you, Simon,
that I'm the greatest of all time.
- This is not an act.
[crowd booing]
[buzzer thudding]
- You broke his red-- - It's not working.
- [bleats] My--
my leg broke during that last faint.
- Oh, you broke the leg? - Well, whatever.
[laughter]
- It's OK.
I'm very versatile.
Ain't nothing can keep me down.
Let me see if they can fix my leg.
- Where are you going? - Whoa!
[groans] [audience clamoring]
- He broke the screen.
- You broke the screen. - Oopsie.
- It's OK. You guys have lots of money.
- Yeah. [laughter]
- What is his problem?
- That's it, guys.
You have to promise me if I climb up this mountain
over here, I win $1 million.
- No, no way.
- Did y'all hear that? He said yes.
- I'm not betting you anything.
[triumphant music] - He didn't say yes.
- [bleats]
Here it goes.
[grunting]
I'm almost there.
[cheers and applause]
* *
[bleating]
[buzzers blare]
- Oh!
- Ahh!
[crowd booing]
It was Simon who was buzzing.
- Simon buzzed. - Oh, so they don't count.
- They don't. - No.
[laughter]
* *
[cheers and applause]
* *
[cheers and applause]
- Oh! [audience screaming]
- I got the Golden Buzzer!
[cheers and applause]
- Well, the guy's insane.
- Wow!
- Broke every limb.
- To be honest, me,
I have lost all perspective on this act.
So I'm so happy that we have superfans that are voting.
- No, they're not.
- You might still win this whole thing
because it's not up to us.
It's up to the superfans. - He's not.
He's not gonna win. - Yeah!
- They're not gonna vote.
He shouldn't even be here.
- [grunts]
- OK, hey, Sethward--
hey, listen, Simon buzzed you,
but Heidi and Howie didn't, so it's up to the superfans!
- Yeah! - Up to the superfans!
[cheers and applause]
- All right, come on now.
- Bye, Seth. - Good job.
- I'm the greatest of all time!
- Good luck!
[Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is" playing]
- Why are they standing up?
* *
- [indistinct]
Go get your rest.
Let him rest.
I'm gonna let him rest.
Coming up, we've seen 10 performances,
but only one of them is going into the finals.
It's all down to the panel of superfans
from all across America.
Let's find out who they put into the finals.
- OK, we've seen all of the acts.
Everyone has used their Golden Buzzers.
So right now, there are 10 acts competing
for just one spot in the finals.
It's all down to how the superfans voted.
[dramatic music]
- There is no other word to describe
what you do than amazing.
You're truly an all-star.
- I'm here to show Simon and America
why I deserve to be an all-star.
- I think you were better this time
than you were five years ago.
- Laughter is the best medicine.
You gave us what we need.
- It is such a privileged position
to be here again now.
This is my journey.
- It was thoroughly entertaining,
and I think the superfans are going to like it.
- I'm a competitor, so I don't like to lose.
And that's why I'm back on "All-Star"
because I want the win.
- Your voice was beautiful.
You really do have an amazing talent.
- I knew that I had to come back
because the journey wasn't done.
- I'm the greatest of all time!
- Here we go.
The superfans have watched, and they've voted.
- Who is it going to be?
- In no particular order, the first act
in the top three is...
[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

* *
- Josh Blue!
[cheers and applause]
* *
- The rest of you, thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]
Howie, what do you want to say to this top three here?
- You know, this is called "AGT: All-Stars,"
and this exemplifies because you are all stars.
[cheers and applause]
- OK, let's find out who finished in third place.
- These three should be in the final.
- Oh, wow.
- I can't believe one of these is going home.
- The act finishing in third place
and leaving the competition is...
[cheers and applause]
* *
Josh Blue.
- Aww!
- Josh, thank you so much.
- He got third place again.
- I know. I can't believe it.
- So we are down to the top two--
Brandon Leake and Kodi Lee.
[crowd chanting]
- The act going into the final is...
- Wow.
* *
This is crazy.
- Crazy.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Kodi Lee!
[wild cheering]
[triumphant music]
* *
One more time for Brandon Leake, y'all.
Amazing!
Simon, what do you think?
- I can see you're almost more excited than the last time.
But you know, that's what we love about you.
Kodi, you are a real competitor and such a star.
It was so tough to lose people tonight.
However, you so deserve to be at the final.
[cheers and applause]
- So Kodi Lee is through and will be back
to compete one more time in the finals.
- Whoo!
- I am Terry Crews.
Good night, America!
- Heck yeah.
