[cheers and applause]
- This is "AGT: Fantasy League."
- There's two competitions going on,
one between the acts
and there's one between the judges.
- Hello, and welcome to the semi-finals
of "AGT: Fantasy League."
I'm Matthew Berry, here to do what I normally do,
break down what happened in the first round.
Now, the four judges drafted teams of ten performers each.
- One of my favorite acts of all time.
- I will show you funny.
- They are so good.
- Oh, yes.
- Let the games begin.
- The competition was on.
- My squad is better than your squad.
- My team are going to crush you, Howie.
- This is bad mentoring.
- [laughs]
- Each judge had one chance to send an act to the finals.
Let's check out the replay.
- Guess who has the Golden Buzzer tonight. Me.
- Mel B coming in with a trick play,
snatching one of Simon's favorites
right out from under him.
Oh, man, he is not a happy camper.
- You can do so much better.
- And Howie breaks a tackle from Heidi,
leads with his head, and he claims
the Ramadhani Brothers for his own.
- I'm gonna give you something from my heart.
- Simon throws Sainted a Hail Mary
and sends his own act straight to the finals.
- Timing is everything.
- And here's Klum, bringing down the hammer
on the Golden Buzzer and confirming
Sofie Dossi moves on to the finals
for Dream Team Heidi.
And the rest of the acts were put through to the semi-finals
by the voting audience.
- Yes! [cheers and applause]
- [laughs]
- Oh, my God, what a night!
- Yes!
- The first round of the semi-finals begins right now.
Terry, take it away.
- Thank you, Matthew.
It's time to meet your competitors.
Give it up for Simon's Dream Team,
Kodi Lee, Loren Allred, and Pack Drumline;
Mel's Dream Team, Ghetto Kids and Vardanyan Brothers;
Heidi's Dream Team, Enkh-Erdene and Aidan Bryant;
and Howie's Dream Team, Preacher Lawson,
Anna DeGuzman, and Kristy Sellars.
[dramatic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
- Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host,
Terry Crews.
- It's showtime.
- * I'm a champion *
* Whoa, whoa, whoa *
* Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm a champion *
- It's the first semi-final.
It's "AGT: Fantasy League."
- * Whoa, whoa, whoa *
* Whoa, whoa, whoa *
- This competition just got a lot tougher,
because out of the ten acts
coming up, only three acts
will secure a spot
in the finals.
This is gonna be tough for the audience voters
because tonight, they can pick
only one act to make the finals.
- One! - Just one.
- Count 'em, just one.
But two more will also go through
because there will be two Golden Buzzers,
one from Howie...
- Yes.
- And one from Mel B.
Now, remember, they don't have to pick
one of their own Dream Team acts.
They can use the Golden Buzzer to take
an act from another judge.
- Why would you do that?
- It all gets crazy competitive
down there at the desk.
- What if they don't want to be on someone else's team?
- Exactly, what if they don't want to change?
- That's something that they have no control over.
[laughter]
Now, Simon, just one act will be put through.
What are your thoughts?
- I'm looking at who's on tonight, Terry,
I mean, impossible.
The performances have been really, really incredible.
- OK, let's unleash the talent.
- Hoo! Let the excitement begin.
- Ten acts, two Golden Buzzers,
one audience pick for the finals.
Let's find out who's one step closer to winning $250,000.
Are you ready?
[cheers and applause]
- You nervous? - Of course.
I don't want to lose any act.
- OK, we start with an act from Howie's Dream Team.
Every so often, a talent comes along
who totally rewrites the playbook on an art form.
She finished as runner-up on "AGT" in 2022.
From Victoria, Australia, here's Kristy Sellars.
- The first round, I was super nervous before I went on.
But then I walked out
and, like, the crowd stood up.
Like, we appreciate you. We missed you.
* *
- This, I believe, is her best one we've ever seen.
- Absolutely.
- Kristy Sellars.
[cheers and applause]
- This time, I am definitely bringing a whole new story,
a whole new show.
- How did you come up with the idea for the story tonight?
- The character's based on my youngest son.
He's five.
And he loves climbing the poles.
There are 12 poles in the room that I train in.
But he has to be on the one that I'm on.
[laughs]
Ollie is autistic, so he doesn't really talk yet.
To have that connection with him is really special.
[sniffles]
* *
Yeah, hopefully he'll talk about it one day.
[chuckles]
- So you're celebrating
his character. - Yeah.
- 'Cause you see the humor in it.
You see the beauty in it.
You see the purity in it. - Yeah.
- And we all want to see that through you.
- All right, that's it. We're in.
- I'm trying to push the envelope.
And I'm scared, to be honest,
because the last time I was on "AGT," I was second place.
- You got this.
- And "Fantasy League" is like a step up again.
Every single act that's on the stage is, like--
is incredible.
- All right, here we go, guys.
- I'm hoping that my kids seeing me
do these hard things, that they're not afraid
to chase their dreams.
So yeah, I want to win.
[laughs]
[cheers and applause]
[enchanting music]
* *
- Whoa! [cheers and applause]
* *
[Sybrid's "Believer (feat. Plexxaglass)"]
- * First things first *
* I'ma say all the words inside my head *
* I'm fired up and tired *
* Of the way that things have been *
* Oh, ooh *
- That's beautiful.
- * The way that things have been *
* Oh, oh, oh *
* Second things second *
* Don't you tell me what you think that I can be *
* I'm the one at the sail *
* I'm the master of my sea *
* Oh, ooh *
- Look at that.
- * I was broken from a young age *
* Taking my sulking to the masses *
* Writing my poems for the few that look to me *
* Took to me, shook to me, feeling me *
* Singing my heartache from the pain *
* Taking my message from my veins *
- That is so cool.
- * Seeing the beauty through the *
* Pain, you made me a, you made me a believer *
* Believer *
* Pain, you break me down, you build me up, believer *
- * Third things third *
* Send a prayer to the ones up above *
* All the hate that you've heard *
* Has turned your spirit to a dove *
* Oh, ooh *
* Your spirit up above *
* Oh, oh *
* I was choking in the crowd *
* Building my rain up in the cloud *
* Falling like ashes to the ground *
* Hoping my feelings, they would drown *
* But they never did, ever lived *
* Ebbing and flowing, inhibited, limited *
* Till it broke open and rained down *
* It rained down like *
* Pain, you made me a, you made me a believer *
* Believer *
[cheers and applause]
* *
* Pain, you break me down, you build me up, believer *
* Believer *
* Pain, you made me a, you made me a believer *
* Believer *
* *
[cheers and applause]
[exciting music]
- Yes! - She got a standing ovation.
Oh, my gosh.
- Kristy Sellars.
Heidi.
- It was absolute perfection.
I am jealous that she is on your Dream Team
and not on mine. [laughter]
I mean, you are such an amazing athlete.
You know, I love your imagination.
It was beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
[cheers and applause] - Thanks so much.
- Mel B.
- The precision and how much time and energy and effort
and rehearsal you had to put into that.
Because everything was perfect.
You did yourself proud, your son proud.
Well done.
[cheers and applause]
- Simon.
- You know what?
You sometimes think, I've seen everything.
And then you see an act like that
and you go, no, I haven't seen everything.
Because every part of that, in my opinion, was perfection.
[cheers and applause] - Thank you.
- You got to vote for her.
Vote for her.
- Did Kristy wow the audience voters
enough to make the finals?
We will find out later tonight.
One more time for Kristy Sellars.
[cheers and applause]
- You're amazing.
- That's how you kick off a show.
- Coming up...
we've got singing sensations, death defiers,
and "AGT" legends all fighting it out
for their spot in the finals.
You're not gonna want to miss a thing.
[cheers and applause]
[exciting music]
- Simon Cowell so wanted to have
this singer on his Dream Team.
She's already had an incredible career out of the spotlight.
Is this her time to shine?
She's from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
She's Loren Allred.
- I've always loved singing.
But at the same time, I've always struggled with nerves
and putting myself out there.
Some of you guys have actually heard my voice.
But you don't know my face.
I sang the song "Never Enough" on "The Greatest Showman."
- No, you did not. - Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God!
- When I found out Simon was my mentor,
I really was so excited.
To get his advice and mentorship
is just such a huge opportunity.
* For me *
- No one knows it was you.
And now you've got the guts to come back and tell America,
this is me.
- * For me *
When I finished that last note and closed my eyes,
I opened them and saw everyone standing on their feet
and cheering for me and saying my name.
And I'd never really experienced that.
* *
"Never Enough" put me on the map.
But there's so much more to me than that song.
- I mean, look, with someone like you,
there's a million songs.
But to do something which is almost showcasing your talent,
that has to be your goal.
- Yes. - Take your seats, please.
Here we go.
- I am singing a beloved classic song.
But I'll be doing my own spin on the song.
- Did you pick the song, Simon?
- Look how excited he is.
- I've spent decades trying to make it.
I've had ups and downs. I've quit.
I've concluded that I am better off
just singing behind the scenes.
But now I'm finally ready.
And I have so much to give.
And if I could just make it to the finals,
it would mean the world to me.
* *
[cheers and applause]
- * Somewhere *
* Over the rainbow *
* Way up high *
* There's a land *
* That I heard of once *
* In a lullaby *
[cheers and applause]
* Someday I'll wish upon a star *
* And wake up where the clouds *
* Are far behind *
* Me *
* Where troubles melt like lemon drops *
* Way above the chimney tops *
* That's where you'll find *
* Me *
* Somewhere *
* Over the rainbow *
* Skies are blue *
* And the dreams *
* That you dare to dream *
* Really do come true *
* Ooh, ooh, ooh *
[cheers and applause]
* If happy little bluebirds fly *
* Beyond the rainbow *
* Why, oh, why *
* Can't *
[holding note]
- That was good. - Wow.
- * I *
[cheers and applause] - Beautiful.
- That was good.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
- Beautiful. - Beautiful.
[cheers and applause]
[triumphant music]
- Loren Allred.
[cheers and applause]
Simon, wow.
- Wow, wow, Loren.
That was what I call a masterclass.
- Thank you, Simon.
- That's how you do it.
- Heidi.
- I think I can speak for everyone in this room.
But you were giving us all the feels.
- Ooh!
- I mean, and you just sounded just so beautiful.
- Mel B.
- You have a voice that is just to die for, literally.
I mean, you could sing absolutely anything,
which is actually my point.
'Cause I think if I was your mentor,
I would have chosen a different song
'cause you could have had everybody
in this audience crying.
[crowd booing]
- What, like "Wannabe"?
[laughter]
- Oh!
- Oh, man.
Howie, let's move on.
- Good job there's not much left in this.
[laughter] - Howie.
- It's up to the audience.
They can only pick one.
But I loved it. America's gonna love it.
You're amazing.
- Thank you, Howie.
- Loren's fate now lies with the audience voters.
One more time for Loren Allred.
[cheers and applause]
- Why did you not push the Golden Buzzer for her?
- She deserved it. I was so--
- Why wouldn't you do that? - Because I was so emotional.
- I was thinking that.
- You better not steal one of my acts.
[exciting music]
- Here's one of Heidi's Dream Team.
He was the winner of "AGT: All-Stars."
And he's a creative, daring aerialist.
And check this, he taught himself everything
in his mother's backyard.
From Prince George, Virginia, it's Aidan Bryant.
[cheers and applause]
[dramatic music]
- Aidan growing up was very self-motivated,
very self-disciplined.
When he started doing his aerial,
he'd practice outside every day after school.
We would videotape all his practices.
And he would come up, "what does it look like, Mom?"
And I'd show him.
And I thought it looked-- it looks beautiful.
He's like, "nope, that doesn't look good.
Let's do it again."
And that's how he got better and better.
* *
- Smooth and seamless.
And it's so graceful.
It is perfection.
[cheers and applause]
- What did you think of last show?
- I was very nervous.
And when I got offstage, I wasn't super confident.
- Yeah, but everyone loved it.
Everyone loved it. I thought it was fantastic.
- I know I've won before.
But I always expect bigger for myself and my dreams.
Trying to add more danger into my performances.
I'm literally risking-- I'm risking a lot on the stage.
- No, I know. But don't risk too much.
'Cause this is no joke, how you fly around there.
- I've come so far from a little kid in his backyard.
I'm only 19, and I'm starring in a Vegas show
on the Las Vegas Strip, which is freaking crazy.
Now I'm putting my title on the line tonight,
up against full-time professional performers.
It's definitely scary.
It just needs to be right because I absolutely
want to make it to the finals.
So this performance literally has to be perfect.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Look how gorgeous he is.
Mwah!
I know you're not supposed to have favorite children.
But, you know, you just feel something in your stomach
and your heart for someone.
And for me, that has always been Aidan.
He was really unhappy because he thought he did
so many mistakes last time.
- I didn't notice. Did you?
- No, I thought it was flawless.
And what he's doing today is even crazier, more dangerous.
And he wants this so bad, which is amazing
because he won once before. And he wants it again.
* *
- Mel.
Mel, press the Golden Buzzer now.
- Shh. - No.
- All right, ten seconds. - Guys, please.
He needs to focus. And I can't focus either.
- Applause, folks.
[cheers and applause]
[thunder booming]
- * Who's watching *
* Watching, watching *
* Who's watching me *
* *
- Be careful.
- * I always feel like *
* Somebody's watching me *
* Watching me, watching me *
[thunder booming]
* *
* I always feel like *
- Oh, my God. [cheers and applause]
- * Somebody's watching me *
* Watching me *
* *
* Who's watching *
* Tell me, who's watching me *
* Who's watching *
[cheers and applause]
* Somebody's watching me *
* I always feel like *
* Somebody's watching me *
* I always feel like *
* Somebody's watching me *
- Yes! - * I always feel like *
* *
- * Whoa, oh *
- * Somebody's watching me *
[cheers and applause]
[dramatic music]
* *
- Aidan Bryant.
[cheers and applause]
Heidi.
- I mean, you know, Aidan, I get choked up every time
when I see you perform.
I know how much you want it.
You are absolutely unbelievable.
- Thank you, Heidi.
- Unbelievable.
- Mel B.
- [sighs] I'm speechless, honestly.
- That's never happened. [laughter]
- Can I just say something? - Yeah.
- I think this performance was in
a league of its own, genuinely.
I mean, to do that, you know, without any stops,
I mean, it was dangerous.
It was brilliant.
And it was--you just--
your imagination and you--
- Oh, come on.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Oh, my God. - Wow.
* *
- I had to, I'm sorry.
- Thanks for that. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, but I had to. You were going on too much.
[cheers and applause]
- No!
* *
- Literally, you have made me have goose bumps.
Oh, oh.
- [crying]
- I had to. - Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry.
- I literally had to.
- Aidan Bryant, you just got the Golden Buzzer
from Mel B.
[cheers and applause]
Mel B has now taken Aidan Bryant
from Heidi's Dream Team to her Dream Team.
* *
Aidan, how does this make you feel, man?
- I've never gotten a Golden Buzzer before.
So this is my night.
I'm so blessed.
- Mel B, what do you want to say to your new Team Mel?
- I mean-- - And your ex-friend?
- I mean-- [laughter]
I was literally speechless.
And I think I still am.
My Golden Buzzer says it all.
You're just incredible.
- Thank you. Thank you. - You really are.
- Heidi, how do you feel right now, losing Aidan?
- Obviously, I would love for you to still be on my team.
But you're in the finale and that's most important.
- Yes, thank you so much for your mentoring.
Thank you.
- All right, make some noise
one more time for Aidan Bryant.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Nice, Mel, very nice.
- Yeah, but that was so good.
- Well, I know.
* *
- America, are you ready for your audition?
- This really is what the show is all about.
- Come show us your talent in person on February 4th
at the Pasadena Civic Center in Los Angeles.
Go to AGTAuditions.com for details.
See you there.
[cheers and applause]
[exciting music]
- This surprising singer is on Heidi's Dream Team.
He comes from Mongolia.
But he has a voice which has been stunning
the entire world.
Here's Enkh-Erdene.
- * 'Cause I got friends in low places *
[speaking Mongolian]
[laughs]
- Absolutely stunning.
- Is that real?
Were you lip-synching?
- No.
Last round, everyone thought he was lip-synching
and that it wasn't him, that it wasn't real.
So I thought it would be good to find
a new surprise in a song.
This time, no country music.
Have you thought about changing the style of the song?
- Yeah.
- [laughs] Yes.
- Normally, the song is so much faster.
And just kind of bringing it down,
making it a little slower, I think is perfect for you.
Thank you for pick me. - You got this.
[cheers and applause]
["Always on My Mind"]
* *
* Maybe I didn't treat you *
- Beautiful.
- * Quite as good as I should have *
* *
* Little things I should have said and done *
* I just never took the time *
* *
* You were always on my mind *
[cheers and applause]
* You were always on my mind *
* Tell me *
* *
* Tell me that your sweet love *
* Hasn't died *
* Give me *
* Give me one more chance to keep you *
* Satisfied *
* You were always on my mind *
[cheers and applause]
* You were always *
* On my mind *
- Yes, yes!
[cheers and applause]
- Enkh-Erdene.
[dramatic music]
Heidi.
- You are a class act.
[cheers and applause]
Your voice is just so beautiful, so soothing.
I feel, like Michael Bublé,
I can listen to you 24-7.
[cheers and applause]
- Simon, what did you think?
- I think, personally, I wish the track
had been more exciting.
- What?
- For me, it was very-- [crowd booing]
It was a bit loungy. - No.
- Howie, what do you think?
- I don't disagree with Simon.
I got to say, to be honest with you,
only, you know, one act is gonna go through today
besides the Golden Buzzer.
This sounded like I was on a cruise,
to be honest with you. [crowd booing]
This wasn't worth $250,000.
- What? - It wasn't.
- Mel.
- I think you've got a great voice.
I liked listening to you before
because there was that obvious country.
I think you have to stick to what you know best.
- Why?
- And that wasn't your best, unfortunately.
- No, I disagree.
- Make some noise for Enkh-Erdene.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Three out of four of us weren't bowled over by that.
But it's up to the audience.
- Coming up...
the Vardanyan Brothers are looking to raise the stakes,
while the one and only Kodi Lee
is ready to come through for Simon's Dream Team.
And Anna DeGuzman will try to keep her nerves at bay
as she vies for a spot in the finals.
Stay tuned.
[cheers and applause]
[exciting music]
- Coming up now is a magician in Howie's lineup.
She dazzled everybody
and blazed a trail on "AGT" last summer,
finishing as the runner-up.
Howie and Mel B, go up onstage. You're in this next act.
- Now? - Oh, fun.
- From Bergenfield, New Jersey, here's Anna DeGuzman.
- Don't screw it up.
Seriously, don't.
Don't.
[cheers and applause]
- In my season of "AGT,"
I didn't compete with any other magicians.
This time, there were two other incredible performers.
- Thank you, America.
[cheers and applause]
- I was very nervous.
Howie gave me the best advice.
- Just be you, even when it doesn't work out.
And that's the beauty of performing.
- Right when we're about to start, my mind blanks.
Well--[sighs]
Hoo. Sorry.
I forgot everything I knew for a second.
And then... [fingers snap]
[sighs] OK, ready, sorry.
I'm back.
I kind of brought it back to what Howie taught me,
which was be myself.
Terry. - Yes?
- Can I see your credit card, please?
- I feel like I'm at home.
- I was a bit frazzled.
I was doing a lot of new magic.
There was more than just cards.
Literally, your card is frozen in ice
in front of you all this entire time.
- Stop it.
You are brilliant.
[dramatic music]
- I didn't expect to go through.
- Anna DeGuzman.
[cheers and applause]
- I was trying to come up with magic
that was bigger-scaled, almost doing, like,
bigger stage illusions.
But why would I stray away from what got me here,
which was close-up?
- You've kind of scaled back the size of what you're doing.
- Yeah, the other acts, the other magicians...
- Right. - They all did something
really big, and they're not here anymore.
I think what worked in my favor is that
I do close-up magic with objects
that people are familiar with.
- Now we're focusing just on cards, right?
She has made a decision to take a risk.
She's going back and making it smaller.
But there is a saying that I live by.
And that is no risk, no reward.
- Magic is still a male-dominated industry.
And I think winning would really cement the fact that
I'm reinventing the image of a magician.
[cheers and applause]
[bright music]
- "AGT," now, you know I can control playing cards.
That's easy.
It's even harder to control people
and their perceptions.
Howie, you took a big risk by betting on me
to be part of your Dream Team.
So tonight, I'm actually putting
the finale in your hands.
- Oh, no, you're taking a risk.
- Yeah. - Let's see how you do,
starting by shuffling these cards.
I feel like we've hung out enough
that you should have picked up a thing or two by now.
- Yeah, look, watch this. - OK.
- Look at this.
- Oh, that's not bad.
- OK, that was pretty slick.
Give it up for my beautiful assistant.
- I'm beautiful. - Yeah.
- Great, we're gonna place the cards into the box
so we can't tamper with them.
And we'll get back to them later.
- OK. - Because we're all gonna
play a game together, OK?
But we do need something to gamble with.
I don't think he noticed just yet.
But I actually bumped into Terry earlier...
- Oh! - And borrowed his wallet.
- Borrowed it. [laughter]
I taught you how to do this last time.
Terry, we just needed to borrow some cash.
One, two, three--
you don't carry much cash, do you?
But, Howie, can you wave your hands
and place it over the bills, please?
- Wave my hand? OK. - On top, yeah, over the ones.
- OK. - See, I think everything
you touch turns into gold. - Oh! Oh!
Oh!
- Lift up your hand.
- Ooh! - No.
- Hundreds. - Look at that.
- Now we have more money to play with.
- Wow.
- Mel, you're up close. - Yeah.
- We're gonna play a little game.
But the audience tonight can help you.
- OK. - This is an observation game.
- Right. - OK?
So don't let me distract you.
Focus closely.
Ready?
- Yeah.
Right.
- How many cards were there?
- Oh, I didn't know I had to count them.
- You guys can help her out, OK?
It was a royal flush. [laughter]
- Five. Five.
- You're correct, OK?
What color were the backs?
- Red.
- OK. - Red.
- Good, good, good.
Simon looks so worried for you.
No, no, no, she's doing better than the last one.
So I think you might have missed it because
this was all merely a suggestion.
- They're blue.
- Because they were blue the whole time.
And you might have missed it
because the cards never even existed.
- Wow.
- That was good.
- I want you to have another chance.
You know, they say the best way not to lose your money
is to hold on to it tight.
So here, just take a bill.
Yeah. - All of them?
- And just take one of them.
I'm going to take the hundred.
- Right.
- So fold it in front of you.
OK.
Fold it in half again.
Yes. And fold it down.
Yes, good, good, good.
Hold out your hand flat like a table.
* *
I'm gonna place both bills into your hand.
Squeeze tightly.
Turn it over.
I'm gonna reach in.
We're gonna play another game. - Right.
- Whichever one I don't get, you get to keep.
- Right. - OK?
Don't look just yet.
Ready? Don't look. - Right.
- Which one do you think you got?
- Twenty. [laughter]
- I don't think that was one of the options, but--
- It was a one or a hundred.
- Oh, it was?
- It was a one or a hundred.
[laughter]
- It's OK. It's OK. You're pretty.
- You think you got a twenty. - It's fine.
- I thought I saw a twenty.
- No, no, it's OK. - That's rude.
- I have a one, which means what do you have?
- A hundred. - OK.
But, again, I told you I can control people's perceptions.
So watch closely.
Don't move.
* *
Whoa, now I have the hundred.
* *
Which means...
- I have the one.
- Yeah, take it out. Show everybody.
- Open it. - So you just switched it.
You've just done magic on it.
[cheers and applause]
- Now, every bill is special.
You could have picked any one.
What makes them unique
is the serial number on the bill,
which no one here could know, right?
And, Howie, you actually shuffled these cards.
- Yeah. - Can you take them
out of the box?
Mel, what is the first digit... - Yeah, they're out.
- On your serial number?
- Right, 3.
- Wow. - 3. Wow, she can read.
- [gasps] - She can read.
- Oh, my God.
- Aw.
- I'm sorry, I'm just kidding.
OK, Howie, take the first card and deal it faceup
and show everybody.
- It is a 3. - No way.
- Next, read it. Keep reading it out loud.
- 6.
- 4.
- Another 4. - 4.
Howie, I don't know how you're doing this.
- I'm amazing. - 6.
- 3.
- There's another 3.
- 7. - 7.
- 3. - Another 3.
- There's actually always a letter at the end
of every serial number.
- A. - A?
- Show everybody. - It's an ace.
- Oh, that's good.
[cheers and applause]
- Thank you so much, Howie and Mel.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Anna DeGuzman.
[cheers and applause]
- I always pick the best assistants.
- Yeah.
- Well, actually, I'm not so sure about that.
- I should have picked Heidi, I'm sorry.
I'm just kidding. You're great. - [gasps]
- No, I'm just kidding. - No, Anna, shh.
- Howie, what did you think? - No, no, no.
- Listen, you took a risk tonight.
You took a big risk.
She did a smaller, you know, illusion.
And that was what was amazing.
- Thank you. [cheers and applause]
- Heidi, what did you think?
- I don't know if I loved it this much today.
I have to be honest with you.
It was a lot of talking.
And also some of the talking you said,
I also didn't love so much.
You know, what you said to Mel,
that kind of hurt me a little bit.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- And I really, really like you.
And that did not make me like you so much.
- I thought we were both, like, joking with each other.
- To be fair, I think Anna was kidding around.
However, I don't think you had the best assistant
in the world with you.
And then the reveal just didn't feel like that big reveal.
- No. - Well, Mel,
you were an assistant too.
You saw it up close. What did you think?
- I mean, I really like you.
And what I like about you-- - I love you too.
I hope you know I was joking.
- No, I mean, that went over my head.
- Good, 'cause you know I love you.
- 'Cause I was looking at what you were doing.
And it was really good.
- Yeah. - So I think good for you.
- Yes.
- Thank you.
- Anna's fate now lies with the audience voters.
We will find out if she's going to be in the finals
by the end of the show.
One more time for Anna DeGuzman.
- Thank you. Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- I thought that was mean towards you.
- I wasn't listening to her.
- The pressure just got to me,
and I got really intimidated by all the other
championship acts that went before me.
I hope I get another chance to show them
what I have in the final.
* *
[exciting music]
- Hand balancing is one of the most difficult
and dangerous skills we see on "Got Talent."
But Mel B believes these guys have what it takes
to make the finals.
From Armenia, they are the Vardanyan Brothers.
- We are about to watch The Vardanyan Brothers
in their rehearsals. Now, I know Simon--
I guess Simon didn't understand exactly how dangerous it is.
- I saw you on "Britain's Got Talent."
And I don't think that was a step up.
[audience booing]
- Simon doesn't know danger
when it hits him in the face, does he?
- Now we're gonna add a blindfold.
We have added coming right up to the judge's desk.
And because they're so close now on the stage,
you really get to see how dangerous this is.
When you're up on the stage,
everything just looks so smooth.
The closer you get, when you see this bit,
that up close, it's like, "whoa!"
- We only do this one time before.
- We don't know if we can do this.
- They're kind of a little bit annoyed
at each other right now.
How is everyone?
- Oh, you missed a stressful one.
- They pissed off at themselves?
- Yeah. - You can tell.
The guys had a few moments in their rehearsals
where it was really, really wobbly.
They were kind of not happy with themselves.
But I mean, I keep on saying to them,
this is why we have rehearsals.
So just hold on to the fact that
when it comes to show time, you're gonna nail it.
- We're nervous because my brother's life is in my hands.
- This is very dangerous for us.
* *
[cheers and applause]
[tense music]
* *
- Whoa.
- Oh, my God, look.
Look how wobbly that thing is!
- Look how high they are.
* *
Whoa.
* *
Whoa!
* *
- Are you kidding me?
Oh, my god!
* *
- Whoa! Whoa! - [shouting]
That thing is so wobbly!
Oh, my god.
What are you doing?
He's bending? Why?
[audience gasps]
- Oh!
* *
[cheers and applause]
- Oh, my goodness.
Yes! Oh, this is great!
[cheers and applause]
- Yes!
- He's willing to put his life on the line.
- I mean, that's like not for me. I'ma do jokes.
- Now you'll see how scary this is.
You'll see how terrifying this is.
- What are they doing? What are they doing?
[tense music]
* *
[audience gasping]
* *
- It's my act too and I can't watch even it.
[audience gasps]
[dramatic music]
* *
[blades tapping]
- Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.
Seriously? - It's OK.
- Oh, my god.
- I love it. - We know how hard that is.
[cheers and applause]
- One more attempt. - One more?
[cheers and applause]
- Do you want to have a little sip?
- No, seriously.
- I know, you're thirsty. I can tell.
- It's water.
[cheers and applause]
- Are they gonna try again? - I don't think they should.
- Oh, they're gonna try it again.
At that point, when you're that tired,
they should not do it.
- They're gonna try again.
- It's really hot in here too.
- It's so dangerous. Move away.
- Oh, my God.
[dramatic music]
[audience gasps]
* *
[blades tapping]
[audience gasps]
- Oh!
* *
- Oh, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [scream echoing]
[tense music]
* *
[blades tapping]
- Oh, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Yes!
* *
No, no, no.
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
[wild cheering]
- These mothers are crazy, man.
Imagine if one of 'em bites you.
- [laughs] - That's crazy, right?
- The Vardanyan Brothers!
[cheers and applause]
Oh! - That was amazing.
- Mel B, when you wheel your chair back into the--
- This was so nerve wracking. Oh, my gosh!
- I feel sick. I feel physically sick.
But you did it!
- Thank you very much.
Thank you for water. It helped me.
[laughter] - The water helped.
- I know.
- You know what? Sometimes when it doesn't go perfectly,
you say this all the time, sometimes with singers--
- You see how hard it is. - Then you see how tough it is.
And you see, you know, and you didn't give up.
And then you tried again.
- I wish I had my Golden Buzzer right now.
I really wish I did.
- If at first you don't succeed,
try, try again.
- Now, Simon, you were up close.
You saw this. What were you thinking?
- I think you are completely and utterly nuts.
And that's a compliment.
But look, hats off to you because you carried on.
You've given yourselves a shot after that.
- Thank you very much.
- The audience voters will decide tonight
if these guys will be in the finals.
Right now, make some noise for The Vardanyan Brothers.
[cheers and applause]
- No, that was good, very good.
- Everything was amazing.
- Brilliant.
- I should have pressed the Golden Buzzer.
Did I make a mistake? - Yeah, you did.
- OK, here we go guys, clearing the stage.
- Can you imagine following that act?
- Let's keep it going.
Here's another of Mel B's Dream Team.
They finished top six on "Britain's Got Talent."
Can they make the "Fantasy League" finals?
Here's Ghetto Kids.
- Standing on that stage waiting for the results,
we are very, very scared
because the other acts were so good.
But guess what?
- Ghetto Kids!
- * Can you see? *
* We've come so far *
- We are so happy, we couldn't believe it.
Most people think of where we come from
as a place without hope.
Now we are showing those people,
if you keep dreaming and you keep believing in yourself,
everything is possible.
- You make everybody smile,
everybody feel good inside. That's important.
Oh, thank you! Oh, can I have more cuddles?
This time round, only three go through.
They have to be even better than before.
I want them to go back to their roots.
- Mel B said "you have to be you"
so we are performing to our own song.
It is made by us. We all sing on it.
We know that we are taking a risk.
But we hope it will make the people go crazy.
- That's so good! [laughter]
Because you have the same energy
and the music's better this time.
- * And I won't give up the fight *
- My sisters, my brothers, I wish you good luck.
- I believe you are going to win.
- This is our first time in America.
And we want to bring hope to our friends back in Uganda.
all: We love you, Ghetto Kids.
[cheers and applause]
- * So open up your eyes *
- When I think about how far we have come
from the finals on "Britain's Got Talent,"
it is amazing.
We believe now even more that we can win this.
- * Live right now *
* Right now *
* Believe right now *
[cheers and applause]
- Yes.
[rhythmic music]
- Ghetto Kids! - Uganda, Africa.
[singing in native language]
* *
- Ah! [laughter]
- * We are doing it, Africa *
[singing in native language]
* You can bring your break dance *
[singing in native language]
* We combine the two together *
* Let us lead the floor and build the unity *
- * Keep your happy hands up, clap your hands *
- Whoo!
* *
[singing in native language]
* *
One, two, three! [camera clicks]
[cheers and applause]
- That was amazing! Yes! So good!
- Oh, they're so good!
- Ghetto Kids!
- Heidi, that was their song.
- What do you mean this is your song?
You made this song? - Yes.
- That is a very good fun fact to know.
- That's what I said. - Amazing.
- Howie.
- I've got to say that you are incredibly talented,
you are incredibly joyful.
But the guy with the headband, you are a--
you're a superstar!
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
- Heidi. - I love the vibe
that you bring to the stage so much.
All the... [grunting rhythmically]
Oh, the faces of every single one of you.
Mwah. Love.
- Simon. - Mwah, love!
- It's a lot of pressure, you know,
when you're in this stage of the competition.
And then to perform to your own song as well--
And I don't know what it was,
there was a little magic potion in there,
because for me-- - Yes, it was.
- This was just everything this show should be.
[cheers and applause]
- Give it up for Ghetto Kids!
[cheers and applause]
Incredible.
That's your music.
- Dang, I'm anxious. The audience loves them.
[exciting music]
- Here's an "AGT" champion
and one of the biggest stars ever to emerge
on any "Got Talent" anywhere.
From Irvine, California,
he is Kodi Lee.
- * You gotta change *
* Where's your sense of dignity? *
- For you to come back
and write and perform a song which sounds current
shows what a great artist and person you are.
- Oh, my gosh, it was so amazing!
- When Kodi was growing up,
I worried if he was gonna be able to connect with people.
- Oh, my gosh.
- For him to sing his own music,
I mean, it's like the next level for him.
Do you love your songs that you wrote?
- Heck yeah. I can show people how I feel inside.
- Hearing Kodi's words really connecting with the audience,
it was like validating.
Because with his disability, we've been struggling
finding people that are not afraid to work with him.
- So how are you feeling? - I feel so good.
- But Simon treats Kodi like anyone else
and that is so refreshing,
- I think this is maybe a turning point in your career
because record labels are looking for people
who can write and produce their own songs.
- Oh, my goodness.
Tonight, I'm singing a song I wrote and it's called
"Journey of You and I."
- This song is about you, isn't it?
- It's about me, yep. - Aw.
- I wrote a song for my mom because
she always helps me chase my dreams.
- I'm just a mom.
I mean, that's what moms are supposed to do, right?
[laughs]
- You've got the best mum, you know that?
- Uh-huh. - And you just be you.
Because you're the best.
- I am extremely grateful for "AGT" because
they have shown another whole side of Kodi
that I didn't even know existed.
- We're gonna run a sound check for you, all right?
- Oh, yeah.
- I didn't know he would be able to have a future.
And then now, it feels like
we're just climbing this huge cliff
that he's going to get to the top of.
This is all he's ever dreamed of.
- I'm gonna give it everything.
[cheers and applause]
I wrote this song for my hero.
Mom, this song is for you.
- Aww! - Oh! For the mom.
- Yeah, Kodi! - Whoo!
[emotional piano melody]
- * I'm lost with nowhere to hide *
* But you opened up my eyes *
* Turned darkness into light *
* I fall but you catch me every time *
* You lead me to new heights *
* This love will never die *
* Lift me up to overcome all the doubt with your love *
* Always right by my side *
* Push me to keep on dreaming * - Oh!
- * Thank you for just believing *
* Stronger with you in my life *
- Oh.
- * Use your love as my guide *
* This song is for you *
* The journey of you and I *
* *
* You and I *
* Ooh *
So thank you for never giving up on me.
For the selfless devotion.
- Oh, that's nice.
- You are my hero. You are my everything.
* Stronger with you in my life *
* Your true love is my guide *
* This song is for you *
* The journey of you and I *
* I'm lost with nowhere to hide *
* But you open up my eyes *
* You are my guiding light *
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
That was beautiful. - Kodi! Kodi! Kodi!
[triumphant music]
- Kodi Lee!
- God!
[audience chanting "Kodi"]
- Simon.
- Oh, Kodi. Gosh!
I got all emotional now. - [laughs]
- You wrote that song for your mum, obviously.
And, Tina, you are like a little lioness, aren't you?
You really are. - Thanks.
- You've always been there by his side.
And this is the second time, obviously, in a row
Kodi's now singing his own material,
which is a huge step up
and I am so proud of you.
- Thank you so much. [laughs]
- Heidi.
- I mean, what a beautiful love letter to your mother.
Your appreciation, I mean, it doesn't get more heartfelt
than what you've just done.
It was beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
- Thank you so much.
- Howie.
- What a gift to "AGT."
What a gift to "Talent."
Kodi Lee, you are the biggest gift
I have ever experienced on this stage.
You know, I believe that everybody on my Dream Team
has what it takes to make it to the end.
But...
I can always use more.
[dramatic music]
* *
- What?
- Let me move over.
- Kodi... - Oh, my gosh.
* *
- [exhales]
- You're on Dream Team Howie!
[triumphant music]
* *
- Oh, dear.
* *
- [laughing]
- That was amazing.
That was amazing. That was amazing!
* *
- Howie, we love you, but-- - My team!
- We don't want to leave Simon. - What?
- We don't want to leave Simon.
- You don't want to leave Simon?
Did you just say you don't want to--
doesn't matter! It's not up to you!
[laughter]
- Kodi Lee, you just received a Golden Buzzer
from Howie Mandel.
- But stay with me?
- You have been taken from Simon Cowell's Dream Team
over to Howie's Dream Team, reluctantly.
[laughs]
[cheers and applause]
Right now, make a whole lot of noise
for Golden Buzzer Kodi Lee
who's going right to the finals!
- [laughing]
- One spot out of eight. - One spot.
- Come with me, team. - [laughs]
- They're going with Howie.
- They don't want you. [laughter]
- That's the second Golden Buzzer tonight already.
- Man.
- Whose team are you on?
- Howie's. - Howie's!
- Coming up, with both Golden Buzzers gone,
Preacher Lawson and The Pack Drumline
need to bring it if they want that last spot in the final
and a chance at the $250,000 grand prize.
[exciting music]
- This unique comedian is in Howie's squad.
He blasted his way onto "AGT" in 2017.
From Memphis, Tennessee, brace yourselves,
here's Preacher Lawson.
[cheers and applause]
- Man, to be nominated by America,
you know, to come back to "Fantasy League,"
that feels really good.
'Cause I don't think any other comedians are here, right?
Hey! The only one, baby. Ha-ha!
Every time I've been on "America's Got Talent,"
I've been losing,
and this time, I'm here to take over, OK?
- Can I just say before we even start?
Your set that you had in the first round
is the best set I've ever seen
in my history on "AGT" of any comedian ever.
- That is what I would call a winning performance.
- Oh!
- This set, do you feel it's as relatable?
- I think it's gonna be even more relatable.
I'm gonna talk about family. - I love that.
- Yeah. - I love that.
- His dad left the day before I had him.
There was a time when Preacher and I
and my other kids were sleeping in a car.
I wanted to give up but I couldn't
because I was a mom
and I knew that I had to show my kids
that even when it gets hard or whatever, you keep going.
And I feel like Preacher took that work ethic
and he ran with it.
He worked through those really hard times,
the times where he was homeless,
the times where he didn't know
how he was gonna get through the next day.
And he continued and look where he is now.
Go, Preacher! - Mama's in the house.
- What up, Mama?
[cheers and applause]
- I'm his biggest fan.
I don't care what them other young girls say...
[laughs]
Them ones throwing their numbers.
No, Mom is his biggest fan.
- You know like him. - I feel the heat coming.
- I love your son.
- I love him too!
- Nobody's done better than you ever in comedy.
But now you're dealing with the best of the best
from all over the world, guaranteed.
That's a lot of pressure.
- Nah, man, I don't know, I don't know.
I'm one performance away from getting to the finale.
- Hey, my man, my man, go kill it, go kill it.
- But you know what? Pressure make diamonds.
- Just come on out, yep. [cheers and applause]
- I was funny last time. I'm gonna be funny again.
But I want to give you insight of who I am.
- I'm dying for a belly laugh. He really makes me laugh.
- I want to win this whole thing.
I've been working my whole life for this opportunity right now.
[Sister Sledge's "We Are Family]
- * We are family *
* I got all my sisters with me *
* *
* We are family *
[laughter]
* Get up everybody and sing *
- All right, cut that. Cut it!
Cut it! [music stops]
Hey, ow! That's right, man. All right.
Uh, I'm single and--
- [laughs] - Mel!
- I'm not super picky. I got a couple rules as far as age.
I'm not dating under 26
'cause I need you to be damaged a little bit.
And the highest I'm going is if I ask a woman her age
and she's like, "you don't ask a woman--"
I'm like, that's too old for me.
And my second rule is
my booty can't be bigger than yours,
which is probably why I'm single
because I don't know if y'all noticed,
I got that thang on me!
That's right. I got that donk!
Yeah, I knew I had a big booty when I was like seven.
I sat down. I was still the same height.
I said, "aw, snap."
- [laughing]
- Yeah, I got this from my mama.
That's not true.
My mom is the fastest person down the slip and slide.
But I love my mom, she's great.
- Wait a minute. - She's great.
She's probably my favorite mom.
If you don't got a mom, you got to get you one.
They're like dope, you know.
The trick is you got to get one that likes you.
'Cause I got a dad. I don't think he like me.
[laughs] - Oh!
- Yeah, because anytime I'm born, he just dips, you know?
But my mom, she was there when I was born.
And she was there
when all my siblings-- I got three siblings.
And I'm the youngest. That's why I'm happy.
Definitely can't be the oldest, you know?
"I did everything on my own! Nobody helped me!"
That's the oldest.
And the middle child's like, "Hey, I'm alive,
just in case, if you need me."
And then the youngest is like, "Hey!
"Why is everybody so uptight?
"Come on. Come on!
"Yeah, by the way, I messed up again.
But it's OK, Mom forgives me."
That's the-- that's the youngest.
But I need to hurry up and have kids before my eggs expire,
especially because
my mom, I feel like she treats me like a kid, you know?
I love my mom but she threw me a surprise
SpongeBob SquarePants themed 29th birthday party.
Nope, it's too late. Too late.
I don't want my mom throwing me a surprise birthday party.
I almost rather my dad throw me a surprise birthday party,
because that'd at least be a surprise.
If he just showed up,
* Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? *
You, apparently. Where you been?
My name is Preacher Lawson. Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
[cheers and applause]
- This man is one of the best comedians
that's ever been in this. - Yeah, true.
- Preacher Lawson!
[cheers and applause]
Howie.
- I'm just really upset. - Why?
- Because I already used my Golden Buzzer.
- [laughs]
- To be honest with you, I'm just proud. I'm just proud.
- Oh, me too! - No other act is harder to do
than somebody just baring their soul,
just baring their sense of humor.
No music, no fire, no nothing. It's just you.
And your mom's in the room.
- Yeah! [cheers and applause]
Is that my mom?
- So proud of you!
- I love you. - Love you.
- Heidi.
- I think you are the funniest comedian we've ever had.
- Wow. - I really do.
And I have always had a very hard time with comedians.
But with you, I always laugh.
And I love the jeggings.
- [laughs]
- Mel B.
- Oh, you know I adore you, don't you?
- I love you too. - [laughing] You know I do.
I mean, I was just saying before you came out
"I cannot wait to belly laugh"
and you didn't disappoint.
You had me smiling and laughing, like, hysterically.
- Thank you.
- Simon. - Ah, Preacher.
You are just brilliant at what you do.
I've never heard you repeat an act.
- No, yeah.
- It really shows, for me,
that you've actually gone out on the road to build up a base.
And that is hard work.
And I've always thought something more
is gonna come your way.
And maybe this is it, Preacher, maybe this is your time.
Because you are so brilliant at what you do.
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- Preacher, the finals, will it happen?
We'll find out later.
One more time for Preacher Lawson!
[cheers and applause]
- I really like this guy. He's really funny.
[exciting music]
- We are almost set for this next act.
We first saw them on "AGT" in 2022.
It was originally formed
as an at-risk after school program in Chicago.
Now, they're here on Simon's Dream Team.
Did he raise their game and get them to the finals tonight?
Here's The Pack Drumline.
[energetic drumming]
- When we found out that Simon had drafted us
for his Dream Team, it meant the world to us.
- Wow, that was an entrance. [laughter]
- This is a man that is respected.
We trust every opinion that he makes.
- You've always been, like, brilliant musicians,
but something has changed within you.
- Yeah, it has. - Tell me.
- You know, the first time we were on the show,
we were just humbled to be here.
Coming on here to "Fantasy League,"
we told ourselves we coming to battle.
We really want to win this year.
[inspiring music]
Watching the audience stand up and lose their minds,
we look at each other, we're like,
this is what the sacrifice was all about.
- You just killed it!
- I have a feeling that you are gonna surprise everyone
and win this whole show.
[all chanting "Simon"]
- That was big for us.
We've always been underdogs.
It's something that we're used to.
- Pack Drumline! - Yes!
I think what's really, really important with this performance
is to show the audience what this means to you.
- Yes, this time it's personal.
This is our revenge tour. It's the underdogs coming back
and we got something to prove. We really do.
So when we first started as a group,
we couldn't afford any type of percussion instruments.
So we started off with these trash can and buckets
because they were so easy to get.
Y'all, listen, for this performance,
we got to be bigger and badder than ever.
So we gon' take this back to our roots,
back to where we started from.
- I think it's gonna get really loud.
- We have to pay homage to where we came from.
- OK, here we go.
- You're lucky my Golden Buzzer's gone.
Let me tell you that now.
- We're not doing this just for ourselves.
We're doing it for our family, our friends,
our loved ones, but most important,
for our mentor and our friend now, Simon.
[cheers and applause]

- Oh, my god. - That's so cool.
- Whoa!
- Yes!
- [indistinct rapping]
[cheers and applause]
- Wow!
- So good.
[triumphant music]

- The Pack Drumline!
- Simon, you're on your feet, man.
- On my feet.
I could jump on this desk with excitement.
You know, ever since we worked together,
this group have so much talent,
so much ambition...
[cheers and applause]
And seriously, the crazy thing is, you know,
you told me you feel like the underdogs in this competition.
You know what? I have a feeling an underdog
could win this year.
[cheers and applause]
- Mel B.
- Right, so I'm just gonna say a few things.
I did see a few things that timing-wise
were a little bit off. - No!
- And one of you lost a stick. - What?
- I'm just saying, I see everything.
- Boo! - But having said that,
I'm actually really pissed at myself
that I don't have the Golden Buzzer
because I would have given you it
because your energy and your enthusiasm is off the charts.
- Thank you. - It really is.
- Thank you.
- Heidi. - Yes, the energy that
you were giving today was extra.
This was your best performance yet.
Loved it. - Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Howie. - Out of all the acts
that we have seen on this show,
you seem to be the most in it to win it.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- You have the most energy, the most heart.
That was amazing.
[cheers and applause]
- Hey, listen.
We came from nothing.
We created this from the heart
and I love these people so much.
Thank y'all for these moments. Thank y'all so much.
- Next up, the finals maybe.
We'll find out tonight.
Let's hear it for The Pack Drumline!
[cheers and applause]
Yes!
- But they can only pick one.
How do you pick one?
- I'll tell you what. I think it's gonna be between
the danger act and the drummers.
- And Kristy?
- Yes, the pole dancer was really good.
- I think, again, tonight,
there's gonna be some surprises.
- OK, we've seen all of the acts.
Mel B used a Golden Buzzer
to take Aidan Bryant from Heidi's Dream Team.
And Howie used it to take Kodi Lee from Simon's.
Both those acts have gone straight into the finals.
Now, there is just one spot left.
We're going to start by finding out
who made the top three.
The votes are in.
[dramatic music]
- We've come so far to be on this stage.
And only having one spot left, it's so much pressure.
- You just tore the roof off this place!
- A comedian has never won "America's Got Talent."
I got that thang on me!
I want it bad.
I'm really hoping that the audience will vote for me.
- I literally could not have worked harder for it.
This means everything.
* *
- That was a masterclass.
- You did it!
- I'm up against the best in the world
but I'm here to win.
- Here we go.
The first act in the top three is...
[audience roaring]
- It could be anybody. There's too many.
- I mean, we've been surprised before.
[tense music]
* *
- The Vardanyan Brothers!
- Yes!
Yes! Yes!
- The next act in the top three is...
[audience roaring]
- Come on, Team Howie, Team Howie.
- The Kids.
* *
- Pack Drumline!
[cheers and applause] - Told ya.
There's one spot left.
The third act in the top three is...
[audience roaring]
* *
- Oh, come on. Come on.
- This is crazy. I can't.
- That's too long to wait.
* *
- Say it.
- Loren Allred!
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
- Let's hear it for the other semi-finalists.
You've all been awesome. - Oh.
- Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
Give it up for your top three.
[cheers and applause]
So we have three acts.
But only one will be going into the finals.
Let's find out who finished in third place.
The votes are in.
The act finishing in third place
and leaving the competition is...
[tense music]

The Vardanyan Brothers.
- Oh, what?
- I did not expect that.
- Vardanyan Brothers, you have been awesome.
One more time for the Vardanyan Brothers.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow, wow, wow. That puts me in a really difficult position.
- Yeah.
- So the top two are The Pack Drumline...
[cheers and applause]
And Loren Allred.
The votes are in.
The act going into the finals is...
[cheers and applause]
- It might be Pact Drumline.
[audience roaring]
- Pack Drumline!
[cheers and applause]
- I'm happy about it. - If it wasn't mine,
I'm glad it was them. - I am too.
- Thank you, Loren. You did amazing!
Pack Drumline,
you made the finals
along with tonight's
two Golden Buzzers,
Aidan Bryant and Kodi Lee.
Next week, ten more acts and their judges
will be fighting for the last three spots in the finals.
I am Terry Crews.
Good night, America.
[cheers and applause]
