- I don't know what happened, Terry.

Seriously. - It was horrible.

- I mean, whoever chose that is in big trouble, honestly.

- Yeah, sure. It was you.

- But thank God, we got the most amazing audience.

They win anyway.

Let's get the show started! I love you guys.

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- Oh.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Welcome.

Tell us who you are, why you're here.

- We are GRV, a dance team out of Anaheim, California.

[cheers and applause]

- Do you have, like, day jobs? - Yeah.

We're a team full of nurses, engineers, everything.

You can name it.

But at the end of the day, what we really want to do is dance.

[cheers and applause]

- What is the-- what's the big dream?

Is it, like, Vegas, or is it touring with other artists?

Tell me.

- I think we want dance to just kind of hold itself

and be able to be a main act, not dancing behind an artist.

- Yeah.

- But--

Do more of this with each other and for each other

for as long as we can.

- In fact, I actually put in my two weeks' notice

very recently

because I want to dive into this dance life 100%.

- Really?

- Okay, we are all rooting for you,

so do what you do, please. - Thank you.

- What was Howie thinking?

- Howie Mandel--

- Well, apparently, I saw-- - What was that?

- That was a red buzzer because you're really good dancers.

And it's a really well-oiled troupe,

but this is Season 20. [crowd booing]

This needs to be bigger, better, more exciting

than we've ever had on this stage.

- * So much left to do *

- Okay, Mel.

- Well, I think he's out of his mind, for a start.

- * All I need is just more time, more... *

- There was so much originality in that.

- No, there wasn't. - Are you kidding me?

There really was.

- Sofía.

- You guys have so much potential.

You know what you're doing. You look beautiful.

The choreography was beautiful.

I think it was spectacular.

[cheers and applause]

- I'm going to say yes. - Yes!

* *

- No-brainer. Yes, yes, yes.

- * Oh, I just need, I'm just needing... *

- It's a no.

You got two yeses and one no.

You need one more yes.

* *

- I saw and felt the energy

and the dedication that went into this.

[cheers and applause]

This is what the show has been all about--

regular people with regular jobs...

- Yes.

- Coming out in front of America.

I think you have to respect the fact, on an audition,

it doesn't always go your way.

And hopefully, you come away with--

even if it's a no...

that you've learned something.

However...

you won't be going away with a no.

You'll be going away with three yeses.

- * More time, more life, more healing *

* More love, more us *

* More feeling, yeah *

* Oh, I just need, I'm just needing *

- Thank you guys. Thank you.

- * More dreaming *

- Come on in, GRV. Come on in.

Come next to me.

Listen, man, Howie is a comedian.

Let's put it in perspective.

Make this drive you all the way to the top.

GRV, y'all!

Come on in here. Come on in.

Come on.

- * Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da *

[cheers and applause]

- I was actually on the very first season

of "America's Got Talent."

- What? - Oh!

- Our biggest social-media video

has about 250 million views.

- "250 million"? - [laughs]

- I nominated my daughter to audition here today.

- Oh, my God. So you had no idea?

- No.

- There's one thing we never talked about, and that is sex.

- Every great comedian needs a happy ending.

- Oh!

- You are one of the best in the world.

- I think that you deserve this.

[cheers and applause]

- Simon. - Yeah.

- How is the season going so far?

- It's great. It feels like, seriously, yesterday

when we did the first year,

and now we're still here 20 years later.

Thank God.

I'm as excited as I was when we first did this.

I hope everyone does well. Lots of luck.

- We're going to get started now

and bring down the first act. [buzzer sounds]

We have thrown the doors open to absolutely anybody

doing absolutely anything.

[cheers and applause]

The only question is--

- Legendary jacks. - [vocalizing]

- Are they worth $1 million?

- * Oh *

all: America, we've got talent!

[cheering]

- Okay, guys, this is it.

- Can everyone hear me? Yes. Okay, perfect.

All right, guys, so we're going to call some numbers

for your actual audition.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Definitely, definitely.

Hi, you're going to go next, right?

- Hi, I'm next.

- It's time.

Go ahead. I'm going to follow you.

You go right on out. - Right on out to the X.

- Go all the way to the stage. There they are.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello. - Hello.

- So tell us who you are, please.

- My name is Jessica Sanchez.

I'm 29 years old, and I sing.

And I was actually on the very first season

of "America's Got Talent."

- What? - Really?

- What?

- That's amazing.

- 20 years.

Oh, my gosh.

- I've been singing since I was a little girl.

It's fun, and it's really my hobby.

But me trying out for "America's Got Talent,"

that was a whole different world.

- I'm going to put the microphone on you first.

- Just the excitement and the thrill of it all.

I came here to sing

and to try to win this competition.

- Jessica Sanchez!

- I did want this so bad.

[vocalizing]

I made it to the semifinals.

- Thank you, Jessica, very, very much.

I'm sorry to say the journey ends now.

- I did get eliminated.

It was devastating, but it really did, like, help me

realize, like, I want to sing. - I'm so proud of you.

- "AGT" was the beginning of that fire

sparked inside of me.

- So tell me what happened after that.

- Throughout the years,

I kind of fell out of love of music

because I was really young

and I was so swayed by what everybody wanted me to be,

who they wanted me to be. - Yep. Yep.

- And so, you know, it took me--

maybe it took me 20 years, but I know exactly who I am.

I know exactly what I want. - Good. Good.

- I'm excited to be back. [laughs] Yeah.

- Well, that's what it's all about.

Every artist, I believe, should know the lane to go down.

You found your lane now. - Yes, I found my lane.

And I am married now, and I'm actually--

Another surprising thing is,

I recently found out that I'm pregnant, so...

- What? [cheers and applause]

- Wow! - Oh, my God, congratulations.

- Thank you. - This is amazing.

Is it your first one? - It is.

- Okay, let me tell you, this is the best thing

that can ever happen in your life,

ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

I'm very happy for you. - Thank you. Thank you.

- Okay, Jessica, 20th anniversary--

I hope you do well.

- We're excited for you.

- Seriously, good luck. - Good luck.

Bravo.

- Oh, she's got a band.

[cheers and applause]

- Come on, Jessica.

[scattered cheers]

[Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things " playing]

* *

- * For a while there, it was rough *

* But, lately, I've been doin' better *

* Than the last four cold Decembers *

* I recall *

* And I see my family every month *

* I found a boy my parents love *

* He'll come and stay the night *

* And I think I might have it all *

* And I thank God every day *

* And that's a feeling I want to get used to *

* But there's no girl as terrified *

* As a girl who stands to lose you *

* Please stay *

* I want you, I need you *

* Oh, God, don't take *

* These beautiful things that I've got *

* Please stay *

* I want you, I need you *

* Oh, God, don't take *

* These beautiful things that I've got *

[vocalizing]

* *

* Oh, I know I've got enough *

* I've got peace, and I've got love *

* But I'm up at night *

* Thinkin' I just might lose it all *

* Oh *

* Please stay *

* I want you, I need you *

* Oh, God, don't take *

* These beautiful things that I've got *

[vocalizing]

* *

* Please stay *

* I want you, I need you *

* Oh, God, I need *

* These beautiful things that I've got *

[cheers and applause]

- Oh!

[serious music]

* *

- Wow.

Okay, I was saying earlier, the only people that matter

are the people behind us.

I think they like you.

[cheers and applause]

- * You've spent a lifetime stuck in silence

* Afraid you'll say something wrong *

- Yeah, I got to say, wow,

20 years is a long time but well worth the wait.

I'll tell you something-- I love that song.

And you made this song your own,

and you blew the roof off the place.

You are so wonderful.

[cheers and applause]

- Jessica, I'm speechless.

You've got a voice of a bloody angel.

Beautiful. - Thank you so much.

- Oh.

I'm lost for words, lost for words.

* *

- I don't know.

I think something very special happened on the stage with you.

It's so amazing that we're on the 20th anniversary,

the 20th season of "AGT."

You're here again after 20 years.

You're pregnant. I mean... [laughs]

- It's crazy. It's crazy. - You're so beautiful.

You're so ready to do all this.

I mean, I really don't understand what happened

in these 20 years, but I guess they were meant to be,

because this was a special moment,

and I think that you deserve this.

- Oh, my God.

- * I wanna sing *

* I wanna shout *

* I wanna scream till the words dry out *

- Bravo!

- * I'm not afraid *

- That was good.

- * They can read all about it *

* Read all about it *

[vocalizing]

* *

- Oh, you deserve it.

It's the baby.

[cheers and applause]

- [vocalizing]

* I wanna sing...*

- Wow!

- * I wanna scream till the worlds dry out *

* So put it in all of the papers *

- It's like--I felt like it was all clicking...

- I know. - When she was over there.

- Me too. I mean, and now-- - She said, "And I'm pregnant.

And I was here 20 years ago."

And we're on the 20th season, and she sang the way she did.

I mean, you deserve it. - Thank you so much.

- Can I interrupt?

You know, to succeed, you've got to have

real determination and talent.

All those years of really wanting something

and just going for it, it was, like, powerful, right?

- Right, beautiful.

- Yeah, I mean, seriously, you're an absolute star.

- Thank you. - Bravo.

- * I wanna shout I wanna scream... *

- You did so freakin' good.

- Yeah. Thank you. - Proud of you, baby.

- * Put it in all of the papers *

* I'm not afraid *

* They can read all about it *

* Read all about it *

[vocalizing]

[cheers and applause]

- That was great. - That was amazing.

- This audience is ready for you, okay?

We want to see you for you.

- Hello.

- What is your name? - My name is Andy Star.

- How long have you been a star?

- I was always a star in my soul.

- Mm-hmm.

- And my dream is to be a superstar.

I've always dreamed about to be a singer and a dancer

in a big stage like this.

I love you, Simon, so... [chuckles]

- Thank you.

- You're my favorite judge, and--

- He's your favorite judge?

I don't know if that's a good thing to say

because we're about to judge you.

- You know, I grew up with--

- No, no, no, no, you said it already.

You said it. - He said all of us.

- Oh, sorry. - Okay, we're ready for you.

We can't wait to see your star.

- Thank you so much. Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- What is happening?

- I don't know what's going on.

- So is this, like, a break, or is it...

- Um...

[Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" plays]

* *

- What was that? - Oh.

- Oh, wow. - Is that Andy?

- Is that Andy Star? - That's Andy.

- Oh, my God.

- * I need a hero *

* I'm holding out for a hero *

* Till the end of the night *

* He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast *

[buzzer sounds]

[singing gibberish]

- * I need a hero *

[booing]

- Mel B, Howie.

[buzzer sounds]

- * I need a hero *

[buzzer sounds, cheers and applause]

- I'm trying to be constructive today.

That was Shrek, right?

- It's not Shrek. - It's not Shrek?

- It's not Shrek. It's Fairy.

- Oh, I thought it was Shrek. - No, it's not Shrek.

- I'm afraid I'm going to say no.

- * When you need it... *

- Shrek? - Well, he was green.

- I'm just gonna hold it. Maybe I should just hold it.

- All right, brother.

[cheers and applause]

- Welcome to "AGT."

- My name is Jonathan Arons. I'm from New York City--

full-time trombonist for 25 years.

I've been mostly a sideman for the 25 years,

and I thought maybe "AGT" could make me a front man.

- Good luck tonight.

[Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" plays]

- Ah. Ah, "Shakira, Shakira."

- * No fighting, Shakira, Shakira *

* Never really knew that she could dance like this *

* She makes a man want to speak Spanish *

* ¿Cómo se llama? * - * Sí *

- * Bonita * - * Sí *

* Mi casa, su casa, Shakira, Shakira *

- * I'm on tonight *

[buzzer sounds]

- Oh. - Oh.

- * Attraction, the tension *

* Baby, this is perfection *

- * I walk to the sound of my own drum *

- I thought it was like a dare,

where someone had dared you to do something.

- No. - This is my life.

- He can't dance like that just for a joke.

Those hips were everywhere.

- Thank you, guys. Love you.

- I want to see something spectacular.

- I agree. I agree.

- Hi, Terry. I'm Kerry.

- Oh, hey! How you doing?

- Terry and Kerry!

- Okay.

- You're kidding.

Oh, my God, Kerry, go out there and do it.

[laughs] - Here we go.

[cheers and applause]

- I love you so much.

- Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,

did you know she was on?

- Oh, my God.

- Hello.

- Oh, my God!

- Welcome.

- Hi.

- And who are you?

- I'm nervous. - Aw.

- We all are.

- I'm actually here surprising my daughter.

- Aw. - Aw.

- And she's probably freaking out right now.

- Where is she?

- Oh, she didn't know you were going to be onstage?

- No. all: Aw.

- I am her-- - Are you serious?

- Yes, she thinks we're here

for a VIP experience in the audience.

But I nominated Anna to audition here today.

- [cries]

[cheers and applause]

- I don't think she looks very happy.

- She's going to audition? - I would love it if she could.

- Come on, Anna.

- [laughs]

- Anna.

[cheers and applause]

- Are you mad at me?

- Oh, she's happy, though. - Bravo!

- She's happy. - Oh, my God.

So you had no idea?

- No.

- Hang on a second.

But first of all, can I have your names, please?

- Anna.

- You're Anna, and your mom's name is?

- Kerry.

- Right, tell us the story, both of you, please.

- Last year, Anna decided she wanted to make a go at music.

And she asked me to get her some gigs around town.

I said, you know what? I'm just going to submit her.

- And, Anna, you've just found out what your mom's done.

How do you feel right now?

- Confused. - [laughing] Confused.

That's a good word. - I took a picture outside,

because I was like, oh, this is so cool.

This is where they film "America's Got Talent."

[cheers and applause]

- How old are you? - I'm 21 years old.

- And where do you live? - Gaithersburg, Maryland, so...

- Oh, okay. - East Coast.

- Have you prepared anything?

- How do you normally sing?

Do you sing with a track, guitar, a cappella, what?

- I do it all.

- Do you have anything?

Can you just come out and sing right now?

- If this is...

I mean-- I'm just thinking here.

[indistinct chatter]

- All right, to be fair,

I do think you should have a couple of minutes to prepare.

- That would be nice. That would be nice.

- Yeah.

Why don't you just go backstage, throttle your Mom,

and then you can come back on the stage?

How's that? - Okay.

- Yeah. - Thank you. Thank you.

- That's nice, Simon.

- Well, otherwise, no one's going to believe this.

- That was actually crazy.

- Anna, wait, before you do

all the preparations and everything,

what are you feeling right now?

It's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

[laughter]

- Betrayed. - Oh, my God.

- I thought she was, like, my best friend.

- All right, I'm going to let you go.

You guys go on and get ready, okay?

- * Oh, oh, oh, we are unsinkable *

- This is how we do it.

This is how we do it right here--bam.

- Okay, the songs that I chose for you--

- Okay. - "Make You Feel My Love."

- Okay. - Or "My Church."

- Okay.

- This is Daniel. - Hi, Daniel.

- Hi, nice to meet you. - Hi, my name is Christa.

- Nice to meet you. - Hi, Christa.

Good to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah.

- I would like to see her just come out and sing.

- What, you mean a cappella?

- No, because it's hard to sing when you're that emotional.

- Yeah.

- Am I allowed to have any water?

- Yeah, some water? - Yes, please.

- Absolutely.

- What song have you decided to sing?

- Um...

- It's okay. You got this.

[dramatic music]

- Oh, my--oh! - [shouts]

- Wow. - Yeah!

- Sofía's screaming.

My heart was pounding.

I'm actually really glad it's over.

- [screams] - Oh!

[crowd groaning]

[cheers and applause]

[upbeat music]

[singer vocalizing]

* *

- Hello. - Oh, my God.

- What did you think

when she was standing up there, seriously?

- I thought she was going to audition,

to be honest with you.

[laughs]

- Well, good for you for doing it, by the way.

- I mean, it's okay, 'cause, you know, how can I not do it?

- Well, you could just run away, but, no, no.

Take a moment, okay? - It is my dream, so...

- Oh, good for you. - Yeah.

- Sometimes you just need a little nudge in life, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah. All right, good luck.

- Thank you so much. - Okay, lovely to meet you.

- This is so-- Like, this is not normal.

- I can't wait to hear this. - Oh.

[laughs] My gosh, I didn't even realize.

Where did they come from?

- I was talking to the girl whose mom got her up.

So, how did you feel?

She was like, I thought my mom was going to audition.

[laughter] Yeah.

- Here we go. Five, four, three, two, one.

- Are you ready? There we go.

[uplifting music]

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, there.

What are your names?

- [speaking native language]

- [speaking native language]

- And where have you guys traveled from?

- We traveled from Xi'an, China.

- Wow.

And what makes you so different from all the other acts?

- Our ballet is absolutely beautiful.

- Oh, God.

- Well, I'm very excited to see this.

I don't want to ask you any more questions.

Just do you. Good luck.

[cheers and applause] - [speaking native language]

- It's just so boring.

- What?

Look, look. - Yeah.

- Are you looking at his calves?

- Oh.

[scattered cheers]

[Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" plays]

* *

[dramatic music]

- That's not very ballet, is it?

* *

- One pointe on his shoulders?

That's crazy.

[cheers and applause]

- * Higher *

* Your love has set me free *

- Bravo!

- * Higher, higher *

- Howie, what did you think?

- I've never seen anything like that before,

and we've been here for 20 years.

I can't thank you enough for coming all the way from China

to show us something this spectacular,

this beautiful, this strong.

You were amazing.

- Sofía? - [speaking native language]

- I mean, I'm mesmerized.

That was one of the most beautiful things

I've ever seen.

You need to be in the biggest stage in the world.

And he has great legs.

[laughing]

- Calves, great calves.

- Both of you, but his are especially very good.

Um...

- * Higher, oh, higher *

- Simon?

- I find, along with a lot of other people,

ballet unbelievably boring.

- No. - No, seriously.

[crowd booing] - Not like this.

- Ballet is kind of for a very small group of people.

- Oh, it's not. - It is very snobbish.

- Worldwide, ballet is well-respected.

- However...

* *

You made ballet interesting.

I've never seen anything like this.

I don't know what it's called.

What do you call it?

- [speaking native language]

- [speaking native language]

- It's called "ballet on shoulder."

- Ballet on shoulder.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

We learned something.

- Well, it was beautiful.

We're going to vote.

Howie? - Yes.

- Sofía? - Yes.

- Oh! - [speaking native language]

- Yes. - [speaking native language]

- It's a yes from me, too. Four yeses.

- * Higher *

* Your love has set me free, now nothing's out of reach *

- Thank you very much. - Yes!

- * Higher *

- Oh, that was so good. [laughs]

- Okay. - Have fun.

- Thank you. - Come get you in a minute.

- Did you enjoy that?

That was called ballet on shoulder.

- Straight shoulders.

- Now we know what it's called, right?

It took a long time, but we got there.

- Anna. Anna.

Come on over. Come on over. Come on.

Listen, okay, you got your mic. You had your time to prepare.

How do you feel right now? Was that enough time?

- I feel good, yeah. - Ten seconds.

- Okay, it's time. It's time.

Go on around this way. - I love you.

- And you're going to come out here with me

and come out this way.

There we are. - Thank you, sir.

Here we go. - All right.

- Right to the X.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, my God. Yes.

- Ten seconds.

- Here we go.

[upbeat music]

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, it's her.

- [laughing] Hello.

- Hello. - Hi.

- Welcome back.

- Hi, everyone, again.

- Well, you must have had an interesting few minutes.

- Yes.

- What song did you decide to sing?

- I decided to sing "Make You Feel My Love"

because I always dedicate it to my mom,

so I thought it was a full-circle moment.

- Aw.

- Okay.

Good luck.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- She's so nervous. - Yeah.

- [breathes deeply]

* I could offer you a warm embrace *

* To make you feel my love *

* I know you haven't made your mind up yet *

* But I'd never do you wrong *

* I've known it from the moment that we met *

- Anna. Anna.

- * No-- *

- I hate to do this.

I think that song is a bit boring.

[crowd booing]

- Oh, man.

- Somebody doesn't agree with me.

Look, I really want this to work for you.

Do you have a second song?

- Yeah, "My Church."

[cheers and applause]

- I know this is a lot of pressure,

but you got it in you.

Let's hear the other song.

- It's okay. You got this.

- Yeah, it's okay. It's okay.

It's okay, Anna.

- You go, girl.

[cheers and applause]

- You got it, Anna.

[P!nk's "TRUSTFALL"]

* *

You got to be so proud.

- * Picture a place where it all doesn't hurt *

- Well done.

Sofía?

- That was beautiful. Simon always is right.

I know it was, like, nerve-racking to be stopped

in the middle of a song, but usually when he does that,

it's because he knows there's potential.

And you definitely, definitely have potential.

- Thank you.

- Okay, Mel?

- Well, first of all, I want to commend you,

because you were put in a tricky situation, right?

You were in the audience,

thinking you were just having a VIP experience

for "America's Got Talent."

- This is the ultimate VIP experience.

- And then here you are, performing on stage.

I think you've got a great, beautiful voice.

And I think a few more years,

you'd be able to walk on this stage and smash it.

But today I wasn't really feeling it.

I'm sorry.

[crowd booing]

- Howie?

- I see that you're worthy of being on Season 20.

You have a beautiful voice, and this is a great audition.

- * It's like we're out of our minds *

- Okay, we're going to vote.

Howie? - It's definitely a yes.

You deserve another shot. - Thank you.

- Okay. - Yes.

- Mel? [crowd shouting]

- Come on. Come on.

- I'm sorry. I'm going to have to say no.

I'm sorry.

[crowd booing]

- Sofía?

* *

- I'm going to say yes.

I think you deserve another chance.

- I think most people put in your position

would have just ran.

That you were willing to take the challenge,

it showed that you've got guts.

And I really, really like you.

So I'm saying...

yes.

[cheers and applause] - That's it!

That's it!

- Thank you.

- * It's a trust fall, baby *

- To show up in the audience and to see your mother...

I agree.

- Whoo!

- Your mom threw you out there because you're so beautiful.

Anna, thank you for being here. - Yeah, thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- That was a good one.

- What did you guys think?

[cheers and applause]

all: [chanting] Golden Buzzer! Golden Buzzer!

Golden Buzzer!

- Howie...

- Oh!

[cheers and applause]

- [speaking indistinctly over bullhorn]

- Welcome to "America's Got Talent."

[cheers and applause]

- Here we go! Here we go! Here we go, folks!

We are back!

- I want to see something that says 20th anniversary of "AGT."

- What do you guys do? - We are acrobats.

Have you ever seen the movie "The Greatest Showman"?

- Yes, I have. - Something like that.

- All right, here we go, folks.

- * Mi amore, espresso macchiato, macchiato *

- Good evening. What is your name?

- Elastic--it's me. - Oh, Elastic.

- How old are you?

- Oh, uh--oh.

- Oh.

- * Mi amore *

- Yeah, right.

- Oh, oh, momento, momento, momento.

Yeah. - Ah.

- How do you guys prepare for that?

- We have been training, like-- - Almost since we met.

- How long has that been? both: Eight years.

- And what are you going to do?

- Oh, uh... [imitates whoosh]

- Leave?

- Fly?

- Okay, you know what? Go ahead.

Good luck. - Thank you. Okay.

- We are married.

And for me, the most difficult thing

is to throw her up and then catch her

because it's the--

- Responsibility of my life. - Yes. Yes.

- [grunting]

[epic music]

- Give him a chance, guys.

- [continues grunting]

[panting, grunting]

all: Oh!

- I hope he's okay.

- Is that it? - Is that it? Is that it?

- I guess that was it.

- You guys ready for your next act?

- * Espresso macchiato *

- We're ready for you onstage.

I can take you there. All right, you come with me.

- The first time that I met her, she's brave.

She's a little crazy. - [chuckles]

- And I thought that you're really beautiful.

Micaela is the most important person in my life.

- Matthias is a really good person

and also a good lover.

- [laughs]

[laughing] - Ah, it's not good?

- * Mi amore *

- A good husband, should I say? - That's good, yeah.

- Oh, it's like a hard-core...

- Exciting. Exciting. - Beating in my heart.

- Nervous, exciting.

- I trust him with my life,

but if something goes wrong,

maybe it's the last time I do this act.

- [vocalizing]

- Tonight can change our life.

- It will. - I really hope so.

- Go meet the judges. All right.

[cheers and applause]

- * Espresso macchiato *

- Hello, hello.

And who are you, please?

- I'm Micaela.

- I'm Matthias.

We are the duo Circa Maria.

We are married also.

- Aw. - Yeah.

- So when did you meet, and where did you meet?

- I was searching a person to work the discipline.

- Got it. - And she came with attitude.

I said hi. [laughter]

- Well, we like attitude.

So do you think you're the best in the world?

- I don't know, but I want to be.

[cheers and applause]

- Okay, well, look, there's a lot at stake here.

You know that.

If you do well on this, great things can happen,

so good luck.

- Thank you. - Buena suerte!

- Gracias.

[cheers and applause]

- Aw.

- No rope. The rope is gone.

* And the devil's knocking... *

- Ah!

- * Whoa *

* Out of my mind *

* How many times did I tell you *

* I'm no good at being alone? *

* Yeah, it's takin' a toll on me *

* Tryin' my best to keep *

* From tearin' the skin off my bones *

* Don't you know *

[cheers and applause]

* I lose control *

* When you're not next to me *

* *

* I'm fallin' apart right in front of you *

* Can't you see? *

* I lose... *

- Whoa!

- * Control *

- Wow.

- * When you're not next to me *

* Mm-hmm *

* Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby *

* You make a mess of me *

- Bravo!

[cheers and applause]

- That was quite incredible.

[gentle piano music]

* *

- Okay.

Sofía?

- I wish I had a golden thing to give you.

I mean, that was perfection. That was--

I mean, I think that's one of the best aerial acts

I've seen on "AGT" in the time that I've been here.

That was sexy.

And... [laughs]

I mean, I'm still excited.

- I can tell.

Mel?

- I'm actually really glad it's over

because I was holding my breath.

Sofía's screaming. My heart was pounding.

You did a great job--

an absolutely, really, really great job.

- Howie?

[cheers and applause]

- I have to say that having been here a long time

and seeing a lot of aerial acts,

every single one of the moves that you made,

I've seen other aerial acts use

as the most scary, most dangerous move.

Every move was the most scary, dangerous move I've ever seen.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, it was.

- You know, it was probably, of over the years,

the most complicated, difficult aerial act we've seen.

- Amazing.

- * When I'm alone... *

- And if you want to be the best in the world,

I don't know what the comparison is,

other than what we've seen before.

And I would say...

I think you are one of the best in the world.

- Yes. [cheers and applause]

- I do. Howie?

- Vote? - Yep.

- Yes.

- Mel? - No-brainer, yes, yes, yes.

- Un súperyes.

- Un súperfour yeses.

- * Hear you answer *

* When I'm alone *

* Feel your hands move *

* Pulling me close *

* I will always... *

- Thank you. Thank you.

- * Always love... *

- What a great performance.

Who is this? - This is my mom.

- Oh, your mother's here!

Oh, how are you feeling?

- They could win this whole thing.

- [laughs] - Yes.

- [laughs] Are you ready? - Yes.

* *

[laughter]

- Hey, guys, how you doing?

I'm Terry. How are you? - What's going on, Terry?

How are you? - All right.

You guys look great, man. - You as well. Great suit.

- This is awesome.

Are you guys related? - Friends.

- Just friends?

- Known him since I was born. - Wow.

I can't wait to see what you're about to do.

- We're going to show people we're the real deal.

We're ready.

- Go out there and make it happen.

- Let's go. - All right, all right.

I got you, baby. I got you.

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, guys.

- How are you? - How's it going?

- Welcome to "America's Got Talent."

- Happy to be here.

Honestly, I just got super nervous walking out.

- Oh, it's okay.

So you're feeling a bit nervous,

but are you pumped to be here?

- Oh, yeah. - Excited, very excited.

- So what are your names, and where are you from?

- I'm Crash. - And I'm Adams.

- And we're Crash Adams. - Crash Adams.

- We're from Toronto, Canada. - Nice.

- That's where I'm from. - I know.

- Here we go.

- How long have you been together?

- Honestly, I've known this guy since I was born.

- Oh.

- Our parents were best friends, so--

both: They still are. They still are.

- [laughs]

- We obviously want to do this music thing.

- And with social media, like, we try--

we really try to showcase our music, and with all--

- I mean, give me some stats.

- Our biggest social-media video

probably has about 250 million views.

- "250 million"? - [laughs]

- No way.

Wowza.

- Wow.

- Our biggest social-media video

probably has about 250 million views.

- "250 million"? - [laughs]

[cheers and applause]

- Let's go. - Let's go. We've got this.

- For the past seven years,

we've been playing as many shows as we could possibly get.

We've done a lot of empty shows,

like performing to six people at a dive bar...

- Four being our parents. [both laugh]

* *

- I am definitely an introvert.

And when we started Crash Adams,

honestly, I didn't have that much confidence.

I noticed that when I would put on the sunglasses,

I was able to pretty much just be unapologetically me onstage.

- We started to post some videos online

of us performing our music.

- We used to bring a red couch into the middle of the street

to try and get views on social media,

so people would listen to our music.

- We have about 20 million followers across platforms...

but this is bigger than that.

The first step to playing arenas

is to show people that we actually can perform live.

- Stand by, everybody.

- We want to deliver music that connects with America.

And that's why we do this.

There's nothing we'd rather be doing than music.

This is a step towards that dream.

* *

- Well, I cannot wait to see it.

The stage is yours. Good luck.

both: Thank you very much.

[cheers and applause]

["Optimist" playing]

- * Yeah *

* Oh, nah, nah, nah *

* Nah, nah, nah *

* It's sunny here in the Valley *

* But it's pouring rain in your dreams *

* Maybe there's something in the water *

* Making them feel out of reach *

* When you're way down and it's dark out *

* And it feels like no one's there with you *

* You're wrong *

* 'Cause I've been here all along *

* *

* And when the roof caves in and you're stuck in a moment *

* But the world keeps spinning around *

* I'll be with you for all of it *

* I'd rather be an optimist *

* And if you lose your hope *

* I know the feeling *

* When the world keeps countin' you out *

* I'll never let you fall for it *

* I'd rather be an optimist *

* I'd rather be a glass-half-full type of guy *

* I'd rather have the good days stuck on my mind *

* I'll be with you for all of it *

* I'd rather be an optimist *

* And when the roof caves in and you're stuck in a moment *

* But the world keeps spinning around *

* I'll be with you for all of it *

* I'd rather be an optimist *

* And if you lose your hope *

* I know that feeling *

* When the world keeps countin' you out *

* I'll never let you fall for it *

* I'd rather be an optimist *

* *

* I'll be with you for all of it *

* I'd rather be an optimist *

[Maroon 5's "Sugar"]

* *

- * I'm hurtin', baby *

* I'm broken down *

* I need your lovin', lovin', I need it now *

- That was a very catchy song. - It was.

- Howie, what did you think? - You guys are amazing.

That was a hit song. You got great stage presence.

People are going to remember this song.

I bet you it's going to chart tomorrow.

- Thank you very much.

- The song was super catchy.

I mean, I was, like, dancing to it.

Your voice is great.

And I love the relationship that you have.

I feel like you guys need

a little bit more cool outfits, though.

[laughs] - Cool outfits.

- A little more sexy, because you guys are sexy.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- * Make it all right *

- I think the song, for me--

bearing in mind it's the first time we heard it--

I liked it a lot.

I really did.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you.

- And the great thing, like Howie said,

is that if this song really is good,

it's going to react within minutes

of this audition going out, which is brilliant.

[cheers and applause]

I want to be the first person to say yes.

- Two yeses.

- Three yeses!

- I thought you were great. Four yeses.

- * Sugar, yes, please *

* Won't you come and put it down on me, down on me? *

* I'm right here, I'm right here *

* 'Cause I need, I need a little love... *

- They do need better outfits.

* *

- Let's go, baby! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

- * Down on me *

- Sandra, how come you're here at "AGT"?

- I'm 83 years old. - Wow.

- And I am going to be the first comedian to win.

- Oh!

- Oh, my God.

You are naughty, aren't you?

all: [chanting] Golden Buzzer! Golden Buzzer!

- Howie, I dare you. Please.

- Wow, wow, wow.

How are you doing? What are you guys from?

both: Georgia.

- Oh, all my family is from Georgia.

- Oh, really?

- Oh, hello, hello. - Hello.

- Hi, how you doing?

- Oh, it's so great to meet you, finally.

- It is a pleasure to meet you. What is your name?

- I'm Sandra.

- You mind if I sit next to you?

- Oh, come sit.

- Listen, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

- 83. - Oh, my goodness.

- Yeah. - You're 83?

- [laughs] My husband's here.

- Is he here? - Yeah, that's him.

- You want to come over? Oh, he doesn't want--

[laughs] - He doesn't.

- He wants none of it? - No.

He's pretty much my biggest fan.

- How long have you guys been married?

- 35 years. - 35 years.

- Yeah.

While I was working in the corporate world,

there was something in me

that always wanted to perform onstage.

Now I'm retired, I finally have the chance to do it.

I think that everybody should keep doing things

until they no longer absolutely can.

- You're going to go right to the X, to the X.

- Do it now.

You don't know how long you're going to be able to.

Enjoy every moment of your life

because it's never too late.

[cheers and applause]

- * And you think about it, don't you? *

* It's a rich man's game *

- She's so cute!

- Welcome to "AGT."

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Who are you?

- I am Sandra Risser.

- How come you're here at "AGT"?

- I'm 83 years old. I am--

- 83? - 83.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

I'm retired from the corporate world.

I always wanted to be an entertainer.

When I finally retired, I said, go for it now.

You're not too old.

[cheers and applause]

Yes.

- Sandra, do you think you can win "AGT"?

- I am going to be the first comedian to win.

- Oh, you're a comedian! - Whoa!

[cheers and applause] - I love you.

- Sandra, we are ready for you.

Good luck tonight.

- Thank you.

- Yes! You go, girl!

- Come on out here. Come on out.

Please, please, sir.

- Now, when I was growing up,

my whole family used to eat dinner together.

We'd sit around the table,

talk about what was going on in our lives.

But there's one thing we never talked about,

and that is sex.

Instead, we talked a lot about shopping.

So I'm going to tell you a shopping story.

Now, when I was young,

I used to go shopping all the time.

Sometimes I went shopping two, three times a day.

I was a regular shopaholic.

- What?

- I went shopping with friends.

It's safe, it's comfortable.

You've been to the store before.

You know the merchandise is clean.

I went shopping with coworkers.

Sometimes I even went to bars, went shopping with strangers.

Bad idea--you never know what you're going to get.

Well, you might get somebody who shops too fast.

- And sometimes you get someone

who can't even find the door to the store.

- Oh my God.

[laughter, cheers, and applause]

I understand you young people.

Sometimes you stay home, shop alone, using the Internet.

Now that I'm older, I would rather shop alone.

I know what I'm looking for,

and I know exactly where to find it.

But I'm married, so sometimes I have to take

my husband shopping.

And I'm sure you all know once a man finishes shopping,

there is no keeping him in the store.

So he goes home.

I still have to finish shopping alone.

[laughter]

- You are brilliant.

- Thank you. Thank you. - Can I ask a question?

- Yes.

- Why was everyone laughing about you shopping?

- Oh, my God!

- * What a way to make a livin' *

- You are incredible.

Your sense of humor is spectacular.

I mean, I have not enjoyed a comedian this season

as much as I have enjoyed you.

I want to know what Howie thinks

because he was going crazy, like--

- Oh, you're amazing. - Thank you.

- This is memorable.

This is viral.

There is a shot for you to win this whole thing.

Based on that routine, you're a master.

- Thank you. That means so much to me.

- Sandra, Sandra, Sandra, you are...

naughty, aren't you?

But I love you.

- Thank you. - I absolutely love you.

- Simon?

- Thank you.

- Sandra, look, to be honest with you,

I didn't quite understand the whole shopping thing.

I didn't. No.

However, I would say that every great comedian

needs a happy ending, yes.

- Ah! - Oh!

- * What a way to make a livin' *

- We're going to vote, Sandra.

I have the honor to give you your first yes.

- Thank you. - Howie?

- Oh, yes!

- Mel? - Oh, yes, baby.

- Thank you. Thank you. - Simon?

- Yes! - Four yeses!

[cheers and applause]

* *

- * And you think about it, don't you? *

* It's a rich man's game... *

- I want to be her when I grow up.

* *

- I wasn't shaking before. I am now.

- That was funny.

- That was a good one. - Oh, my God.

- That audience, the judges, everybody in America loves you.

- Oh, thank you. I love you all.

- All right, go celebrate.

Auditions for next season are officially open.

- If you got talent,

- Growing up, the Spice Girls was one of our influences.

We love a group of women

that celebrated their individuality,

and that's something we bring to our band.

We want little girls to look at our band and be like,

I love her because of this reason,

I love her because of that, and they can see themselves in us.

And that's what the Spice Girls did for us.

- Here you go.

And you guys will go out there and talk first,

and then I'll bring your mic stand out.

I'll take the mic from you. I'll put it in the stand, okay?

- Our dream is to get the Grammy,

is to headline our own tour.

We put Z because we're all born in Generation Z.

- So you're not all sisters, no?

- We are. - Oh, you are?

- Oh, how fun. - They have the same last name.

- Yes, we are sisters.

- The gap.

- And where are you from? all: Snellville, Georgia.

- Oh.

So what makes you different

from anything else that we've seen before?

- Hmm.

Well, we are a country-infused band

with Western, R&B, and pop. - Love it.

- You don't get that every day, do you?

- No, you don't. You don't.

- Plus, we dance. - We dance.

- Oh, I love it.

I am so looking forward to this.

I really am.

Take it away, ladies.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Wow, wow, wow!

I wish I had another Golden Buzzer.

- Wow. - Howie, what did you think?

- Is that an original song? all: Yes.

- Wow. I love the blending

of country music and rhythm and harmony.

And I think that we're watching a blastoff

of a brand-new career, a brand-new group.

- * I'm surrounded by your embrace *

- Sofía, me and you got on our feet.

- I mean, that was spectacular--

the outfits, the song, the voices, the energy.

I mean, it looks like you have worked hard for this,

and I think people in America are going to love you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Simon?

- You know, when I watch some of these shows back,

you know what the most annoying thing is?

When you hear people over and over again saying,

you're going to be a star, you're going to be a star.

Well, let me tell you something--

you're going to be stars.

Yeah, you really are. - Thank you!

- This is almost a perfect audition, seriously.

- Yes.

- The way that your synergy is, your harmonies--

you are beyond.

Honestly, you've just literally blown this

out of the water for me.

We got to go all the way, y'all.

[BoykinZ cheering] All the way.

- You snooze, you lose.

You should've just gotten in there.

- You took too long.

- How are you feeling right now?

I see you're emotional. - Yes.

- You hit the gold button,

and then everything happened so fast.

I was like, thank you, Terry.

- I was thinking about the doors being open.

I was thinking about my family back home.

I was thinking about every kid watching on TV back home,

knowing that they can do this, too.

- Yes, and that's the thing--

so many people just wait to be given,

and they wait, and they wait.

Y'all didn't wait. Y'all deserve this.

Y'all did this.

- We did it. - Yeah.

- The Golden Buzzer.

It's like a golden stamp on your dream.

And your life has changed forever.

- [vocalizing] - [vocalizing]

- You believe that you can win? - I mean, miracles can happen.

- The confetti coming down...

there's something magical about it.

- All it takes is one person to believe.

- There's no words that can describe it, really.

Seeing their dreams come true right in front of them--

it's quite breathtaking.

- Well, your wish just came true.

- The Golden Buzzer--it's our version of the gold medal.
