RESPONSIBILITY IS MY MIDDLE NAME.

I'M OKAY WITH THIS. A LOT OF PRESSURE.

I'VE SEEN A LOT. YOU GOT TO STEP IT UP.

I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR SOMEBODY THAT CAN WIN THIS.

LET'S DO IT. >> Terry: ALL RIGHT.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO YOU PICK.

SO, WE HAVE ELEVEN ACTS. THREE WILL MAKE NEXT WEEK'S

OFF-THE-CHARTS TENSION? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

FIRST UP, LET'S GET THE HOUSE ROCKING.

9:00 P.M. MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN.

>> IT'S NOT 9:00 P.M. >> SORRY.

>> IT'S NOT 9:00 P.M. >> WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE

WE WERE BORN. >> 20 YEARS AGO WE WERE IN HIS

BASEMENT. I WAS PLAYING THE DRUMS.

HE WAS LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR.

WE WOULD STAY THERE FOR HOURS, NOT KNOWING WE WOULD BE HERE 20

YEARS LATER. >> IT'S CRAZY.

>> ALL RIGHT, GUYS. >> IT'S BEEN AMAZING.

AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S BEEN TOUGH.

>> WE'VE HAD A LOT OF JOBS. I SOLD FIREWORKS, DROVE UBER,

WORKED AT AN ACCOUNTING OFFICE. >> I SOLD SOCCER SOCKS ONLINE.

>> FOR SO LONG WE WERE PLAYING FOR THREE TO FOUR PEOPLE.

WE NEEDED TO FIND A WAY TO GET OUR MUSIC IN FRONT OF AS MANY

PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. WE STARTED POSTING ON SOCIAL

MEDIA. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS SO LONG

WITH LITTLE TO NO MONEY. >> ALL THE VIEWS IN THE WORLD

DON'T EQUATE TO PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU SINGING YOUR MUSIC BACK

TO YOU. THE REASON WE DID "AGT" WAS TO

PUT OUR MUSIC AT THE FOREFRONT. >> Simon: IF THIS MUSIC IS GOOD,

IT'S GOING TO REACT WITHIN MINUTES.

>> AND IT DID. >> ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOOK OFF

BECAUSE OF "AGT." NOW WE'RE BACK AND PERFORMING

LIVE. IT'S DIFFERENT.

>> SO MUCH MORE PRESSURE. ONE SHOT AND THIS IS IT.

>> WE'RE ON "AGT" TO PROVE WE'RE MORE THAN JUST VIEWS ON SOCIAL

MEDIA. >> WE WANT TO BE ONE OF THE

BIGGEST ACTS OF ALL TIME. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

SOFIA? >> Sofia: I THINK YOU GUYS ARE

GREAT. I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GUYS ARE SO

POPULAR ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE FUN AND YOU'RE

DIFFERENT. YOU'RE IN YOUR OWN LANE.

IT'S JUST FUN. I LIKE IT.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Terry: HOWIE?

>> Howie: I'LL BE HONEST. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT.

YOU COULD BE STARS. YOU DESERVE TO BE AT THIS LEVEL

RIGHT NOW. TO BE TRUTHFUL WITH YOU, THE

SONG THAT YOU FIRST AUDITIONED WITH WAS THE A SIDE, THIS WAS

THE B SIDE. THIS DIDN'T STEP IT UP.

IT WASN'T BETTER. IT'S GOOD.

AMERICA, LOOK AT THE AUDITION AND VOTE BASED ON THAT.

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO. >> Terry: MEL B, WHAT DID YOU

THINK? >> Mel B: I THOUGHT THE SONG

IT'S WAS GREAT. THE BAND SOUNDED TIGHT.

THAT BAND ROCKED IT. UNFORTUNATELY I JUST -- I

THOUGHT YOU STARTED YOUR VOCALS REALLY SHAKY.

YOU COULD HAVE DONE BETTER VOCALLY.

YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S

LIVE. IT'S HARD.

I THINK YOU MADE A REALLY SMART DECISION COMING ON THIS SHOW.

I REALLY DO. I HAVE RESPECT FOR YOU, YOU

KNOW, BECAUSE I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE IN YOUR EAR SAYING

DON'T GO ON THAT SHOW. YOU SAW THE REACTION TO THAT

FIRST SONG. I FELT SOME VERY EXCITED PEOPLE

BEHIND ME, WHICH WAS GREAT. I THINK WHAT'S REALLY GOOD ABOUT

YOU IS THAT YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I DON'T THINK THAT SONG WAS AS GOOD AS THE FIRST SONG.

HOWEVER, I REALLY HOPE -- I HOPE YOU GET A CHANCE TO COME BACK

BECAUSE, IF YOU DO, I WOULD DO THAT FIRST SONG AGAIN.

I LOVED THAT. I REALLY LOVED THAT SONG.

>> Terry: CRASH ADAMS, YOU GUYS HAVE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS

ONLINE. HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO

PERFORMING LIVE? >> I MEAN, ALL THE SUCCESS IN

THE WORLD ONLINE DOESN'T COMPARE TO THIS.

LOOK AT THIS CROWD. LOOK AT THIS CROWD.

ESPECIALLY ON "AGT" AND WE HOPE AMERICA -- WE HOPE YOU GUYS WERE

JUST AS ELECTRIC AS THIS. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

GUYS. REMEMBER, ONLY THREE ACTS CAN GO

INTO THE SEMI-FINAL. SO VOTE.

THEN VOTE SOME MORE. AND KEEP VOTING.

OKAY, UP NEXT IS MAGICIAN ZAK MIRZ.

WE NEED YOU TO GRAB FOUR PIECES OF PAPER AND WRITE THE NAME OF A

DIFFERENT ANIMAL ON EACH ONE. WRITE IT NICE AND BIG, SO IT

TAKES UP THE WHOLE PAGE. AND WE'LL SEE YOU RIGHT AFTER

THIS BREAK. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

*

>> Simon: THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A

GOOD AUDITION ON YOUR OWN. WITH YOUR MUM, IT WAS A GREAT

AUDITION. >> Howie: WE'VE HAD THREE

MAGICIANS WIN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT," AND YOU TOOK THAT BAR

AND WENT ABOVE IT.

AND WENT ABOVE IT.

>> Sofia: IT WAS EXCITING. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* >> Terry: WE ARE TURNING UP THE

HEAT ON THE AGENTS BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE FOR ANYONE TO

MAKE THE SEMI-FINAL. SO AS THE NIGHT GOES ON, WE WANT

TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FEELING. WHO'S NAILING IT?

WHO'S FAILING IT? HOW ARE THE JUDGES DOING?

TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS SUIT.

WHICH ACT WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE OVER FOR DINNER AND WHY?

JUST TELL US ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING "AGT."

OKAY, DID Y'ALL GET YOUR PIECES OF PAPER READY LIKE I TOLD YOU?

YOU'RE GONNA NEED THEM IN JUST A MINUTE.

AS A YOUNG BOY, THIS MAGICIAN WAS INSPIRED BY DAVID BLAINE,

WHICH IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

FROM DALLAS, TEXAS, HERE'S ZAK MIRZ.

>> I'LL NEVER FORGET THE TIME I SAW MAGIC.

I WAS 8 YEARS OLD AS MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE AND DAVID BLAINE

CAME ON. I TOLD MYSELF THAT'S WHAT I WANT

TO DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. >> I BELIEVE THE ONE YOU'RE

POINTING AT IS THE RED. >> Howie: WE'VE HAD THREE

MAGICIANS WIN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT," AND YOU TOOK THAT BAR

AND WENT ABOVE IT. >> Simon: FOUR YESES.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> IT TOOK ME YEARS TO MUSTER UP

THE COURAGE TO BE IN FRONT OF THE JUDGES.

THAT WAS AN AMAZING FEELING AND VALIDATION.

AFTER MY AUDITION AIRED, DAVID BLAINE CALLED ME.

IT'S NOT OFTEN YOUR HERO REACHES OUT TO YOU.

IT'S LIKE WHAT IS LIFE WHAT NOW? JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THINGS

COULDN'T GET BETTER, WE HAD A SECOND DAUGHTER.

HER NAME IS ARYA. I LOVE BEING A GIRL DAD.

IT'S THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD.

YOU SEE THAT SMILE AND THAT LAUGH FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

THIS IS WHAT MOTIVATES ME TO GET UP EVERY SINGLE DAY.

LAYLA, I'M GOING TO MISS YOU. UNFORTUNATELY MY FAMILY WASN'T

ABLE TO COME WITH ME THIS TIME. THIS OPPORTUNITY, WHO KNOWS IF

I'LL EVER HAVE IT AGAIN. SO I'M DOING THIS FOR MY TWO

DAUGHTERS, MY WIFE, MY FAMILY, OUR FUTURE, EVERYTHING.

>> ZAK, READY FOR YOU ON STAGE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> WOW. SO YOU JUST HEARD THE BIG NEWS.

WE JUST HAD OUR SECOND DAUGHTER. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO MY LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES A

AND, AND, AND MY HOUSE IS MESS. SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A

BIG MESS TOGETHER. DURING THE BREAK EVERYBODY

SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED FOUR CARDS. ON THEM ARE JUST DIFFERENT

RANDOM ANIMALS. JUDGES, PLEASE GRAB YOUR CARDS

AND PUT THEM FACE DOWN LIKE THIS AND JUST SHUFFLE THEM UP IN YOUR

HANDS SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH ANIMAL IS WHICH POSITION.

EVEN YOU AT HOME, YOU SHOULD HAVE FOUR CARDS AS WELL.

IF YOU FOLLOW ALONG TONIGHT, I PROMISE THE MAGIC WILL HAPPEN

WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD. NOW THAT EVERYBODY'S CARDS ARE

SHUFFLED, WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS DO IT EXACTLY LIKE I DO IT.

SQUARE UP ALL FOUR OF YOUR CARDS FACE DOWN LIKE THIS.

THEN YOU TURN IT HORIZONTALLY AND GIVE IT LIKE A BEND.

WE'RE ABOUT TO TEAR ALL THE CARDS IN HALF.

I KNOW. THEY'RE PAPER THOUGH.

TEAR THEM IN HALF AND HOLD THEM JUST LIKE THIS.

PUT ONE STACK ON TOP OF THE OTHER JUST LIKE THAT.

YEP. PUT ONE STACK -- SO YOU HAVE ONE

BIG STACK LIKE THIS. WHEN YOU'VE DONE THAT, LET ME

HEAR YOU SAY YEAH. >> All: YEAH.

>> EVERYBODY TAKE THE TOP THREE CARDS.

TOP THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE.

TOP THREE CARDS JUST LIKE THAT. WATCH ME DO IT FIRST.

OKAY. TAKE THOSE THREE CARDS, YOU'RE

NOT GOING TO PUT IT AT THE VERY TOP OR AT THE VERY BOTTOM.

TAKE THE THREE CARDS AND BURY IT SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR

STACK. GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.

PUT YOUR THREE CARDS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.

CAN WE DO THAT? >> All: YEAH.

>> ALL RIGHT. OH, MR. SIMON, I FORGOT THIS.

TAKE THE TOP CARD AND SIT ON IT. SIT ON IT.

THAT'S YOUR SELECTED CARD. WE'LL GET BACK TO THAT IN A

MOMENT. NOW, JUDGES, AUDIENCE, AND EVEN

YOU AT HOME, YOU'RE ABOUT TO MAKE A DECISION.

THE DECISION YOU'RE ABOUT TO MAKE WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING.

NOW, YOU CAN TAKE ZERO CARDS OR YOU CAN TAKE ONE CARD FROM THE

TOP, TWO OR THREE CARDS FROM THE TOP.

DO THAT NOW. YOU CAN TAKE ZERO CARDS, ONE,

TWO, THREE FROM THE TOP AND HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND LIKE THIS.

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS THE CARDS YOU CHOSE, BURY IT

SOMEWHERE LIKE WE DID BEFORE IN THE MIDDLE SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE

IT'S AT. SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.

HAVE WE DONE THAT? >> NOW, LET'S MAKE A MESS.

EVERYBODY TAKE THE NEXT TWO CARDS LIKE THIS.

ONE, TWO. NEXT TWO CARDS ON THE VERY TOP

AND THROW THEM OVER YOUR SHOULDERS.

MAKE A MESS. WHOA.

WHOA. CAN WE DO THAT AGAIN, PLEASE?

>> Simon: YES. >> TAKE TWO MORE FROM THE TOP

AND THROW TWO MORE OVER YOUR SHOULDE

SHOULDERS. EVERYBODY HAS A FEW CARDS LEFT.

EVERYBODY HAS A FEW CARDS LEFT. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

ELIMINATE ALL THE CARDS UNTIL WE HAVE ONE.

TAKE THE VERY TOP CARD LIKE THIS AND PUT IT AT THE VERY BOTTOM,

VERY BOTTOM. TAKE THE NEXT CARD AND THROW IT

AWAY. TAKE THE TOP CARD, THROW IT AT

THE VERY BOTTOM. TAKE THE NEXT CARD AND THROW IT

AWAY. >> Howie: IT'S TAKING TOO LONG.

[AUDIENCE BOOS] >> HOLD ON.

HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S FINE.

KIND OF HURT MY FEELINGS. IT'S FINE.

HEY, YOU ALL MADE A RANDOM MESS TONIGHT.

EVERYBODY SHUFFLED THEIR CARDS IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAYS,

YEAH? IF YOU ALL HAVE THIS CARD IN

YOUR HAND, BUT AT THE BEGINNING OF ALL THIS, JUDGES, AUDIENCE,

AND YOU AT HOME, YOU SELECTED A RANDOM CARD AND YOU'VE BEEN

SITTING ON IT. >> Mel B: YEAH.

>> EVERYBODY TAKE IT OUT RIGHT NOW.

>> SEE IF YOUR TWO PIECES MATCH. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Sofia: OH, MY GOD! >> SIMON, SHOW ME YOUR CARDS.

SHOW ME YOUR CARDS. SHOW ME YOUR CARDS.

HALF KANGAROO AND A HALF GORILLA, A KANGA-RILLA.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, AMERICA.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ZAK MIRZ, OH, HOWIE,

YOU GONNA STICK WITH YOUR RED BUZZER?

>> Howie: I KNOW. >> Mel B: TAKE IT OFF.

>> Terry: TAKE THE RED BUZZER OFF.

>> Howie: I'M GOING TO TAKE IT BACK.

BUT IT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK LONGER TO CREATE THIS MAGIC THAN

IT DID TO BUILD OUR IKEA LOUNGE. IT'S JUST -- DID YOU HEAR WHAT I

SAID? I SAID IT TOOK LONGER TO MAKE

THIS TRICK THAN BUILD THE IKEA LOUNGE.

IT WAS A GOOD TRICK. TAKE BACK THE X.

AMERICA, YOU VOTE. >> Terry: MEL B?

>> Mel B: WOW, WOW, WOW. YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU,

YOU WERE TEARING UP WATCHING THAT CLIP OF YOU AND YOUR

BABIES. THEY'RE GOING TO BE SO PROUD OF

YOU. THAT WAS BRILLIANT, ABSOLUTELY

BRILLIANT. >> Terry: SIMON, YOU IMPRESSED?

>> Simon: BY THE WAY, THAT'S NOT A TRICK.

THAT'S MAGIC, RIGHT? >> Mel B: MAGIC.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Simon: YOU KNOW WHAT, I WAS

TALKING TO YOU SECONDS BEFORE WE WENT LIVE ON AIR, I KNOW HOW

MUCH THIS MEANS TO YOU. I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, YOU

CAN'T -- THAT WAS SHOCKING WHAT YOU DID WITH THE X.

SHOCKING. >> Terry: SOFIA?

>> Howie: I HAVE A VERY SHORT ATTENTION SPAN.

>> Simon: OBVIOUSLY. >> Sofia: TO BE PART OF YOUR ACT

WAS SUPER SPECIAL. IT WAS A LITTLE TOO COMPLICATED,

TOO MANY INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BEGINNING.

I GOT A LITTLE WORRIED, BUT IT ALL TURNED OUT EVEN BETTER.

>> Terry: ZAK, YOUR HERO DAVID BLAINE CALLED YOU.

WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU? >> HE HELPED ME WITH MY ACT.

HE SAID, NO, WE'RE DOING THIS. >> Terry: ANYTHING YOU WANT TO

SAY TO YOUR FAMILY BACK HOME? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO YOUR

FAMILY? >> I LOVE YOU.

I MISS YOU. DON'T MAKE A MESS AT HOME.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, ZAK.

WANNA SEE MORE OF ZAK IN THE SEMI-FINAL?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

STAY RIGHT THERE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* >> Terry: THIS IS THE LAST "AGT"

QUARTER-FINAL, AND REMEMBER, HOWIE HAS THE LIVE GOLDEN BUZZER

THIS WEEK. LET'S HOPE HOWIE REMEMBERS THAT

TOO. OKAY, AS THIS ACT WAS PERFORMING

AT THE AUDITIONS, SOFIA KEPT DOING THIS.

AND SHE WAS RIGHT. THEN SIMON SAID THEY WERE ONE OF

THE BEST ACTS OF THE YEAR. BUT PLEASE, DON'T, DON'T, DON'T

TRY ANYTHING THEY DO YOURSELVES. FROM ETHIOPIA, HERE'S THE

TT BOYS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> WE'RE FROM ETHIOPIA. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.

>> THE CULTURE, THE FOOD, YOU KNOW, EVEN THE COUFFEE.

>> WE MET WHEN WE WERE 10 YEARS OLD.

WE WERE TRYING TRICKS. IT WAS ALL FOR FUN.

I REMEMBER I VOMITED MY FIRST TIME.

>> THE FIRST TIME WE PERFORMED ON THE STAGE, I WAS, LIKE, YEAH,

THIS IS WHY I WAS BORN. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH

MY LIFE. 20 YEARS LATER AND WE'RE HERE.

>> Simon: THAT WAS [ BLEEP ] INCREDIBLE.

>> THE LIVE SHOW, WE WANT THE GOLDEN BUZZER.

SO THIS IS THE BEST WE'VE PREPARED OUR WHOLE LIFE.

>> WHEN I'M FLYING THROUGH THE AIR, IT'S REALLY HARD TO KNOW

WHICH WAY'S UP AND WHICH WAY IS DOWN.

USUALLY WE PUT A WHITE SQUARE ON THE STAGE SO I CAN TELL WHICH

WAY I'M FACING. TONIGHT I'M USING A BLIND FOLD.

>> HOW'S IT FEEL? >> 100 TIMES HARDER.

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. I JUST GOT TO TRUST THAT YOU GOT

ME. >> THERE'S NO ROOM FOR MISTAKES

FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING. THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS JUST

TRUST. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* *

* * I WAS BORN LONG AGO

I AM THE CHOSEN I'M THE ONE *

* I HAVE COME TO SAVE THE DAY *

* AND I WON'T LEAVE UNTIL I'M DONE *

* SO THAT'S WHY YOU'VE GOT TO TRY *

* YOU GOT TO BREATHE AND HAVE SOME FUN *

MEL B, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET. >> Mel B: I ACTUALLY FEEL SICK

AND I FEEL EXHAUSTED. THAT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD!

>> Terry: SIMON, UNREAL. WHAT DO YOU THINK, SIMON?

>> Simon: I MEAN I WANT TO SAY WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE BEHIND ME IS

SAYING, TERRY. AN ACT LIKE THAT CREATES SO MUCH

EXCITEMENT IN YOU. SEEING IT SO CLOSE -- IT WAS

HARD THE FIRST TIME. YOU ARE -- I MEAN, SERIOUSLY,

BRAVE. RESPECT.

BRILLIANT. SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: SOFIA?

>> Sofia: I THOUGHT THAT WAS EXCITING, DRAMATIC, DANGEROUS

AND YOU STEPPED IT UP MORE THAN THE AUDITION.

THAT WAS A PERFECT ACT. >> THANK YOU.

>> Terry: HOWIE, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS, MAN?

>> Howie: THAT WAS AMAZING. THAT WAS WOW.

THAT WAS TERRIFYING. THAT WAS A STEP UP.

THAT WAS -- [ CROWD CHANTING ]

>> COME ON. COME ON.

>> Howie: THERE'S JUST SO MUCH MORE TO SEE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. >> Sofia: DO IT.

>> Howie: I CAN'T DO IT YET. >> Terry: MAKE A DECISION,

HOWIE. >> Howie: I CAN'T DO IT YET.

AMERICA, VOTE THEM THROUGH. >> Sofia: WAIT!

>> Terry: HOWIE, LISTEN -- HE'S BLEEDING UP HERE.

HE'S GOT A CUT. GUYS, HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS?

HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW? >> AMAZING.

WE WANTED TO TAKE THE ACT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

WE WORKED VERY HARD TO GET HERE TONIGHT.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GUYS.

WANNA SEE WHAT ON EARTH THEY CAN DO NEXT?

THEN VOTE THEM INTO THE SEMI-FINAL.

YOU HAVE UNTIL 7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW, SO GET ON THE APPS,

GET ONLINE, AND VOTE. AFTER THE BREAK, THIS SINGER AND

HIS MOM HAVE JUST TWO MINUTES TO

HIS MOM HAVE JUST TWO MINUTES TO

PULL AT [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* >> Terry: ON "AGT," WE SEE BIG

ACTS WITH LIGHTS, DANCERS, SINGERS, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.

THIS NEXT DUO IS JUST A 23-YEAR-OLD GUY, HIS MOM, A

GUITAR AND A CELLO AND IT'S SO POUR.

HERE'S COLE SWENSEN AND JUDY. >> I'VE BNL A PROFESSIONAL

CELLIST FOR 25 YEARS. AS THE KIDS GOT OLDER, IT BECAME

DIFFICULT. THEN I CHANGED CAREERS AND

BECAME A NURSE, BUT I DID MISS THE MUSIC.

* GROWN MEN AND CHOIRS ARE SINGING *

>> I STRUMMED THE LAST NOTE AND LOOKED UP AND I LOOKED OVER AND

SHE WAS JUST, LIKE -- >> Simon: WITH YOUR MUM IT WAS A

GREAT AUDITION. ACTUALLY MADE YOU VERY COOL TO

DO THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE HERD AND THAT

MAKES YOU STAND OUT. >> I THOUGHT, OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

COLE, HE'S BEEN TRYING, HE'S BEEN DOING THAT.

I REMEMBER IN TENTH GRADE HE FOUND MUSIC AND STARTED WRITING

SONGS AND IT WAS LIKE THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOT TO DO.

IT BROUGHT HIM TO L.A. ON HIS OWN TRYING TO GET INTO THE

INDUSTRY. >> I BUILT THESE PANELS WITH

INSULATION AND BUILT MY CLOSET. SHE THINKS IT'S SO FUNNY.

>> AT FIRST I DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD DO THE LIVE SHOWS WITH

COLE, BUT THEN HE CONVINCED ME TO GO ON.

>> LITTLE MORE NERVE-RACKING. >> LITTLE MORE NERVE-RACKING.

>> IF I'M GOING TO HAVE THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY, OF COURSE I

WANT HER PART OF IT. SHE HAD THREE KIDS, CHANGED HER

WHOLE CAREER AND STEPPED AWAY. SHE ADDS SOMETHING REALLY

BEAUTIFUL WITH HER CELLO. I THINK WE HAVE SOMETHING

BEAUTIFUL TO SHARE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* * I WANT YOU TO STAY

'TIL I'M IN THE GRAVE * * 'TIL I ROT AWAY

DEAD AND BURIED * * 'TIL I'M IN THE CASKET

YOU CARRY * * IF YOU GO

I'M GOING TOO * * 'CAUSE IT WAS ALWAYS YOU *

>> Terry: COLE SWENSEN AND JUDY. SOFIA?

>> Sofia: THIS ACT IS ALL ABOUT EMOTION.

I THINK WE WERE ALL LIKE -- LIKE, LIKE EMOTIONAL.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL THE BOND YOU GUYS HAVE BETWEEN EACH OTHER.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. >> Terry: HOWIE?

>> Howie: I THINK I'M GOING TO GET BOOED AGAIN.

I THINK IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE THAT SONG, BUT TO SING A

LOVE SONG WITH YOUR MOTHER SITTING THERE IS --

[AUDIENCE BOOS] >> Mel B: COME ON.

>> Howie: THEY SEEM TO AGREE WITH ME.

IT WAS JUST A LITTLE AWKWARD FOR ME.

>> Terry: MEL, MEL. >> Howie: HELP ME, MEL.

>> Sofia: IGNORE HIM. >> Sofia: MEL, GO AHEAD.

>> Mel B: I'M TRYING. I THINK THE VOCALS SOUNDED

BEAUTIFUL. IT'S A VERY MONOTONE SONG, BUT

IT'S ALSO A BEAUTIFUL SONG. BUT I --

>> Howie: YOU AGREE WITH ME. >> Mel B: I JUST -- I CAN'T GET

OVER THE FACT -- [AUDIENCE BOOS]

>> Mel B: IT'S A SON AND A MOTHER, WHICH I LOVE THAT BOND.

I JUST -- I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY MIND --

>> Sofia: SHE'S ONLY PLAYING THE INSTRUMENT.

>> Terry: SIMON, YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.

I SEE YOU. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY?

>> Simon: THAT LITERALLY DIDN'T CROSS MY MIND ONCE.

>> Terry: THANK YOU. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Simon: I THINK PEOPLE AT HOME WILL GOING TO LOVE BOTH OF YOU.

I REALLY DO. I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU

CHOSE -- NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THAT SONG.

YOU GOT A LITERALLY COOL VOICE. >> Mel B: YEAH.

>> Simon: LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THIS WHOLE THING BETWEEN THE TWO

OF YOU MAKES IT BRILLIANT. I MEAN, I ACTUALLY LOVED THAT

PERFORMANCE. I REALLY DID.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: COLE, YOUR BOND

BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR MOM IS SO CLOSE.

HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE TONIGHT?

>> I MEAN -- [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: JUDY, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS?

>> GREATEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK. LISTEN, YOUR VOTES CAN CHANGE

LIVES. GET ON THE "AGT" APP, THE NBC

APP, OR GO TO NBC.COM AND PUT THEM INTO THE SEMI-FINAL.

>> Simon: THIS WAS ABOUT GIVING YOU CONFIDENCE AND THIS

ABSOLUTELY WORKED.

>> WE GOT TOGETHER TO WIN OUR

ABSOLUTELY WORKED.

>> WE GOT TOGETHER TO WIN OUR WORLD CAN DO THIS.

BUT THAT DOESN'T SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF WHAT OUR NEXT ACT CAN

DO WITH HIS MUSCLES. HIS AUDITION HAS HAD THE HIGHEST

NUMBER OF VIEWS OF ANY ACT IN THE COMPETITION.

FROM PLANTATION, FLORIDA, HERE'S MIKE MUNZ.

>> DID I SAY HI ALREADY? >> AS A KID I WAS VERY

INTROVERTED, SKINNY AND INSECURE ABOUT THAT.

WHEN I WAS 16, MY FRIEND GOT ME INTO WORKING OUT.

EVENTUALLY I DEVELOPED A LITTLE MORE MUSCLE, FELL IN LOVE WITH

THE PROCESS AND FROM THERE IT WAS JUST --

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Sofia: WHAT?

>> Simon: I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE HAVE SO MANY MUSCLES AND CONTROL

THEM ALL OVER. >> I WENT FROM NOT WANTING

ANYONE TO SEE ME TO 80 MILLION PEOPLE.

IT'S A BIG THING. THE JUDGES GAVE ME A YES.

WITH ONLY 44 SPOTS IN THE LIVE SHOWS, I DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT.

BUT THEN -- >> A SPOT OPENED UP AND WE WANT

YOU TO COME TO THE LIVE SHOWS. >> LET'S GO!

>> I GOT A WEEK TO BEAT AN ACT THAT TOOK ME MONTHS TO COME UP

WITH THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE TWO SUITCASES.

EIGHT DAYS TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING CRAZY.

THIS PERFORMANCE HAS TO BE BIGGER.

IT HAS TO BE BETTER. I'VE HAD TO TRAIN A LOT HARDER

THIS LAST WEEK. I HAD TO LOCK INTO MY DIET TO

GET A LITTLE EXTRA SHREDDED A CRISPY SO THE MUSCLES WILL LOOK

MORE FLUID. EVERYTHING COMING DOWN IN SUCH A

SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS IS LIVE SO MILLIONS OF EYES

ARE ON ME. I KNOW HOW BIG IT IS TO GET A

SECOND CHANCE. I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE IT.

SIMON, WHAT DIDN'T YOU LIKE ABOUT THAT?

>> Simon: I LOVE MIKE. I LOVE HIS MUSCLES.

IT JUST WASN'T AN ACT. IT WAS JUST SOMEBODY TAKING OFF

THEIR CLOTHES AND WALKING UP TOWARDS US.

I MEAN, THAT'S NOT AN ACT. >> Terry: I DISAGREE.

MEL B? >> Mel B: I DISAGREE.

WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY AND YOUR MUSCLES IS INSANELY

TALENTED. I REALLY DO.

I MEAN, MAYBE YOU NEED SOME HELP WITH THE MUSIC AND CHOREOGRAPHY,

BUT WHAT YOU DO I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

GOOD FOR YOU. >> Terry: HOWIE, ARE YOU

JEALOUS? >> Howie: NO.

I AGREE WITH SIMON. I THINK THAT IT IS NOT AN AGECT.

I THINK IT'S A DEMONSTRATION. BUT MAYBE IF YOU BROUGHT YOUR

MOTHER OUT AND DID IT FOR HER -- >> SHE'S HERE TODAY.

SHE'S ACTUALLY HERE THIS TIME. >> Terry: SOFIA?

>> Sofia: I DISAGREE WITH THESE JEALOUS MEN.

>> Mel B: ME TOO. >> Sofia: I THINK WHAT MAKES

YOUR ACT SO SPECIAL IS THAT IT'S THE KIND OF ACT THAT THE WORLD

CAN ONLY SEE ON "AGT." >> Mel B: EXACTLY.

>> Sofia: YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

THAT WAS SPECTACULAR. >> Mel B: I AGREE.

>> Terry: NOW, MIKE, YOU WENT FROM A SHY KID TO THE GUY THE

WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING. HOW ARE YOU FEELING TONIGHT?

>> I MEAN, HAVING OVER 80 MILLION PEOPLE SEE ME, IT'S A

VERY SURREAL EXPERIENCE. IT DEFINITELY KIND OF HEALS THAT

INNER CHILD THAT WAS SO SHY. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

MIKE. DO YOU WANT TO SEE MIKE AND HIS

MUSCLES IN THE SEMI-FINAL? YOU KNOW YOU DO.

SO GET VOTING AND DON'T STOP. AFTER THE BREAK, A SINGER WHO

HAS WORKED SO HARD AND SO LONG FOR HIS SHOT.

IT'S CHUCK ADAMS, WHEN WE COME BACK.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* >> Terry: ONE PIECE OF ADVICE

CHANGED THIS SINGER'S LIFE AND NOW HE'S HERE SINGING FOR A SPOT

IN THE SEMI-FINAL. FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE,

HERE'S CHUCK ADAMS. >> IT'S BEEN A LONG -- IT'S BEEN

A LONG ROAD, THIS PATH HERE. I WAS RAPPING WITH FRIENDS AT 13

YEARS OLD. I WAS AT STUDIO WRITING AT 16.

I DIDN'T HAVE A PLACE TO STAY. I SLEPT IN MY CAR.

I WAS DOING THAT FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS, BUT I WAS SINGLE.

I WAS DROPPED THE NEXT YEAR AND PEOPLE UNFOLLOWED ME.

IN THE MOMENT IT FELT LIKE MY WORLD ENDED.

I BASICALLY GOT ON THE MOTORCYCLE, DROVE ACROSS THE

GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE AND THAT WAS IT.

I WENT SO SOME TINY LITTLE TOWN SINGING A SONG I LOVED FOR

WHOEVER WANTED IT TO HEAR. COMING ON "AGT," I HAVE A CHANCE

TO MAKE IT. MY MOTHER HAS BEEN ASKING ME TO

DO THE SHOI FW FOR A DECADE AT LEAST.

* I DON'T THINK THAT THEY UNDERSTAND *

>> Simon: YOU HAVE A PRESENCE ABOUT YOU.

>> 60 MILLION VIEWS. THE GOO GOO DOLLS REPOSTED IT.

>> WHETHER IT'S TOO YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE, THINK ABOUT EVERY

SINGLE WORD WHAT YOUR MEANING IS.

>> FALLING IN LOVE WITH MY ART AND LISTENING TO MY MOTHER

SHOWED ME A WHOLE NEW WORLD, WHICH IS BETTER THAN I COULD

HAVE IMAGINED. *

* * TODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY

THAT THEY'RE GONNA THROW IT BACK TO YOU *

* BY NOW, YOU SHOULD'VE SOMEHOW REALIZED

WHAT YOU GOTTA DO * * I DON'T BELIEVE THAT

ANYBODY FEELS THE WAY I DO ABOUT YOU NOW *

* BACKBEAT, THE WORD IS ON THE STREET THAT THE FIRE

IN YOUR HEART IS OUT * * I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD

IT ALL BEFORE BUT YOU NEVER REALLY HAD A DOUBT *

* I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY FEELS THE WAY I DO

ABOUT YOU NOW * * AND ALL THE ROADS WE HAVE

TO WALK ARE WINDING * * AND ALL THE LIGHTS THAT

LEAD US THERE ARE BLINDING * * THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOU BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW *

* DON'T KNOW HOW * * BECAUSE MAYBE

YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE THAT SAVES ME *

* AND AFTER ALL YOU'RE MY WONDERWALL *

* THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO YOU

BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW * * I SAID MAYBE

YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE THAT SAVES ME *

* AND AFTER ALL YOU'RE MY WONDERWALL *

* I SAID MAYBE YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE

THAT SAVES ME * * YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE

THAT SAVES ME * * YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE

THAT SAVES ME * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: CHUCK ADAMS. SOFIA?

>> Sofia: I'M VERY EXCITED BECAUSE I JUST SAW THEM TWO DAYS

AGO AT THE ROSE BOWL AND NOW I HEAR YOU SING THAT SONG, YOUR

OWN VERSION, YOU MADE IT YOURSELF.

IT WAS SPECTACULAR, CHUCK. CONGRATULATIONS.

BEAUTIFUL. YOU'RE A VERY SWEET GUY.

>> Terry: MEL B? >> Mel B: WHERE WAS MY INVITE,

SOFIA? >> Sofia: THEY INVITED ME.

>> Mel B: IT'S ABOUT YOU. CAN I JUST SAY I LOVE YOUR

VOICE. I CAN SEE HOW NERVOUS YOU WERE.

I COULD FEEL YOUR PRESENCE, YOUR HEART AND YOUR SOUL.

FOR ME THAT WAS BRILLIANT. IT WAS FLAWLESS.

I ADORE YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: I THINK YOU ARE REALLY

GOOD. YOU GOT THE WHOLE PACKAGE.

YOU HAVE A GOOD LOOK. AS I SAID AT THE AUDITION, YOU

HAVE A GREAT VIBE. I JUST WANTED -- MAYBE IT WAS

THE CHOICE OF THE SONG. I WANT MORE EXCITEMENT.

YOU NEED MORE EXCITEMENT TO BE THE ONE AMERICA VOTES FOR.

I'M SURE THEY'LL LOVE YOU. YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE SCREEN.

YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE. >> Terry: SIMON?

>> Simon: ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I ACTUALLY LIKED THE SONG

CHOICE A LOT. >> Mel B: I LOVED IT.

>> Simon: I DO. AND I REALLY LIKE AND RESPECT

YOU BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HAD -- YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID

IN YOUR STORY, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT DROPPED, BUT YOU GOT BACK ON

YOUR FEET. YOU'VE DONE THE GIGS.

YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE. I COULD TELL TONIGHT YOU WERE

NERVOUS. I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST HOPE ACTUALLY, REALLY, REALLY HOPE THAT AMERICA GIVES

YOU ANOTHER SHOT. I REALLY DO.

YOU DESERVE IT. >> Terry: NOW, CHUCK, I FELT

EVERY WORD THAT YOU WERE SINGING.

WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND WHILE YOU WERE PERFORMING?

>> MY FAMILY'S HERE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> YOU KNOW, I WANTED THE WORLD TO FEEL ABOUT THE SONG HOW I

FEEL ABOUT THE SONG. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK, CHUCK.

VOTES IN. IT'S WHAT CHUCK AND CHUCK'S MOM

WANT YOU TO DO. AFTER THE BREAK, THESE

SIMON SAID, YES, YES, YES -- NINE TIMES.

FRIENDS AND WE LOVE TO DANCE. >> BACK THEN WE WERE PERFORMING

FOR A GOLDEN BUZZER, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE RIGHT NOW.

>> TO BE UP THERE ON THAT STAGE WITH MY SISTERS, WE COULDN'T

IT WAS LIKE, OH, IT PAID OFF, Y'ALL.

YES. SOFIA?

>> Sofia: YOU GUYS LOOK BEAUTIFUL UP THERE.

YOUR VOICES WERE BEAUTIFUL. THE ENERGY, THE HARD WORK.

I DID LOVE A LITTLE MORE THE AUDITION.

I DON'T KNOW WHY. IT FELT MORE ORGANIC, MORE YOU,

BUT I THINK YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: MEL B?

>> Mel B: YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU LADIES.

ONE OF THE STRONGEST THING YOU HAVE GOING FOR YOU IS WHEN YOU

HARMONIZE, IT BLENDS LIKE MAGIC. I DIDN'T HEAR ENOUGH OF YOUR

HARMONIES TONIGHT. YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN THAT BEAT

OUT SO WE COULD JUST HEAR YOUR VOICES.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT FROM YOU LADIES.

BY THE WAY, I WANT TO LEARN THAT DANCE BECAUSE I LIKE IT.

I THOUGHT YOU DID GOOD. I HOPE AMERICA VOTES FOR YOU.

I KNOW YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH MORE TO GIVE.

I KNOW YOU DO. >> THANK YOU.

>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH

WHAT EVERYBODY'S SAYING EXCEPT, AGAIN, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE

THE GOLDEN BUZZER RESPONSIBILITY TONIGHT THAT I WANT TO SEE

SOMEBODY STEP IT UP. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

>> Howie: I WANT TO SEE AN ACT THAT CAN WIN.

I THOUGHT YOUR AUDITION WAS BETTER THAN TOONIGHT.

I KNOW IT'S ORIGINAL MUSIC, AND THAT'S AMAZING.

YOU LOOK LIKE STARS. I DON'T THINK YOU STEPPED IT UP.

I THINK YOU AT BEST STAYED EVEN. YOU'RE LUCKY AMERICA'S GOING TO

VOTE. >> Terry: SIMON?

>> Simon: WELL, I THINK YOU HAVE A STAR GLOW ABOUT YOU.

I DO. I REALLY DO.

IF WE WERE LISTENING TO THIS IN HE R

REHEARSALS, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY SAID I DON'T THINK THE

TRACK ITSELF WAS WORKING. I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DROPPED

THE TRACK OUT IN THE MIDDLE. >> Mel B: THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

>> Simon: I'M SAYING IT BETTER. >> Mel B: I SAID IT FIRST.

>> Simon: THEN WE COULD HAVE HEARD YOUR VOCALS.

WE'VE SEEN ACTS TONIGHT THAT HAVEN'T QUITE TOPPED THE

AUDITIONS. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

HOWEVER, IF YOU CAME BACK, THERE'S ALWAYS -- IT'S ALL ABOUT

THE SONG. YOU KNOW THAT.

NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. LIKE I SAID, THERE'S SOMETHING

REALLY COOL AND GOOD ABOUT YOU. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

SO I HOPE YOU DO COME BACK, I GENUINELY DO.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Simon: I MEAN THAT.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, LADIES.

OKAY, AMERICA, THIS IS FOR THE LAST THREE SPOTS IN THE

SEMI-FINAL. VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE ACTS ON

COULD GO ANYWHERE. >> Simon: SO HONORED THAT YOU

WOULD COME HERE. IN RET

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *

>> Terry: SOMETIMES IN LIFE IT CAN TAKE A MINUTE FOR YOU TO

FIND YOUR PASSION. THAT'S TRUE FOR THIS HI-TECH

DANCER, BUT AFTER SEEING HIM AT THE AUDITIONS, WE ARE SO HAPPY

HE FOUND HIS CALLING. HERE'S GENDAI.

>> AS A KID, I COULDN'T SIT STILL.

I WAS ALWAYS MOVING AND I DID NOT LIKE HOMEWORK.

ONE DAY I WAS WALKING HOME AND I SAW SOMEONE DANCING OUTSIDE

TRAIN STATION. WHAT?

WHAT IS THIS? IT CHANGED EVERYTHING.

I STARTED DANCING EVERYWHERE, AT SCHOOL AND HOME.

FIRST I DANCED WITH OTHER PEOPLE UNTIL I DISCOVERED LASERS.

PRECISE, MAGICAL. MY DANCE PARTNERS AND MY

INSTRUMENT. >> Simon: OH, WOW.

THE EFFECT WAS INCREDIBLE. IT WAS JUST SO UNEXPECTED.

>> I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE AT LIVE SHOWS.

I'M ALSO FEELING NERVOUS. I'M UP AGAINST BIG DANCE GROUPS

AND I MUST CREATE SOMETHING AS EXCITING WITH ONLY MYSELF AND MY

LASERS. SO I'M WORKING HARD TO CREATE

SOMETHING NEW TO DAZZLE THE JUDGES AND AMERICA.

>> Terry: GENDAI. MEL B?

>> HI, MEL B. REMEMBER ME?

>> Mel B: I DO REMEMBER YOU. LAST TIME I WAS A BIT CONFUSED.

THIS TIME YOU MADE IT CLEAR WHAT WAS GOING ON.

FROM A VISUAL POINT OF VIEW, YOU KNOW, I THINK VISUALLY IT WILL

LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND IT DID LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW FAR IT COULD BE BIGGER AND BETTER IF

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

BUT IT WAS STILL GOOD. THEY ENJOYED IT.

THEY REALLY ENJOYED IT. >> Terry: SOFIA?

>> Sofia: WELL, I THINK IT'S A GREAT CONCEPT.

IT WAS SUPER ENTERTAINING. I LIKED IT MORE --

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> Sofia: I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ENJOY.

I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD WATCH AN HOUR OR TWO HOURS OF THIS SHOW,

BUT THE PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

>> Terry: HOWIE, HOW DO YOU FEEL?

>> Howie: ME? >> Simon: YOU'RE HOWIE.

>> Howie: I LOVE WHAT YOU DO. I LOVED YOUR AUDITION.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS A STEP UP FROM WHAT YOU DID.

[AUDIENCE BOOS] YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T KNOW IF

THAT WAS A WINNING PERFORMANCE, THOUGH, I THINK IT WAS GREAT.

I THINK YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE. AMERICA'S GOING TO VOTE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: SIMON?

>> Simon: WELL, AS HOWIE SAID, IT'S NOT DOWN TO US.

IT'S DOWN TO AMERICA. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

HOWEVER, IF IT WAS ME, I'LL TELL YOU HOW I FELT.

YOU WERE VERY MYSTERIOUS AND COOL WHEN WE FIRST SAW YOU.

TONIGHT IT WAS GIMMICKY AND THE TRACK WAS HORRIBLE.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THE SONG AT

ALL. I WAS PRAYING IT WAS GOING TO

CHANGE AND IT DIDN'T. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

I'M FRUSTRATED. >> Howie: BUT IT'S UP TO

AMERICA. >> Simon: THAT'S MY OPINION.

LOOK, WE'RE NOT VOTING. HOWEVER, IT'S HOW I FELT.

>> Terry: GENDAI, YOUR TECHNOLOGY IS FLAWLESS.

HOW MANY HOURS DID YOU SPEND ON THIS PERFORMANCE?

>> SO MANY, SO MANY HOURS. I DIDN'T SLEEP.

I HAVEN'T SLEPT. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

GENDAI. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR

ALL OF THE ACTS ON EACH PLATFORM.

SO GO GET BUSY. COMING UP --

THESE DANCERS HAVE COME FROM ACROSS THE WORLD TO BLOW YOUR

MINDS.

ACROSS THE WORLD TO BLOW YOUR

MINDS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

TENSION, ANXIETY, NERVES, AND JOY, BE HERE FOR THE RESULTS

SHOW TOMORROW. YOUR VOTES WILL PUT THREE ACTS

INTO NEXT WEEK'S SEMI-FINAL. WHO'S TAKING A STEP CLOSER TO

THEIR DREAM? WE WILL FIND OUT.

AND WE'VE GOT ONE OF THE BIGGEST GIRL GROUPS IN THE WORLD COMING

TO "AGT." KOREAN SUPERSTARS, LE SSERAFIM

WILL BE HERE AT 8:00 TOMORROW NIGHT.

OKAY, NEXT TONIGHT, A DANCE CREW WITH A MISSION, TO PROVE THAT

MEL B WAS WRONG TO CALL THEM BORING AT THE AUDITIONS.

CAN THEY STEP IT UP? HERE'S TEAM RECYCLED.

>> WE ARE TEAM -- >> All: RESKICYCLEDRECYCLED!

>> WE ARE A DANCE GROUP BASED IN GERMANY, BUT WE REPRESENT MANY

NATIONS WITHIN THE CREW. DANCING IS OUR PASSIONS, BUT WE

ALL HAVE DAY JOBS. WE'RE FITNESS INSTRUCTORS,

TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND EVEN A LAWYER.

>> WE SOMETIMES GET OVERWHELMED, BUT WE GET TOGETHER AND HAVE FUN

AND DANCE WHICH IS WHAT WE LOVE TO DO.

IT'S THE BEST PART OF THE DAY. >> COMING TO THE AUDITIONS, WE

WERE PREPARED AND CONFIDENT. BUT THEN --

>> Mel B: THE CHOREOGRAPHY FROM THE START WAS SO BORING.

>> IT HURT MY FEELINGS. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND I'M A

HARD CORE MILLENNIAL SO I LOVE THE SPICE GIRLS.

>> Mel B: PROVE ME WRONG. >> WE NEED TO STEP IT UP FROM

THE LAST TIME. WE HAVE TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX.

>> START STRONG, HAVE A BIG IMPACT.

>> WE'RE FOCUSING ON VISUALS. >> IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF

ELEMENTS OF SURPRISE. >> IT WON'T JUST BE A SHOW.

IT WILL BE A WHOLE EXPERIENCE. >> WE'RE GOING TO PUT EVERYTHING

ON THE TABLE WHAT WE HAVE AND WE WANT TO PROVE MEL B WRONG.

>> Mel B: WE ALL HAVE AN OPINION.

>> WE TRULY BELIEVE WE CAN WIN THIS.

THIS DREAM HAS BEEN IN THE MAKINGS FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS.

HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> Howie: ME?

>> Mel B: THAT'S YOUR NAME. >> Howie: ME?

>> Terry: HOWIE, YES, YOU. >> Howie: FOR ME TONIGHT HAS

BEEN DISAPPOINTING. I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ACT THAT

COULD STEP IT UP. I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ACT THAT

COULD WIN THIS WHOLE THING. NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO STEP IT

UP. [ CROWD CHANTING HOWIE ]

>> Howie: I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, CAN THEY DO IT?

THE QUARTER-FINALS. IT'S ONE OF SIMON'S GOLDEN

BUZZERS FROM THE AUDITIONS. SIMON, WHY THIS ACT?

>> Simon: YOU KNOW, YOU PROBABLY GET ASKED THIS QUESTION A LOT

ABOUT WHY DO YOU PRESS A GOLDEN BUZZER.

I THINK THIS ACT IS EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GOLDEN BUZZER IN EVERY

SINGLE WAY GENUINELY. YEAH, SO I'M SUPER, SUPER

EXCITED FOR THEM AND FOR EVERYTHING TONIGHT.

YEAH, I AM. >> Terry: THANK YOU, SIMON.

ALL RIGHT. HERE'S THE LOW DOWN ON THE

BIRMINGHAM YOUTH FELLOWSHIP CHOIR.

>> I STARTED THE BIRMINGHAM YOUTH FELLOWSHIP CHOIR AT THE

HISTORIC 16th STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.

THE WHOLE IDEA WAS TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR YOUTH SO THEY COULD

FEEL SAFE. >> THE CHOIR WAS A REFUGE,

SOMEWHERE TO GO TO. >> TEN YEARS LATER WE'RE STILL

HERE. IF ANYTHING, IT BLOSSOMED INTO

SOMETHING EVEN MORE. >> WHEN WE STARTED SINGING AND

EVERYBODY STOOD UP, I WAS LIKE OH, MY GOD WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING

GOOD. WE DID GOOD.

THAT WAS FUN. >> WE JUST WON A GOLDEN BUZZER.

>> WE ALL TOOK SOME OF THAT CONFETTI HOME.

>> I DIDN'T GET ANY BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY CRYING.

>> THIS CHOIR IS REALLY CHANGING OUR LIVES.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> IT HAS BEEN A MASSIVE

OUTPOURING OF LOVE FROM OUR CITY.

NOW WE'RE BACK AND WE ARE READY. >> YEAH.
