- People were practicing
and dreaming,

and then, boom,
they hit that X.

- About as close to perfection
as you could possibly get.

- It was beautiful.

- It was absolutely
incredible.

- What a message to America,
what a message to the world.

- Everything about that was
really special.

- It was amazing.

like this in my life.

Oh, my God,

[OneRepublic's "Secrets"]

- Welcome to
"America's Got Talent."

How you doing?
What's--what's your name?

- * I need another story *

- Here it is.

- Are you ready, Dad?

- I'm ready.
[laughs]

- Come on.

- Okay, guys, here we go.

Stand by for the top
of the show.

- Okay, here we go.
- Are you ready?

Howie Mandel!

Heidi Klum!

Sofía Vergara!

Simon Cowell!

- * This time *

* Don't need
another perfect lie *

- At a young age, I used to
sneak into the State Theater,

and I knew that when I saw
those curtains open,

that's what I wanted to do
for the rest of my life.

- Growing up,
my parents would be like,

"Yo, you can't watch TV,"
so I would have to find

sneaky ways to watch comedy
every chance I got.

- * I'm gonna give... *

- My parents are both doctors,

so there's a lot of pressure
to become a doctor as well.

But performing
is all I wanted to do.

- * Don't care if critics
ever jump in line *

- Growing up, it was very--
if you're a man, you're man.

Boys don't twirl.

I was always hiding,
but this is my life.

This is what I want to do.

I really just want to be
a twirler full-time,

so that's why I'm here
on this stage,

and I hope that
"America's Got Talent"

can make my dreams come true.

- * All my secrets away *

[cheers and applause]

- Hello, there.
- Hello.

- Aren't you all
pretty and sparkly?

- Well, thank you so much.
- Welcome, who are you?

- My name is Joel Claudio,
better known as a twirl act.

- A twirler.

- Yes.
- Okay.

- Representing baton twirling.

[cheers and applause]

- How old are you?

- [exhales deeply]
I just turned 30 years old.

It's my birthday today.

- Ay, happy birthday.
Feliz cumpleaños.

- Happy birthday.
- Gracias, Sofía, gracias.

- Happy birthday.
- Are you lying?

'Cause that would be
a good ploy on this show.

- No, no, no.
I can go pick up my ID.

I just--
- I wish I had known.

- We believe you.

- I would have brought you
a cake--I love cake.

- What got you into twirling?
Tell us.

- I was born and raised
in Puerto Rico.

- Uh-huh.

- But nowadays,
I live in North Carolina.

Yes.
Boricua.

My sister was a majorette
in a local group,

and I was in the drumline,

but I've always been fascinated
about dancing and performing,

and I don't know why,

from the moment
I saw the metal sticks,

they were like--
that's really cool.

And one day, I picked it up,
and from that moment then,

I've never let them go.
[cheers and applause]

- Why "America's Got Talent"?
Tell us.

- It's been a dream
since I've watched this show.

Seeing the first winner,
Bianca Ryan,

was truly
an amazing experience.

And honestly, I can't sing.

And this is the stage that
gives all these variety acts

the chance to show our talent.

- Yeah.
- And I believe this

is my time to do it.
- Yes!

- Well, thank you so much
for coming.

And good luck.
The stage is yours.

- Thank you so much.
I hope you enjoy.

[cheers and applause]

- I can do that.

- Hmm, I doubt it.

[scattered cheers]

- * Don't stop me now *

* Don't stop me *

* 'Cause I'm having
a good time *

* Having a good time *

* I'm a shooting star leaping
through the sky like a tiger *

* Defying the laws of gravity *

* I'm a racing car passing by
like Lady Godiva *

* I'm gonna go, go, go,
there's no stopping me *

* I'm burning through the sky,
yeah *

* Two hundred degrees *

* That's why they call me
Mister Fahrenheit *

* I'm traveling
at the speed of light *

* I want to make a supersonic
man out of you *

[Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now"
playing]

* Don't stop me, don't stop me,
don't stop me *

* Hey, hey, hey *

* Don't stop me,
don't stop me *

* Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I like it *

* Don't stop me
have a good time, good time *

* Don't stop me, don't stop me,
have a good time, good time *

* Don't stop me,
don't stop me *

* Oh *

* Let loose, honey, all right *

- Yeah!
- [laughs]

- Oh!

- Did he just
change his outfit?

- Changed his outfit.

* *

[cheers and applause]

- * Oh, I'm burning
through the sky, yeah *

- Bravo!

- * Two hundred degrees *

* That's why they call me
Mister Fahrenheit *

* Traveling at the speed
of light *

* I want to make a supersonic
man out of you *

* I don't want to stop at all *

- Aah!
- Aah!

- Yeah!
That was fabulous!

- Bravo!
Bravo!

- * Ah, da, da, ah, ah *

- Oh, my God.

- Did you just
change your shirt?

- Yes!
You just noticed that now?

- You didn't see him?

- You just noticed this now?

- I did.
I was watching the twirling.

- Oh, my God.
- Amazing!

- He literally just noticed
when you finished--he's like,

"Did he change his top?"

- [laughs] It's magic.
- But, you know--

but I feel like you
could expand on this.

You should keep changing
outfits while you're twirling.

- I'll work on it.

- Because we were both
like--I mean,

you give us an outfit change,
and we're obsessed.

- He's, like,
Mr. Show Business.

- Yes.
- I want to do it all.

I want to work everywhere.

- You managed to raise
your stick higher

than anyone on the "AGT" stage.

- That's why I was
behind the X,

'cause I was afraid
I was gonna hit the--

- Never, ever, ever,
ever seen it go higher.

I mean, it was stunning.

- Fabulous.

- On top of this,

you have this
fantastic personality.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

- Really optimistic.

You can just tell
you're a great person.

And that was a great audition.

- Thank you so much.
- Amazing.

- Sofía.

- I mean, who would think
watching someone twirl,

you could feel
all those emotions.

We were excited.
We were happy.

- Yeah.
- I was nervous...

- Right.
- He was gonna drop this thing.

He did it all with the face
of passion and happiness.

I loved it.

- This is a dream.
Thank you, Sofía.

- Howie.
- It's just fun.

You know, that song was good,

and you're, like,
a one-man parade.

- Yeah.
- And--you really are.

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

- And who doesn't love
a parade?

You don't need the floats.
- I love them.

- You don't need
the marching band.

You show up,
and nobody's gonna rain on you.

- Amen, thank you.
- So let's vote.

I'm gonna kick it off
with your first yes--Howie?

- Yes.
- Thank you, thank you.

- Sofía.
- Yes.

- Simon.
- Four yeses.

- Four yeses!

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.

- You have the best smile.
- Yeah, he's great.

- Bye!

- Yo, yo!
Happy birthday!

- Feel like he should be
constantly changing,

different pants.
- I'm just so excited.

I just can't even express
right now how excited I am.

And it's my birthday.

- * Bring me love *

- * Bring me a higher love *

- * Bring me, bring me, yeah *

* A higher love *

* I keep thinking of *

- Coming up...

[dramatic music]

- Whoa!
- Don't move, Howie.

- I love what you stand for.

- Whoa!
- Aah!

- We're not going
to give you a yes.

- * Nothing left *
- I really had chills.

- We've never seen anything
like this before.

- [imitates kicking in door]
Y'all not gonna believe this!

- [laughs]

- She's my human target.

- Human target?

- Oh!
Oh!

- Look where I'm at.
Look what I'm doing.

- I do social media,
as I think every teenager does.

- I'll never forget it.

On March 1st,
I posted my first video.

- The video went viral.

- Millions and millions
and millions of views online.

- It changed my life.

- They commented
on all my stuff.

Like, they're so happy for me.

- I look at those comments
and, "You're amazing.

You're beautiful.
You can sing."

- "Your vibrato sounds
like a goat."

Yeah.
That's an actual comment.

"Eww, you don't
wear any makeup."

"You have a lisp."
"You have a crooked tooth."

"You look awful.
You have acne."

I mean, I could go on.

- * Snakes and stones
never broke my bones *

- What are you gonna be
doing here on "AGT"?

- I am going to be singing
a song that I wrote

using only hate comments
from my YouTube channel.

- [chuckles]
This is amazing.

- I grew up with music
all around me in my childhood.

My dad played guitar.

When I was eight years old,

my dad actually sat me down and
taught me how to write a song.

So I'm about to go out
onstage. Wish me luck.

- My social media today
is killer.

You know how
you get bad comments.

You've turned off
the comments on yours?

- Yeah, I turned it off.
I don't want to give a platform

where people fight.

- I wanted so much to put
a nice comment.

- Yeah, but you know
my--my number.

You just call me directly.

[cheers and applause]

- * You need to just stop *

* Can you stop? *

- Hi.

- * Not step on our gowns? *

* You need to calm down *

- What's your name?

- My name is Madilyn Bailey.

I am originally from Wisconsin,

born and raised
in a very tiny town

where there were more cows
than human beings.

[laughter]

- So why "AGT"?
- I mean, the dream for me

is to sing songs
that I've written, that I love,

get it out to as many people
in the world as possible, yeah.

- So what are you gonna do
for us tonight?

What is this song tonight?

- Yeah, with posted content
on the Internet,

inevitably comes the trolls.

And so I thought I would take
the hate comments

from my YouTube videos
and turn them into a song.

- That's a good idea.
- Wow.

- Thank you.

- So tonight you're gonna take
ugliness and make it beautiful.

Can't wait to hear the song.

- Thank you.
- Go ahead.

[cheers and applause]

[rock music playing]

* *

- * My mom thinks you just
got killed by a cat *

* They hauled this song away
in a body bag *

* Ear murder *

* Eat a burger *

* Why do you make
every song sad? *

* Her sound is so trash,
her voice is very bad *

* Bad, very, very bad *

* Very, very, very,
very, very bad *

* I would feel bad
for my neighbors *

* If I did this to them *

* You can't sing *

* She's so overrated *

* Am I the only one
who really hates her? *

* I don't understand the hype *

* I'm sorry,
I just unsubscribed *

* You make
the worst covers ever *

* Song-destroying machine *

* I'd like to hear her singing
in front of me *

* I know it'd be lame *

* Totally lame *

* If you're looking
for advice *

* Even though you suck
at singing *

* Don't try so hard *

* Leave Earth, just stop,
quit YouTube *

* Oh *

* *

* She's so overrated *

* The way she sings
this song is exaggerated *

* I don't understand the hype *

* I'm sorry,
I just unsubscribed *

* She's so overrated *

* I used to love this song,
but now I hate it *

* This song makes me
want to die *

* I'm sorry,
I just unsubscribed *

* Why, oh, why?
Oh, why? *

* Oh, why, oh, why, oh, why? *

* Oh why, oh, why
does anybody like this? *

* Don't confuse this comment
for hate *

* But that said,
this sucks big sweaty *

* With a side of nachos *

[wild cheering]

[mellow music]

* *

- Well done.

- Well, first of all, this is
what people are talking about.

This is current.

And I don't care
if you have four followers

or you have
4 million followers,

everybody gets those
means tweets.

I love what you stand for,
and you're a good singer.

You're really good.

What'd you think, Heidi?

- Hmm.
- Really?

[audience groans]

- It's, like, I'm--I'm torn,
you know? It was so-so.

It wasn't, like, making me
jump out of my seat.

It was good.

- Okay. Sofía.

- I love that it was
so unexpected.

I love when--when
I'm waiting for something,

and it's completely different.

The way you presented
yourself was so honest.

I mean, I can't wait to see

what the future's
gonna bring for you.

- Thank you.

- I never, ever, ever
read this rubbish, okay?

That's a discussion
for somewhere else.

I just like hearing
someone like you,

who's got a great talent.

And, Madilyn,
you have a great talent.

- Thank you.

- * Broke my bones, so oh-oh *

- Should we vote?
- Yeah.

- It's a yes from me.

Simon?
- Yes.

- Two yeses.
Heidi?

A second before you walked out,
what discussion were we having?

You turned off the comments
on your social media...

- Yes, yes.

- Because you don't like
being trolled, you don't like--

- No, I don't like to have
a platform

where people are constantly
fighting, and I feel like--

- No, but--and then
she walks out? That's kismet.

[crowd chanting]

- Okay.
I want to give you a shot,

so I'm gonna give you a yes.

- Sofía.
- Yes.

- You got four yeses.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- * You're being too loud,
being too loud *

* And I'm just like oh-oh *

- I think she's great.

- * Oh-oh,
oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh *

* You need to calm down *

- * Used to keep it cool,
used to be a fool

* All about the bounce
in my step *

- Absolutely fantastic.

- This dance routine will be
a viral moment from "AGT."

- * Way up, way up we go *

- The dream is to
inspire performers

as the past performers
on seasons

of "AGT" inspired me.

- * We gon' burn
the whole house down *

- I began to watch
"America's Got Talent,"

and I said, "If this person can
do it at this age, why not me?"

- Choose the right song,
you make it your version,

you have a viral hit.

That's what gets you
on your way.

- Growing up watching "AGT"
and looking up

to Grace VanderWaal,
this is what we want to do,

and we're here to show people
what we've got.

- * We gon' burn
the whole house down *

- We are...
all: Chapkidz.

- * Yeah, used to let it go,
walk into the show *

- Chapkidz is a group
of 30 dancers

that started in 2017
at the Studio Chapkis Dance.

- * Room full of entertainers
and thieves *

- Chapkis Dance Family
came to compete here.

We were all babies,
so we were watching them

from the sidelines.

We were their tiny
cheering squad.

- Definitely been a dream
of mine to be on "AGT"

since I was about 12 years old.
- I was, like, nine.

- 7.
- 12.

- It was so cool
for Chapkis Dance Family

to make it all the way
to the live shows,

but it's kind of our goal
to make it even further.

- And be number one.
- Yep.

- It's time for you
to step out there.

Are you ready?
all: Yeah!

- Well, "America's Got Talent"
is ready for you guys.

Go on out there.

[all cheer]

- * We gon' burn
the whole house down *

[AJR's "Burn the House Down"]

- Hi, everyone.

all: Hi.

- Yes.
- Wow.

- Okay. So what's the name
of the group, please?

- Our name is Chapkidz.

- Chapkidz.
- Yes.

- Love that.

So give me the story
of how all this happened.

- It started with
Chapkis Dance Family,

who came on in season ten,

and we just really
looked up to them,

'cause we were, like,
the younger generation,

and now we really want to
make our own legacy.

- And the age range here,
please?

- We're 12 to 18.

- Okay.
- So we're kind of young.

- Okay, who is one dance act
who you've all looked up to?

- We've definitely looked up
to the Jabbawockeez.

And they've really been
doing it with their crew.

- Amazing, yeah, yep.
- Yeah.

- What would you do
with the $1 million?

- So our coach says he's gonna
take us to Universal Studios.

- Love that place.
- Wow!

[laughter]

- So that's it?
A trip to Universal?

- That's it.
- Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

- Okeydokey.

Two minutes
can change your lives.

So let's do it.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- They're ready to rumble.

- [singing in Spanish]

* *

* *

[lively music playing]

* *

- They're good.
- Very good.

- [singing in Spanish]

* *

- Yeah!

* *

[wild cheering]

[hopeful music]

- Yes!
Standing O!

* *

That was phenomenal.

- Well done, great.
Sofía?

- I thought you guys
were having a great time.

And actually, I didn't know
where to look,

because each of you
were so good

that I would just start
looking at one,

and they're like, "No, no,
you have to look at everybody."

So it was really fun.
And I loved the music.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

- I agree.
- Yeah.

- Heidi?
- Yeah, I love the costumes.

I love the routine.
Very good.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

- Howie?

- You showed up for an audition
like you were already

in a semifinal or final.

It was a really slick,
professional audition.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

- There's no question this is

one of the best dance acts
we've had all season.

- Yeah.
- I mean, genuinely.

It's true.

You know, we always
look for originality.

And people are gonna remember
this audition,

and that's a big,
big part of doing well.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Love it.
I love it.

- You think you could win this,
don't you?

all: Yes.

- Yeah, I get that feeling.
I love that.

Now, the moment
you're waiting for.

Let's start with Howie.

- Yes.
- Heidi?

- Yes.
- Sofía?

- Yes.

[all cheer]

- You have...

four yeses.

[all screaming]

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you so much.

- Great.

- Come on in here, Chapkidz.
You guys were so good!

- I always love it
with a big act, you know,

when you've got
that level of energy.

all: Chapkidz! Chapkidz!
Chapkidz! Chapkidz! Chapkidz!

Chapkidz!

your best shot.

for 15 years.

- Right.

- But I've been trying
to make it as a performer.

- Oh.
- Oh, really?

- Yeah.
- And why "AGT"?

- Last August,
I was with my parents.

They were watching the finale,
and I just said,

"You know what?
I need to be there."

And they were
totally supportive, and so...

- You were watching
the finale...

- Watching the finale.

- And you said you needed
to be there.

So you think what we're
about to see is enough

to get you to the finale.

- Let's hope.
Let's hope.

- I cannot wait to see
what you do.

- I'll be right back.

- Okay.

- Okay.

What is he grabbing?
He's going to grab something.

I mean, I wouldn't, but...

Didn't love it.

- Okay.
- I loved it.

* When I won't think of you *

- [laughs]
- Whoo!

* *

- * Flowers fade,
the fruits of summer fade *

* They have their season,
so do we *

* But please promise me *

* That sometimes *

* You will think... *

[vocalizing]

* *

* Of... *

- Whoa!

- * Me *

- Yeah!

- [yells]

- Yes!
- Whoa!

- Yes!

[wild cheering]

- [laughs]

- Thank you.

- Well, well, well,
we were not expecting that.

- No, we were not.

- Sofía, what did you think
of that?

- You know that
I love surprises,

and that was, like,
super unexpected.

I was, like, asking, "Simon,
Simon, how can he do that?"

I thought it was
really different.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Heidi?

- It's very unusual to have
this voice coming out of you.

I love Broadway, too,
so I loved it.

- Thank you so much.
- Howie?

- Wow, that was
certainly a surprise.

- Yeah.
- Your smile--

- No, I was smiling.
- Thank you.

- I was surprised.
I was entertained. I loved it.

- I think this is really cool.
- Yeah.

- And I think if someone
was smart,

they would put you
in the right part,

in the right musical,
doing what you do best,

because you have
an amazing voice.

- Thank you very much.
- Yeah, really good.

- Yeah.
- You definitely did the right

thing coming on here,
I think, Donovan.

- Sweet.
- And I like you.

I'm gonna kick this off
with a yes.

- Thank you.
- Sofía?

- Yes.
- Heidi?

- I think you're very,
very special--it's a yes.

- Thank you so much.

- * Yes *
- Aah!

- I'm feeling a duet.

- Good luck.
- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- That was quite a surprise.
I loved it.

- Yeah, I loved it, too.

- That is one
of the most rarest thing

I've ever seen
in my entire life.

It's absolutely unbelievable,
and you deserve

all the great things that
are coming to you, Donovan.

- Thank you so much, Terry.
- Aww, you got it, thank you.

Celebrate, my man!
- Thank you so much.

- Wow.
- And what's your name?

- I am The Stunner.

- Okay, go ahead and stun.
Good luck.

- * It's tricky
to rock a rhyme *

* To rock a rhyme that's
right on time, it's tricky *

* It's tricky, tricky,
tricky, tricky *

- Oh!

- * It's tricky
to rock a rhyme *

* To rock a rhyme
that's right on time *

* It's tricky *

* Tr-tr-tr-tricky,
tricky, tricky *

* I met this little girlie,
her hair was kind of curly *

* Went to her house
and bust her out *

[buzzer]

[crowd groans]

- Well, it was dreadful.

- Aww.
- No!

I thought that's super amazing

because
that's super hard to do.

- Yeah, stunning.
It was stunning.

- It wasn't stunning.

- What?
- It was breakdancing.

There was nothing
original about it.

- Are you kidding me?

- Anyway, we're gonna have
to vote--Howie, yes or no?

- No.
- Heidi?

- Yes.
- Sofía?

- Yes.
- It's a no.

Thank you very much.

- Aww.
Bye, Stunner.

- Thank you.

- I'm stunned that you
liked it so much.

- But that's, like, a very
difficult way of dancing.

- In 1986.

Whoa.

Look at that.

- Hello.
- Hello.

What is your name, sir?

- Alex Ostrovskiy.
- Okay.

Are you here
to win the $1 million?

- Yes, yes, I believe that
I will win million dollars.

- Okay, good.

I'm not gonna ask you
anything else.

I don't know what you're
gonna do, but good luck.

- Thank you.
Thank you.

- He has very small wings.

- That's the way he rolls.

- [laughs]

Thanks, Howie.

- * I believe the children
are our future *

* Teach them well
and let them lead the way *

* Show them all the beauty
they possess inside *

- [playing trumpet with song]

* *

- His wings are flapping.

- * I decided long ago *

* Never to walk
in anyone's shadows *

* If I fail, if I succeed *

* At least I'll live
as I believe *

- Whoa.

- * What they take from me *

- Oh!

- * They can't take away
my dignity *

* Because the greatest love
of all *

* Is happening to me *

- Oh, they're beautiful!

- He has an idea.

- This is so fantastic.

- * It is the greatest
love of all *

- [playing both trumpets
at once]

[crowd booing]

- * Leads you
to a lonely place *

* Find your strength in love *

[buzzer]

* *

[buzzer]

- What?

- Beautiful.

[crowd cheering, booing]

- Bit of a mixed reaction here.

- He was so off
on the sound, too.

- It doesn't matter.

Oh, my--look, it's gorgeous.

- Standing O from Simon Cowell.

[cheers and applause]

- Come on.

[louder cheers and applause]

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable you actually
got two Xs.

[crowd jeering]

I mean, seriously?

- I mean, did you hear
the sound of the trumpet?

- I was distracted
by the flying trumpets.

[cheers and applause]

- I mean, don't take it
personally.

I mean, you're adorable,
and I love you on this thing.

But you've seen it once,
you don't need to see it again.

- Well, I disagree.
I completely disagree.

We've never seen anything
like this before.

We shouldn't give him
a second shot?

- No.

- I'm with you, Simon.

This is the year of uniqueness.

I just think
you're just fun to watch.

- [chuckles]
Thank you, thank you.

- Okay, Howie, yes or no?

- You know,
I'm with you, buddy.

Yes.
- Thank you.

- Heidi?

- It's a no from me.
I'm sorry.

- It's 100% yes from me.

Two yeses.

- You only need one more yes.
- Sofía?

[cheers and applause]

[crowd chanting]

- I--you know--

- I have a lot of more tricks
with trumpet.

crowd: Put him through!
Put him through!

Put him through!

Put him through!
Put him through!

- I mean, come on.
It's incredible.

crowd: Put him through!
Put him through!

- No.
For now.

[crowd groans]

- Seriously?

- Oh, my God.

- Sorry.
- Thank you, though.

- Thank you.

Bye.

- * I'm flying without wings *

- You said no to an angel
with flying trumpets.

- * I'm flying without wings *

- So far, there have been lots

of heart-pounding
performances.

- Amazing.
- Aah!

- Whoa!
- Aah! That was spectacular.

- Four yeses.

- And there are still more
thrilling acts to come.

- Y'all not gonna believe this.

- She's your human target?
Whoa!

- So crazy.
But I still loved it.

- Me encantan los charros!

- So graceful,
the way you do this.

Lightning speed.

- We're gonna do something
we've never done before.

[upbeat music]

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

- High five.
- High five.

- Boop!
- Yeah.

- You're an excellent singer.

It's gonna be a lot of fun.

- We know what's at stake.
We know we can do it.

- It's our only chance to show
what we can do.

- Just get out there
and live your dream.

- If you really suck,
they won't vote for you.

- The best advice
is don't suck.

- Yeah.
- Good luck.

- Good luck?
Did you just say "good luck"?

Aww, thank you.

Mwah.

[applause]

- Hello, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Use your mic.
- Check one, two.

Oh, there it is, okay.

- Okay.
And what's your name, please?

- My name is Matt Mauser.
- Where are you from, Matt?

- I'm from Huntington Beach,
California.

- How old are you?
- I'm 51.

- You look good.
- Hey.

- Great.
- I appreciate it, thank you.

- Okay, Matt, so why "AGT"?
What are you gonna do today?

- I'm a singer.

And I'm here
because my wife and I,

we were both schoolteachers,

and we retired from teaching

so that I could do
the music full-time.

And she got the opportunity

to coach girls' basketball
with Kobe Bryant.

- Wow.

- But on...

on January 26th of 2020,

I lost my wife...
- Oh, no.

- In the same helicopter crash
that killed Kobe Bryant.

- Oh, no.
- Aww.

- Wow, I'm so sorry.

- Before January 26th,
me and Christina

lived this dreamy
kind of life.

We met in 2004.

She came and saw me playing
at this dive bar,

and I asked her out,
and we sat in my car,

and we talked about music.

- Would you say she was
your greatest supporter?

- Oh, yeah.

She was just this very humble,
powerful,

beautiful human being.

My mom said,
"If you don't marry that girl,

you're--you're stupid."
[laughs]

We were married for 15 years.

We had three
beautiful children.

It was filled with love.

When she left that day,
she kissed me,

and she said, "I love you."

And that was the last thing
my wife ever said to me.

[sniffles]

Your whole life changes
in a second.

There was pain.

[sniffles]

My focus immediately
went to my children.

[delicate music]

You start to say, "All right,

she would want me
to carry on."

- A rainbow car.
- Yeah.

She would want our kids
to have happy lives,

which I don't know
it's possible...

but I'm--I'm gonna try.

* *

You know, if I had it my way,
I would have my wife,

and I would be supporting her.

But that's--
that's not what happened.

You know,
it's been a rough year.

- Yeah.
- But...

here I am.

- Good for you.

[cheers and applause]

And your kids.
Are they here?

- Yeah, they're right here.

- Hello.
- Hi, everyone.

- Hello.

[cheers and applause]

- Okay, well, I'm not gonna
ask anything else, Matt.

All I can say is best of luck.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- I want him to be great.

- I do, too.
- That's unbelievable.

- [whispering] I can't wait
to hear Dad sing.

[Phil Collins'
"Against All Odds" playing]

- * How can I just let you
walk away? *

* Let you leave
without a trace *

* When I stand here taking
every breath for you *

* Mm *

* You're the only one
who really knew me at all *

* So take a look at me now *

* *

* There's just this
empty space *

* There's nothing left here
to remind me *

* Just the memory
of your face *

* Take a look at me now *

* *

* I'll still be standing here *

* And you coming back to me
is against all odds *

* And that's what
I've got to face *

* There's so much
I need to say to you *

* So many reasons why *

* You're the only one *

* Who really knew me at all *

* Just take a look at me now *

* 'Cause there's just
this empty space *

* There's nothing left here
to remind me *

* Just the memory
of your face *

* Take a look at me now *

* 'Cause I'll still be
standing here *

* And you coming back to me
is against all odds *

* And that's what
I've got to face *

* Take a look at me now *

* *

* Take a look at me *

[sighs]

[wild cheering]

[melancholy music]

* *

- Oh, my God.

[cheers and applause]

Um...

we felt your emotion,

and regardless of what anybody
does on that stage,

if you're able
to move strangers

and move--and we can feel it
in our hearts--

and I'm not only speaking
about everybody at this table,

but everybody at home
that heard that--

I mean, I don't--there aren't
words to describe it.

- I don't know, there was just
a different kind of vibe

in your voice,
and when you were singing it,

it definitely--
it went inside of me.

You know?
It was beautiful. It was sad.

And as a man, as a strong man
standing there,

it--I don't know,
it was very special.

[cheers and applause]

- It was very emotional,
very touching.

Thank you.
Thank you for being here.

- Thank you.
Thank you.

[applause]

- Matt, sir,
let me ask you a question.

So what would you like
to happen

if you did well on this show?

* *

- I would like to...

That's a good question.
I haven't gotten that far.

[chuckles]

I would like to make sure
that my children see that,

in spite of the grief
that we've been through

this year and--that
that grief is not gonna define

who we are as a family

and that my children see that
you have to find joy in life

and you have to continue.

And if this can any way help my
children to chase their dreams,

then I'll take it.

- * If I knew *

* It would be the last time *

- Well, you know something,
your wife is always here,

and that is her legacy.

You are her legacy.
This moment is her legacy.

And on behalf of your wife
and everybody in America,

I'd like to give you
your first yes.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Heidi?

- It's a definite yes for me.

- Thank you.

- Sofía?

- Yes.

- You know what, Matt?
This I am 100% certain.

The audience, along with me,

want to give you
your fourth yes.

Well done.

- * Don't want to give
my heart away *

* To another stranger *

* *

* Or let another day begin *

* Won't even let
the sunlight in *

* No, I'll never love again *

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- I just want to tell you,

you guys have the best example
of courage I have ever seen.

* *

- When I was
out there tonight,

I was singing to her.

And I wanted to make her proud,
so that's--I think I did that.

- * Never love again *

- I felt her in my heart,
which was--it was nice.

I felt her.
[sniffles]

We did it.

Thank goodness, we did it.
Let's go get some ice cream.

- * When we first met *

- Coming up...

- Whoa!

- You don't just get
to go, "No!"

- She started to be
my human target at 13.

[dramatic music]

- She's dead
if this goes wrong.

- Aah!

[electric humming]

- Take your seats, please.
Here we go.

[cheers and applause]

- Ooh.
- Oh, that's scary.

Who are you?

- [muffled] I'm Chief.
- What?

- Come again?
- Chief.

- Hi, Chief.
You can call me Boss Lady.

[laughter]

Where are you from, Chief?
How old are you?

And what are you about to do?

- From here, there, everywhere.

I'm in my early 20s.
And I'm a comedian.

- What did he say?
- A comedian.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- This is actually the first
time I've ever performed.

I've never performed
in my life before.

- Oh, wow.
- Oh.

This is your first time
onstage?

- This is my first time.

You guys are
my first audience ever, so...

- You do have to be careful,
though,

with the mic,
that it's not too muffled.

- Yeah, we can't--we can't
understand that much, yeah.

- Thank you.
- Good luck.

- Are you guys ready
for the Chief?

Yes!
Good luck.

- You go, Chief.

- Okay.

[cheers and applause]

So I'm single.

I haven't met the girl
of my dreams yet.

Mostly because I have
a sleep disorder,

but that's not important.

I actually went
on a date recently.

It went really well.
I gave her my phone number.

And I said, "Hey, text me
when you get home."

I'm pretty sure she's homeless,

because I never heard
from her again.

- I didn't-I didn't
hear what he--

- Yeah.
- That's what the thing is.

We can't hear
that you're saying.

- Honestly, I'm not sure
why I'm single.

- I can't hear him.
I can't hear you.

- That I personally think
I make a good boyfriend.

[buzzer]

- Thank you so much.
- He wasn't finished yet.

- He's not finished.
- Oh.

I don't know, because I can't
understand anything

he's saying,
so I thought he was done.

From here, what we here is...
[speaking gibberish].

- Can you hear me
better down here?

- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.

Cheers.

- We were cheering for you.
But we just couldn't hear you.

- Honestly, I'm not sure
why I'm single.

[indistinct muffled speech]

- I thought he said,
"Thank you very much."

- He didn't.
- I couldn't hear.

- He said, "I'm in the middle
of my act now," and you went,

"Thank you very much."
- I know, but--

- I actually don't
think it matters.

- * Say that again *

[cheers and applause]

- Welcome to
"America's Got Talent."

And who are you?
- My name's Cam Bertrand.

I'm a stand-up comedian
from Tampa, Florida.

- Ooh, Florida.

- All right.

But you don't sound like
you're from Tampa, Florida.

- My accent's
all over the place.

Through the set,
you'll hear it fluctuate.

It's weird.
Public school and--

I don't know, I'm weird.
[chuckles]

- Welcome to the club.
- Yeah, we did it!

- So you said
you're a stand-up comedian.

- Yes, I am.
- Yes.

- I've been doing stand-up
for about eight years now.

- And how did you
get into that?

- When I was a kid,
I would stay up

far past my bedtime,

and I would watch more comedy
than a kid probably should.

It's actually how
I first saw Howie, yeah.

- Oh, so that was a long,
long time ago.

[laughter]

- Cam, good luck to you.
- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

I actually just turned 27.

I celebrated my birthday
a couple weeks ago.

Yeah, it's weird turning 27,

'cause I feel like I'm getting
older, but my face isn't.

Yeah, it's strange.

Like, it's tough having
a baby face, you know,

'cause, like, all I wanted
to do for my birthday

was to celebrate by getting
a nice bottle of wine,

you know, like an adult.

But when I went to the store,
I picked out the bottle

I wanted,
I went to the counter,

I put it on the counter
as you do for purchases, right?

And the lady looked at me,
she looked at the bottle,

she looked back at me,
and she went,

"Ha!
No, mm-mm."

That was it.

That was the whole transaction.
That's not protocol.

You don't just get to go, "No!"

Right?
I was upset.

I wasn't mad that she thought
I was underaged.

I get it.
I look 17 at best.

I wasn't mad she thought
I was young.

But I was upset
that she thought

an underaged person
would be buying wine.

[laughter]

Right?

[Howie guffaws]

Like, I just--
I don't understand.

In what world do you
live in, Rebecca,

where some 17-year-old dude

is showing up to this house
party, like...

[imitates kicking in door]

"Y'all not gonna believe this.

"I got Pinot Grigio!

Yeah, got that Grigio!"

[laughter]

"Let's do shots of Chardonnay.
Let's start a book club!"

[laughter]

[applause]

That's never happened.
Right?

You don't know a 17-year-old
that owns a corkscrew.

That's weird, all right?

Not one time
in your entire life

can you tell me a time where
you've seen a 17-year-old dude

be like...

[smacking lips]
"Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm.

"This Merlot pairs so well
with a Doritos Locos Taco.

[laughter]

- Oh, that's good.

- "There's just something about
Zinfandels and a Hot Pocket.

That is to die for."

I think there's two things
alcohol-wise

we should stop ID'ing
for altogether, right?

Wine and bourbon.

Yeah, 'cause no matter
how old you are,

if you're drinking them,
you've earned it.

Think about it--
if you're drinking wine,

clearly you have
a lot of emotions,

and you're going
through some things.

And if you're drinking bourbon,
you have no emotions,

you've been through
some things.

Thank you, guys.
That's been my time.

[cheers and applause]

- Whoo!

- What did you think, Sofía?

- I felt her laughing.

So that made me even more like,
"Oh, this must be really good."

So I-I got more--

I was paying
more and more attention to you.

And I loved it.

- Thank you very much.
- It was funny.

I was actually laughing
the entire time.

Can you believe this, Terry?
Me.

- I can't believe it.
I was like--

- I got Heidi.
- I was watching--

- That's a win in itself.
Dude, I got Heidi!

- Oh, yeah.
- I did it, I did it.

- Yeah, go, go, go.
- That's a win!

- I feel good about it.
- I really appreciate that.

- It's also--your smile
is really infectious.

- Thanks.
My mom paid for braces.

I owe it all to her.
- What did you think?

- You know, I think
you're really funny.

The thing, for me is--
and listen,

you only had 90 seconds.

It was one--it was very myopic
in the sense that each story

about that one thing
was kind of the same.

But I think you're really good.

I think you got
a real future in it.

Congratulations.

- Thank you very much.
- Simon, what about you?

[hopeful music]

* *

- Cam, yeah,
so how much experience

have you had actually in gigs?

- I get onstage almost every
single night of the week.

- Wow.
- Good for you.

The fact that
you are out there doing gigs,

you have to do that
to get really, really good.

I have a lot of respect
for you for doing that.

- Thank you very much.
- And I like you.

You know, I kind of liked you
the minute you started.

I thought--
I'm like Heidi this year.

I don't know
what's happened to me.

- Right?
Like, what happened?

- They're becoming human.

- I broke them.
I got them!

- They're humanizing.

- I like you,
and I think the audience

is gonna like you,
more importantly.

- Thank you very much.
- Should we vote?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- Kick it off.

- The biggest comedian fan is
gonna give you a big, fat yes.

- Thank you very much.

- And another comedian fan
will give you another yes.

- Thank you.
- Sofía?

- Yes.
- Simon?

- You got four yeses.

- Four yeses!
Congratulations.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you so much, guys.
I really appreciate it.

- Thanks for making us laugh.
- Thank you very much.

[uplifting music]

- Aw, he's cute.

[line trilling]

- Hey, Mama.

- Your son just jammed.

He got four yeses.

- I appreciate you, Mama.
I love you.

You made me cry in front
of Terry Crews.

[laughter]

- * If I didn't have you *

[indistinct chatter]

- Now's your time to audition
for "America's Got Talent."

- This is it!

[hopeful music]

* *

- Don't worry, mami,
you got this, okay?

- I know I'll do my best.
- You will.

- So I'm excited.
Really excited.

[cheers and applause]

- Hi.
- Hello.

What is your name?

- My name is Breez Carver.
- What a beautiful name.

- Breez, that's nice.
- Thank you.

- How old are you?
- I just turned 13.

- And what are you going
to do tonight?

- I'm gonna be doing a dance.

- Ooh, how long
you been dancing?

- Since I was five,
six years old.

- Why? How did you decide
that you wanted to be a dancer?

- Well, when I was little,
I was adopted,

and I was really young,
and I was really shy...

[voice breaking] And I would
always hide behind my mom.

[sobs]
[all awwing]

- And then what happened?

- And then my parents now,
that I love so much--

- They're here?
Can we see them?

- Yes!
- Hello.

- Hi.

[applause]

- They thought dancing would be
really good for my confidence,

just to come out more
confident, be stronger, so...

- And it was, right?

- And I love it.
- You love it.

Okay, we can't wait to see
what you can do.

- Thank you.
- Good luck tonight.

[cheers and applause]

Beautiful.
Just so beautiful.

- * And all I remember
is your back *

[Kelly Clarkson's
"Piece By Piece" playing]

* Walking towards the airport *

* Leaving us all in your past *

* *

* I traveled 1,500 miles
to see you *

* *

- Whoo!

- * I begged you to want me,
but you didn't want to *

* *

* But piece by piece,
he collected me *

* Up off the ground,
where you abandoned things *

* Piece by piece,
he filled the holes *

* That you burned in me
at six years old *

* And, you know,
piece by piece *

* I fell far from the tree *

* I will never leave her
like you left me *

* And she will never
have to wonder her worth *

* Because unlike you,
I'm gonna put her first *

* And, you know,
he'll never walk away *

* He'll never break her heart *

* He'll take care of things,
he'll love her *

* Piece by piece,
he'll restore my faith *

* That a man can be kind
and a father should be great *

* *

* Piece by piece *

[cheers and applause]

- Bravo!

- That was beautiful.
Right?

- Well done.

- Bravo!
- Yes!

- * I prayed for you *

- Breez, that was perfection.

- Thank you.
- You were meant to do this.

You looked like
you were floating,

that you were enjoying it.

You look beautiful.

I mean, I can see the future
opening up for you.

Thank you for coming to "AGT."
- Thank you.

- I mean, we see
a lot of dancers,

and especially
a lot of kid dancers.

But you are really,
really special.

- Thank you.
- I can feel everything

when you dance.
It's crazy.

You dance with your face,
with your emotions.

- Yeah.
- Like, I really had chills.

It was absolutely beautiful.

- Thank you.
- Well done.

- * Oh, I can't believe
it's true sometimes *

- Howie?

- I think America's
gonna love you,

and I think you're gonna
do great in this competition.

Amazing.
[cheers and applause]

- Simon?

- You know what, Breez?

You have a real kind of--
like, a glow about you.

- Thank you.

- You know,
you're instantly likable.

- Thank you.

- Can I kick this off
with your first yes, please?

- Thank you.

- I'm gonna be your second yes.

- Thank you.
- I'm gonna be your third yes.

- Four yeses!
- Thank you, thank you.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.

- Yeah!

- * I promise
that I'll never leave *

- Well done, Breez.
- Bye.

- * When it's too heavy
to carry *

- I mean, I almost could shed
a tear when she was dancing.

It was really, like,
that emotional.

- Oh, yeah.
This is amazing.

- * I get to love you *

[indistinct chatter]

- * I get to love you,
I get to love you *

- She had everything.

The whole package.
- Yeah.

- To watch you out there,
it looked like a breeze.

It was absolutely stunning.

- I just feel
so proud right now.

- Celebrate.
- Yes!

[cheers]

- Yes!
- [laughs]

[upbeat music]

- Hey, whoa.
It's like superheroes.

- What is the name of the act?

- We call ourselves
Vertical Show.

- Are you confident?
- Yes.

- You think you can win?
- Yes.

- Why?
- We have strength.

We have grace.
And we have uniqueness

of the act
that we're about to present.

- Oh.

- * This is a man's world *

[James Brown's
"It's a Man's World" playing]

* This is a man's world *

- Wow.

- * But it wouldn't
be nothing *

- You guys are athletes.

- Whoa!

- I could see every muscle,
every movement.

- All of you are
absolutely incredible.

[cheers and applause]

- My name is MJ.

I'm 24, and I'm from
Quebec City, Canada.

- * This is a man's *

- Wow.

- You make it seem
like it's nothing.

You're so athletic
and beautiful.

- And you were so graceful,
the way you do this.

It's lightning speed.

[cheers and applause]

- We are Femme Fatale.

- I don't know
what you're gonna do,

but I love being surprised.

- * This is a man's world *

[electronic music playing]

- Traditionally, this kind
of dancing and popping,

it was all men, right?

And you made it your own.

- I don't think I've seen
enough of this.

Now I'm, like, obsessed.

- Incredible--I mean, so cool.
You've got four yeses.

- * This is a man's world *

* *

- I'm gonna study this tape.

You know I'm
studying this tape.

When y'all hit that one
with the everybody was...

[yells]

- * A woman or a girl *

- Here we go, gang.

* *

- Oh, my God.
- Ooh.

- Love that.

- * Man's world *

- Like, wow.
Welcome.

So who are you?

- I'm Gigi DeLuxe, and...
- I'm her daughter Devin.

- Oh, your daughter?
- Yes.

- Yes.
- My daughter.

- What?
- So nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.
- How old are you?

- I'm 20 years old.
- Where are you from?

- We're from New Orleans.

- Okay.
And what do you do?

- She's my human target.

- Human target.
- She's your human target?

- Family bonding.
- Okay.

[laughter]

- Are you married?
- No. Divorced.

- What happened to him?
- Oh.

- Oh, okay.
- Let's just say she missed.

- Well, he's an ER--
her father's an ER doctor,

so it was convenient,
just in case.

- Wait, as an ER doctor,

how does he feel about you
doing this with his daughter?

- Hates it, hates it.
- Yeah, not a fan.

- He didn't know we were
doing this, though.

- When we performed
for the first time together

in front of him,
he was waiting in the car,

ready to take us
to the hospital,

thinking something
was gonna go wrong.

- Hence the divorce.
- Yeah.

- Okay.

Well, I can't wait
to see what you do.

I'm a little nervous.
I feel like your father.

I want to go wait in the car.

But as a judge,
I have to sit here and watch.

- Well, try to enjoy yourself.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[scattered cheers]

[Donna Summer's
"I Feel Love" playing]

* *

- Do not try this at home!
Please!

* *

- * Ooh *

* It's so good, it's so good *

* It's so good, it's so good,
it's so good *

- I can't look.

- * Ooh, I feel love *

- * I feel love, I feel love,
I feel love *

* *

[crowd shouts]

- Aah!

- * Love *

[crowd cheers]

* *

- Oh!

[tense music]

* *

- Whoa!

[cheers and applause]

Wow!

Oh, there's still more.

* *

Aah!

* *

I can't move.

* *

Oh! Oh, yeah!

[wild cheering]

[Irene Cara's "Flashdance...
What a Feeling"]

* *

- What--what were you guys
whispering to each other?

- I told her I love her.

- After she survived it?

- [laughs]
- Okay, Simon.

- I mean, this is one
of the nuttiest acts,

genuinely, I've ever seen.

- Thank you.
- I mean, apart from the fact

that it's your daughter
you're nearly killing,

the song you're playing
is "I Feel Love."

It's, like...

[laughter]

- It takes a lot of love
for her to trust me this much.

- Oh, of course.
- Yeah.

- I think it's the fact
that it's your daughter

and you're the mum
makes this so crazy.

But I still loved it.

- Thank you.
- Sofía.

- I thought it was, like,
super different,

that you're a mother
and a daughter.

You have a crazy mother.

I thought it was a lot of fun.

- Heidi?

- I'm just happy you didn't
ask me to come up there.

Usually I get
something thrown at, but--

- Maybe next time.
- No, no, no, no, no.

[laughter]

- Well, it's time to vote.
Heidi?

- Yes.

- Sofía.
- I'm gonna say yes.

- Yes!

* *

- I have to be honest.

It didn't have the energy

that I wanted it to have
and the fun.

- Come on.
No. Dude!

She risked her life!

- I know, but I've seen this,
and I would imagine at home,

the home audience agrees
with me 100%.

- I don't think so.
- Yeah, I think they do.

It's a no from me.

So you have two yeses
and a no.

- Me and Howie got to talk
after this.

We have to talk.
- Simon?

- I would say I think you've
got to put on more of a show.

And we have seen people
putting on a better production.

Taking all that
into consideration,

I'm gonna give you...

a yes.
- Yay!

- Yeah!
- Thank you.

- * Bein's believin',
I can have it all *

- I love you.

- * Now I'm dancing
for my life *

- Three yeses.
They're moving on.

- * Take your passion *

- I was trying
to save the child.

- Gigi, Devin,
that was amazing.

First of all, I literally

was sweating bullets
the whole time.

- She was winking a lot.
She was saying...

- "Help me."
- "Help, help."

- "Help me"?

- Coming up...

- Viva México!
- Viva!

- We're gonna do something
we've never, ever done.

Three, two, one.

[indistinct shouting, cheering]

[lively music]

[indistinct chatter]

all: We are Guapacharros!

- [singing in Spanish]

- Our dream is to show our
Mexican culture to the world.

We dance.
We sing.

We create
a lot of passion for this.

We are from
different backgrounds,

but we are best friends.

- Like a family.
- We're like a family, yeah.

- We even move
into the same house

to practice day and night.

We just feel grateful
and happy to be in "AGT."

- If we win, we really want
to create a better future

to our families.

* *

This is the biggest
performance of our lives,

and we are gonna
pull up on the stage

our soul,
our heart, our passion.

- All right,
America's ready to see you.

Go right out there.

Guapacharros!

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Hi.

- Where are you guys
coming from?

- From Mexico City
and from Guadalajara, Jalisco.

- Bravo.

Is this your first time, like,
in a big, big place like this?

- Yeah, this is our first time.
- Why "AGT"?

- Well, "AGT" is
a big opportunity for us.

We can only be happy
to be here in front of you.

- Aw.
- And we will make a fiesta.

- How long you guys
been together?

- For a year ago.

- And where did you guys meet?
- We meet in a dance school.

- Okay, so what are you
coming to do tonight?

- We--we will do
what Guapacharro can do.

- Okay, fantastic.

I'm so excited
that you guys are here.

Can't wait to see you guys.
Go ahead.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- This is gonna be even better
than I thought.

- Oh, look at this.
They're getting ready.

- They're gonna be
super in sync.

[all singing in Spanish]

- Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

* *

- Oh!

[wild cheering]

- No, not yet.
- That was so good.

- Why are they
stopping already?

[Junior Senior's
"Move Your Feet"]

- * Everybody *

* Move your feet
and feel united *

- I think already
you're gonna have two yeses.

- I wonder which two.

- Thank you.
- Can I ask a question

before we go--was that you
singing at the beginning?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

'Cause I thought
their voices were very good.

- Yeah, they were.

- Thank you.
Thank you.

- Slightly confused,
because we kind of saw

three different acts in one,
didn't we?

- Isn't that great?
Three in one.

- Isn't that what you're
always looking for?

- Voices are great.
The six-packs are great.

The whole thing is great.
Everything is great.

- Howie, did you like it?
- It was-it was--

Listen,
it was--not--it was good.

It was--I don't really
understand--it was good.

[laughter]

- Where do you guys want
to go with your show?

- Ah, okay.

- Okay, we're gonna
start voting.

Howie?

- Yes.

- Heidi?
- Yes.

- Simon?
- Yes.

- * Everybody *

* Move your feet
and feel united *

- Yeah!

- Viva México!

- Gracias!

Gracias.

Guapacharro!

"Chippendales" in Spanish?

[all yelling]
- Guapacharro!

This is how you do it!
Yeah!

[cheering]

- * Move your feet
and feel united *

* Oh, oh, oh *

* *

Yeah.

[wings flapping]
- Oh, my God.

I think there's a bird in here.

- Oh, yeah,
there's a little bird.

- Is there a bird in here?

- Yeah, I see it.
It's right there.

- Yeah.
- Oh, look.

- Hi.
- I noticed it earlier.

[dramatic music]

- Oh, look.
Whoa.

- That is a lucky sign.

- It's so pretty.

- My name is Victory Brinker.
I'm nine years old.

And I'm a singer.

Come on.

When I'm singing,
it makes me feel happy,

happy, and happy.

- Victory sings morning, noon,
and night. [chuckles]

But there's nothing
more touching as a parent

than to see your child
do what they love to do.

* *

- Do you think you can win
the whole thing?

- Yes.
- Yeah, that's the goal?

- To get four yeses.

- You want four yeses.
This is great.

- This is it, baby.

All these years,

Victory's been saying,
"I want to sing on 'AGT.'

I want to sing
for the judges."

She's just this little girl,

but I had no doubt
she was gonna give it her all,

and here she is,
nine years old,

and it's happening.

You're gonna do great.

- I hope so.

- I am beyond proud
of Victory.

And I hope that all
of her dreams come true.

- Aww.
So good.

Okay, go on out there
to "America's Got Talent."

- Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.
- Hello.

- [giggling nervously]

- Who do we have here?

- Hello.

- Hi.

- How are you?
- Good.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

- And what's your name, please?

- Victory.
- Victory?

- Victory.
That's nice.

- How old are you, Victory?

- I'm nine.
- Okay.

- Aww.
- And tell us a bit about you.

- I live in Latrobe,
Pennsylvania.

- Yeah.

And?

- And what?

[laughter]

- "And what?"
Okay.

And tell me
what you're gonna do today.

Are you going to--
you're gonna sing?

- Yes.
- Okay, are you excited?

- I'm ex-nervous.
- You're nervous.

- And excited.
Ex-nervous.

- Excited and nervous.
- She said ex-nervous.

- Ex-nervous.
- Ex-nervous.

- Ex-nervous, I love that.
Well, that's good.

And who are you here
with today?

- My mom.

- Aww.
- Aww.

- And what would you do
if you won the million dollars?

- Buy Simon a rainbow shirt
that has glitter on it.

- Oh.
I love that.

- Wow.
- I like that.

- Do you think I need
a rainbow shirt?

- You need some color.

- Because I only wear, like,
normally one color.

- Yes.
White, gray, and black.

- You got it.

Well, look, let's hope
this goes great for you.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

- Victory.

- [giggles nervously]

[scattered cheers and applause]

[vocalizing]

[singing in foreign language]

- [giggles, exhales nervously]

- Oh, my God.

- Wow.

- Wow.
- Okay, Victory, um--

- Look, the bird.
- Oh, my God.

- I know.

- There's a bird--
just flew in here!

- She came to visit you,
Victory.

- I mean, that is pretty
incredible.

That is a sign.

- He flew and sat
there for you.

- Whoa!
- Wow.

- That's a sign.

- Okay, all right.
Howie, what did you think?

- Well, I was
not expecting that.

And you're angelic.

- Yes.
- And I loved it.

- Thank you.
- I loved it.

- I loved it, too.
- Yes.

- You have a beautiful voice.
It was incredible.

You are incredible.

- Thank you.
- Amazing.

- I agree.
You are a star.

I think you have
a powerful voice.

That was amazing.
I really loved it.

- Thank you.
- Simon, what did you think?

- I think, you know,

auditioning and turning up
sometimes is really,

really important
for your career,

and I think you've
been incredibly brave

to come here,
I have to say.

Can I--I just want to talk
to Terry for one moment.

Terry, let me
ask you a question.

- Yes, yes.
- Can I have a word?

- Yes, yes.
- Would you mind? Sorry.

- Coming to you.

- Huh?

What is wrong?

- I don't know.

[dramatic music]

What happened?

- How would you feel if we were

to do something
different this year?

I just...

* *

Look, Victory,
as I said, you know,

turning up, you know,

in terms of your career,
is really important.

However, we're not

going to give you a yes today.

[audience groans]

We're gonna do something else
we've never, ever,

ever done on the show before.

We're all going to give you
something special.

Five, four, three, two, one.

[cheers and applause]

- * And if you have a minute,
why don't we go *

* Talk about it somewhere
only we know? *

* This could be
the end of everything *

- Bravo, Victory!

- * So why don't we go *

* Somewhere only we know? *

- Oh, my goodness.

* *

- She's amazing.
- You are so good!

- Thank you.
- Congratulations.

- I got ya.

- Victory, you are going
straight to the live shows.

- Yeah!

- Victory, you have
the most amazing voice.

- You're going to Hollywood.

- Amazing voice.
- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]
- Congratulations, Victory.
