[One Direction's
"Ready to Run"]

* *

- * There's a lightning in
your eyes I can't deny *

- Thank you so much!

- * Then there's me
inside a sinking boat *

* Running out of time *

- Okey dokey,
where do we start? Heidi.

- Let's start with
the glittery jacket.

You had me already
at the glittery jacket.

And then--

and then all of you
are so beautiful,

you're so pumped,
you're so ready.

You came all this way
and then it's kind of Broadway.

I don't know what it is,
but I loved all of it.

Super entertaining.

- * This time
I'm ready to run *

- That was super fun,
obviously.

I mean, everybody was dancing.

It felt like Vegas.

It was very interesting,
I really liked it.

* *

- You guys are fascinating
and you're very funny.

You really made me laugh,

because you've got great
personality.

In my experience, you know,
working with groups,

you know, you have to become
known

and then you bring in
the A-list songwriters

from around the world.

And I have a feeling,

even though
I didn't love the song,

that people are
gonna talk about you.

The energy was
through the roof.

[cheers and applause]

- The dancing was great.
- Yeah, fantastic.

I listen to the audience

and the audience loved you.

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Thank you!
- Thank you!

- All right, we're gonna vote.

Heidi.
- Yes!

- Sofía.
- Yes.

- Yay!
- Oh!

[wild cheering]

- That's it.

3,000 yeses.

- * This time
I'm ready to run *

* Escape from the city
and follow the sun *

* 'Cause I wanna be yours *

* Don't you wanna be mine? *

* I don't wanna get lost
in the dark of the night *

* This time I'm ready to run *

- * This time
I'm ready to run *

- If I could just
work with them

for, like, six months
and get them a proper record.

[all cheering]

- You did it!
You did it!

- * Ready to run *

- Coming up...

- It was mesmerizing.
It looked so beautiful!

- Dangerous animals.
[snarling]

[whips cracking]
- Oh!

- This is a moment.

- Oh, no!

- He's doing it on his back.
You guys are nuts!

- Nobody sleeps
till Simon is happy.

[laughter]

- The best audition
I have ever seen in my life.

[dramatic music]

- Here you go.
Come on, come boy.

Slow. Come, slow--
head up. Head up.

That's it, follow me.

I know there've been a lot
of animal acts on the show,

but there never
has been an act

with an animal this dangerous.

That's it, look at me.

Look at me. That's it, boy.

Walking out on stage
to me is terrifying.

I work with these animals
all the time,

but never in front
of an audience.

[dramatic music]

* *

- Hello.
What's your name, please?

- Don Lessem.

- And Don,
where are you from?

- Philadelphia.
- Philly in the house!

- Okay,
how old are you Don?

- I'm 70.

- And who are you here with?

- I have a group
of animal trainers.

- Okay, so it's
an animal act.

- These are animals
that you'll see

that have never been
trained before.

They are extremely
dangerous animals.

[creatures snarling]

- And they're here?
- They're here.

[screeching]

Please be still as you can.

I'm about to show you

the greatest
of all animal acts.

[snarling]

- They're raptors.

- Ah!

- [snickers]

[Was (Not Was)'
"Walk The Dinosaur"]

- * It was a night like this *

* 40 million years ago *
- What is going on?

- * I lit a cigarette *

* And bought a monkey skull
to go *

* Open the door
get on the floor *

* Everybody walk the dinosaur *

* Open the door,
get on the floor *

* Everybody walk the dinosaur *

shacka-lacka-lacka, boom *

* Boom, boom,
shacka-lacka, boom, boom *

* Boom, boom *

* *

[dinosaur roars]

[raptor screeching]

- Sit. Sit. Sit.

Right, okay.

I love dinosaurs,

but that was one of
the worst acts we've ever had.

I mean, you shouldn't be able
to see the legs,

'cause I like to believe
everything's real.

- I don't know
how to tell you this,

but the dinosaurs,
they're dead.

- So is the act.

- Simon,
I'm a dinosaur scientist.

I make the largest
dinosaur robots in the world.

- Well, why didn't you
bring them?

- They don't fit
in this theatre.

- Okay.

Heidi?
- It's a no for me, I'm sorry.

- I'm gonna say no, I'm sorry.

- It's three noes,
but thank you.

- Thank you for coming.
[raptor screeching]

[Kool and The Gang's
"Jungle Boogie"]

- I wanted to bring the joy
of dinosaurs to people.

I think I didn't bring
all the joy that we could,

but I love 'em,
people love 'em.

- I love 'em.

- Can you imagine if one year,
everyone was like that?

- How you guys
doing tonight?

- * Jungle boogie *

- Hi, and who are you?

- How you guys doing tonight?

How you guys doing tonight?
How you guys doing tonight?

I'm a parrot man!
How you guys doing tonight?

How you guys doing tonight?
How you guys doing tonight?

How you guys doing tonight?
I'm a parrot man!

How you guys doing tonight?
How you guys doing tonight?

I'm a parrot man!

- What?
- What's your real name?

- How you guys doing tonight?

How you guys doing tonight?
- Not very well.

- I'm a parrot man!
- Can you leave the stage?

- How you guys doing tonight?

- Some people wait
all day for that.

- How you guys doing tonight?
- Oh, that didn't work.

But maybe you can
go plague a zoo sometime.

- Tonight is weird.

* *

- Hi.

Oh, my God, what's in the box?

- Hello, who are you?

- My name is Shanay.
I'm 28 from San Diego.

- So what is your act?

- Well, I'm gonna be doing
an animal act for you.

I have an animal that
has never been on the show,

so I'm just really
excited to see

what you guys think about it.

- Okay, so go ahead.

we're very happy
that you're here today.

- Okay, well, I'm gonna
come a little bit closer.

Let's meet our performers.

We have Little Sofía.

- I knew it!
- No, no!

That's the one thing--
- Little Heidi.

- I love it.
- Roaches?

- And Little Simon.

- Do they fly?
- They're not gonna fly.

- That's nasty.

- So for our first talent,

Simon's going to go through
the hoop.

- Come on, Simon.
- Come on, Simon.

- Come on, Simon,
you can do it.

- Simon.
- Ew, she's touching it.

- Come on, Simon.

- No, no, no.
- Come on, Simon.

Whoo!
- Yes.

[buzzer]

- Heidi!

Okay, now we're gonna go ahead
and do the obstacle course.

- No, I'm not buzzing it, no.

- First we're going up
the teeter totter.

* *

And up the stairs.
- Sofía.

- Down the slide.

- Under the tunnel.
- No.

- And into the house!

[buzzer]

- You're not going
anywhere near mine.

- That's it.

[Pink's "Perfect"]

- Oh, man.

[crowd booing]

* *

- You guys are really mean.

- * You're so mean *

- I know. They are.

I actually like cockroaches.

They just walk around.
They clean up the place.

They mind their own business.
They don't do any harm.

- They eat garbage.

- Shanay, I love people
who love odd animals.

I've never seen
an act like this.

We're looking for
something original.

So I'm going to give you
your first yes.

- What?
- Thank you.

- I feel like you need to
practice more and come back.

- Okay.
- So for me, today, it's a no.

- Boo.

- Well, I think
your outfit is great.

You look great.

But I can't do cockroaches.

- But it's not about that,
it's about the act.

- I know, but they
didn't really do anything.

- They did.
- Listen, look--

I gave you time.
I didn't press.

- They were telling me
to press the X.

- They weren't.

Sofía, yes or no?

- * Pretty, pretty please *

* Don't you ever, ever feel *

* Like you're less than *

- Well, then I guess
I'm gonna say...

I'm going to say no.

So two noes.

- Are you serious?

- Yes.

- Okay.
- You know what, Shanay?

I'm really, really sorry,
but you come back another year,

and maybe this time
when Howie's with me,

you might get through
to the next round.

- Okay, fair enough.

Thank you.

* *

- I want to wipe everything.

- Can't believe
you said no to that.

- * Perfect to me *

- Welcome to
"America's Got Talent!"

- * Gonna keep on doin'
what I do, yeah *

- The contestants
are fighting to headline

AGT Las Vegas Live.

- Do we have a winner
in the house?

- I'm Terry.
What is your names?

- I'm Natalie.
- Natalie, and you are?

- Ben.
- You guys are family?

- This is my wife.
- This is your wife.

- And our daughter Claire
is a huge fan of yours.

- Oh, well, tell Claire
I said hello, this is great.

- Natalie and I have
three beautiful kids.

Claire, Jack and Sydney.

They are so supportive
of my dreams.

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

- I'm gonna sing.

If I were to win $1 million,

I would take care
of my family first.

The rest would be to further
this dream of making music.

[laughs]

- Let's go on out there
and meet the judges.

All right, come on
this way, thank you.

- * Gonna keep on doin'
what I do, yeah *

* Gonna do my thing *

* Gonna do my thing,
my thing *

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Welcome to
"America's Got Talent."

Tell us your name.

- My name is Ben Waites.

I am 32 and I am from
Nashville, Tennessee,

originally born in Louisiana.

- Okay, nice to meet you.

Tell us a little bit about you.

- I am a Southern gospel singer
and a vocal coach.

- Okay.

- All right.

- And what will you
be singing for us today?

- I will be singing
"True Colors."

- Why that song?

- The message of the song,
I feel,

is able to speak to people

no matter their age,
their race, their background.

It's able to communicate
a message of hope.

[cheers and applause]

- And did you bring anyone
special with you today?

My wife is here,
my mom is here,

and my grandmother is here.

- Wow.
- Yes!

- And they're all
standing in the wing?

My wife is on the side.
- Hello.

- My mom and grandmother
are in the audience.

- Hi, everyone!

- And, Ben,
do the people you coach

know you've auditioned?

- No.
- Oh.

- Why not?
- In that time with them,

it's all about them.
- Okay.

But now it is all about you.

And we can't wait to hear you.
Good luck.

[soft piano melody]

* *

- * You with the sad eyes *

* Don't be discouraged *

* Oh, I realize *

* It's hard to take courage *

* In a world full of people *

* You can lose sight
of it all *

* And the darkness inside you
makes you feel so small *

* But I see your true colors *

* Shining through *

* I see your true colors *

* And that's why I love you *

* So don't be afraid *

* You got to let 'em show *

* Your true colors *

* Are beautiful *

* Hey *

* This world makes you crazy *

* And you've taken all
that you can bear *

* Just call me up
and I will always be there *

* And I see your true colors
shining through *

* I see your true colors *

* And that's why I love you *

* So don't be afraid *

* To let them show *

* Your true colors *

* True colors *

* Are beautiful *

[wild cheering]

[Elton John's "Your Song"]

- * It's a little bit funny *

* This feeling inside *

* I'm not one of those
who can easily hide *

* *

- I mean, you know,
you do have so many emotions,

and I was feeling them too.

But I'm looking at Sofía.
Sofía is bawling her eyes out.

- And Sofía does not cry.
- Yeah.

I loved it because, you know,

it's a beautiful song,
but you made it yours.

And it was special,
it was different.

- Thank you so much.

- I loved it too.
You have a lot of talent.

Yeah, it was beautiful.
What did you think Simon?

- I think it's so interesting,
Ben,

the fact that you are
a vocal coach

because you
started really well.

And then there was a moment
in the middle

where I thought you were kind
of losing this

and I think
you sensed that yourself

because suddenly you went into
another gear at the end.

There's no such thing
as a perfect audition,

But this is just
a great audition.

This is a moment.
Everything you want.

- * And you can tell everybody
this is your song *

- All right, let's vote.
Why don't you kick it off?

- I would love to Heidi,
thank you.

Yes.

- Sofía?

- I can't wait to cry again.

Yes.
- * I hope you don't mind *

- You're gonna get three yeses.

- * That I put down in words *

- This is one of the
best sessions I've ever done.

- Beautiful.
- * How wonderful *

- I loved it.
- * Life is *

* While you're in the world *

* *

* I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind *

* That I put down in words *

- That was amazing.
You got three yeses.

- I can't believe it.
- I'm so proud of you.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

- * While you're
in the world *

* *

- Oh, Justin, look,
now we're in the holding room.

Oh, no, hold me.

[Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston's

baby *

- * Two can make
that dream so real *

- We are Duo Forza.
We live in Spain.

We are 33. He have 30--

that do this kind of act,

But, you know,
you put a twist to it

in a different way
with the comedy,

so it's a yes from me.

- Yes.

We were born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina.

for 9 years

and 3 and 1/2 married.
- Oh, wow.

[cheers and applause]

- So what is your dream?

- To be in Vegas is our goal.

[cheers and applause]

- We're ready for you guys.

- Okay, thank you.
- Thank you.

- Whoo!

[Postmodern Jukebox's "Creep"]

- * When you were here
before *

* I couldn't look you
in the eye *

- Great song.

- * You're just
like an angel *

* Your skin makes me cry *

* You float like a feather *

* In a beautiful world *

* I wish I was special *

- Look how
she's just holding him.

- * You're so very special *

* But I'm a creep *

* *

* Oh *

* *

* But I said--
I said she runs *

* *

- Whoa!
- * You're so very special *

- It's so pretty.

- * But I'm a creep *

- Wow--oh, whoa!
- * Ooh *

* I said it, I'm a weirdo *

- Look how she's just
hanging on like that.

* *

- * What the hell
am I doing here? *

* *

* I don't belong *

* *

* I'm a creep *

* Whoa *

- They are flying!

- * I'm--I'm a weirdo *

- Ah!

- * What the hell
am I doing here? *

* Oh, yeah, hold on *

* Oh, I don't belong here *

* Oh, ooh *

* I don't belong here *

[cheers and applause]

[The Venice Connection's
"Best Day of Our Lives"]

- Whoa, man!

- * So let's make this
the best day of our lives *

* Hidden from the dark
until sunrise *

* I know that you won't
believe your eyes *

- Get a room.

- * It'll be the best day
of our lives *

That was amazing.

- Muchas gracias.
Thank you very much.

- It was so interesting
to see that she was doing

the heavy work.
- [chuckles]

Well, because women
are strong enough

to also do the big stuff,
you know?

[cheers and applause]

- It was mesmerizing.
It was so elegant.

No safety net, nothing.

It was incredible.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

- Who taught you to do this?

- We create everything
together,

like, from scratch.

Like we create the costume,

the choreo, the elements.
- Good for you.

This felt different

from this kind of act
I've seen before.

So the fact that
you created this yourself

really to me
makes it more special.

- Thank you.

- I think it's time
for us to vote,

and I am so excited that
I want to be the first one.

I'm gonna say yes.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Heidi.
- I give you a second yes.

- Thank you.
- Simon.

- Now you've got three yeses.
Congratulations.

both: Thank you.
- Bravo!

- * It'll be the best day
of our lives *

* Hidden from the dark
until sunrise *

- That was incredible.
How do you feel right now?

- Now I am really sore.
[laughter]

- Wow.
- That was cool.

He didn't look like, you know,
like a big--

- No, because here,
I mean, she had, like,

these thin arms and everything.
- And then her legs.

- And I loved the ending, too,
how they kissed.

- I loved it.

- Coming up...

- Are you ready?

- Ah!
- Oh!

- Loved it, loved it, love it!

- More! More!

- Hurry up!

- Oh! Oh, my God!

- Can I get all students
to the stage?

- Good luck!
- You too!

All: TKB!

- * Since you came along *

[all speaking at once]

- We are...
all: Acapop! KIDS.

- * Everything's all right
when you're with me *

- We are a kids
a cappella group.

- Everyone get in.
[all laughing]

- When we all came together,
it was instant chemistry,

and it was just so special
to be in this

little community of people.

There's something so special
about it being a cappella, too,

because we all have to be
so in sync,

especially because
there is no music.

- One more time, breathe in.

We just do our best.

We worked for this.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, he would want us
to do this.

- Today we are going to be
performing "My Turn"

by Nolan Gibbons.

- He was formerly in Acapop!

but, um, he passed away,
unfortunately.

So we're doing his song, um--

we're doing his song
to honor him.

[Olivia Rodrigo's
"driver's license"]

- * I got my driver's license
last week *

- Nolan had just turned 15.

We had a great summer day

and swam in the pool,
and we had a family cookout.

- [singing]

- The next morning, just--
he was gone.

- * Crying 'cause
you weren't around *

- We don't know why.
It was classified as

sudden unexplained death
in childhood, known as SUDIC.

- Our world...

- Shattered.
- Shattered.

- He was always having fun.

- He was the kind of guy
you met and, like,

you immediately
wanted to hug him.

- He was just this light.

- I think he would be thrilled
that they're doing his song.

We love these kids so much
and it's just really special.

- We know we want to do
our best,

but it's not for us.
It's for him.

- And he's here with us.
- He is here with us.

- * Know I still
love you, babe *

* Ooh *

[cheers and applause]

- Hi!

- Hello!

- And who are you?

- We are...
all: Acapop! KIDS!

- Acapop! KIDS, I love that.

And where are you from?
- All over the US.

- Wow.
Right, who's the youngest?

How old are you?
- I'm 12 years old.

- Okay, who's the oldest?
- I'm 17 years old.

- Okay, tell me the story
about how you got together.

- Well, we've been together
for about four years now, so...

- Really?

- Yeah, we're all kind of
best friends.

We kind of formed over this
audition process,

and, like, we kind of all went
from

seeing this flyer
about Acapop! KIDS,

this new group being formed,

to performing with each other
for four years

so it's been awesome.

- Okay, so what's the dream?

- Go on tour and inspire
all the younger kids

to do whatever they want,
no matter what they look like.

And nothing will stop anybody.
- Okay.

Tell me the song
you're gonna sing

and why you chose it, please.

- It's called "My Turn",

and it's actually by one
of our dear friends

and former members of Acapop!
Who, um, sadly passed away.

Um, so we're just here
to spread his message

and be his voice.
- I'm sorry.

And you decided
to dedicate this to him?

- Yes.
- Good for you.

All right,
well, look, take a beat.

Think about this, because we
always say two, three minutes

literally can change your life
on this show.

So let's see what happens.

- All right, thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[group singing a capella]

- * You take your
sweet little time *

* 'Cause it's all you've got *

* A darker day,
a total eclipse *

* Snow falls
on the city skyline *

* And it just won't stop *

* A plea of mercy lingers
on these frozen lips *

* Why can't you just
let me in and be? *

* Poseidon sends his waves *

* And I feel lost out at sea *

- * So let me go,
let me go, let me breathe *

* Stand tall
for what I believe *

* I'm gonna scream to the sky
till I'm finally heard *

* But when is it my turn? *

* I'm sick and tired of trying
to find my own place *

- * Find my own place *

- * Nobody's making it easy *
- * Yeah, yeah *

* All these blind eyes
feel like a slap in the face *

* What if nobody sees me? *

- * Why can't you just
let me in and be? *

- * Oh *

- * The world comes
crashing down *

* And you feel
lost out at sea *

- * So let me go,
let me go, let me breathe *

* Stand tall
for what I believe *

* I'm gonna scream to the sky
till I'm finally heard *

* Until it is my turn *

* Tell 'em what you feel,
learn to speak *

all: * So why can't
we simply exist? *

- * Wanna run to the sun
till I finally learn *

* But when is it my turn? *
- * When is it my turn? *

all: * When is it my turn?

[wild cheering]

[Elton John and Rina
Sawayama's "Chosen Family"]

- * Settle down,
put your bags down *

- Wow!

- Guys, he would have been,
like, really proud of us.

- * You're all right now *

- Wow, wow, wow.
Where have you been hiding?

- * We don't need to share
genes or a surname *

* You are, you are my chosen,
chosen family *

- That was beautiful.
You meld beautifully together

with your voices.

I just loved it.
I was super into that.

- That was great. Awesome.

- I thought
that was so much fun.

I think this is what
you guys are meant to do.

The song was beautiful,

and I know this means a lot
to you guys

because he wrote it.

And I am very happy that
you guys made it to "AGT"

because we needed you guys.

[cheers and applause]

- Yeah.

I think to sing a song
as a tribute

to someone you've lost is such
a difficult thing to do.

So emotional,
so respectful, by the way.

And it was
what I call a moment.

I love you guys.
Absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant, brilliant,
brilliant, okay.

[cheers and applause]

Heidi?

- Yes to Acapop! KIDS!

- Yes!

- You've got, obviously,
three yeses, you're through.

- * Chosen family *

- Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you!

- * We don't need to share
genes or a surname *

* You are, you are my chosen,
chosen family *

* So what if we don't
look the same? *

* We've been going through
the same thing, yeah *

- Give me a high five,
everybody! Oh!

- Their timing is genius.
I mean, genius.

- * You are,
you are my chosen,

* Chosen family *

* *

- Aw, look at Howie's station.

- Do you think Simon
did something to him?

- Oh, he gave Howie
something to eat the other day.

- Tangerines.

That's what he always has,
tangerines.

That is very suspicious.

- Let's not eat anything
that Simon gives us.

- I already did.

- Audience, you feeling good?

Are you guys ready
for your next act?

[cheers and applause]

- Watch your back.
Back, please.

- You see how high it
will be there.

It's too high.

- Oh, the boss is here, shh!

- What have I done?

- Did you give Howie
a tangerine the other day?

- Yeah, what did you give
Howie? Why is he not here?

- He was just talking too much.

By the way, I'm not
the assassin on this show.

Ahem.

Think about it.
Since you arrived,

Heidi was off, I was off,
Howie was off.

She's never been off.

We've all had
"mysterious" accidents.

- I understand
why you think it's me.

* *

- If we can grab our seats,
folks.

If you're ready,
grab your seats, thank you.

- Who'd like an orange, anyone?

- But we don't know
what he put in these.

Maybe tomorrow I'm gonna be
not sitting here.

- All right, here we go.
Gere we go.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello.

- Good evening.
How are you guys?

- Hello, I'm Henry from Brazil.

- I'm Klaus.
- We are from Brazil.

- Oh, both of you
are from Brazil?

How old are you guys?

- I'm 30, and Klaus is 29.
- Yeah.

- Are you guys family, friends?

- We are friends, yeah.

- Yeah, we are friends and
we are brothers of soul, yes.

- So what is your act?

- We are the first escape duo.

We say "brothers of soul"
because we really need to be,

like, mentally and spiritually
connected to each other.

- Okay, and how long ago
did you guys meet?

- 15 years ago.
- Yeah.

- We met each other
in a performance club.

- Why "AGT"? Has it been
a dream of you guys?

- Yeah.
Since we were a little kid,

we dreamed to show our work
to the entire world.

- Okay, so we're happy that
you guys are here.

Good luck tonight.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- We're just about to get
inside these barrels

and be lifted
two stories in the air.

- Oh, no.

- Don't try this anywhere,

especially at home.

- This is rigged with
some minor explosives.

Don't worry.

It's safe for you
and for this building,

but...not for us.

We'll be handcuffed
to each other,

with only this hair clip
to escape.

And to make this even harder,

this rope will be on fire.

This gives us around 90 seconds
to escape before that fire

hits the barrels, causing them
to explode...

with us inside.

You'll follow this
the entire time

through these live cameras.

One camera at Klaus' side

and the other camera
at my side.

Judges...
[exhales deeply]

Wish us luck.

- Good luck!
- Good luck!

[tense music]

* *

- Oh, my God.

* *

- I would hate being in
that cramped thing.

- Why do people like doing
these things?

* *

- Oh, no.

* *

- Uh-oh, here comes the fire.
Oh, no.

- Oh, my gosh.

* *

- Okay, he's starting
with the hairclip.

* *

Look how rapidly it's going up.

* *

- One of 'em's loose.
Now they gotta get out.

- Oh, no.
What is he doing?

- You gotta get
the other one, man.

Come on!

- The other guy has to get out.

Look at how he's shaking.
- I know.

Oh, no!

- Oh! Come on!

* *

- Come on!

- Hurry up!

[audience screams]

- Oh!

Oh, my God!

[tense music]

* *

- [screaming]

[Summer Kennedy's "Oh, My My"]

- * It feels so good,
it feels so good *

* Oh, my, my,
gonna make my move *

* I'm all in,
got nothing to lose *

* Oh, my, my *

- That scared the...out of me.
[laughs]

- Wow! [laughs]

- * Do my thing *

* Way up high
and take it low *

- Henry! Klaus!

- * Light it up
and let it roll *

- I--I mean,
that was spectacular.

- * Are you ready? *

both: Thank you!

- I mean, that was such
a nerve-wracking thing.

We were all like going crazy.

Then it was so funny
because I'm like,

"Why does he want the camera
so close to his face?"

- I know,
that's what I was thinking.

Like, "All right,
I've got the point,

you want a close up."

Then he's getting
closer and closer.

- We wanted to see
your biggest reaction.

- Well, you got it.
- Yeah.

- I loved it, too.
I loved the danger part of it.

I loved trying to
figure it out.

And I can't.

And I love the two of you.
It was great.

- Thank you, so much.
- Thank you.

- [laughing] Simon?

- I mean, yeah, I'm--
[Simon and Sofía laugh]

My heart's still like this.

I think you've got great
showmanship

as well, the two of you.

And I think that's really,
really important.

Anyway, we have to vote.

Sofía?
- Yes.

- Thank you!

- I'm gonna say yes, too!

- And now you've got
three yeses.

Well done.

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

* *

- Thank you, America!

* *

[cheering]

- Wait, wait,
is it really you?

Is it really you?

Are you okay?
both: Yeah.

* *

- Audience, are you guys
ready for your next act?

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, I'm Terry Crews.
What's your name?

- It's so nice to meet you.

I'm Erika Glenn.
- Hi, Erika.

And what are you gonna do
here on "AGT"?

- Well, it's a little bit
of a surprise.

I write my own music,
so it's a musical theatre piece

that I've written myself,

and it may or may not be
about someone here today.

- * And the voice we
love most *

* Would always chime in *

* With a masterful roast *

* I'm the Voiceless Simon *

* Oh, Simon Cowell *

* You know somehow
he will find a way *

* To make the meanest things
sound meaner *

* Simon Cowell *

* He's so high-brow *

* He'll burn you
like it's hot *

* With his cool demeanor *

* You just killed
my favorite song *

[buzzer]

* Of all time *

[buzzer]

* But I never get to
call your foul *

* Simon Cowell *

* *

[cheers and applause]

- I don't think we really need
a Simon Cowell musical.

I mean, just saying.
- We do.

[Oh The Larceny's
"Man on a Mission"]

- And this was okay,
but we want great.

It's a no from me.
[whip cracks]

- * Won't waste
another minute *

- Your song,
it was completely wrong

for "America's Got Talent."

I'm going to give you,
unfortunately, a no.

[whip cracks]

* *

- That is
the best audition

I have ever seen in my life.

I would've said yes.

[audience cheers]

[whip cracks]

- * I'm a man on a mission *

- Is that gonna be
a show in Vegas?

- Yes.

- * Take it all now,
take it all now *

* Take it all now,
take it all now *

- A cowboy with toilet paper?

- What on Earth?

- Oh...

- Oh, crap.

- What is going on here?
[chuckles]

- Do you have to use
the bathroom?

- No, I already did.

I took this
out of the bathroom.

- Oh, okay.
- Oh.

- So who are you?

- My name is Adam Winrich.

I'm 40 years old
from Fall Creek, Wisconsin.

[cheers and applause]

- And what is your act, Adam?

- My act is mainly
whip cracking.

[cheering]

- So do you make a living
by whipping?

Wiping? What?
- [chuckling] Whipping.

- Wiping, whipping, yeah,
we got it covered.

[audience laughs]

- [laughs]

- Yeah, I make a living
travelling around the country,

and we do
renaissance festivals.

- What is the plan with this?

Where do you want to go with

your wiping--whipping?
[laughter]

- My hope is to do it
for as long as I can do it.

Hopefully into my 60s,
maybe even to my 70s.

- Okay.
- Okay, perfect.

Then we're ready for you.

- And one other thing
I was going to say

before I get going,
I will need a volunteer.

I want to say that first--
- [chanting] Sofía.

Sofía, Sofía!
- Come on, Sofía!

[audience cheers]
- No!

- Sofía!

- Oh, she's coming up!

[cheers and applause]

[laughter]

- Yeah!

[dramatic western music]

- Why me?

- Don't worry about it.
- Where do you want me?

- Stand right there, please.

So, Sofía,

have you ever had a whip
cracked around you before?

- I'm not going to say that
to you.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

- That means yes.

- Not on a stage. Like "AGT".

- Fair enough. Okay.

Here we go.
- No, no, wait, wait.

Do I have to close my eyes
or something?

- If you want to.

- You'll be fine.

Just don't move.
- Are you ready?

Here we go.
- No, no, no, no.

[whip cracks lightly]
[yelps]

- All right, here we go.

[whips cracking rhythmically]

- Ay, ay!

[dramatic music]

- [screams]
- Oh, my God!

[whips cracking quickly]

- [screaming]

[cheers and applause]

- More! More!

- I am dead inside.
That was horrible!

- Do you need toilet paper?

[laughter]

- [chuckling] Heidi.

- I don't know.

- Not yet.
- Well, actually, you do.

That was a great setup.
Thank you, Heidi.

Hold on to that right there.

And it's going to do
a big arm swing--

[buzzer]
Oh, my God.

[audience booing]

- Hey, let him concentrate!

Now he's gonna--
- I never thought about that.

- [chuckles]

All right,
just do a big arm swing

all the way around your head.

- [cackles]

- I know I'm brave!

[dramatic music]

[yelling]

- Ah! Ah! Ah!

- [screaming]

- I don't like this!

- Now that was better.

together: How'd he do that?

- That was so good!
- I want to go home.

- We made a little bit
of a mess, Sofía.

Y'all want to see a big mess?

[audience cheers]

Of course they do.

- Oh, no. Oh, no!

- Oh!

- What's he gonna do with that?
- Dude.

- Sofía, if you would come
over here, please.

This is the funnest part.
- Huh?

- You get to shoot me
with a toilet paper cannon.

Put it on your hip.

When I say go,
you just roll that button

all the way forward.

- And then what?
- You'll see.

- I--[screams]
[whips cracking]

- Sofía, you ready?
And go!

- Go, Sofía!

[dramatic music]

* *

[wild cheering]

- Wow!

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

[loud cheers and applause]

- That was the most scary thing
I've ever felt.

- Do you know what,
it was,

and I really felt bad for you.
[chuckles]

[laughter]

- But you looked fabulous.
- I did a good job.

- Yeah, you looked great.
- You did excellent.

- Yeah, she did.

- I mean, I have to say,
I was laughing.

- Yeah. I--yeah.

I buzzed you because
I thought it got a bit slow.

- There was a little break.
- Yeah.

And--I'm just looking
at you now,

covered in loo roll,
it's just so crazy.

[laughter]

But I'm wondering,
is this a Vegas act?

- I think if Sofía
goes with Adam,

it definitely is.
- I don't have time.

I can't. I can't do it.
I am busy.

[laughter]

- I'm confused here.
What do you think?

[audience cheers]

[Glen Campbell's
"Rhinestone Cowboy"]

- It's very split, Adam.

So I'm gonna say no.

I'm gonna leave your fate
with the girls.

[audience booing]

- I'm gonna say yes to Adam.
Why not?

[cheers and applause]

- But it's not fair
because I was up there.

I couldn't see--
- Well, the next time

I'm up there,
then you can vote for me.

- Okay, then yes.

- * Like a rhinestone cowboy *

* Ridin' out on a horse
in a star-spangled rodeo *

- I mean.
- That felt insane.

That felt insane.
- That actually was scary.

- That was fabulous.

How do you feel?
- Oh, I feel great.

I feel a little bit bad that
Sofía was so scared but

it was funny, right?
- Hey, man, I was scared.

- I mean, respect.

- * Like a rhinestone cowboy *

- Coming up...

- Oh, my God!

- [shushing]

[tense music]

- It had expertise,
showmanship.

It was a ten.

* *

- Okay, here we go.
Here we go, here we go.

Grab your seats, folks.

* *

- You guys ready
for our next act?

[cheers and applause]

[upbeat music]

- All right.
So that's the next act.

- All right.
Go right out there.

You got it. Thank you.

Don't worry.

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- Who are you?

- We are...
- Jeremy and Stephanie.

- And we are from Colombia.

- [cheers loudly] Bravo!

- Yes!

[both speaking Spanish]

- I can imagine what
you're going to be doing.

Are you sure?
- [chuckles]

- Ay, why is she talking
in English?

[laughter]

- She's the interpreter.
- Ah.

- And what's your name?
- My name is Suzanne.

I'm interpreting for them.
- Fantastic.

Well, we'd like to know,
how did they meet each other?

[both speaking Spanish]

- Jeremy and I met each other
a long time ago

because I was
his dance teacher.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- And is the kind of dance
we're gonna see today

different from other
dance groups we've seen?

- [speaking Spanish]

- What we're bringing
to you today,

I think you're really gonna
like it because

it has a lot of passion,
spiciness--

- No, uh-uh, "flavor."
- Flavor!

- That's what she said.
[laughs]

- [speaking Spanish]

- That's obviously
a compliment.

- Gracias, mi vida!

- Don't think we need
that translation.

- We would like
to dedicate this act

to all of the Latinos
worldwide,

but especially to this judge
who we love

and we are doing it
specially for you.

- Me?
- Muchas suerte!

No, it's me.
- Me! She was looking at me!

- [speaking Spanish]

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.
- Okay, good luck.

- [speaking Spanish]
- It's me.

- They pointed towards me.

[cheers and applause]

- Ay, I hope they're good.

- Wow!

- [speaking Spanish]

- [laughs]
- [speaking Spanish]

[cheers and applause]

I'm gonna say it in English.
I was saying to them that--

- You could only trick me
for a minute.

I kind of thought I knew
what you were gonna do,

and I'm glad you did it.
- I can say all that.

- I am so proud of you.

Thank you so much for coming
all the way here--

- [speaking Spanish]
- Thank you for inspiring us.

- [chuckling]
Why she didn't let me say it?

- I love you two.

You two are my favorite
dancing couple

that we've seen all season.

It felt literally like

you've done everything
in double-time.

Loved it, loved it, loved it.
- Thank you!

- It had personality,
showmanship,

expertise, originality.

It was a ten.

- Thank you, Simon.

- Wow.
- Gracias.

- We now have to vote. Heidi.

- Big, fat yes!
- Thank you!

- Sofía, is your name Heidi?

- No.
- You're saying "no"?

Oh, I'm absolutely--
- No!

- I'm saying yes. My God!

- Sí!
- Gracias!

* *

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Yes!

- They're amazing.

- You got me!

- Sofía, te amo!

- [speaking Spanish]

- They are incredible.
They are incredible!

- * I'll carry you *

[cheering]

- Man, this energy in here
is amazing!

[upbeat music]

- "America's Got Talent"
is more than just exposure

or a possible million dollars.
I want to inspire others.

* *

- Let's do it!

- You can achieve your dreams.
You just have to believe it.

I'm very excited to play

for the second time
on that stage.

I'm kind of like a cockroach.

The cockroaches
always come back.

You could nuke the planet

and the cockroaches always
come out of the woodwork.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh!
- Hi! It's Alex!

Hi, Alex.
- Back with a vengeance.

- Okay.

Hello.

- Hi, my name is Alex Rivers.

I am 26 years old.

I play the violin,
and I'm from Las Vegas, Nevada.

- You look happy.
- I'm really excited.

This has been my dream
for the longest time.

And I'm a street performer
on the strip.

So, I see the billboards
all the time and I'm like...

"Ah," like, you know?

- There must be times
where you're thinking,

"I really want to be on
that billboard."

- Every day I see it and
I just imagine myself there.

And finally I was like,

"Let's elevate this."
[chuckles]

[violin plays]

* *

- Did you just prepare
one song?

- Yes.
[laughs]

- I absolutely love Alex.
- Oh!

- I hated the track.
- Oh.

- Alex, you're gonna have to
bring back a different track.

- Okay.
- We're not saying yes or no.

We love you, I just want you
to be amazing.

- It's okay, you got this!
- I love you!

- I know I'm gonna do good

because I practice
my butt off.

Everything I've been
going through,

everything I've fought for,

I'm gonna leave it
on the stage,

and I'm going to make them
feel something.

Make them be like,
"Oh, oh. Oh, oh!"

[cheers and applause]

[laughs]

So Simon did not like
my song last time,

and he left me, like,
with no closure.

He's like, "I'm not gonna
give you a vote."

I was like, this is like

one of those toxic
relationships

where they string you along
and you're like, "What are we?"

- [laughs]
- Oh, Simon.

- I wouldn't have put it
quite like that, Alex, but...

- So what are we?
- I was more like, mentoring,

supportive, helpful.

[laughter]

So anyway, let's see if we made
the right decision or not.

- All right, we'll put
a title on it tonight.

[cheers and applause]

- Yeah, that's it!

- I'm not gonna
say anything else.

Good luck.

- Here you go, Alex.
Come on, man, you got this.

- You got this, Alex!

* I swear I'll behave *

- Okay, Alex,
would you still describe

our relationship as toxic?

- [laughs]

No, I think
you've come to a conclusion,

and just so you know,
my ring size is a seven men's.

[laughter]

- I wasn't gonna go
quite that far,

but I'm glad
that we're friends.

Let's start with Heidi.

- I like you a lot.

I think you're a great artist.

You have a lot of talent.
But also you.

I just love you.
You're like a little lovebug.

I want to come and--
[smooching noises]

I think you're like, so cute.

[audience cheers]

- I was really like
feeding off the energy.

I suck it up like roots.
Like I have roots.

I'm just like--
[smooching noises]

It's delicious.

- * I've got them moves
like Jagger *

- Sofía.
- I adore you.

I know you're nervous,
but you came with strength.

You were happy to be here.

[audience cheers]

- And that song
was so much better.

He was right.
This was fantastic.

- Thank you.

- I personally just felt
there was more in you.

And not only was
the track better,

but you also showed
how important this is to you.

- Yeah.

- You put everything
you had in it, too.

- Yeah, like at the hotel,
I was like,

I'm gonna practice this and
if somebody bangs on the wall,

be like, nobody sleeps
till Simon is happy.

[laughter]

No one, no one.

- We've put you through
a hell of a lot.

We're going to vote. Heidi?

- It's a yes from me, Alex.

[cheers and applause]

- Sofía.
- Of course a yes, Alex.

- Thank you.

- I'm going to work out,
based on the people here,

you've got about 4,000 yeses.

- Thank you!

[wild cheering]

- * Take me by the tongue
and I'll know you *

* Kiss me till you're drunk
and I'll show you *

* You want the moves
like Jagger *

* I've got them moves
like Jagger *

- This validation meant
everything to me.

Thank you so much.
- Well done, well done.

- Well done!

- * I don't need
to try to control you *

- Alex, you did great!
Come here, give me a hug, man.

- I'm glad you asked him
to come back.

- And he did try harder.
- Yeah, he did great.

- * I got them moves
like Jagger *

- Whoo!

* *

- Coming up...

- That is crazy!

- I mean, I'm in shock.

- [singing]

- This could be a life-changing
moment for you.

[dramatic music]

[line ringing]

- Hi, Simon.

- Ah, let me ask you
a question.

- Did he give you tangerines?

- Did Sofía--
- Did you eat a tangerine?

- Did Sofía make you a smoothie
the day before you got ill?

Yes or no?

- All kidding aside,
I did have

some of those
Colombian snacks.

- Thank you. I don't know
if I ever told you this,

but you know the day
I had the bike accident?

- Yeah? -
Who was there the day before,

fixing the gears?
- No idea.

- Vergara.

- No, I wasn't there.

- You were there?
- No.

- I never I never told
anyone that, but yes.

- Sofía,
I want no more snacks.

* *

- Audience, are we ready
for our next act?

[cheers and applause]

- What is that?
- Rolla bolla.

- I've never seen that.
- Yes.

- It's actually one of
the hardest things to do.

- It's hard.
- I'm not kidding. You'll see.

- Okay, here we go, folks.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Who do we have here?
What are your names?

- I am Arnold, and--
- I am--

- 25 years old.
- I'm Martin.

I'm 20 years old.

- And where are you from?

- We came from Albania.
- We are brothers.

- Brothers, okay.

[audience cheers]

I see a little rolla bolla
behind the two of you.

You rolla bolla for a living?

- No, for a living
I do interior design.

- Oh, and you?

- I'm in second year of school,
studying law,

and we are self-taught.

- But then again,
a fun show in Vegas

or being a lawyer?
- Both.

In the day, I study law
and I will be a lawyer

and the night, I will do shows.

[laughter]

- That's smart.

And you can negotiate
your own contract.

- Yeah, because I don't need
no one, I have myself so...

[laughter]

- So cute.
- All right, I'm ready.

Are you guys ready for this?

[cheers and applause]

[dramatic music]

* *

[audience gasps]

both: Whoa!

- What a talent.
- Yeah.

* *

What?

* *

Look at that.
He's doing it on his back!

* *

- Whoa!

[cheers and applause]

- No!

- What?

[dramatic music intensifies]

* *

- [cheers]

O-M-G.

[audience gasps]

- [yells]

* *

- Almost stepped on his head.

* *

What the--
- He's going on his head.

- He's going on his head!

* *

[cheers and applause]

[loud cheers and applause]

- That is crazy!

[wild cheering]

* What ya gonna do? *

* I wanna get that, oh *

- Oh, my neck hurts.

- My God!

- Wow!

You just reinvent the wheel,
because rolla bolla,

on top of a person,

we have never seen before.
- Nope.

- You guys are nuts!

It was so good!
- Thank you very much.

- Right?
- I mean, I'm in shock.

I have never seen that thing.

And I saw it there,
it looked so silly.

It's like, what are they gonna
do with that little tube?

I mean, that was amazing.
It had everything.

I mean, I could watch you guys
for a long, long time.

- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Thank you very much.

- Well, as Heidi said,
you know,

it's always good
to see something

we haven't seen before.

I don't know when you decided,
one day,

"That's what I'm going to do,"

which is to put that
on your head.

The only thing I didn't
like were the oranges,

the tangerines,
whatever they were.

- I think they're tennis balls.
- They're tennis balls.

- Well, they're orange.

- He's eating so many
he's seeing them everywhere.

- Why are you gonna find
something bad about this?

- Because it was unnecessary.

If you're gonna balance
something, knives?

[audience boos]

Only trying to help.
- Don't pay attention.

- For the knives,
this will be--

- The next show.
- Next time.

- Thank you very much.

No oranges.

- I like you guys.

So, let's vote
for the brothers!

I'm gonna give you
your first yes.

- Whoo!
- Thank you.

- Two yes!
- Three yeses.

[both shouting]

* *

- * What ya gonna do,
what ya gonna do? *

* What ya gonna do? Oh! *

* *

- Wow!

- I want to do all that.
I don't even know how to run.

- Bolla Brothers!
That was so good!

[upbeat music]

We've been giving contestants
the chance to escape

to their own personal oasis,

where they got to own
their moment.

Take a look
at what was captured

inside the Sonic Glowasis.

[cheering]

[violin plays]

together: We just got
a standing ovation!

- Congratulations, my partner.

- We're so excited about this.

- I just got off stage.

- It's just thrilling
to be out there.

- Just seeing all the lights
and the crowd.

- This is a dream
for us to be here.

- Oh, my God,
it's a dream come true.

- Don't listen to the no's.
- And believe in yourself.

- Simon Cowell, love you.

- "America's Got Talent"
makes us happy!

all: Yeah!

[cheering]

- So happy!
- So happy!

[crowd cheering]

- Welcome to
"America's Got Talent."

[peaceful guitar music]

- Hello, sir, I'm Terry Crews.
What is your name?

- Wyn Starks.
- Wyn, and what is your age?

- I'm 39.

- And what are you
gonna do here on "AGT"?

- Well, I'm gonna sing a song.

It's an original song
that I wrote.

- Okay.

- I grew up
around a lot of music.

My mom had music playing
all the time in the house.

I have a twin brother.

He sang too,
but he didn't pursue it.

He went a different way,
you know.

But my brother's
youngest daughter,

I told her, you know, that
I was gonna be coming here.

And she was like, "Oh, my God,

you're gonna be
meeting Terry Crews!"

She loves you.
- I'm honored, man.

All right, talk to me about
the first time you decided,

"I'm gonna do
'America's Got Talent'."

- This has been something
I've always wanted to do,

dreamed about as a kid,

and fear has stopped me
for too long, you know?

I have to--I have to do this.

This feels right.
It feels time, you know?

- We're just setting up
for the next act.

- One more act.

[cheers and applause]

- Okay, here we go.

- You're up next on the stage.
Are you ready?

- I'm ready.
- Okay.

- Whew!

[audience cheering]

* *

- Hi.
- Hello, hello.

- Hello. How are you?
- I'm good.

I'm good, a bit nervous,
but I'm great. I'm excited.

- You're excited,
we're all excited.

What's your name?

- My name is Wyn Starks.

- Where are you from, Wyn?

- I am from
Minneapolis, Minnesota.

But I live in Nashville,
Tennessee, currently.

- Cool.
- Yeah.

[audience cheering]

- So, are you
in Nashville because

you want to be a singer?

- Well, yeah, I've been
doing music my whole life.

You know, I sang as a kid.

My mom played music through
the house and sang, you know.

- And is this something
you're now doing

full time or do you do
something else, Wyn?

- Yeah, actually, I got
laid off my job due to COVID,

so it kind of forced me
into music full time.

- And what were you
doing before, Wyn?

- I did hospitality.
So I worked at a hotel.

- And you've decided
to come on the show?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Well, you've taken
a big step here, Wyn.

- Yes, I'm so excited
to be here.

- Good for you.

[cheers and applause]

And tell me what
you're gonna sing

and why you chose the song Wyn,
please?

- Well, this song is actually
an original song,

and it's called "Who I Am,"
and it talks about my journey,

you know,
and becoming Wyn Starks.

It was one of my brother's
favorite songs, and I--

I'm a twin, and...

recently, actually,
lost my twin brother, so...

- Oh, no.

- It's been really hard and...

you know, he was one of
my biggest supporters.

So, to be here means
everything to me.

And I'm doing this for him.

[cheers and applause]

- I'm sorry to hear that,
by the way.

We all are sorry.
- Sorry.

- That's horrible, Wyn.

- I just want to do this
and honor him, you know?

- All right.

[cheers and applause]

Okay, we're rooting for you.
Good luck.

[cheers and applause]

[Donny Hathaway's
"A Song for You"]

- * I've been so many places *

- Beautiful!
- * In my life and time *

* *

* I've sung a lot of songs *

- Wow, wow, wow,
wow, wow, Wyn.

What was your brother's name?

- Kane.
- Okay.

- That was amazing.

Um...
I'm so sorry for your loss.

I know what that means.
I lost my brother, too,

and I cannot even imagine
what it is to lose a twin,

because that bond has to be
something unexplainable.

- I'm sorry for your loss.

- I love all the feeling
that you gave to your song.

I love your song.

And I love that
it was your song.

- * I love you in a place *

* Where there's no space
or time *

- I loved it, Wyn.
- Thank you.

- You have
such a different voice.

The tone of your voice
is so different.

And this song.

Simon, how can we make this
a hit?

This song is so good.

- I think he'll do that.

- Also, your high notes.
You were just so free.

Just belting it out.
It was so good. You're good.

You're good, Wyn!
- Thank you.

- * We're alone now *

- [exhales sharply]

- We always say every year,
don't we?

We meet the most incredible
people on this show,

and now we've met you.

And honestly,
you're brilliant, Wyn.

And we all saw,
for obvious reasons,

how emotional you were.

And then you took a beat,

and then that song,
it was extraordinary.

It really was.

And I think it was the perfect
tribute to your brother.

Genuinely.
- Thank you, Simon.

- And I think this could be

a life-changing moment for you.
I really hope that.

- * I know your image of me
is what I hoped to be *

- And another standing O!

- * I treated you unkindly *

* But, darling,
can't you see? *

- Okay.

I think I know
where this is going,

but we have to do it.

We're gonna vote. Heidi.

- Wyn, it's a big,
fat yes for me!

- Sofía?
- Yes!

- You know
where this is going, Wyn.

You got three yeses.
Congratulations.

- * We're alone and now
I'm singing this song *

- Well done!
- * To you *

- Wyn, come here, man.
[laughs]

- You know what?
He had real goodness about him.

- Yeah.
Your eyeballs were watering.

- It was beautiful.

- * I'm singing this song
to you *
