Stop it!

- And I... and when I saw that, I said,

oh, my God, this is so amazing.

Yeah, but in Dominican Republic,

we don't have a lot of studio pole of aerialists.

So I watch videos and everything,

and I try to make something different with my talent.

- Howie, what did you think?

- I think we just watched a zombie a-pole-calypse.

Thank you.

- Right?

We have seen pole dancing, contortionists,

amazing makeup, but you have combined all of those things

into one original surprising...

- Yeah.

- Amazing season 18 spectacular.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- I have to admit, when you popped up,

I peed myself a little bit.

Obviously, I love Halloween, so this is right up my alley.

- Thank you. - I love you.

- Thank you.

- Simon, did you like it?

- Weirdly, I loved everything, from being scared...

- Yes. - To being surprised.

It was a little bit creepy, but in a good way.

People are gonna remember you.

- Thank you!

Thank you.

- My vote is yes.

- Tonight, you just blew me away.

- Agh!

- You left Simon speechless.

- Yo. - Yo, there it is.

- This is where it's at, y'all. - Ah!

"America's Got Talent."

We up in here, y'all.

- Whoo!

- Hi, everyone. - Hello.

- Who are you guys?

- We are the Freedom Singers.

- So why did you give yourself the title the Freedom Singers?

It's interesting to me.

- Go ahead, Pete.

- Yeah, so we're located not far from here

in a community called Skid Row, right.

Skid Row is in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles,

where five people per day die on the streets,

houseless people.

And so for us, freedom singing brings us close together.

It is that medium that we've always used

to come together as Americans.

- Ah.

And how did you meet?

- Well, we all are part

of the Los Angeles Community Action Network.

And they have an arts and culture department there,

and that's how the core group got together.

- Are you houseless in Skid Row?

- Not anymore, but I was.

Me and my mother, we were both houseless on Skid Row,

which is... it was very traumatizing going

through the loss and being out there in the elements,

and especially with the city officials coming

and taking away all of our personal belongings

and leaving us there with nothing.

I'm so blessed that I found

the Los Angeles Community Action Network

because they gave me a voice

and an opportunity to rebuild myself.

And through them, we are housed, my mother and I.

- All right.

So why "America's Got Talent"?

- So we represent a lot of things.

Some people who were houseless,

maybe who have come to transitional housing,

some who have lost folks that are houseless.

Excuse me.

And, um...

and so when we see someone on the street,

I want to encourage you not to look the other way.

- Thank you for sharing all of that with us.

We're rooting for you already. Good luck to you all.

- Thank you.

- Here we go.

It made me emotional.

This was a great audition.

Congratulations.

Well done.

Howie, what did you think?

- You know, the unhoused is much more

than just an LA problem.

It's a national problem, maybe even a world problem.

And you have given it a voice.

And you have given us a purpose.

And it's a message.

This was more than just a song, more than an audition.

It was needed.

And thank you for informing, entertaining,

and blowing the roof off this place.

- Absolutely.

- Sofía, what did you think?

- I loved it. It was amazing.

I think you guys are going to go

very far in this competition

because this is what AGT's all about.

- Simon, what did you think?

- I thought the performance was brilliant.

It was raw.

It was real.

I loved the vocals.

I loved your chemistry, your friendship.

How are you? - I'm good, sir.

- Simon.

Who are you?

- My name is Rahul Yadav.

And our group name is Warrior Squad.

And we are from India.

And...

A small village called Kanhai in Gurugram City.

And the state is Haryana.

- OK, what was the reason for putting the group together?

Tell me, please.

- Basically, sir, my name is...

- Simon.

- OK, Simon.

I created this group because some of the students

near my village really have a good talent,

but they were not having supporting hands.

And so we founded the Warriors India Foundation,

in which we are giving training free of cost.

Our age group is 14 to 30.

The youngest is Shivam, 14.

I am the 30.

- Is this is your first time in America?

- First time in America.

This is the farthest we are coming to perform.

This is the biggest platform, "America's Got Talent."

So we are here to show our talent to the world.

your lives on this show.

the ability to move that pyramid

at the same time was something that I have never seen before.

- Thank you, sir.

- I think tonight, you just raised the bar.

- Yes! - Whoo!

- I am blown away by this act

because it was like a machine.

Every single part had to work together.

It was unbelievable.

And you lot are very brave.

OK, we're gonna vote.

Howie? - Yes.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- My name is Dani Carr.

- And where are you from, Dani?

- I am from all the way on the East Coast,

Statesville, North Carolina.

- I'm guessing you're a singer.

- Yes, sir, a singer-songwriter.

- How long have you been doing this for?

- I have loved music ever since I was little,

ever since I was really young,

but I didn't get the courage to do it until I was 17,

so about six years ago.

And I'm curious, actually.

What do you think about the music business right now

for people like yourself?

- I feel like a lot of people have gotten away

from being real humans in music,

and I'm just here to do that and let people know

that we're still human, we're still us.

You know, it's not all robots doing it.

- And you're real, which is great.

- Thank you.

- OK, so you ready for this?

We hope.

- I mean, do you feel confident?

- When I was a little kid, I never thought

that I would even have the courage to sing

in front of one person.

And it's just... It's so crazy to be here.

It's a dream come true.

- OK, look. We are really rooting for you.

So we're all wishing you the best of luck.

And we're really looking forward to hearing you.

- I am Zeep Glorp from Xenon

in the Andromeda Galaxy.

- OK.

Is that far away from here?

- It is incredibly far away for humans.

- And you are here at "AGT" because?

- I am a ventriloquist.

Both: Ah. - Oh, wow.

- And you are a hot dog at the same time?

- Yes, the hot dog, I have determined,

is aesthetically pleasing to Americans.

That is why I have put this on.

Do you feel comfortable?

- Yes. - Yes.

- I love hot dogs too! - Actually, I am.

Weirdly, I'm very comfortable with his hot dog outfit.

- When it comes to this contest,

when it comes to "America's Got Talent,"

do you think you could be a wiener?

- Yes, I will win this competition easily.

- And then what?

Where do you want to go with all of this?

- Well, I learned that humanity was very sad.

They needed a message of hope.

- No, no, no, no.

I mean, what do you want to do with your act,

not with humanity.

Do you want to go to Vegas?

Do you want to go to the circus?

Where?

- Oh, my goal is to take

the American dollars and donate them to all in need.

- All right. - OK, go ahead with your act.

Thank you.

- I will now go get the star of the show.

Do not worry, humans.

There will be no probing.

- Pooping? - No what?

There's no pooping?

- Probing.

You say, hello, Boots.

The world is really hard right now,

but I am here to share a message of positivity,

or as I like to say, peace-ativity.

- No, I want to go with him!

- I have a message for each of the judges.

Heidi, you know you're not just a pretty face.

I'm gonna be clear...

- This is coming from someone that knows of ventriloquism.

You cannot say you're a ventriloquist

when you have a mask on.

- Simon.

Simon, please.

- Simon, what did you think?

- What do I think?

I think that is the worst act we have seen this year

on the show by a mile.

- Please, Simon.

- Everything about that was terrible.

Even your voice was annoying.

- Simon, you didn't like my voice?

I'm going to curse you.

You are cursed, Simon.

You are cursed, Simon.

You didn't like my voice?

You are cursed, Simon.

- Oh, wow, wow.

Well, I... you know, I think that the humanity

wasn't ready for your answers, the things you had to say.

- What was that?

- Take me to your leader. - I will.

- Later.

Like... OK.

- We are back!

And, listen, I've got to let you guys in on something.

Simon has lost his voice.

OK?

So we're trying to make it through here.

- Simon, what do you think?

Too bad you can't speak today.

- Ah, yeah.

Does that mean that I'm enjoying this a little bit?

- I want you guys to have fun on stage.

We are 64 dancers.

We travel all the way from France to be going on stage

in "America's Got Talent."

We dream a lot because the most famous artists

are from the U.S.

So we try to make something really beautiful and unique.

- We work a lot of hours of training together.

- Because this movement needs to be really precise.

- It's like we're family.

- Actually, a lot of them are like really...

- Really family. - Real family.

- Mother.

- Son, brother, sister.

Winning "America's Got Talent"

will change the life of everyone.

It will allow us to perform in Vegas.

- All of our dancers dream to be professional dancers.

- The group was created few years ago

by my brother Sadeck.

Normally, Sadeck would perform on stage with us,

but unfortunately, he cannot because he's sick.

- Our first job will be to make you proud.

- I'm with you.

- OK, brother.

We feel really, really blessed to be here.

So this one is a new piece that we create

just for "America's Got Talent."

And I hope it will allow us to reach the stars.

We are there to win.

- Yes.

- Hello.

- Hello, hello, everyone. - Hello, Hello.

So tell us, what's your name and where are you from?

- My name is Jibril Maillot.

I'm 32 years old.

And I'm from France.

- Bonjour!

Welcome. - Bonjour, ca va?

- And what is your talent?

- I bring some friends.

And we are there to represent the new creation

of my brother Sadeck, who created this piece.

We call that Murmuration.

And we bring 65 dancers on stage.

- Ooh, that sounds very nice.

I don't think we've ever had anything like that before.

I'm very excited to meet all your friends.

Good luck to you. - Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- Look at all the people.

- Wow.

- It keeps going.

- There's a lot.

- 65.

- Ooh.

- They're gonna be blindfolded?

- Ah.

- Oh.

- Wow.

- Whoo! Yeah!

- Bravo!

- Murmuration!

- Wow.

- Wow.

I mean, you guys were so amazingly in sync,

even though you couldn't see anything.

- Yeah. - Yes.

- And there's so many of you,

but it was so elegant with so much grace.

I thought it was fantastic.

- Thank you so much.

- Sofía, what did you think?

- I think that kind of synchronization, it's...

I mean, amazing to me.

It's spectacular.

- Thank you so much.

- At the beginning, it reminded me

of my Golden Buzzer last year, the Mayyas.

But you guys have your own style,

and I thought it was magnificent.

- Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- Well, I was mesmerized.

I find what you do hypnotic.

And I think it's very original.

And I find it almost more magnificent

when you get a large group of people,

and the movements are smaller but perfect.

- Yes. - You know?

It blew me away.

- Whoo!

- Even sitting here, you want to do something.

I want to do something.

You can come with us.

- I just want to...

I want to... like, I don't know.

You're mesmerizing. You're original.

You just moved me.

- Thank you so much!

- OK, here we go, guys. Clearing stage.

- It's a tough act to follow.

- Exciting things here tonight, everyone!

- So what do you guys do?

- I'm a comedian. - Yeah, me too.

- Oh, my God.

That's hysterical. - Are you a comedian too?

- I am. - Oh.

- Audience, are we ready for our next act?

- Hi. How are you?

- I'm good. Thank you.

- What is your name?

My name is Charles.

And I'm here to do some stand-up comedy.

- Bravo. How old are you?

- I'm 29.

- How long have you been a comedian?

- You know, I still have a day job and stuff,

but I've been doing it for ten whole years.

- What is that day job that you do?

- I'm a yo-yo salesmen.

- A what?

- I sell yo-yos.

- It's not very popular anymore.

- Yeah, the boom's over.

Um...

If anyone needs a yo-yo.

- OK, let's see what you've got tonight.

- Thank you. I appreciate that.

Thanks, guys.

I like to gamble a lot, and so I take the bus.

What happened to me recently... You guys know how, like,

the front of a bus has those racks to put your...

It's like for when you want to ride your bike

but also give up.

The other day, I put my bike on the bus,

and then I got on the bus,

but then I forgot about my bike.

But I tried to get that bike back.

And the bus company, they didn't care.

You know what I mean?

But don't worry because I still got my vengeance.

Fast forward a little while,

I ended up having this old rusted bicycle

that was now garbage.

So what I did, I put the bike on the bus

and then I got on the bus.

And then, I got the heck off the bus.

I don't know if you're booing me or Simon, honestly.

I don't know.

Hey, it's OK. I got one more joke.

- Thank you. - Thank you very much, OK.

- Thank you, Charles.

- Where are you from?

- I'm from Canada.

He paved the way for me to have that set.

- Credit where credit is due.

- Heidi, what did you think?

- Well, when you're not doing a comedy bit,

I think you're funnier.

- Is there an award for that, or...

- We're gonna vote.

Simon?

- I'm afraid it's a no. - Me?

No. Heidi?

- It's a no from me too. Sorry.

- And Howie? - Yo-yo, no.

- OK, you might see me again still.

Thank you.

- You ready? - Am I ready?

Yes, all right. - It's time, it's time.

Here we go.

- He's been doing it for ten years.

- Yeah, but... - He just needs one more year.

- One more year, and I think he's got it.

- Welcome, welcome, welcome. - Thank you for having me.

- Who are you, and where are you from?

- My name is Maureen Langan.

I live in Manhattan,

but I grew up in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey,

where there is no lake.

- Tell us, what will you be doing for us today?

- I am a stand-up comedian.

- What got you into comedy?

- Well, I say a gift from God, but really...

it's... you grow up in a big Irish Catholic family

with five siblings, you're always taking the crap

out of each other, and it's just part of a natural wit.

I think. You'll see.

- OK, the stage is yours.

Have fun. - Thank you.

- And hopefully, we have some fun with you.

- Whoo!

I don't want to hate people. They make me hate them.

I'm all about love.

You feel that immediately with me.

But I was on the airplane coming here.

A woman in the seat behind me, she gets up,

and she starts spritzing cinnamon.

I go, "Lady, what are you doing?"

She goes, "Well, it's natural."

I go, "So is my butt,

but I'm not putting it in your face."

I didn't want to hate her. She made me hate her.

Do you see what's happening there?

- Yes. - I'm a victim.

I had a car accident recently. I'm all right, don't worry.

Young guy, stoned out of his mind,

on his cell phone, music blaring,

looked a lot like you.

Gets out of his car... you know, with the man bun?

"Dude, I don't know what happened, dude."

I'm like, "Oh, what happened is, in 1999,

your mother forgot her birth control."

- Oh!

- That's what happened, dude.

But wait a minute.

I didn't want to say that. He made me say it.

I was a victim. I was victimized.

OK, so truth be told, I am at that age,

post-period, pre-death.

That's my age range. Here it is.

I don't want to be a cougar. Absolutely not.

I don't need some young hot guy named Chad

touching my belly fat, going, "Ooh, what's this?"

What's this? This is rage.

Rage.

Covered by affordable treats and wine from Trader Joe's.

That's what this is.

We're not going here, baby.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

You know what I want? This is what I want.

I want a guy around 86 years old,

where I am the hottest thing between him and death.

He can't believe he got me because he knows

he'll never get anyone better till the day he... dies.

And he's not looking over his shoulder

for somebody younger and hotter.

You know why? He has arthritis in his neck.

He can't move his neck.

And he sees none of my flaws.

He sees no cellulite, belly fat, varicose veins.

Why? Cataracts.

Cataracts.

And you know what? Let me tell you something.

I love him.

And I look into his milky white eyes,

and I say, "I love you!"

Because he's hard of hearing, and I want him to know

because I'm all about love.

Thanks, you guys. I'm Maureen Langan.

Thank you.

You just have the next one coming and the next one coming.

- What about you, Sofía?

- It was fascinating.

Your energy, the way that you control the stage.

You didn't miss one beat. You know your material.

- She has, like, the body for it too.

- She was so comfortable. - Yeah.

- You feel like you need to be, like, on a TV show.

- Actually...

- Yes.

- You have a voice where we can hear you,

and we can hear your rhythm, and we can hear your attitude.

And we love it, and we connect with it.

I think people not only are gonna love you.

They will imitate you. They'll want to see you.

You have catchphrases. - Yes.

- You have everything in that arsenal

that a great comedian needs.

You are ready to explode.

- Thank you.

- I wanted to love you, and I did love you.

- More women in comedy!

- Let's vote.

I'm gonna give you your first yes.

You were fantastic. Howie?

- Second yes. - Sofía?

- I think people are gonna love you.

Yes. - Simon?

- Yes. - Four yeses!

- Four yeses!

- More of that!

- Yeah! - Whoo!

- Super funny.

- She really nailed it.

- I love when funny works.

- You were fantastic.

- Ah, just touches your soul. I mean, you know.

- Oh, my God, you could literally drop your mic.

- Bam! - The people were all over you.

- So original, so much fun.

- Agh!

- What's the prognosis?

How much longer till you can speak?

- Hi, what is your name? - Hi, nice to meet you.

I'm Anna DeGuzman. - Anna.

- Yes.

I grew up in a small town

outside of New York called New Jersey.

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

- I'm gonna be doing magic. - Wow.

- I would love to do a show in Vegas

because there's actually never been

a female headlining magician on the Strip.

- Yes, they are normal everyday cards.

- Who would you say was your biggest influence?

- Shin Lim, actually.

I used to watch his YouTube videos

when I was getting started.

He set the bar really high,

so hopefully I can represent.

I'm going on soon, and I'm a little nervous.

- My mom is the stereotypical Filipino mom

that wanted me to be a nurse.

You know, she has her hesitations about magic,

but this is a real career.

So performing on the biggest stage on Earth

and winning would give her that reassurance

that I'm going to be just fine, I've made it.

I made it on "America's Got Talent,"

and I can make it anywhere.

- Let's make it happen, Anna. I'm with you.

- Good evening. How are you?

- I'm good. How are you?

- Are you super nervous?

- A little, but excited nervous.

I really care about this.

- And who are you? What is your name?

- My name is Anna DeGuzman.

- And what do you do, Anna?

- I do magic. - Magic?

- Wow.

- How is it that there's not many women that are magicians,

that like to do magic?

- I know. I'm one of the few.

And I hope to inspire more girls tonight.

- I wanna be like her when I grow up.

- How long have you been doing this?

- I've been doing it for around like five or six years,

but I feel like my whole life,

magical things happen all the time.

- And how old are you?

- I'm 24 now.

- You're a baby.

- Ah, thank you.

- And Simon can't talk tonight, but I'm sure he's going

to want to ask you if you have any pets.

- I've never had a pet because I moved around a lot.

But hopefully if I win, I would love to get a dog

that I want to put in the act.

- Oh, fantastic.

OK, we're ready for you, and we're so excited

that you came tonight to "AGT."

- Thank you for having me.

Let's go.

Judges, may I join you up at your desk?

- Of course.

- My biggest fear is falling down those stairs.

Hi.

I have a gift for this cutie right here.

Sofía, could you hold on to that for me?

Put it away. Put it away.

- Here? - Anywhere safe.

Yeah, somewhere I can't get to it.

Yeah, right there. I'll never touch it, I promise.

Now, growing up as an only child with a single mother,

I spent a lot of time alone learning

how to entertain myself.

When I found my first deck of cards...

I was instantly captivated by the magic

they seem to possess.

I became obsessed with this thing called cardistry.

It's the manipulation of playing cards.

- Whoa!

- What the heck?

- Simon, can you shuffle these cards as good as I do?

Don't worry.

I didn't expect you to, but do your best.

- Now, I know you've seen a ton of great magic

here on this stage before, so I wanted to create something

special just for America

where I don't even touch the cards.

But before I do that, Simon, I'll take these back.

Good.

One more?

Ooh, fancy.

Howie, I'm gonna riffle through the side of the cards.

Just say stop whenever it feels right to you.

- Stop.

- Lock the card in your brain. - OK.

- Memorize it. - I got it.

- Now, the reason I had you shuffle, Simon,

is because a lot of people think

my shuffling is suspicious,

even though I think it's pretty fair.

You can actually see each card one by one.

- Wow.

- Oh, my goodness.

- Howie? - What?

Wow. - Ooh.

- What was the card?

- Two of spades.

- The two of spades!

- What? - Whoa.

- That was incredible. - Wait.

Heidi? - Yes?

- I want you to think of a number between 1 and 52.

You can say the number out loud.

- Ten. - Ten.

Pshh.

- Sofía, you've been holding on to these cards

before we even started.

- I have.

They have a plastic on it.

- Go ahead and take the cards carefully out of the box.

Sofía, Heidi was thinking of the number ten.

Deal down ten cards for us.

One... face up, two, and we'll all count together.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Now show everybody the two of spades!

That's so nice! - Oh!

- Show it to everyone!

That's right, the two of spades!

- ♪ Every time I touch that track, it turns into gold ♪

- I did not think it was gonna work!

I thought I messed that one up!

But everything's fine. Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

I honestly didn't think it was gonna work at the end,

so I fooled myself.

- There's nothing more exciting

when the magician amazes themselves.

- Well, hopefully, I amazed all of you as well.

- Can I just say something?

You are real.

The fact that you were so nervous and not slick

added to what we were doing.

It was the most adorable, fun, magical thing

I have seen so far this season.

- Heidi, what did you think?

- I agree with Howie.

You're totally a breath of fresh air.

You showed us some magic that I have not seen before.

- And apparently, neither has she.

- And you have a million dollar smile on that face.

- Thanks.

- So Simon thinks you're annoying...

- Likeable, brilliant.

- Anna, we're gonna start voting.

Simon?

- Yes. - Howie?

- Yes! - Heidi?

- Yes! - Yes!

- Yeah! - Bravo!

- Thank you! Thank you so much.

I've never... I can't even imagine mixing

those two skills together.

That's so original, so much fun.

You are a beautiful young lady with a beautiful voice

and amazing crazy skill.

- Oh, my gosh, that means the world.

- Okay, here we go.

- Hi!

- Hello. How are you?

- I'm well. How are you guys?

- We're good. What is your name?

- My name is Thomas Vu.

I am 35 years old, from Orange County, California.

- Why "AGT," Thomas?

- I came to show you guys a really cool way

to solve a Rubik's Cube.

Both: Oh!

- Do you think you can win "AGT" with your little cube?

That sounded weird, but, no, can you...

- I might have a shot.

- Why did you start doing Rubik's Cubes?

- It was actually just for fun.

I was at work one day. I saw my friend doing it.

I was like, "Hey, can you teach me?"

And then it was an obsession ever since.

- How fast can you do it?

- I can solve it in under 30 seconds.

- What? - Not bad.

- Oh, wow, OK. - Can you sing?

- Thankfully, I cannot sing.

- So are you gonna do it tonight in 30 seconds?

- Yeah, yeah, I'll show you guys.

I'm gonna go finish getting ready.

In the meantime, I'd love for Terry to scramble the cube.

- Do you need to change for that?

- It's a slight adjustment.

Be right back.

- What could he possibly change into right now?

- I always wanted to do this.

This is crazy.

- Thank you, sir.

- All right.

- Oh, my goodness.

- Agh!

- Why?

- He's on fire!

- Agh!

I can't take it.

- Oh, my God!

- Oh!

- His clothes are burning.

Oh, no!

No!

- Hurry!

- This is not good.

- You're still, uh, simmering.

- How was that?

- That was unbelievable.

- Can I make a suggestion?

- Yeah.

- Just sing.

It's so scary.

It made us look at each other, going, oh, my God,

something's gonna go wrong.

But you survived, and that is amazing.

- Heidi?

- Like you, I mean, I couldn't look way.

It was crazy.

I mean, you really are fearless.

- Simon says he thought that it was going badly

and that something was gonna happen wrong,

but it made it a big surprise.

He's saying, I'm going to give you the first yes.

So I guess we started to vote.

Howie?

- My vote is yes.

- Well, I was scared.

It's gonna have to be a no from me.

- Aww.

I mean, how can you say no to a man that sets himself

on fire doing a Rubik's Cube?

Third yes from me.

- Thank you.

- Congratulations.

You've got three yeses.

- Oh, my God!

It's still on.

- Wow, wow, man.

That was incredible.

- You're like smores.

Dude, that was absolutely insane.

Look at that, guys.

Check out. The clothes are really burnt.

This is nuts.

- That looked crazy, you know? I mean...

- Not really.

- Really? - No.

- That wasn't crazy to you?

- What's it like growing up in Colombia

if that doesn't look crazy to you?
