- You just lit up

this whole entire room.

- I am slightly starstruck.

I'm going to be honest

with you right now.

- Only two more acts

can go through,

and you should be in the final.

- You are so incredible,

and I hope that the 50 states

are going to vote for you.

- Tonight, this is feeling

like the Olympics.

It's, like, the best

of the best of the best,

and you are a true star and a

great champion, you really are.

- I can do anything

If I can live

through this

If I can live

through this

you are the champion.

- Mind blown.

- What just happened?

- I tell you what,

if I had a Golden Buzzer,

I would be slamming it

right now.

[cheers and applause]

- Champion, champion

- Please welcome the host of

"America's Got Talent:

The Champions," Terry Crews!

[upbeat music]

- Are you ready?

Now, listen up.

The finals are next week.

Yes!

So this is the last chance

for acts to grab a spot.

Ten acts are coming up tonight,

and they are ten

of the very best acts

on the planet.

Whoo!

Now, they're fighting

for two spots in the finals.

One will go

to tonight's Golden Buzzer,

which will be chosen

by yours truly!

It's me, yes!

- I'm so excited,

and I just can't--

- What do you think

Terry Crews is into?

Do you think he's into--

- I--I don't know.

- You think he's into fat guys

that sing Sinatra, or?

- [laughs]

- Now, the other finalist

will be voted through

by our panel of superfans

from all 50 states of America.

Yes, and of course,

make some noise

for your

"AGT: Champions" judges!

- I'm so excited

- Can I just say,

has anybody told you

that you can really dance?

- Oh, no, I'm the best dancer

in the world.

- You are properly

giving it some sauce!

- I'm so excited

And I just can't hide it

And I know, I know, I know,

I know, I know

I want to, I want you

- Whoa!

- Look what you do to me

You got me burning up

- Okay, look.

[laughs]

Do you want

the world's best, huh?

We got it right here.

Ten acts are coming up.

Only two can go

into the finals.

It's about to get serious.

It's "America's Got Talent:

The Champions."

[cheers and applause]

- What you do to me

- I'm about to lose control,

and I think I like it

- [snorts]

Listen to me snort.

- Oh, my God.

Get her a tissue or something.

What are you doing

with your fingers?

- [laughs]

- This is it.

For all the marbles.

- There's so much energy

in that room tonight.

- Oh, yeah.

They're all so hyped.

- Mm-hmm.

- We have to go out

and show them what we got.

Are you ready?

all: Yes!

- Yes.

We are Attraction.

We are a shadow dance group

from Hungary.

We are the winner of "Britain's

Got Talent" season seven.

[cheers and applause]

You know, when

I created Attraction,

I always had the dream

to create something big.

[soft music]

- We've just seen

one of the most amazing things

I've ever seen in this show.

It really moved me.

[cheers and applause]

- In each run, we wanted

to show a new story.

- You really know how to pull

at the heartstrings,

I've got to tell you.

- Thank you.

We never, never thought

we would win

"Britain's Got Talent."

- Attraction!

[cheers and applause]

- It was unbelievable.

[laughs]

Now, Attraction has been able

to perform all over the world,

and we have over

200 million YouTube views.

[dramatic music]

Being here in "The Champions,"

this is the best of the best.

This is a big pressure.

We hope that Simon

can see how we've grown,

and it will be an honor

to win again.

[cheers and applause]

- Here we go.

["I Lived" by OneRepublic]

- Hope when you

take that jump

You don't fear the fall

Hope when the water rises

both: Wow.

- You built a wall

Hope when

the crowd screams out

They're screaming

your name

Hope if everybody runs,

you choose to stay

Hope that

you spend your days

That they all add up

And then when that sun

goes down

Hope you raise your cup

Oh, I wish

that I could witness

- All your joy

and all your pain

But until my moment comes,

I'll say

I, I did it all

- That's the bell,

the Liberty Bell.

- I, I did it all

I owned every second

that this world could give

I saw so many places,

the things that I did

Yeah, with every

broken bone

I swear, I lived

- Wow.

- With every broken bone

- I swear, I lived

- With every broken bone

- I swear, I lived

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second

that this world could give

I saw so many places

and things that I did

With every broken bone,

I swear, I lived

- Wow.

- I swear, I lived

[cheers and applause]

- Wow, that was good.

- Beautiful.

- Incredible, guys.

Incredible, incredible.

Howie?

- You know, in all my years

on "America's Got Talent,"

we've seen some--

I don't know, would we

call it shadow dancing?

I've never seen one

more concise, more emotional.

You just make my heart burst.

You are a champion.

I realize only two

can go through.

I wish you the best of luck.

- Thank you.

Thank you very much, thank you.

- You know what?

That was just brilliant.

I mean, brilliant,

brilliant, brilliant,

on every single level.

You just hit--

- Thank you.

- Everything--

- Thank you so much.

Thank you.

- Perfectly.

Well done, guys.

- It was an absolute

flawless performance.

I love your imagination.

I love your storytelling.

Well done.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Uh, guys, I remember the

first time we saw you.

I'm seeing this now

in a different context

because you're competing

with the very best.

Tell me what it feels like to

be competing with the world.

- It's amazing.

So, this is

the biggest stage in the world,

and we try our best.

We are so proud to be here.

Thank you, we love you.

- Well, I'm going to say,

this reminded me once again

how amazing you are.

- Thank you, it's privilege

for us to be here.

- So good.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- You did amazing, guys.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- And now,

the nerves are kicking in.

- Yeah.

- Ooh.

- Come on over.

Oh, my God, Attraction!

Come on in!

That was absolutely fantastic.

[dramatic music]

- Oh, my God!

- Hi!

- Jackie Evancho.

OMG.

- [laughs]

[soft music]

My name is Jackie Evancho.

I'm from

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

and I'm the runner-up

on "America's Got Talent"

season five.

- Last time you were on

"America's Got Talent,"

you were 10 years old.

- Yes.

- How old are you now?

- I'm 18 now.

- All grown up.

- Yeah.

When I was on

"America's Got Talent"

as a 10-year-old little girl,

everything felt like a movie.

I still remember

walking out on that stage

for the first time

and thinking

"this is my chance to shine."

[singing Italian]

- All we want to do

is find that one moment,

that one star,

and you know what?

This is the moment,

you're the star.

- I remember standing on the

stage next to Michael Grimm,

and I really felt like

America was on my side.

- Michael Grimm!

- It was certainly a night of

surprise and disappointment

for Pittsburgh's own

Jackie Evancho

as Jackie learned

that she was not the winner,

and Michael Grimm

took home the grand prize.

- When I didn't win,

I, at the time,

was assuming

that I was going to be

just going back home

to my normal life,

playing with my pets.

But my life completely changed

after "America's Got Talent."

[bright music]

I was performing

all over the place.

Japan, Russia, London.

- Please welcome

Jackie Evancho.

- As a 10-year-old,

it was crazy.

- It's not often a 10-year-old

can capture the attention

of millions of people

around the world.

- I was able to record

a bunch of albums

that actually went

platinum and gold.

I'm the youngest solo singer

to go platinum.

- Jackie Evancho may just be

the next big thing.

- Do you know how many times

people have been--"you won!"

I'm, like,

"No, I didn't, but thanks."

[laughs]

Being on "America's Got

Talent: The Champions,"

it's a big deal

for me personally.

Ever since I came

in second place,

I wanted to have one more shot.

If I was named the winner,

it'd be, like,

redeeming the first round,

and that is exactly

what I'm going to do.

[cheers and applause]

["The Music of the Night"

by Andrew Lloyd Webber]

- Nighttime sharpens

Heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs

And wakes imagination

Silently the senses

Abandon their defenses

Helpless to resist

The notes I write

For I compose

The music of the

Night

[vocalizing]

You alone can

Make my song take flight

Help me make the music

Of the

Night

[cheers and applause]

- The whole house

is on its feet!

- Welcome home.

- Thank you.

It's great to be back.

- Mel.

- I mean, you have

the voice of an angel.

I'm sure you've been told this

many, many times.

- Thank you.

- It's just

stunningly beautiful,

as are you to look at, too.

- Thank you.

- You know, we do

have people, you know.

They come on this show as kids,

and then, for whatever reason,

over time,

they lose whatever they had

in the first place.

But you have actually

got better.

- Oh, thank you.

- Uh, in my definition,

that is a champion.

That was outstanding.

- Thank you so much.

- Really.

- Thank you.

- You know what, you exemplify

exactly what this show is.

You know, people show up

on "America's Got Talent,"

and I'm sure they've got talent

all over the world

with hopes and dreams

of achieving a career,

and that all happened.

And I got to tell you,

tonight was truly amazing.

I hope you're one of the two

that America votes through.

All the best, young lady.

- Thank you so much.

- Jackie Evancho,

amazing performance!

- Thank you.

- You wowed the judges.

- Isn't it amazing

what she's done

since she was on the show?

- Six albums.

- I didn't understand

how much I missed it

until I was on that stage

again, and it's just home.

[dramatic music]

- Oh!

Wow.

- Hello.

- Colin Cloud.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Welcome, Colin.

- Hello, thank you

for having me.

- So we saw you two years ago.

- You did.

- On "America's Got Talent."

So what made you come back?

- Uh, two years ago,

you may remember,

I got very, very close

to being in the final,

and I just didn't

make it through.

- Can I be honest

with you, Colin?

- Yep.

- I was really disappointed,

because I thought

you were doing so well.

You deserved a second chance.

- Wow, thank you, thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[dramatic music]

I'm Colin Cloud,

and I have been described

as the real life

Sherlock Holmes.

A man who could

look at anyone,

and immediately know

everything about them.

It's genuinely

all based in psychology,

and being able to read people.

- Is the coin in this hand?

- Yes.

- Is the coin in this hand?

- Yes.

- Now, when he meant it,

his eyebrows raised slightly.

Your nose is also pointing

slightly here,

so I believe it's in this hand.

Yes, yes, there it is.

- You're amazing, young man.

- Thank you kindly, sir.

As we went round to round,

the caliber of talent

just kept rising.

- Ellen, Rome, cheese.

- In the semifinals,

it came down to

either myself or Diavolo making

it through to the finals.

- Diavolo is going

to the finals!

- For that to be pulled away,

I was gutted.

It was really tough.

Since "America's Got Talent,"

I have been lucky enough

to perform and travel

all over the world.

But even with

all of that success,

that missed opportunity

still haunts me to this day.

To now have

this second chance,

I am excited beyond belief.

I want to prove to the judges

that not only

do I deserve

to be in the final,

but I also have what it takes

to win this competition.

[whimsical music]

Something that I have

thought a lot about

before coming back

to this competition

is am I good enough?

Self-reflection

is only natural,

and as human beings,

it usually begins

with us comparing ourselves

to someone else.

As a kid, for me,

it was Sherlock Holmes,

a man who could

deduce, influence,

and predict human behavior.

Allow me to demonstrate.

I want every single person

in the room right now

to think of any celebrity.

To make sure that I cannot read

anyone else's body language,

can I ask you

all now please to put on

the Colin Cloud mask

that you were given

as you entered the theater.

- Oh, that's--that's weird.

- That's funny, oh!

- Can I just say,

best cult ever.

[laughter]

- That is so weird-looking.

Ew.

- Everyone right now

is thinking of a celebrity

at random.

You three in a moment are going

to pick one of those people.

The way you're going to do that

is by throwing out

this paper with an X.

Now, to make sure it's random,

there's also a bowl

full of blank pieces of paper.

We'll drop in the X.

What I would love

the three of you to do

is take all

the pieces of paper,

and throw them

into the audience.

Audience, what you're

then going to do

is mix them until

Simon, Heidi, and Mel

have hit their buzzers.

So keep mixing,

throw the bits of paper.

Throw the bits of paper.

Keep mixing.

Give them a second.

Let's get a good mix.

Throw them all around the room.

Whenever you would like,

Simon, Mel, Heidi,

hit your buzzer, then stop

throwing immediately.

[buzzer]

Stop mixing.

If you have a ball of paper

right now,

quickly un-ball it, and the

person with the X, get ready.

Howie, whilst we do that,

I would love you to think

of a letter and a number.

Don't say it, just think.

- Okay, all right.

- Close your eyes

for me, please, sir,

and imagine--imagine the number

floating in the air.

- Okay.

- And imagine--good.

The letter above it,

the number beneath.

I'm going to write something

on my hand,

so please keep

your eyes closed.

- All right.

- I don't want anyone to think

you're watching

how the pen is moving.

I have written down

one letter and one number.

Howie, you can

open up your eyes.

What letter

are you thinking of?

- An L.

- L.

What number

are you thinking of?

- Three.

- Three.

L, 3.

Yes.

- Are you kidding me?

- Now.

- How did he do that?

- L3, L3.

Actually, that would be

a seat number in the room.

Here's the thing,

somebody has the X.

Can the person with the X

quickly stand up?

Shout hello.

Over here?

Right, perfect,

perfect, perfect.

Just confirm,

you're not in L3, are you?

- No.

- No, okay.

But you are thinking

of a celebrity, yes?

- Yeah.

- You're--okay.

Take off your mask for me.

Take off your mask.

Whoever is in L3,

can you keep your mask on?

Stand up and wave.

Who is in L3?

Who is in L?

Is there anyone?

Yes, okay.

Wait right there.

You are thinking

of a celebrity.

Howie, listen carefully.

- Okay.

- This is the moment of truth.

She's going to name

a random celebrity.

We don't know each other.

We haven't set anything up.

I have the name

of one celebrity

embroidered on

my pocket square.

If she says who is

on this square, I'm safe.

If I'm wrong, I want you

to hit your buzzer,

and I am

eliminated immediately.

In a loud voice, can you tell

us who are you thinking of?

- David Hasselhoff.

- Sorry, say that again?

- David Hasselhoff.

- David Hasselhoff.

Picked at random.

- Yeah.

- Am I good enough?

- Oh, my God.

- Come on!

What?

- But!

Here's the thing, right?

Any celebrity, any seat.

And yet, L3,

take off your mask.

[dramatic music]

David Hasselhoff!

- [yells]

- Whoo.

- What?

- No way!

- Wow.

- Come on down, David.

- Whoo.

Hey, baby.

- You're back.

How are you?

- What's up, man?

- So good to see you.

- Are you doing all right?

- Good to see you.

Yeah, man.

- Fantastic.

- That's nuts.

- Hey, how was that?

- I was not expecting that...

- I wasn't expecting that.

- At all.

- That was a twist right there.

- How are you?

Good to see you.

- Thank you!

- David Hasselhoff,

ladies and gentleman.

- Thank you.

[laughs]

- This is insane!

- Hello, David.

How's it going?

Thank you so much.

- All right.

- Wow.

- Whoo!

- I'll be ready

- That was incredible.

- This is going to be

a tough competition.

- It's going to be

a tough night, yeah.

- So basically, you can make

any celebrity turn up anywhere?

- Yeah, could I just say,

Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber,

you're off the hook.

You can go home.

[laughter]

- Howie, what did you

think of that?

- Well, here's what I

think of that.

I think you really

stepped up your game.

You really

stepped up your game--

- I agree.

- In every way.

- I think you have absolutely

redeemed yourself tonight.

Uh, it was nothing like

I've ever seen before.

I have no idea how you do it.

It also brings back

great memories

of when we launched

this show with David,

who took a chance on us,

by the way.

And I also want to thank you

for coming back,

because that was incredible.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you, thank you.

- Well done, Colin.

You've got magical powers,

as far as I'm concerned,

and I love you,

you're brilliant.

- Thank you so much, guys.

Thank you, thank you.

- Forever and always

I'm always here

- That performance

would have gotten him

into the finals on "AGT."

- A million percent.

- That was true redemption.

- It was so amazing,

and the fact

that David Hasselhoff

was somewhere else,

and teleported here.

- That's what it is.

That is--that was

the real magic.

- At the right time,

you brought him here.

- Absolutely.

- I'm scared.

- To me, seeing the best

in the world--

- Yeah.

- Is a buzz.

- Yeah?

- And you know what?

They're full up.

- Well, I feel like

I've always been America.

This is, like, global.

- It's like being

on a different planet.

[dramatic music]

- Hello, ladies and gentleman.

- Welcome back, Lee.

- Thanks very much.

- So just to explain, Lee,

who's also known

as the Lost Voice Guy,

won

"Britain's Got Talent" 2018.

- Yes.

- Lee is not only funny.

He's also very naughty.

Uh, how has your life changed

since doing

"Britain's Got Talent"?

- Winning

"Britain's Got Talent"

has completely changed

my life for the better.

I'm also a lot more confident

than I used to be

around other people.

It's almost as if winning

the show has given me a voice

for the first time.

- Aw, good for you.

- Aw.

- My name is Lee Ridley,

but you may also know me

as Lost Voice Guy.

I was the winner of "Britain's

Got Talent" season 12.

I'm a struggling

stand-up comedian

who also struggles

to stand up.

[laughter]

I have cerebral palsy,

which means I walk

like a zombie

out of "The Walking Dead,"

and I'm unable to speak.

- Lost Voice Guy!

[cheers and applause]

- Winning

"Britain's Got Talent"

was such an amazing moment.

It's nice to be stared at

for positive reasons

for a change.

I was diagnosed when I was

six months old.

It was hard growing up

with a disability

because I felt like I was

different to everyone else.

I've always had

this crazy dream

of being a stand-up comedian.

I just thought

it wouldn't be possible.

In my wildest dreams,

I never expected

to be this successful.

I performed in front of

the Royal Family.

I'm writing a book.

I'm also currently on a huge

tour of the United Kingdom.

I am just amazed

that my batteries

haven't ran out yet.

To be at "America's Got

Talent: The Champions"

means an awful lot to me.

This is my first time

performing in America.

To win would be such

a fantastic honor

and it would prove to myself

that I was right

to follow my dreams.

[cheers and applause]

- Well, I'm not going

to say any more, Lee,

because I don't need to.

Just do what you do.

- Yes.

[cheers and applause]

- Raise your hand

if you can tell

that I have

a slight disability.

[laughter]

It's the hair, isn't it?

[laughter]

I've been disabled

most of my life.

In fact, I was disabled

before it was popular.

[laughter]

I'm not here to inspire you.

I'm here because

I love the attention.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

If you are wondering

how I got disabled,

it's because I didn't forward

that chain email

to ten of my closest friends

when I was younger.

[laughter]

I hate that we have so many

politically correct words

to describe

disabled people now.

It's all special needs,

special schools,

Special Olympics.

That is why

it always alarms me

when I hear about

special forces going to war.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

- Yeah.

- I come from a long line

of disabled people.

My great-grandfather

was disabled.

So was my grandfather,

and my father was the same.

At least I assumed

they were disabled

from the way that they walked.

It turns out they were all

just raging alcoholics.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

You've been a

fantastic audience.

Even if you hadn't,

I can't really change

what I say at this point.

Enjoy the rest of your night.

Good-bye.

- Wow.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, I've got to go

to Howie first.

- This is my hero.

So I watch--

you know, I watch you online,

I've been watching you.

You are hysterical, and I said

when I came back here.

I go, how come we can't

have a comic win

"America's Got Talent?"

And you are the example I use.

You are funny and witty

and wonderful,

and you are a champion.

[cheers and applause]

- Heidi?

- I think you're teaching

all of us something today

that you take in an extremely

challenging situation,

and you're finding

the humor in it.

And I hope that the people

from the 50 states

are thinking about this.

Well done.

- Let me tell you, you have

inspired so many people,

and you're a great guy.

You're really funny,

and I am so happy

the American audience

got to experience

what I experienced

on "Britain's Got Talent."

Well done.

- Welcome back.

[laughter]

I missed you.

- Wonder what made him

choose that voice.

It's so proper English.

- Isn't it Simon's voice?

- It sounded a bit like Simon.

I thought the same thing.

- Is it?

- No, it's not.

But it sounded like it.

- It sounded a bit like Simon.

- It was such a thrill to

see you, and they loved you.

- Do you like being romanced?

- Romanced?

Yeah, of course.

- Every girl

likes to be romanced.

- Of course.

- See?

- Then I'm not your man, Heidi.

- You say it like this.

You go "how you doin'?"

- How you doin'?

- How you doin'?

- How you doin'?

- How you doin'?

- How you doin'?

- There you go.

["Ain't That a Kick

in the Head" by Dean Martin]

- How you doin'?

It's Sal "The Voice"

Valentinetti.

23 years old from Long Island,

New York, and I'm a singer.

Hollywood Boulevard, cuz.

Look at this.

The lights, the palm trees.

- The weirdoes on the street.

[laughs]

- Well, you want

to know something, Tommy?

Here, we're kind of weird.

- What are you trying to say?

I don't blend?

Hollywood!

- Before

"America's Got Talent,"

I would deliver pizzas

for my cousin's pizzeria.

How you doin'?

Sing in the restaurant

once in a while.

"America's Got Talent"

was the chance for me.

Heidi Klum, how you doin'?

- Hey, how you doin'?

[sustained long note]

I sang the song, we did the

thing, she hit the button.

Boom!

Confetti, explosions,

Tommy is running.

I have never seen,

before or after that moment,

Tommy ever run again, ever.

[rousing music]

You know, I finally felt like

I had found my place

in the world.

Like, this is what

I was meant to do,

and--and this is who I am.

- Sal Valentinetti!

- You're here to win.

- I was pumped.

I was ready to do it.

- The act finishing in

fifth place, Sal Valentinetti.

[groaning]

- I didn't win

"America's Got Talent,"

but being a finalist

changed my life.

I'm performing in theatres

with some of the

biggest stars.

It's nuts.

There is some feeling of

"Oh, I was so close,

you could almost taste it."

Let's go in.

But to win "America's

Got Talent: Champions"

proves that you're not only

the best in the country.

You're the best in the world.

I want that.

And this time, I didn't

come here to try out.

I came here to win.

[cheers and applause]

- Sal!

- Bravo!

- Sal!

- Heidi, baby!

- Sal, my golden boy.

I don't know

if you guys remember,

but Sal was my Golden Buzzer.

- Yes.

- It was two years ago,

and I love you so much.

- Heidi, I love you.

- No, I love you more.

[laughter]

And now, you have the chance

to be the champion.

- The champion of champions.

[laughter]

- I'm rooting for you.

- Let's do it, Sal.

- Good luck.

- Let's do it.

[cheers and applause]

- Sal Valentinetti,

I love this guy.

I want to go to Sunday dinner

at Sal Valentinetti's house.

["Mack the Knife"

- Oh, the shark has

He has pretty teeth

And he shows them

Them pearly whites

Just a jackknife

Has Old MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it

He keeps it out of sight

- Whoo!

- Now on the sidewalk

One Sunday morning

Lies somebody

Somebody oozing life

But someone sneaking

Coming 'round that corner

Could that, should that

Would that be

Mack the Knife?

Come on.

There's a tugboat down

on the river going slow

With a cement bag

Just sinking on down

Oh, that cement is there

It's there

for the weight, dear

Five'll get you ten,

Now that Mackie's

Oh, Mackie's back in town

Oh, look at old Sal,

he's back

Yeah

[cheers and applause]

How you doin'?

- That's how you do it!

- Whoa.

- I mean, you are just so cute.

- Oh.

- I mean, you really are.

- You know, I was lucky enough

to go see Sinatra

and Sammy Davis, Jr.

And you're not

just trying to do it.

You are it, and you're genuine

and authentic and real.

I love what you're doing.

- Howie, thank you.

- You're welcome, buddy.

- You know what,

you just lit up

this whole entire room.

I loved it, loved it, loved it.

- Thank you.

- Simon.

- I am slightly starstruck,

I'm going to be honest

with you right now.

- Wow!

- Yeah, I am.

- Love you, Simon.

- I mean, seriously.

It was fantastic.

- Thank you, that's tremendous.

- You have so much charm,

so much pizzazz.

And I just love your voice, and

I just love you so very much.

And I hope that the 50 states

are going to vote for you!

- Thank you, and God bless!

- Aw, he's so cute.

- You came to win today.

- Hell, yeah.

- Okay, listen, we got to hang.

- Absolutely, brother.

- We got to hang.

I'm going to Sunday dinner

at your house.

- You better be there.

- You know, we got about

five winners

of previous years

on this one show.

- Wow.

- Tokio Myers.

Oh, my goodness, man.

Listen, winner of

"Britain's Got Talent."

- I mean, it's incredible

to be here.

I've never been

in the States before.

[tense music]

I grew up in northwest London

as an only child

on the 16th floor

of a tower block.

Three of us in one room.

That's where we were.

Where I grew up

was quite a poor place.

A lot of drug

and gang violence.

It was there

that I discovered music.

I worked very, very hard

because I knew

that could be a door

opening for my life.

- Well, this

is your night, hon.

Good luck.

- Thank you.

- It's very different

when you're up there.

It felt--the whole thing

felt like a dream.

- I think right now

is your time.

Whatever you've gone through

in the past, Tokio,

has taken you to this point.

- Tokio Myers!

- Shortly after "BGT,"

there was a huge fire

that happened in London.

Where it happened was not

too far from where I grew up.

I personally felt drawn

to get involved.

I never thought I would be

in a position to do that,

because I didn't

have anything at all.

- Can you hear me?

Okay, here we go.

- It's been

an incredible year.

I never thought I could win

"Britain's Got Talent,"

and, you know,

here I am in America.

I want to go out there and

blow the American people away.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh!

- Hello, Tokio.

- How you doing, Simon?

- I'm really good.

So good to see you.

Uh, Tokio won

"Britain's Got Talent" in 2017.

- That's correct, yeah.

Thank you.

- In my opinion,

one of the best winners

we've ever had on the show.

- I'm a huge fan.

What have you been doing

since you won "BGT?"

- Um, I don't know if you guys

are familiar with

the Grenfell Tower in London.

You know, due to

the infrastructure

of that building,

many people died in a fire.

Um--

- It was the terrible tragedy

where on a whim,

we decided to put a record out.

Tokio was the first

to hold his hand up.

We raised, you know, hundreds

of thousands of pounds.

That's when I realized, you

know, what a great guy he is.

- Thank you.

- Well, you know, Tokio,

thank you for coming back.

Good luck, not that

you need good luck

because you are amazing,

but good luck anyway.

- Thank you guys, thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- I love Tokio Myers.

[soft piano music]

[cheers and applause]

- Unreal!

- Wow, Tokio,

that brought back memories.

Howie?

- Let me ask you something.

So for you,

what did this feel like?

Coming to America

and playing here?

- Man, it's incredible.

Um, the energy is

so different here,

and I could just--

so energetic, and--

it's wicked, man.

It's wicked.

- Well, you are

a world-class musician.

You truly are a champion,

and I see you

as the next Quincy Jones.

And tonight,

only two can go through.

You truly deserve

to go through.

You are really worthy of it.

- Thank you very much.

- Heidi?

- I guess this

is what they mean when they say

a one-man show, right?

- I mean--

- I guess you do it all.

I mean, it was really,

truly amazing to watch.

- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Um, tonight, this is feeling

like the Olympics.

It's, like, the best

of the best of the best.

You've all upped your game.

Thank God we're not

choosing tonight,

because we would have

a real problem.

- Thank you very much.

That means a lot.

That means a lot.

Thank you.

- Okay, 50 states,

give this guy a break.

I want him in the final,

come on.

- Thank you, thank you.

-Ahh.

- What do you think about

your chances tonight?

- I'm not going to lie.

Today, I felt the pressure.

Man, you know,

it's the best of the best.

- So are we ready to do this?

[crowd chanting]

Terry, Terry, Terry!

- [laughs]

- Love you guys!

- I love Terry.

- Can you do that thing

he does with his chest?

- Yeah.

- Can you do that?

- I can do it, watch.

- You do one at a time.

- I do one at a time.

Right, left, right, left.

- Mine's one at a time.

- Whoa, I know her from online.

I know who you are.

You do that amazing sand art.

- Thank you, thank you.

- I remember seeing

this video go viral,

and this act is amazing.

You were on

"Ukraine's Got Talent."

- Right, thank you.

- What year?

- Uh, 2009.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

I'm Kseniya Simonova.

I'm 33 years old,

from Ukraine.

I lived in a very small city

near the sea.

Growing up, I was drawing

all the time.

But when I found sand,

it was like my second hand.

Sand can show

the life continuation.

Like, continuing my soul.

- [babbling]

- In the day, I was a mother,

and at night, I was an artist.

[cheers and applause]

I never thought my sand art

would ever leave

my small town.

But in 2009, my husband

secretly signed me up

for "Ukraine's Got Talent."

I was afraid, because it was

my very first time

on stage at all.

I put my heart

on the stage that day.

[cheers and applause]

I couldn't believe the

reaction of my performances,

and they went viral

on internet.

Somebody told me,

"Did you see?"

I said,

"No, I have no computer."

- Kseniya Simonova!

- Winning on

"Ukraine's Got Talent"

completely changed my life.

With my winnings off

"Ukraine's Got Talent,"

we were able to buy

a new house.

You could see me, like--

I never expected

that can happen to me.

This is my very first time

in America.

I feel I'm here

representing Ukraine,

and I want to show that it's

a beautiful artistic place.

My life's already

changed so much,

but I am still the girl

from little city

who is surprised of her life.

- Well, this is our final

episode before the finals.

Only two more acts

can go through.

I wish you the best of luck.

- Thank you so much.

Can I tell one word about

the story which you will see?

- Yes, please.

- This is the story

about a child who grew up,

became famous artist,

and forgot his parents.

I wish nobody forget

who their parents, please.

all: Aw.

- Oh, wow.

That's a sad story.

- Okay, thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

[soft string music]

- Oh, wow.

Universe, all the planets.

[cheers and applause]

[baby cries]

[baby giggles]

- This is amazing.

[gentle orchestral music]

["Slow Down"

by Nichole Noderman]

- Slow down

Won't you stay here

a minute more?

I know you want to

walk through the door

But it's all too fast

Let's make it last

a little while

I pointed to the sky,

and now, you want to fly

I am your biggest fan

I hope you know I am

But do you think

you can, somehow

- Oh.

- Slow down

Slow down

- Oh, my God.

I got goosebumps!

- Oh, my God!

[crowd chanting]

Golden, Golden, Golden!

- Whoa.

- Simon?

- In my opinion,

you are one of

the best contestants

we've had over the years

all around all the world.

- Thank you.

- I mean, genuinely,

to see it unfold

in front of our eyes,

and your use of music

and storytelling,

it was fantastic.

Congratulations.

- I promise you

- Thank you.

- I'm always there

- Mel?

- That was just incredible.

Wow, wow, wow.

Like, just the intricacy

of the faces.

Everything that you do

is just brilliant.

Oh, my gosh.

- Thank you.

- I agree.

- Thank you.

- Let me tell you something.

It's so emotional.

What you do is beautiful.

You are beautiful.

- Thank you.

- Where else

can you see sand art?

In my mind, tonight,

right here, right now,

you are the champion.

I really, truly believe that.

- Thank you.

- Okay, okay, okay.

[triumphant music]

Okay.

Man, Kseniya,

let me tell you something,

I have never

been more impressed

by the ability to move people

the way you did today.

[soft music]

- I promise you

Well, I'm always there

When your heart is filled

With sadness and despair

I'll carry you

When you need a friend

- Amazing, you deserved it.

- Thank you.

Thank you, America!

- You are through

to the finals.

Let's hear it for

Kseniya Simonova!

- I promise you

Well, I'm always there

When your heart is filled

with sadness and despair

- Fantastic.

- How did it feel

coming back on that stage?

- I was very scared, you know?

I was praying there,

and I was, like, trying,

my hands, not to shake them.

- Oh.

- They were shaking.

- Oh, but you did so good!

No one could see that.

It was unbelievable.

I'm so happy for you.

- So now, only one spot left

for the whole competition.

- The sand

- It's going to be so hard

for all those people to vote.

- Only one spot life.

- I know, it's so hard to vote.

- It's going to be.

- They're all so good.

- Because this is it.

They're all great.

- So are you nervous?

- Yeah, of course.

I've traveled halfway

across the world to be here.

My name is Cosentino,

and I was runner-up

on "Australia's Got Talent,"

season five.

As a child,

I stumbled across a book

that introduced me to the world

of Harry Houdini,

the escape artist.

[dramatic music]

That absolutely captured

my imagination,

and from there, I became

obsessed with escapes,

and it became my life.

"Australia's Got Talent"

gave me that platform

to really push the boundaries.

Do not try this at home.

I had thought

I could win this thing.

I was so close,

I could taste it.

- Jack Vidgen!

- But I was runner-up.

It's very painful,

but of course,

it gave me a platform to now

go on and have a whole career.

[cheers and applause]

Since then, I've gone on to do

my own television show

in 22 different countries.

I've gone on to

tour all around the world,

but there's still one place

I have to go,

which is America.

So here I am.

[dramatic music]

To compete against

the best in the world,

I've really got to step it up.

So I'm literally

putting my life on the line.

Is it worth it?

Yeah, I think it is.

I hope that I can actually

prove that I'm a champion.

It's finally my chance to win.

So what you're about

to see here tonight

is truly dangerous.

To make sure everything is

legitimate and above board,

I'd like to invite Terry

out on stage to assist.

Terry, would you come out?

Give him a round of applause.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, yeah.

How you doing?

- Good, man.

How are you?

- Good, good.

- Okay.

I'm going to be strapped and

bound to that spinning wheel,

and locked in place

with four padlocks.

Terry, for the sake

of the audience,

I want you to take the padlock,

lock it.

Make sure it doesn't slip

or come undone.

It's a real padlock.

- It's real.

- Very important.

- It's real.

- You will notice--thank you--

there are four crossbows

aimed at my body.

This is one of the arrows

that will be fired.

Let me show you how dangerous

the arrow truly is.

Stay right there, Terry.

- Wait, wait, what?

- Stay there.

[dramatic music]

[trap snaps]

[audience murmuring]

- That's no joke.

- The bear trap comes

crashing down with

over 200 pounds of brute force.

If one of my arms is caught,

it will be crushed.

Now, in a moment,

the tap will be turned on.

The liquid runs down the tray

into the bucket.

It takes around

about 30 seconds

for the weight of the bucket

to hit the switch.

When it does,

there's no turning back.

The wheel will begin to spin,

releasing the second pair

of crossbows and bear trap.

Now, I have to make my way

through all of the restraints

using nothing but a lockpick.

If I can't get out,

I will be skewered

and crushed to that wheel.

Finally--it gets better.

- Right.

- Or worse.

- There's one final element:

fire.

If I'm not out

in less than two minutes,

the entire wheel

will be set on fire.

Of course, if I'm not out...

- Oh, come on, man.

Come on, man, no.

- I'll be burnt alive.

- Oh, my God.

Dude, I'm scared for you, man.

It's so nice to meet--

can I hug you?

Can I give you a hug?

- You can hug me.

Thank you.

- Oh, my God.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you, Terry.

Thank you so much.

- Oh, good luck.

- Let's begin.

[dramatic music]

[cheers and applause]

[lock clicks]

[locks click]

- Oh, no.

- Release!

Come on!

- Come on.

- He got one!

- He's not getting loose!

- Come on!

- Come on!

- Whoa!

- Oh!

- Whoo!

[dramatic music]

He's running out of time, man!

- Come on!

- Oh.

- [yells]

[dramatic musical flourish]

That was insane!

- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

You are one crazy guy.

Howie?

- You know what,

we see escape artists.

But you have this

dramatic delivery

that is beyond,

and it was scary.

I loved everything.

- Thank you.

- Even--even that ending.

When I finish anything

from now on,

that's how I'm going to do it.

- [laughs]

- Perfect.

- I just finished judging.

- That's it, boom!

- I thought it was

thrilling to watch.

I loved the presentation,

you know?

You're also very

"Pirates of the Caribbean."

You know, with all your braids

and everything.

It was very entertaining.

- Thank you very much.

Thank you.

[dramatic music]

- What I loved about this act

is that, as you said,

it was not an illusion.

It can go wrong.

We've seen it go wrong.

And really, this was

the whole idea of the show,

which was, you know,

the best in the world

takes on the best in the world.

And I think you've got

a real shot after that.

This is actually

one of the best danger acts

I think I've ever seen.

I mean, really,

you're that good.

Congratulations.

- Thank you very much, guys.

I appreciate your time.

Thank you.

- Well, all I have to do...

- He's good.

- Yeah.

- He is good.

- He's also easy on the eyes.

- My God, this feels

like a final tonight.

- At this point,

it's anybody's game.

- Now there's only

one spot left.

- Yeah.

- And there's nine

incredible acts.

This is--this is insane.

- Yeah.

[gentle string music]

- We're the Sons of Serendip.

We're finalists from season

nine of "America's Got Talent."

We all met

at Boston University

while in graduate school,

and in 2014, on a whim,

we decided to audition

for "America's Got Talent."

- That's amazing, I loved it.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

voice you have.

- I think it was fabulous.

- It really was.

- There was a gut feeling

that our lives

would never be the same.

You deliver week after week

after week after week.

- Eventually,

we were on the stage

for, like, that last time.

- Leaving the competition

is Sons of Serendip.

- That moment was brutal.

It's hard because

we wanted it a lot.

But we were still able

to leave our day jobs,

and pursue music full-time.

We've been

recording albums, touring.

- We've opened for John Legend,

for Jay Leno.

- We've had some amazing

experiences and

it's been a blessing.

- Mm-hmm.

- It's been a blessing.

- And now, we're here

at "America's Got Talent:

The Champions,"

and we're going to be competing

against the best of the best.

- From the whole world.

- Yeah, from the whole world.

- Yeah.

- Like, that's incredible,

and nerve-racking.

We can't wait

to show the judges

how we've evolved and improved

over the last four years.

We want to win this time.

Ooh

[gentle music]

I've walked across

an empty land

I knew the pathway

like the back of my hand

I felt the earth

beneath my feet

Sat by a river

and it made me complete

Oh, simple thing,

where have you gone?

I'm getting tired and

I need someone to rely on

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

So why don't we go

somewhere only

We know?

[vocalizing]

This could be the end

of everything

So why don't we go

somewhere only we know?

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we

Know

[cheers and applause]

- Tried to keep

you close to me

- They're on their feet!

- But I got in between

["Hold Back the River"

by James Bay]

- I can't tell you,

it is so nice

to have you guys

back on the stage.

There's, like, magic in the air

when you guys perform.

Really, I could feel

the magic in the air.

- Thank you, Heidi, thank you.

- You look great,

you sound great,

and you make us feel so good.

- Thank you.

- Mel.

- Well, for me,

that was so dreamy

and so angelic.

It was--I mean,

it was beautiful.

And you know what,

I'm glad that you came back

because it's good

to be reminded,

especially how good

this combination works.

The piano, the cello,

your voice, and the harp.

I love a harp.

[laughs]

[cheers and applause]

- Simon, what did you think?

- Your voice is

actually stunning.

The song choice was great.

I mean, you're

fantastic musicians.

Certain performances

just do that.

This one actually got me,

you know?

- Thank you, wow.

- Honest to God, guys,

when I'm asked the question

"well, why are you

putting people

who didn't win the show

on 'Champions?'"

And it's specifically because

certain years

may not have been

the right years for you.

And this, for me,

was a huge step up.

- Thank you.

- Good for you.

[cheers and applause]

- Hold back the river so I

Can stop for a minute

- Four and a half years since

you've been on that stage.

Tell us how you feel.

- It feels amazing.

It's just--it's surreal.

- Yeah, yeah!

- The competition

on this episode

is more off the hook

than any other episode.

Don't you think?

- Our last act, coming up.

- So that is a spade,

that's a club?

- What?

- That's a club?

- Yeah.

- That's a spade.

- Right.

- Why--which one is one?

That is a--

- That's spade.

- Club, no, that's a club.

Don't you play cards

in England?

[tense music]

- My name is Shin Lim.

I am the reigning champion

for "America's Got Talent."

That has

a really nice ring to it,

so let's keep it going.

You know, I was

a pretty awkward kid.

I would practice my magic

all the time.

I would wear this white

uniform that my mom gave me.

And then, reappear.

I thought it was cool

at the time, but...

I had always watched

"America's Got Talent,"

and after 10 years of

practicing and performing,

I finally got the courage to

actually go up and audition.

- And what do you?

- I am a card magician.

I saw all four judges

just stand up,

and then, the whole audience

was giving me

a standing ovation,

and I was really relieved

because I was, like,

"okay, I think they like it."

- For anyone who says they

don't believe in magic, hello!

- When I was announced

the top two,

I thought to myself "I could

actually win this thing."

- Shin Lim!

[cheers and applause]

- And I couldn't hear any

of the confetti or anything.

Apparently there was, like,

confetti being shot behind me,

but I couldn't hear

any of that.

Like, everything

was just quiet,

and all of a sudden,

I feel myself get lifted up.

And I'm, like, "oh, my God.

Like, I feel like I'm

in Heaven or something."

Paris Las Vegas, here I come.

all: Shin, Shin, Shin, Shin!

- Every magician's dream is to

obviously headline in Vegas,

and I finally got to do that.

- Ladies and gentleman,

Shin Lim!

- It felt like just yesterday

that my only fan was my mom,

and me dressed up in the

white suit and my bowl cut.

And now, I'm being recognized

all over.

"AGT" is where

it all started for me,

so I had to be a part

of the "Champions."

The competition here

is really intimidating.

I'm up against

some legendary people.

I feel like expectations

are extremely high

for me as well because

I had just won.

- Okay, here we go, gang.

Here we go.

- I am very nervous.

I'm back here

to defend my title.

[cheers and applause]

- Whoa.

- Shin Lim.

- Hello.

- So you were the winner of

"America's Got Talent" 2018.

- Oh, really?

- Yes.

[laughs]

- Shin, can I say something

to you, please?

I have absolute respect

for you that you have

the courage after winning

to come back to compete

with all the other winners.

And not many people

would do that.

- Thank you, Simon.

Thank you so much.

- You're a champion.

- Thank you, Simon.

- Good luck, Shin.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you guys.

[cheers and applause]

I'm actually going to need

Terry's help

for this next effect.

Terry, please come up

on the stage.

[cheers and applause]

- All right, how you doing?

- Have a seat right over there.

- Oh, of course.

[suspenseful music]

- Now, Terry, if you could

put your left hand out.

All right.

Cover that card

with your other hand.

Don't move, all right?

- Okay.

["Oblivion" by M83]

[cheers and applause]

- Whoa!

- Was a song

- What in the world?

- You see me calling

Calling

Breathe in the light

I'll stay here

in the shadows

Oh

- Oh!

- Waiting for a sign

As the tide grows

Higher and higher

and higher

- What?

- Terry, lift up.

- Oh.

[laughs]

- Look, all those cards!

- What?

- Oh, my God.

- Wow.

- Yes!

- Your good-bye

Your good-bye

- Oh, my.

- You see us falling

Falling

- What?

- Shut up!

- Where are they going?

- And say good-bye

- Stop it!

- My God!

[suspenseful music]

- Yeah!

Whoo!

- Your right pocket, inside.

Check it, inside.

- Oh, this is crazy!

No!

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- [laughs]

Shin Lim.

- Thank you guys.

- You know what, I am sitting

here, thinking to myself

"what just happened?"

That was impressive.

Well done.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, guys.

- You are perfection,

and I just want to reach out

to the 50 states

who are voting.

You are a champion,

you are a winner,

and you should be in the final.

There's only one more spot.

- Yeah, oh, my God.

- Heidi, what do you think?

- I mean, Shin Lim.

But I have to say,

this was as expected.

Mind-blowing!

- Thank you.

- It really was.

- Simon, what did you think?

- I can see something different

in you since we last saw you,

which is because

I remember the story

you told us about being shy

when you were a little boy,

and then, magic gave you

your confidence.

And I think winning "AGT"

has given you something else.

The only one problem

I have is that thanks to you,

my son now believes

he has magic powers.

- Okay.

- And I'm not kidding.

Uh, but you are a true star,

and a great guy,

and a great champion.

- Thank you, Simon.

- You really are.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, guys.

- Yes!

- He's got to be in the finals.

- That's a class act.

- That's a really deserving--

that's, like, world-class.

- How did you get that

in my pocket?

I have no idea.

I'm scared I don't have

my wallet anymore.

- No, no, no, I told you,

I wouldn't take--

I wouldn't take anything,

but I would give you something.

[dramatic music]

- Welcome back.

It's been one incredible

night of talent,

but now, it's all down

to the results.

Remember, there are only two

spots open in the finals,

and one has already gone.

I put Kseniya Simonova through

with the Golden Buzzer.

And that leaves nine acts

for one spot in the finals.

- This one spot is decided

by the superfans.

- What just happened?

- And I'm coming here

as the most recent winner

of America's Got Talent,

so there is a lot

of pressure on me.

- You should be in the final.

- Mind-blowing.

- The last two years,

I've worked my butt off

and came back even better

than when I left.

- You are a true star,

and a great champion.

- I was so close last time.

I'm so close again this time.

I really hope

I have done enough.

- This is it.

The votes are locked now.

[dramatic music]

First up, we're going

to find out

who's made it

into tonight's top three.

Our 50 states have voted.

the top three are...

Wow.

Let's hear it

for all our other acts.

Thank you so much

for being here.

So now we have our top three.

- Wow.

- My gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

- Attraction, I can tell you

you won in the Northeast.

Shin Lim, you won the Midwest.

Sons of Serendip,

you won in Alabama,

Arizona, and Tennessee.

Okay, first,

You are truly champions.

Please make some noise

for Sons of Serendip.

Incredible.

Thank you, guys.

Wow.

We are down to the top two.

Attraction, and Shin Lim.

- Oh, my God.

- Good luck to both of you.

The superfans have decided.

the finals is...

["Lionheart" by Demi Lovato]

- And we walk together

into the light

And my love will be

your armor tonight

We are lionhearts

- Shin Lim!

Attraction, thank you so much.

Shin Lim, you are

in the finals.

What are you feeling right now?

- Thank you guys so much.

It feels amazing.

I love all of you so much.

This is incredible.

Thank you, thank you.

- And please welcome back

tonight's Golden Buzzer,

Kseniya Simonova!

Next week, it's the finals.

The top ten acts of the season

will be fighting to be crowned

"AGT: Champions"

best in the world.

And there's a big twist coming

in those finals.

Trust me, you're going

to love it.

We'll see you then.

I'm Terry Crews.

Good night, America!
