[DNCE's "Dance"]

- Come on and dance

with me

Clap your hands with me

Go to France with me

Come on and dance

with me

Don't go baby,

bye-bye-bye

Tell me that you want me

to-ni-ni-night

- This is the final!

[cheers and applause]

Yes!

Man, we have seen some awesome

talent across the season,

and now the fight is on

to be crowned

"best in the world."

[cheers and applause]

The acts will perform again

tonight,

and we'll find out who's won

in our big season finale

next week.

That decision is in the hands

of our superfans

from the 50 states of America.

Now,

ten acts have been put

into the finals

by our superfans

and by the Golden Buzzer.

But this is AGT, we don't do

normal around here.

So we have a big surprise

for you.

Simon, tell everybody

what it is.

- Okay, so, we decided that

we would bring in

two wildcards.

[cheers and applause]

- All right, we got wildcards.

This is awesome.

[indistinct]

First up...

this performer comes to us

from Europe.

She won "Spain's Got Talent,"

and she gave us one of

the biggest "what?" moments

of the season.

She's Cristina Ramos.

- When the superfans chose me,

it was, uh, incredible.

- Cristina Ramos!

- The audience

was screaming my name.

"Cristina!"

It was like a dream.

[echoing]

My daily life,

I live in my house

in front of the sea.

I am a quiet person,

a peaceful person.

Music is my life.

[clangs]

But there is other side

of me.

When I sing rock,

I absolutely transform.

I release the beast that

I have inside of me,

and it's amazing.

[echoing]

[imitates explosion]

["Feeling Good" playing]

I never thought in

all my life

I would be singing

for all the world

with the best of the best.

This opportunity means

all for me.

I cannot let it go.

For the final, I will try

something special that

will be my best performance.

Winning "America's Got Talent:

The Champions"

will prove to myself that

I belong here.

[cheers and applause]

["Call Me" begins]

[vocalizing]

Come up off

your color chart

I know where you're

coming from

Call me on the line

You can call me any day

or night

Call me , I'll arrive

You can call me any day

or night

Call me

Ow

Cover me with kisses, baby

Cover me with love

Emotions come,

I don't know why

Cover up love's alibi

Yeah

Call me

On the line

You can call me any day

or night

Call me on my line

You can call me any day

or night

Call me

[vocalizing]

- Wow.

- Call me

On the line

You can call me any day

or night

Call me, oh

On the line

You can call me any day

or night

[vocalizing]

Call me

[cheers and applause]

Thank you, guys.

- Wow.

- Cristina Ramos!

[cheers and applause]

Wow.

Mel B.

- Aww.

- What do you think?

- Even though I knew

you were gonna turn into

this crazy rock chick,

I still didn't expect it.

I'm like, "Oh, my God,

she's so angelic and opera,"

and then this

wild side comes out of you.

And that combo is just

a killer, it's brilliant.

I love it, love it, love it.

It's very exciting,

very exciting.

- Heidi, your opinion.

- That was another

wow performance.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

I mean, it's like there are

notes in there

I don't think I've ever heard

before.

It's like, "Yeah"!

It's like a wild animal

on the stage, I love it.

[cheers and applause]

- Howie.

- You know, um, tonight,

it's gonna be impossible.

You just set a bar.

You opened up a show

amongst winners.

You're already a superstar,

and thank you for gracing

our world-renowned stage.

Thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

- Simon.

- I've gotta tell you,

that vocal was insanely good.

And you know what?

My biggest buzz is the time

I witness a star

for the first time.

[cheers and applause]

And you may have just thrown

this whole show up in the air,

because anything could happen

after that.

- Good luck tonight, Cristina.

Please, make some more noise

for Cristina Ramos.

[cheers and applause]

- [vocalizing]

I wish I could sing like her.

That would be so much fun.

[vocalizing]

- So much fun.

- Only one comedian made it

into the finals,

and you're about to see why.

He's Preacher Lawson.

[hip-hop music]

- People think it's easy

to be funny,

but it's actually really

a strenuous process.

And a lot of people give up

too soon.

I think there's comedians

out there

that are way funnier than me.

But they'll never be seen,

because they don't work

like I work.

- For eight years I was

doing standup,

and I was shattered.

I went broke.

I got to the point where

I was like,

"Man, I just wanna quit."

- But I just kept pushing,

and then I got on

"America's Got Talent."

[cheering]

- Season 12,

I lost to Darci.

- Darci Lynne!

- I was like, "If I push

a little harder,

I know I'll be fine."

And now all that hard work

is paying off,

because I'm on "America's Got

Talent: The Champions."

- Preacher Lawson!

- I really think

in my heart and soul

I can win this show.

- I'mma win!

I'm coming for you, Darci.

Even though she didn't

make it through,

but, I mean, whatever.

[laughs]

And I--oh, she has?

[snickering]

Are you serious?

Darci Lynne was added as

a wildcard?

Why?

[cheers and applause]

- Pump, pump

Pump, pump, pump

Pump it up

- What?

What?

What?

Yeah.

Yeah.

All y'all.

Thank you so much.

And I did that sober,

that's crazy.

[laughs]

Yes, I'm excited, man.

I don't--I do most things

sober. I don't really drink.

I don't like the way

alcohol tastes.

Everybody know

alcohol is nasty.

I know this 'cause

I've never seen anybody

take a shot and not slap

a table,

that's how I know.

You ever see someone's face

when they take a shot?

They just like, "Ahh"!

Why are you doing that?

It just makes you dizzy.

Like, if you

can't afford alcohol,

just start spinning in circles,

that's all you need to do.

"What you doing?"

"Girl you know I don't

get paid till Friday.

I'm trying to...I'm trying

to take a couple shots."

[chuckles]

Standup comedy's pretty cool.

It's one of the only jobs

you can drink

and, uh, and work.

My last job I could do that

as well.

My last job was great.

I made a lot of money,

I got to choose my hours.

It was a great job.

There's pros and cons

to drug dealing,

but for the most part,

like, I--I did so well.

You know?

I just did great.

The job before that,

I used to work at a gym, yep.

It's funny when

you work at a gym

you notice things, right?

Like, you notice that men

that go to the gym--

men only work out

their upper body, right?

'Cause they're dumb.

They're like,

"Well, I wanna get buff."

Like, "That's cool, bro,

but leg day, all right?"

Got all these men walking

around

bodies shaped like

the letter T,

like, you look dumb.

You belong on "Sesame Street,"

that's where you belong.

That's...

[chuckles]

"Today's word is

'testosterone.'"

"Here I go."

Yeah, that's where you belong.

Women do the exact opposite,

'cause women want a big booty,

but they don't wanna get buff,

right?

So, you got all these women

walking around

bodies shaped like a T-Rex

thinking they fine.

Like, "Hey..."

[laughter]

No, look like a really

attractive ostrich right now,

that's what you look like.

Women are so afraid of

getting buff.

They are so afraid, you know?

You got men in the gym

trying so hard to get buff

and they can't,

they can't get big.

And women think they just

gonna pick up one dumbbell...

[laughter]

Just one.

[feminine voice]

Like, "Hey...

"what this dumbbell do, hmm?

"I just wanna pick it up

and see what it does, okay?

"I just wanna pick it up

and see what it does.

"That's all I wanna do, okay?

"I just wanna--

[deep masculine voice]

"See what it does!

Katrina mad!"

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.

- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

[cheers and applause]

- All right, y'all better laugh

at that joke,

it cost me $6.95, man.

My name is Preacher Lawson.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate y'all.

Thank you.

- Yes!

- Hey.

- Preacher Lawson!

[chuckles]

[cheers and applause]

- I thought you was gonna come

with your shirt off.

[cheers and applause]

- [laughs]

Mel B.

- Why are you

coming to me first?

- [laughs]

- Um, you know that

I'm a fan of yours.

You are just funny.

Just--no matter what you say,

how you say it,

you could be saying anything,

and I'd be laughing

and screaming with happiness

and joy and--oh...

go to the next person.

[laughter]

- I'm going to the next person.

- You can keep talking.

I don't mind, I don't mind.

- Simon, what do you think?

- I felt tonight

I wasn't looking

at a competition.

I felt, genuinely,

I was just watching a star.

It's as simple as that.

No, really.

I really mean that, Preacher.

- Thank you.

- Everything about you

has got better,

and that's what--

- And his body got better.

- And you...

- What you talking 'bout?

- And you are fit.

- Look at these muscles.

- Thank you.

- And you were brilliant.

- Thank you.

- Howie.

- You give us everything.

You know, there are funny

physical comedians,

there are funny

verbal comedians,

there's great storytellers;

You are all those in one.

And that's why we love you.

And I think the people that

represent each of the 50 states

are talking about you

right now.

And I'm so proud that

a comedian

has made it this far.

- Yes.

- I love you, buddy.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you, thank you,

thank you.

- Preacher, now was it worth

ripping off your clothes?

- Oh, it was worth--yes!

Oh, yes.

Even if they didn't laugh,

I wanted to rip off my clothes.

All right?

I just wanted to show

I did my homework,

that's all I did, yeah.

I--I appreciate it.

- I know the feeling.

I know the feeling.

- I know you do.

- [laughs]

Good luck tonight, Preacher.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- Please make some noise for

shirtless Preacher Lawson.

[cheers and applause]

- Here's one of the judges'

wildcards.

She really doesn't need me

to say anything apart from

she won AGT in 2017.

It's Darci Lynne.

[cheers and applause]

- The first round of "AGT:

The Champions" was crazy.

All of the butterflies from

the very first audition

just came back, like,

ten times worse.

The reaction from the crowd

was out of this world.

- I think you deserve to be

the world champion.

- Definitely wanted to

feel that feeling forever.

- Leaving the competition is...

Darci Lynne.

- The chance of winning that

title was gone.

Then I got the call to be

a wildcard.

- I am grateful to have

another chance

to win this competition,

but it's also, like,

terrifying.

How am I gonna come back

and blow the roof off

the place?

I would definitely consider

Petunia my lucky charm.

She helped me get

the Golden Buzzer,

she helped me win season 12...

- Darci Lynne!

- And she is a diva,

and she likes to win.

But there's only one winner.

Ahh!

I'm not gonna let it go.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh...my carrots.

Oh, my carrots.

Oh, my carrots.

- What?

- Look at all these people.

Hello to you up there...

[echoing]

[cheers and applause]

Can ya hear me?

[echoing]

- That's amazing.

- Petunia, what are

you gonna sing today?

- Well, I want to sing

Italian opera.

[cheers and applause]

[dramatic orchestral music]

[singing in Italian]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- That was amazing.

[cheers and applause]

- That was amazing.

- Darci Lynne!

[cheers and applause continue]

Simon.

- Wow, wow, wow, Darci.

I actually believe this,

for so many reasons,

is your best ever performance

you've ever given.

- Thank you.

- It's hard enough at

your age to sing opera,

but you're doing it

through a rabbit.

[laughter]

- I think you may win tonight.

- [chuckles]

Wow.

- [giggles]

- Mel B, do you agree?

- Oh, my gosh,

of course I agree.

I mean, just your delivery

and your confidence,

'cause you are self-taught,

and you've worked so hard

to get this far.

You deserve everything

and much, much more.

[cheers and applause]

- Howie, what do you think

about this performance?

- It was truly amazing because

we didn't know you sing opera.

You've gone through a whole

season of AGT

and you still surprise.

I think he's right, I think

you got a shot at this tonight.

Best of luck, young lady.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Well, good luck tonight,

Darci.

Everybody show some love

for Darci Lynne.

[cheers and applause]

- Give yourselves a nice

round of applause, everyone.

- More than any other show

I've done before,

this is the one I'm most

curious to see who's gonna win.

- Yeah.

We should put a bet in,

amongst us.

- Well, when it comes to bets,

you know that I always win.

- Okay, here we go again,

here we go.

[cheers and applause]

- We've got Heidi

and the Golden Buzzer

to thank for this act.

- Yes!

- This couple does some of

the most dangerous

and terrifying things

ever seen on AGT.

Here's Deadly Games.

[cheers and applause]

- On "America's Got Talent,"

we were so close to get

to the finals,

and I think we just left

too soon.

- Deadly Games.

- We knew we could

have done better.

We had to come back even more

dangerous than before.

[dramatic music]

[cheering]

- When we got

the Golden Buzzer from Heidi,

it was something

really special for us.

- I let all the emotions go.

I just start crying.

I was happy.

I felt like we have a chance

to win "AGT: Champions."

- It felt so good to shock

the first time.

- And we're gonna shock

the judges even more

for the finale.

This is the most dangerous

and stressful routine

I ever performed in my life.

When it's go time, I try to

block everything else

from the picture.

- I'm looking in his eyes,

he look at me,

and we have this trust

to each other.

- It is a natural reaction

of any human beings

to flinch, to run, to move.

And she had to train her mind

not to do that.

We want to be the champions,

and we are willing to do

whatever it takes to get it.

[cheers and applause]

[ominous music]

[cheering]

[gasping]

- [groans]

Oh.

Ah.

- Whoa!

Whoa!

- One shot.

- Whoa.

[cheers and applause]

[cheering]

- [screams]

[screams]

- That was close!

- [moans]

- He's a little off tonight.

- Yes.

- Don't say that.

- He is.

- He is.

[cheering]

No.

[all groaning]

No.

Whoa!

[cheers and applause]

Oh, no.

- [screaming]

[cheers and applause]

- Yes.

[cheers and applause]

- That was unreal.

[cheers and applause]

- Yes!

- Wait.

- Wait?

- Wait.

We are not done yet.

[ominous music continues]

Judges, please, bring those

balloons with you

and join me on the stage.

[gasping]

- I'm scared.

- It's okay.

Anna will show your place.

- You're gonna hold balloon.

Okay, you have to hold...

- Each of the judges will be

hold a line of balloons.

And I will shoot all

the balloons

with my crossbow.

- Oh.

- No.

[cheers and applause]

[tense music]

- Keep yours still.

- I'll hide behind you.

- Judges, are you ready?

- No.

- No.

- This does not look even.

- Actually not.

- This doesn't look even

at all.

- Please don't move.

- Don't move.

- Silence please.

- Yours is tilting down.

Oh, my God.

[winces]

- Hey, you didn't thought I was

about to do that, right?

[laughter]

We can't do that...

not without Terry.

Come on, join us, my friend.

[cheers and applause]

Come on.

- [groaning]

I thought I was out of it.

[crowd chanting]

Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry...

- All right, now,

do not move, please.

Stay on your positions.

- I wanna go home.

[laughter]

- Let's get serious.

- [groans]

- This needs to be the most

precise shot of my career.

- Yes, please.

- Here we go.

- Oh, my God.

[HEART BEATS]

[screaming]

- Yeah!

[cheers and applause]

Whoo!

That was amazing.

- Please put your hands

together

for the most brave judges

in the planet.

- Oh, my God.

- You're crazy.

- Hey, give it up for

Deadly Games.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Oh, my God, Heidi.

- I mean, can we talk about

my sweaty armpits right now?

Whew.

I mean, that was so scary.

But now I feel like, you know,

we got a little closer,

and we experienced this

together,

and I kinda loved it.

Boom.

[cheers and applause]

- I did get a bit worried,

because during your act,

there was one

or two things that

I know didn't go as planned.

Then when you asked us

to go onstage,

I was like,

"Hold on a minute.

What's gonna happen here?"

But I actually think

that worked in your favor,

'cause the stakes were raised

even higher and you carried on.

- Thank you.

- [cheers and applause]

- Howie.

- I'm just happy to be alive.

- Yeah.

- Woo-hoo, we're alive!

We survived it.

- Well done.

- Simon.

- You got through tonight

as a champion,

genuinely, because I think

under the danger act category,

this is the best, I think,

in the world.

- Yes.

- Really. I really mean that.

- Give it up for Deadly Games.

- You did feel that wind go by?

- Oh, God.

- It was so scary.

I went like, shh-shump.

- I actually thought

if he missed,

I wasn't as nervous as

you guys, 'cause I--

- Why not?

- 'Cause one of you would have

died first.

If the arrow went into

one of you, I'm cool.

You were my protection.

- Now moving right along,

here's our next finalist.

It takes a lot of guts

to get up and perform on AGT.

But when it comes to bravery,

this singer is in a class

of her own.

She's Simon's Golden Buzzer,

it's Kechi.

- Aww.

- Oh.

[cheers and applause]

- Life can totally change in,

like, a second.

And if you're lucky,

it can change for the better.

It's been about a year and half

since I was on

"America's Got Talent"

season 12.

And stepping out on that stage

after so long,

I was super nervous.

To get the Golden Buzzer

from Simon

is honestly the most

validating thing

that has happened to me

since I've been on the show.

I started to actually believe

that I have a good voice.

It makes me feel like

I can do anything.

- Everyone is beginning to see

what I've always seen in Kechi,

just how special--

[clears throat]

[emotional music]

How special she is.

- When you're faced

with a difficult obstacle,

the only way out is to take

that first step.

And I feel like that's what

being a champion is,

making that conscious decision

to not stay in darkness.

Every time I overcome

an obstacle,

I feel that much stronger.

And now to have the chance

to win this...

oh my God, that would be--

that would be so incredible.

[cheers and applause]

["Opportunity" plays]

Under the glow of

A very bright light

I turn my face towards

The warm night sky

And I'm not afraid

Of a thousand eyes

When you're above

500 smiles

Oh, I used to think

What wouldn't I give

For a moment like this

This moment, this gift

[cheering]

Oh

Now look at me

And this opportunity

I'm putting on my best show

Under the spotlight

I'm starting my life

Big dreams becoming real

tonight

So look at me

And this opportunity

You're witnessing my moment

[cheers and applause]

You see

[cheers and applause]

- Kechi!

[cheers and applause continue]

Simon, how you feeling

about this?

- Kechi, there's always

one word that comes back to me

to describe you...

and that is "inspiration."

You are one of my favorite

contestants.

"The Champions" final would not

have been complete without you,

that's all I can say.

You are a treasured star.

I love you.

- Howie.

- You know what?

You just make my heart burst.

And I love looking at

your mom's face

while you're on stage

and watch her heart burst.

And I think you do that

to all of America.

You are a champion inside

and out, young lady.

[cheers and applause]

- Mel B.

- Well, I do think

you have become

one of America's

favorite acts.

And we've witnessed

your voice mature into

a beautiful-sounding voice.

Having said that,

you're probably not gonna

like me, but I think--

- Don't go there.

- This song for me--

- Don't go there.

- We lost you a little bit.

I feel like we did lose you

a little bit.

- Sorry, I don't think

you're booing loud enough.

- I'm just saying it

from my opinion.

That's all.

[booing]

- Kechi...

what do you feel

about what Mel B said?

- I always appreciate

honest feedback,

regardless of what it's like

or how it sounds.

I think that that's

the best way

to grow as an artist,

so thank you.

- Well, good luck tonight.

People, let's hear it

one more time for Kechi.

[cheers and applause]

- This guys just dominates

the stage.

He's a powerhouse singer

who takes the roof off

every time he performs.

It's Brian Justin Crum.

[cheers and applause]

- When I was a kid

school was hard for me.

I never really had a place

that I belonged.

- Because Brian was picked on

by other kids,

it broke his heart, really.

He just had a big struggle.

He found his life in music,

he really did.

- My mom put me into

the musical theater program

after school.

Being onstage was

the first time that

I ever felt like I was

celebrated,

and it made me different

in a good way.

[siren wails]

Music became my escape.

- He just had a dream.

When he was 13, he told me

he was gonna sing on Broadway.

I was like, "Okay, Brian."

[laughs]

- As I've been trying to chase

this dream of mine,

"America's Got Talent"

has really been

the beginning of me

finding my confidence.

So, coming back for

"Champions,"

I really wanted to go back

to my roots

and sing something that

was theatrical.

- Brian Justin Crum!

- The fact that I was

voted through to this finale,

it means so much

and I'm grateful.

And I definitely feel like

I have some

unfinished business here.

I think, this time around,

singing these songs

is gonna be my chance to win.

[cheers and applause]

["Never Enough" begins]

- Trying to hold my breath

Let it stay this way

Can't let this moment end

You set off a dream in me

Getting louder now

Can you hear it echoing

All the shine of

a thousand spotlights

All the stars we steal

from the night sky

Will never be enough

Never be enough

Towers of gold are

still too little

These hands could hold

the world

But it'll never be enough

Never be enough

[cheers and applause]

For me, never, never

Never, never

Never for me, for me

For me

For me, for me, for me

[cheers and applause]

For me

[cheers and applause]

- Whoa.

[cheers and applause continue]

- Brian Justin Crum!

- That was amazing.

- Wow.

Mel B.

- That was massive.

You know what I like about you,

is you take us somewhere.

And you start off small,

then you get big.

That is how you do a proper

slam dunk, in my opinion.

[cheers and applause]

- Simon, what do you think

about this performance?

- You've come back and proved

a point to us

that you are a champion.

I believe this performance

may change your life.

Um, and thank you for

coming back.

That was a magic moment.

- Thank you.

- Brian, what do you think

about what the judges

had to say about your

performance tonight?

- I just--I respect you all

so much.

And this has been such a long

journey for me,

from the time I first stepped

onto this exact stage to now.

And I thank you all so much

for this opportunity,

and I'm so grateful

to all of you.

And...I just--I--my heart is

very full right now.

- Well, good luck tonight,

Brian.

Everybody, let's hear it

one more time

for Brian Justin Crum!

[cheers and applause]

- The judges put this act

through as a wildcard,

and it's easy to see why.

Not only was he a superstar

NFL long snapper,

he's now

a world-class magician.

It's Jon Dorenbos.

[cheers and applause]

- It's funny how the magic

of life plays itself out.

So many things in my life

have been

because of a second chance.

I was really proud

of my first performance on

"Champions."

- Leaving the competition

is...

Jon Dorenbos.

[squawking]

- Playing in the NFL,

I was taught that

when you lose,

you figure it out.

What could I have done

differently that

would have got me that

extra vote that

maybe would have

sent me through.

And then all of a sudden,

I got the call

that I'm a wildcard.

- He's been through so much

in his life,

from losing his parents

at such a young age

to losing his dream of being

a professional football

player,

because he almost died

of a heart aneurysm.

Jon is such a fighter.

It makes me so proud to be

his wife

and to stand next to him.

- I've been a wildcard

my whole life.

I believe that everything

happens for a reason,

and I believe that

there's magic everywhere.

And now to have

a second chance here,

I know that I'm in

the right spot and that

I'm doing what I'm meant

to be doing.

I'm here to win it.

[cheers and applause]

[rock music]

Yeah, baby.

Thank you.

Man.

What's going on, baby?

Oh, man.

It is good to be here.

I'm the wildcard, baby,

it's time to have some fun.

I'mma tell ya.

All right, here's the deal,

I got four chalkboards.

They're numbered one, two,

three, and four.

Now, Simon, Heidi, Mel, Howie,

you guys are gonna choose

which chalkboard is gonna

represent you guys.

So, hey, you don't know

what's behind there.

I've drawn something

and I've written some stuff

on each one.

We're gonna get to it

in a little bit.

So, Simon, you want--

- Obviously, number one.

- All right, number one it is.

Simon, number one.

Heidi, guess what.

Same thing, do you want

two, three, or four?

- Yeah, I would like to be

the number two then.

- Number two it is.

You guys are making this

easy on me.

Mel B, three or four?

- I will go for

the number three.

- Three it is.

Mel B...

- Oh, I know what I wanna be.

- Howie, my man, number four.

Now, you guys had

a free choice.

This is what I love about

this show.

This show changed my life.

Howie, you've toured

the country, man.

You've toured the world.

You've sold out venues

all over the place.

- Right.

- And I wanna be just like you.

So, I actually got cities

off of your tour schedule.

So, here's a bunch of

cities and states

of places that you've performed

that I wanna perform one day.

- Okay.

- So, we're gonna pick one

right now.

When I riffle, say stop.

- Are you ready?

- Yes.

- Say stop.

- Stop riffling.

- You wanna keep going

or do you want that--

- No, I wanna stop.

- Are you sure?

- I really need to stop.

- Okay.

There you go.

Don't look at it.

- Okay.

- Slide it out,

keep it right there.

- All right.

- I started AGT doing

a card trick.

So, Mel B, we're gonna do

just that.

I'm gonna do a card trick.

I'm gonna make it

really simple on ya.

All you're gonna do is as

I riffle through here,

all you gotta do is say stop.

Are you ready?

So, just say stop.

- Stop.

- Right here?

Watch carefully.

I'm gonna rip a corner.

Like so.

Queen of hearts.

Hold on the queen, Mel.

Heidi, let me see your hand.

It's when you take the corner

that that corner disappears,

just like that.

Gone.

Now, there's

a stack of pictures

that have been

sitting right here.

I haven't touched them.

I haven't come close to them.

Why don't we pick up those

pictures and see if there's

something underneath.

- Pick up everything?

- Pick 'em all up.

You're gonna find one thing.

There's a corner to a card

right there.

Now, hold on.

Mel B, take that corner,

make sure it fits perfect,

right there.

I don't wanna touch it.

- I can't get it.

- Get it, get it.

- She's got nails.

- Howie to the rescue.

- Yeah, there we go.

- Make sure it fits perfect,

right there.

- Yes, it does.

- And that is, in fact,

the corner.

Now, Heidi...

I love this.

Heidi, your whole career

you've done outrageous--

what is this?

- Well, I'm a witch, obviously.

- At Halloween,

you go over the top.

But these are pictures of you

whether it's Halloween,

whether it's red carpets,

it's just all the cool events

that you've been able to go to.

- Yeah?

- And guess what, you're gonna

do, the same thing Howie did.

All you're gonna do

as I riffle is just say stop.

- Should I slide my hand in it?

- Whatever you want.

- All righty.

- I'm ready when you are.

- Riffle it.

Shh...

- Whoop.

Okay, don't look at it.

- I'm not looking.

- Slide it over just like this.

Simon, I've got

a deck of cards here.

All you gotta do is

just touch one.

Just touch it.

Now, look--hold on.

I'm gonna give you

the opportunity.

Do you wanna keep this one,

or do you wanna change

your mind?

- I'll keep it.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Remember this moment.

I'm giving you a chance

to change your mind.

- No, I'm gonna keep it.

- Here it is.

Take it and look at it

if you want.

Howie, what did you pick?

- What this is?

- Turn it over.

Show everybody what it is.

You and I are going somewhere,

buddy, and where is it?

- Tulsa, Oklahoma.

- There it is.

Hey, let me see it.

Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The judges had a free choice

of whatever chalkboard

they wanted.

Hey, Terry, can you do me

a favor?

There's a chalkboard

with Howie's face on there.

Why don't you go and turn that

chalkboard around for me, man,

'cause I drew something

on that chalkboard.

Howie, you and I are going to

Tulsa, Oklahoma.

[cheers and applause]

- How?

- Mel B...

You could have selected

any card you wanted to.

You chose the queen of hearts.

Terry, spin that thing around

for me.

I had a premonition that

not only would she gonna choose

that chalkboard,

but you were gonna pick

the queen of hearts.

[cheers and applause]

- That's crazy.

- Heidi...

- How is that possible?

You've done a lot of

cool things in your career.

What did you do today

with that picture?

- I was a schmetterling

for Halloween.

- What is that?

- I was a butterfly.

- That's a--that's a butterfly?

- Yeah.

- That's amazing.

You chose number two.

Terry, do me a favor,

turn over number two.

I made a prediction and drew

a picture before the show

that you were gonna be

a butterfly.

- Yes!

Wow.

- Oh, hold on.

We got one left.

We got one left.

Simon, I told you--there was

a defining moment

when you could have

changed your mind,

and you said, "No."

- Yeah.

- You picked a card.

- I did.

- What do you got?

- Three of clubs.

You had the first choice.

You could have chosen any

chalkboard you wanted,

one, two, three, or four.

My man went with number one.

I wrote a card down on

the back of that chalkboard.

Terry, let me see it, my man.

- All right.

- Turn that around.

That there is

the three of clubs.

Thank you, thank you.

But hold on.

- That's crazy.

Howie, in the quarter finals

of "America's Got Talent,"

I had a huge map on that stage.

Roll that clip.

- No.

- Just like that,

in Season 11,

you chose Oklahoma,

just like you did today.

- How's that possible?

- Mel B...

You chose any card

you wanted to,

and you chose a heart.

Heart's follow you everywhere

you go,

because in the first round of

"America's Got Talent:

The Champions,"

I asked the audience to write

words of what

described a champion.

You could have chosen any words

you wanted to.

You selected whatever words

you wanted, and lo and behold,

the word you chose: heart.

Predicted back then

and there's your heart.

Now, Heidi...

- Oh, my God.

- I believe it was

the semifinal, season 11.

I sat up here

and I had all you guys think of

whatever you wanted,

and you could draw

whatever you want.

And in season 11, I made

a prediction that today

you'd go back to that Halloween

party as a butterfly.

Right there.

You drew a butterfly.

- No.

- Woah.

- [laughs]

- Now, hold on.

The moment it comes down to.

I wanted to end my journey

the same way I started,

because in season 11,

when he just thought of

any card he wanted to,

my man Simon

picked the three of clubs,

right there,

just like he picked today.

- No.

- And I ended

The same way I started...

with Simon Cowell holding

the three of clubs.

My name's Jon Dorenbos, baby.

It's a great day to be alive.

Peace out.

I love every single one of you.

Thank you, guys.

My man.

[cheers and applause]

- Jon Dorenbos!

- Wow.

- Come up here, man.

[cheers and applause continue]

Wow.

Heidi, your thoughts.

- Yes!

-I mean,

you are multi-talented.

You really, really are.

I mean, you speak

from the heart,

and you boost our spirit.

Every time when

you come onto the stage,

you're so entertaining,

and so good.

[cheers and applause]

- Simon.

- You've come back and just

blown the roof off

with what I've just seen.

I mean, genuinely, I'm not just

saying that, Jon.

We're not voting,

the 50 states are voting,

you have a shot.

- Thank you.

- And that was amazing.

- Thank you.

- I mean, purely fantastic.

- Awesome, man.

- Howie, your thoughts.

- Oh, my gosh,

I'm, like, just stunned.

I really am.

There are only two words

to describe

what you did tonight

and that is: wild card.

- My gosh, I'll take it, baby.

- You are a champ.

- Now, Jon,

being a wildcard tonight,

how do you feel

about coming back?

- Let me tell you.

I'm gonna share something with

you guys for the first time,

'cause my wife and I haven't

told anybody.

Before this show,

a few days ago magic happened.

We got a bun in the oven

and this guy right here

is about to be a dad.

Yeah.

And my wife's out there.

Baby, I love you.

And a little Dorenbos is

gonna be running around here,

so take cover.

[laughs]

- Well, good luck tonight, Jon.

Thank you.

Please give it up for

Jon Dorenbos.

[cheers and applause]

- This singer has got more

heart and soul than

just about anybody on

the planet, and she's only 11.

She's Howie's Golden Buzzer.

It's Angelica Hale.

[cheers and applause]

- You know, when I first

walked out on my AGT stage,

I had a dream to be performing

for my whole entire life.

- Who do you wanna be like?

- I wanna be the next

Whitney Houston.

- Wow.

[cheering]

- I have a feeling

we may be looking

at a star in the future.

- It's not just

a dream anymore,

I'm living my dream.

- Let's get a take here,

are you ready for it?

- Yeah.

And all those things

I didn't say

- It's crazy to think about

just seven years ago,

you know, we almost lost her.

She was fighting for her life

in the hospital.

And now here she is,

11 years old

and, you know, sky's the limit.

- This is my fight song

And now, I'm in the finals of

"America's Got Talent:

The Champions."

I'm a little more nervous

than before,

because it all comes down

to this.

My power's turned on

Like, I'm competing against

Susan Boyle and Paul Potts.

But honestly,

I believe in myself.

This is my fight song

I thought it was impossible

to get out of the hospital,

to be where I am today.

Well, look where I am,

and I'm not gonna stop

fighting.

And I'm gonna do as much

as I can to win

"AGT: The Champions."

[cheers and applause]

I remember years ago

Someone told me

I should take caution

When it comes to love

I did, I did

And you were strong

and I was not

My illusion, my mistake

I was careless, I forgot

I did

And now, when all is done

There's nothing to say

And if you're done with

embarrassing me

On your own,

you can go ahead

Tell them

Whoa-oh

[vocalizing]

Write it on the skyline

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Tell them all I was happy

And my heart is broken

All my scars are open

Tell them what I hoped

would be

Impossible, impossible

Impossible, impossible

Impossible

Whoo

Impossible

Impossible

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

[cheers and applause continue]

- Angelica Hale!

- Whoo!

[giggles]

- [laughs]

- Howie, Angelica.

- Oh, my gosh.

Angelica, you're living up

to your name of being an angel.

The song lives up to

its name, you know?

"Impossible."

You're only 11 years old.

I don't know...

[cheers and applause]

How the 50 states can choose

a winner.

You're wonderful.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- I have to say that was such

an obvious improvement

since we last saw you.

And I could see how committed

you were

and then how relieved you were

at the end

that you got everything right.

It was absolutely brilliant.

- Thank you.

- Well done.

- [giggles]

- Simon.

- I've said this to you

and a lot of other people

who've come back

and compete again.

To me, you deserve so much

respect just for doing that,

because it showed me how much

you really, really wanted this.

Well done.

- Thank you, thank you.

- All right, well, good luck

tonight, Angelica.

- Thank you.

- Best of luck to

Angelica Hale.

[cheers and applause]

- She wants that title.

- She wants that title.

- She wants that title.

- Exactly.

- She's a fighter.

- I put this act into

the finals

with the Golden Buzzer.

When I saw her perform,

it was a no-brainer.

She creates beautiful art

with sand.

Here's Kseniya Simonova.

[cheers and applause]

- Before my last performance,

I was pretty nervous.

It had been nine years since

I first stepped on

the "Ukraine's Got Talent"

stage.

But when I stepped to my

sand table,

I felt like I'm at home.

[cheering]

Although I don't see

the audience,

I only see my table, I felt

they're together with me.

They're feeling the story,

which I'm showing.

And then Terry in his beautiful

red costume was running...

- I have never been

more impressed

by the ability to move people

the way you did today.

[cheering]

- I never expected that

I will see Golden Buzzer

in real life, like,

standing on the stage

and this golden rain

fall on me.

I felt like my heart,

which stopped beating,

started beating again.

Tonight, through sand,

I'm going to show the world

love can save the life

of a person.

[triumphant music]

It's a story which is

about war.

But it's also the story

of a family, of love,

of life and death.

I have to represent

my country.

So, tonight I'm ready to do

what I have to do to win.

[cheers and applause]

[powerful instrumental music]

[cheers and applause]

[radio static]

- Hostilities exist.

There is no blinking at

the fact

that our people,

our territory,

and our interests are in

grave danger.

With confidence in

our armed forces,

with the unbounding

determination...

[bombs exploding]

[gunfire and commotion]

[tense instrumental music]

- Look how fast she goes.

She's like--shh.

["Taps" playing]

[solemn piano music]

[applause]

[applause]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- "Life always wins."

"Love..."

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.

- Kseniya Simonova!

[cheers and applause continue]

- Thank you.

- Mel B.

- You know,

I think I'm discovering

everyone's really giving it

more than their all.

I mean, what you crammed into

such a short amount of time

was a proper, full-on--

not just story,

it was a whole series of books.

It's like you left everything

right there on the sand.

And I really do hope

the superfans vote

for you tonight.

Well done.

- Heidi.

- I mean, you really are

a true artist.

And it's so amazing to sit here

and watch you do this live

in front of our very eyes,

'cause you're so in it.

You know, I can see it,

how you got mad

when the war started

and you're all like--wah.

I mean, it was really, truly

amazing to watch this.

I loved it.

Really good.

- Thank you.

- Simon.

- I never thought I would be

saying on a show

I understand the power of sand.

But this was one of the most

beautiful, creative things

I have ever seen on this show.

Genuinely.

- [inaudible]

- Please give it up

one more time

for Kseniya Simonova.

[cheers and applause]

- Here's a champion from

"Britain's Got Talent"

and one of the biggest success

stories in the history of

"Got Talent" worldwide.

He's opera singer, Paul Potts.

- Woah.

- Woah.

[cheers and applause]

- [singing]

Singing's who I am.

And I have very high

expectations of myself,

'cause I don't wanna fail

myself.

I want to be constantly

improving.

- Paul Potts!

- I think the first thing

I felt when

the result came through

was relief.

[laughs]

Not to made it through

to the final,

I would have been really

disappointed in myself.

Somebody that's been with me

through thick and thin

is my wife, Jules.

She's always wanted me

to continue doing what I love,

even when we couldn't afford

for me to do it.

Before "Britain's Got Talent,"

we were struggling

financially then.

- Things were tough.

Paul, at times,

was working two jobs.

I was working my job, doing

as much overtime as possible.

You know, we were just trying

to make it, day by day.

But I always believed, um,

in his opera.

- I think Jules had

a little more belief in me

than I had in myself.

So I'm really excited that

she's joining me here.

In a way, that makes things

come full circle,

because she was there

in the audience when

I won "Britain's Got Talent."

[cheering]

I can't not give everything.

I cannot walk away from

that stage

still having something left

to give.

I'm really happy to have gotten

through to the final.

And so now, I have to step up

to the plate as a winner.

[cheers and applause]

[dramatic opera music]

[singing in Italian]

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- Whoo!

- Yes.

- Wow.

[cheers and applause]

- Whoa.

- Thank you.

- Paul Potts.

[cheers and applause continue]

- Wow.

- Howie, what do you think

about this performance?

- I--I loved it.

I mean, I'm not an opera fan.

I am a Paul Potts fan.

I love what you do.

You couldn't have done any more

to make it any better.

It was perfection.

[cheers and applause]

- Mel B.

- I mean, you stand there

and you deliver

such a stellar, killer

performance.

And then you just go,

"Yeah, that's what I did.

Nailed it."

Like it's just nothing.

I feel so honored and so lucky

to be sitting

in the best seat in the house.

I can't praise you anymore,

that's it.

It's amazing, you're amazing.

- Simon, were you moved

tonight?

- More than moved.

The underdog, who was written

off by the music business,

won the first season of

"Britain's Got Talent,"

and you got the career

you wanted.

That is why you are on

the final of "Champions,"

because you are a champion.

I have a feeling

you have a really good chance

of winning tonight after that.

It was brilliant.

[cheers and applause]

- Now, Paul, I understand

you have someone very special

you'd like to dedicate

your performance to tonight.

- Aww.

- There is

an "America's Got Talent"

winner that isn't here

tonight...

Neal E. Boyd.

- Yep.

- Like me, he came on

as an underdog,

he gave his all, he won.

And one thing you can never

take away is the fact that

he is a champion.

- Hear, hear.

- He is a winner.

[cheers and applause]

- Let's hear it one more time

for Paul Potts.

- Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

- America loves a magician.

And they don't come any better

than the winner of AGT 2018.

Now he's hoping to be the best

in the world.

He's Shin Lim.

[cheers and applause]

- I had so many doubts about

auditioning for

"America's Got Talent."

But my fianc?e, Casey,

she believed in me,

and she pushed me to go

for it.

When she tells me that

she thinks that I'm the best

magician in the world,

she really believes it.

Especially when I don't,

'cause I definitely don't.

- Shin Lim!

[cheering]

- Ever since I won,

it's just been nonstop.

- You're amazing.

This is incredible.

- I have been much busier

than I was before.

- What is going on?

Shin Lim, everybody.

- It's all because of her.

None of that would have

happened.

I wouldn't even be here at

"Champions."

[uplifting music]

I may have won

"America's Got Talent,"

but this is a whole nother

ball game.

When else am I gonna be able to

test myself alongside

the best in the world?

I can't help but think

in my head,

what can I do to take magic

to the next level?

And see how far magic can

actually take me.

I think with Casey by my side,

I could win this whole thing.

[cheers and applause]

[mysterious music]

Howie.

- Yes.

- Just take one of these cards.

Show it to the camera.

- To the camera?

- There.

I'll have the card.

Give it.

Can you open the marker?

- Yes.

- Write your name

right over there.

- Okay.

[cheers and applause]

- Howie.

- Yeah.

- Stand up.

Stand up.

- Oh.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, yeah, can I have the pen?

- How is that possible?

- I'll have the pen?

You can sit back down.

- Thank you.

- That's your card.

[cheering]

- [laughs]

No.

[cheers and applause]

- [gasps]

[cheers and applause]

- Howie, that's your name,

right?

- Yes.

- Pick one of these cards.

Show it to the camera.

I'll have the card.

Can you open up the marker?

Write your name

right over here.

Very good, show the camera.

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- [shouts]

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

[snaps]

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.

[cheers and applause]

- What the...

Oh, man.

[cheers and applause continue]

Everybody, Shin Lim.

[cheers and applause continue]

- It's even better up close.

- I'm so sad that

I didn't get to go.

- Oh, my God.

- Man, I wish I knew how

you did that.

Where did the cards go?

- Where did the cards--okay.

Well, a lot of people do

ask that, Terry.

Um, Howie, can you try

opening your cup?

Just open it up.

- No.

- Are you--no.

[laughter]

No.

[cheers and applause]

- Ah!

- Is that your card, Terry?

It looks like...

- That's my card

and Howie's card.

- Stop it.

- No.

- Unreal.

Howie, listen, we were there.

What do you think of that?

I've...

- I had so much to say,

but now I realize I'm holding

cards that were in your mouth.

[laughter]

Why would you do that?

- Oh, I have a very clean

mouth.

- There we go,

a little sanitizer.

Heidi, were you impressed?

- Of course I was impressed.

I mean, Shin,

you did it yet again.

You know, another...

[clicks tongue]

jaw-dropping performance.

- Thank you, Heidi.

- Simon, the Great Shin Lim.

- I don't think many people

having won the show

would have had the guts

to come back again this year

and do what you've done.

And for that,

you have my utmost respect.

- Thank you so much, Simon.

- It is the best of the best,

and still within that context,

you were amazing.

Literally amazing.

- Well, good luck tonight,

Shin.

One more time for

the Great Shin Lim.

- When you think of

"Got Talent" stars,

one just leaps out.

After her very first audition

on "Britain's Got Talent,"

she became a household name

around the world.

She's in the finals thanks to

Mel B's Golden Buzzer.

Here's Susan Boyle.

- Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

- Ever since I was a tiny tot,

I've always loved to sing.

As a little girl,

I felt very nervous.

I felt very under-confident.

Music, it helps you

through it,

gives you strength.

My mother was very supportive

of my singing.

She had encouraged me singing

in the church choir.

She died in 2007.

My mother wanted me

to chase my dream.

- What's your name, darling?

- I made a promise to her

that I would do it.

Susan Boyle.

Without my mother, I wouldn't

be the singer I am today.

I'm still following the dream.

I wanted to compete at

"The Champions,"

because it was a challenge

and I love a challenge.

- Susan Boyle!

- This is my golden

opportunity

to have that promise

fulfilled.

When Mel B gave me that

Golden Buzzer,

I was pleased,

but was very shocked, as well.

It's hard to put

into words, really.

Everybody has dreams,

and you have to

follow those dreams.

I feel I've been given

the chance to follow mine.

Now I would love to win.

[cheers and applause]

["I Dreamed a Dream" begins]

I dreamed a dream

in time gone by

- This is the song.

- When hope was high

And life worth living

I dreamed that love

would never die

I prayed that God

Would be forgiving

When I was young

and unafraid

And dreams were made

and used and wasted

There was no ransom

to be paid

No song unsung,

no wine untasted

But the tigers come

at night

With their voices

soft as thunder

As they tear

your hopes apart

And they turn your dreams

To shame

[cheers and applause]

And still I dream

he'll come to me

And we would live

the years together

But there are dreams

that cannot be

And there are storms

we cannot weather

I had a dream my life

would be

So different

from this hell I'm living

So different now

from what it seems

[cheers and applause]

Now life has killed

the dream

I dreamed

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

Thank you.

[cheers and applause continue]

- Susan Boyle.

- Woo-hoo!

- Mel B.

- You're so classy and elegant

and effortless.

I mean, if I had

another Golden Buzzer

I'd press it again and again

and again for you.

You're just brilliant,

absolutely brilliant, Susan.

- Howie, how 'bout you?

- You know, the word 'champion'

isn't even enough

to describe who and how

you perform.

You are more than a champion.

So, good luck to our superfans.

- Yeah.

- They have

a really tough decision.

- Heidi, do you agree?

- Yes, I mean, Susan Boyle is

in the building, everybody.

Yes!

You singing that song

is everything.

I mean, it gives me

goose pimples,

and I just loved it.

I love you.

- Goosebumps.

- Yeah, it was amazing.

It was absolutely amazing.

Thank you.

- Do you have goose pimples

or bumps, Simon?

- I have goosebumps on

my goosebumps.

Oh, my God, Susan,

that really, really took

me back all those years.

I can remember vividly

how disgusting I was

on the day before you sang

and then what you did

and what happened afterwards.

And to end the show,

it's been an amazing night.

I mean, seriously,

it was fantastic.

You're a champion.

[cheers and applause]

- Yes.

- Susan, could you

please tell us

what it's like to back on

the "Got Talent" stage.

- I enjoyed every second,

and I thoroughly enjoyed

being in America.

Thank you all so much.

[cheers and applause]

- Please give it up for

the great Susan Boyle.

[cheers and applause]

- That was amazing.

- Yeah.

- That brought back so many

good memories.

- What a great closer

for the evening.

- We started with 12 finalists.

They've gone above and beyond

everything they've

ever done before.

And now the pressure moves to

our panel of superfans

from the 50 states,

because they are gonna

pick the winner.

The vote is on.

One act will be crowned

"America's Got Talent:

The Champions,"

best in the world.

We'll get that big result

in our season finale next week.

From the finalists, the judges,

and from me, Terry Crews,

good night, America.

[cheers and applause]
