[upbeat music]

- Are you ready?

- All right, today is a jam-packed day.

The audience is one of the biggest

that we've had all season.

- I can't hear you!

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, what's your name?

- Once the contestants come into the building,

they'll go into the holding room.

There's makeup mirrors where they can get ready.

- * Always had high, high hopes *

- As Simon says, two minutes can change their lives.

So it's our job to make sure that they feel ready to go.

- One minute, one minute.

[buzzer]

- Who is this?

Now, those are cool glasses. - Thank you.

- Why can't I have glasses like that?

What's your name? - Mia.

- Mia, it's the day!

[cheers and applause]

Just love every second of it.

- Simon came right up to me and talked about my glasses.

That was crazy.

Like, I was like, OMG!

- How old are you, by the way?

- I'm 13. - 13?

Wow!

- To me, you're still 12.

- I'm still 8 to you.

- Yes, you are.

- This is scary.

There's the sign!

- What are you going to be doing on "AGT"?

- I'll be singing.

- Now, how did you get started singing?

- I started doing, like, little competitions in my town.

And I had this little thing called

"Sussex County Got Talent."

Like, is this a dream? Like--

- No, it's real.

- I feel shocked that I'm even here in the first place.

So I'm like, ah, my god!

- Yes, it was crazy.

It's way bigger than I thought.

I'm really nervous.

- I have to, like, calm myself down

because I'm way too excited.

[Panic! At The Disco's "High Hopes"]

- * Had to have high, high hopes for a living *

* Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing *

* Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision *

- Sofía, you have the last Golden Buzzer.

What's it going to take to hit that Golden Buzzer?

- Seriously.

- I don't want any pressure because I

will do it when I feel it.

- Oh!

- Let's get this going!

The show starts now, y'all!

[cheers and applause]

- You can go out there.

And your parents can come with me, OK?

All right, go on our, Miss Mia.

- * Had to have high, high hopes for a living *

* Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing *

* Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision *

- Yes! Hi.

- Hi.

- Mia, how are you doing?

- I'm doing good.

- I know your name because we met earlier.

Tell everyone your full name, please.

- My name is Mia Soleil Sanchez.

I'm 13 years old.

And I'm from Franklin, New Jersey.

- Yeah!

- Ow! [cheers and applause]

- New Jersey in the house!

- I told Mia she had the coolest glasses I've ever,

ever seen. - Yes.

- Definitely, they're so cool.

- Now, Mia, tell me about life at home.

- My life at home, well, I have ten people in my house.

So it's kind of crazy.

- That's quite a lot.

- Yeah.

- And are they excited about you being on the show?

- Yeah, they're really supportive of me.

My whole family is.

- Yeah?

So I'm guessing you're going to sing.

So tell me what the song is called.

- I'm doing "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish.

- Billie Eilish. I love Billie Eilish.

- Well, OK, great. OK, well, look-

- Wow.

- Mia, I'm not going to ask you any more questions.

So, good luck.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[gentle guitar music]

- * When I'm away from you *

* I'm happier than ever *

* Wish I could explain it better *

* I wish it wasn't true *

[cheers and applause]

* You're in your Benz *

* Driving home under the influence *

* You scare me to death, *

* But I'm wasting my breath *

* Because you only listen to your-- *

* I don't relate to you *

* I don't relate to you, no *

* 'Cause I'd never treat me this badly *

* You made me hate this city *

* And I don't talk bad about you on the internet *

* Never told anyone anything bad *

* 'Cause that's just embarrassing *

* You were my everything *

* All that you did was make me so sad *

* You ruined everything good *

* Always said you were misunderstood *

* Made all my moments your own *

* Just leave me alone *

[cheers and applause]

* *

* Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh *

- Wow.

[cheers and applause]

- Yeah!

[cheers and applause]

- Mia Soleil Sanchez, I think that that's a name

that people are going to know tomorrow.

I love everything about you.

And I think America and the world will love you, too.

- Thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

- You sounded so good up there.

I love the look that you're serving.

I think you're so cute.

And you're a very gutsy young lady.

I'm very proud of you.

Well done. - Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Mia, I think you are a star.

[cheers and applause]

- You know what was cool is that you

kind of grew with the song.

And that's not easy.

And I think that means that you've got great taste.

And you know where you're going.

So I really, really, really like this audition.

[cheers and applause]

We're going to vote.

Howie?

- Can I give her her second yes?

I know there's going to be another one.

- OK, I'll give her her first one.

- I'm going to be her third!

- I'd like to be your fourth.

- Thank you so much.

That is a star.

- Is this a beautiful thing for you?

- Yeah.

- * Gone are the dark clouds *

* The dawn has come *

- Oh, my god, hey, guys!

- Hey.

- Hi!

- I got four yeses, I got four yeses.

- Yay!

- We should have three Golden Buzzers.

- I would love to have ten.

- Coming up--

- Ahh!

- You can't do that.

- Thank you so much for appearing on that stage.

[laughter]

- I'm a little scared. - Why?

[screaming]

- Ahh!

- That was genius!

- I think you better phone your mom and dad.

- Golden Buzzer time? No way.

Is it-- is that real?

[suspenseful music]

[cheers and applause]

- Ahh!

- These are my kids, Leif and Leila.

- And Lucky.

- And Lucky.

All right, I'm going to work.

Me and my beautiful wife, Anastasia, we go to downtown.

Please welcome, to Sin City.

Why? I don't know why, maybe thrill.

Oh, I love this place.

And I love America!

So I invite you, come with me.

I show you the place where I do my show for all night long.

Here we are, Fremont Street experience.

I try to find a spot.

Here is spot two.

Not big crowd, but still.

I start performing in the evening time.

Ah, it's 3:30 a.m.

And finally, I'm done for tonight.

Check this out, guys.

It's Shin Lim on the big plaza.

All my life, I work hard.

So maybe someday I will be on the big board in Las Vegas,

if I won "America's Got Talent."

It's my dream.

[cheers and applause]

Hello, America!

- Very nice to meet you.

Tell us about the two of you and why you're here

and why this is important.

- You know, it's a big stage.

It's important for every good artist.

- Yeah.

- And we are together as a family, 30 years.

- Wow.

- Wow!

- Do you live in America or somewhere else?

- We live in America for four years.

- OK.

[cheers and applause]

Do you think you can win?

- I hope so.

- We're rooting for you.

We always say, two minutes can change your life.

[cheers and applause]

That already looks difficult.

[Jonas Brothers' "What A Man Gotta Do"]

* Cut my heart about one, two times *

* Don't need to question the reason *

* I'm yours, I'm yours *

* I'd move the Earth or lose a fight *

* Just to see you smile *

* 'Cause you got no flaws, no flaws *

* I'm not trying to be your part-time lover *

* Sign me up for that full-time *

- Uh-oh.

- * I'm yours, all yours *

* So what a man gotta do? *

* What a man gotta do *

- Oh!

- * To be totally locked up by you? *

* What a man gotta say? *

* What a man gotta pray? *

* To be your last "good night" and your first "good day" *

* So what a man gotta do? *

* What a man gotta prove? *

* To be totally locked up by you *

- He uses glasses, man.

- * You ain't trying to be wasting time *

* On stupid people *

- And a bowling ball!

- * I'm sure, I'm sure *

- That's a bowling ball, right?

- * So I'd give a million dollars *

* Just for you to grab me by the collar *

* And knock on these doors, these doors *

- No!

- * I'm not trying to be your part-time lover *

* Sign me up for that full-time *

- Ahh!

- * To be totally locked up by you *

* What a man gotta pray? *

* To be your last "good night" *

* And your first "good day"? *

* So what a man gotta do? *

* What a man gotta do? *

* To be totally locked up by you *

- There is no limit to human capability, apparently.

No, no!

- No way that he's going to put this head there.

- What?

[cheers and applause]

- He's on one hand!

- * To be totally locked up by you? *

* Totally locked up by you *

* What a man gotta say? *

Sofía?

- That was the most fun thing I've seen tonight.

[cheers and applause]

You two looked great up there.

It was nerve-racking.

It was exciting.

- I mean, your wife is beautiful.

It was amazing.

- Thank you.

- And you were also not too bad either.

Howie?

- It was really entertaining.

And this show is all about variety.

And this is probably the only show,

there isn't another show, at least in America,

where we could see something like this.

You know what I mean?

And that's the beauty of this show.

So thank you for being here.

- Thank you.

- Every single person in here could

see how difficult it was, how it could have gone

wrong, the amount of skill.

This is what I call a ten, genuinely.

[cheers and applause]

Right.

Now, what we're waiting for.

Howie? - Yes.

- Heidi?

- It's a yes for me.

- Sofía? - Yes!

- We've got people from all over the world coming here.

- It doesn't matter what color you are, how big you are,

how tall you are, short, thin.

You get to come and showcase your talent--

- Yes. - --in front of America.

* *

- It's not just winning.

It's about changing their lives.

- * So know you're not alone *

- In a world of billions and billions

and billions of people, for once, all of America

is going to have eyes right on you.

all: * Settle down *

* It'll all be clear *

* Don't pay no mind to the demons *

* They fill you with fear *

* Trouble, it might drag you down *

* If you get lost, you can always be found *

* Just know you're not alone *

* 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home *

[vocalizing]

* *

* Trouble, it might drag you down *

* If you get lost, you can always be found *

* Just know you're not alone *

[cheers and applause]

[Phillip Phillips' "Home"]

* *

- * Hold on to me as we go *

- What is the name of your group?

- We are the Jerusalem Youth Chorus,

a group of Palestinians and Israelis.

- * Just know you're not alone *

* 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home *

- We believe through music and through working together

and talking to each other, we are taking a step

forward into building that amazing future,

where there is justice.

And there is freedom.

And there is equality.

And there is inclusion.

- Hear, hear.

- What would you do with a million dollars

if you would win?

- We will create more spaces, just like these choruses,

so people can meet people that are different from them,

so we can create this change.

[cheers and applause]

- I have, like, goose bumps a little bit.

It sounded beautiful.

You're harmonizing together.

It was incredible.

- I got those same goose bumps.

This is a world anthem.

We all live on this planet together.

And thank you so much for appearing on that stage.

[cheers and applause]

- Spectacular, heartwarming.

The voices are amazing.

It was inspiring.

I mean, what a treat.

[cheers and applause]

- I love this audition.

[cheers and applause]

You made something very complicated

beautiful through friendship.

- Would you like to start the voting?

- I most certainly would, with a yes.

- Yes!

- Yes!

- You get your fourth yes from me.

- * 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home *

- Ohh!

- Whoa!

* *

- Let me tell you something.

You guys symbolize so much for so many right now.

Thank you, thank you for being here.

Thank you. - Whoo!

- Oh, my God.

* *

- I'm Dian Rene.

I'm 33.

I'm from Cuba, and I'm a singer.

Cuba is not good.

The economy and everything,

it was so bad that I had to leave for a better

opportunity in America.

So, eight years ago, I had to go through a lot of dangers

to get here.

And I'm blessed for being here,

where everything that you work for, you can make it happen.

- * Because I'm going to make this place your home *

- If I'm able to win "America's Got Talent"

with the million-dollar prize, I can bring all my family here.

My family is the most important thing I have.

I found a sacred place--

I found a sacred place.

I'm feeling a little bit nervous.

I'll just try to give them the best I can.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello.

- Hola. Hola. - Welcome.

- Hola!

- What's your name, please?

- I'm Dian Rene.

And I'm from Cuba.

- Oh. - Hello!

- Tell us about you and why you decided to come here.

- Well, this has been my dream since I was born.

Being on this stage means everything for me.

- Sure.

- It's my whole life.

[cheers and applause]

- So you made up your mind, this is going to be the year.

- Hopefully.

- Yeah, I'm guessing you're a singer.

- Yes, I'll be singing, actually, a song

that I have never sung before.

- What do you mean?

Why?

- I was going to sing a song in Spanish.

But they told me that the Spanish lyrics didn't clear.

I had to learn the English version yesterday.

- Yesterday? - So, yeah--

- What? - No!

- I was up all night, trying to learn the lyrics, you know?

- Yeah. Oh, no.

- But hopefully, I'll go right.

Sorry if I say a bad word.

- Don't-- don't apologize.

- [speaking Spanish]

- Don't apologize.

- Gracias.

- So, I'm glad that you told us that.

Anyway, we're wishing you really all the luck.

- Thank you.

- Bravo.

[cheers and applause]

- Tell me another Spanish word for vamonos.

Good luck.

- Buena suerte. - Buena suerte.

- [laughs]

[cheers and applause]

[gentle guitar music]

* *

- * Like a movie scene in the sweetest dream *

* I have pictured us together *

* Now to feel your lips on my fingertips *

* I have to say, it's even better *

* From all of my sadness, the tears that I've cried *

* I have spent all of my life *

- * Waiting for tonight *

* Ohh ohh *

* When you will be here in my arms *

* Waiting for tonight, oh, *

* I've dreamed of this love for so long *

[vocalizing]

[cheers and applause]

* Tender words you say take my breath away *

* Love me now and leave me never *

* I think of the days when the sun used to set *

* On my empty heart * all alone in my bed *

* Tossing and turning emotions were strong *

* I knew I had to hold on *

* Waiting for tonight *

* Oh oh *

* I've been on my own for so long *

- OK, OK, you know what?

I don't think this is working.

[crowd booing]

I don't.

I think we should see you on another day because, you know,

this isn't fair.

- Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

- So you can learn another song, you know,

where you feel comfortable, because you've got to be

given the right opportunity.

- [speaking Spanish]

- OK, thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- We'll see you again.

[cheers and applause]

- You got this.

- I'll see you guys later!

[cheers and applause]

- It wouldn't clear? - Why?

- Why? - In Spanish?

I didn't even think that song is in Spanish.

- Coming up--

- Ahh!

- What are you going to do for us tonight?

- I take on man's greatest weakness.

- We're rooting for you!

- Ahh!

- You guys are the best I have seen.

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- I mean, it's wild because we just started out

in the backyards of Maine and Missouri to

right here at "America's Got Talent."

- Why "AGT"?

- It's the biggest stage there is, you know?

It beats the local bar.

- Yeah, that's very true.

- Here we go, five seconds.

Four, three, two.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello! - Hello.

- What are your names? - I'm Joey.

- I'm Jordan.

- And are you two brothers?

- No, we're not related, just friends.

- Friends for a long time?

- About six years now.

- All right, and where are you from?

- I'm originally from San Antonio, Texas.

But I live in Los Angeles.

- And I live in Sheridan, Wyoming.

- How did you-- how did you guys meet?

- Well, we went through some kind of hard breakups

and decided, if we didn't have our ladies,

well, we'd have bluegrass music.

And we started playing music together.

And we're going to play y'all some upbeat country

music with a little twist.

- All right.

So do you think that you can win this competition?

- 100%.

- Yes?

All right, the stage is yours.

Good luck.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[Spin Doctors' "Two Princes"]

- [laughs]

- * Yeah, one, two, princes kneel before me *

- Simon, what do you think?

- Um, I thought the best part--

- --was when he climbed up.

And the guy could--

[laughter]

Sorry.

- I think if you ever perform again,

I don't think you should sing.

I think you should just climb all over each other.

- That made the act.

- All right, let's vote.

Howie, is it a yes?

- No.

- Sofía?

- I have to say yes.

- Simon?

- I have to say no.

Tell me a little bit about your history.

and was drumming on pots and pans and also moving my body.

And my mom thought I'd like tap dancing.

So she said, put this kid in classes.

And here I am now.

- How did you get into drumming?

- I was blessed enough to go to Juilliard MAP program,

and from there just went off. - You went to Juilliard?

are just incredible, you know?

- Absolutely.

- And that was a great audition.

- Thank you. That means the world.

[cheers and applause]

- I grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

I was into sports, super athletic, baseball, soccer,

gymnastics, always climbing.

And then, when parkour got really big in my hometown,

I opened up my own gym.

I teach, like, hundreds of little kids a week.

I grew up like a gymnast. So I have, like--

- Wow, that's awesome.

- Flipping ability and things like that.

- Oh, wow. - I have three children.

I got two girls.

And then we have a new son.

He's 18 months old.

I really love being a dad.

The reason I started a gym is because

I want to teach families how to move their bodies safely.

- You excited?

- No, I'm good, I'm good.

I'm nervous.

Being on "AGT," I think it comes down to, like,

really chasing your dreams, because I'm living

proof that that's possible.

- Get ready for our next act, ladies and gentlemen!

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Hi, welcome to "America's Got Talent."

What's your name?

- My name is Horse.

I'm 37 years old. - Wow.

- And I'm from glorious Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

- Yes. [cheers and applause]

And tell me about yourself a little bit.

- So, I'm a full-time dad.

And I opened a youth parkour gym in my hometown.

I train kids how to be safe.

- And what are you going to do for us tonight?

- I take on man's greatest weakness.

[together] Ooh.

- And you think this could win you the show?

It could get you a million dollars?

- I'm a little scared.

But if I'm nervous, that means it's probably going to be good.

- OK, well, I can't wait to see what you do.

Go, entertain us.

[cheers and applause]

- All right. Hey, what's up?

Oh.

[The Foundation's "Build Me Up Buttercup"]

* *

- Aw.

- They're bro-ing it out.

* *

* Why do you build me up, build me up *

* Buttercup, baby, just to let me down *

* And mess me around *

- Oh, in his eyes.

- Hot sauce?

- * Say you will *

* But I love you still *

* I need you, I need you, more than anyone, darling *

* You know that I have from the start *

* So build me up, buttercup, *

* Don't break my heart *

* I'll be over at 10:00, you said time and again *

* But you're late *

* I wait around, and then I went to the door *

* I can't take any more *

* It's not you, you let me down again *

* Hey, hey, hey *

* Baby, baby, I try to find *

- No! No!

- * And I'll make you happy *

* I'll be home *

* I'll be beside the phone waiting for you *

- Do not try this at home!

- * Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh *

- * Why do you build me up *

- Oh!

- Oh! Oh!

- Ahh!

- * And mess me around *

* And worst of all, worst of all *

* You never call, baby, when you say you will *

* But I love you still *

* I need you more than anyone, darling *

* You know that I have from the start *

[buzzer]

* Build me up, buttercup, *

* Don't break my heart *

* *

* To you, I'm a toy *

* But I could be the boy you adore *

- No!

- * If you'd just let me know *

- Ay, no!

- * I need you, more than anyone, darling *

* You know I've been there from the start *

- No!

No!

- * Don't break my heart *

[all shouting]

[Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time"]

- Are you OK?

- No! - Yeah, I'm all right.

- It was disgusting.

However, slightly compelling at the same time.

- * Oh, baby, baby, how was I supposed to know? *

- What hurts more, above, down below?

The eyes, or the--

- 100%, the eyes.

- And now what?

Blind and without pelotas.

[laughter]

- Just plain masochism; I didn't like it.

- To be honest, I don't think anybody else in the world

can do this.

It feels like what I'm meant to do.

- It's a call from God. - Why?

[laughter]

- I got to say that I'm a fan of "Jackass"

and those kind of movies.

And I think you take it to a whole other level.

I think what you do is amazing.

It's a yes for me.

- Wow!

- * Hit me baby one more time *

- Sofía?

- No, no, I can't take it.

- I'm saying yes!

[cheers and applause]

- Another yes?

- * Oh baby baby, I shouldn't have let *

- OK, you have two yeses, one no.

- Come on.

- You need three yeses to go on.

- * I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now *

* Don't you know I still believe *

* That you will be here and give me a sign *

- It's a yes!

- * Hit me, baby, one more time *

[cheers and applause]

* Give me a sign *

* Hit me, baby, one more time *

* Don't you know I still believe? *

- Wow.

- * Give me a sign *

* Hit me, baby, one more time *

- Oh! Oh! Oh, jeez!

[cheers and applause]

- "AGT," how we feeling today?

[cheers and applause]

- Are you auditioning today?

- Yeah.

- OK, are you excited?

- I'm nervous.

- Nervous is good. - Yeah.

- I've been saying that to everyone.

If you're not nervous, you don't care.

- Yeah, I was good.

Then I walked by the stage and heard all the screaming.

I'm like, ah!

- Are you guys ready for your next act?

[cheers and applause]

- Now, how long have you been a police officer?

- I've been a police officer for 19 years.

- Wow.

- That's all this gray.

I'm not just a regular police officer.

I'm a school resource officer.

- OK.

- And so what that means is that I work in a school

with at-risk youth.

I want to keep them from going to jail, you know.

- Yeah.

- Every time one of those kids come back

and say, I know that I'm still here today is because you kept

me out of trouble, it means--

that's-- it means everything to me.

Like, I go home and talk to my wife--

ooh!

- * Lean on me *

- Gracious God, we come before you humble.

- Yes. Amen.

Growing up as a kid, I sang at my church.

And so, music is my outlet,

not just a hobby, but an outlet.

- * For it won't be long *

- When I'm going through some stuff, I'll jump on my piano.

It's a coping mechanism for me.

If not, I'll be all over the place.

I need that. I need that in my life.

But I've never in a million years

thought I would be on "AGT."

I can't wait till the kids at the school, Sydney.

- They're gonna be so proud of you.

- Yeah.

My wife is the reason that I'm here today.

She tells me to follow my dream.

- We're ready for you on stage, just this way.

- And music is, it's in me.

Yeah, it's in me.

- * It won't be long *

- All right, here we go, gang.

- * Till I'm gonna need *

* Somebody to lean on *

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon. - We met earlier on.

And what's your name, please?

- My name is Mervin Mayo.

And I'm a Richmond police officer in Virginia,

the state of Virginia.

[cheers and applause]

- Mervin, tell us about you and why you decided to come here.

- Well, I grew up in a housing project in Richmond, Virginia.

And there was a program called the Police Athletic League.

An officer named Curtis Simmons kind of took me under his wing

because I was a little mischievous growing up.

[laughter]

And he kept me safe.

I'm alive today because he kept me out of that.

And I-I thank him for that, because I tell people,

I've seen more murderers as a child--

- Yeah.

- --than I have as a police officer.

- Wow.

So it's important to you.

- I wanted to work with at-risk youth because I

was an at-risk youth.

And so, for 17 years, I've been working with the at-risk youth.

- Wow, wow, that says a lot about you as a person.

- Thank you.

- What made you decide this year to come on the show

and why?

- Well, I've been thinking about it for years.

But I shy away because the only competition I do is karaoke.

- Right.

- So my wife convinced me.

[laughter]

She convinces me to do everything.

Everything I do, my wife convinces me to do.

So, I'm here.

- That's incredible.

- I'll be singing a song tonight.

- OK, well, look, we're rooting for you.

Good luck.

- Thank you.

- What a nice guy.

[cheers and applause]

[gentle piano music]

* *

- * When your legs don't work like they used to before *

* *

* And I can't sweep you off of your feet *

* *

* Will your mouth still remember *

* The taste of my love? *

* *

* Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks? *

* And darling, I will be loving you *

* Till we're 70 *

* *

* And darling, my heart will still fall *

* As hard at 23 *

[cheers and applause]

* I'm thinking about how *

* People fall in love in mysterious ways *

* Maybe it's all part of the plan *

* *

* Well, me, I fall in love with you *

* Every single day *

* And I just want to tell you I am *

* So, baby, now *

[cheers and applause]

* Take me into your loving arms *

* *

* Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars *

* Oh, baby, place your hand *

* On my beating heart *

* *

* I'm thinking out loud that maybe *

* We found love right where we are *

* Oh, we found love *

* Right where we are *

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, you gotta be so proud!

[cheers and applause]

[London Grammar's "Strong"]

* *

- How's that feel, baby?

[cheers and applause]

- I kind of want to see your baby

because you've been glancing over there the whole time.

- Yeah, come on, we've got to meet your wife.

[cheers and applause]

* *

- This is my wife, Michelle.

Michelle is the director of school counseling

for Richmond Public Schools. - Bravo.

- So we both work in the school system.

- How are you, Michelle?

What did you think of that?

- He was amazing.

I'm so proud of him.

- Aw.

- Well, you know what?

You're both great people.

You are the people that allow us to be safe

and people who are in our school system.

You're both serving the community.

And that's a wonderful thing.

I love you.

And I would love hearing from you again.

[cheers and applause]

- Heidi?

- You sounded great up there.

You felt right at home.

I felt the love.

It was beautiful, well done. - Thank you.

Howie?

giving me another chance.

Originally, I'm from Russia.

But now, I'm based in Germany.

but you have a totally different,

cool approach to this.

I had, like, a "Matrix" vibe or something.

You definitely showed things that we have not seen.

- I totally agree.

Absolutely loved it.

[cheers and applause]

It was horrible at the same time.

- It comes down. Make it rain.

- Mom, I made it.

- I will be like--

- It's like New Year's Eve, Christmas, every holiday

wrapped up all in one.

- I'm going for the buzzer, the Golden Buzzer,

specifically, not the red ones.

I'll go for the Golden Buzzer. - The Golden, not the red.

- Yeah. - So you have to specify it.

- Yeah, yeah.

- You ready to meet the judges? - Absolutely.

- Wow.

- What do you do in Australia?

- I'm a comedian.

- Stand-up?

- Yeah, well, a little bit of-- it's a little

bit of a mix of stuff.

- OK. - It's so hard to stand out.

There's so many comedians.

So I've cooked up something a little bit different

for you guys.

- We love that.

- Thank you very much.

- And what is the-- what is the dream?

- My dream, uh, my dream is to move out of my parents' place.

[laughter]

That would be great.

- Is that your dream or their dream?

- A bit of both, yeah, a bit of both.

You know, if I win this, it'd be amazing to move out

to America.

This is the big time, you know, so--

- Do they support your career?

- They're very supportive, you know?

They're a little bit confused as well.

- [laughs]

- They don't always get the jokes.

But yeah, they're very, very supportive.

- All right, surprise us.

- Good luck.

- Thank you very much.

[cheers and applause]

It's so great to be here in America, you know?

I've come all the way from Australia.

My mom's actually come in to watch as well.

Mom's in the crowd tonight.

Mom, give us a yell.

She didn't make it, all right.

But uh, that doesn't bother me.

I believe my dad's actually in here tonight.

Dad, give us a yell.

- Get on with it!

- Fair enough, thanks, Dad.

OK, that's right.

But we got such a great crowd tonight.

Do you mind if we actually test out how good this crowd is?

What I might do, I've got this--

got this whiteboard here with me.

We'll do a little graph for you guys.

So what we'll do is, we'll have a Y-axis.

And we'll have an X-axis.

And we'll call the graph, crowd.

That's you guys.

And then we'll label the X-axis, time.

And we'll label the Y-axis--

and this is where you guys come in, laughs.

- What?

- There's a couple there.

All right, so we'll start there.

And then it rises, it rises.

It keeps going.

There's a couple of fake laughs there.

That's negative.

Oh, it went back up.

It peters out a bit, peters out.

Oh, that's a whoo.

That's not a laugh.

But yeah, that's-- yeah, wow, if we change this to-- if we

change this to cheers, I think we'd get quite the result.

But yeah, that's a little graph.

That's a great crowd.

We got the-- we got the data to prove it.

And, um, actually, I think, now that we've

tested out the crowd, should we maybe

test out the judges, folks?

Is that all right if we test out the judges?

- He's gonna test us? - Oh, God.

- OK, yeah!

- Make sure they're enjoying it.

I'll come down here.

Hello, hello, nice to meet you. - Likewise, likewise.

Sofía, are you-- are you enjoying my set so far?

you're handsome as well.

You're going places, kid.

Keep it up.

Yeah, your accent has changed.

Yeah, that's-- well, yeah, that's crazy.

And Heidi, are you-- are you enjoying the set so far?

- Mm--not really.

- [screams]

- Oh, no, she's possessed!

Yeah, well, Simon, Simon, what do you think so far?

[buzzer]

- OK, mixed reviews, mixed reviews.

That's all right.

But Howie, I mean, you're a comedian yourself.

What do you think of myself?

- Reuben, old boy, this is the greatest

comedy act I've ever seen.

[buzzer]

- Oh.

- I'm just going to go ahead and do it.

It's Golden Buzzer time, baby.

- Wow, you said Golden Buzzer time?

No way, is that--

is that real?

- The crowd's turning on him.

- Yep, I'm going to hit the Golden Buzzer.

- Wow!

Howie wants me to hit the Golden Buzzer.

Are you guys listening? - No.

[buzzer]

- Um, look, Reuben, can I be honest with you?

I think you better phone your mom and dad

and say you'll be going back to live with them again.

- [laughs]

[Berlin's "Take My Breath Away"]

- Because that wasn't great.

It just didn't work.

- Let me check the "AGT" rule book, no.

- Obviously, you're a very nice guy.

But I mean, I'm still waiting for it to start.

I don't know what happened.

It was very confusing.

- No, you were saying that your parents didn't get it.

I mean, we-- we are right along with your parents.

- [laughs] Yeah.

- Look, you know what?

You at least made the effort to come over here.

And I thank you for that.

- Thank you, Simon. Thank you so much.

- It's a no for me. - It's a no for me.

- Sofía? - A no.

- Simon?

- No.

on top when we do the giraffe?

[laughter]

- I was wondering that.

- Well, that's important.

- What is it? - What is it?

- What is it, like, a dance or a puppet

or a transformation, quick changing?

I don't know.

I'm, like, very confused, because I

thought it was ridiculous.

It's, like, a nonsense.

I don't know what it is.

But I really, really think that you deserve this.

That was the most fun thing we've had all day, all week.

It's dream?

Dream?

You guys having fun?

I thought they were amazing.

[inspirational music]

- How has the last few hours been going for you?

- I found a song that I think it fits me more as an artist.

I've been working for the past hour on a new song.

Now, I can show them, you know, more my style.

- Yeah.

- How do you feel right now?

- I'm so hungry, you know?

- Yes.

- It's just hunger.

And I want to show them that they didn't have a mistake,

giving me another chance.

Come on, my man. You got it.

[cheers and applause]

He's back.

OK.

* *

- Bravo!

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.

- Sofía?

- I think this is you.

This sounds like you.

I mean, the other song, I don't think

it was going to help you with anything,

in Spanish, in English, or in Chinese.

It was beautiful.

- Gracias. Thank you.

- Heidi?

- You got the party started in here.

Everyone was moving, grooving with you.

You sounded great.

You performed great.

I'm so happy that you had that second chance.

And I think you really nailed it.

- Howie?

- You're a joy to watch, you know?

And you're just a really good performer.

And you deserve to be here.

- Thank you.

- I wasn't even sure we were going

to see you again because you were so down

when we said, you know what?

I think you'd better come back.

And you came back as a different person.

The audience love you.

- Thank you.

- But we have to vote.

So, Howie?

- For me, it's a yes.

- Heidi?

- I'm going to give you also a yes.

- Thank you.

- Sí!

- Gracias.

- I'm also going to give you a sí.

So that is four yeses.

- Gracias. Thank you.

- * I can be your hero baby *

* I can kiss away the pain *

You did it!

Coming up--

- [screams]

- Simon has gone!

[cackling]

- Grab a seat, guys. Grab a seat, everybody, wow.

We are so excited.

- I wonder what it feels like for these people to go last?

- Is this the last act now?

- Yes.

- Our last batch tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

- * Ballroom blitz *

- [screams] - Oh, [bleep].

- No!

[dramatic eerie music]

[audience screaming]

- Oh, this is creeping me out right now.

- My new friends,

I want to play a game with you.

- [screams]

[laughter]

- Stand up!

- Oh, my God.

- I don't want to!

- Stand up.

Come play.

- I go with you.

- I hate this creepy stuff, man.

- [sniffs]

[laughter]

- Stop right here.

- OK, OK, OK.

- No!

- [clicking tongue]

[eerie music]

These are my balloons.

- I know. [laughter]

- From the forest of hearts.

[thunder booming]

- OK.

- Your choice, her heart's fate.

- What?

- [exhales]

- [screams]

[laughter]

I want to go home.

- Choose two numbers.

- That one, that one, 1 and 2.

- 4!

- [exhales]

[sniffs]

[laughter] - Thank you.

[laughter]

- Look at Simon.

I don't know why it makes me laugh.

- What am I doing here?

- [laughs] - Oh, no.

* *

- No.

- What is it, blood?

- Uh-oh.

[dramatic music]

* *

- Lucky choice, Simon.

Give me the other one.

- What's in these balloons?

* *

- [cackling]

- Ahh.

* *

[loud pop]

- Oh!

[cheers and applause]

- It seems you're safe again.

For now.

But your luck is surely running out.

[cackles] Simon--

- Yes. - Can I go?

- Give him one.

No.

- Ay! [laughter]

- You want me to choose one?

- Give him one.

- That one.

Actually, yeah.

- Do you maybe want to switch?

- Yeah.

Actually, no, no.

- Oh no.

* *

[loud pop]

- No, no!

[cheers and applause]

It seems that fate is on your side.

Go back to your table.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Ahh!

- Or do you want to go home with us?

- No!

Did you win?

- Did you win?

- He's gonna find out.

- [laughs]

- Simon has pulled off saving Sofía's head.

This is the balloon he didn't choose.

But dear judges, forest of hearts

always has the last laugh.

Now, you shall all reap--

- No, no, no, again, me?

- --what Simon has sowed!

[audience oohs]

- [cackling]

- Ew!

[buzzers blaring]

- No, you can't do that.

- Don't do that.

- Those are little maggots!

[Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz"]

- That could have been in your hair.

- They're maggots!

- Yo, that's nasty.

- That was repulsive, but brilliant, seriously.

- Oh, no! Uh-uh.

- You were not in on it?

- No.

- And at random, you could have switched or whatever.

That would have been dumped all over you.

- I would have killed everyone.

- * Oh, yeah *

- Wow, that was a scene from "Griselda."

- * Frightening *

* And the music was soothing *

- Howie, are you going to say yes?

- Yes! - Heidi?

- I did not love it.

I'm gonna say no.

- * And the man in the back said everyone attack *

- OK, I'm actually going to say yes.

* And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you *

- No, I didn't see anything.

I didn't know what was happening.

I'm going to go by what, you know,

the other judges are saying about what they were saying.

So I'm going to give you a yes.

[cheers and applause]

- We'll be back.

- * Everybody was frightening *

* And the music was soothing *

- That was so scary.

- That was hideous.

- But brilliant.

And they're real.

- Maggot, anyone?

Does anyone want a maggot?

- Why don't they clean this up?

- * Ballroom blitz *
