it had a good beat.

- [laughs]

- [singing]

[buzzer]

- I can't watch this.

[cheers and applause]

[Barns Courtney's "Champion"]

- Here's your host tonight,

Terry Crews!

[cheers and applause]

- Champion, I can

take a beating

I'll rise again,

burning through the jungle

Until the end,

I can live forever

I'll rise again,

keep rising up

- What's up, America?

[cheers and applause]

Okay, I've got

three words for you:

world-class talent.

Ten acts from "Got Talent"

shows around the world

are coming up for the mother

of all talent battles.

They're fighting for just

two spots in our finals.

One will go to tonight's

Golden Buzzer.

Yes.

And the other act will be

put through by our voters

from all 50 states of America.

[cheers and applause]

They are the voice

of the people

from all across the country.

Now, we've got four

other voices here too.

Make some noise for your

"AGT: Champions" judges.

- Champion, I can

take a beating

I'll rise again

- Now, Simon, you have got

the Golden Buzzer tonight.

- Oh!

- Hello.

- [laughs]

Look at Simon's face.

- The fact that he has

the Golden Buzzer

is a little nerve-racking.

- Yeah.

Exciting.

- Okay, now look.

We've got ten acts coming up.

Only two can go

into the finals.

It is on!

It's "America's Got Talent:

The Champions"!

[cheers and applause]

Champion

I can take a beating

Did I say I'm excited?

[cheers and applause]

- This is exciting.

This is "Champions."

Top 50 in the world.

- Being around all these very,

very talented people

is incredibly nerve-racking.

- It's hard when you're

against adults as well,

when you're only

a kid like me.

- Yeah.

- I'm Issy Simpson,

I'm from Blackpool, England,

and I was on "Britain's

Got Talent" season 11.

- What do you do?

- I'm going to be doing magic.

My grandpa teaches me.

- So that means your

grandfather is a wizard.

- Yes.

- Right.

- "Britain's Got Talent"

changed my life forever.

- This is like real-life

"Harry Potter."

You are honestly a little star.

- I was just this little girl

in Blackpool who did magic.

All of a sudden, I had fans.

I even got a phone call

from Daniel Radcliffe.

[screams]

He's Harry Potter.

He said,

"I hope someday we'll meet."

[groans]

- That was absolutely magical.

Right now, I think

you're gonna win.

- The winner is Tokio Myers!

[dramatic music]

- My mouth dropped.

I was sad that I didn't win.

But being on "America's

Got Talent: The Champions,"

I get to try once again.

- Okay, studio.

Here we go.

- I'm up against

the best of the best

from all over the world,

and it's very scary

for a little girl doing magic.

- Here we go.

Ten seconds.

- I was runner-up before, but

now I want to win this time.

[cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause]

- Issy.

- Hello.

- You look even smaller.

Maybe the stage is higher but--

- Probably.

- It looks like you shrunk,

but you haven't.

- [laughs]

- Now, introduce yourself,

please.

- I'm Issy Simpson,

I was on "Britain's Got Talent"

in 2017,

and I was the runner-up.

[cheers and applause]

- And how old

were you then, Issy?

- I was eight then...

- Eight.

- But now I'm ten.

- Wow.

- Issy is a champion

in my eyes.

I can't wait to see what

you're gonna do tonight.

- Yes.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[mysterious music]

[cheers and applause]

Hello, everyone.

Tonight I'm going to show

you something with

my two favorite things,

magic and reading,

using my three favorite books.

My first favorite book is

Colin Davies' "Mathamagical."

Mel B, please, can you

look through the book

and check

if each page is different?

- Yes, it is.

- My second favorite book

is Enid Blyton,

"The Magical Faraway Tree."

- Heidi.

- Yes.

- Please, can you look

through the book

and check

if each page is different?

- Will do.

- My third favorite book

is "How to Make a Million."

[laughter]

- Please, can you look through

the book and check

if each page is different?

- It's also my favorite book.

[laughter]

- Probably the first book

you ever read, Simon.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

Howie, please, can you pick

up my box and put it

on the floor for me, please?

- On the floor?

- Yes, just behind you.

- Behind me?

- Yeah.

- Um, I--it's--

- Mel B, do you want

to go and help him?

- Yeah.

- It's really heavy.

- Girl power.

- I can't lift it.

- Exactly.

No, it--he can't move it.

- What is going on?

How is that possible?

- Stop!

- Oh, okay.

- Please, can you both

sit back down for me?

- All right.

- She's a little bossy.

- Oh, show off.

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

- How is that even possible?

- Howie, I'm going

to show you a card trick.

But it's a card trick

like no other.

As you can see,

all the cards are different.

- Yes.

- I'm going to turn them

facedown,

and I'd like you to touch

the back of any card.

- There.

- Are you sure?

- I am.

- I'd like you to look

at your card,

remember it,

and don't show anyone else.

- Don't show anybody else?

- Anyone.

- Okay.

Got it.

- Now, Howie,

there are three books.

Please choose one book.

- "I Want to Make a Million."

- [laughs]

"How to Make a Million"

has around 674 pages.

Please, can you choose a number

between 1 and 674?

- 126.

- Simon, please,

can you turn the book

to page 126 for me,

please?

Now choose one word

and in a loud voice,

tell everybody what it is.

- Excellent.

- Excellent.

See this blackboard?

Before the show,

I wrote a word on it.

Watch.

[cheers and applause]

Stop!

- What?

- Howie, you chose a card.

- Yeah.

- For the first time, Howie,

what was the card you chose?

- It is the three of diamonds.

- Watch.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh!

Amazing.

- I've been Issy Simpson.

Thank you.

Good night!

- It'll keep you

up all night

- Oh, how did she do that?

- I got the recipe

- Wow.

- And It's called

black magic

And it's called

black magic

[Little Mix's "Black Magic"]

- Wow.

Howie, what did you think?

- Issy, number one,

you're proving that Britain

does have talent.

- Thank you.

Number two, that Britain

has adorable talent.

With ten acts,

only two acts can go through,

but you are setting the bar

for these ten acts.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you so much.

- Take a sip from

the secret potion

Mel, what did you think?

- Oh, you are absolutely

adorable.

- Thank you.

- Oh, my gosh.

Just the way that you

presented everything

was just so seamless,

full of confidence,

very, very sassy,

and your magic was magic.

I don't even know

how you did it.

It was mind-blowing.

Well done.

- Thank you.

- You are adorable

and brilliant.

- Heidi.

- I thought this was excellent.

I think you are

a little firecracker.

- Thank you.

- You definitely have

that special something

that you have to have

when you're an entertainer.

You definitely have that.

- Thank you.

- Great job.

[cheers and applause]

- Every time I see you,

Issy, I don't know.

I mean, you have got

magical powers.

I mean, that was incredible.

- Thank you.

- One thing I've always really,

really admired about you

is that you really have this

incredible competitive spirit.

- Thank you.

- No, I love that about you.

You were the runner-up,

and now you come on to take

the best of the world,

and I have a feeling

the 50 states,

they might put you through

to the final after that.

- Thank you.

- Aww.

- Thank you.

- You realize that kid just

made everything much harder?

- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

- Uh-oh.

- Now, last time,

you were runner-up.

Do you think you're gonna make

it to the finals this time?

- Um, I hope so.

- It is like a little

Harriet Potter live show.

- It is.

- Next act to the stage,

please.

Next act to the stage.

- Who has the

Golden Buzzer today?

- Simon.

- God, I love that so much.

- [laughs]

- Here we go.

- For us,

performing in front of Simon,

we've never performed

for him before.

It's pretty exciting,

and the fact that he has

the Golden Buzzer

is nerve-racking.

- Yeah.

- We're the Texas Tenors

from Houston, Texas.

- And we were on season four

of "America's Got Talent."

Before the show, I mean,

I was unemployed,

and these guys were working

a construction job.

We were struggling

to pay the bills

and supporting our families.

- I--I--I had no money left

in my account.

- I remember going through

all my baseball cards,

and I sold them for,

like, 300 bucks

just to get

a little extra money.

And then I just thought

in my mind,

"There's gotta be something

better than this."

- So when we had

the chance to audition

for "America's Got Talent,"

we thought, you know,

"This is our chance to make

our dreams come true."

[all singing]

But it was not that easy.

- We can still see

it's very raw.

- The judges were

really tough on us

all the way through.

[all singing]

- You gotta do something

worthy

of the Las Vegas stage.

That's not gonna get you

through to the final.

- We thought, "Well, this is

a once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity,"

and we did not take it

for granted.

[all singing]

- We had to work really hard

to continue on.

- That was fantastic.

- Whoo!

- I did it my...

- You guys are without

a doubt the front runner

to win this competition.

- And we got all the way

to the finals,

and we thought, you know,

"We could make it."

- But after all

the hard work...

- Finishing in fourth place,

the Texas Tenors.

- I...

- It was tough.

It was.

- Can change in a moment

- But our lives changed

overnight from the experience

of "America's Got Talent."

- So we started touring

and doing shows

all over the country.

- The one--the one thing

we didn't do was win.

- Being on "America's Got

Talent: The Champions,"

we are getting

a second opportunity

to actually win the show.

I mean, that's validation

of the Texas Tenors.

That's pretty--pretty

incredible.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, I know who they are.

Oh!

- Can change in a moment

- Wow.

- It's the Texas Tenors.

Oh, my God.

How are you?

- Great.

- Fantastic.

- You were on

"America's Got Talent"

the year before I joined.

- Correct.

- Talk about how your

life changed

after "America's Got Talent."

- Completely.

I mean, we've been touring

full-time for almost ten years.

- Wow.

- And we actually debuted

two albums at number one on the

"Billboard" classical charts.

- Good for you!

- We've been able to provide

for our families,

which we were struggling

with before.

And coming back here

is just fantastic.

- Good.

- Well, good luck.

We can't wait to hear you.

- Thank you.

- Show us why you're

a champion.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[Righteous Brothers'

"Unchained Melody"]

- Oh, my love

My darling

I've hungered

for your touch

Are you

Still mine?

- I need your love

I need

I need your love

God speed your love

To me

[cheering]

- [singing foreign language]

- Lonely rivers sigh,

wait for me

Wait for me

I'll be coming home,

wait for me

Oh, my love

My darling

I've hungered

for your touch

Are you

Still mine?

- Whoo!

- I need your love

I need your love

God speed your love

To me

[applause]

- Oh!

- My love

[cheers and applause]

That was great.

- Whoo!

- That was amazing.

Heidi.

- I thought it was

really beautiful,

really, really pretty.

It's maybe a bit

on the schmaltzier side,

but I love schmaltzy,

and I think the audience

enjoyed it too.

Loved the harmonizing too.

- Thank you.

- Mel?

- I liked it when you were

all singing at once,

'cause you--your voices

blended in and you filled

the whole entire room.

- Thank you.

- I actually really,

really liked it.

I think your voices are great.

- Thanks, Mel.

- So thank you.

- I gotta tell you that you

guys are champions

and deserve to be here.

You have set a bar very high.

I wish you the best of luck.

I loved it.

- Thank you.

- Simon.

- You know what?

I really, really, really

wanted you to come back

and do this show.

But you want my honest opinion?

I think you got

better with age.

I genuinely do.

- Wow.

- Thank you so much.

- You have an amazing

chemistry about you.

You're very nice guys as well.

I really like you.

So thank you.

- Thank you so much.

Thanks, everyone.

- [singing foreign language]

- I was so nervous to sing

for Simon and--and the fact

that he really liked our act,

that just--wow.

- Hits you right here.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- I, too, wish I'd been

on that show with them.

- They're great.

Because you would have

signed them if...

- Well, not just that.

I actually think, uh,

they're actually very good.

- They are.

- They're incredibly likable.

- Right.

- Now see what the 50 states

have to say.

- All right.

- Thank you.

- All right, you guys.

Thank you, thank you.

[exciting music]

- This next guy was

my Golden Buzzer.

- Where did he get to?

- Second.

He came in runner-up to--

you know Paul Zerdin?

- Yeah.

- The ventriloquist.

- The person who beat you

is here tonight.

- He is.

- How do you feel about that?

It's a rematch.

- It is.

It is a little bit

of a rematch.

- Gutsy coming back.

- What?

- Gutsy.

[cheers and applause]

- Here we go!

What's up?

Drew Lynch, welcome back.

- Oh, hi--hi, everybody.

Hello.

- So you were the runner-up

in 2015.

- Yeah.

- What have you been up to

since we last saw you?

- "America's Got Talent," it--

it--like, it built such

a platform for me in a way

that was, you know,

more than just be getting to--

to--to do comedy.

I'm giving people a voice who,

you know, have to overcome

a daily obstacle.

This show taught me that

that was--was my talent.

It's--it's to continue

to overcome adversity.

- Well said.

Very well said.

[cheers and applause]

- My name is Drew Lynch,

I'm--I'm 27,

I'm from In--Indianapolis,

and I'm a comedian.

I am the runner-up from, uh,

season ten, 2015.

I, uh--I have--I

have a stutter.

That's what--that's--

that's what that is.

About--about seven years ago,

I was playing

on a softball team.

A--a grounder had blunted me

in the--in the throat,

so I went home

and I went to sleep.

And then I woke up

the n-next day with a--

with a--with

a speech impediment.

My whole life

changed from there.

And I'll--I'll always

h-have a stutter.

To not be able to communicate

with people the same way

felt very like this

is--this is the end.

You can only hang your head

for--for--for so long

before you have to pull

yourse--self up.

And that's how--that's how

my comedy career b-began.

I wanna get to--to where

people st--start to use

my--my voice as--as the voice

of their G-G-GPS.

For someone to say,

"Hey, I believe in you"...

[cheers and applause]

When up to that moment

I really hadn't,

I...

[chuckles]

Oh, man.

[uplifting music]

In--in--in the final when it

was down to Paul Zerdin and I

on the stage,

I've never felt that

level of--that level

of pressure.

I wanted to win s--so badly.

A comedian had--had

never won before.

- Paul Zerdin!

- When I didn't,

that was pretty devastating.

I will never forget

coming in second.

On our--on our show,

we're the only--

we're the only winner and

runner-up from the same season.

- Yeah.

- So it's like--

it's like a--it's like

a rematch almost.

When "America's Got Talent:

The Champions" asked me

to come back and do the show,

I was so--I was so excited.

I get to go up against

Paul again.

Here's--here's an opportunity

to prove myself.

Let me try to prop--propel

myself that much further.

Let me--put me to the test.

I'm not ready to stop.

This--this is--this

is just the beginning.

It's--it's a lot of pressure,

but I've been prep--

preparing as hard as I can,

and this time,

I want the title winner,

"America's Got Talent:

The Champions,"

Drew Lynch.

- Uh, when you were

on the show last time,

you came second.

Have you come up with something

new that now makes you think

you could win this show?

- Yeah, I'm thinking--

I'm thinking puppets.

Uh--

- Yeah.

- That works.

[laughter]

Okay, good luck.

[cheers and applause]

- We feel that

he's really gunning

for the winning slot this time.

So we're gonna raise our game,

aren't we, Zerdin?

- That's right.

- Yeah.

Oh, yes.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello, hi, thank you.

How is--how is everybody?

[cheers and applause]

Very good.

I love per--per--performing.

Um, you know, some people,

sometimes they find my stand-up

to be a little--a

little jarring because, uh--

because I--'cause I stutter,

but I prefer to think

that you're--you're getting

the joke and--

and also the remix.

[laughter]

So even if you hear a joke

that's--that's not for you,

you can be like,

"Well, I didn't--

"I didn't like the lyrics

to that one,

but it--but it--but it

had a good beat."

[laughter]

As if there's not enough wrong

with--with my mouth,

I also wear, um, Invisalign,

the--the invisible braces.

Or--or as I like to call it,

a grill for--for white people.

[laughter]

Uh--

[chuckles]

Just rapping on--on the hood

of my Prius.

[laughter]

Um, a--a--avocado toast.

I don't know.

Uh, what I realize is--is when

you lose your Invisalign

at--at, say, like a restaurant

and you go back,

you sound like a--a

crazy person.

[laughter]

Like, I went back

to the restaurant, uh,

and--and in a frenzy,

I said to the waitress,

I was like, "Hi, hi.

I--I--I just ate here

and I--I think I lost

my Invisalign."

She's like, "I didn't see you

wearing a--a retainer."

And I was like, "Well, you--

you can't see it!

It's--it's--it's invisible!"

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

"Have you--

have you seen it?"

[laughter]

So glad you guys, uh,

g-g-got that joke,

but, uh, you know,

even if you didn't,

it--it still had a good beat.

Uh, thank you, guys

so--so much.

- No, no!

Why?

[cheers and applause]

- Hey, thanks!

Aww.

You're too--too--too sweet.

- Standing ovation?

Yeah.

That's--that's a good sign.

- Mmm.

- Good for him,

not for us.

- Mmm.

- [chuckles]

- Drew, I'm really angry at

you! I'm really angry at you!

That was too short!

I wanted more,

more and more and more.

You are so funny and so quick.

- Aww, aww.

- I just love you.

I love everything about you.

[cheers and applause]

- Heidi, what did you think?

- Well, there's only a few

comedians that I really,

really love,

and you are definitely

a one of them.

I really, really love you.

I mean, that was hilarious.

- Th--th--thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Simon, what did you think?

- For me, it wasn't the best

performance we've seen you do.

But you have inspired

so many people

and you're a great guy.

You're really funny.

I really respect you.

So well done.

[cheers and applause]

- Tha--thank you.

[James Arthur's "Impossible"]

- Drew, I can't tell you

how proud I am of you.

You are not only

a great entertainer

but a great spokesperson

and a great example

and I gotta tell you something:

you have grown

by leaps and bounds

and you are truly

a professional,

truly a champion.

I hope that all the 50 states

are looking at you,

because you surely deserve

to be in the finals.

I love you, buddy.

- Th--th--thank you, Howie.

- Tell them all I know now

- Tha--tha--thank you, guys.

Tha--thank you.

- Write it in the skyline

- See, that makes me laugh.

- Yeah, a lot.

- That makes me proper

belly laugh.

- I'd like to see him

in the final.

- Yeah.

- Great job, Drew.

We will see you later

on tonight.

[dramatic music]

- Hey, Paul.

- As a kid growing up,

I was never quite

one of the gang.

- Oh, hey, Paul.

- My friends were out playing

football and I put together

my puppet shows when I--

probably when I was about

eight years old.

- Hey, Paul.

Your guests are waiting

at your table.

- Thank you.

No one took me seriously.

- Ah, Zerdin.

Finally, we're starving!

- Yeah, I haven't got

much time left.

- Sorry, chaps.

Crazy morning.

And then I won

"America's Got Talent."

- Paul Zerdin!

[upbeat music]

- I had been working

for so long for something,

and then winning season ten

absolutely just kicked

my career into orbit.

I've got

a headline show in Las Vegas.

People are paying money

to come and see me

and my silly little puppets.

That was the moment.

- You used to be a nerd

who played with dolls.

- [laughs]

- And "AGT"

changed all of that.

- Oh, now you're just a famous

nerd who plays with dolls.

- [laughs]

- Boys, don't you

remember what it felt like

when they said my name,

we won this thing?

Now we have that same

opportunity again.

Yeah, but this time not just

to be the best in America

but the best in the world.

Coming in as a recent winner

has some real pressure

attached to it.

And once again, I'm

competing against Drew Lynch.

- I fully intend to t--to take

you down, Paul Zerdin.

- He has his eye on the prize.

But then again,

so do I.

[cheers and applause]

I have a reputation

to uphold here.

I'm gonna do everything I can

to make sure that I keep it.

I want that champion title.

[cheers and applause]

- Paul!

- Ah, we have a winner!

[inaudible dialogue]

- I love it, guys.

- Good evening, everyone.

It's great to see you, judges.

- Nice to see you.

- It seems only yesterday that

I was doing season ten

and I have to say,

it's lovely to be back.

It really is.

[cheers and applause]

- The fact that you won

and you've come back

to compete again,

I mean, respect.

- Thank you.

I believe that I've

got more to show you.

- Good.

- I wanna do something

tonight that I don't think

has ever been done before, uh,

with a ventriloquist act.

- Ooh.

- Wow.

- Oh, we'd love that.

Good luck.

- I lost--I lost to him.

- Paul Zerdin?

- I'm--I'm--I'm so honored

and humbled and upset.

- [laughs]

[cheers and applause]

- Ventriloquism,

it's an amazing thing,

and I love being able

to do it because everything

in everyday life now talks.

All over the world, you have

the talking elevator.

I like to go into an elevator

that doesn't talk

and pretend it does.

And the busier the elevator,

the better.

In I go.

"Doors closing."

[laughter]

That was me.

"Going up.

Get out, fatty.

You're too heavy."

[laughter]

And this is my favorite bit.

"Cable detaching."

[laughter]

[cheers and applause]

You know, being

a ventriloquist,

you can also have a lot of fun

if you get yourself a puppet.

- Zerdin!

- Speak of the devil.

Would you like

to meet my friend?

all: Yeah!

- Then please welcome back

my friend Sam.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, we love Sam.

Remember Sam.

[cheers and applause]

- Whoo-hoo!

Hello!

- Hi.

- I said hello!

- Hello!

- Hi.

- Well, this is fantastic.

We're--hold on a minute.

Hang on, hang on.

Where are we?

- Well, we're on

"America's Got Talent."

- Yes, I know.

Wait a minute.

We won "America's Got Talent."

- That's right.

And we're back.

- We're doing it again?

- Yes.

- What the hell went wrong?

[laughter]

- No, no, no,

this is "The Champions."

- "The Champions"?

- Yes.

- Oh, you'd better have

something special, Zerdin.

- I think I have.

- You know, Howie always says,

"You gotta up your game."

- Yes, that's right.

- So what are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

- Well, I think I've got

something very special.

- Yes?

- Yes.

I've got a little ditty.

[laughter]

- Sitting there nervous.

- It's--it's not

what you think.

Just watch.

- What, your ditty?

- No.

Watch my face.

Here we go.

[clears throat]

Too close.

[grunts]

Here we go.

[humming Suzanne Vega's

"Tom's Diner"]

- That's great.

They loved that.

- Wait,

I'm not finished yet.

- No.

- Now what I want you to do...

- Hmm?

- Is to hum the ditty.

- I don't want to.

[laughter]

- Just do it.

- Oh, all right.

[humming Suzanne Vega's

"Tom's Diner"]

It's not working.

- Wait.

What we do now, okay?

While you do that...

- Hmm?

- Yeah, I'm gonna do

a beatbox drum beat.

- A what?

- A beatbox drum beat.

So I'm gonna go...

[beatboxing]

Okay?

And we're gonna do it

at the same time.

- Oh, wow.

- Um, Zerdin?

- Yeah?

- Can I have a word?

- What?

- We're not gonna

do it together.

[laughter]

- Why'd you say that?

- Because it's not possible.

[laughter]

- I--I believe it is.

- You're an idiot.

[laughter]

- Okay, we're gonna do this.

I'll start, you follow, okay?

Here we go.

[clears throat]

[beatboxing]

- [humming Suzanne Vega's

"Tom's Diner"]

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.

- Whoo, we did it!

[cheers and applause]

[upbeat music]

- Thank you so much.

Good night.

- Whoo-hoo!

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, incredible.

That's why he won

the first time.

- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Howie.

- Paul, you know, uh,

ventriloquists have done

very good on

"America's Got Talent."

- I've noticed.

- [laughs]

- But you have a uniqueness

in the sense where you take

the art of ventriloquism

and play with that art form.

And I love it.

You make it funny.

You are smooth.

You are a winner.

I wish you the best

of luck on this.

- Thank you.

- Thank you

for showing up.

We appreciate it.

You're a champion.

- Thank you.

- Heidi.

- Your act is absolutely

seamless.

It shows so much personality,

and sometimes I wonder

if you're a ventriloquist

or if you're a magician.

- [chuckles]

- You had me laughing

and everyone here laughing.

And we need to laugh more,

so thank you for that.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Paul, um, obviously,

I wasn't on the show,

but I watched

the show that year.

That was original,

it was funny,

but I'm gonna be

honest with you.

I don't think this was

a progression up

from where you were before.

- Come on!

You try and do that!

- I do!

[booing]

- I do!

I do.

- Oh, man.

- Boo.

- I was completely entertained.

I was trying to figure

out where the noises

were coming from.

It's all coming from you.

You're already

a complete pro to me.

- Thank you.

- So I loved it.

You're very entertaining.

Thank you and we'll see you

a little bit later on.

Well done.

Really good.

- In the darkness,

darkness

- This is your first time

in front of Simon.

- Yeah.

- What are your feelings on--

- Well, you know,

he was honest.

He's known for his honesty,

so I take that on board

and um, you know...

- But let me--

let me give you

a little bit of good news.

In fact, his vote tonight

doesn't count.

- Right.

- Because it's about

the 50 states.

- Yeah, sure, yeah.

- And hopefully they

disagree with Simon too.

- Yeah, fingers crossed.

- I wanna know who's next.

- It's the Moonlight Brothers.

They are the current champions

of "Denmark's Got Talent."

- When did they win?

- 2018.

- Ah.

- All right, you ready?

- Yeah.

- Count us off, though.

- Six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.

- [laughs]

- Yeah, hey!

- You got it, man.

- Hey, come on, man.

- Yeah.

- I'm Jonathan.

- And I'm Christopher.

And we are

the Moonlight Brothers.

We grew up in a small city

in Denmark called Hobro.

I began to dance

when my uncle and aunt

started a dance school.

- He said, "Try dancing."

I was like, "Okay."

My big brother was really cool

and he could dance,

and I was like, "Okay, yeah.

I want to be him."

- Aww.

[chuckles]

- Legend, it's excellence

- When we was at the audition

for "Denmark's Got Talent,"

everything started

to go crazy.

We had no idea how it

will be in the end.

- Then we got to the finals.

We thought that, hey--

- We're gonna be number two.

- It's so great.

- It's great.

- That's great.

- That's nice.

- Yeah.

- But--

[chuckles]

Then they shouted...

- Moonlight Brothers!

- I feel glorious,

glorious

- It was an--an

incredible feeling.

- I began to cry.

- Yeah, me too.

No words.

- After we won

"Denmark Got Talent,"

we was offered to do

"Got Talent: Champions."

And to do what I love with

my little brother...

- It was an--an

incredible feeling.

- How does it feel

to be in America?

- Crazy, crazy.

- Really crazy.

It's ten times bigger

than Denmark,

100 times bigger.

We are up against

the best of the best.

We need to step

the game up much more.

- Yeah.

- Much more.

- Made it through the

darkest part of the night

- Being on "America's Got

Talent: The Champions,"

we're here to defend

our winning title.

[Macklemore featuring

Skylar Grey's "Glorious"]

- The Moonlight Brothers.

Welcome, you guys.

- Thanks.

- I hear that you just won

"Denmark's Got Talent."

Yes?

Amazing!

- Are you guys really brothers?

- Yeah.

I'm the pretty one.

- [laughs]

- Why did you want to

participate in "The Champions"?

- We actually grew up

seeing this show,

so being a part of this show

is just freaking us out.

- Yeah.

- It is--yeah.

[cheers and applause]

- You're here.

You've now taken on

the best of the best.

You confident?

- Yeah, we are.

- You are?

- Yeah.

- Good for you.

- Good luck.

- Thank you very much.

- Thanks.

[cheers and applause]

- Aww.

- Aww!

Group hug!

[intense music]

- Whoa!

Oh!

- Why so serious?

Go

[Junior Senior's

"Move Your Feet"]

Don't, don't, don't,

don't stop the beat

I can't, can't, can't,

can't control my feet

Happy pe--pe--people

in the street

Come on, everybody,

and move your feet

Don't stop, don't stop,

don't stop the beat

I can't stop, can't stop,

can't stop

[baby crying]

[kissing]

I won't stop, won't stop,

won't stop the beat

Go

We're going downtown,

oh, yeah

We're going downtown,

oh, yeah

We're going downtown,

oh

Stop

[discs spinning]

[record scratching]

[booming]

Everybody, move your feet

and feel united, oh

Everybod--

[John Philip Sousa's "The

Stars and Stripes Forever"]

[Junior Senior's

[cheers and applause]

[poignant piano music]

- Melanie Brown.

- Well, well done for winning

"Denmark's Got Talent."

Well done, well done.

I like the fact that

it is homegrown,

that you are brothers.

I like you did the acrobats.

I just expected

a little bit more.

But that's just me.

They all enjoyed it.

[cheers and applause]

- Howie.

- You know, this show

is about family,

is about talent, to see

two brothers get together.

But Simon keeps talking

about upping the game

and upping the game,

and if I'm gonna be

totally honest,

I personally didn't love that.

I'm sorry.

- But I enjoyed it.

Because I feel like you

brought the energy up to, like,

a level.

- Yeah.

- You could really feel

that in here.

And I also love the humor

part of it,

you being a baby.

I thought it was fun.

And I love the group hug

at the end.

That was also sweet.

- Aww.

- Very sweet.

I liked it.

- Thank you.

Thanks.

[cheers and applause]

- Simon.

- Well, I think we're all

feeling the same thing.

It was really fun,

it was different,

but I think based on what

I've seen so far tonight,

I'm talking to a previous

winner who I don't think's

gonna win tonight.

Let's see what happens.

Good luck.

- Thank you!

- If it's mean to be,

it'll be, it'll be

Baby, just let it be

If it's meant to be,

it'll be

- The truth is,

com--competing on

"America's Got Talent,"

they would have a tough time.

- You guys have so much

originality and fun.

Let's hope that the 50 states

vote you guys in.

Thank you very much.

- Baby, if it's meant

to be

[cheers and applause]

- Welcome back to "America's

Got Talent" season 11.

Are you guys ready

to get to it?

[buzzing]

- I thought that was clever,

unique, funny.

Brilliant.

- That was just genius.

- By this time tomorrow,

everyone in America

is gonna know your name.

- Oh, you are Tape Face.

- Hi, Tape Face.

- Hi, Tape Face.

- Tape Face!

- Why do they call you

Tape Face?

- He is Tape Face.

[cheers and applause]

- I believe a star

is being born

out of just pure,

utter silliness.

And I'm looking forward

to seeing what you do next.

[buzzing]

- Now, Tape Face,

to be honest...

- I think it's time

to come back...

- To "America's Got Talent."

[quirky music]

Hi, Tape Face.

- I want you to come back...

- To "America's Got Talent."

- All right, Tape Face.

- It's time to come back.

- Tape Face...

- It's time...

- To come back.

- I think you should

come back.

- It's time...

- To come back.

- Come back.

- Come back.

- Come back.

- To "America's Got Talent."

- To "America's Got Talent."

- To "America's Got Talent"

tonight!

[TV hissing]

[creepy music]

[cheers and applause]

- Me?

- Yes, you.

[cheers and applause]

- I love when Howie

goes up there.

- [laughs]

[tapping]

[scratching]

- What does it say?

- Stay weird.

- [laughs]

[laughter]

[record scratching]

- [laughs]

[hip-hop music]

- Come on, Howie!

Put a little in!

- One, two

What you do

makes a difference

- What am I doing?

- Move it!

- Two, three, four,

breakdown

- [laughs]

- Our journey comes

to an end

With music from--

[record scratches]

[cheers and applause]

[quirky music]

- Oh, me?

I'm--I'm out.

[cheers and applause]

- [laughs]

- Get in them.

- His feet won't go through

the bottom.

- Okay.

- Is he a dustman?

- Construction?

- Is it "YMCA"?

- Got your own buzzer.

Good.

[laughter]

[David Rose & His Orchestra's

[Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"]

[cheers and applause]

- Whoa!

- Thank you, thank you!

- Wow.

- All right!

[cheers and applause]

[Labrinth's

"Express Yourself"]

- I just stripped on live TV!

- Express yourself

Express yourself

- You know what?

First of all,

I wanna talk to you,

but you don't talk.

But I wanna say you are

one of the most memorable acts

there has been in all the time

that I have been here.

- Express yourself

- And you actually got your own

Vegas show, didn't you?

Yes, you have your own room

called the House of Tape.

[cheers and applause]

You are amazing.

I am so thrilled that

you are back.

Mel, what did you think?

- You know what?

I love that you got everybody

else to join in your act.

And you're just funny.

I could watch you all day long.

It's always an absolute

pleasure to see you,

so thank you.

- So whatever I do

- Heidi?

- You're clever,

you're funny,

you're totally original,

and I do have to tell you,

my kids are still

talking about you.

Great job.

- So whatever you do,

do, do

- Simon.

- That was so silly,

but it was so funny, and--

- You know what was

the funniest?

- Your tape face.

- The tape on your face.

- I liked that, yeah.

- Express yourself

- That was my favorite part.

- [laughs]

- I'd buy it.

Look, it's all down

to the 50 states now.

I would love to see you

in the final

because you brought so many

happy memories back

to me and I absolutely

love you.

So congratulations.

Brilliant.

- See, it's not what

you look like

When you're doing

what you're doing

Express yourself

- Mel, if only we could

do that for you.

- No.

- Mel becomes Tape Face,

the judge.

- You are so mean.

- Just try one and see.

- Get some tape for Simon.

- Yes.

- Listen, man, Tape,

you did the--a mo--

I was so proud to be a part

of this act, man.

Listen, we're going on

the road together,

Tape Face and the Brother.

That's how we gonna do--

[laughs]

- Here we go,

ten seconds.

- You know, it's so crazy.

Like, there's only gonna be

two people out of all ten of us

going through

to the next round.

- I know, that's so insane.

It's like, how do you compare

a singer to a juggler

to a magician to a--

- I have no idea.

- It's like--

- My name is Kechi,

I'm 28 years old,

I live in Houston,

and I am a singer.

When I was 16 years old,

I was in a plane crash

that took the lives of 107

of 109 people aboard.

[dramatic music]

I was the only kid

who survived

out of 60 kids from my school.

It was one of the most painful

moments of my life...

[seagulls chirping]

Knowing that all those kids

had lost their lives.

I suffered third-degree burns

over 65% of my body.

The doctors gave me

a 30% chance of survival.

In those moments,

all I had was the next day

and then the next day

and the next day.

And I remember hearing my mom

singing to me

while I was in recovery,

and music became

my ultimate distraction from

what was going on with me.

I just had no idea that

one day I would be

standing on the stage

of "America's Got Talent"

and singing.

[singing]

- You deserve your place here

tonight not just based

on your story but actually

on your talent.

- Hearing those words

from Simon changed my life.

For the longest time,

I've been recognized

as a survivor.

But being on "America's Got

Talent" was the first time

that I was recognized

as a singer.

"America's Got Talent" showed

me there is life after burns.

I feel like I owe it to the

kids that lost their lives

in the accident to live

in exemplary ways

that would make those who we

lost proud if they were here.

That's why I'm here on

"America's Got Talent:

Champions."

This is my chance to follow my

dream, and I know what it means

to actually be here right now.

I didn't win last time,

and I feel like I have

found my voice.

This is my chance to prove

that I am a champion.

[cheers and applause]

- Kechi!

- Oh, yeah!

- Yeah!

- [cheers and applause]

- Kechi!

- How are you?

- I'm good, thank you.

- How's life been since

you've been on the show?

Tell me.

- I'm sure you remember

the first time I came up

on this stage

in front of y'all,

I was so shy about my voice.

I had zero confidence.

But since the show, I have

become an advocate

for all the burn survivors

with Shriners Hospital so...

- Good for you.

- [laughs]

- Well, now I'm excited to hear

what you're gonna sing.

- Thank you.

I hope you guys like it.

- Okay, good luck.

- [laughs]

Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- I'm looking forward to this.

She's so fantastic.

[applause]

- Okay, here we go again.

Here we go.

[Calum Scott's

"You Are The Reason"]

- There goes my

heart beating

And you are the reason

I'm losing my sleep

Please come back now

There goes my mind racing

And you are the reason

That I'm still breathing

I'm hopeless now

I'll climb every mountain

And swim every ocean

Just to be with you

And fix what I've broken

'Cause I need you to see

You are the reason

You are the reason

You are the reason

I need you to hold

me tonight

Climb every mountain

And swim every ocean

Just to be with you

And fix what I've broken

Climb every mountain

And swim every ocean

Just to be with you

And fix what I've broken

'Cause I need you

To see

You are the reason

[cheers and applause]

[Sons of Serendip's

"Hallelujah"]

- Whoo!

- Amazing.

- Whoo.

[cheers and applause]

- They say that 99% of success

is just showing up.

You do so much more

than just show up.

You're so much more than

your songs and your sound,

more than a champion

of singing and of talent.

You're a champion of life.

[cheers and applause]

- Yes.

- I could see how hard that

you'd been working.

There's a huge difference.

- Wow.

- And I--I just love you,

and I adore you.

You are a survivor.

I love you.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[chuckles]

- Kechi, I have to tell you,

I'm so excited that I get

the chance to see you again,

to hear you again.

You look beautiful,

you sounded beautiful,

and it's always a joy seeing

you on the stage.

[cheers and applause]

- It was in this very theater

that we met you

for the first time and you--

I remember you being very shy.

But based on what

I've seen tonight,

I'm gonna be honest with you.

Um, I didn't really

like it that much.

[shouting]

- Oh.

[booing]

- I actually loved it.

- Hallelujah

- What?

- Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

- I have always wanted

to do that for you.

- [crying]

- You so deserve it.

This is what defines

the word champion.

- Kechi, you are

so emotional right now.

Please, talk to us.

- Mom, I--

[crying]

[cheers and applause]

- My one regret was I never

got the chance to give her

the Golden Buzzer.

You want to know

what a champion is?

This is a champion.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh!

Let's hear it one more

time for Kechi!

- Well done, Kechi.

- Hallelujah

Hallelujah

- I love her so much.

- Beautiful.

That was beautiful.

- She deserved it.

- Wow.

- 50 states gonna vote.

That's right.

- Kechi!

- Hallelujah

- [crying]

- My God.

- Oh, my God.

- I know.

- I'm so happy.

I can't believe it.

I didn't rea--

I thought I was going home.

I was so sure.

- [laughs]

- All right, you guys ready

to see some more talent?

[cheers and applause]

[Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out"]

- Yes!

I want the world to know

- Hello.

- Yes!

[cheers and applause]

- Nice to see you.

- Oh, my God.

You guys have no idea.

This is my personal absolute

most favorite of all times.

- Thank you, Heidi.

- Please do tell us again

who you are.

- My name is Stevie Starr,

I'm known as the Professional

Regurgitator,

and I am from Scotland.

[cheers and applause]

There are lots of singers,

lots of comedians,

but why only one regurgitator?

[Emmanuel Chabrier's

"Habanera"]

Maybe it's 'cause I'm the only

person who wants to do it.

[laughs]

I will swallow coin number one.

I discovered my talent

when I lived

in a children's home

in Glasgow, Scotland.

[gulps]

I used to swallow my pocket

money because

the other children used

to steal it from me as a kid.

So I grabbed a few

coins one day,

swallowed it, coughed,

and it came back up again.

[spits]

The kids, they were

completely freaking out.

[gagging]

- Oh!

- So when I decided to enter

"America's Got Talent"...

[inhales]

I was worried people out there

wouldn't like what I do.

- You are my favorite

act thus far.

You are so good!

- To be accepted

after all these years

is the best feeling

in the world.

- There is nobody

in the world, okay,

that can do

what you can do.

[screaming]

To me, that is

a million dollar act.

- The act finishing

in fourth place

is the Professional

Regurgitator.

- Paul Zerdin won that season.

I felt like swallowing him

because it should have been me.

[elevator door dings]

But you'd better watch out,

Paul,

because now I'm back.

[Richard Strauss'

"Also Sprach Zarathustra"]

And I'm looking forward

to performing for the judges,

especially Heidi.

Being a supermodel,

I'd have thought she'd be

a little bit more grossed out,

but she enjoyed it more

than any other judge.

So it's upped the ante

on this one

because I just don't wanna

disappoint her again.

This time,

I'm going to win it.

[inhales]

[cheers and applause]

- You have no idea

how much I love you.

- Thank you.

- I'm so excited!

- [laughs]

- What does he do?

[dramatic music]

Oh, he's, like, vomiting?

- Do not try this at home.

- Hello.

Back again.

This is so cool just

to have me back.

It's such a privilege.

Anyway, let's begin the show.

What I have here, right,

is a very small screw

and a bolt.

Right, as you see,

even to try it with your hands,

it's pretty hard to turn on.

What I am going to do,

first of all,

I'm going to swallow

the tiny little bolt.

Hmm?

[inhales]

Then I will pop in the screw.

[crowd screaming]

- Oh.

- Now, I am going to put that

little screw onto the bolt,

but I'm going to make

it harder.

Do you want it on

at the beginning,

would you like it on

at the middle,

or would you like

it on at the end?

Tell me what--

[crowd shouting]

In the middle?

- Middle.

- Okay, we will

do that for you.

In the middle.

Now, it'll take a few

seconds to do it.

Once I get it on,

it'll move quick.

It's just the getting on.

So let me do this for you now.

[laughter]

I actually have the bolt

pushed onto the screw,

and all I got to do now

is just turn the little bolt.

It's working.

So open my tummy

and you'll see it better.

[laughter]

- My God.

- Right.

- What is he doing?

- I want to try and get

it on as close

to the center as possible.

[laughter]

[inhales sharply]

[slaps, spits]

[laughs]

[laughter]

And we have it right

on the center.

[cheers and applause]

Now...

Uh-oh.

I have here

a small plum tomato.

Now, what I'm going to do is

use this very sharp

Stanley blade.

- Oh!

- Uh-oh.

I'm going to swallow, first

of all, the full tomato.

[quirky music]

[inhales]

- Okay!

- This is very, very sharp.

I will let you see.

I'm going to place this inside

beside the tomato,

and I'm going to slice

the tomato in half.

[crowd shouting]

[buzzer]

[crowd shouting]

Oh!

- I can't watch this.

I can't watch this.

- Okay.

[booing]

- Boo!

- Is that okay?

[booing]

- It's half.

It's coming back up.

[coughs]

There is the Stanley blade.

[coughs]

- Yes!

- And there you

have the tomato.

[laughs]

[cheers and applause]

[Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out"]

- I'm coming out

- I want the world to know

Got to let it show

- First, I want to know

why Simon buzzed...

- Yeah.

- Because that's just crazy.

- Why--

[booing]

Because he was making me

want to throw up.

[laughter]

- I'm coming out

- Howie, what do you think?

- Well, you know, I'm--I'm

a huge fan of Steve's.

Steve, you've been

around for years.

This is what you make

your living doing.

You're polarizing.

- Yeah.

- You know, it's either I love

it or I can't look at it.

But you're the

consummate professional.

- Yeah, thanks, my man.

- I'm coming out

- Mel.

- For me, it was the last part

of your act that really

had me thinking,

"Oh, my gosh,

how does he do it?"

You're very good

at what you do.

- Thank you.

- Well done.

- Thank you.

- I think you're absolutely

incredible, amazing.

There's no one like you,

and I think that is what

is so special about you.

- Thanks, Heidi.

- And, you know,

it's a little bit gross,

yes, but I love it because

you're really, really special

and I wish you good luck

and I hope that the people

from the 50 states

are thinking about this.

Good luck!

- Thank you, Heidi.

- I'm coming out

- We'll see you later.

- See you later.

- Yes.

- Bye.

- All right,

the Regurgitator.

- All right, my man.

Boy, [bleep] Simon Cowell.

- Oh, no.

Look, listen.

Heidi loves you.

- Yeah.

- If Heidi had

the Golden Buzzer,

she might have hit

that for you.

- That personally

makes me upset.

- Oh, I was really upset.

- I'm mad at you.

- Good.

- I'm mad because it

influences these people.

- I'm not gonna say I love

everything if I don't.

- Oh, almost scared me

half to death,

when the regurgitator was

swallowing the razor blade

and he Xed him

right in the middle.

- Ooh.

- Yeah.

- I'm Brian Justin Crum,

and I was a finalist

on season 11

of "America's Got Talent."

When I was growing up, I came

out of the closet very young,

and I dealt with

a lot of bullying

not only because I was gay but

also because I was overweight.

Music was always

my safe place in this world.

[dramatic music]

I had hoped that I could

be a singer.

But I had all of these people

telling me that I was,

you know, a piece of crap.

So I had a really hard time

finding my place.

Can anybody find me

"AGT" gave me that place

that I belonged.

Love

I had no idea that so many

people all over the world

were going to connect with

what I had experienced,

and from every corner of this

planet, I got messages.

It was really gratifying

to see other people

know that they're

not alone in--

in what they're going through.

- The act leaving

the competition

is Brian Justin Crum.

- When I got fourth place,

I was surprised.

It felt so close.

But I wasn't good enough.

I think the songs that

I sang were wrong.

I hadn't really honed

in on who I am.

Now, two years later,

it's my chance to try again.

I feel like I've found

my own voice.

I was so close last time.

But it was really important

for me

to understand

why I didn't win.

Now I feel like I have

the right song.

That's why I came back

on this show.

I'm excited to show the world

where I'm at now,

and I wanna see how far

I can go this time.

Who doesn't want to win?

[cheers and applause]

- Oh!

- Yes!

- Oh, I love him!

Yay!

Yes!

- What's going on?

- We meet again, Brian.

- Here we are.

- You were in the 2016 year,

is that right?

- Yeah, season 11.

I came in fourth place.

- Yeah, you did really well.

- Thank you.

- I think you deserved

to have done even better.

This is why we asked you

to come back

on the "Champion" show.

You're one heck

of a singer, Brian.

Well done for having

the guts to come back.

- Awesome, I am super

grateful for being here.

- I love you.

- You guys are awesome.

I love you.

- Let's see what the next

three minutes does

to change your life.

Good luck.

- All right.

[cheers and applause]

- I want that jacket.

- My gift is my song

[Elton John's "Your Song"]

And this one's for you

[cheers and applause]

And you can tell everybody

That this is your song

It may be quite simple

But now that it's done

I hope you don't mind,

I hope you don't mind

That I put it down in words

How wonderful life is

Now you're in the world

So excuse me forgetting

But these things I do

You see, I've forgotten

If they're green

or they're blue

Anyway, the thing is

What I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes

I've ever seen

Yeah

And you can tell everybody

That this is your song

It may be quite simple

But now that it's done

I hope you don't mind,

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is

Now you're in the world

- Whoo!

- Ah

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- He killed it.

- My man!

Wow.

- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

- Okay, uh, let's

start with Howie.

- First of all,

you are a brilliant singer,

performer,

consummate professional.

And you are a champion.

You are a winner.

It's amazing.

I would imagine our 50 states

are now clicking.

Only one more spot

to go through.

I think you just locked it in,

young man.

I do.

- Mel.

- This is your song

- This is how you put on

a killer, killer,

killer performance.

My God, you just smashed it.

Smashed it, smashed it,

bish, bosh, bang.

Smashed it.

You're brilliant.

Brilliant.

- Thank you.

- Heidi.

- I mean, you can sing.

You can just sing

so beautifully.

I feel it when you sing.

I'm right there with you.

And you command that stage

like no one else.

I mean, you're so special.

And I loved seeing

you again today.

[cheers and applause]

- So much has happened

since we saw you, uh,

whether it's

"The Greatest Showman,"

whether it's "A Star Is Born,"

there is a shift--

there's a change in music.

And this is where

you should be.

You should be singing

those kind of songs.

You have an absolutely

amazing voice.

Amazing voice.

This was in a different league

to anything you've done before.

I'm very proud of you, Brian.

And the 50 states voting,

I think you have a shot

after that.

I really do.

- Thank you.

- That was great.

- Well done.

- Awesome.

Thanks, guys.

- I hope you don't mind,

I hope you don't mind

That I put down into words

- I think it's a stiff

competition,

but between your Golden Buzzer

and him,

I think he just locked it in.

- But we've been

surprised before.

- Are you ready for some more

talent tonight?

[cheers and applause]

- It's gonna be really hard.

This is "Champions."

- I'm glad I'm not the one

making the decision tonight.

- You know,

I look around the room

and I see

all these people.

Do you think the pressure

is higher than ever before?

- It's really hard,

and I'm 44.

It is the best of the best.

- Yeah.

- And it's like, "Wow."

My name is Kenichi Ebina.

I'm a dancer.

- Listen, I always called

myself the biggest robot

of all time.

- No.

- But you are the best.

- I'm the smallest.

- You are the best.

- And I was the winner

of season eight

of "America's Got Talent."

When I first walked

on the stage,

the judges didn't think I was

gonna be very good.

- How did you get

into performing?

- Um, I knew only

the running man.

[laughter]

But then...

- Oh, my God!

- Wow!

- I was like, "Yes."

- The winner is...

- When America chose me

as a winner...

- Kenichi Ebina!

- It was, like, one of

my best moments of my life.

I felt like all America,

you know, loved me.

"America's Got Talent"

gave me such a success.

I was Internet sensation.

In any countries I go,

somebody recognize me.

"Oh, you're the guy who does,

uh--does, uh, this."

You know, everyone, this.

[uplifting music]

I want to keep performing

as long as possible.

But since then,

it's been five years,

so the dancers are getting

better and better

and I'm becoming older.

I'm 44.

- Does that make you a little

more nervous about this

performance tonight?

- Yes.

- Talk to me.

- My skill is not as good as

before, like five years ago.

Like, I see myself

moving heavy.

To compete, I have

to use my brain.

I'm always thinking about how

I get bigger and better.

But, um, it's gonna be tough.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh!

My favorite!

- Kenichi's in the house!

[cheers and applause]

- Kenichi!

Thank you for coming back.

- Thank you for inviting me.

- Now, you won

"America's Got Talent" 2013.

- Yes.

- So how did that

change your life?

- Well, of course,

my life is much better.

[laughter]

I've been traveling

all over the places.

And, uh, I make more money

and then--

[both] Wow.

- Yes!

- Good for you.

- Go for it.

Good luck.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

[electronic whirring]

[Sigma's "Changing"]

- Hell down, heaven now,

living in the same town

Trying to find

something new

- Whoa.

- Broken picture frame

I've been frozen in

Trying to find

a better view

This ain't me,

this ain't cool

This ain't what

I signed up to

This ain't right

It's no good,

no good, oh

Everything is changing

And I've been here

for too long

Going through

the same things

I've been hurting

all along

Got to move on

[barking]

- Level two!

[mechanical whirring]

- [laughing]

[cheering]

[barking]

[laughing]

[barking]

[groans]

[whimpers]

- I can't do this anymore

- [laughing]

[dog whining]

- Come on!

[barking]

- And I know, yeah

You gotta let go

- [grunts]

- How'd he do that?

- [shouting]

[metal clanging]

- I've been here

for too long

Everything is changing

Oh

[cheers and applause]

- He's a one-man action movie.

- What do you think, Heidi?

- I just would love

to be in your brain,

just to see how you

figure it all out.

You always come up

with something new,

and I'm a huge fan, Kenichi.

- Thank you, thank you.

- I really am.

I loved it.

- Well, first of all,

that isn't easy.

And you are already a winner.

So that's that, right?

- Yes.

- Now...

[clears throat]

- Get ready.

- I have to be really,

really honest.

Now, you won it--

Hold on!

[booing]

I would have--I--

Oh, jeez.

I just think--I think on this

occasion, you overachieved.

I think the production

was too big.

But, I mean, you can't take

away from the fact

that you separated your body

and you moved your head

off your body.

I mean, come on.

- Look, I've always, always,

always loved you.

That was original,

and to have you back,

it's fantastic,

because the more we see you,

the more we like you.

Well done.

And what's the dog's name?

- Pup.

- Where do we buy them?

- Uh, Amazon.

[laughter]

- Well, thank you very much,

Kenichi.

- Well done.

- Thank you so much.

- See you a bit later.

- I'm feeling better

Since you know me

- Hello, everyone.

You can boo Mel

as much as you want.

- No! No!

- Let's just practice that,

one boo.

[booing]

- No!

- Big round of applause

for Mel.

[cheers and applause]

- Why? Why me?

- Welcome back.

All of the acts

have had their shot.

The goal is a spot

in the finals,

and now it's crunch time.

Kechi is already through.

That's down

to Simon's Golden Buzzer.

[cheers and applause]

So that leaves just one spot

open in the finals,

and we've got nine acts

who want it.

- Victory is in my face

- The Golden Buzzer's

been given away,

so there's only one act left

to go to the final,

so it's very nerve-racking.

I don't want to go home yet.

- You just smashed it.

I wanted more

and more and more.

- We got to the best

of the best in our groups,

and now we're in the best

of the best of the best.

And that wasn't a stutter.

That was a real--

all those bests.

- I just love you.

- You are a champion.

You are a winner.

- I feel like there

is an added pressure

because I won my season.

You want people to go,

"Ah, well, that's why you won,

and that's why

you could win again."

[buzzer]

- You know who's

really pissed at you?

- Yep.

- He's giving you evil eye.

- This was in

a different league,

something you've never

done before.

I think you have a shot

after that.

- This is it.

The votes are locked now.

[cheers and applause]

First, let's find out

who made it into the top three.

The first act is...

Brian Justin Crum!

[cheers and applause]

Yes!

Okay!

The act taking the next spot

in the top three is...

Paul Zerdin!

[cheers and applause]

Congratulations, Paul!

There's just one spot left

in the top three.

Our 50 states have voted.

Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait.

This has never happened before.

It's a dead heat.

- What does that mean?

- Two of you have tied for the

final spot in the top three.

[cheers and applause]

The acts going

into the top three are...

- Really?

[cheers and applause]

Tape Face and Drew Lynch!

[cheers and applause]

Come on in.

Come on in.

Let's hear it

for all our other acts!

Thank you so much

for being here.

- That's unbelievable.

- Whoo, so we have

our top acts:

Brian Justin Crum,

Paul Zerdin,

Tape Face,

and Drew Lynch!

[cheers and applause]

But now only one act

can go through to the finals.

It's all down to how

our 50 states voted.

- Oh!

- Brian, you won

in Hawaii, Texas,

and your home state

of California.

Paul, you won the South,

and most of your votes

were from women.

[cheers and applause]

- Tape Face, you did your best

with male voters.

And, Drew, you did your best

with voters age 18 through 34.

- Whoo-hoo!

- First, we're gonna find out

who finished in third place.

Our states have voted.

The act finishing

in third place is...

Tape Face and Drew Lynch!

[cheers and applause]

Congratulations, guys!

- This will make you happy

yet sad.

- You guys are amazing!

Thank you so much.

Let's hear it one more time

for Tape Face and Drew Lynch,

please!

[cheers and applause]

That leaves us

with Brian Justin Crum

and Paul Zerdin,

two acts for one spot.

The superfans have decided.

The act going through

to the finals is...

- So why let your voice

be tamed?

Baby, we're

a little different

There's no need

to be ashamed

You've got the light

to fight the shadows

So stop hiding it away

Come on,

come on

- Brian Justin Crum!

- I wanna sing,

I wanna shout

I wanna scream...

- Paul, you were great,

my man!

Everybody give it up

for Paul Zerdin!

Congrats.

Brian, you are in

the finals of "Champions"!

[cheers and applause]

- Yeah!

- Brian, what do you want to

say to the people of America?

- I just want to say

thank you, thank you,

thank you, guys, so much.

This is my dream, and thank you

for helping me get here.

[cheers and applause]

- And please welcome back

our Golden Buzzer, Kechi!

- Whoa!

- These two acts will be

back in the finals,

and one of them could be

crowned "AGT: Champions"

the best in the world.

Next time, ten more acts

will be fighting

for a spot in the final.

It's gonna be epic!

I'm Terry Crews.

Good night, America!

[cheers and applause]
