FOR YOU TO PRESS YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER TONIGHT?

>> Heidi: IT'S A PRIVILEGE I HAVE THAT I GET TO DO THIS TO

MOVE SOMEONE FORWARD TO THE BIG FINALE.

I WANT TO DO THE SAME THING. USUALLY IT'S MY STOMACH.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> YOU SEE THAT, RIGHT?

WATCH THIS. >> THAT'S UNREAL.

>> I DO STREET MAGIC ALL THE TIME.

I LOVE SHOCKING PEOPLE. MY TALENT IS CRAZY MAGIC.

>> DON'T DO THAT. >> I LOVE MAKING OTHER PEOPLE

FREAK OUT. I'M ALWAYS CHASING THAT FEELING.

>> NO WAY. >> WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I WATCHED

A LOT OF MAGIC ON "AGT" THAT INSPIRES ME TO BE A MAGICIAN.

BEFORE MY AUDITION, MY HANDS WERE LIKE SHAKING AND I'M SO

NERVOUS. AND MY FINGERS KIND OF TAKE OFF

LIKE THAT. YEAH.

>> THAT'S CRAZY. >> DON'T BLINK.

. I WAS BORN WITH TOURETTE

SYNDROME. WHEN I DO MY MAGIC, IT GOES

AWAY. >> Simon: THAT WAS THE MOST

CRAZY CLOSE-UP MAGIC I'VE EVER SEEN.

>> I WANT TO PROVE MY MAGIC BELONGS ON THE STAGE.

I'M UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE WHICH MAKES MY TOURETTE'S

SYNDROME COME OUT. I'M GOING TO DO IT.

I'M GOING TO GET MY DREAM. >> HELLO, "AGT."

SIMON, CAN YOU HELP ME RIGHT HERE?

>> Simon: HERE? >> RIGHT HERE.

TURN LIKE THIS. TURN LIKE THIS.

RELAX YOUR FINGERS LIKE THAT. YEAH.

THANK YOU, "AGT." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: SAM HUANG! HEIDI?

>> Heidi: I MEAN, SAM, I GOT TO HAND IT TO YOU -- HA HA HA.

YOU MIGHT BE THE FIRST PERSON WHO

WHO EVER PUT A RING ON SIMON COWELL'S FINGER.

I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU DO, BUT MY STOMACH WAS NOT TALKING FOR

THE GOLDEN BUZZER, BUT I LOVE YOU A LOT.

I DO. I LIKE YOU A LOT, SAM.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: SOFIA?

>> Sofia: SAM, I THINK YOUR MAGIC IS VERY UNIQUE.

YOU'VE BEEN ONE OF OUR VIRAL ACTS THIS SEASON.

I THINK PEOPLE LOVE YOU. I DO WANT TO SEE, I MEAN, WHAT

YOU CAN BRING TO THE FINALS. I LOVE IT.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Simon: LOVE WHAT?

LOVE HIS HAND? WHAT?

I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF MAGIC ON THE SHOW.

SOMETIMES WE SEE THE SAME THING YEAR ON YEAR.

TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS BRILLIANT.

TO DO IT LIVE IS HARD. I THINK YOU ARE -- YOU HAVE

GOT -- YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF A REALLY, REALLY GOOD SHOT OF

MAKING IT THROUGH TO THE FINAL AFTER THAT.

>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: MY ONLY THING IS, THE

MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND WAS TERRIBLE.

THAT WAS THE ONLY THING. >> Terry: HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU

THINK? >> Howie: YOU'RE MY FAVORITE

CLOSE-UP MAGICIAN I'VE EVER SEEN ON THIS SHOW.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Howie: I'VE NEVER SEEN

ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING --

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T SAY IT OUT LOUD.

>> Simon: I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

>> Howie: CAN HE ONLY DO THAT WITH HIS FINGERS?

>> Terry: SAM, HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THAT PERFORMANCE?

>> IT'S INCREDIBLE AND UNREAL. I FEEL SO -- I'M IN SHOCK.

EVEN MYSELF, YEAH. >> Terry: THANK YOU.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, SAM. LISTEN, ONLY THREE ACTS WILL

MAKE THE SEMI-FINAL, AND THAT IS ALL DOWN TO YOU AND YOUR VOTES.

NOBODY GETS THROUGH WITHOUT YOU. UP NEXT, A COUNTRY DUO FROM

CANADA. IT'S THE REKLAWS, WHEN WE COME

BACK. *

* [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: THIS BROTHER AND SISTER GREW UP ON AN ADVENTURE

FARM IN CANADA AND STARTED SINGING COUNTRY SONGS BETWEEN

PIG RACES. FOR REAL.

HERE'S THE REKLAWS. >> COUNTRY MUSIC IS VERY TOUGH

BUSINESS TO BREAK INTO. >> IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD OF

HAVING NO MONEY. WE WON'T GET.

>> REKLAWS, KEEP SHOWING UP UNTIL YOU'RE HIRED.

ANYWAYS -- >> WHEN WE PUT OUT OUR FIRST

SONG, I WAS WORKING AT STARBUCKS AND IT CAME ON THE RADIO.

>> IT WAS THE SAME DAY I WAS WORKING AT A POOL COMPANY.

I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL AND MY BOSS WAS LIKE HITTING ME

WITH THE SKIMMER. I SWAM UP.

I'M LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON? HE HAD A BOOM BOX.

HE WAS LIKE, THIS IS YOU. HE SAID, I THINK YOU SHOULD

QUIT. * PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT *

>> OUR FIRST AUDITION WE SANG THE MOST EMOTIONAL SONG WE HAVE.

>> WE WANTED IT TO BE A SONG ABOUT OUR MOM.

WE LOST OUR MOM TO MENTAL HEALTH.

WE DON'T WANT HER MEMORY TO BE SAD.

SHE WAS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY. THE NEXT ROUND IS WHY WE'RE

DOING THE SONG WE'RE DOING. >> WHAT WOULD SHE BE SAYING

RIGHT NOW? >> SHE WOULD SAY, JUST DON'T

EMBARRASS US. >> WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO

FEEL WHEN YOU'RE ON STAGE? >> I WANT EVERYONE TO NOT

REALIZE THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET BY THE END.

>> WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME, BUT WE HAVEN'T FULLY

BROKEN THROUGH. THAT'S WHY THIS PERFORMANCE IS

SO IMPORTANT TO US. >> WE KNEW THAT PEOPLE WANTED

SONGS TO DANCE TO. >> EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIDAY

NIGHT GOOD TIME SONG. THAT'S WHAT THIS SONG IS, BUT ON

ANOTHER ORIGINAL SONG. I THINK IT'S A CATCHY SONG.

YOU GUYS LOOKED AMAZING ON THE STAGE.

I MEAN, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU GUYS THAT I REALLY LIKE AND

I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU DO GREAT TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: HOWIE?

>> Howie: ME? >> Terry: YES, SIR.

>> Heidi: ISN'T YOUR NAME HOWIE? >> Howie: YEAH.

I LOVE THE REKLAWS. I LOVE YOU.

I KNOW YOUR WORK. THE SONG YOU SANG AT THE

AUDITIONS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST MOVING, ONE OF THE MOST

MOVING SONGS I EVER HEARD. IT TOUCHED ME PERSONALLY.

IT WAS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YOU LOOK FOR THE NEXT RAUNOUND O THIS TO LIFT YOU UP OR BE

BETTER. I LOVED THE LAST SONG BETTER.

THAT DOESN'T MATTER. MAYBE PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER THAT

SONG AND AGREE WITH ME. I LOVED THE LAST SONG BETTER.

>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: YOU TOLD US YOU

STARTED AT THE PUMPKIN PATCH. YOU CAME FROM THE PUMPKIN PATCH

TO PASADENA, "AGT," BIGGEST STAGE IN THE WORLD.

I THINK YOU'RE DOING FANTASTIC. IT'S SO SWEET YOU'RE BROTHER AND

SISTER DUO. THAT RAZZLE DAZZLE OUTFIT YOU

HAVE ON, I'M LOVING IT. >> YOU BEAT ME TO THE CORSET.

>> Heidi: I LOVE THE DID HE NICK THING.

>> Terry: SIMON, WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS?

>> Simon: I THINK YOU'RE VERY TALENTED.

IT'S OBVIOUS. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING

THIS? >> A LONG TIME.

>> Simon: YOU HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP.

WHAT'S FRUSTRATING FOR ME IS BECAUSE YOU'RE SO TO LALENTED AN

YOU WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS, THIS IS NOT THE SONG THAT ENDS THE

CONCERT. IT'S THE MIDWAY SONG.

IT'S NOT "THE" SONG. I THINK WHEN YOU GOT THE

OPPORTUNITY, YOU GOT TO GRAB IT. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIKE YOU.

IT DIDN'T DO FOR ME WHAT YOUR FIRST SONG DID FOR US WHEN WE

FIRST MET. >> Terry: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT

WHAT SIMON JUST SAID? >> WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH THE

COMPETITION. >> Terry: GOOD POINT.

>> BUT HONESTLY THIS WAS JUST SUCH A COOL OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN

FRONT OF YOU GUYS, IN FRONT OF THIS CROWD, IN FRONT OF AMERICA.

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. >> Terry: I WANT TO ASK YOU

GUYS, FROM PIG RACES TO "AGT," HOW DOES THIS FEEL RIGHT NOW?

>> WE'RE JUST SO BLESSED TO BE HERE TRULY.

WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU GUYS OUR WHOLE LIVES.

IT'S JUST SURREAL. >> FOR REAL.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. THE SEMI-FINAL IS AT STAKE RIGHT

NOW. TO VOTE FOR THE REKLAWS, GET

ONLINE OR USE THE "AGT" APP. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR

EACH ACT WITH EACH OF THE VOTING METHODS, SO GO VOTE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: UP NOW ARE 18 YOUNG

DANCERS WHO MOVE AS ONE, AND THEIR INCREDIBLE PRECISION IS

NEXT LEVEL. THEY'RE HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD

WHAT THEY CAN DO, AND THEY'RE HERE TO WIN.

FROM NAGOYA, JAPAN, HERE'S SABRINA.

>> SHOPPING. >> EATING.

>> AND CAFE. >> THIS IS THE DANCE STUDIO WE

ALWAYS HANG OUT AT. [ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL

LANGUAGE ] >> WE ARE NORMAL GIRLS, BUT WHEN

WE PUT ON OUR COSTUMES, WE ARE FIERCE DANCERS.

* WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER * >> Simon: YOU'VE GOT A REAL SHOT

OF WINNING AFTER THAT. >> WE WANT TO SHOW WE ARE THE

BEST IN THE WORLD. >> THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE.

>> FOR THIS PERFORMANCE EVERYTHING IS BETTER.

>> COSTUMES -- BETTER. >> CHOREOGRAPHY -- BETTER.

>> EVERYTHING -- BETTER. >> WE WANT TO WHEN.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *

* *

* *

* *

*

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: SABRINA! WOW.

SOFIA? >> Sofia: THEY ARE AWESOME.

I MEAN, I THINK -- EVERYONE IS GOING CRAZY.

THE MUSIC, THE WAY YOU GUYS LOOK, THE SYNCHRONICITY, YOU CAN

TELL YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN SO MUCH WORK.

CONGRATULATIONS. >> Terry: SIMON, YOU SEE THE

REACTION IN HERE? >> Simon: I WAS LOOKING AROUND,

TERRY. JUDGING BY THE AUDIENCE

REACTION, THIS IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST REACTION WE'VE HAD SO

FAR. THAT'S ALWAYS A VERY GOOD SIGN.

THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS WE DID HAVE A GROUP WHO WON THE

SHOW, THE MAYAS, A FEW YEARS AGO, WHO WERE SPECTACULAR.

THAT WASN'T AS GOOD. [ CROWD BOOING ]

HOWEVER, I THINK -- BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE BETTER.

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS SHOW.

THINGS HAVE JUST GOT TO GET BETTER.

IT WAS GREAT. IT'S THE BEST SO FAR, BUT

THERE'S STILL WORK TO DO I THINK.

>> Terry: HOWIE? >> Howie: FIRST OF ALL, SIMON,

THEY'RE NOT COMPETING WITH SOMEBODY THAT WAS ON THREE YEARS

AGO. TALKING ABOUT THE COMPETITION,

WE HAVE THREE GOLDEN BUZZERS AS JUDGES.

TWO OF MY GOLDEN BUZZERS WERE DANCE TROOPS.

THIS IS THE YEAR OF DANCE. THE BAR IS SET HIGHER IN DANCE

THIS YEAR THAN ANY OTHER YEAR. YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. THE COSTUMES, THE CHOREOGRAPHY

AND EVERYTHING. BEST OF LUCK.

ONLY THREE GOING THROUGH. IT'S UP TO YOU, AMERICA.

>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I FEEL LIKE THAT YOU

ARE A HYBRID OF AVANT GUARDE AND MAYAS TOGETHER.

I BELIEVE WITH THIS PERFORMANCE AMERICA WILL VOTE YOU THROUGH TO

THE NEXT ROUND. FINGERS CROSSED.

I THINK YES. >> Terry: SABRINA, THAT WAS

FANTASTIC. I HAVE TO ASK, WHICH ONE OF YOU

IS SABRINA? >> NONE OF US, BUT ALL OF US.

>> Terry: ALL OF THEM. >> WE ARE --

[ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE ]

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY. REMEMBER, ONLY THREE ACTS CAN GO

INTO THE SEMI-FINAL, SO MAKE SURE YOUR FAVORITE IS ONE OF

THEM. LET'S KEEP IT GOING.

HERE'S OUR NEXT ACT. "AGT" OFFERS THE CHANCE TO MAKE

YOUR DREAM COME TRUE AND LIVE THE LIFE YOU REALLY WANT.

THIS ACT IS A DENTIST BY DAY, BUT THE REST OF THE TIME SHE

PURSUES HER PASSION -- BEING AN AERIAL PERFORMER.

FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, HERE'S KELSEY JANE.

THE JUDGES. I'M NERVOUS TO TELL YOU, BUT I

AM DENTIST. PUBLIC SPEAKING IS NOT MY THING.

>> Sofia: THAT WAS SPECTACULAR. >> I'VE ALWAYS COMMUNICATED WITH

MY BODY MOVEMENT. PERFORMING IS DEFINITELY MY

COMFORT ZONE. AFTER THE AUDITION I WENT BACK

TO MY DENTAL OFFICE. I WAS DOING SOME FILLINGS AND A

PATIENT REALIZED I WAS ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."

MIFF HAND WAS IN THE MOUTH AND MY JAW ON THE FLOOR WHEN THAT

HAPPENED. I STARTED IN BALLET WHEN I WAS 3

YEARS OLD. GROWING UP, IT WAS THE THING I

DID. I WAS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN

AERIAL. I THOUGHT YOU COULD ONLY LEARN

THAT AT A YOUNG AGE. I SAW "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN" AND

I SAW AN ACTRESS FLYING THROUGH THE AGEIR.

I THOUGHT IF THEY COULD TEACH HER, WHY NOT ME?

I'M JUST A NORMAL PERSON WITH A NORMAL JOB.

I CAME TO "AGT" BECAUSE I WANT MORE THAN JUST A NORMAL LIFE.

THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING AN

AERIALIST EVERY DAY. THAT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE.

>> Terry: AFTER THE BREAK, KELSEY JANE GETS HER SHOT.

THE PRESSURE'S ON, WHEN WE COME BACK.

* >> Terry: BEFORE THE BREAK WE

MET DENTIST FROM VEGAS WITH A BIG DREAM.

MAKE SOME NOISE FOR KELSEY JANE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* *

ALL MY LIFE HELD IT IN * I'VE BEEN CLOSING THE DOOR

ALL MY LIFE HELD IT IN BUT NOT ANYMORE *

* GOT TWO FEET ON THE FLOOR THIS IS IT

I'M STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE *

* PARDON MY IMPOSITION BUT THIS IS MY CONVICTION

I NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY MIND *

* I GOTTA BE ME GOTTA BE I

GOTTA BE WHO I KNOW I AM INSIDE *

* CAN FINALLY BREATHE TAKING IT IN

LOOK AT ME FLYING * * IF I WERE TO BE

ANYBODY ELSE I'D JUST BE HIDING

WHO I AM WHO I AM * * LOOKIN' BACK

BACK ON A LITTLE BOY NEVER GAVE HIM A CHANCE

TO EVER BE MORE * * I DIDN'T LOVE HIM

BUT I'M GONNA LOVE HIM RIGHT NOW AND FOREVER *

* IT'S TIME TO PUSH OPEN THE DOOR *

* PARDON MY IMPOSITION BUT THIS IS MY CONVICTION

AIN'T NOTHING LEFT TO HOLD ME DOWN NO *

* I GOTTA BE ME GOTTA BE I

IT JUST TOOK ME A MINUTE TO FIND IT

WHO I AM YEAH * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: KELSEY JANE! HEIDI, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET?

>> Heidi: YEAH, BECAUSE -- >> Terry: DO YOU FEEL IT?

>> Heidi: I AM -- GUYS -- >> Terry: STANDING OVATION.

>> Heidi: I KNOW. I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF TALK.

I AM FASCINATED BY YOU BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE KNOWS BUT

YOU'RE DENTIST AND YOU JUST DO THIS AS A HOBBY.

FOR ME THIS IS ALREADY MIND BLOWING.

OKAY. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS FLAWLESS

WHAT YOU DID UP THERE. YOU KNOW, I LOVE WHAT YOU DO UP

THERE. WHAT I LOVE THE MOST IS YOUR

SMILE. THE ENTIRE TIME, THE BEAUTY OF

YOUR FACE -- >> Simon: THAT'S GOOD FOR

DENTIST. >> Heidi: THE ATHLETICISM,

EVERYTHING, YOU'RE ALWAYS SMILING.

IT'S AMAZING. >> Terry: HOWIE?

>> Howie: I'M SORRY. I THINK SHE DID THAT, SHE'S

CLIMBING TO THE CEILING AND SHE'S DENTIST AND THE BEST THING

YOU LOVE ABOUT HER IS HER SMILE. >> Heidi: YOU DIDN'T HEAR

EVERYTHING. >> Howie: WE SEE A LOT OF THIS.

I'M GOING TO BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU, THIS KIND OF ACT,

UNLESS IT'S SPECTACULAR, IT BORES ME.

IF THIS WAS A DENTAL CONVENTION, YOU WERE GREAT.

[ CROWD BOOING ] IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE MORE

THEE MA TICK. IF IT WAS FLOSS AND IT WAS A

BEAUTIFUL FLOSSING -- >> Terry: I'M GOING TO SOFIA.

SOFIA, YOU WERE ONCE CONTEMPLATING A DENTAL CAREER.

WHAT DID YOU THINK? >> Sofia: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT

HAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING. KELSEY, I DO THINK YOU WERE

AMAZING. WE LOVED YOU DURING THE

AUDITION. I LOVE YOU TODAY.

MAYBE I DIDN'T LOVE THE SONG, BUT I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT.

I LOVE THAT YOU DID VERY DANGEROUS THINGS TONIGHT, WHAT

FELT VERY DANGEROUS. >> Howie: SHE WAS ALMOST

DENTIST, WEREN'T YOU? >> Sofia: ALMOST.

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: KELSEY, EXPLAIN TO US.

DENTISTS ARE LOADED. THEY ARE.

I KNOW THAT FOR A FACT. IF YOU'RE DENTIST AND YOU'RE

DOING REALLY WELL, WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

>> Heidi: BECAUSE IT'S FUN. >> Sofia: THIS IS HER DREAM.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, KELSEY.

SO, DO YOU WANT TO KEEP KELSEY'S DREAM ALIVE?

THEN SEND HER TO THE SEMI-FINAL. VOTING WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL

7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW. MAKE KELSEY SMILE.

>> Terry: THIS NEXT SINGER IS

ONLY 9 YEARS OLD. BUT AT THE AUDITIONS, SIMON SAID

HE HAD A GOD-GIVEN TALENT. FROM JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY,

>> THERE'S BODY GUARDS. I HOPE I DON'T GET TACKLED.

>> Simon: HAVE YOU BEEN KNOCKING ON MY DOOR?

COME ON. COME IN.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BEST SONG.

>> I THINK OF IT LIKE MY OWN LITTLE CONCERT.

>> Simon: THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY FUNNY ENOUGH.

KEEP IT YOUR OWN LITTLE CONCERT. >> WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING?

I SAT IN YOUR CHAIR TODAY. >> Simon: YOU DID?

WELL, I NEARLY GOT FIRED LAST NIGHT SO IT COULD HAPPEN.

>> SIMON, IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS, DO NOT GET FIRED.

>> Simon: YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GO TO A CONCERT AND YOU SAY, I WANT

TO HEAR THE BIG HIT? >> YEAH.

>> Simon: WHATEVER YOU SING, IT'S GOT TO BE THE BEST SONG OF

THE NIGHT. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO

SOMETHING SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

SAFE IS BAD. >> OH, MY GOSH.

I DID NOT THINK HE WAS GOING TO BE IN THERE.

I'M STILL SHOOK. >> YES, ME AS WELL.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M SPEAKING RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M LIVING RIGHT NOW.

WOW. AFTER GETTING THE ADVICE FROM

SIMON, I'M GOING TO BE ADDING A WHOLE BUNCH OF HIGH NOTES.

I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO PLAY IT SAFE.

I'M PUSHING MY VOCAL RANGE WAY HIGHER.

I'M SINGING A COVER, BUT I MADE IT SOUND LIKE MY OWN SONG.

IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE ORIGINAL ANYMORE.

I REALLY WANT TO WIN. MY DREAM IS TO SING MY OWN MUSIC

ALL AND THE WORLD. I'LL GO OUT THERE AND SHOW

AMERICA WHAT MY CONCERT LOOKS LIKE.

AMERICA, HOPE YOU LIKE IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> I'M HERE TO SHOW YOU CLOWNING IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

>> Simon: THAT WASN'T CLOWNING. THAT WAS FANTASTIC.

>> WHEN I FIRST CAME TO AMERICA, I SAW SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW

EXISTED. *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: I AM SO PSYCHED FOR

THIS NEXT ACT, ‘CAUSE IT'S MY GOLDEN BUZZER.

HE'S A COMEDIAN WHO TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, AND MAN, DOES HE

MAKE IT FUNNY. FROM CHIMANIMANI IN ZIMBABWE,

HERE'S LEARNMORE JONASI. I STARTED GETTING CALLS, DOING

SHOWS NONSTOP. SO I PROMISED MYSELF, IF I EVER

WIN A GOLDEN BUZZER, I'M GOING TO PICK UP THE CONFETTI FROM THE

STAGE AND SHIP IT TO EVERYBODY THAT HAS HELPED ME IN MY CAREER.

I HAVE A PIECE OF CONFETTI TO ELYSA, TO MY MOM.

TO MY GRANDPA, THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BELIEVING IN ME.

>> HE'S KNOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD.

>> THE PERSON THAT INSPIRED ME TO BE THE COMEDIAN I AM TODAY IS

MY GRANDFATHER. THIS PARTICULAR DAY MY

GRANDFATHER WAS STRESSED ON WHERE HE WAS GOING TO GET MONEY

TO BUY FOOD. THEN HE TURNED ON THIS BLACK AND

WHITE TV AND THERE WAS COMEDY AND HE STARTED LAUGHING.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF I WANT TO

MAKE PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY. TO PREPARE FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW

I'VE BEEN DOING SHOWS ALL OVER AMERICA AND I SPOKE TO PREACHER

LAWSON AND MIKE RENFIELD. ANY ADVICE TO ME?

I WANT TO BE THE BEST COMEDIAN TO WIN "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."

THE NEXT LETTER I MAIL TO MY GRANDFATHER IS GOING TO HAVE

MONEY IN IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* PUT MY HANDS UP AND THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG *

* THE BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY * * YEAH, IT'S A PARTY IN THE

USA *

>> HELLO, EVERYBODY. OH, MY GOD, MAN.

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE. I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.

I JUST GOT MY GREEN CARD EVERYBODY.

I'M SO EXCITED, AS SOON AS I GOT MY GREEN CARD I FOUND MYSELF

BECOMING SO AMERICAN AFTER THAT. YEAH.

LIKE I EVEN HAVE AN ALLERGY NOW. YES, I HAVE A GLUTEN ALLERGY.

IT CAME WITH THE GREEN CARD, OKAY.

THEY MADE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN A GLUTEN ALLERGY AND ANXIETY, AND

I WAS LIKE GIVE ME BOTH. BECAUSE WHERE I COME FROM HAVING

AN ALLERGY IS FOR THE WEALTHY. IT'S A SIGN THAT YOU CAN AFFORD

IT. I TOLD MY COUSIN THAT I WAS NOW

ALLERGIC TO GLUTEN, HE WAS LIKE, "CONGRATULATIONS, I'M SO HAPPY

FOR YOU." WOW!

MY GRANDFATHER DOESN'T GET IT. I WAS LIKE, GRANDPA, I'M NOW

ALLERGIC TO GLUTEN. MY GRANDFATHER WAS LIKE, WE HAVE

ALWAYS KNOWN YOU'RE GAY. I WAS LIKE "WHAT?"

MY AUNTIE WAS LIKE "YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

LEARNMORE. TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER, JUST

KNOW THAT IN COLLEGE I WAS A LITTLE BIT GLUTEN-FREE MYSELF."

I WAS, LIKE, NO! I THINK IT'S YOUR FOOD.

YOUR FOOD IS TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME.

I BOUGHT CHICKEN THE OTHER DAY. THE INGREDIENTS SHOULD BE

CHICKEN, BUT IT WAS LISTED SKINLESS, BONELESS, SLICED,

MARINATED, PRECOOKED, MICROWAVE READY CHICKEN.

HOW LAZY ARE YOU AMERICANS? IT'S RIDICULOUS.

BECAUSE WHERE I COME FROM, EATING CHICKEN IS A FOUR-DAY

OPERATION, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CATCH IT FIRST.

A CHICKEN DOES NOT TRUST ANYONE. IT'S ALWAYS WALKING AROUND

LIKE -- THIS IS WHY I'M SKINNY.

I'VE BEEN CATCHING MY OWN CHICKEN.

LOOK AT SOME OF YOU AMERICANS. I CAN TELL NONE OF YOU HAVE TO

CATCH YOUR OWN CHICKENS. I'M JUST SAYING.

I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK ME, IS

LEARNMORE YOUR REAL NAME? IS LEARNMORE YOUR REAL NAME?

WELL, YES, BECAUSE ZIMBABWEANS, WE BELIEVE IF YOU GIVE YOUR

CHILD A NAME THEY WILL BECOME WHAT YOU NAME THEM.

MY NAME IS LEARNMORE. I LOVE LEARNING NEW THINGS.

MY MOTHER'S NAME IS MEMORY. SHE NEVER FORGETS THINGS.

MY FATHER'S NAME IS ABSENT. I'M JOKING.

I'M JOKING. I'M JOKING.

HIS NAME IS JOHN. YES, JOHN DOE.

I DON'T KNOW HIM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MY NAME IS LEARNMORE JONASI. >> Terry: LEARNMORE JONASI, HE'S

MY GOLDEN BUZZER. SOFIA?

>> Sofia: YOU ARE FUNNY, A FUNNY PERSON.

I LOVE THAT YOUR COMEDY IS SO JOYFUL.

>> THANK YOU. >> Sofia: AND RELATABLE.

YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> Sofia: I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU TONIGHT.

I LOVE YOU. >> THANK YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO. >> Terry: SIMON, DO YOU LOVE

HIM? >> Simon: YEAH.

I THINK HONESTLY YOU'RE ONE OF THE BEST CONTESTANTS, ACTS,

HUMAN BEINGS HONESTLY THIS YEAR. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WHEN

YOU PERFORM, WHICH IS WE ALL FEEL THAT WE REALLY KNOW YOU.

YOU KNOW? THE MORE THAT WE SEE, THE

MORE -- YEAH, THAT I THINK IS YOUR APPEAL.

YOU'RE JUST A NATURALLY FUNNY PERSON.

>> THANK YOU. >> Simon: I THINK WHAT YOU DO IS

UNIQUE. IT'S MEMORABLE.

I THINK YOU'VE GOT A REAL CAREER AHEAD OF YOU.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A CLICHE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT.

>> Terry: HOWIE, YOU KNOW COMEDY.

>> Howie: I DON'T KNOW BETTER THAN ANYBODY.

I KNOW WHAT I LIKE. I KNOW WHAT THE WORLD IS LOVING.

THEY'RE LOVING YOU. YOU'RE SO LIKABLE.

YOU'RE SO PHYSICAL. TO BE ABLE TO COME FROM ANOTHER

COUNTRY, A WHOLE OTHER CULTURE AND TOUCH THE FUNNY BONE OF

EVERYBODY IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRY OF EVERY AGE IS MAGIC.

YOU, SIR, ARE MAGIC. >> THANK YOU.

>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: I LOVE YOUR

ENTHUSIASM. YOU REALLY LIGHT UP THE STAGE.

YOU MADE US ALL LAUGH. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> I APPRECIATE YOU. >> Terry: LEARNMORE, YOU'RE FROM

A SMALL TOWN. HOW MANY PEOPLE STAYED UP TO

WATCH YOU TONIGHT? >> HUNDREDS.

MY GRANDMOTHER IS WATCHING. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.

I LOVE YOU >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

LEARNMORE. LOOK, I WANT TO SEE HIM IN THE

SEMI-FINAL, BUT IT'S UP TO YOU. IF YOU AGREE, VOTE FOR HIM.

GO TO NBC.COM AND GET ON THE APP AND VOTE.

>>> COMING UP, A NURSE WITH A POWERHOUSE VOICE SHOOTS FOR THE

SEMI-FINAL. IT'S DEE DEE SIMON, WHEN WE COME

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >>> Terry: THIS SINGER HAS DONE

19 YEARS IN SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON -- AS A NURSE.

NERVOUS. I SAID, GET THE SHOES OFF.

* I'M TELLIN' YOU * YOU GOT TO OWN THAT STAGE.

I WAS SINGING LIKE I WAS BACK IN MY KITCHEN WITH MY LITTLE

THREE-PERSON AUDIENCE. MY SON, MY HUSBAND AND THE FIRE

BALL, MY MAMA. GROWING UP MY MOTHER KNEW I

WANTED TO SING, BUT THEN I STARTED MY FAMILY AND BECAME A

NURSE. I LOVE JUST HELPING PEOPLE.

WORKING AT SAN QUENTIN HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS.

IT IS A PRISON. THERE'S A NO HOSTAGE POLICY.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GO IN, YOU MAY NOT GET OUT.

WHEN THE INMATES SAW I WAS ON "AGT," IT WAS LIKE THE SUPER

BOWL WAS HAPPENING. SHE'S ON!

SHE'S ON! ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LONG

LIST OF PEOPLE THAT WERE SICK. I'M LIKE, HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD

THIS COLD? SO HOW WAS "AGT"?

MY MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME GO AFTER THIS DREAM.

DEFINITELY TODAY IS THE DAY AND I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

I JUST KNOW IT. I JUST KNOW IT.

>> YOU'RE GONNA WIN IT. >> I LOVE YOU.

LOVE -- I LOVE MOMENTS LIKE THIS WHEN, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE ISN'T A

FULL-TIME SINGER SAY, BUT HAS ALWAYS DREAMED OF IT AND GETS

THE OPPORTUNITY AND THERE WAS NO HOLDING YOU BACK.

THERE WAS NO FEAR. IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS

IS WHO I AM. THIS IS MY TIME.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] YOU JUST WENT FOR IT.

I LOVED THE MOMENT WHEN YOU KICKED SHOES OFF AND IT WENT UP

A GEAR. YOU KNOW, DEE DEE, I THINK

YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF A SHOT AT WINNING THE WHOLE COMPETITION.

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: A REAL PERSON LIVING

HER DREAM. THAT WAS AMAZING, THE WHOLE

THING. THE SONG, THIS IS MORE YOUR

LANE. I LOVED THIS PERFORMANCE EVEN

BETTER THAN THE AUDITION. CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: HEIDI, WHAT DO YOU

THINK? >> Heidi: I MEAN, DEE DEE, THE

RANGE, THE TONE IN YOUR VOICE, YOU LOOK SO STUNNING TONIGHT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. AMERICA, I LOVE YOU.

SAN QUENTIN. THANK YOU, GOD.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: BEFORE THE BREAK,

SINGING DEE DEE SIMON HAD AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT WHEN THIS

HAPPENED. HEIDI'S GOLDEN BUZZER PUTS DEE

DEE STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE FINALS.

JUST LOOK AT HOW HER FAMILY CELEBRATED.

IT'S WHAT EVERY ACT DREAMS OF. BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO DEE DEE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] OKAY.

TOMORROW NIGHT, THE RESULTS SHOW WILL BE OFF AND RUNNING AT

8:00 P.M. THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE ACTS WILL

MAKE THE SEMI-FINAL, AND IT WILL FEATURE AN EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE

FROM, NOT ONE, BUT TWO OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST SINGING STARS,

GRAMMY WINNER LAUREN DAIGLE AND YOU KNOW HER FROM "AGT," LOREN

ALLRED. THAT IS GONNA BE SOMETHING

SPECIAL. THAT'S THE RESULTS SHOW AT 8:00,

TOMORROW NIGHT. UP NEXT TONIGHT IS A ROCK

GODDESS. THAT'S WHAT SIMON CALLED HER AT

THE AUDITIONS. SHE PLAYS GUITAR LIKE, WELL,

LIKE A ROCKSTAR. AND SHE'S ONLY 11-YEARS-OLD.

FROM CHENNAI, INDIA, HERE'S MAYA NEELAKANTAN.

>> THE FIRST F TIME I EVER PICKED UP A GUITAR IS WHEN I WAS

6. ONCE I PLAYED, I JUST LOVED IT.

I WAS ALWAYS PLAYING GUITAR HERO WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER TOO.

MY DAD PLAYS GUITAR AS A HOBBY SO HE STARTED TEACHING ME HOW TO

PLAY. ONCE I SAW HEAVY METAL BANDS

PLAYING ON YOUTUBE, THAT WAS SO FUN.

I'M GOING TO L.A. I WANTED TO GO TO "AGT" BECAUSE

I REALLY LOVED IT. I DID NOT EVER EXPECT SOMETHING

THIS BIG TO BE HAPPENING. >> Simon: YOU'RE A TEN AND THEN

YOU TURNED INTO THIS ROCK GOD

GODDESS. >> IT'S SO UNBELIEVABLE HE SAID

THAT. AFTER MY AUDITION, I GOT TO MEET

GARY HOLT, ERIC PETERSON AND THEY ALL TAUGHT ME SO MANY

DIFFERENT THINGS. TONIGHT I'LL BE PLAYING A

METALLICA SONG. IT'S SO MUCH MORE FASTER, CRAZY

INTENSE THAN MY AUDITION SONG. I'M THE FIRST ACT METALLICA HAS

GIVEN PERMISSION TO PLAY ON "AGT."

I WANT TO MAKE METALLICA PROUD. WE'RE GOING TO ROCK THE HOUSE

AND IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG PARTY.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *

*

*

* *

>> "AGT," ARE YOU READY? *

*

* *

* [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: MAYA NEELAKANTAN. HOWIE?

>> Howie: THAT WAS LIKE VAN HALEN REINCARNATED.

YOU'RE AMAZING ON THAT. NOT ONLY THAT, THE FACT YOU WERE

MIXING IT IN WITH YOUR CULTURE AND MAKING IT SOUND LIKE A

GUITAR AND YOUR SMILE. YOU WOULDN'T THINK IT WOULD COME

FROM YOU. YOU ARE A SURPRISE.

YOU'RE AMAZING. I LOVE YOU.

I THINK AMERICA'S GOING TO LOVE YOU TOO.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> Terry: HEIDI?

>> Heidi: YOU'RE AMAZING. YOU'RE PERFECTLY YOU.

I I LOVED THAT YOU PICKED THIS

INSTRUMENT AND YOU'RE SO AMAZING ON IT.

WELL DONE. I HOPE AMERICA VOTES FOR YOU.

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE

THAT'S REALLY ALL THIS MUSIC COMING OUT OF YOU.

IT'S SUPER SURPRISING. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

THE SONG WAS PERFECT. I MEAN, THAT WAS THE MOST FUN

I'VE HAD TONIGHT. >> OH, THANK YOU.

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: IT WAS JUST WILD.

I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING. I GOT TO SAY A BIG, BIG THANK

YOU TO METALLICA FOR GIVING YOU THAT SONG.

>> Heidi: THAT WAS SO COOL. >> Simon: THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN

VERY OFTEN. I THINK YOU'RE JUST ONE OF THESE

PEOPLE WHO HAS A GOD-GIVEN TALENT.

IT'S ALWAYS BRILLIANT TO BE SURPRISED.

IT'S ALSO GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE IMPROVE FROM THEIR FIRST

AUDITION. THIS WAS A REAL STEP UP.

>> Sofia: BRAVO. >> Simon: I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S

GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING YOU'VE GOT TO

DO FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU'RE SO GOOD AT IT.

I MEAN, SERIOUSLY. THAT WAS BRILLIANT.

BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT. >> THANK YOU.

>> Terry: MAYA, YOU PLAYED A LEGENDARY SONG BY METALLICA.

HOW DID IT FEEL TO PLAY? >> SO AMAZING.

I'M SO HONORED I GOT TO PLAY METALLICA FOR THE FIRST TIME ON

"AGT." THANK YOU, METALLICA.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, MAYA.

WANT TO HEAR MORE GUITAR SHREDDING INTO SEMI-FINAL?

THEN VOTE FOR MAYA. GO TO NBC.COM AND USE THE "AGT"

APP. YOU HAVE THE POWER.

>>> COMING UP -- >> Heidi: I STRANGELY LIKED IT.

YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU HAVE KNIVES NEAR YOUR THROAT

*

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: DO YOU WANT TO BE A

STAR? DO YOU WANT TO LIVE THE DREAM?

THEN COME AND AUDITION FOR NEXT SEASON.

OUR NEXT VIRTUAL OPEN CALL IS OCTOBER 19th, OR YOU CAN SUBMIT

A VIDEO ONLINE AT ANY TIME. GO TO AGTAUDITIONS.COM.

THIS IS YOUR TIME. >>> NOW, HERE'S A YOUNG SINGER

WITH AN OLD SOUL. HE'S ONLY 15, BUT HIS VOICE IS

INCREDIBLE. IN FACT, HE GOT THE GOLDEN

BUZZER FROM HOWIE AT THE AUDITIONS.

FROM MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, HERE'S REID WILSON.

NERVOUS SINCE I GOT HERE. OH!

>> SO WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO KNOCK ON SIMON'S TRAILER?

>> I MEAN WHY NOT? IT'S RIGHT THERE.

WE WERE ALREADY RECORDING. I WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM TO BE

HOME. I WAS GOING TO KNOCK ON IT FOR

FUN. >> Simon: SONG CHOICE, IS IT A

COVER OR YOUR OWN SONG? >> I'M DOING A COVER.

>> Simon: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> I'M DOING A COVER.

>> Simon: I THINK WHEN YOU DO A COVER YOU HAVE TO ALMOST

REINVENT THE SONG. IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU OWN THE

SONG NOW, LIKE YOU WROTE IT. THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD SOUND

LIKE SO EVERYONE GOES, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SONG COULD SOUND LIKE

THAT. OTHERWISE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

DOING YOUR OWN VERSION AND BEING A KARAOKE SINGER.

>> I WAS TAKING IT ALL IN, EVERYTHING HE SAID.

IT WAS LIKE A MIND-BLOWING EXPERIENCE.

EVER SINCE SIMON GAVE ME THAT ADVICE, I'M ADDING THAT WOW

FACTOR MOMENT AND CHANGING IT TO BE MY OWN.

>> WE'LL TRY HERE AND THERE. >> I WANT TO WIN "AGT" BECAUSE

IT WOULD HELP ME BECOME A STAR AND, TWO, MY PARENTS MADE ME A

PROMISE. >> WHAT'S THE PROMISE?

>> THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO BUY A DOG.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * I'D LIKE TO SAY

WE GAVE IT A TRY * * I'D LIKE TO

BLAME IT ALL ON LIFE * * MAYBE WE JUST WEREN'T RIGHT *

* BUT THAT'S A LIE THAT'S A LIE *

* AND WE CAN DENY IT AS MUCH AS WE WANT *

* BUT IN TIME OUR FEELINGS WILL SHOW *

* 'CAUSE SOONER OR LATER WE'LL WONDER WHY WE GAVE UP *

* THE TRUTH IS EVERYONE KNOWS OH *

* ALMOST ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH *

* SO CLOSE TO BEING IN LOVE * * IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN

THAT YOU WANTED ME THE WAY I WANTED YOU *

* THEN MAYBE WE WOULDN'T BE TWO WORLDS APART *

* BUT RIGHT HERE IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS *

* AND WE ALMOST WE ALMOST KNEW WHAT LOVE WAS *

* BUT ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH * * THE TRUTH IS

EVERYONE KNOWS ALMOST ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH

IS NEVER ENOUGH BABY * * WE WERE CLOSE

SO CLOSE TO BEING IN LOVE * * THEN MAYBE WE WOULDN'T BE

TWO WORLDS APART BUT RIGHT HERE

IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS * * AND WE ALMOST

WE ALMOST KNEW WHAT LOVE WAS *

* BABY, BUT ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH *

* SO CLOSE TO BEING IN LOVE * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: REID WILSON! HOWIE, YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER AND

YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET AGAIN. >> Howie: DID I KNOW WHAT I WAS

KNOWING? DID I KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING?

>> Heidi: OKAY, YOU DID. >> Howie: THE FACT THAT YOU'RE

15 YEARS OLD AND YOU HAVE SO MUCH POISE, SO MUCH CONTROL,

YOUR VOICE IS SO CLEAR AND CRISP.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. I THINK YOU'RE SO CLOSE TO

GETTING A DOG. >> Heidi: WHAT?

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: YOU REMINDED ME --

BECAUSE YOU'RE SO HANDSOME YOU LOOK LIKE DAVID BOWIE.

THAT OUTFIT, THE SONG. I MEAN, I LOVED YOUR AUDITION.

TONIGHT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU BELONG ON THAT STAGE.

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: I REALLY DO BELIEVE,

REID, THIS IS GOING TO BE -- SINGING IS GOING TO BE YOUR

CAREER. IT IS SO IMPORTANT, BY THE WAY,

RIGHT NOW -- FORGET ABOUT POSTING STUFF ONLINE.

YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU JUST DID TONIGHT.

GET ON A STAGE. DO IT LIVE.

PERFORM IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE. IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU'RE NOT

GOING TO HAVE A SHOT GOING FORWARD.

I ALSO THOUGHT YOU'VE GOT REAL SOUL IN YOUR VOICE.

>> Sofia: YES. >> Simon: GENUINELY.

AGAIN, YOU KNOW, IT WAS SUCH FUN TALKING TO YOU AND YOUR FRIEND

LAST WEEK. I MEAN, I WAS REALLY, REALLY

WANTING YOU TO DO WELL TONIGHT, AND YOU DID.

I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU. >> Terry: HEIDI?

>> Heidi: YOU WERE SO, SO GOOD. YOU CAN REALLY HOLD YOUR OWN ON

THAT STAGE. EVERYONE WAS SO QUIET TRYING TO

HEAR EVERY SYLLABLE YOU WERE SINGING.

IT WAS EPIC. OF COURSE IT WAS BETTER THAN

WHAT I JUST DID. YOU WERE AMAZING.

>> Terry: REID, HOW DID IT FEEL TO GET A STANDING OVATION FROM

THE AUDIENCE AND THE JUDGES?

>> IT FEELS AMAZING. I MEAN, MY FAMILY'S UP THERE.

THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET AND ALL THE JUDGES.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR. I'M SO THANKFUL.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, REID.

REMEMBER PEOPLE, ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHO MAKES THE

SEMI-FINALS. IF YOU WANT REID TO MAKE IT,

VOTE. OKAY.

LET'S KEEP IT MOVING. HERE'S OUR LAST ACT OF THE

NIGHT. IF YOU'RE A CLOWN AND YOU

IMPRESS SIMON COWELL, YOU ARE DEFINITELY ONTO SOMETHING.

SIMON DOES NOT LIKE CLOWNS, BUT HE SAID THIS GUY'S AUDITION WAS

FANTASTIC. AND PEOPLE, DON'T EVEN THINK OF

TRYING ANYTHING YOU SEE AT HOME. FROM SUFFERN, NEW YORK, HERE'S

JELLYBOY THE CLOWN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> MY NAME IS ERIC BROOMFIELD. MY TRANSFORMATION INTO JELLYBOY

THE CLOWN BEGINS WHEN I PUT THE MAKE-UP ON.

EVERYTHING ABOUT ME CHANGES. I BECOME THIS OTHER PERSON.

EVERYBODY TOLD ME SIMON DOESN'T LIKE CLOWNS.

SO I KNEW THAT I HAD TO COME OUT THERE AND CHANGE THEIR MINDS.

20 YEARS AGO I WANTED TO PLAY ROCK 'N ROLL.

I STARTED SINGING IN A BAND. I STARTED DRESSING OUTRAGEOUSLY

AND KIND OF DIVE INTO FINDING MY ALTER EGO.

THAT'S WHERE JELLYBOY THE CLOWN CAME FROM.

SIDE SHOW JUST TOOK OVER MY LIFE.

>> Simon: WE NORMALLY GET -- OH. THAT WAS FANTASTIC.

>> BEING PART OF THIS COMPETITION MATTERS TO ME

BECAUSE BEHIND THE CLOWN MAKE-UP I'M A PERSON FOLLOWING HIS

DREAM. I HAVE A FAMILY NOW.

A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY YOU GOT A KID, YOUR LIFE IS OVER NOW,

BUDDY. YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY NOT LIKE

THAT. >> I WANT TO SEE ZOMBIE.

>> I WANT MY SON TO GROW UP SEEING THAT MY DAD CHASED HIS

DREAMS AND GRABBED THEM AND CAUGHT THEM.

I'VE BEEN WORKING HARDER ON THIS ACT THAN I THINK I'VE EVER

WORKED ON ANY ACT IN MY LIFE. TONIGHT'S SHOW COULD LAND ME IN

THE HOSPITAL, BUT IT COULD ALSO LAND ME IN THE SEMI-FINALS.

NOW IT'S ON. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: AFTER THE BREAK, JELLYBOY HAS JUST A COUPLE OF

MINUTES TO BLOW YOUR MINDS. CAN HE DO IT?

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: WELL, GIVEN WHAT HE DID AT THE AUDITIONS, ANYTHING

COULD HAPPEN NOW. BRACE YOURSELVES.

FROM NEW YORK, HERE'S JELLYBOY THE CLOWN.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *

* WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD MEN GONE AND

WHERE ARE ALL THE GODS * * WHERE'S THE

STREETWISE HERCULES TO FIGHT THE RISING ODDS *

* ISN'T THERE THE RIGHT KNIGHT

UPON A FIERY STEED * * LATE AT NIGHT

I TOSS AND I TURN AND I DREAM OF WHAT I NEED *

* I NEED A HERO * * UP WHERE THE MOUNTAINS

MEET THE HEAVENS ABOVE YEAH OUT WHERE THE LIGHTNING

SPLITS THE SEA * * I COULD SWEAR

THERE IS SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WATCHING ME *

* THROUGH THE WIND AND THE CHILL AND THE RAIN YEAH

AND THE STORM AND THE FLOOD *

* I CAN FEEL HIS APPROACH LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD *

* I NEED A HERO I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO

'TIL THE END OF THE NIGHT * * HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG

AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOT TO BE

FRESH FROM THE FIGHT * * I NEED A HERO

I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT *

* AND HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON

AND HE'S GOT TO BE LARGER THAN LIFE *

* I NEED A HERO I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO

'TIL THE END OF THE NIGHT * * HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG

AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOT TO BE

FRESH FROM THE FIGHT * * I NEED A HERO

I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT

YEAH * * HE'S GOTTA BE SURE

AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOT TO BE

LARGER THAN LIFE * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: JELLYBOY THE CLOWN. SIMON, YOU LOVED IT.

SIMON, YOU DON'T NORMALLY LIKE CLOWNS.

WHAT'S GOING ON? >> Simon: I LIKED IT BECAUSE

IT'S SOMETHING I'M GOING TO REMEMBER TOMORROW.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE EAT A SANDWICH, STICK SOMETHING DOWN

THEIR THROAT LIKE THAT AND THEN SEE WHAT'S ON IT WHEN YOU BRING

THE SWORD UP. I MEAN, THAT DESERVES A STANDING

APPLAUSE. I'M SORRY.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST REALLY ACTS LIKE THIS. I SHOULDN'T, BUT I DO.

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: I DON'T KNOW WHY WAS

IT NECESSARY FOR HIM TO COME AND DO IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.

>> Simon: SO WE COULD SEE IT'S REAL.

>> Sofia: FOR WHAT? >> Heidi: SO WE CAN HAVE A

BETTER LOOK WHEN IT COMES OUT WITH THE PEANUT BUTTER ON IT.

>> Sofia: I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING MORE HORRIFIC AND

EXCITING. >> THANK YOU.

>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: WE ALWAYS KNOW WHEN

YOU COME IT'S GOING TO BE STRANGE.

IT STILL STARTLES ME AND GROSSES ME OUT, BUT I STILL WANT TO SEE

A LITTLE MORE WHEN YOU DO. >> Terry: HOWIE?

>> Howie: WELL, I SAW HIM COME UP HERE AND EAT A PEANUT BUTTER

SANDWICH. THE NEXT THING I KNOW HEIDI WAS

ON MY LAP AND I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

>> Heidi: I'M SORRY. >> Howie: DON'T APOLOGIZE.

I'VE HAD MORE FUN TONIGHT THAN I'VE EVER HAD ON THE SHOW.

THANK YOU. >> Terry: HOW DO PEOPLE REACT

WHEN THEY SEE YOU ON THE STREET, MAN?

>> WHEN PEOPLE SEE ME ON THE STREET IN MAKE-UP, I GET A MIXED

REACTION. SOME PEOPLE SCREAM.

SOME PEOPLE LAUGH. ONE GUY FELL OFF HIS BIKE THE

OTHER DAY. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK, JELLYBOY.

OKAY. ONLY THREE ACTS CAN GO INTO THE

SEMI-FINAL. WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE GO

THROUGH? TO VOTE, GO TO NBC.COM AND USE

THE OFFICIAL "AGT" APP. WHAT A NIGHT.

HEIDI'S LIVE GOLDEN BUZZER PUT DEE DEE SIMON STRAIGHT THROUGH

TO THE FINALS. THAT LEAVES TEN ACTS FOR THREE

SPOTS IN THE SEMI-FINALS. TOMORROW WE GET THOSE RESULTS.

ONLY THREE ACTS WILL STAY IN THE COMPETITION.

IT IS GOING TO BE INTENSE. WE'RE BACK TOMORROW AT 8:00 P.M.

I AM TERRY CREWS.
