WE ARE LIVE WITH YOUR HOST, TERRY CREWS.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE *

>> Terry: WHOO! YES!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] HEY, IT'S WEEK TWO OF THE LIVE

SHOWS, AND HERE'S THE MATH TONIGHT.

WE'VE GOT 11 ACTS. WE'VE GOT 4 JUDGES.

HI, JUDGES. AND WE'VE GOT JUST TWO SPOTS IN

THE FINALS UP FOR GRABS. WE'VE GOT A LOT TO DO, AND THE

"AGT" TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION LIVE RIGHT NOW.

ARE YOU READY TO SEE SOME TALENT?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] UP FIRST IS A 9-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO

DREAMED OF GETTING THE GOLDEN BUZZER AT AN "AGT" AUDITION.

HE INSPIRED A GROUP OF DRUMMERS TO FOLLOW HIM TO THE "AGT"

AUDITIONS. AND THEN I MADE HIS DREAM COME

TRUE. FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA, HERE'S

CHIOMA AND THE ATLANTA DRUM ACADEMY.

MY GUYS! >> TO BE ON THE "AGT" STAGE,

THIS IS LIKE MY BIG DREAM. TO BE THE BEST DRUMMER IN THE

WORLD. MR. TERRY SAID, I'M HONORED TO

MAKE THAT DREAM COME TRUE. AFTER THAT, ALL WE DO IS SMILE.

IT'S STILL ON. LAST WEEK --

>> Simon: TO BE BETTER THAN YOUR AUDITION.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT I'M AFRAID.

>> WE NEED TO MAKE THIS BIGGER. >> CRAZY NEW MOVES.

>> I HAVE TO GO UNDER MY KNEE AND CATCH IT.

>> WHEN ONE DRUMMER IS OFF, THE WHOLE LINE IS OFF BEAT.

>> WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN ON STAGE.

JUST TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T, WE'RE WORKING SUPER HARD.

WE KNOW SIMON IS GOING TO LIKE IT A LOT.

GETTING THE GOLDEN BUZZER EVERYBODY EXPECTS US TO BE

BETTER. >> AND WE'RE GONNA PROVE THEM

RIGHT. >> DO YOU THINK WE CAN WIN?

>> YES! >> WE CAN WIN.

>> All: YES! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

** >> HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: MY GOLDEN BUZZER,

CHIOMA AND THE ATLANTA DRUM ACADEMY.

HOWIE? >> Howie: THEY DID EVERYTHING

YOU COULD ASK OF THEM. THEY SAID THEY WANTED TO STEP IT

UP. THIS IS BETTER.

NOT ONLY BETTER DRUMMING, BETTER SHOWMANSHIP, WHAT YOU WERE DOING

WITH THE WHEELIES AND DRUMS. THE FACT THAT WE JOINED IN MADE

YOU SO MUCH BETTER. WE ARE SO GOOD.

IT WAS GOLDEN BUZZER WORTHY. WHAT A WAY TO START THE SHOW.

WE LOVED IT. >> Terry: HEIDI?

>> Heidi: YOU PUT ON A SHOW FOR US TODAY.

YOU UTILIZED THE SPACE. I HOPE BEYONCE OR TAYLOR SWIFT

OR SOMEONE BIG LIKE THAT IS WATCHING.

THEY'RE DOING THESE GIGANTIC SHOWS RIGHT NOW AND YOU SHOULD

BE PART OF IT. I CAN SEE YOU UP ON THAT STAGE.

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: LIKE HOWIE SAID IT WAS

THE PERFECT ENERGY TO OPEN THE SHOW TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. IT WAS SO EXCITING TO SEE YOU

GUYS AGAIN. THE WHOLE THING WAS PERFECT.

I HAVE LOVED THE MUSIC. I LOVE THAT WE GOT TO PLAY WITH

YOU. GOOD LUCK.

>> Terry: SIMON, YOU GOT YOUR DRUMS HERE, MAN?

>> Simon: FIRST OF ALL, THE ENERGY WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

I SAY THIS AS A COMPLIMENT. IT WAS SORT OF BRILLIANTLY

MESSY. I ALWAYS THINK WITH A GROUP IT

NEEDS A GREAT IDEA AND TALENTED PEOPLE.

WHAT I JUST SAW THERE IS EVERYTHING.

IT WAS A GREAT IDEA. VERY TALENTED.

HEIDI IS RIGHT. I COULD SEE THIS -- I'M NOT

EXAGGERATING. I COULD SEE YOU WITH SOMEONE ON

THE SUPER BOWL DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

SERIOUSLY. SOMEONE SHOULD GET ON THE PHONE

AND SAY, COME AND JOIN ME. YOU'RE THAT GOOD.

I REALLY MEAN THAT. BRILLIANT.

>> Terry: CHIOMA AND ATLANTA DRUM ACADEMY.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU GUYS TOOK IT FROM HERE ALL THE WAY TO HERE.

I COULD NOT BE PROUDER TO HAVE MADE YOU MY GOLDEN BUZZER.

YOU'RE INCREDIBLE. I GOT TO SAY THIS, NOW YOU GUYS

HAVE WORKED VERY, VERY HARD. HOW DOES THIS FEEL RIGHT NOW FOR

YOU GUYS? >> INCREDIBLE!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

EVERYBODY. OKAY.

VOTING IS OPEN NOW. TO VOTE FOR ANY OF TONIGHT'S

ACTS, GO TO NBC.COM, OR USE THE "AGT" APP.

DOWNLOAD THAT FROM THE APP STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: COMING UP --

>> Heidi: I HAVE FOUR KIDS. YOU'RE LIVING MY DREAM.

>> STEPHEN HAWKING MIGHT BE SMARTER, BUT I'LL BEAT HIM IN A

** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: MANY YEARS AGO, A MAN AND A WOMAN MET DOING MUSICAL

THEATRE TOGETHER ON THIS VERY STAGE.

THEY FELL IN LOVE, GOT MARRIED, HAD KIDS.

THEN THE WHOLE FAMILY CAME TO AUDITION FOR "AGT" ON THE SAME

STAGE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. NOW THEY'RE HERE IN THE LIVE

SHOWS. FROM BASKING RIDGE, NEW JERSEY,

HERE ARE THE SHARPE FAMILY SINGERS.

>> WHEN I WAS SO LITTLE, I USED TO SEE CLIPS OF "AGT" AND I WAS

LIKE, MAN, IF I WAS ON THAT STAGE, IT WOULD BE CRAZY.

>> APPLE PIE. >> APPLE PIE.

>> Howie: ALL AMERICAN. >> WE'RE FROM A SMALL TOWN IN

NEW JERSEY. BEING ON "AGT" IS HUGE.

OUR SONG CHOICE IS KEY. I SAID "CARRY ON MY WAYWARD

SON." EVERYONE WAS LIKE, WHAT?

THEY HEARD THE CHORUS AND SAID IT WOULD SOUND AMAZING.

IT'S NOT REALLY OUR VIBE. >> ONCE WE FOUND OUT THE MESSAGE

WAS FINDING YOUR PATH, YOU MIGHT GET PUSHED DOWN, BUT GET BACK

UP, IT WAS PERFECT FOR US. >> WE HAD TO TOTALLY REWORK THE

WHOLE THING. >> WE WERE RUN THAT RISK THAT

PEOPLE ARE LIKE, NO. >> YOU HAVE TO TAKE A CHANCE.

>> THERE HASN'T BEEN A FAMILY BAND SINCE THE OSMONDS.

>> WE WANT A SPOT IN THE FINALS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

* CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON * * THEY'LL BE PEACE WHEN YOU ARE

DONE * * LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REST *

* DON'T YOU CRY NO MORE * **

** * HEY *

* WHOO * * ONCE I ROSE ABOVE THE NOISE

AND CONFUSION JUST TO GET GLIMPSE BEYOND THIS ILLUSION *

* I WAS SOARING EVER HIGHER, BUT I FLEW TOO HIGH *

* THOUGH MY EYES COULD SEE I STILL WAS A BLIND MAN *

* THOUGH MY MIND COULD THINK I STILL WAS A MAD MAN *

* I HEAR THE VOICES WHEN I'M DREAMING *

* I CAN HEAR THEM SAY * * CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON *

* THEY'LL BE PEACE WHEN YOU ARE DONE *

* LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REST * * DON'T YOU CRY *

* DON'T YOU CRY NO MORE * [ BUZZER ]

* CARRY ON * * YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER *

* CARRY ON * * NOTHING EQUALS THIS PLEASURE *

* NOW YOUR LIFE'S NO LONGER EMPTY *

* SURELY HEAVEN WAITS FOR YOU * * CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON *

* THERE WILL BE PEACE WHEN YOU ARE DONE *

* LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REST * * DON'T YOU CRY *

* DON'T YOU CRY * * DON'T YOU CRY NO MORE *

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: SHARPE FAMILY SINGERS!

HEIDI, LET'S START WITH YOU. >> Heidi: I'M JUST SHOCKED THAT

HOWIE JUST BUZZED. >> Terry: ME TOO.

>> Howie: DON'T BE SHOCKED. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

>> Howie: THEY'RE BOOING YOU BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT SHOCKED.

>> Heidi: TO ME YOU'RE LIKE THE "PARTRIDGE FAMILY," BUT MODERN.

YOUR VOICES ARE MIND BLOWINGLY AMAZING.

THE SONG CHOICE WE CAN TALK ABOUT.

THAT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR TALENT.

EVERY ONE OF YOU IS SO TALENTED. >> Howie: YOU DIDN'T FIND IT

CORNY? >> Terry: HOWIE, EXPLAIN

YOURSELF. >> Howie: I GOT TO TELL YOU --

>> Heidi: I THINK IT WAS THE SONG.

>> Howie: IT WAS EVERYTHING. I WATCHED THE ACT BEFORE.

TONIGHT ONLY TWO ACTS WERE GOING THROUGH.

I WENT FROM THE SUPER BOWL TO A CRUISE.

IT WAS LIKE A CRUISE SHIP. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

IT FELT CORNER, OUTDATE. YOU SEEM TO BE AGREEING WITH ME.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE SINGING ROCK 'N ROLL.

YOU SHOULD BE DOING THEATER. >> Terry: SOFIA, DO YOU AGREE

WITH HIM? >> Sofia: I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A

CHURCH SERVICE. >> Simon: IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?

>> Sofia: I LOVE THAT YOU'RE A FAMILY.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME EXCITED ABOUT YOU.

IT SEEMS LIKE SO MUCH FUN. IT SEEMS LIKE WHAT WE NEED.

IT'S NOT MY FAVORITE RENDITION OF THE SONG I HAVE TO SAY.

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: YOU'RE VERY WHOLESOME,

VERY APPLE PIE, CHERRY PIE, PEACH PIE.

FOR ME THE PROBLEM WAS -- I THINK IT WAS A TERRIBLE SONG

CHOICE BECAUSE I THINK YOU ARE, LIKE HOWIE WAS REFERRING TO,

MORE LIKE A MUSICAL THEATER, LIKE A DISNEY, SOMETHING LIKE

THAT. >> Terry: NOTHING WRONG WITH

MUSICAL THEATER. >> Simon: NO.

SOME OF THE VOCALS WERE GOOD. SOME WEREN'T SO GOOD.

I THINK SOME OF THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WERE OVER THE TOP AS

WELL. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

>> Simon: OH, SHUT UP. >> Terry: LISTEN, FIRST OF ALL,

"AGT" IS ALL ABOUT FAMILY. >> Simon: AGREE.

>> Terry: WHAT IS IT LIKE PERFORMING WITH THE PEOPLE

YOU'RE CLOSEST TOO? >> IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.

WE LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO PERFORM

TOGETHER. FAMILY FOREVER.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, EVERYONE.

LISTEN, THERE ARE TWO SPOTS IN THE FINALS.

AND YOU DECIDE WHO GETS THEM. VOTE ON THE "AGT" APP AND GO TO

NBC.COM. YOU CAN DO BOTH, BUT YOU HAVE TO

VOTE. LET'S KEEP IT MOVING.

HERE ARE THREE GYMNASTS FROM UKRAINE WHO HAD EVERY

PERFORMER'S NIGHTMARE AT THE AUDITIONS.

ONE OF THEM HAD A BAD FALL. THEY NEVER GOT TO FENCE THEIR

ROUTINE. BUT AGAINST THE ODDS, THEY

FOUGHT THEIR WAY BACK, AND NOW THEY'RE OUT TO PROVE THEY

DESERVE A SPOT IN THE FINALS. THEY ARE THREE G.

>> IN UKRAINE THINGS ARE REALLY TOUGH FOR EVERYONE.

>> SINCE CHILDHOOD OUR BIG DREAM WAS TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM ON

"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT." IN OUR AUDITION -- IT WAS

DISASTER. AFTER OUR PERFORMANCE, WE WERE

SO EMBARRASSED. >> Howie: IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT

YOU FELL DOWN. WHAT MATTERS IS YOU GOT UP.

>> Sofia: I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE IT IN YOU.

>> WE WERE SHOCKED HOW THE JUDGES GAVE US A SECOND CHANCE.

UNBELIEVABLE. >> WHEN I FELL, I BROKE MY ELBOW

AND MY ELBOW IS REALLY WEAK STILL, BUT WE CANNOT WASTE THIS

TIME. WE DON'T WANT TO BE REMEMBERED

AS THE GIRLS WHO FELL. WE WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS THE

GIRLS WHO ACHIEVED THEIR GOALS. >> TONIGHT WE'RE ENDING OUR

PERFORMANCE WITH THAT LAST TRICK THAT MADE US FALL.

>> OH, MY GOD. I'M SWEATING.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: THE CREW HAS JUST A

FEW MINUTES TO GET EVERYTHING SET.

THREE G'S BIGGEST TEST IS COMING UP.

IT'S ALSO THEIR BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY.

OPPORTUNITY. CAN THEY GRAB A SPOT IN THE

FINALS. PERFORMING LIVE, MAKE SOME NOISE

FOR THREE G. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

** **

** **

** **

[ HEART BEAT ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

** >> Terry: THREE G!

SOFIA? >> Sofia: I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU

GIRLS BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE NERVE WRACKING THE LAST TIME WE SAW

YOU. I WAS ROOTING THE WHOLE TIME FOR

YOU. I LOVE THAT YOU'RE SO

PERSISTENT. YOU DESERVE TONIGHT.

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

>> Simon: THAT WAS HONESTLY, TERRY, INCREDIBLE.

IF YOU HADN'T SEEN, WHICH WE DID THEIR AUDITION, TO SAY IT WAS A

DISASTER WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. IT WAS.

IT KEPT GOING WRONG AGAIN AND AGAIN.

OTHER PEOPLE HONESTLY WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP.

YOU DIDN'T. YOU EVENTUALLY GOT THERE.

THAT WAS AS GOOD AS I'VE EVER SEEN WITH THIS KIND OF ACT.

I MEAN, THAT'S LIKE A TEN. >> Sofia: YES.

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

>> Howie: WE LOVE UKRAINE. AMERICA SUPPORTS UKRAINE.

THERE'S A REASON WHY. YOU PEOPLE SHOW US STRENGTH AND

TALENT AND BEAUTY AND YOU SET THE BAR.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU PLAYED US. YOU SET THE BAR ON YOUR AUDITION

AND YOU FELL. THEN THIS WAS SO MUCH -- YOU

BROUGHT IT TOGETHER. YOU CONQUERED AND YOU RAISED THE

BAR. IT'S SCARY AND WONDERFUL AND

BEAUTIFUL. ONLY TWO CAN GO THROUGH.

GOOD LUCK. >> Terry: HEIDI?

>> Heidi: WHEN YOU'RE GOOD, YOU'RE GOOD.

WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS WHOLE THING WORK ALL THE WAY TO THE

EVENT. I FEEL LIKE A PROUD PARENT THAT

IT WORKED. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

IT WAS SPECTACULAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> Terry: NOW, THREE G, WHAT DID YOU DO TO PREPARE DIFFERENTLY

FOR THESE LIVE SHOWS, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW YOUR AUDITION

WENT? >> EVEN THOUGH I WAS FRACTURED,

WE'VE BEEN PRACTICING EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR MANY HOURS.

>> Terry: I CAN TELL. IT PAID OFF.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, LADIES. LISTEN, YOU HAVE TO VOTE

TONIGHT. YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES AT

NBC.COM AND WITH THE APP. AND YOU CAN DO THAT WITH ALL THE

ACTS. COMING UP, A SELF-TAUGHT DANCER

AND MOM BRINGS HER SKILLS FROM THE LIVING ROOM TO THE BIGGEST

STAGE IN THE WORLD. AND LATER TONIGHT, ONE OF THE

SCARIEST, CRINGIEST, AND MOST JAW-DROPPING DANGER ACTS WE'VE

EVER SEEN WILL BE DOING WHO KNOWS WHAT.

STAY RIGHT THERE. **

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: PEOPLE, WE WANT YOU

DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE SHOW. JOIN THE CONVERSATION AND TELL

US WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ANYTHING.

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM WILL. WILL SAYS, CAN I BUZZ HOWIE

MANDEL WHILE HE'S TALKING? #RUDE.

>> Howie: THE ANSWER IS YES. I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I'M GOING

TO THE FINALS. AS FAR AS YOUR TWEET GOES --

[ BUZZER ] THAT'S FOR WILL.

>> Terry: THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WERE HAPPY FOR THREE

G. WHAT DO YOU THINK, SIMON?

>> Simon: IT WAS SO BAD THEIR AUDITION.

THE FACT IT WAS SO BRILLIANT TONIGHT, THAT WAS AMAZING.

>> Terry: YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS NEXT PERFORMER ONLY STARTED

DANCING TO ENTERTAIN HER DAUGHTER DURING COVID.

AND NOW IN TRUE "AGT" FASHION, SHE'S GOING FROM DANCING IN HER

FRONT ROOM TO DANCING FOR ALL OF AMERICA.

FROM SPARKS, NEVADA, HERE'S ERICA COFFELT.

>> I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER MAKE IT AS A HIP-HOP

DANCER. I'M ALMOST 6 FEET TALL.

I'M A SPEECH PATHOLOGIST AND A MOM.

FOR MY AUDITION, THERE WERE SEVERAL ACTS THAT GOT "X" OFF.

>> Sofia: I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH HOPE FOR YOU.

IT WAS FANTASTIC. >> THAT'S MY DREAM TO BE A

DANCER. IT WAS JUST VALIDATING.

THIS TIME AROUND EVERYBODY KNOWS I CAN DANCE.

TONIGHT I'M REALLY HOPING TO BRING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF ME

INSTEAD OF JUST CHOREO. NOW ON TIKTOK I HAVE 2.5 MILLION

FOLLOWERS. NOW I'M ABOUT TO WALK OUT ON

STAGE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

** **

** >> WHOO!

** [ BUZZER ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ERICA COFFELT!

SIMON, WHAT IS GOING ON, MAN? WHAT?

HOW COULD YOU NOT LIKE THAT? >> Simon: I'M SORRY.

IF IT HAD BEEN A MINUTE, I THINK I WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.

THEN I WAS THINKING AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES, THIS IS ACTUALLY

TERRIBLE. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

I DO APPLAUD YOU BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE POPULAR ON

SOCIAL MEDIA. HAVING SAID THAT, I'VE GOT TO

LOOK AT THIS FROM WILL THIS ACT HEADLINE VEGAS?

THE ANSWER I DON'T BELIEVE IS YES.

IT'S NO. >> Howie: THINK ABOUT THIS,

SIMON, WHAT IF SHE WENT ON THE ROAD WITH THE SHARPE FAMILY?

SHE WAS THE SHARPE FAMILY'S BACK-UP DANCER.

>> Simon: ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. >> Heidi: I LIKE ERICA.

I LIKE ERICA BECAUSE ERICA IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL DANCER.

SHE'S A MOM. SHE LEARNED THIS ALL BY HERSELF.

ALSO, I FEEL LIKE FROM THE FIRST AUDITION TO THIS TODAY YOU

STEPPED IT UP. >> THANK YOU.

>> Heidi: NOW, HOW CAN YOU STEP IT UP EVEN FURTHER TO MAKE IT A

MILLION DOLLAR ACT? I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE CLIMBING THE

LADDER. IS IT IMPROVED FROM LAST TIME?

YES. >> Terry: SOFIA?

>> Sofia: ERICA, I THINK NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT, YOU

ALREADY WON. >> THANK YOU.

>> Simon: HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT?

>> Sofia: SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S HAVING THE BEST TIME OF HER

LIFE. SHE HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THIS

OPPORTUNITY. LOOK AT ALL THE FOLLOWERS SHE

HAS NOW. I LOVE YOU.

I THINK YOU'RE GREAT. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.

>> Terry: SIMON HIMSELF SAID TWO MINUTES CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

IT'S MORE THAN ONE MINUTE. YOU GET TWO.

TAKE 'EM. WHAT DO YOU HOPE AMERICA TAKES

AWAY FROM YOUR PERFORMANCE TONIGHT?

>> I HOPE THEY JUST TAKE THIS MOMENT AS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY

CAN DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR LIFE THEY NEVER THOUGHT THEY COULD

DO, NEVER HAD THE COURAGE TO DO. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK, ERICA.

VOTES ARE WHAT COUNT TONIGHT. VOTE AT NBC.COM OR USE THE

"AGT" APP. VOTES ARE THE ONLY WAY ANY OF

THE ACTS CAN MAKE IT TO THE FINALS.

AFTER THE BREAK, THIS 12-YEAR-OLD SINGER WHO HAS COME

ALL THE WAY FROM ENGLAND HAS JUST TWO MINUTES TO MAKE IT ALL

THE WAY TO THE FINALS. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: THIS 12-YEAR-OLD FROM ENGLAND CAME TO AMERICA WITH ONE

GOAL -- TO AUDITION IN FRONT OF SIMON COWELL BECAUSE SIMON AND

"AGT" MAKE STARS. AND IT PAID OFF BECAUSE HE'S

HERE TONIGHT, LIVE, SINGING FOR A SPOT IN THE FINALS.

FROM STOCKPORT, UK, HE'S ALFIE ANDREW.

>> WHEN I DID THE AUDITION, I WAS PRETTY NERVOUS.

SIMON HAD A LOOK ON HIS FACE. THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE I

CONCENTRATED ON HIM. I WAS, LIKE, REALLY RELIEVED.

>> Simon: YOU HAVE A VERY DISTINCTIVE VOICE AND YOU'RE SO

COOL. >> I WAS SHOCKED HE ACTUALLY

SAID THAT TO ME BECAUSE HE'S HARD TO IMPRESS.

>> Sofia: TWINNING. >> SIMON CREATED ONE DIRECTION

AND HARRY STYLES IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SINGERS.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE BIGGER THAN HARRY STYLES, BUT HARRY STYLES

IS SO BIG. MY BIGGEST DREAM IS TO TRAVEL

AROUND THE WORLD DOING TOURS AND CONCERTS.

SIMON SAID I HAVE A DISTINCT VOICE.

TONIGHT I'LL BE SINGING A ONE DIRECTION SONG, BUT WITH A TWIST

TO MAKE IT MY OWN. I'M NERVOUS.

BUT I HOPE I CAN SHOW AMERICA AND SIMON THAT I CAN BE A STAR.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] * I FIGURED IT OUT *

* I FIGURED IT OUT * * SECONDS AND HOURS *

* MAYBE WE HAD TO TAKE SOME TIME *

* I KNOW HOW WE GO FROM WRONG AND RIGHT *

* SILENCE AND SOUND * * DO THEY EVER HOLD EACH OTHER

TIGHT * * LIKE US *

* DO THEY EVER FIGHT * * LIKE US *

* YOU AND I WE DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THEM *

* WE CAN MAKE IT TIL THE END * * NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN YOU

AND I * * NOT EVEN THE STARS ABOVE *

* CAN SEPARATE THE TWO OF US * * NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN YOU

AND I * * WE FIGURED IT OUT *

* WE SAW THE MISTAKES * * THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR COMMON

GROUND * * I SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE *

* I SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT *

* NEVER TOGETHER * * THEY SEE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT

LIGHT * * LIKE US *

* DID THEY EVER TRY * * LIKE US *

* YOU AND I * * NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN *

* YOU AND I * * NOT EVER THE STARS ABOVE *

* CAN SEPARATE THE TWO OF US * * NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN YOU

AND I * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: ALFIE ANDREWS! HOWIE?

>> Howie: I'LL MAKE IT SHORT AND SWEET.

FIVE WORDS. BEST ACT OF THE NIGHT.

>> Terry: ANY WORDS FROM YOU, HEIDI?

>> Heidi: YOU REMIND ME OF ADELE WHEN YOU SING.

YOUR VOICE IS SO LARGE. IT HAS SUCH RANGE AND

PERSONALITY. I'M SURE ALL OF YOU IN THE BACK

SEATS HEARD IT. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: ALFIE, IT'S SO

IMPRESSIVE THAT A 12-YEAR-OLD CAN BE SO CONFIDENT, SING SO

GOOD. I MEAN, I REALLY ENJOYED IT

TONIGHT. YOUR VOICE IS SPECTACULAR.

NOT MY FAVORITE SONG, BUT YOUR VOICE MADE IT WORK.

>> Terry: SIMON, ALFIE WANTED TO IMPRESS YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> Simon: IT'S NOT ABOUT

IMPRESSING ME. IT'S ABOUT IMPRESSING EVERYONE

OBVIOUSLY. YOU KNOW, I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT

FOR YOU. 12 YEARS OLD, TO COME FROM THE

UK ON THIS SHOW. YOU CHOSE THIS ICONIC ONE

DIRECTION SONG. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,

ALFIE. I LIKED YOU IN THE AUDITION.

I LOVED YOU TONIGHT. I DON'T THINK IT WAS PERFECT,

BUT THERE WERE MOMENTS HONESTLY WHERE I GOT GOOSE BUMPS BECAUSE

I THOUGHT YOU REALLY GOT SOMETHING.

YOU'VE GOT A GREAT PERSONALITY. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIKE YOU.

YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF, I BELIEVE, A REAL SHOT OF MAKING

IT THROUGH TO THE FINALS. I REALLY DO.

>> Terry: ALFIE, YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE TALENT.

WHO IS YOUR INSPIRATION? >> MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION IS

HARRY STYLES, OLIVIA RODRIGO. >> Terry: I LOVE THEM TOO.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, ALFIE. LISTEN, MAKE THE ACTS' DREAMS

COME TRUE WITH YOUR VOTES AT NBC.COM OR ON THE "AGT" APP.

ONLY TWO CAN GO INTO THE FINALS. YOU CAN CHANGE LIVES TONIGHT.

AFTER THE BREAK, AHREN BELISLE, ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE COMEDIANS

EVER TO TAKE THE "AGT" STAGE, IS GOING TO UNLEASH HIS COMEDY.

AND LATER, RYLAND, ONE OF THE YOUNGEST AND GREATEST MAGICIANS

WE'VE EVER SEEN, WILL BE BLOWING YOUR MINDS.

YOUR MINDS. STAY RIGHT THERE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: OUR NEXT ACT IS A

COMEDIAN. HE'S FROM ONTARIO, CANADA.

HE'S NONVERBAL, BUT HE HAS A UNIQUE WAY OF GETTING HIS COMEDY

ACROSS, AND HE KILLED IT AT THE AUDITIONS.

HERE'S AHREN BELISLE. >> I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ALL

THINKING. WHO ORDERED STEPHEN HAWKING OFF

WISH.COM? >> PEOPLE STOP ME ON THE STREET

NOW AND HONK AND TELL ME I'M GREAT.

>> WHAT WAS THAT? >> TYPO.

>> TELL ME I'M GREAT. I'VE BEEN HEADLINING SHOWS IN

CANADA. I'M STARTING A U.S. TOUR.

>> WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR YOUR LIVE PERFORMANCE?

>> I'M GOING TO GO STREAKING. I'VE BEEN TIGHTENING MY SET,

CREATING. THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THE NEXT

JOKE MORE FUNNY THAN THE LAST. A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL ME LUCKY

BECAUSE ALL I DO IS HIT A BUTTON.

NO. SO MANY THINGS CAN GO WRONG.

IT'S EASY TO USE THE WRONG VOICE.

IF THE BLUETOOTH CUTS OUT, THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE.

SOFIA SAID -- >> Sofia: I HOPE YOU'RE THE

FIRST COMEDIAN TO WIN "AGT." >> I WANT TO SPEND EVERY DAY

MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH. * GO SHORTY *

* IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY * [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> PEOPLE OFTEN THINK MY DISABILITY DEFINES MY EXISTENCE.

THEY SAY YOU HAVE CEREBRAL PALSY.

I KNOW ANOTHER GUY WITH CEREBRAL PALSY.

YOU SHOULD BE FRIENDS. THEY DON'T LIKE IT WHEN I SAY

YOU'RE AN IDIOT. I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS AN

IDIOT. YOU SHOULD BE BEST FRIENDS.

YOU DON'T GET THAT WITH ANY OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

I'VE NEVER HEARD SOMEONE SAY, OH, YOU HAVE HERPES.

MY BROTHER HAS HERPES. YOU SHOULD BE BEST FRIENDS.

I HAVE CEREBRAL PALSY. IT DOESN'T AFFECT INTELLIGENCE

OR HEARING. IN FACT, THE MOST INTERESTING

SYMPTOM IS HOW IT MAKES OTHER PEOPLE FREAKING STUPID.

FOR EXAMPLE, PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND START GESTURING AT ME

YELLING REAL SLOW LIKE. HELLO.

CAN I PET YOUR DOGGY? I'M, LIKE, OH, MY, ARE YOU OKAY?

ARE YOU HAVING A STROKE? DO YOU NEED ME TO CALL 911?

OH, YOU'RE JUST AN IDIOT. I GUESS WE DON'T NEED AN

AMBULANCE FOR THAT. PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK WHY I NEED A

SERVICE DOG. I DON'T.

YOU GOT ME. I'M FAKING IT.

HE HAS TWO PRIMARY SERVICES. FIRST, GETS MY BEER FOR ME.

>> Sofia: OH, I LOVE YOU. >> GOOD BOY.

NOW, NUMBER TWO, FETCH ME A GIRLFRIEND.

YOU'RE RUINING MY SET, YOU JERK. GO FETCH SOFIA VIAGRA.

OH, NO. DAMN AUTO CORRECT.

I MEANT SOFIA VERGARA. WE ARE ALMOST DONE.

REMEMBER, IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR ME, HE WON'T EAT TONIGHT.

I'M JUST KIDDING. OF COURSE HE'LL EAT TONIGHT.

HE'S THE ONE THAT MAKES US DINNER.

OKAY. MAKE FUNNY JOKES, CHECK.

HIT ON SOFIA, CHECK. BROUGHT DOG OUT FOR BONUS VOTES,

CHECK. PERFECT.

THAT'S MY TIME. LOVE YOU ALL.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: AHREN BELISLE.

HEIDI? >> Heidi: I LOVE HOW YOU FIGURE

IT OUT, YOUR DREAM TO BECOME A COMEDIAN.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO SEE YOU UP THERE BEING SO HAPPY AND MAKING

ALL OF US LAUGH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING

HERE. >> Terry: SOFIA?

>> Sofia: WELL, I THINK THIS -- I LOVE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT LIFE.

I LOVE THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU SO FUNNY, THAT YOU MAKE FUN OF

YOURSELF. YOU'RE SO, LIKE, HAPPY WITH

YOURSELF. >> Heidi: HAS ANYONE EVER CALLED

YOU SOFIA VIAGRA? >> Sofia: NO, BUT I'M SINGLE.

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: WELL, YOU ARE

NATURALLY FUNNY. I MEAN, JUST THAT.

I MEAN IF YOU'RE A COMEDIAN THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

INTERESTINGLY, UNLIKE OTHER ACTS TONIGHT, I ACTUALLY WANTED IT TO

GO ON LONGER. MY FAVORITE BIT WAS WHEN THE

DOG -- EVEN THE DOG'S FACE WHEN HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU, EVEN THE

DOG'S FUNNY. HE WAS JUST GIVING YOU THIS

LOOK, LIKE, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. THAT WAS GOOD.

>> Sofia: BRAVO. >> Terry: HOWIE, YOU WERE ON

YOUR FEET. >> Howie: I'M ON MY FEET.

I LOVE THIS GUY. I AGREE WITH SOFIA.

IF ANYONE DESERVES TO GO ON, IT'S YOU.

YOUR TIMING IS GREAT. YOUR PERSONALITY IS GREAT.

I'VE BEEN A FAN OF YOURS SINCE YOU WERE THERE.

I LOVE WHEN YOU'RE DIRTY. WE CAN'T SEE IT HERE, BUT YOU'RE

BRILLIANT. >> Terry: AHREN, WHY SHOULD

AMERICA VOTE FOR YOU? >> WELL, I'M COMPETING WITH 65

HAND DANCERS AND A ROCK BAND AND I'M EQUIPPED WITH NOTHING BUT A

PHONE AND A THUMB. >> Terry: YOU'RE RIGHT.

GOOD LUCK, AHREN. REMEMBER, VOTE, VOTE, AND VOTE

AGAIN TONIGHT. ONLY TWO ACTS WILL GO THROUGH.

MAKE SURE IT'S THE TWO YOU WANT. **

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: COMING UP --

>> Simon: YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.

FOUR YESES. **

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: THIS FROM "AGT"

SOCIALS, TEDDY SAYS, IF AHREN GETS A DATE WITH SOFIA, I'M

GETTING A DOG. HOWIE, ARE YOU GETTING ANY LOVE

ON SOCIAL? >> Howie: LAST SHOW WAS TOO

SOON. PERFECT TIMING NOW.

NICKY, HEY TERRY CREWS, WHAT COLOR IS YOUR SUIT, WASABI,

GUACAMOLE OR DILL PICKLE? >> Terry: I'M GOING WASABI

BECAUSE IT'S HOT. AT THE AUDITIONS, HER NERVES

TOOK OVER AND SIMON STOPPED HER. THEN HE GAVE HER A SECOND

CHANCE. AND, MAN, DID SHE NAIL IT.

FROM STATESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, HERE'S DANI

>> I PLAY COVER SONGS AROUND

NORTH CAROLINA. THE BIG DREAM FOR ME IS TO PLAY

MY ORIGINAL MUSIC. I WANTED TO BE ON "AMERICA'S GOT

TALENT." I STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT SO

MUCH AND WENT FOR IT. * DOWN IN THE BAY *

>> Simon: I LOVE YOUR SONGS. I THINK YOU'RE A GREAT WRITER.

>> WHEN SIMON MADE THOSE COMMENTS, IT WAS LIKE A DREAM.

I WAS SO OVERWHELMED. IT WAS SPECIAL.

IT WAS CONFIRMATION THAT IT'S WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.

SINCE MY AUDITION, PEOPLE ARE SAYING I WANT TO BOOK YOU TO

PLAY YOUR SONGS. IT'S BEEN LIFE CHANGING.

I CHOSE TO DO AN ORIGINAL BECAUSE EVERY WORD I SING I WANT

IT TO MEAN SOMETHING. IT'S TAKING A RISK BECAUSE IT'S

SOMETHING PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE.

I FEEL EXTREMELY CONFIDENT ABOUT THE SONG CHOICE.

IT'S CALLED "THE TRUTH." IT'S A SONG OF NOT LISTENING TO

THE NAY SAYERS WHEN THEY SAY YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING.

IT'S A FREEDOM SONG. THIS IS "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT"

SO IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: DANI KERR!

SOFIA? >> Sofia: DANI, I LOVE YOUR

SONG. I LOVE THAT YOU STAYED TRUE TO

YOURSELF. I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW,

THE NERVE TO COME ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS THAT IS SO IMPORTANT

WITH YOUR OWN SONG. I LOVE IT.

I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC AND I THINK YOUR VOICE IS PERFECT.

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: DANI, I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOUR VOICE. I QUITE LIKED THE SONG.

HOWEVER, YOU KNOW WHAT, FOR ME -- I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I

DIDN'T LIKE. I FELT YOU PERFORMED IT A LITTLE

BIT LIKE YOU WERE IN A BAR. YOU WERE SITTING AROUND EATING.

[AUDIENCE BOOS] I DIDN'T FEEL -- YOU COULD HAVE

GIVEN US A MOMENT RIGHT THERE WITH JUST YOU, A SPOTLIGHT,

MAYBE ACAPELA. >> Howie: I FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN

THE LIVES AND ONLY TWO ARE GOING THROUGH.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO RAISE THE BAR. I LIKED YOUR LAST SONG BETTER.

I'VE HEARD TWO THINGS FROM YOU. YOUR AUDITION FOR ME WAS FAR

BETTER. MAYBE I JUST DIDN'T CONNECT TO

THE SONG. THAT IS THE TRUTH FOR ME.

>> Terry: HEIDI? >> Heidi: YOU'RE A GREAT SINGER.

YOU HAVE A DISTINCTIVE VOICE. I LOVE THE BANGS.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU. >> Terry: DANI FROM STATESVILLE,

NORTH CAROLINA, HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?

>> I FEEL SO THANKFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I FEEL THANKFUL FOR STATESVILLE AND MY LOCAL TOWN FOR BEING THE

REASON I'M HERE. >> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

DANI. IF YOU VOTE, YOUR FAVORITES

COULD MAKE THE FINALS. IF YOU DON'T VOTE, THEY MIGHT

NOT. DO YOU WANT TO RISK IT?

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

STILL TO COME, A 10-YEAR-OLD MAGICIAN.

HE MIGHT BE YOUNG, BUT HE'S ON THE VERGE OF MAYBE WINNING A

SPOT IN THE FINALS. HE IS THAT GOOD.

AND LATER, GET YOUR METAL ON. ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS

WE HAVE EVER SEEN WILL BE TEARING UP THE STAGE.

IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME. **

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: TOMORROW NIGHT, TWO ACTS WILL MAKE IT TO THE FINALS,

BUT NINE WON'T. IT'LL ALL BE DOWN TO HOW YOU

VOTE TONIGHT. AND I'VE GOT A NAME FOR YOU.

SHIN LIM. YES.

HE'S ONE OF THE GREATEST MAGICIANS -- NOT JUST TO HAVE

WON "AGT" -- HE'S ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

THAT'S RESULTS, FINALISTS, AND SHIN LIM, TOMORROW NIGHT AT

8:00. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

AND SPEAKING OF GREAT MAGICIANS, THIS 10-YEAR-OLD KILLED IT AT

THE AUDITIONS. BUT FINDING OUT HE MADE IT TO

THE LIVE SHOWS WAS TRULY A LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT.

FROM CANNOCK, ENGLAND, HERE IS RYLAND.

>> WHEN I GOT MY LETTER INVITING ME TO THE LIVE SHOWS, I FELT

LIKE HARRY POTTER. MY FAVORITE MAGICIAN ON "AGT" IS

SHIN LIM. I'VE GOT SOMETHING DIFFERENT

BECAUSE I'M A KID. >> Simon: YOU HAVE GIVEN ME

ALMOST MY VOICE BACK, WHICH MEANS YOU REALLY HAVE MAGIC

POWERS. >> I FELT REALLY HAPPY BECAUSE I

WAS THE ACT THAT GAVE HIM HIS VOICE BACK.

I'M BRINGING LOTS OF TOYS, BUT MAINLY IT'S ABOUT ME AND MY DAD.

I BROUGHT MY DAD WITH ME ALL THE WAY FROM ENGLAND.

MY DAD HAS SHARED HIS MAGICAL ABILITY WITH ME.

IT'S NERVE WRACKING, BUT I'VE BEEN STUDYING ALL THE WINNING

"AGT" MAGICIANS. I KNOW I CAN BE THE NEXT

MAGICIAN TO WIN "AGT." TONIGHT I'LL USE MY MAGIC POWERS

TO BLOW PEOPLE'S MINDS. HAVING MY DAD HERE, I WANT TO

SHOW HIM I CAN DO IT REALLY WELL AND MAKE ONE OF THE TWO SPOTS IN

THE FINALS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> HI, JUDGES. THE FOUR OF YOU HAVE SOMETHING

IN COMMON. YOU'RE ALL PARENTS.

MY DAD IS MY BEST FRIEND. TONIGHT I'M GOING TO USE MY

MAGIC POWERS TO SHOW YOU THAT THE BOND BETWEEN FATHER AND SON

IS REALLY MAGICAL. TO DO THAT I NEED THE HELP FROM

MY FRIENDS. MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO THROW

BEACH BALLS INTO THE AUDIENCE. THEY'RE GOING TO BOUNCE THOSE

BALLS ALL AROUND THE THEATER. SIMON, YOU'RE THE BOSS.

YOU'RE IN CHARGE. WHEN SIMON SAYS STOP, IF YOU'VE

GOT A BEACH BALL, HOLD ON TO IT. YOU GUYS READY?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] LET'S GO.

GO, GO, GO, GO. BOUNCE THOSE BALLS ALL AROUND

THE THEATER. GO, GO, GO.

>> Simon: STOP! >> IF YOU'VE GOT A BEACH BALL,

STAND UP. IF YOU'VE GOT A BEACH BALL,

STAND UP. LAST NIGHT I SNUCK INTO THE

THEATER AND PUT AN EMBLEM ON EVERYBODY'S SEAT.

COULD YOU PLEASE TAKE OUT YOUR ENVELOPE, BUT DON'T OPEN IT YET.

IF YOU ENDED UP WITH A BEACH BALL, STAY STANDING AND WE'LL

COME COLLECT YOUR ENVELOPES. EVERYONE ELSE HOLD ON TO YOURS

FOR NOW. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SOMETHING

ME AND MY DAD ALWAYS DO. WE HAVE BRICK BUILDING

COMPETITIONS. I ALWAYS WIN BECAUSE I CHEAT.

I USE MAGIC. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW.

HEIDI, HERE'S SOME CARDS. YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE ALL

DIFFERENT. >> Heidi: YEAH, ALL DIFFERENT.

>> COULD YOU PLEASE TOUCH ONE, ANY ONE?

JUST TOUCH. YOU SURE?

>> Heidi: YEAH. >> DON'T LET ME SEE, BUT YOU CAN

SHOW EVERYONE ELSE. THANKS, HEIDI.

THIS BOX HAS BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME.

THERE'S JUST SOME BRICKS. FOR THE FIRST TIME, HEIDI, COULD

YOU SHOW THE CARD YOU PICKED. >> Heidi: COME AGAIN?

>> Simon: WHAT WAS ON THE CARD? >> THE HELICOPTER.

THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES. EVERYONE SHOUT HELICOPTER AS

LOUD AS YOU CAN ON THE COUNT OF THREE.

ONE, TWO, THREE. >> All: HELICOPTER.

>> I HAVE A HELICOPTER. THAT WAS AMAZING.

WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE IS EVEN BETTER.

IF YOU HAVE YOUR ENVELOPE, TAKE IT OUT AND HOLD IT HIGH.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT.

THEY'RE BUILDINGS I'VE BEEN TO WITH MY DAD.

THANKS, GUYS. YOU CAN PUT THEM DOWN.

MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO JOIN ME ON STAGE SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE

PICTURES YOU CHOSE, SIMON. THE PICTURES ARE MORE THAN JUST

MEMORIES. THEY'RE SHOWING THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN US IS MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

REMEMBER, THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS. NINE BALLS BOUNCING AROUND THE

THEATER. SIMON, YOU SELECTED THESE NINE

PHOTOS. I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT ALL

OF THE PICTURES COMBINE TO SHOW YOU A SNAPSHOT OF THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN ME AND MY DAD. WATCH THIS.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] MY NAME IS RYLAND.

THESE ARE MY FRIENDS. THAT IS MY DAD.

THE REAL BOND IS THE BOND BETWEEN EVERY PARENT IN THE

WORLD AND THEIR CHILDREN. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: RYLAND, AND HIS DAD.

SIMON? HIS FATHER IS EXCITED.

>> Simon: I -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

I'M WATCHING THE WHOLE THING AROUND ME TO SEE IF IT WAS REAL

MAGIC. IT WAS.

I MEAN, THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. INCREDIBLE.

HOW OLD ARE YOU? >> 10.

>> Simon: UNBELIEVABLE. >> Terry: HOWIE?

>> Howie: LISTEN, IT WAS AMAZING.

NOBODY WAS MORE EXCITED THAN YOUR FATHER.

WHY ARE YOU -- HE LOVES YOU. >> I LOVE YOU TOO.

>> Howie: HE LOVES YOU. MAYBE AMERICA LOVES YOU.

HOPEFULLY AMERICA VOTES FOR YOU. >> Terry: HEIDI?

>> Heidi: YOU ARE LIKE A LITTLE HARRY POTTER.

MY FAVORITE PART IS THAT YOU INCORPORATED THE LOVE OF YOUR

DAD AND MADE IT A PART OF YOUR MAGIC.

I ALSO LOVE HOW YOU SAY MY NAME. HEIDI.

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: RYLAND, YOU ARE SO

MUCH MORE CONFIDENT TONIGHT THAN IN THE AUDITION.

THAT WAS SPECTACULAR. SO MUCH FUN.

IT WENT SUPER FAST. IT WAS FLOWING.

I THINK THAT YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN PRACTICING A LOT.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. I HOPE THEY VOTE FOR YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> Terry: RYLAND, HOW DOES IT

FEEL TO MAKE YOUR DAD SO PROUD TONIGHT?

>> IT MAKES ME FEEL INCREDIBLE, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

>> Terry: GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, RYLAND.

REMEMBER, AMERICA, ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHO MAKES THE FINALS.

AND IT'S YOUR VOTES THAT WILL DO THE TALKING.

SO HOWEVER YOU DO IT, VOTE. COMING UP, THIS DANGER ACT IS

GOING TO BE DOING THINGS WHICH DEFY BELIEF, LOGIC, AND A LOT OF

OTHER THINGS TOO, PROBABLY. STAY RIGHT THERE.

** [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Terry: THE AMAZING "'AGT' PRESENTS SUPERSTARS LIVE" SHOW

IS HAPPENING NOW AT LUXOR LAS VEGAS, AND WHOEVER WINS THIS

SEASON WILL STAR IN THAT SHOW ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE GREATEST

"AGT" ACTS OF ALL TIME. FOR TICKETS, GO TO NBC.COM/AGT.

THEY'RE YOUR ACTS, SO GO SEE THEM.

WHEN THIS DANGER ACT FIRST AUDITIONED, HOWIE DID THIS.

SOFIA COULDN'T WATCH. HEIDI HID DOWN BEHIND THE DESK.

AND SIMON'S FACE WAS -- BUT PEOPLE EITHER LOVE OR HATE

THIS KIND OF ACT, AND THE JUDGES ALL PUT HIM THROUGH.

SO BRACE YOURSELVES, AND DO NOT TRY ANYTHING YOU SEE AT HOME.

FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, HERE'S ANDREW STANTON.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE ARE

CHEERING AND HOOTING AND HOLLERING FOR WHAT I DO.

I THOUGHT IT WAS FUN WATCHING SIMON DO THIS.

SINCE MY FIRST AUDITION I'VE BEEN TOURING THE COUNTRY.

WHEN THE KIDS RECOGNIZE ME, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE THE SCARY GUY OR THE

DANGER MAN. MOST PEOPLE EXPECT ME TO BE

ROUGHER THAN I AM. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE CRAZY

WEIRD STUFF, BUT I ALSO LIKE PETTING KITTY CATS.

SIMON WILL SEE I STEPPED UP MY PERFORMANCE.

>> Simon: IF ANYTHING, THE ACT WAS TOO SHORT.

>> IT WAS TOO SHORT. I'LL DO HAVING TO HAVE A VEGAS

SHOW. I'M ADDING SOME MORE STUFF IN.

PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING ME TO BE SHOCKING, BUT I WANT TO SHOW

THEM THE OTHER ASPECTS OF WHAT I DO.

I WANT IT TO BE ENTERTAINING. I WANT IT TO BE FUN.

THERE ARE THINGS I PERSONALLY AM STEPPING UP.

I HOPE MORE PEOPLE CAN WATCH WHAT I DO THIS TIME.

IF YOU HAVE A HARD TIME WATCHING WHAT I DO, WATCH YOUR FRIENDS.

IT WILL BE JUST AS ENTERTAINING. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Terry: ANDREW STANTON, ARE

YOU OKAY? ARE YOU OKAY?

ALL RIGHT. SIMON?

>> Howie: HE NEEDS A MEDIC. >> Terry: DO YOU NEED A MEDIC?

>> Simon: DID YOU HURT YOURSELF? YOU HAVE.

OKAY. I'LL MAKE THIS QUICK.

THAT WAS DISGUSTING, BUT BRILLIANTLY DISGUSTING AND I

THINK ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTS TONIGHT.

>> Terry: YES. >> THANK YOU.

>> Simon: YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.

I LOVE ACTS LIKE THIS. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS

ACT. YOU'VE REALLY HURT YOURSELF.

I'M SORRY. WE SHOULD SPEED THIS UP.

>> Howie: I'LL TELL YOU USUALLY WHEN YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT,

THEY'RE THERE TO MAKE IT EASIER. SHE'S NOT HELPING YOU.

SHE MAKES CARRY ON HORRIBLE. >> Simon: AND THE SMILING.

>> Howie: AND THE SMILING. YOU CAN'T SAY YOU'RE OKAY WHEN

YOU CAN'T GET UP RIGHT AWAY. >> Terry: HEIDI?

>> Heidi: I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU SMILING.

IT'S VERY EXCITING IN A STRANGE WAY.

WE DON'T SEE THIS OFTEN. THERE AREN'T MANY PEOPLE WHO DO

WHAT YOU DO. IT'S INCREDIBLE.

YOU HAVE THIS AMAZING LOOK ABOUT YOU.

YOU HAVE A VERY DISTINCTIVE LOOK.

>> Terry: SOFIA? >> Sofia: IT WAS DISTURBING AND

FASCINATING. I HATE MYSELF FOR LIKING YOU.

>> Simon: YOU SAY DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.

YOU SHOULDN'T TRY THIS ANYWHERE. >> Sofia: WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

>> Terry: DO NOT TRY THIS ANYWHERE.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, ANDREW. IS ANDREW GOING TO BE ONE OF THE

TWO ACTS TO MAKE THE FINALS? THAT'S UP TO YOU.

VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL 7:00 A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW, SO GO GET

BUSY. >> Terry: COMING UP --

>> Heidi: YOUR VOICE WAS INCREDIBLE.

>> Simon: I COULD SEE THIS IN VEGAS.

BRILLIANT. >> Howie: IT BLEW ME AWAY.

>> Howie: IT BLEW ME AWAY. >> Terry: YOU JUST GOT THE

MISSION, TO TEACH THE WAYS OF HEAVY METAL.

THEY ALREADY HAVE A FOLLOWING BUT THEY'VE COME ON "AGT" TO

REACH A WHOLE NEW AUDIENCE. FROM HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, IT'S

STEEL PANTHER. >> Simon: I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT

FOR YOU. A LOT OF YOUR FRIENDS PROBABLY

SAID YOU SHOULDN'T COME ON A SHOW LIKE THIS.

THAT AUDITION WAS BRILLIANT. >> BEING ON "AGT" HAS BEEN A

KILLER EXPERIENCE. WE'RE TRYING TO BEAT THE BEST

PERFORMERS BY DOING THE BEST PERFORMANCE WE'VE EVER DONE.

>> WE'RE GOING TO PLAY ONE OF OUR GREATEST SONGS EVER "DEATH

TO ALL THE METAL." >> IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST SONGS

WE RECORDED. TO PLAY IT ON "AMERICA'S GOT

TALENT" WE HAD TO EDIT THE LYRICS.

I'VE BEEN SINGING THIS SONG FOR A LONG TIME AND I HAVE TO

RETRAIN MY BRAIN. >> IT'S NOT EASY TO RETRAIN THIS

BRAIN. >> IT'S ALL [ BLEEP ].

>> WE'RE KNOWN TO A CERTAIN DEGREE, BUT WE WANT TO BE KNOWN

KNOWN. >> THE DREAM IS TO BECOME THE

BIGGEST HEAVY METAL BAND THAT EVER LIVED.

>> WE'RE ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."

I LOVE HOW YOU ROCK THE STAGE. YOU SOUND SO AMAZING.

I LOVE THE WAY YOU LOOK. I LOVE THE WAY YOU HAVE YOUR

SPANDEX ON, THE LONG HAIR. YOU SOUNDED AMAZING, ESPECIALLY

THAT HIGH NOTE. WELL DONE!

I THINK AMERICA IS GOING TO LOVE YOU AND YOU DO DESERVE TO BE

HERE. >> WHOO!

>> Terry: SIMON? >> Simon: WELL, I DIDN'T LIKE

IT. [AUDIENCE BOOS]

I LOVED IT. >> Terry: HE LOVED IT.

YOU'VE DONE THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND IT SHOWS, BUT YOU DON'T TAKE

YOURSELF SERIOUSLY. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE.

THEY'RE LIKE KISS. FOR ME -- I'M GOING TO SAY THIS.

THEY'RE FROM FRANCE, AND IT'S THE BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL ACT

WE'VE EVER HAD ON "AGT." THEY HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE

AUDITION. IT'S MURMURATION.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Howie: IT BLEW ME AWAY.

I JUST WANTED TO -- I DON'T KNOW.

>> IT WAS LIKE -- >> WE COME FROM A SMALL TOWN IN

FRANCE TO CHASE THE AMERICAN DREAM.

>> AT LOVE OF OUR DANCERS ARE STUDENTS AND THEY TRY TO LEARN

MORE EVERY DAY. >> AFTER WE GOT THE GOLDEN

BUZZER, I GOT A LOT OF PRESSURE, BUT I LOVE PRESSURE.

THE FIRST ONE WAS SIMPLE, JUST THE ARMS.

FOR THIS ONE I WANTED TO SHOW A NEW UNIVERSE.

IT'S GOING TO BE HARDER, ALL THE DETAILS.
