America's Got Talent (2006–…): Season 13, Episode 15 - Live Quarterfinals 2 - full transcript
Some setup- Simon's comment that the end goal is Vegas is how I view every act from the get-go. So straight singers, group dance, laser lights, and such are simply too vanilla. Listening to the judges talk about Noah I think singers that do their own songs have a better chance with me because if they simply sing another's song, why not enjoy the original one? Are there singers in Vegas, yes; but I prefer variety type acts for the show.It sure seems like Mel was hunting for a date especially with Da Republik or with Yumbo Dump. Simon actually sounded off she was available as if her dress didn't say it 1st.I'm putting * for those that I think should go thru. "X" means definite toss.*Makayla Phillips - Gold Buzzer by Heidi I think - As I've said before I dislike singing acts so I was definitely skewed against her. But for whatever reason I truly enjoyed it. Worth a $1M, not yet sold, but if she follows Mel and finds the right songs and pulls it into her own she might be the first straight up singer I'd go for ever.Da Republik - I think I've finally figured out where these type of acts fall. Grease but without ONJ/Travolta. I hated the music and feel like it's simply a dressed up half-time show. Nothing against them as they all are talented but not a $1M act imo.*Noah Gutherie - Again I hate plain singers, and I was not sold on him but I liked the song which he wrote so I think they gave him some uniqueness. X Yumbo Dump- Wait, weren't the judges that buzzed the same ones that put them thru? Then two do a 180. I truly believe they only put these on the live show so as to fill out multiple live shows episodes and know these won't make it. Otherwise they are INSANE.X Samuel Comroe - (Wish they would have had the backdrop working and not sure if they impacted). Haven't felt he was one of the strongest comics but had a bit of a niche. I want to like him especially with the dog jokes but agree with Heidi and don't feel like this was a decent set.Voices of Hope - Golden Buzzer, not sure by who - OK, did they do well - yes. Do I think they're worth a $1M, sorry but no. They are definitely uplifting but simply not what I see as a Vegas act.*Cat Act - I love all animal acts so I allow a much lower bar especially if you've ever tried to train an animal and in this case especially cats. Was this a great act, no, but I think should still go thru simply because they have a far better chance of having a huge step up.Singer Grace - OK, this is an example of my singer pet peeve. Was she good - yes but not special or unique.X The Sacred Nut - Ok, another act I believe they just put thru so as to have an act that can lose. I think in this case the girl is simply to whacked. If she came back to Earth a bit, it might have a better chance.X Quin and Misha - Somebody's golden buzzer - not sure if just me but had video problems. Can this old/young lady kill me dancing. I would have said before yes, but this time it seemed to have her just being carried around by the 35 yo who definitely could kill me. Sadly I see them going home.Front Pics - Not precisely sure what I watched. I think it reminds me of something when at Disney or Epcot. It simply may be that it's something that must be seen in person.*Due Trans - Heidi was right that defintely one of the best acts of the night.Definitely not strongest live show.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

Tyra: You win agt, you change
your life.
First live show!
It was outstanding.
Love it.
Wow.
Mel: You're amazing.

It's that important.
Are you ready?

Announcer: Live from
Hollywood, it's "America's got
talent"!
Here's your host, Tyra banks.
Tyra: Hey, what's up?
America, welcome to Hollywood!
This is the biggest, the
baddest, the toughest and
greatest talent competition on
the planet.
You want to be a star, you come
on this show.
Tonight, 12 more acts will have
just 90 seconds to keep their
dream alive.
We know they are live.
They are performing live so you
don't know what the heck is
going to happen, right?
Before we get going, say hello
to our agt judges --
Howie mandel, Mel b, Heidi Klum
and Simon Cowell.
So there are four people --
powerful people -at this desk.
Over 3,000 here in the doll by
theatre.
And there are millions of you
watching at home tonight.
That's what the acts are facing
tonight.
Talk about the pressure.
Heidi I'm going to let you
introduce the first act because
she is your golden buzzer.
Why did you pick her?
.
I'm excited to see her
perform today because we've only
seen her perform once.
You always look for someone with
the star quality and she has the
most amazing voice and she's
super sweet.
I can't hear her yet again
today.
Tyra: I know you can't wait
to hear her.
Here's Makayla Phillips.
Getting the golden buzzer is
beyond everything.
It's the best in the world.
Knowing your family is
supporting you --
I'm so proud of you.
Especially my dad.
My dad is absolutely 100% my
hero.
He's a firefighter.
I love when you come down and
visit us.
It always brightens up the day.
His job has been so
incredibly tough, there have
been days I was scared my dad
won't come home.
But I know he's saving lives and
helping people and it makes me
so incredibly proud.
Dad!
I just had to do it, honey.
Oh, my god.
It's the best feeling in the
world that I have so much love
and support, not just family and
friends, but from the community.
All the hard work you put in,
you make your mother and I very,
very proud.
Love you.
Tonight to be performing at
the dolby theatre live, I
definitely feel more pressure
but I can't wait to be on the
stage because I just want to
make my family proud.

Tyra: I have to let everyone
know at home you're going to be
seeing a lot of stuff behind us.
That's because we have these
really cool doors but they don't
work right now they're broken.
But as Beyonce says when you get
lemons, you make what?
Lemonade.
Let's get to judging Makayla.
Heidi.
I'm so proud of you.
I feel like you sing the song
better than the original.
Oh, yes.
That's the best compliment I can
give you.
Really it looks like you're at
home on the stage and this is
where you belong.
I love it here.
Good luck.
Howie: You did everything we
asked on the show.
From the first time you audition
auditioned till now, I think
this is better than your first
audition.
You stepped it up and Rose to
the occasion, number one.
And number two, you're so
deserving but only seven people
can go through.
I hope that people vote for you.
You're wonderful, but this is
probably the strongest year I've
seen with singers.
So I wish you the best of luck.
Tyra: Mel b.?
Mel: I have to say that is
one of my favorite songs.
You had me at hello.
And the way you just interpreted
it, is just on point.
If I can give one bit of
criticism, I wanted you to come
into your own in the middle, not
go so high, just own it and do a
break down.
But you killed it tonight,
sister.
You really, really did.
I didn't do that.
Tyra: What did you do?
Mel: I went like that.
Tyra: The vibration.
That was love.
That was red love.
I was like what did I do?
Simon: You're coming to me
now?
This was way better than your
first audition.
I could feel your nerves but you
sang that song so well.
Congratulations.
Tyra: All right.
Good stuff.
Good luck to Makayla.
Voting starts right now, you can
vote using your xfinity one
remote or at "agt".Com.
You can vote up to ten times
right up to 7:00 A.M. eastern
tomorrow morning.
So get to it right now.
Go, go, go.
Announcer: Coming up.
Simon: You nearly broke your
neck.
And the fact you're nearly blind
makes this incredible.
Mel: I love the energy, the
choreography, I love you.
Boom, done.
Oh my god.
Howie: The
Tyra: Next up we got a dance
crew which started out
performing on the streets.
But now these guys have got
their whole country behind them.
It's da republik.
Back in the Dominican
Republic we have been friends
since we were kids.
We were always very passionate
about dance.
But we didn't really have many
resources to do what we love.
So we just do it anywhere we
could find.
Even if it was just a parking
lot.
There is no job for dancers
in the Dominican Republic.
So we came to the united
states.
And we're here on "America's got
talent" to be able to pursue our
dreams and be heard.
And now because of this show,
our country is very supportsupportive.
We got even to meet the
president.
Now it's not just our dream.
It's a whole country behind us.
This is more than just a
competition for us.
It's the chance to give our
country hope.
We're going to show them that
dreams can come true.

Tyra: You guys are out there
doing it, doing it, doing it,
doing it.
What?
What?
What?
What?
Oh, my gosh.
Look at the love and the
emotion.
We got to see this.
Mel b., look at this.
Mel: Dominican Republic is in
the house!
Tyra: Yes!
Mel: My gosh.
Your hair is on fire.
But can I just say you left
everything on that dance floor.
The moves, the jumps, the
twists, the turns, the
choreography on point.
I didn't see one mistake.
You are representing your
country and doing it so good and
so live and so well.
And I have to add, Tyra, you
look hot, and so do you guys.
Tyra: Thanks, Mel.
Heidi.
Heidi: It was respond
exciting.
Mel: It was hot.
Heidi: I know she squeezed me
so hard I'm going to be bruised
tomorrow.
I can see how much you want
this, and therefore I want this
for you guys.
Well done.
Tyra: Simon.
Simon: I know it's early on,
this is the best dance group
we've seen in the live show by a
clear mile.
Look, the only thing I can tell
you is, if you get through to
the next round, the end goal
here has to be Vegas because
that's where an act like this
can make a fortune, clean up.
That's what you got to stay in
sight.
It was amazing.
I love you guys by the way.
White thank you.
Howie.
Howie: Da republik is the
bomb.
Tyra: This has to be the most
emotion I've seen on the stage
since I've been hosting the
show.
Tell me where that is all coming
from.
We're so blessed.
So happy to be here in the
biggest stage of the world, with
the people I love the most,
doing what I love the most.
Thank you "agt" for changing our
lives.
Thank you we love you all.
Tyra: Good luck to da
republik who's the bomb.
If you want to see them in the
semifinals you have to vote.

different ways that acts
discover their own talent but I
have to say for this next act,
it was just plain weird.
Here's yumbo dump.
Together we are yumbo dump.
We live here, in Tokyo, Japan.
In school we had no friends.
We are very lonely.
Very lonely.
Oh, we so sad.
One day we met each other.
And we are not alone anymore.
We both dream as being sumo
wrestlers.
One day, the bellies banged.
It was our ah-ha moment.
We knew we had to make more
noises with our bodies.
The competition on "America's
got talent" is tough.
So we've been getting our bodies
in shape.
A lot.
We want to make the run and feel
so good.

Simon: I'd like to take back
my x, please.
Tyra: Really?
Simon, are you serious?
Simon: I would.
I thought the last part of that
act was beautiful.
It was a love story.
I understood it.
I love dolphins.
It was one of the most touching
moments I've had on one of these
shows.
So I apologize.
Thank you.
Feels so good.
Tyra: Feels so good.
So Howie, you stood up in the
end.
It touched your spirit?
Howie: It's not only funny,
it's not only great.
This act is important.
It's about our environment, it's
about weather, it's about sea
life.
It's about ziplocing.
Simon: I'm going to disagree.
Howie: So many messages in
one, it's beautiful and
touching.
They got to vote.
Simon: What was the plastic
bags you had on you in the
beginning.
Howie: The typhoons.
Simon: What were they.
Howie: Bags of water.
Mel: I was saying to Howie
earlier, as soon as I saw the
dolphins, I want to take my x
back.
I want to remove my x also.
Because the dolphins nailed it
for me.
The dolphins nailed it.
Simon: She's available.
She is available.
Tyra: Heidi?
Heidi: I'm not taking it
back.
Tyra: Heidi, Heidi, Heidi,
Heidi.
Heidi: No.
Stop it.
Tyra: Tell us what you feel.
Simon: Take it back.
Take it back.
Heidi: No, stop it, Simon.
Howie: You don't care about
our earth --
Heidi: I was really excited
to see you guys today, because I
like you and you make me laugh
in the past but this was the
live show.
I feel like you didn't step it
up.
Tyra: The dolphins, Heidi?
So good luck to you guys.
Simon, this is what you were
wondering.
It fell down.
Their future is now in your
hands, so vote.
If you're calling, it's toll
free from landlines.
But remember, they're
866 numbers, not 800 numbers.
So don't get that wrong, or your
favorite acts will miss out, so
dial carefully.
Right now here is our comedian
with tourette's and he nailed it
with the judges in the first two
rounds but can he get you
laughing tonight?
Here's Samuel j. Comroe.
Hey, there's the star.
What's up?
I knew from the beginning
that I would support Sam on
anything that he wanted to do,
as long as he was following his
heart.
I remember you wanted to be a
veterinarian and oddly enough
that's where the tourette's
would not have worked out very
well.
You were like, dad, I changed my
mind, I want to be a standup
comedian.
That's every father's dream.
I thought about doing comedy
myself but to raise a family
with seven kids is hard.
Watching what you did when we
were growing up and how you
worked, I think it really
inspired me.
So I put my focus in on
bringing home the bacon, feeding
the family.
The most important advice is
still love your audience.
I think about that every time
I got on stage.
In my eyes Sam is the best
comedian that has ever walked
this earth.
And Robin Williams is a close
second.
Love you.
Love you, too, son.
Samuel comroe to the stage.
That's me.
Love you.
Love you.
♪♪ Y'all going to make me lose my
mind ♪♪
♪♪ lose my mind up in here ♪♪
What up?
Yo, I been working for this
moment for over ten years and I
got to tell you it's a dream
come true to follow two dolphins
doing whatever it is they were
doing.
That's why I do this.
My wife and I, we just got a
puppy recently.
Got it from the shelter.
The lady told me she was a
German Shepherd.
I was like, "dope.
I got a police dog."
I've had her for six years.
She's still this big.
Which means either that lady
lied to me or my dog has
Benjamin button disease.
She's slowly turning into a pug
which are the worst, the
uglyiest.
People keep telling me they're
cute.
No, they're not!
They don't have noses and they
look like they smoke.
I got a dog so when stressful
things happen in the real world
I know when I go home and open
my door, my dogs going to be
there like,
"heeeeyyy!"
And I'm gonna be like,
"heeeeyyy!"
You can't do that with a pug.
You're going to walk in like,
"heeeeyyyy" and your pugs
like --
"where you been?"
I love my dog.
I walk her around the block all
day.
That's my life.
I was walking her a few weeks
ago and this guy in a truck
pulled up next to me, slammed on
his breaks, and said, "hey!
You with the dog!
What kind of dog is that?"
I was like, "I don't know.
She was supposed to be a German
Shepherd.
I've never seen anything like
her."
He said, "oh" and I said "why?"
And he said, "because I have
one."
Then he reached in his passenger
seat and he pulled up a dog that
looked exactly like my dog.
I had a moment where time froze.
I thought I was gonna look down
and just be holding a leash.
I was like,
damn you drive-by magician with
your puppy magic.
When I got her, though, she was
really sick.
This is no joke, 100% true.
She was really sick.
I took her to the vet.
$3,000.
The vet was like, in a
30 day period you can take her
back and switch her out for a
new one.
I said I'm not renting a movie.
I love her and I paid the money.
I bring it up because I'm from
Los Angeles, but I've seen it
all over the country.
A lot of homeless people.
And every homeless person I've
ever seen always has a dog.
And as a kid, I was like, where
are all these homeless people
finding all these dogs?
Now that I got a dog my theory
has completely changed.
I don't think you're homeless
and you just find a dog.
I think what happens is you go
to the shelter.
You try to do something nice.
You adopt a dog.
That dog gets sick.
You invest your hard earned
money into that dog's health.
You become homeless and then you
keep that dog because you
deserve it.
I'm Samuel comroe, thank you.
Tyra: Look at that standing
ovation!
Do you see that standing
ovation?
Feels good, huh?
Yeah.
Tyra: Howie, comedian here.
Howie: First of all, well
done.
I have to say when you came out
the first time you talked about
tourette's.
This time I didn't see any
tourette's except the video guy
operating the video behind you.
Tyra: It's flashing, right?
Howie: There's something
going behind you which for a
comedian is incredibly
distracting.
It's still going on.
You worked through adversity and
we love you and good job.
And hopefully they can get the
video wall fixed.
Tyra: Live TV y'all.
Heidi.
Heidi: I really like you and
I really, really like your
delivery.
I just didn't love what you were
delivering.
Okay.
Heidi: To me -I'm sorry, I
just have to tell you what I
think.
It's all good.
Heidi: To me it wasn't your
strongest performance today.
But that's just me.
Tyra: Simon, what do you
think?
Simon: I'm looking at who's
coming up in the running order,
and it's someone who's put a
curse on the show, which is
explaining all the stuff that's
happening --
Tyra: That's true.
Simon: I'm serious.
This is ghostly what's happening
at the moment, live TV.
Samuel, you are amazing.
I really like you.
I really hope America gets
behind you.
And the sacred riana will you
stop doing whatever you're doing
to the show right now, please.
Tyra: All right, Samuel.
Mel: I love you.
Tyra: Mel loves.
I love the way you talk like
this.
I'm going to do it all night
long.
Let's keep it moving.
The youngest performer of the
season is coming up next.
She's just five years old, and
she's here with 70 of her best
friends.
Here's the voices of hope
children's choir.
I love the choir so much.
It's just the best choir in the
world I would say.
I love voices of hope because
we're such a family and we get
along so great.
This choir feels like
everybody can just express what
they feel like.
I love it because it's free
and I can save all my money.
I never in a million years
thought I would have the guts to
perform in front of such a large
crowd.
But being in voices of hope gave
me the courage to go after my
dreams.
And getting the golden buzzer is
amazing to me.
It's one of the only times
I've cried.
It's amazing, because we're
going to the live shows and how
many choirs get to do that?
We get up on that stage we're
going to sing our hearts out.

Tyra: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wow.
I'm back there trying to hold
back tierears.
Mel b how are you feeling?
Mel: Voices of hope,
children's choir.
You give many voices hope.
You sound amazing and incredible
together.
As much as I enjoyed it, as much
as I really did enjoy it, and
your harmonies and your
choreography and what you're
wearing, the song for me wasn't
quite right.
But that's just my opinion.
Tyra: Simon, why did you give
her an x to the face.
Mel: Because he always does.
Simon: I could not disagree
more.
This was the absolutely perfect
song.
I was thinking when you were
performing, if I had a product
called happiness, that would be
the commercial.
I really, really like you guys.
You've worked so much harder --
I know how hard you've worked.
These kids are amazing.
I want them in the show all the
way to the end.
Please.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Tyra: Heidi, you look to be
beaming with happiness.
Heidi: I am.
You should be proud of
yourselves.
You just sang in front of
millions and millions and
millions of people, and you did
so well.
Also the solo vocals were also
on point as Mel would say.
On point.
Tyra: Howie?
Howie: I'm not only
fascinated by the children, but
with Simon and how he was able
to do the choreography.
I would say, the children are
our future -hey, write that
down.
Tyra: Good luck tonight.
Mel, props to you to being
constructive.
These kids are counting on you.
Simon says they're happiness.
If you want to vote online, go
to nbc. Com and remember, you can
vote up to ten times for each
act with each voting method.
So get busy.
Announcer: Coming up.
Simon: I think there's a gap
in the market for this.
Mel: That was brilliant,
brilliant, brilliant.
Howie: That was amazing.
Simon: It's
so dogs have always been a very
popular act on "agt."
And Simon loves them.
Well this year cats are fighting
back.
Here is the savitsky cats.
We love our cats.
But when we are not with
them, there's no telling what
they're up to.
Finally.
Wow.
The TV really does add ten
pounds.
You know why that was so
impressive because dogs want to
please.
Because they're idiots.
Cats are like make me, they
have cat attitude.
That's right.
What's up ladies?
What do you want?
I was thinking after the show
tonight, you, me, saucer of
milk.
You know I'm lactose
intolerant.
I guess I'll see you at the
show.
I'm such an idiot.
Where's my tuna?
Oh, humans.
Take it away.
This is just the -fur ball.
Oh my god, look at eddy, he's
always training.
And a five, six, seven,
eight.
I should probably go
practice, too after my cat nap.
If we win $1 million divided
by all the cats, that's a lot of
catnip!
They're home already?
Positions people!
Here we go.

Tyra: Standing ovation from
Heidi.
Come on forward.
I have to let you guys know,
you're thinking I'm seeing a lot
of stuff happen with the crew
back here this week.
That's because these doors back
here normally hide what's going
on, but they are busted.
They are broke y'all, but that's
live TV.
Judges talk to me about this
act.
Heidi: You've got to be
kit-ing me.
This could have been a
catastrophe.
Tyra: Simons dieing right
now.
Howie: Are you judging her
puns?
Heidi: You loved it.
You loved the act.
Simon: Go to him.
Tyra: Howie?
Howie: I think it's great,
amazing.
You see it done with dogs.
We're seeing things that aren't
normally done with cats.
I don't think this is up from
the last time I saw it.
I don't know if they stepped it
up.
Heidi: They stepped it up.
Cats normally don't do anything.
Give it to the cats.
Tyra: Simon, have you pulled
it together?
Simon is having like an allergic
reaction.
Mel, you see upset.
What's wrong?
He's still laughing at my jokes.
Mel: You two are amazing for
training the cats to do what
they do.
But I mean, I think I enjoyed
the music more than I did the
cats, but I love the cats.
Do you know how hard it is to
do this?
Tyra: You know what, it's so
not going to happen.
It's not happening.
Good luck to you guys.
I don't know what Simon things.
But we want to know what you
think.
If you vote, your favorites have
a shot at the semifinals.
But if you don't vote, they're
going to be outta here.
It's that simple.

Coming up, a singer who's waited
longer than most for her shot at
stardom, and a dancer who's
waited even longer!
We've got glennis grace, and
quin and Misha, right after
this!
Simon is getting it together.
Tyra: Tomorrow night we're
going to get the results from
tonight's show.
And only seven acts will make it
through.
And the stars of the smash hill
magic show "the illusion fists"
will be in the house.
Along with my golden buzzer act
from last season, light balance.
That's tomorrow.
Okay, this next singer has --
well, she's waited a looong time
for her shot.
And now, everything hangs on the
next couple of minutes.
Here's glennis grace.
As a kid I always dreamed of
singing for the whole world.
Singing was like dreaming for
me.
My whole life I've been walking
towards that dream.
But growing up I wasn't the most
confident kid.
Some close friends said, I don't
think you're going to make it.
That feeling always stayed with
me, or those thoughts.
And I was afraid to put myself
out there.
I just felt like I did not
deserve what I wanted in life.
Simon: I feel like I'm
looking at a star already.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't want to cry.
I just feel like that kid again.
Like I'm not worthy of it.
Then again, I was always
fighting for it.
I'm 40 now.
I don't have time to be afraid
anymore.
I have to show the world what I
want to be.

Tyra: Whoa.
Whoa.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Simon, you are on your feet.
Simon: I can now talk again
thank god.
I feel like Hugh Jackman in "the
greatest showman" when we talk
about people coming to the live
shows and taking it and having a
moment, that's what it just was.
That was a moment.
The fact you put all those key
changes into it, I thought no,
you can't go any higher.
Then you went higher.
That was classy, brilliant,
fantastic.
Tyra: Howie.
Howie: It's like I said at
the beginning of the show, it's
a tough year.
Everyone is competing.
I have Paul Stan liley here, the
lead singer from kiss and he
said to me wow.
I can't say it better.
I think you brought it.
Tyra: Mel b.
Mel: What I love about you,
you're a single parent mother.
Is it one boy.
Yes, one boy.
He's 12 years old.
Mel: You're doing it
yourself, you're taking back
your power and showing the world
you.
You killed it tonight.
You brought tears to my eyes.
Moving forward, don't wear that
jacket ever again.
Don't.
Tyra: Good luck.

and you're a mama and feel that
love like I do,

app, download it from the app
store or Google play.
All right, here's a cautionary
warning.
Simon's been talking about this
tonight.
If you have to watch scary
movies through your fingers like
this.
You might want
Tyra: Back with the auditions
we let the judges have a wild
card.
An act they could put straight
through to the live shows and
this is it.
I got two words for you, minds
blown.
Here's front pictures
computers changed my life
completely.
It was like love at first sight.
So like, wow.
I think humanity has already
reached the limits of the
physical world.
So if you want to reach new
possibilities, I think the only
way to do it is to create
virtual worlds.
Welcome to virtual reality.
It's exciting to see things
we've never really seen before.
I believe we can create new
worlds.
Imagine you can travel wherever
you want, you can travel through
time.
What people can think inside
their minds they can bring to
life.
What we're going to show tonight
it's bigger than the audience
has seen before.
The lines between the virtual
and the reality have become
blurred.
No one knows what is real
anymore.
Is this even real?
♪♪♪♪
Ha ha ha ha.
[ Screaming ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Tyra: Whoa.
What was that?
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Heidi, what do you think of
that?
Heidi: You are taking us to a
different dimension.
I mean, it is innovative,
futuristic
futuristic.
I loved it.
We see a lot of these type of
acts, but no one does it as well
as you guys.
What's happening?
Tyra: He's so excited his mic
just dropped.
Boom.
Mel: It did the mic drop.
Boom.
Heidi: It looked like so much
fun I want to ride around on
that.
Tyra: Simon?
Simon: I have a wobbly mic
now because of you.
Honestly I'd like to hear more
applause for these guys.
Because that was astonishingly
good.
I felt like I was in a movie.
There was sections of the act
reminded me of working with you
and Mel.
Remember the bit where he's on
the broomstick and things are
chasing him.
Mel: He's calling us witches,
come on.
Simon: It was fabulous.
Thank you.
Howie: I hope it translates
at home.
The ingenuity is off the hook.
We watched what you did, and
Simon can't even get his
microphone together.
So that juxtaposition of
technology just shows us new
words words.
Simon: You got a point.
Howie: It was amazing.
It's up to you America, vote.
Tyra: Mel b?
Mel: Icon cur what everybody
says.
You did take us to a different
level.
Howie: Wrap it up.
Mel: I'm wrapping it up.
I don't understand the story.
What was the story?
Simon: Witches after someone
on a broomstick.
Mel: Was that it?
Tyra: Witches on a
broomstick.
That was amazing.
Good luck to you guys.
Every vote counts, so get to it!
Voting will stay open until
7:00 A.M. eastern tomorrow
morning.
All right.
So our last act is going to
attempt a seriously dangerous
thing.
It went really, really bad the
last time.
Can they do it tonight and do it
right?
Tyra: So here is our last act
tonight.
Now you've ever wondered if the
risk on agt are real, this act
got everyone talking at the
auditions.
TV news channels blew up.
They darn near broke the
Internet.
You'll see why.
It's duo transcend.
Terror on the trapeze.
We witnessed the most
frightening accident in history.
When a trapeze artist dropped
his wife from midair.
The daring trapeze act going
off without a hitch until she
slipped from our blindfolded
husband's hands.
I was watching at home with
my kids we freaked out.
On top of all this, tyce is
legally blind in one eye.
To make the stunt harder he wore
a blindfold.
This was the first time with
the blind followed.
Just inches away from flames.
Both of them were so clearly
emotional.
Will they try that same stunt
again?
Yes.
Mistakes happen we have to
keep going.
We cannot wait to see what
they're going to do next.
This is a Vegas act.
The best part is not knowing
what's going to happen.
That's why I love the show.
That could have been deadly.

Tyra: What?
What?
What?
Heidi?
To quote Mel, what just
happened?
Heidi: Hands down, one of the
best acts of the night.
That's what I think.
Really, hands down.
That was so good.
And I have to say, I was so
worried because you know the
last time you did fall on the
floor, so naturally you sit here
and think I hope it doesn't
happen again.
But it didn't happen again, you
didn't fall on the floor.
It was perfect, it was
fantastic.
I love you guys.
I also love the love between you
guys.
One of the best acts of the
night.
Tyra: Mel b?
Mel: Let's not forget your
eye --
Howie: Eyesight.
Mel: Is deteriorating day by
day.
Howie: Like your row cab lar.
Mel: I'm going to get you.
That's all I've got.
Tyra: Are you going to defend
her, Simon?
Tyra: Mel is so insulted
she's exiting the building.
Simon: Back to you guys,
brave, incredible, nuts.
I would like to see the fire
back.
For you, yes.
For you, yes, we'll do it.
Simon: You really are
outstanding.
Tyra: Howie.
Howie: I was looking forward,
with fear and trepidation, to
seeing you redeem yourself from
the fall.
There's so much trust, it's
amazing.
I've been with my wife 40 years
and there's no way she trusts me
10% of what this one is trusting
you.
This is amazing.
This is what "America's got
talent" is all about.
Danger, passion, excitement.
All in one package.
America has to vote.
Tyra: Vote, vote, vote.
Bluk to
good luck to you guys.
Voting is open, it is happening
now and all the acts are relying
on you.
You've got until 7:00 A.M.
Eastern tomorrow morning.
Seven acts go through, five acts
go home.
It all comes down to the results
tomorrow night.
Voting will stay open through
the night, so get to it.
We'll see you tomorrow.
And the illusionists and light
balance will be heating up the
stage.
That's all.
