America's Got Talent (2006–…): Season 13, Episode 17 - Live Quarterfinals 3 - full transcript

Hollywood

boulevard was a buzz when Simon
cowell received an iconic star

on the Hollywood walk of fame.
Thank you all of you.

It means a lot to me.
Thank you.

You killed it tonight.
This was amazing.

This is wow.
Heidi: I'm so proud of you.

Simon: That was brilliant,
fantastic.

Mel: So ready.
Howie: So ready.

Mel: Come on.
♪♪♪♪

Simon: The end goal here has
to be Vegas.

Announcer: Live from
Hollywood, it's "America's got



talent"!
Here's your host, Tyra banks.

Tyra: This is Hollywood, and
this is "agt."

Okay people, it's simple --
this is the last chance for any

of our acts to be voted into the
semi-finals.

They're gonna walk out here
tonight, knowing that if they

nail it, they could be one step
closer to being a major new

star.
But if they mess up --

no.
We're not even going to go

there.
We're not going to think about

that.
The pressure is on, though.

And all of the acts know -- the
world is watching.

This is a big night and we're
gonna get big opinions down at

the desk.
Let's hear it for our "agt"

judges --
Howie mandel, Mel b, Heidi Klum



and Simon Cowell!
All right.

So there was some big showbiz
news this week -- Simon, you got

a star on the
Hollywood walk of fame.

Simon, how did that feel?
Simon: I feel like I'm living

the dream.
It was a blast, and I'm

grateful.
Tyra: And it's there forever

and ever, Simon.
Simon: That is amazing.

Tyra: This is a spot not on
the Hollywood walk of fame but

the semifinals.
Coming up,

these guys are more than a dance
crew -- they're a dance family,

with a connection that goes way
beyond the dance floor.

It's the future kingz.
Our family is everything to

us.
Coming from bad neighborhoods,

there was a lot of gang
violence.

It was a full time job just to
stay out of trouble.

That's why we started the future
kingz.

It made us feel safe.
It gave us hope for the future.

See you all next week.
It made us a family.

Some of us are already
brothers.

Come on, we got to go.
We all rely on each other.

Blood couldn't make us any
closer.

We got to go, man.
We take pride knowing we have

each other's backs and that's
what keeps us focussed.

We wouldn't be able to make it
this far without this family.

Now that we're at the live
shows, we know that anything is

possible together.
We're here to when "America's

got talent."
We got this.

Tyra: The future kingz in the
house.

Simon?
Simon: I'm giving you a

standing ovation, one for the
performance and one for who you

are as people.
You are some of the nicest guys

we've ever had on this show.
Thank you.

Simon: You're so Sincere, so
focussed.

That was like watching a very
cool commercial.

Thank you.
Simon: That's the best

compliment I can give.
I'll take it.

Thank you, Simon.
Tyra: Howie?

Now,.

Howie: Everything he said,
this diverse group in ages, it's

wonderful to see you come
together.

I'm so excited.
America has to vote.

Vote, America.
Thank you.

Tyra: Mel b.?
Mel: Some of the choreography

I wasn't impressed with.
What I am impressed with is your

unamit -- is that the word?
Simon: No.

Mel: How united you are, your
strength and loyalty.

I love how cool and edgy you
are.

You have to step up the
choreography.

Tyra: Heidi.
Heidi: I liked it.

It felt like an old school dance
off.

Tyra: They got the party
started.

Get on the phone, online, use
the agt app.

Voting is going to be open right
up to 7:00 A.M. eastern tomorrow

morning opinion it's open now.
Get to it!

Announcer: Coming up --
Simon: For me it's about

being real.
Actions speak louder than words.

Heidi: The sparks are flying
back and forth.

I think you have a hit right
there.

Simon: This is one of the
most incredible things I

..

..

We mean that.
All right, so now being on the

agt live shows is a big deal.
But it's not the only life

changing event these next two
singers have in their future.

They are us the duo.
Is that the heartbeat?

The fluttering?
Yes.

That's her heartbeat.
Hearing the heartbeat for the

first time, oh, my gosh.
We get to hear so many beautiful

sounds.
By far, that is my favorite

sound that I have ever heard.
Oh, my gosh.

That's amazing.
Having a baby come into this

world changes the way I think
about things.

Being a musician definitely has
ups and downs.

Financially, you never know when
the paycheck is going to come.

So that's why "America's got
talent" is so important to us.

This baby is coming whether we
are stable or not.

♪♪ And I won't let you fall ♪♪
tonight we are singing a song

about our baby.
The song talks about me wanting

the baby to be just like her
because I know as soon as I hold

the baby in my arms that I'm
going to look into her eyes and

fall in love just like I did
with her mama.

I can't wait to sing it for
America to hear.

"America's got talent" is a once
in a lifetime opportunity.

We'll definitely not let it slip
away.

Especially now with baby on the
way.

♪♪ No matter where you are ♪♪
♪♪ I'll be there ♪♪

[ Cheers and applause ]

Tyra: Whoa!
We've got three performers on

this stage.
Not me.

Simon?
Simon: We're going to have to

change the name to us the trio
now.

First of all, congratulations.
Secondly, congratulations on

going back to your roots when we
first saw your first audition.

I love the percussion, the song.
I love you two.

I am praying America puts you
through to the semifinals.

I think you deserve it.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Tyra: Mel b.?
Mel: That actually made me

really emotional.
Same.

Mel: You look gorgeous
pregnant.

Tyra: How many months are
you?

I'm seven and a half months
now.

Tyra: You look amazing.
Mel: I love the song to your

baby girl.
I loved it.

Tyra: Heidi?
Heidi: You two are the cutest

couple.
It was a little schmaltzy, but I

love it.
We love it.

Heidi: We do.
Tyra: Howie?

Howie: First of all, thank
you for inviting us all to your

gender reveal party.
Simon: That's true.

Howie: Out of your
performances this is by far the

favorite.
This was wonderful.

Thank you!
Howie: I don't know if it's

that you're carrying and your
reproduction is a wonderful

thing we can all get together.
Vote for these two and the one

still inside.
Tyra: All right.

What do you think about ma mommy
and daddy did?

I think it was so amazing.
I want you to vote for my mama

and my daddy.
That's exactly what she said.

Tyra: Exactly.
Good luck tonight you two --

three!
If you want to see these three

in the semifinals get online at
nbc. Com or use the official

"America's got talent" app.
You can download that from the

app store or Google play.
All right.

Coming up, an opera singer.
He's hoping to get you on your

feet, and a magician hopes to
leave you gasping.

I know you want to see that.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

Tyra: So here is an act who
got sent home after the last

round.
But then the judges got

together, they argued, they
fought, it actually got

physical -- well, not real
physical.

But, you know, they all decided
to bring him back as a wild

card.
And you're about to hear why.

Here's Daniel Emmet.
Most teenagers don't fall in

love with classical music, but
once I started singing, I never

wanted to stop.
After my performance at judge

cuts, I felt great.
I gave it everything I had.

But it just wasn't enough.
Simon: I'm going to cut to

the chase, Daniel, you haven't
made it through.

It was heartbreaking.
Howie: Don't give up.

But this journey is not over.
Now I find out I'm back on the

show.
I'm the wild card.

It is beyond my wildest
expectations.

As a wild card there's even more
pressure to prove that I deserve

to be in the competition.
I've been training harder, I've

been training longer.
Make that note better, hold this

note longer.
Do it again.

Do it again.
It has to be right.

There are things in what I'll be
performing I've never attempted

before.
It's something I feel comes from

my soul.
Every note has to be perfect.

There's no room for mistakes.
I will not fail.

♪♪♪♪

Tyra: All the judges are on
their feet.

You guys feel the heat in this
room, people?

Heidi?
Heidi: Oh my god!

I mean, you -- how good are you?
Oh, my word.

You -- I mean, you really are
one of the best strongest

singers that we have here on the
show.

If I had one more golden buzzer
I would push that right now so

you could go straight to the
semifinals.

I just love you, I really,
really do.

That -- going higher, what is
that?

Thank you so much.
I'm so grateful to be back and

be here today.
Tyra: You're actually tearing

up.
Can you turn.

Simon.
Simon: I'm so happy I

persuaded the other three to put
you through as a wild card.

It took a lot of persuasion.
But we got there together, you

and I Daniel.
You may not realize your voice

was so powerful the stage lit up
in fire behind you.

That's how big it was.
Hats off to you that was what I

call a moment.
Congratulations.

Tyra: Howie?
Howie: It was surreal.

I feel like my parents took me
to see pavarati to see

aerosmith.
You make me feel a lot classer

than I am.
Tyra: Mel b.

Mel: The key change was
everything.

Oh my gosh.
If I have one bit of criticism,

I wish you would have started
off quieter so the key change

would have been more dramatic,
'cause you can sing.

Heidi: It was dramatic.
Tyra: All right.

So how are you feeling?
I'm feeling like you have the

young people with the aerosmith
and the older people with the

opera.
You have a lot of people rooting

for you tonight.
I'm so thankful to America

and the judges for bringing me
back.

I can't express how much this
opportunity means to me.

Thank you.
Tyra: You're holding it in,

what are you thinking?
I'm thinking this is the

greatest experience of my life,
I'm so lucky.

Tyra: Good luck tonight,
Daniel.

Remember, only seven acts go
through this week.

So if you want Daniel to be one
of them, you gotta vote.

You can vote up to ten times for
each act with each of the voting

methods.
Still to come, we have an

unforgettable and brave
violinist and an act who lives

and breathes danger.
At the auditions, he terrified

the heck out of the judges with
a

Tyra: You know, a lot of big
stars that you love have had to

overcome major obstacles.
That's what this musician has

had to do every day of his life.
He's Brian king Joseph.

♪♪ Some legends are told
my entire life has been

challenge after challenge.
My only constant has been my

violin, I don't know where I'd
be without it.

Growing up with a single mom
supporting a family of four,

it's not easy.
I had to play violin on the

street just to help feed my
family.

But when I was really playing,
you know, like really in the

vibe, I'd open my eyes and
there'd be like 20 people

standing there.
That's when I realized, this is

what I was born to do.
Music taught me, you got to

fight for who you are.
And it's exactly that mentality

that I'm bringing into the live
rounds.

Everything that I've been going
through in my life, you know,

being poor, me being sick and
having this nerve disease

prepared me for this performance
tonight.

I'm here to challenge myself to
be the person that I dream to

be.

Tyra: Oh, my goodness.
Beautiful.

Oh my gosh, I don't know what
to say.

Tonight is crazy.
You know, this is going to sound

silly, but one of my biggest
memories in life when I was a

little Jewish boy my parents
took me to see "fuddiddler on the

roof" this is so much better.
Tyra: Mel b.

Mel: You make me emotional.
You give it everything, and I

know your pain level is always
at number ten and you kill it

every time we see you.
You gave us a proper show

tonight and I know you're in
pain.

Tyra: Heidi?
Heidi: I think you're verial

lenned.
And I love your personality.

There's always a smile on your
face even though you are in

pain.
I love watching you every time.

Tyra: Simon?
Simon: Brian, what you are

going through, it's like a
singer losing their voice.

You've had this issue with your
hands which means you may not be

able to do this much longer but
for all the time we've met you

you've always been positive.
You were so passionate you broke

a ton of strings.
I did.

Simon: That means you wanted
it.

I applaud you for everything you
did, and everything you've gone

through.
I hope America gets behind you

you deserve to be in the next
round.

It means so much for me to
hear you say this.

Tyra: Talk about.
We know you were in pain, but

what are your hands and feet
feeling like right now when you

were playing.
My hands are feeling like

nothing right now.
I'm working on it, and thanks

for all of your support.
It means so much to me on my

journey to do this for me and
all of you.

Thank you America.
Tyra: Everybody at home is

not feeling numb.
They're feeling you, I'm sure.

Here's the deal, he is relying
on you to keep his dream alive.

If you're calling, it's toll
free from landlines.

But please remember, these are
866 numbers, not 800 numbers, so

dial carefully.
All right.

So waiting in the wings is
the act who's already had Howie

and Heidi freaking out with
crazy fear.

And tonight he's got to raise
his game.

I cannot wait to see.

At the auditions this act
blindfolded himself and cut a

pineapple off Howie's head.
In judge cuts he shot an apple

off Heidi's head.
Now it's the live shows, so Mel

b. And Simon, be afraid.
Please do not try what you are

about to see at home.
I mean that.

Serious.
Here's Aaron crow.

Mel b, you buzzed.

Why did you buzz?
Mel: I didn't see the ending.

I don't know quite what
happened.

Heidi: His hand is fine.
Mel: I adore you.

I love your presence, but for me
it took too long.

The whole thing was too long.
Tyra: I liked it.

Heidi, too long?
Heidi: Aaron, I am a fan of

yours, and I did love you
slicing the pineapple off Howie

and you shooting the apple off
my head.

Tonight wasn't as thrilling.
Mel: It was too long.

Heidi: I agree with me it was
a little long.

The most thrilling thing is when
you buzzed.

Tyra: Simon?
Simon: I value my hand.

The fact that you buzzed him
nearly put him off.

And you, Howie, if we had gone
on your crash I would have a

hole in my hand, so thank you,
Aaron, for saving me.

Mel: I was trying to save
you.

Simon: Yeah.
Mel: I was.

Howie: I think I was amazing.
How did I --

Heidi: You were amazing.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Howie: If they want to see me
move on, they got to vote.

If you want to see me in the
semifinals, vote for Howie.

Tyra: Good luck tonight,
Aaron.

If you want Aaron to go through
to the semi-finals, there's a

bunch of ways to vote.
And new this year, you can vote

using your xfinity x1 voice
remote.

Go make some dreams come true.
Right now.

Announcer: Coming up --
Howie: I think you're going

to go really far.
Mel: I absolutely adore you.

Heidi: I mean, there's kids
flying all over the air.

It was absolutely incredible.

Tyra: This 20-year-old is all
innocence and has never been

kissed.
But I think he's going to have

all of you smooching your TV
screens tonight.

Here's Joseph o'brien.
I've always been a hopeless

romantic.
All I ever wanted to do is

settle down with the right girl.
I always wanted to meet someone

in a really cool romantic way.
Like you see in a movie.

I think I just move too fast all
the time.

That's probably why it hasn't
happened yet.

I just love you -- well, that
went well.

Okay.
Love you.

Great.
Awesome.

Do you want them?
The start of high school was

tough with girls and friends.
Lunchtime was the worst because

I would eat by myself all the
time.

I used to eat like really fast
just to not look alone.

But music was always there for
me.

Music always lifts my spirits
and gives me more confidence.

Whenever I play movie, I'm in
this other world of art and

beauty, that I'm like transfixed
by.

I never thought I'd be on "agt"
let alone the live shows.

One of the biggest surprises in
my life for sure.

I want this so bad because I'll
never get this moment ever

again.

Tyra: Whoa.

Mel b.
Mel: So this was your

original song?
You wrote this song yourself?

Yes, I did.
Mel: Who's it about if I may

ask.
It's about a girl back home

that I had a crush on at some
point.

Mel: Are you together?
I wish.

Simon: What's her name.
Mel: Don't make him say the

name.
Tyra: Totally say the name.

Say the name is.
Her name is Brianna.

Mel: Hopefully she hears this
song because the lyrics were

flawless.
I was tearing up a little bit.

I don't know what's going on
tonight.

Very good.
Thank you.

Tyra: Heidi?
Heidi: It was sweet.

It didn't knock me out of my
seat, but it was sweet.

Thank you.
Mel: It was about love.

I want somebody to write a song
like that about me.

Tyra: Simon.
Simon: Joseph, I like you.

You're probably going to hook up
now with Brianna, so that's the

good news.
The not so good news is I

personally didn't love the song.
Maybe it's one of those songs

you have to hear two or three
times --

[ booing ]
Simon: Oh, shut up.

Mel: It's a beautiful love
song.

Simon: You stuck to what you
wanted to do and I applaud you

for that, but I'm not sure that
performance is going to get you

through.
Thank you.

Tyra: What do you think,
Howie?

Howie: I'm agreeing with
Simon.

It's about the dynamics.
This show from the beginning has

been through the roof.
Hopefully it works for Brianna,

but you have a giant doily, any
way it doesn't matter.

Let's move on.
Tyra: Good luck tonight,

Joseph.
Whether it's Joseph or all the

other girls hitting you up on
social media.

He needs your votes.
Your votes decide who comes back

in the semi-finals, so make sure
your favorites get through.

You can call, you can get
online, you can use the official

"America's got talent" app.
Whatever you do, get busy.

Coming up --
the international superstar, sex

symbol, accordionist,
home-wrecker and Madonna-fan,

hans.
Who -- I mean, he's --

there is literally no way to
describe him.

He's hans.
Next.

Next.
Let me see that one more time.

No.
Next.

My regular dancers could not be
here, so today I'm holding an

open call audition.
Do you think this is good enough

for Simon Cowell?
I don't.

These are the live shows I need
the best talents in America, and

this is what's shown up today.
I need the Vegas headlining

show.
You got me?

This isn't a game anymore.
This is for a million dollars.

I just want to make this the
most spectacular thing America

has ever seen.
Dolby theatre.

So tonight I need to make
this perfect.

Show time.
Here's how it's going to go.

We're going to start wide, zoom.
It's all about the show.

It's not about me.
Follow me.

Follow me.
Follow me.

All the time.
Always on me.

Never cut to the judges,
nobody's interested.

Beige, beige, I need more
sparkle, more fabulous, more

glitter.
I may not be the best singer, I

may not be the best dancer, but
I know how to put on a show.

I'm ready to begin.

Tyra: Hans.

Hans.
Hans.

Heidi, what do you feel about
your hometown hero?

Heidi: Mel, did Elton John
and you have a baby and didn't

tell me?
I finally woke up again

[ Heidi speaking in German ]
I think you're entertaining and

fun to watch you.
Tyra: I have no idea what you

said.
Let me translate.

Heidi was saying, she cannot
tell who of us is the super

model here.
We could be sisters.

Tyra: Twins, honey.
Simon.

Simon: Amazingly like
watching a horror movie that you

shouldn't enjoy it you do.
That's how I feel.

For some reason I loved it.
Simon, Simon.

Simon: Yes, darling.
I promise you, I promise you

I perform it on our wedding
night.

Tyra: Oh my gosh.
Howie.

Howie: Oh my god, you were
saying -- I think of Heidi Klum

if liberachi had a son that's
who this would be.

That's his real piano, I'm
not joking.

Howie: Anyway, this is my
favorite act so far tonight

hans-down.
Tyra: Mel b.

Mel: Can I say hands down for
the song choice, spice up your

life.
I was saying to Howie, what song

is it?
At spice girls we write our own

material, I didn't recognize our
own song but you killed it.

Yes, you did.
I love you.

Tyra: So this is his chance.
Your chance to put hans in the

semifinals.
If you want to use the "agt"

app, download it from the app
store or Google play.

Right after the break, your
minds are gonna be blown by an

incredible alternative-reality,
parallel universe, dance crew.

And later, the singing dad of
six, Michael ketterer gets his

shot at the semi finals.
Keep it "agt."

Tyra: This is the last
chance for any act

to get to the semi-finals.
Only seven will go through and

we'll find out who's made it on
the results show tomorrow night.

And we'll have the cast of
"beautiful" the incredible

Broadway show about Carol king.
That's 8:00/7:00 central

tomorrow.
Make sure you're watching.

Okay, back to tonight.
"Agt" really does change the

lives of our champions.
But for this dance crew, giving

something back is just as
important as winning.

It's udi dance.
Dance brought us together and

saved us.
We grew up in Siberia.

The Russian government had
fallen.

There was drugs and crime and
really few opportunities.

I grew up in the orphanage and I
was all alone.

But I found dance.
And dance gave me my family.

Together we started a dance
school for children like us.

We wanted to show other children
the light.

We wanted to give them
opportunity.

We believe these children can
change the world.

Seeing our students succeed
means everything to us.

"America's got talent" is our
chance to show them that

anything is possible.
To be here, it's unbelievable.

But we know we have to step up
even more.

This is our chance.
And we are going to take it.

Tyra: Whoa.
Simon?

Simon: Guys, thank you so
much.

You want my honest opinion?
This wasn't as good as your

first audition.
I really mean that.

You have to remember, this show
isn't just about the million

dollars, it's about going to
Vegas.

I've seen acts do it better.
If you are to go through to the

next round you have to step
things up.

I didn't love it, I'm sorry.
Tyra: Howie?

Howie: I love games and video
games you had me at the video

games.
Where do I collect coupons?

Because I won that one.
I thought it was innovative.

I don't necessarily agree with
Simon on that.

Tyra: Mel be?
Mel: I'm confused because I

love what you do.
I love the part where you were

spinning in the middle and
things were coming off you.

That was my favorite part and
the a-ha song.

Those are the only two things I
liked.

I have to agree with Simon.
But I do love you.

Tyra: Heidi?
Heidi: I think the arcade

video game idea was great but
the execution wasn't maybe as

great as the idea.
I agree with Simon as well.

I liked it better before on
previous --

Tyra: Okay.
So they're saying that you were

stronger before.
What do you want to say to

everyone at home so they vote
for you so you can get better.

Thank you so much.
We're happy to stay here.

Thank you.
Tyra: So good luck to them.

You have a lot of votes you can
use tonight.

You can vote up to ten times for
each act, with each of our

voting methods.
You really can make a

difference.
So please, vote.

Announcer: Coming up --
Heidi: I mean, wow, I love

it.
Mel: That is magic.

Thank you.
Mel: And I believe in magic.

Simon: The real greats,
they're just amazing, bloody,

Tyra: In a few weeks, one of
our acts is gonna win

$1 million.
Now I want you to close your

eyes and I want you to imagine
yourself doing just that.

It can happen.
We'll be auditioning for next

season all across the country
really soon.

Go to agtauditions. Com to submit
a video online and to find out

everything you need to know.
Because we want to see what you

can do, baby.
Now, acts perform for all kinds

of reasons, but this singer has
the absolute best possible

motivation.
She's Christina Wells.

My biggest inspiration
definitely is my mother.

When I was about 3 1/2, my
father was killed in a car

accident, and all of a sudden my
mom had two little girls to take

care of by herself.
We didn't have a lot of money.

We were on food stamps.
We had to learn how to

survive.
I tried to make it so that you

didn't feel how tough things
were.

She was worried, I'm sure,
about bills and keeping the

lights on.
But she just didn't show it.

We danced and we laughed and we
had a great time.

That spoke of her love more than
any words ever could.

You did a great job.
Thank you.

I'm glad you feel like that.
There were times when the

rest of the world didn't believe
in me.

There were times I didn't
believe in myself.

But my mom has always believed
in me.

I'm very proud of you.
Thank you, mama.

Being here at "America's got
talent," this is the closest

I've ever been to making my
life-long dream come true.

I want to be a singer.
I want to say, I did it mama.

I did it.

Tyra: Standing ovation!

Everyone is on their feet.
Do you see this?

Do you see what you just did?
Howie?

Howie: I can't believe
there's going to be more show

tonight.
That was like a grand finale,

that's the way to leave them --
you know you said in the package

before you didn't believe in
yourself and sometimes it was

only your mother who believed in
you.

I think I'm speaking for an
entire country, I think we all

believe in you now.
Tyra: Mel b?

Mel: Where do I start?
My gosh, I adore you.

I love you, your voice is
sensational.

Your rage is massive.
You are incredible.

You made me cry.
I never heard that song before

but I understood every single
lir

Lyric because you sang it from
your heart.

Tyra: Heidi.
Heidi: You have changed so

much since the first time we
met.

That's not your voice.
Your voice has always been

there.
But your confidence.

Your confidence needed to catch
up and it finally did.

Thank you, Heidi.
Tyra: Simon.

Simon: Tonight you are the
diva I've always believed you

are.
I mean that as the biggest

compliment.
You owned the stage, you owned

the song.
You put everyone -- anyone's who

ever put you down, which we
spoke about before, after that

they can you know what.
Mel: Exactly.

Simon: Because that's what
this show is all about, is

people like you being given an
opportunity.

I think there's going to be a
lot of Broadway producers

watching this show tonight
thinking I want to audition you.

I do.
Tyra: So I see someone that

means everything to you more
than anyone in the world.

Mama in the audience.
What do you want to tell her

after this amazing performance
and feedback you got?

What do you want to tell mommy
right now?

Momma, you worked so hard for
us when we were little girls.

She's my white mama.
It was a struggle in the '70s in

the south to have mixed
children, so you showed me what

grace and dignity looked like.
Today I hope I made you proud.

Thank you for being here and
believing in me.

I love you mama.
Tyra: You spoke to so many

kids, mixed kids.
All right.

This is for a spot in the
semi-finals.

There's a bunch of ways to vote
and new this year, you can vote

using your xfinity x1 voice
remote.

Go make some dreams come true.
Hi, mama!

Announcer: Coming up --
Howie: Wow!

Tyra: This is so crazy.
You know what I have to do.

Heidi: I am just blown away.
Simon: For me it's about

being real.
Tyra: At the auditions, it

can be really difficult trying
to decide who to hit the golden

buzzer for.
But as soon as I saw this act,

it was a done deal.
And guess what --

their audition is now the most
viewed online in "agt" history

with over 320 million views.
I got the eyes --

here's my golden buzzer,
zurcaroh.

zurcaroh is a family.

When people watch our
performance.

They can feel that we are
connected with each other.

Every member in the group is
important.

This makes our group special.
But if someone is missing, we

are lost.
Since our last performance, two

gymnasts in our group lost their
mother.

For them, it was a hard moment.
But we are family, and we will

always support each other.
She knew how much they loved

being zurcaroh.
So tonight, to have the entire

group together on that stage, I
know she would be really proud.

We are stronger when we are
together.

Tonight we will be united and we
will give the performance of our

life.

Mel: Oh my gosh.

First of all, Tyra, this is your

Tyra: Yes, darling.

Are you like 7 years old.

I love the music.
I love the outfits.

Tyra: Story line, too, Mel.
Mel: I got the story line.

Tyra: Everyone give Mel an
applause, she got the story

line.
Heidi?

Heidi: If there was an act
ready for Las Vegas, it's you

guys.
You are perfect from the

costumes to the makeup, the
masks, the dancing, the whole

thing and the little girls.
All the kids, amazing.

My goose bumps just won't go
down they're still up.

Simon: True.
Tyra: Simon.

Simon: Yeah, I didn't like
it.

I loved it!
Heidi: He loved it.

Simon: We don't have much
time.

I'm going to say, this is one of
the best live performances I

have ever seen on an "America's
got talent."

Tyra: Howie?
Howie: I agree.

They put dance to a whole new
level.

You know how they say less is
more, you proved them wrong.

More is more.
You had acrobatics, dancing, and

a male Victoria's secret model
that's amazing zbliets Heidi,

he's the first male angel.
How do you feel about all the

love.
They're saying you're ready for

Las Vegas.
We're blessed for everything

we have.
We don't know when we're going

to leave the competition with be
but our heart is full.

Thank you for everything.
Tyra: You said you don't know

when you're going to leave, I'll
fix that for you, you're not

going to leave.
Good luck to my people,

zurcaroh.
Let's keep it going.

Up next is a magician, and at
the auditions, Simon wasn't easy

on him at all.
But he's made it here and he's

looking to show you what he can
do.

He's Rob lake.
This "agt" journey has been

exhausting and exciting and just
out of this world.

When I first walked on the
stage, it was really a sense of

vulnerability and pressure.
Simon said he loves the magic

but has an issue with the thee
at

theeatrics of it.
And at judge cuts the same thing

happened.
Simon: Maybe that's why you

haven't been given the break
yet.

It's all a bit corny.
It feels personal when

someone makes a comment like
that.

Because everything in this is
me.

I think Simon is wrong.
Magic has to have the drama,

it's part of the illusion.
I'm really at a loss for what is

Simon wanting?
We have to get this right.

Tonight I'm pulling out all the
stops.

I'm hoping Simon will admit he's
wrong, because when I go on

stage, I want to win.
I'm in this to win.

Good runway walk, girls.

He's just appearing and

Simon.
Thank you.

Tyra: Tiesimon.
Simon: I feel I have kind of

helped you get to this place.
Constructive, supportive, fair

play, I think you put on a great
show on a live show.

It was a bit corny at times but
maybe that's who you are.

I have no idea how you flew from
there --

Tyra: Simon!
Simon, come on!

Simon: I'm being nice.
Tyra: That's nice saying it's

corny and that's who you are.
Simon: I'm saying it in a

complimentary way.
Mel: It takes a corny one to

know a corny one.
Tyra: Heidi?

Heidi: I loved it.
It was like you were there and

there.
It's like you were two of you.

Like you have a twin.
I don't.

I have one sister, she's here
tonight and she hates magic.

Heidi: I love it, it was so
much things going on at the same

time, I love it.
Otherwise I get bored.

Howie: I love the magic, the
show, the cheesiness was a bit

many much for me.
It was the Ada and the dancing.

It looked very '80s to me.
Tyra: Maybe that was the

style, I'm very 1940s tonight.
Howie: It's not cheese

superintendent -- cheesy.

Mel: I didn't think it was
cheesy enough.

Are you sure you don't have a
twin?

I don't.
Mel: That was magic.

Pure magic.
Tyra: Every vote counts get

Voting stays open until 7:00

A.M. eastern time.
After the break, Simon's golden

Tyra: Our last act tonight is
also our last golden buzzer of

this season.
Big daddy Simon's golden buzzer.

Why did you pick him?
Simon: I picked him

because --
Mel: Because I told you to

pick him.
Simon: He's actually just a

great human being and a great
singer and I'm thrilled -- I'm

so excited right now.
I really, really am.

Tyra: Okay, here's
Michael ketterer.

My dad -- before I met my dad
it was very hard.

We used to imagine parents.
How come?

It was really hard.

I was living on the streets.
I know your favorite part is

when we put the chocolate chips
in.

Whenever my dad's around me,
I always feel like I'm really

safe.
Sometimes you got to make a

mess to make something really
good.

He's a super fun dad.
Doctors said he's not going

to have a relationship with
anybody.

Hi, daddy.
Look at him now.

We've got cookies.
My family is why I'm here.

When you're surviving you can't
dream.

My dad shows me that dreams
sometimes come true.

My dream is to get a good
education.

My dream is to be a chef one
day.

My dream is to be like my dad.

And I feel like I can do that.
I think you're going to win

the whole show, dad.

Simon?
This is your golden guy.

Simon: Come back to me in a

Talk through it.

gosh.

couldn't -- I can't imagine what
you've done and the fact that

you're on this show and you
really need this and you're a

really, really special guy.
There's something about you.

Tyra: Simon, that is one of
the most beautiful moments I

have ever seen of you, that
vulnerability and beauty.

That's what people don't know
about Mr. Cowl, that he's a big,

soft papa.
Mel b. Why are you writing?

Mel: I'm doodling so I don't
cry too much.

To do what you've done, taking
on, adopting all these kids,

giving them life and your voice
sings such truth and honesty.

You don't have the best voice
but what you do is you're

captivating and you're honest,
I'm not going to try, I already

cried.
I cried at the first word you

said.
Tyra: Heidi?

Heidi: When you sing, you
sing with so much heart.

On a side note, we need more men
like you.

Mel: Yes, please!
Tyra: Howie?

Howie: More humans like you.
You deserve to be here.

This is not a sob story, this is
a happy story.

People should be inspired by
you.

Tyra: So Michael, you made
Simon Cowell cry on national,

live television.
What does that feel like?

I mean, I know I think he
gets it, you know, these are my

babies and I have given my
entire life to this, and I

couldn't have done it without my
wife back there.

She's one of my greatest
supports.

And -- I don't know what else to
say.

Tyra: I'll say it for you.
You have to vote.

Seven acts are going through,
five are going to be really sad.

Tomorrow we have the results,

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
