And tonight, the stakes could
not get any higher.



This is probably -- this is the
biggest performance of their

lives.
For whoever wins, there's the

chance to headline a show in
Las Vegas.

And think about this, guys, the
winner walked into an audition

just months ago, but they're

new life and $1 million!
Now, before we get down to

business, let's say hello to our
"agt" judges.

Howie mandel.
Mel b.

Heidi Klum.
Big papa Simon Cowell!

Simon, this night is big, right?
Huge!

You know, when I was driving
down here today, I said to some

friends of mine, of all the
finals I've ever been at, this

is going to be the most open.
It's what you do on the night

that's going to make the
difference.

We have an amazing array of
talent.

I think some of you tonight are
going to have life-changing

moments.
I can feel it.

So, good luck to everyone.
Tyra: I feel it, too.

All right, from day one,
everything has been leading up

to tonight.
The triumphs, the tears, the

fears, the buzz, the pressure.
I mean, y'all, you know.

This season has been bananas.
Welcome to "America's got

talent" season 13.
Simon: Welcome.

Where are you from?
Portland, Oregon.

Nashville, Tennessee.
New Orleans, Louisiana.

Simon: What is the ultimate
dream?

For me to show my boys
nothing should prevent you from

making your dreams come true.
Tyra banks my god!

♪♪♪♪
Simon: I mean, it was

breathtaking.
Tonight, my journey is

finally beginning.
Wow!

We are street children, and
this is our dream to be here in

"America's got talent."
♪♪♪♪

There is no such thing, like
the American dream in our

country.
Simon: One of the most

incredible things I've ever seen
on any of these shows.

You're looking at me like you
never saw a trophy wife in los

Angeles before.
I'm sorry.

Howie: The beauty of the show
is that people come from all

over the world to show us things
we've never seen before, and you

did that.
My father, he was a rapper,

and, um, he died before I was
born.

Everybody, put your guns down.
Howie: You're a star!

♪♪ California dreamin', oh ♪♪
Simon: That's why I love this

show, when we find people like
you.

I like it when it goes dark.
Mel b.: Oh, my god.

Look.
Mel b.: I'm turning thisover.

Oh, my god!

Simon: There's something in
the air, season 13 "America's

got talent."
Heidi: Yes, oh!

Oh kprks ah!
[ Screaming ]

Heidi: No!
Mel b.: Howie, don't move!

Heidi: Oh, my god.

♪♪♪♪
[ Screaming ]

Heidi: Mind blown.
Mel b.: Yeah, I don't think I

could roll my eyes into my head
far enough.

[ Laughter ]
♪♪♪♪

Howie: Sir, you can't see a
wiener.

Is that you guys or is that
like an audio issue?

That was us.
Oh Tyra banks it is time for

judgment.
You are going to see

something you've never seen
before

before.
Heidi: Oh, my!

Simon: This show needs acts
like you.

From all of us to all of you.
♪♪♪♪

[ Screaming ]
I hope that I made you proud.

It's a dream come true to
follow two dolphins doing

whatever it is they were doing.
Mel b.: From start to end,

nail-biting.
Simon: If I had died during

this performance and this is
heaven, I'm happy, because

that's what it felt like.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Tyra: Whoa, what a ride it

has been, and tonight you will
vote for our winner.

So get ready, because.
Announcer: Coming up --

Mel b.: I love the crescendo
of this song, the way you're

taking it all the way to the
climax.

Heidi: Mike drop.
Oh, my god!

Mel b.: I feel like I was in
the theater watching your own

production.
Brilliant!

Simon: It was so good, so
dramatic.

This is witnessing star
♪♪♪♪

Tyra: The Internet is blowing
up.

People are all like, who's going
to win?

And everybody's got an opinion,
so go follow us on Twitter,

Instagram, or Facebook, and tell
America what you think, because

we care.
All right, ten acts, one

performance each, for $1
million.

Here we go.
We get a lot of musicians on

"agt," and this guy's passion
is -- you know what, I'm going

to let him tell you.
Here is Brian king Joseph.

My violin is the most
beautiful instrument in the

world.
There's something about it that

just gives me life.
When those strings are singing,

it's like another world.
I just close my eyes and I'm

there.
I've been through so much that I

can't even think of where my
life would be without having

that place to go to.
When I was diagnosed with

neuropathy, having my violin was
the escape.

It gave me a reason to smile.
Pain doesn't have power in that

place, and for a few minutes,
you don't have to think about

pain.
It melts away.

And that's why playing my violin
has always been like therapy.

It saved me.
And it's the reason why I'm

sitting here talking to America
right now.

Being on "America's got talent,"
it was like the start of this

huge fire inside of me that I
didn't even know, it was so

bright and so burning.
I've just come so far now, and I

just feel ready to go out there
and win.

Tyra: Whoa!

Come on out here, Brian!
Giving it everything!

Everything.
Howie, Howie, Howie.

I read lips.
Howie: It's amazing.

Tyra: You just said wow.
It's so loud in here, we can't

hear ourselves.
Howie: But I've got to say,

what an amazing -- I can't
believe that we opened the show

with what I would consider a
closer.

You know, that's the way you
need to close a show.

That was epic -- the production,
your playing, your performance,

the sound.
It was truly amazing, and that

was like a drop the bow moment,
you know?

I had to.
Howie: It was truly amazing.

You just set the bar for the
whole evening, young man.

Good luck to everybody else.
Awesome.

Thank you.
Tyra: Mel b.

Mel b.: Oh, Brian king, I
always get excited when I hear

your name because I know that
you are going to deliver.

You are 100% the best violinist
performer of all time, I think.

You are just -- you just ooze
confidence and excitement.

And you know what was really
cool?

The very start of when you
started your performance, we got

to see those eyes of yours.
Tyra: Yes!

Mel b.: They are so dreamy.
Hands down one of your best

performances.
Well done, my love.

Tyra: Heidi.
Thank you, Mel.

Thank you so much.
Heidi: Brian Joseph king,

you've fiddled yourself into the
finale.

You really, really did really,
really well.

You're so unique.
You're so lovable.

And I have my fingers and my
toes crossed for you.

Thank you.
Heidi: So, good luck.

Thank you.
Tyra: Simon.

Simon: Well, you know how to
make an entrance, don't you,

Brian?
I don't have much time.

I'm going to say, last week was
sensational.

This is better.
This is everything this show

should be, which is someone who
starts off good, ends up

amazing.
And I, look, I think you've got

a real shot here.
I think this show, I hope, will

change your life.
You deserve it.

And thank you for coming on our
show with your talent.

Wow.
Thank you so much!

I'll always improve.
Thank you, Simon.

Thank you all!
Tyra: So, you performed

"heartless."
kanye west, are you watching?

What do you way to say to him
and all your fans?

Take me on tour, kanye, let's

Tyra: To make it to the

finals of "agt," talent is not
enough.

You've also got to have a lot of
guts.

If you get knocked down, you
have got to get right back up

again, just like opera singer
Daniel Emmet.

Here on the stage, you have
to give everything.

Howie: This is the biggest
stage in the world for talent,

so tonight you have to rise to
the occasion.

My entire journey on
"America's got talent" has been

a fight.
From my very first audition,

when Simon threw me a
challenge --

Simon: You've got another
song?

No, I don't.
Simon: You can't come out on

a show like this and say you
haven't got a second song.

Every round has had a new
obstacle, and there have been

times that I have been close to
going home.

Simon: This is the hardest
decision.

You haven't made it through.
But it's made me stronger.

And now I've finally clawed my
way into the finals.

I'm just so excited to still be
here.

This is my last chance to show
America what I'm made of.

♪♪♪♪
this is the finals of

"America's got talent."
It means that I'm one

Mel b., he just told you you
look perfect tonight.

Mel b.: Oh, thank you so
much.

You're welcome.
Mel b.: You know what, I'm

glad you brought it back to your
original sound.

When you're speaking Spanish?
Is that Italian or Spanish?

Italian.
Mel b.: Italian.

I don't understand a word you're
saying, but I absolutely just

love it!
I love the way that you stretch

those notes out, the way you
roll your rs.

I am just in heaven right now.
Give me a minute.

Tyra: That was a good "r"
roll, Mel.

Heidi?
Heidi: Daniel, Daniel.

I mean, you really have had your
ups and downs, but you have been

unstoppable.
You've been a fighter.

You've been a great performer.
And you have the most beautiful

voice, and you have definitely
been one of my favorites this

season.
Thank you so much.

Heidi: So good luck to you.
Thank you.

Tyra: Simon, you know voices.
Simon: You needed that

performance, I think, not just
for the show, but for yourself,

so that whatever happens in this
competition, you couldn't walk

away on the big night saying, I
gave the best performance, which

you did tonight.
It was by far your -- it was

powerful.
It was just way better than last

week, apart from the jacket,
which isn't great.

Tyra: Wait, why don't you
like this jacket?

Heidi: I mean, let's not talk
about outfits with Simon.

Hello, right?
Tyra: The man that wears the

same thing every day?
Heidi: He should not talk

outfits.
Tyra: I agree.

Heidi: You should not, Simon
cowell.

Tyra: Howie?
Howie: You have fought and

you deserve to be here.
And what you did could probably

be considered perfection.
The luck of the draw is you have

to follow Brian, and we'll see
what comes next.

Hopefully, it does stick out,
but that's up to America.

They've got to vote.
Thank you.

Tyra: What do you want to say
to America?

And I'm going to challenge you
to sing it to them.

So, I can't help it.
I just, I love getting

My stripper name was pillow.

Don't laugh.
Don't laugh, Howie.

I was good.
The last night I worked, they

brought me up on this stage and
they retired my pole.

Of course, they had to.
It was bent.

It was all bent.
It looked like a silly straw.

I'm not kidding.
So, what I'm going to do, I'm

going to do something that
should be illegal, more illegal

than what I just did.
I mean, it should be a crime to

brag about your grandchild,
okay, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I can't help it.
I had lunch today with Timmy,

and he's in eighth grade.
Thank you.

Yes.
Yes.

Yes!
He's captain of the track team.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Academically number one in his
class.

Thanks.
And he's student body president.

Okay.
Okay, okay.

He's home-schooled.
But still.

You've got to encourage him,
right?

You've got to encourage him,
huh?

So, I'm so happy it's football
season!

Are we happy?
Yeah!

Right on.
I come from a big football

family.
My dad was Pete barbolak, and he

played for the Pittsburgh
steelers.

Thank you.
Thank you.

No, stop, I'm not bragging about
that.

I just wanted everyone to know
what the daughter of an NFL

football player looks like.
In case you never saw one up

close before.
Right on.

This is no padding.
This is all naturale.

Right on.
So, dad turned 80, and we had

his birthday party at Hooters.
Yeah.

Yeah, right.
Yes!

And he was so excited.
He takes off in his wheelchair,

right?
I had to chase him down to put

him in the Van.
And they don't take reservations

at Hooters, okay?
So I have to get there two hours

early.
And I sit down.

A little Hooters girl, she's
like -- sorry, Simon -- she's

like, "can I help you?"
And I'm like, "no, I'm just here

for the job application."
And she doesn't even laugh at

all, because you know, she is
that blond.

Yeah, I know, Heidi, we're good.
I see your roots.

I see your roots.
We're all good, right?

We're good.
So, but I'm sitting there for

two hours, ladies, and I'm
thinking to myself, why, why

don't we have anything like that
for us, right?

Yeah, right!
So, I want to open up

woodpecker's.
Yeah!

Right on.
Right on.

Yeah.
Yeah!

Yes!
Yes!

We'll just call it peckers for
short, okay?

Let's get out in the weeds,
grandma, all the girls, go down

to peckers, right?
And we're not going there for

the nice, hot packages, right?
No, no, we're going for the

food, right?
Yep.

I'll try that hot Italian
sausage.

Mm-hmm.
Foot-long salad looks pretty

good.
No?

You want to try that?
Want to try the shrimp?

No!
No!

No!
Peckers is going to be a

shrimp-free establishment.
No shrimp.

I got plenty of shrimp at home.
Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp.

I should feel like Forrest Gump!
Trailer nasty, everybody!

Thank you so much!
Thank you.

Thank you.
Tyra: Everybody's on their

feet for you, Vicki.
They're all on their feet for

you.
Get your funny, sexy butt over

here, lady.
No shrimp.

No shrimp.
No shrimp.

Tyra: Heidi, ours your feet
for this woman.

Tell us what you're feeling.
Heidi: Vicki.

Vicki, I love everything about
you.

You are hilarious.
And by the way, I do love this

woodpecker idea.
I would definitely be coming to

a pecker, because there is
nothing more than I love more

than a big, fat, German sausage.
Yes!

Heidi: I love German
sausages!

Tyra: Simon, save us!
Save us.

Well, I was going to ask what
are Hooters, but I think I just

worked it out.
Tyra: Simon, how do you not

know what Hooters are.
Howie: Hoosiers.

Simon: I'm english, but
whatever.

Can I tell you something?
Tonight you were brilliant.

Tyra: Brilliant.
Simon: Your clicks are

brilliant, and if any TV
producer is watching this and

wants an alternative to "the
Kardashians," that's the show.

But I am a TV producer.
Tyra: Yes, you are!

Your wheels are spinning for a
show, aren't you?

Simon: But this whole
community, these friends --

Tyra: Oh, you're thinking
reality.

Reality.
Simon: They're hilarious!

You're brilliant.
Tyra: Howie.

Howie: Well --
Mel b.: Well, I think we're

no longer a family show today.
I can't believe how you got away

with it and made it funny and
still edgy and still acceptable

and still a family show.
But I get your sense of humor,

you naughty girl.
I want to come to the

woodpecker, too.
I'm in.

Tyra: Howie?
Mel b.: Sorry.

Howie: I don't think there's
time, but you're great, your

best act yet.
Tyra: Good luck tonight,

Vicki.
We're all going to peckers,

after the show.
Thank you.

Tyra: You want Vicki to win?
Want to make peckers a reality?

You've got to vote for her and
keep voting.

And if you're hitting the calls,
land line calls are free, but

please remember, the numbers

There's nothing more important.

He's my life.
He's my life.

Without his support, I probably

I can see, I can tell in his

He is really proud.

There is a chance that I can win
this.

I believe that.
That's what I've been working

I know this is my time.

I know this is my moment.

musical version of "the greatest
showman," and if I was one of

the producers, I would be
auditioning you right now for a

I have to say, for me, you had

me at last week with that song.
It's all about song choices for

you.
To me, this song was very much

up there.
I wanted to see that soulfulness

coming out, but we're seeing it

Simon: I never dreamt that we

would find talent like this.
Absolutely sensational.

♪♪♪♪
Tyra: I have to declare a

very special act because they
are my golden buzzer, and they

all have amazing skills.
We know that.

But they also have total belief
in each other.

Here's zurcaroh.
I was born in Sao Paulo,

Brazil.
My friends were involved with

drugs and violence.
I could not save them.

And I lost them.
Dance changed my life.

Now I want to make a difference
in life for other people.

I want to reach people.
I want to show them that nothing

is impossible.
I want to show them that they

are able to fly.
Even if I wasn't able to do

something the best, I am able to
do something in the future.

He is like a father to all of
us.

Before zurcaroh, I've always
wanted to do some big things,

but I was afraid.
He taught me to trust myself and

to go for things that are
impossible.

Everyone has jobs.
I'm a teacher in a school.

Then we come together to the
training and we achieve the

extraordinary.
For the finals, we're going

to do the best performance we
ever did, and we're going to be

not just for America, but for
Peterson because he tells us to

follow our dreams.
And now we want to make his

dreams come true.

Tyra: That's my people!

Yes!
That's my zurcaroh!

Everybody's up for my zurcaroh!
I love it!

Come on down here.
Howie, you're on your feet.

Howie: This is -- they gave
us the world.

They inspired us to think that
the impossible is possible.

Tyra: Look at that!
Look at them.

This is so loud.
Howie: It's amazing.

O.m.g.
Tyra: Mel.

Mel b.: You know what, I
actually did not hear a word you

said!
Tyra: I didn't either.

Mel b.: Yeah!
You know what, I have a funny

feeling that you could actually
win this whole entire show.

I kid you not.
That's all I have to say.

Tyra: Heidi.
Heidi: This performance was

jaw-dropping.
It was absolutely amazing.

Every single one of you is
amazing.

But I have to say, all the
children are the icing on the

cake.
Watching you guys fly through

the air, it is absolutely
incredible.

I've said it before, and I'm
going to say it again, you guys

are ready for Vegas.
Tyra: Simon Cowell.

Simon: I'm going to say the
obvious here and say it was a

sensational performance.
Really.

What you do is you define the
word positivity.

And what I love about tonight is
not America's got talent.

It's more than that.
It's America welcomes talent, as

we've seen tonight.
And you guys throughout the

competition have been a
revelation.

Tyra: Good luck to all of
you, all my babies.

Remember, you can vote up to ten
times with the app, ten times

online, ten times on the phone
and ten times using your xfinity

x-1 voice remote.
Okay, are we going to keep it

moving?
Yes!

Yes!
Okay, next up is a comedian who

has faced some very tough
battles, but his motivation to

win is about as good as it gets.
He's Samuel j. Comroe.

Growing up, my mom was amazing.

She raised seven kids, and she
was superwoman.

She battled cancer for eight
years, and she passed away in

2012.
Before she passed away, she

wrote all of her kids a letter.
She said, "dear Sam, I'm very

proud of you.
You've become a wonderful young

man.
Always continue to work hard

towards your goals.
I know that you'll achieve

whatever you want to in life.
I'll always be with you in

spirit watching over you.
I love you.

Love, mom."
How many times have you read

that now?
I read it pretty much every

day.
When I got diagnosed with

tourette's syndrome, my mom was
the one that was always there

for me, and she would just tell
me to follow my dreams and not

let anybody or anything hold me
back.

Tourette's syndrome's genetic,
50% chance that my daughter

could have it, and I want to
make sure my daughter knows that

she's strong and she's beautiful
and she can do whatever she

wants to in life, and that's
because of all of the values my

mom instilled into me.
I want to raise my daughter to

have dreams.
And I think when she sees this

and she sees my journey on
"America's got talent," she's

going to believe in herself,
too.

She gets to see what happens
when you put your all into

something.
When I step out on that stage,

I'm going to make my family
proud and just win this thing.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Tyra: Whoo!
Okay, well, Samuel is going to

get his shot at the world's
biggest prize in just a couple

of minutes, so don't you move.

Yeah.
What up?

What up, people?
Yeah.

Yo, I met my wife.
I met my wife in high school

theater class.
We hate each other.

So the teacher put us in a group
because that's what teachers do.

And we had to do a skit where
she played a cop and I played a

robber.
Real quick, she was supposed to

say put your hands up and I put
my hands up and she said

"freeze!"
and I did my best to freeze and

she didn't know I had tourette's
and she got pissed off.

I never seen her so mad.
She put me against the wall and

said "freeze, fool!"
I was like, damn, I'm going to

marry this woman.
I like her passion.

We're a silly couple.
That's what makes us work.

I don't like couples that take
themselves too seriously.

I was walking and there was this
dude with his arm around this

girl and he was squeezing her
butt and he made eye contact

with me and decided in that
moment to squeeze harder.

Then he went like this to me, as
if to let me know, hey, man, I

squeeze butts.
And I didn't like that, because

it was like he was telling me
that I don't squeeze butts, and

I wanted to embarrass him and
make him feel uncool in the

moment, so when he went, I just
pretended to get shot.

He was like -- I said, no!
Damn it!

And then this dumb ass checked
his hand, like he forgot he

loaded it.
He came up to me afterwards, he

was like, oh, you're that funny
guy, you're that comedian with

tourette's, huh?
I don't even believe you have

tourette's.
I haven't heard you cuss once.

I was like, only 10% have that
kind.

Most people have what I have,
two different extremes, so when

I cuss you out, it's from the
heart.

[ Cheers and applause ]
It's because I hate you.

And I don't like rude people,
man.

I really don't.
Like, if you honk at me on the

street from now on, I'm going to
follow you home.

People don't believe me.
This is my job.

I don't do anything from 6:00
A.M. until 8:00 P.M.

I have a lot of time to follow
you home.

I don't like rude people.
I get offended in public when

someone's being rude.
I get offended for everybody,

even if I don't know you.
So from now on, from this day

forward, and I mean this from
the bottom of my heart, if I

open a door for you and you
don't say thank you, I'm pulling

you the hell back in.
[ Cheers and applause ]

You can stay inside until you
get some manners.

I don't like rude people, man.
A lady came up to me recently,

was like, how do you go to the
bathroom with tourette's?

I was like, what the heck?
That's a rude question, first of

all.
You don't have to add "with

tourette's" at the end of a
question.

He's always there, all right?
I haven't been like going to the

bathroom, tourette's, you stay
outside, I'm going to do this

and pick you up after.
Second it's crazy because you've

seen my twitch.
It's noticeable, but it's not

insane.
My body's not here and I'm

headbutting the judges.
It's not crazy.

I never once in my 30 years of
living walked into a public

restroom and just been like,
everybody move!

I have tourette's!
It's about to get messy.

Thank you, guys.
Thank you.

Tyra: Well, everybody is
moving because everybody left

their seat for you.
Wow!

Mel b., let's start with you.
Mel b.: I am smiling from ear

to ear.
My cheeks are hurting because I

was laughing so much.
You know what it is?

It's just the way that you style
out these jokes and you're

deliberate, and I can't believe
you can actually talk that long

without taking a breath.
You really honed in your work,

and you would pull that punch
line after punch line after

punch line.
You're amazing.

I think you're brilliant.
I love your swagger.

I love everything about you.
Tyra: Heidi Klum.

Heidi: Samuel, Samuel.
You won me over tonight.

You really have.
I think this was your best

performance this far, and I wish
you good luck for tomorrow.

Thank you so much.
Tyra: Simon?

Simon: I was just thinking,
because I'm not an expert on

this, but the great thing about
watching a comedian is you know

when they're good by the
audience reaction, and the

audience loved you tonight.
I could tell that.

And in addition, it's not just
you, Samuel.

Whereas a week ago, everyone was
literally dying because of their

nerves, you had a sharpness to
you tonight, along with

everybody else, which is a --
you want to win this, and I

respect you for that.
You've given yourself a shot

after that, I've got to tell
you.

Thank you so much.
Tyra: Howie, you are the

comedian expert, so what do you
have to say?

Howie: Well, I think it's all
subjective.

But I've got to tell you,
personally, I love you.

I thought you brought your "a"
game.

I thought America loves you,
this audience loves you.

That was your best act yet.
I think your mother is looking

down at you --
Tyra: Yes.

Howie: You're a great man, a
great comedian and deserving to

be here.
I wish you the best of luck.

I love you and your career just
took off tonight.

Tyra: All right, so, what is
going through this, your funny

bone right now?
Just this journey's been

amazing, and I said since the
beginning, I want to be the

first comedian to win this show,
and I think I just gave myself a

shot.
Tyra: I love it.

I'm going to drop that Mike, if
only I could right now.

I always dreamt of coming to

All my idols in the music I like

everything.

Welcome to the stage, the
godfather of soul, Mr. James

brown!
Walking along sunset strip,

before me, my idol hung out and
performed.

It's really inspiring.
First queen of rock 'n roll,

Janis joplin!
To be on stage and not care

what people thought about them,
and now I'm in front of them.

It's the best.
Mr. Otis Redding!

My idols have led me this
far, now I want to do my own

thing.
But I don't want to be Janis

joplin, Otis Redding or James
brown.

I just want to be myself.
So, I'm going to make this

performance my very own.
And because it's the finals, I'm

not going to hold anything back.
I'm going to give this song

everything I've got.
I hope one day people will go to

Maybe it will be you tomorrow.

You're like a trend-setter.

Without people like you, we

Here is shin lim.
♪♪♪♪

When I perform, I try to
bring music to magic.

With the movements and with my
hands and the cards.

When I was in college, I was
studying to become a concert

pianist.
Even though my main focus was

music, I always found myself
coming back to magic.

Two years into my music
education, I started to feel

pain in both of my wrists.
I found out that I had carpal

tunnel.
The doctor told me that I

couldn't do both piano and
magic.

I had to choose one.
Probably the toughest decision

of my life, but I had to choose
magic.

Looking back, that decision has
completely changed the direction

of my life.
In a really good way, yeah, the

best way.
It's taken me here.

And being in the final, I feel
so honored.

Winning would change my life
forever.

So, I know I have to show
America that I have what it

takes.
This is definitely the biggest

performance of my life, and I'm
not going to let it go to waste.

♪♪♪♪
I was 19 when I first

developed carpal tunnel in both
of my wrists.

Eventually, I had to quit
playing the piano and take what

used to be a hobby a little bit
more seriously.

And before I knew it, a new
passion had ignited.

Just like that.
Hey, Tyra, will you grab onto

it?
Roll it.

What do you see?
Tyra: Nine.

Can you show it to the camera?

Yeah.
All right, you can hold onto

them.
You said nine, right?

club with this dress.

I thought nine of clubs, but I
said hearts at the last minute.

Mel b.: But anything you

could have picked and you made

our top ten is going to start a

whole new life, and I'm looking
at you.

If you ever dreamed of being a
star, well, you can be, because

auditions for next season are
right around the corner.

We're going to be traveling to
cities all across this country,

and you can submit a video
online.

So, go to agtauditions. Com for
everything that you need to

know, because this time next
year, you could be up there, you

could be winning $1 million.
I mean, come on, how cool would

that be, right?
All right?

Okay, so, here is an act which
is a husband and wife, and

danger is at the heart of every
single thing they do.

And it's actually what brought
them together in the first

place.
They are duo transcend.

We met in a high-diving show.
We had to jump off this

cliff.
There was something about her

that was very intriguing to me.
She's beautiful.

She's fun.
She has this crazy personality.

I fell in love with him right
away.

We started performing a
trapeze act together.

Our relationship grew so strong
because she had to put so much

trust in me very quickly.
And then when we got married,

we put everything we had into
putting this act together.

Now we have a baby, and the
hardest part about that is we go

on the road and we have to leave
Jax at home.

Coming on to "America's got
talent" gave us hope that we

could have a show in Vegas, to
be with our son, to not have to

leave him to travel.
It would mean the world to us.

When we had the fall, I felt
like I failed.

That was probably the most
devastated I've ever felt.

To have her slip through my
fingers, I was so scared of

losing her.
But this journey shows you

that you don't give up.
You have to get back up and try

again.
Now we're in the finals.

It's the most important
performance of our lives.

We're going to take the biggest
risk we've ever taken.

We've always chosen to make
the leap.

That's part of who we are.
And we're not just doing it

for us.
We're doing it for our son.

We're ready to take the leap
of faith together.

That again, you've stepped it up
another level.

By far your best performance.
Simon: Mel, can I say

something?
Do not try this at home.

Tyra: You're right, do not
try this at home, no matter how

much you love each other.
So, you held him this time.

That shocked all of us.
Where does that emotional and

physical strength from km from?
Well, I trust him and he

trusts me and we both have to be
strong for each other.

And I just want to say, we are
so honored to be here with all

these performers.
Everyone that is here deserves

to win.
Everyone is so inspiring.

Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, everyone,

so much.
Tyra: Super sweet.

Okay.
Well, good luck.

stage, he also has a huge impact

on all kinds of people.
You know who he is, Michael

ketterer.
♪♪♪♪

What is going on in here?
So, I guess I'm going to hit

play.
All right.

To the world, you may be one
person, but to one person, you

may be the world.
Michael, I just want to thank

you from the bottom of my heart.
The care that you gave my son in

the hospital.
You gave me hope.

There were many days and
nights that I didn't think I

could make it through, and you
gave me strength.

I think what really bonded
our hearts to you forever was

when you walked with us through
the loss of our little girl.

Ten years ago, you wrote me a
letter encouraging me about

being a father.
We first met you in iv in

2011, I think it was?
We have two siblings we're

fostering right now.
You've been a major

inspiration to us.
Here we are years down the road,

and our lives have been changed
by adoption.

You are a man of character
and of kindness and of love.

Hi, Michael.
This is your friend, Josh.

I know you work at chops
hospital because I've been a

patient there my whole life, and
I'm so proud to say that you're

my friend.
I'm proud to say you're my

friend.
Dad, it's been my favorite

thing to watch you become such a
great dad.

You are just the best father.
And I love you so much.

Oh.
The best.

I love you, dad.
Dad, I love you so much.

When I grow up, I want to be
just like you.

Wow.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Tyra: All right, after the
break, he's got his shot at

his life.

Tyra: Simple, beautiful,

emotional.
Come here.

I saw that emotion.
I saw that.

Heidi.
Heidi: Michael.

I could hear your nerves today,
but you are a man with a lot of

heart, you're a man with a lot
of integrity, and you're a man

with a lot of talent, and I feel
like this also could be a

winning combination, so you
never know!

Tyra: Mel b.?
Mel b.: I mean, let's face

it, that was a very brave thing
to do.

You slipped it all the way back.
It was just you and the piano

and your voice, and that was it.
Now, I'm not sure if it

completely 100% worked or it
didn't work, but I know you --

[ audience reacts ]
Tyra: Hold on!

Mel b.: But I know you and I
know your integrity and I know

your voice.
It's not up to me, it's up to

America, but well done to be
that brave.

Tyra: Simon, we're going to
end it with you because we've

got a minute left.
Simon: Look, this has got

nothing to do with the golden
buzzer thing, Michael.

This has been an unbelievable
night.

The talent's been amazing.
It's the best final I've ever

been on.
Everyone's done an amazing job,

but I'm just going to say how I
feel, which is, I would love you

to -- I'd love -- I'd love to be
able to give your family the

million dollars and a chance,
because you're just an amazing

guy.
And so many people have spoken

about you.
You were nervous, but that makes

you human, and let's see what
happens, but you're a great,

great person, Michael.
Tyra: We have a couple of

seconds before we go.
A couple of words.

This song tonight I was
dedicating to my god because he

really has moved mountains and
he's parted seas to get to me.

Tyra: Tomorrow, we'll see

you, 8:00/7:00 central.

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