Five young girls who are.

Re-inventing girl-power - and.

The youngest is only ten.

They're here, bringing their.

Message to america -

We all started listening to.

Pop music when we were little.

My mom and I loved listening.

To the spice girls

we love girl bands.

We love girl power.

And we want to be just like.

Them

people think girls are all.

About princesses.

But we dream about being the.

Next big girl group.

It would be so cool to have.

People hear what w.

Some awesome competition

all the other acts are.

Amazing.

But we're not afraid.

Tonight we're going to bring our.

Own girl power to the agt stage.

Gforce, we got this.

Into the big cit.

Howie.

I've got to say the.

- Excitement of the first slide.
- Show, I can't think of a better.

Way to own it and open it.

You guys had so much internal,

I'm feeling the gforce

I'm filled with girl power which.

Is so weird for middle-aged bald.

Man.

America, you have to vote if you.

Want to see them

Gabrielle.

You guys came out,

You rocked it.

You showed what girl power is.

All about.

I'm so proud of you guys

Julianne

I love that you.

Guys are individuals, you're.

Unique in who you are but when.

You come together, you're so.

Powerful.

That was unbelievable.

Way to raise the bar

Simon.

I would say... how old.

Are you girls?

10 to what

10 to 13.

I didn't like the.

- Song, to be honest with you.
- Who wrote song.

We wrote the song.

Look, if you manage to.

Get through to the next round,

You've got about two weeks to.

- Find someone to write you a.
- Killer song.

The other thing I would say to.

You is you've got to stick.

Together for the next few years.

Because if this continues the.

Way you are, I would say two or.

Three years' time, you would.

Have a real shot in the real.

World.

But the song... I didn't connect.

With the song, I'll be honest.

With you

wait a second, who else.

Remembers that simon told them.

They needed to take more control.

Of their music and they should.

Write their own songs?

And that's what they did.

Thank you, good luck,

Gforce, good luck tonight.

This show is all about people.

Getting a shot at stardom and.

This guy has seized his with two.

Hands and a thousand voices.

He is greg morton.

My love of movies and comedy.

Started when I was young

I was 5 years old.

I went to see a movie with my.

- Dad.
- I was so excited.

We walked in there, and I.

Remember the smell of popcorn.

What a magical place

I loved movies so much when I.

Was a kid that I made over my.

Own room into a movie theater.

I would bring home movies from.

The library.

Black and white, silent films,

Cartoons, everything.

Then I would mimic the voices.

And I got pretty good at it.

I just knew that I was a.

Performer, and that was it.

- That's the way it was going to.
- Be.

But it's been a tough road for.

Me.

People thought I was crazy when

I told them my dream.

- But it's what I wanted to do.
- Since I was a kid.

So I'm not going to give it up.

And now I'm about to appear on.

The dolby stage, performing.

Before millions of people.

It's crazy

I guess this is the overnight.

- Sensation part they talk about,
- Right?

The overnight sensation that.

Took 40 years.

Did you miss me

I guess not.

They can take our lives but they.

Cannot take our freedom.

Donkey.

We're going to have so much fun,

We'll stay up telling manly.

Stories and in the morning I'll.

Make waffles.

Now, whatever you do, don't push.

This button.

No, that's the one that kills.

Everyone.

No.

I see dead people

that's just great.

Game over, man.

Game over.

What are we going to do now,

Man?

Why so serious?

Why so serious?

Don corleone

I'm going to make you an offer.

You can't refuse.

We did it!

We did it!

Show me the money, simon.

Show me the money!

Say it with me, simon, show me.

The money!

I'll be back

Greg morton, wow.

- Gabrielle.
- Greg morton, every.

- Time you hit this stage, you.
- Raise the bar.

Your brand of entertainment is.

So pure and so amazing.

It takes us all back to our.

Childhood, when we just loved.

Going to the movies and.

Everything was pure magic.

For you, sir, at 61, a dream.

Deferred is not a dream denied.

Way to go.

Thank you

Julian

I am sitting here.

At the edge of my seat waiting.

For everything you're going to.

- Do.
- This is the third time you've.

Come out here, and to keep.

Going, you have more than a.

- Thousand voices.
- This is unbelievable.

You are activating our.

Imagination and that is a true.

Artist

Simon.

Greg, from the very.

First time we met you, not as an.

Act but as a concern, we were.

Absolutely rooting for you

I had a concern prior to coming.

To the dolby whether you would.

Own the stage or not.

You completely proved me wrong.

Not only did you own the stage,

You control the stage.

- You didn't just step up from.
- Your previous audition.

You fought all these years to.

Get here, you got here, and I.

Hope the audience in their own.

Way shows it with their votes.

You deserve it - thank you

Howie.

The biggest variety.

Show on earth is right there.

You are the biggest variety show.

All in one man

thank you.

Good luck tonight.

After the break, we've got a.

Singer who's waited a very long.

Time for her shot.

And we got 63 high-kicking high.

School dancers.

You got to see it to believe it.

Our next singer has.

Waited so long and she's had to.

Fight so hard for her shot at.

Stardom.

Well tonight's the night.

Winning agt means a lot for all.

Our contestants, but for this.

Lady it would mean the whole.

World.

She is carmen carter.

I have so many pictures here.

You guys have saved everything

this is when you were just.

Two months.

Two months - yes, yes.

Every time we had a party or.

Some guest to come over, you.

Always wanted to be the one to.

Open the door and put on a show.

And she did.

As a child, carmen was a.

Headache

she was a migraine.

She would say, I got to do it.

My way

but she became a very caring.

And loving person.

- She's always wanted to become.
- A singer

- I remember, you were about 12
- Years old.

You got up there and you sang.

I sat there and cried.

I remember.

It has been heart-wrenching.

That she has not achieved her.

Dream to be the headline singer.

But now it's right there,

Because of "America's got."

Talent."

We are so unbelievably proud of.

- Her.
- She's our baby.

She's a star.

She's a star.

I love you guys so much, you.

Guys are the best ever

love you too, baby.

I'mma say all the word.

Inside my head.

Have been, oo.

The way that thing.

Don't you tell m.

What you think tha.

Im the master of my sea o.

- From a young age.
- Taking my sulkin.

For the fe.

That look at m.

Heartache from the pai.

Taking my messag.

- From the brain.
- Seeing the beauty through th.

- You made me a believer.
- Believer.

You build me up, believe.

Believer.

Let them rain.

My life, my love, my drive.

You made me.

You made me a believer.

Send a praye.

To the ones up above.

- Of the fire and the flames.
- You're the face of the futur.

- The blood in my veins,
- But they never did.

- Inhibited, limited.
- Till it broke open.

Pain - You made me.

Pain.

You break me dow.

Pain.

Let the bullets fly.

My drive, it came from.

Pain.

You made me

Carmen carter.

Simon.

When the song first.

Started I'm thinking, I'm not.

Sure this is the right choice.

Then halfway through, the whole.

Song kicked into a different.

Gear and then you saved the.

Money note 'til the end.

You made yourself cool,

- Relevant.
- And I preferred your package.

This time, which is rather than.

Complaining about not getting.

The breaks, you just did it your.

Own way, to say look, I really.

Do deserve a shot because I'm.

Really talented, give me another.

Shot

I hope the show changes your.

Life for the better, you deserve.

It.

Thank you, simon.

Tencht

Gabrielle.

From the first.

Time I heard you sing, I will.

Never forget carmen carter.

You are unforgettable, mama.

Julianne.

- Honestly,
- Everything you did, you took a.

Song that was so popular and.

Made it completely your own.

- Where that is a big risk because.
- It's so popular.

But you completely nailed it.

And you put your carmen twist on.

It - thank you

Howie.

The only question I.

Have, only seven people go.

Through, people got a vote

I don't know if that was the.

Best choice.

You're one of the best singers,

You deserve to go on.

Good luck tonight,

Carmen.

- Carmen needs your votes. You can.
- Vote up to ten times for each.

- Act with each of our voting.
- Methods.

Let's keep it moving.

Up now are 63 high school girls.

Hoping to high-kick their way.

Into the semi-finals.

They are the emerald belles.

As the mayor of the city of.

Southlake, what an incredible.

Day in our community.

We're so proud of these girls.

The southlake emerald belle.

Dancers.

Positive support that these.

Girls have received from our.

Entire community from across

America, and especially from the.

Agt judges.

Gabrielle.

You know, they say.

The best way to silence your.

Critics is to come out and give.

An amazing performance.

Listen to this crowd.

You guys killed it.

And I don't hear anything over.

There.

It's crickets from howie

Howie, what's up.

Okay, I've got to say,

Just made it really tough, not.

Everybody can go through.

Watched you online, but what I.

Needed - Simon.

World with a lot of information.

With all the bells and whistles.

And everything else.

You, a guitar, a beautiful

Lyric, a beautiful song, an.

Immaculate performance, silenced.

You won't believe what they're.

Going to do tonight.

It's the messoudi br.

Tomorrow night, we'll.

Find out which acts are going.

Through to the semi-finals.

Only seven will make it... which.

Means five will be outta here.

It is gonna be an intense night.

And check this... we've got.

Three past agt superstars.

Performing together...

Brian king Joseph, sofie dossi.

And bianca ryan!

And it gets better... last.

Everybody's mind all over again.

And he's gonna have jay leno.

With him... that is going to be.

One crazy night, tomorrow at

8/7 central!

Okay, at this year's auditions,

These three brothers had

Julianne and gabrielle up on.

Their feet way before the end of.

Their act.

And it wasn't just cause they.

Ripped their shirts off halfway.

Through... they have truly sick.

Strength and skills.

They are the messoudi brothers

growing up, all our life, we.

Looked up to our dad.

- We never knew we could achieve.
- Things like this.

He gave us that attitude.

You have to work hard for it and.

Keep going.

We trained ours to actually.

Become superhuman.

We grew up together, we do.

Everything together.

We do trust each other with our.

Lives, basically

we were rehearsing and I.

- Suddenly felt like we were.
- Shaking.

And then everything just.

Collapsed.

When something like that.

Happens, you can't let it get to.

You.

If you have fear, then things.

Get dangerous.

What we do, we put a lot at.

Stake.

And there's a lot at stake if we.

Fail

our father taught us to fight.

Through any obstacle that comes.

In our way.

Whatever it takes to do,

Whatever has to be done, we're.

Going to do it.

Gladiato.

With the god

I'm the giant slayer.

Freight trai.

Wrecking bal.

You think you believ.

Caught in a cross fire

I feel that gold underneat

I see the locked doors.

Just to catch your breat

'cause I can see

I know you gave it all

'cause I've already seen.

Gladiato.

With the god

I'm the giant slayer.

Freight trai - Wrecking bal.

To fight

I've got every reaso.

With the devil in the nigh.

Gladiato.

With the god

I'm the giant slayer.

Freight trai.

Wrecking bal.

Picked a fight.

With the god.

Freight trai.

Wrecking bal.

Messoudi brothers!

Gabrielle.

Sexy, hello!

Good job, guys.

Good job

Julianne.

The sexy was on a.

Whole other level.

I'm literally watching you guys.

And my fingers are contorting.

- Because I have so much anxiety.
- Watching you.

The danger and risk factor is so.

Beyond

I don't know how you guys came.

Up with outdoing yourself, but.

You did it

thank you very much

Simon.

Your film before made.

It more interesting because it.

Showed what could happen.

However, for me, the end missed.

Something more dangerous, I.E.

If you were to fall into a tank.

Of piranhas, sharks, crocodiles,

Something where we think if.

You'll fall over, they'll die.

I think if they had fallen.

Over, they would have died

they would have fallen on a.

Piece of plastic.

It needed something bigger at.

The end.

- All right, messoudi.
- Brothers, good luck tonight,

Guys.

The guys are relying on you.

Keep their dream alive

your voices, your abilities.

Thank you.

I'm going to remember this.

Mome.

- Here are four.
- Soldiers who have already given.

- More than most for their.
- Country, and they're not done.

- Yet.
- Tonight, they are performing.

- With a chorus of active and.
- Retired personnel, representing.

All five branches of the.

Military.

They are voices of service

there are men and women who.

Have given their lives just to.

See this great country prosper.

We have free speech, we have.

Freedom of the press.

We have fought for that.

Freemd.

Freedom.

It costs a lot for those.

Freedoms.

People focus a lot on the war,

- But what we should focus on is.
- The warrior.

Every man and woman who pledges.

To protect the stars and.

Stripes, that's why we're called.

Voices of service.

We are the voice for those.

People who cannot speak for.

Themselves

the american flag is the.

Brightest beacon of freedom in.

The world.

As we sing, we want to.

Encourage people to focus on the.

Servicemen and women deployed.

Overseas, their families and our.

We won't stop until your mothers.

We're on fire.

We're on fire.

Stand up, get up, welcome to the

give it up for voices of.

Service and the military chorus.

- Howie?
- My god.

I can't sit down

I just want to... I just want to.

Salute you for your service.

I want to salute you for your.

Talents and for just... keep.

Going.

It's up to america

simon

I could sum up with one word.

Which is inspirational.

And I've always felt that way.

About you.

And here's the exciting thing.

About you, I think the public.

Are going to vote you forward to.

The next round and I believe.

Going forward into a later.

Round, you're capable of coming.

Up with a song which could.

Literally stop the traffic with.

Your voices.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

Gabrielle

- thank you so much for your.
- Service.

Thank you so much for your.

Service.

Your voices, they're such a.

Blessing for so many people who.

Are struggling and who are.

Facing trauma and to know that.

People care and are using their.

Voices to shine a light on what.

They're going through is huge.

Please, please vote for them

thank you

julianne?

There's a line in one of the.

First verses that you said,

Belong to a tribe and.

Immediately I got chills because.

When we think of it collectively.

As a world, we are all one.

Tribe.

Voices of service, would you.

Say this is your calling

it is most definitely our.

Calling and we have the great.

Privilege of being able to speak.

For those who can't speak for.

Themselves and we want to keep.

Going and we want to keep.

Inspiring and lifting everyone.

Up.

God bless you and thank you for.

Having us.

Good luck tonight, everybody.

Crazy.

Simon cut me in my first.

Audition.

- And in the judge cut, he got me.
- Again.

I'm sorry to tell you, you're.

Not going through to the live.

Shows.

I'm really sorry

it was really heartbreaking

- practice, practice, focus,
- Focus.

On twitter they were mad at

Simon and the judges, which.

- Simon made me feel a little bit.
- Better.

And then I find out simon wanted.

Me to be a wild card

- [ screaming.
- I'm a wild card, simon chose me.

To be the wild card, happy.

Dance!

I'm really excited but I'm.

Here's alex dowis.

I was born in prague in the

Czech republic.

Growing up during communism,

Life is hazard everything was.

Great.

We didn't know the world outside.

Our borders.

When I was a teenager, the.

Borders were open.

Measure culture could come in.

That's when I discovered art and

I loved it

I couldn't stop.

I wanted to paint constantly

I felt like my life was just.

Starting.

In this moment, I could express.

Myself.

After a few years I was.

Interested in theater, I learned.

So the subway to do something.

The next level

I never imagined I would be on.

The biggest stage in the world.

It means everything for me

America inspires me when I was.

Young.

And now tonight I hope to show.

Something america will love.

This was a big bang.

The beginning of the universe.

So remember to look up at the.

Stars and not down at your feet.

And wonder about what makes a.

Universe exist and however.

Difficult life may seem, there.

Is always something you can do.

And succeed at

Alex dowis

Simon.

Alex, I mean, you are.

Undoubtedly, unbelievably.

- Talented.
- I'm going to be honest with you,

I didn't get goosebumps this.

Time because it felt a little.

- Like being in the science museum.
- As a kid.

- If the narrative had come in.
- Earlier, it would have made it.

More emotional and more.

Impactful.

But there's no denying what you.

Have is a unique talent.

It just didn't hit me like you.

Did the last time.

[ Audience reacts.

Shut up.

Gabrielle.

I have to.

- Disagree, you inspired the whole.
- Audience.

You took us from the big bang.

Theory.

Theory - It was beautiful.

Way to go.

It would be you.

You just showed us something.

Now we've learned something and,

Thing.

For me it's going to a broadway.

The billboards, the lights, the.

Marquee.

It's just imagine sal.

I was only 6 when I saw my first

Broadway show.

That moment changed my life.

- Forever.
- Seeing the actors, hearing all.

- The music.
- After that I knew I wanted to be.

On that stage.

I feel like sarah burress.

Tweeted about me and my agt.

Performance.

There was a part of me that just.

Wanted to jump up and down and.

Scream, which I may have done.

And now I'm here at the dolby.

Theater in the live show of.

"America's got talent."

This is absolutely crazy

I am so nervous.

But this is my chance to make.

The dream that I've had since I.

Was 6 years old come true.

Like nobody was ther.

Have you ever felt forgotten.

Like you could disappear.

Like you could fal.

Someone will come runnin.

Luke islam

Julianne.

First of all, luke,

You did not disappoint with that.

Golden buzzer because what you.

Just did right now proved what.

An incredible voice, what an.

Incredible performer you are.

And I want to point out you are

12 years old.

What in the heck.

That voice is undeniable

I am so proud that you were my.

Golden buzzer.

I love you

thank you so much, I love you.

Too.

Simon.

It's nerve-wracking to.

Stand there.

For you, young man, to come back.

At your age with that confidence.

And that poise and that control,

And there were moments, I'm.

Going to watch that back tonight.

To make me realize how good you.

Are, because that shouldn't come.

From you at 12 years old.

And you know who you are and.

Where you want to go.

And that to me is so important.

- You've done yourself really.
- Proud.

Well done.

Thank you so much

Howie.

People love this show.

- They ask me why do you think it.
- Does so well

I think it's because we're.

Watching people's dreams come.

- True.
- I think we just watched your.

- Dream come true.
- I predict you're going to be on.

- A broadway stage, you'll be.
- Starring.

Thank you so much

Gabrielle.

The whole world.

Just fell in love with you again.

- And again and again.
- Please vote.

He is amazing, you guys.

He is truly, truly amazing

So much to me.

Luke, how has your.

Life changed since you got your.

Golden buzzer from julianne?

So many new opportunities.

Have opened to me.

I am so grateful and thankful.

I can't believe that I'm here.

Right now.

Thank you so much.

You were awesome.

Good luck tonight, luke.

Remember, all of tonight's acts.

Are depending on you.

So you gotta vote!

Voting is open now.

Okay, backstage, one of the most.

- Dangerous acts we've ever seen.
- Is getting ready.

Just look at that.

A red-hot chain is never a good.

- Thing.
- One of the most dangerous acts.

We've ever had is up next.

At the auditions,

Howie said this next act was the.

Most dangerous he's ever seen.

They stepped it up for.

Judge cuts, and now they've.

Gotta go one better again.

Buckle up, people... and do not.

Try anything you see here at.

Home.

Here's bir khalsa.

Bir calkhalsa was formed by.

- Friends who had been performing.
- For years.

One of us had to leave.

They did not know they could go.

On.

But "America's got talent" is.

- Too important.
- So they found a replacement.

Me.

Since I'm new to the group, it.

Creates a lot of challenges.

I'm so nervous becausei have s.

Much to learn for this.

Performance.

The tiniest twitch could result.

In disaster.

But we have been practicing.

Nonstop, day and night, because.

We are ready to show the most.

Dangerous act in "America's got."

"Talent" history.

I hope that I'm ready.

Bir khalsa.

Whoa

Simon.

You want me to start.

- Yes.
- I have to say first of.

All, with anyone at home with a.

Chainsaw and a cucumber, don't.

Try this at home.

Second thing I would say is,

We're always trying to give.

People advice what to do on the.

Back of this show.

And I would say, if you could.

Somehow... you know how they do.

The knives on qvc and the home.

Shopping network.

This would sell those knives.

It was fantastically crazy

thank you

Howie.

This is everything I.

Love about this show, it's.

Dangerous, it's funny, it's.

Crazy, it's relatable.

When you started with the.

Cucumber, I'm a dude, I have.

Such memories.

Howie.

What a night

Gabrielle.

I did not think.

You guys could find a way to up.

The danger, up the wow factor.

- And you absolutely knocked it.
- Out of the park.

Way to go.

Thank you, thank you!

Julianne.

You crushed it out.

Of the park.

My gosh.

I had chills.

That was unbelievable.

Bir khalsa.

Do you guys ever get nervous

no.

Never.

Never be nervous because we are.

Focused and we have that.

Precision through our practice.

Good luck tonight,

Bir khalsa.

Golden buzzer.

Gabrielle, why did you choose.

This guy

since he was born, we had to.

Take him out in the sunlight.

We took him to a specialist and.

He said, your son is blind.

It was scary to a first time.

Mom.

Then they said we think he may.

Have autism.

And I didn't know what to do.

You see, the future for your.

Kids, and I didn't see any of.

That.

The things that made kodi really.

Happy was music.

That's what happened, was the.

Hope.

It was something of his own that.

Gave him joy.

And I was like, now I know how.

To help you as your mom.

- I'm going to remember.
- This moment for the rest of my.

Life - thank you.

He taught me anything is.

Possible.
