THEIR DREAM.
AND THIS YOUNG SINGER IS
DEFINITELY DOING THAT!
IT'S KENADI DODDS.
HEY, DAD.
YOU READY?
- >> YES
- WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST?

BEING WITH KENADI HERE ON "AGT"
IS A DREAM COME TRUE AS A
PARENT
THIS IS WESTERN TOWN.
I'M REALLY GRATEFUL
KENADI LOVES SINGING
EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T SEE HER, I
CAN ALWAYS FEEL HER HEART.
TO ME, MUSIC PAINTS A PICTURE
INSIDE MY HEAD
AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO
PAINT SUCH BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
LIKE KENADI.
I'M SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF HER
SORRY.
I'M ONLY ONE PERFORMANCE AWAY
FROM THE FINALE OF "AMERICA'S

KENADI DODDS BEFORE THE BREAK.
WHAT DID YOU THINK
- WAS IT WORTH A SPOT IN THE
- FINALS
LET'S CHECK IN WITH THE JUDGES
HOWIE.
Howie: I TRULY, UNLIKE WHAT I
SAID THE LAST TIME YOU WERE ON,
FOR ME THIS PERFORMANCE WAS A
HUGE STEP UP, IT REALLY WAS.
AND I THINK STRATEGICALLY,
PICKING A SONG THAT'S ALREADY A
GREAT SONG AND YOU ADDING
YOURSELF TO IT, YOU WERE
BEAUTIFUL, YOU SOUNDED
BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU JUST MADE
AMERICA'S JOB A LITTLE TOUGHER
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Terry: SOFIA.
Sofia: I FELT THE SONG WAS
THE PERFECT SENTIMENT FOR THE
NIGHT, I LOVED IT.
I LOVED IT MORE THAN YOUR LAST
PERFORMANCE, THE DREDS, YOUR
- HAIR - YOU WERE SINGING LIKE A
CONFIDENT POP STAR
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Terry: HEIDI.
Heidi: WE HAVE SO MANY
AMAZING ACTS THIS SEASON
AND A LOT OF THEM ARE YOUNG
SINGERS, THE SAME LIKE YOU
AMERICA WILL HAVE SUCH A HARD
TIME BECAUSE YOU JUST GAVE SUCH
A STELLAR PERFORMANCE JUST NOW
- I LOVE YOU, I THINK YOU'RE
- FANTASTIC.
I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK
THANK YOU SO MUCH, HEIDI.
Terry: KENADI, YOU'VE COME A
LONG WAY SINCE THE AUDITIONS
- YOU ARE NOW ONE STEP AWAY FROM
- THE FINALS
HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?
OH, MY GOODNESS
BEING A SMALL TOWN GIRL FROM
UTAH, IT'S NOT SOMETHING MOST
PEOPLE MY AGE DREAM ABOUT.
SO THE FACT THAT I'M HERE IS
JUST AMAZING AND A BLESSING IN
ITSELF
Terry: YOU ARE AMAZING.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
- KENADI
- YOU CAN KEEP KENADI'S DREAM
ALIVE!
XFINITY CUSTOMERS, YOU CAN VOTE
USING YOUR XFINITY FOR "AGT" ON
XFINITY VOICE, VOICE REMOTE.
- JUST SAY "VOTE FOR AGT" AND CAN
- ALL VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR
- EVERY ACT WITH EACH OF THE
- VOTING METHODS
LET'S KEEP IT GOING.
THIS NEXT ACT CONSIDERS HIMSELF
- LUCKY TO BE ON "AGT," BUT IS I
- LUCK OR SOMETHING ELSE
TO EXPLAIN, HERE'S MAX MAJOR
MAKING IT TO THE SEMIFINALS
HAS MADE ME FEEL SO GRATEFUL,
BUT ALSO VERY LUCKY.
SOME MIGHT ASK IS THERE ANYTHING
A PERSON CAN DO TO MAKE
- THEMSELVES LUCKY
- PERHAPS LUCKIER.
HERE IS A SIMPLE EXPERIMENT THAT
SHOULD WORK ON MOST OF YOU
QUICK, I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE TWO
SIMPLE GEOMETRIC SHAPES LIKE A
SQUARE AND A RECTANGLE
BUT DON'T USE MY EXAMPLE
- PICTURE ONE OF THOSE SHAPES
- AROUND THE OTHER
SEE THIS IN YOUR MIND.
ARE YOU THINKING OF A TRIANGLE
INSIDE A CIRCLE?
YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU?
- PERHAPS I JUST GOT LUCKY
- MAYBE.
MAYBE NOT.
LUCK IS A GAME
WHAT ARE THE ODDS I END UP HERE,
IN THE SEMIFINALS OF "AGT"
FIVE MONTHS AGO I HAD GOTTEN
BACK TO PERFORMING AFTER A
- FIVE-YEAR BATTLE WITH CHRONIC
- ILLNESS.
I HAD MISSED ALL THE
OPPORTUNITIES TO AUDITION FOR
- "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.
- THEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, AN EVENT
OF A LIFETIME.
"AGT" OPENS ONLINE AUDITIONS
I AUDITIONED
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY AUDITIONERS
MAKE IT THIS YEAR?
0.1%
INFLUENCE IS THE ABILITY TO
INFLUENCE THOUGHTS TO CONTROL AN
OUTCOME.
HOW MANY OF YOU THOUGHT OF A
- TRIANGLE INSIDE A CIRCLE
- EARLIER?
- WAS THAT A LUCKY GUESS ON MY
- PART
MY QUESTION TO YOU, IS ANYTHING
REALLY LEFT TO CHANCE?
- THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING ME
- BACK
THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, BEING HERE IN THE
SEMIFINALS FEELS LIKE WINNING
THE LOTTERY.
HEIDI, SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST
OPPORTUNITY TO GET INSIDE YOUR
MIND, I THOUGHT WE COULD PLAY A
QUICK GAME
IF YOU COULD, GRAB A POKER CHIP
OFF THE TABLE.
STAND HERE AND FACE ME
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE CHIP
- BEHIND YOUR BACK, GET IT INTO
- ONE OF YOUR HANDS.
WHEN YOU'RE READY, BRING YOUR
HANDS OUT WITH YOUR FISTS CLOSED
AND GIVE ME YOUR BEST POKER
FACE
Heidi: ARE YOU READY?
I'M READY
WHAT WOULD HEIDI DO?
IT'S IN YOUR LEFT HAND
HOLD IT UP
IT'S JUST ONE.
- [ APPLAUSE ]
- I COULD BE LUCKY
TAKE IT BEHIND YOUR BACK
WE'LL PLAY A FINAL ROUND
- MIX IT AROUND BETWEEN YOUR
- HANDS.
YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO GO LEFT
AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE TOO
OBVIOUS, BUT IT'S UP TO YOU.
AS A MATTER OF PERSONALITY I ASK
MYSELF WHETHER SHE WOULD KEEP IT
IN THE SAME HAND OR SWITCH
- YOU SWITCHED, RIGHT HAND
- HOLD IT UP
ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S TWO
- [ APPLAUSE ]
- ALL RIGHT.
- I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE WAY
- THAT YOU THINK NOW
SO LET'S KEEP THINGS GOING WITH
A SIMPLE GAME OF ROULETTE.
HEIDI, I WOULD LOVE YOU TO PLAY
DEALER, IF YOU COULD STEP BEHIND
- THE TABLE, TOSS THAT CHIP ON THE
- TABLE.
HOWIE, SOFIA, I WANT TO GET YOU
IN ON THE ACTION
ON THIS TABLE ARE THE NUMBERS 1
THROUGH 36
BUT BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BETS,
IN A MOMENT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU
TO TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS AND
CHOOSE THE NUMBERS THAT FEEL
- RIGHT TO YOU
- NOW, I'M GOING TO PLACE A BET OF
MY OWN BEFORE WE START
AND TONIGHT, I'M GOING ALL IN.
HEIDI, AS THE JUDGES CALL OUT
THEIR NUMBERS, IF YOU COULD PICK
- THEM UP AND PLACE THEM ON THE
- BOARD ONE AT A TIME SO EVERYONE
AT HOME CAN FOLLOW ALONG
Heidi: OKAY
HOWIE, BE SPONTANEOUS
NAME A NUMBER 1 TO 26.
Howie: 22
SOFIA, NAME A NUMBER, ONE TO
00:20:09,606 --> 00:20:12,025
Sofia: 10
HEIDI, I WANT YOU TO CHOOSE A
NUMBER FOR YOURSELF.
BE RANDOM.
Heidi: I PICK 4
TERRY, WHY DON'T WE GET YOU
IN ON THE ACTION
CALL OUT A NUMBER, 1 THROUGH 36.
Terry: 15
LET'S TAKE THINGS A STEP
FURTHER AND GET OUR AUDIENCE
- INVOLVED
- CAN WE BRING UP A RANDOM SECTION
OF THE AUDIENCE?
HEIDI, BEHIND US HERE WE'VE GOT
SOME MEMBERS OF OUR AUDIENCE
IF YOU COULD POINT TO ANYONE
- THAT YOU WANT, IT'S TRULY YOUR
- CHOICE
Heidi: I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE
THE FAMILY ON THE LEFT IN PINK
THE FOUR LADIES IN ALL PINK,
YES?
COULD YOU GUYS UNMUTE YOUR
MICROPHONE SO WE CAN ALL HEAR
- YOU.
- >> HI.
UNMUTE YOUR MICROPHONE, IF
YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
MOM, CALL OUT A NUMBER FROM 1
THROUGH 36
- >> 24.
- >> 24 FOR HER UP ON THE BOARD.
THE YOUNG LADY TO YOUR RIGHT,
CALL OUT A NUMBER, ANY ONE YOU
- WANT - >> 14.
- >> THANK YOU, GUYS
- GOOD LUCK.
WE NOW HAVE SIX NUMBERS CHOSEN
AT RANDOM.
ALL BETS ARE IN.
IT'S TIME FOR THE BIG MOMENT
FEELING LUCK QUESTION?
Heidi: YES.
HERE WE GO.
HEIDI, I'LL GIVE THE WHEEL A
SPIN
IF YOU COULD PICK UP THE BALL, I
- WANT YOU TO ROLL THE BALL AROUND
- THE RIM, GIVE IT A ROLL.
WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE, WHO'S
GOING TO BE OUR BIG WINNER
TONIGHT?
Heidi: WHO IS IT GOING TO BE?
LET'S SEE
LUCKY NUMBER, WHAT DO WE GOT
Heidi: 13
WHO CHOSE 13?
- >> Heidi: NOBODY - >> NOBODY?
I KNEW THIS WOULD APPEN.
YOU SEE, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
TOO EASY, BECAUSE WHILE ALL OF
YOU WERE HOPING FOR 1 AND 36, I
WAS GOING FOR 1 AND A MILLION.
HEIDI, STEP AROUND THE FRONT OF
THE TABLE, PICK UP MY WALLET,
STAND NEXT TO THE ROULETTE WHEEL
- THERE.
- I ALREADY SAID I WAS ALL IN.
THAT'S BECAUSE BEFORE THE SHOW I
PLACED AN ACTUAL BET
I WANT YOU TO OPEN MY WALLET
YOU'LL FIND A ZIPPERED POCKET.
- REACH INSIDE AND FIND A SMALL
- SLIP OF PAPER.
- THAT'S NOT JUST ANY PIECE OF
- PAPER.
IT'S A LOTTERY TICKET.
OPEN IT UP AND HOLD IT TOWARDS
THE CAMERA AND READ THE NUMBERS,
ONE DIGIT AT A TIME TO EVERYONE.
Heidi: WHAT DO WE HAVE?
WE HAVE A 4, A 10, A 14, A 15,
AND A 22
AND THE POWER BALL.
Heidi: 24
YES
4, 10, 14, 15, 22, AND 24.
THAT'S ALL SIX NUMBERS
- [ APPLAUSE ]
- BUT THAT'S NOT ALL
THAT'S NOT ALL
AFTER MY LAST ACT, I WROTE
MYSELF A LITTLE REMINDER,
SOMETHING I DIDN'T WANT TO
- FORGET
- SOME GOOD ADVICE I WAS GETTING
WHAT DOES IT SAY ON THE BACK OF
THE TICKET
Heidi: IT DOES GO BIGGER.
SOFIA TOLD ME I HAD TO GO
EVEN BIGGER.
SOFIA, I TOOK YOUR ADVICE QUITE
- LITERALLY.
- TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT I DID
EARLIER.
I'M HERE TO MAKE MY BOLDEST
- PREDICTION YET IN A VERY PUBLIC
- WAY.
I'M TAKING A BIG RISK WITH THIS.
BUT I GOT A BILLBOARD WITH SOME
NUMBERS THAT I'M HOPING BY NOW
WILL MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU
LOOK AT THE NUMBERS ON THE
BILLBOARD.
4, 10, 14, 15, 22, 24.
THAT'S ALL SIX
- THERE WAS ONE MORE NUMBER THAT
- NOBODY CHOSE
WHAT DOES ROULETTE LAND ON
Heidi: 13
13.
THIS IS A REAL BILLBOARD YOU CAN
GO AND SEE RIGHT NOW AT
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, HOLLYWOOD
SHARE YOUR PHOTOS WITH #AGT.
EVEN WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ALL
- UP TO CHANCE, YOU CAN ALWAYS
- TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
I'M MAX MAJOR.
GOOD NIGHT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU, HEIDI
Terry: MAX MAJOR, THANK YOU
SO MUCH, HEIDI
SOFIA, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF
THAT
Sofia: IT WAS I THINK A VERY
RISKY TRICK BECAUSE IT WAS VERY
COMPLICATED.
WE WERE CONFUSED A LITTLE BIT,
CONCENTRATING.
SO I THINK YOU DID STEP IT UP A
NOTCH AND YOU MADE IT HARDER
BUT A LITTLE CONFUSING
OKAY, I'M TALKING NOW, OKAY?
Howie: I KNOW
Sofia: MY REAL QUESTION IS,
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE SHOES
AGAIN?
IT'S JUST HOW I FEEL
CONNECTED TO THE WORLD
Howie: CONFUSING.
- >> Sofia: THAT'S VERY CONFUSING
- TO US.
Terry: HOWIE.
Howie: NOW I'M TALKING.
- >> Sofia: GO AHEAD
- >> Howie: THIS IS THE ONE
PROBLEM I SOMETIMES HAVE WITH A
LOT OF MAGICIANS, A LOT OF
TALKING AND LESS MAGIC
THERE WAS SO MUCH TALKING, MY
IT'S MY ADD, I WAS CONFUSED.
WE WERE BOTH ASKING EACH OTHER,
WHAT DID THEY SAY, WHAT'S
SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPENING
WE WERE CONFUSED
I DON'T THINK IT WAS A STEP UP
- BUT IT'S NOT UP TO ME, IT'S UP
- TO AMERICA
IF YOU DON'T AGREE, VOTE
Terry: HEIDI, DID YOU AGREE
- >> Heidi: I DON'T UNDERSTAND
- WHAT YOU GUYS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
EVERYONE PICKED A NUMBER AND IT
WAS SUPER RANDOM, EVEN ME
THROWING THE BALL, IT LANDED ON
ALL THE NUMBERS THAT HE
- PREDICTED BEFORE
- WHAT ARE YOU GUYS NOT GETTING?
I THINK THAT EVERY TIME YOU COME
UP WITH SOMETHING NEW, I THINK
THAT YOU'RE WORTHY OF A SHOW IN
LAS VEGAS.
THANK YOU
Heidi: AND I THINK YOUR
ASSISTANT WAS TERRIFIC
Howie: THE BILLBOARD IS
- BIGGER
- >> Terry: THANK YOU SO MUCH,
- MAX.
- GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.
- MAX'S FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS
- RIGHT NOW.
VOTING IS ALREADY OPEN NOW AND
CLOSES AT 7AM EASTERN TOMORROW
USE THE AGT APP.
GO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Announcer: COMING UP.
YOU SANG THIS FLAWLESSLY.
CRISTINA RAE, YES
WHAT IF SOMETHING I DO WRONG?
I DIE
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IF
I'M NOT
Terry: IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON FOR THE
ACTS AS THEY GO THROUGH THE
BIGGEST NIGHT OF THEIR SEASON SO
FAR, FOLLOW US ON TWITTER,
INSTAGRAM OR FACEBOOK @AGT
CATCH UP WITH THEIR
PERFORMANCES, SEE THE REACTION
IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE
OK, OUR NEXT ACT IS OVER IN
- GERMANY.
- THEY HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY
TALENT WHICH DEFINITELY RUNS IN
THE FAMILY!
IT'S THE BELLO SISTERS
OUR PARENTS WERE BOTH AMAZING
- PERFORMERS
- THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE
THEY WORKED VERY HARD.
IT MOTIVATED US TO PUSH
- OURSELVES TO BE BETTER
- >> THEY WERE PERFORMING ALREADY
WHEN I WAS PREGNANT BECAUSE THEY
WERE DOING EVERYTHING IN MY
- STOMACH.
- WHEN THEY WERE REALLY SMALL, SHE
WAS ALWAYS DANCING
SHE LOVES EVERYTHING THAT WAS
DANGEROUS.
JOLENE WAS ALWAYS IN A
- HANDSTAND.
- I KNOW THEY LOVE WHAT THEY'RE
DOING AND THEY PUT EVERYTHING
INTO IT.
PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATE WOMEN LIKE
US TO DO THINGS THAT REQUIRE
GREAT STRENGTH
WE SHOW IT IN A MORE ELEGANT
- WAY.
- WE SMILE
WE DANCE
WE MOVE.
IT'S A LOT OF THINGS AT THE SAME
TIME THAT WE DO.
PEOPLE OFTEN FORGET THE STRENGTH
THAT IT ACTUALLY REQUIRES.
SHE'S HOLDING BOTH OF US
TOGETHER, WE'RE 240 POUNDS SO
IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS
BUT WE'RE WOMEN, WE CAN DO A LOT
OF THINGS AT ONE TIME.
WHEN WE SEE THE GIRLS
PERFORMING, FOR US IT'S
EVERYTHING
IF THEY GET THROUGH THE FINALS,
IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE.
I'M PROBABLY THE PROUDEST MOM OF
THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

Terry: WOW!
BELLO SISTERS.
IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
OVER IN GERMANY, SO THERE'S ONLY
TWO OF THEM, BECAUSE ONE SISTER
IS IN BED.
LET'S TALK TO THE JUDGES WHO ARE
WIDE WEAK.
HEIDI, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET
Heidi: I MEAN, THAT HURT,
WATCHING YOU GIRLS
YOU'RE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL TO
WATCH.
YOU CREATE THESE HUMAN
SCULPTURES WHEN YOU CLIMB ON TOP
OF EACH OTHER.
AND WHEN YOU BEND YOUR LEG
BACKWARDS, IT'S INSANE WHAT YOU
GIRLS DO AND IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
AT THE SAME TIME
GOOD LUCK.
ATHLETES, YOU'RE ATHLETES.
Terry: HOWIE, WERE YOU
IMPRESSED?
- >> Howie: IMPRESSED IN SO MANY
- DIFFERENT WAYS
LIKE YOU SAID, HEIDI, WHEN THAT
LEG GOES BACK, I'M WAIT TO GO
HEAR A SNAP, BECAUSE IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU'RE HYPEREXTENDING YOUR
KNEE, IT DOESN'T LOOK HUMAN.
I KNOW IT'S NOT NICE FOR LADIES
TO GIVE THEIR WEIGHT, BUT YOU
TOLD US, 240 POUNDS YOU'RE
HOLDING IN COMBINATION
Sofia: THAT'S FOR TWO OF
THEM, HOWIE, NOT ONE OF THEM
Howie: BUT I CAN'T LIFT 240
- POUNDS - THEY'RE NOT SHAKING.
THERE'S SO MUCH STRENGTH
AND MAYBE THIS IS POLITICALLY
INCORRECT, THE MOTHER IS
STUNNING
PROPS TO YOUR MOM.
IT WAS GREAT
THANK YOU
Terry: SOFIA.
Sofia: IT'S BEAUTIFUL
THE WHOLE SHOW, IT'S INCREDIBLE.
THREE DELICATE FLOWERS LIKE YOU
LOOK, AND THEN SO STRONG, SO
PERFECT, EVERYTHING YOU DO
I'M MESMERIZED
I COULD WATCH YOU GUYS GO ON AND
ON AND ON, ALL DAY LONG, DOING
THAT CRAZY THING THAT YOU DO
Howie: 240 POUNDS OF FLOWERS.
Sofia: FRESH FLOWERS.
BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Terry: BELLO SISTERS, YOUR
PERFORMANCE LOOKS PAINFUL, IT
LOOKS LANGUAGE USDANGEROUS.
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE AN EVEN
BIGGER RISK IF YOU GET TO THE
FINAL?
OF COURSE, WE'RE ALWAYS READY
TO GO BIGGER AND RISK EVEN MORE.
SO WE'RE EXCITED
- >> Terry: THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
- GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, BELLO
SISTERS.
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THE
- SISTERS ARE GONNA MAKE THE
- FINALS, AND THAT'S IF YOU VOTE
- FOR THEM
- IF YOU WANT TO USE THE OFFICIAL
AGT APP, DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE
APP STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY
- COMING UP, A WOMAN WHO'S FOUGHT
- HARD TO SHOW THE WORLD WHO SHE
IS
NOW SHE'S HOPING TO PROVE SHE
DESERVES TO BE IN THE FINALS
IT'S CELINA, RIGHT AFTER THIS
BREAK.
Terry: IN SEVEN DAYS WE WILL
HAVE A NEW "AGT" CHAMPION.
- ONE OF THE WAYS THEY'RE LIFE IS
- GOING TO CHANGE, THEY'LL
HEADLINE A VEGAS SHOW AT THE
LUXOR LAS VEGAS.
YOU CAN CHECK THAT OUT AT
- IT TAKES A LOT TO GET UP AND
- PERFORM IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE
COUNTRY.
WELL, THIS SINGER GOT HER
- CONFIDENCE FROM AN INTERESTING
- SOURCE
HERE'S CELINA.
GROWING UP, IT WASN'T JUST
- MUSIC THAT WAS A BIG PART OF MY
- LIFE
IT WAS SOCCER.
AS A KID, WHEN I WOULD GO OUT ON
THE FIELD AND PLAY, I WOULD
SCORE SO MUCH, PEOPLE WOULD LOVE
- ME FOR WHO I WAS
- SOCCER GAVE ME THAT SENSE OF
ACCEPTANCE THAT I DIDN'T GET
ANYWHERE ELSE.
IT BECAME THIS OUTLET TOWARDS ME
BECOMING A MUSICIAN.
SUDDENLY THAT FEELING THAT I GOT
ON THAT SOCCER FIELD, I GAINED
THAT SAME CONFIDENCE WHEN I
SANG
SO I KNEW THAT MUSIC WAS WHAT I
WAS SUPPOSED TO DO NEXT.
IT FEELS LIKE YOU PREPARED
YOUR LIFETIME FOR THIS
PERFORMANCE.
MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M
- ALIVE.
- >> THE ACT IS IN DANGER OF
- GETTING SENT HOME.
- CELINA
MY HEART WAS POUNDING WHEN
TERRY CALLED MY NAME
IN THAT MOMENT, I WASN'T SURE IF
I WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH.
THE ACT THROUGH TO THE
SEMIFINALS IS CELINA
MY JOURNEY WASN'T OVER.
I WAS SO THANKFUL TO BE GIVEN
ANOTHER CHANCE
MUSIC GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO
- FIGHT FOR WHAT I WANT TO BE IN
- MY LIFE.
MY VOICE BROUGHT ME TO THE "AGT"
STAGE, TO THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW.
- AND I'M COUNTING ON MYSELF TO
- SHOW WHO I AM AND I'M GOING TO
WIN.
I'M GOING TO FIGHT FOR IT.

SO THE QUESTION, AND THIS IS A
QUESTION, I DON'T WANT YOU TO
BOO ME, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
IS THIS WORTHY OF MOVING ON TO
THE FINALS
THERE'S A LOT OF SINGERS,
- ESPECIALLY TONIGHT
- OH, THANK YOU.
I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK.
THE THING IS THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT THAT WAS ENOUGH
BUT IT'S NOT UP TO ME, IT'S UP
- TO THEM.
- YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE TO BE IN
THE FINALS
BUT DID YOU DO ENOUGH TO GET
THERE, THAT'S THE QUESTION
Terry: SOFIA, WHAT DID YOU
THINK?
Sofia: SOFIA, I DO THINK IT'S
- ENOUGH
- IT'S NOT WHAT HE SAYS, IT'S WHAT
AMERICA IS GOING TO SAY.
YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH.
EVERY TIME YOU SING AND PERFORM.
I THOUGHT... LIKE I WAS PAYING
ATTENTION AND JUST FOR A MOMENT
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE IN SOME
KIND OF AN AWARDS SHOW,
PERFORMING A SONG.
- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
- >> Terry: HEIDI.
Heidi: I LOVED IT TOO, I
THINK, AGAIN, YOU WERE AMAZING
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY GOING TO
BE ONE PERSON THAT WILL WALK
AWAY WITH THE MILLION DOLLARS.
BUT I FEEL, HONESTLY, THAT ALL
OF YOU GUYS WILL WALK AWAY WITH
SO MUCH MORE, BECAUSE YOU HAD
THIS AMAZING JOURNEY
WE GOT TO MEET YOU, SEE YOU, HOW
BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE, AND WHAT AN
AMAZING TALENT YOU HAVE.
AND I TRULY LOVE YOU, I THINK
YOU ARE AMAZING.
[ APPLAUSE ]
Terry: CELINA, EVERY TIME
YOU'VE BEEN ON THIS STAGE YOU'VE
GOTTEN BETTER AND BETTER AND
- BETTER
- IS THIS YOUR DREAM COME TRUE
- RIGHT NOW?
- >> IT DEFINITELY IS A DREAM COME
TRUE
I'VE MET SO MANY PEOPLE, THIS
- EXPERIENCE, I'VE LEARNED SO
- MUCH
I'M SO THANKFUL.
Terry: THANK YOU SO MUCH,
- CELINA - GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.
OR DOWNLOAD THE "AGT" APP.
IF YOU'RE ON
XFINITY USING YOUR XFINITY VOICE
- REMOTE
- WE'RE HEADING OUTSIDE FOR OUR
NEXT ACT
IN THE QUARTER-FINALS, THIS GUY
- PERFORMED AN ESCAPE MORE
- DANGEROUS THAN ANYTHING HE'D
- EVER DONE BEFORE
- TONIGHT, TO MAKE THE FINALS,
HE'S TAKING IT UP A LEVEL!
BRACE YOURSELVES, HERE'S
JONATHAN GOODWIN
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
QUARTERFINALS WASN'T IDEAL
JONATHAN GOODWIN!
I NEARLY DIDN'T GET THROUGH
I'VE DETERMINED I'M NOT GOING TO
BE IN THAT POSITION AGAIN.
SO THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE, IT IS
BIGGER, SCARIER, AND THE STAKES
ARE INFINITELY HIGHER.
- I'M GOING TO BE HANGING 50 FEET
- IN THE AIR
WHAT I'M DOING IS NOT A TRICK.
AND THE WORST INJURY I'VE EVER
SUSTAINED WAS FALLING FROM A ZIP
LINE
THIS STUNT IS A REAL CHALLENGE,
BECAUSE ONE OF MY GREATEST FEARS
IS HEIGHT.
IT HAS A PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT ON
MY BODY.
I GET SWEATY PALMS
I CAN FEEL MY HEART BEATING IN
MY CHEST
IN FACT IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE
NIGHTMARES ABOUT
FLIPPING, FALLING, REACHING, AND
THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO SAVE
ME
THE DANGER IS REAL
- BUT I'M ONE PERFORMANCE AWAY
- FROM BEING IN THE FINALS OF
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.
SO TONIGHT, I'M FACING MY FEARS.
AND IF I FALL, IT'S GAME OVER.
GOOD EVENING, AMERICA.
HAPPY TUESDAY.
TONIGHT IS THE SEMIFINALS OF
- "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.
- EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW IS
- AMAZING.
- AND SO I KNOW I HAVE TO PUT IT
ALL ON THE LINE.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M
GOING TO DO, LITERALLY
RIGHT NOW I'M 60 FEET IN THE AIR
UNDERNEATH A CRANE
THE ZIP LINE TERMINATES AN AT
THAT PLATFORM 80 FEET AWAY
I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT THE
SCARIEST STUNT IN MY BOOK.
WHAT YOU SEE TONIGHT I'VE NEVER
ATTEMPTED BEFORE, NOR HAS ANYONE
ELSE
- I'M GOING TO TRY TO RIDE THE ZIP
- LINE FROM HERE TO THERE.
BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN MY
WAY.
- FIRSTLY, THIS COMBINATION
- PADLOCK.
THE LOCK AND THE TETHER THAT
IT'S ATTACHED TO, SECURED AROUND
MY WAIST, WILL STOP MY TRAVEL IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE ZIP LINE AND
PREVENT ME GETTING SAFELY TO THE
OTHER SIDE
- >> Howie: THAT'S NOT A GOOD
- IDEA
THAT IS LOCKED AND SECURE
I HAVE TO TRY AND HACK OPEN THE
- LOCK JUST BY TOUCH AND WITHOUT
- LOOKING AT IT.
AND YOU'LL SEE WHY IN JUST A
MINUTE
I'M ALSO GOING TO HAVE MY HANDS
TIED WITH ROPE BEHIND MY BACK.
SO I HAVE TO ESCAPE FROM THOSE
BONDS BEFORE I CAN EVEN BEGIN TO
TRY AND HACK THE PADLOCK
AND I HAVE TO BE QUICK, BECAUSE
THE ROPES THAT WILL BE
SUSPENDING ME ARE GOING TO BE ON
- FIRE
- SO I HAVE TO ESCAPE AND MAKE IT
TO SAFETY BEFORE THE ROPES BURN
THROUGH OR I WILL FALL
♪♪
OH, AND ONE THING I FORGOT TO
MENTION, KIND OF IMPORTANT
I'LL BE RIDING THE ZIP LINE
HOLDING ON WITH MY TEETH
Howie: OH, NO
Sofia: NO, NO, HOWIE, HOWIE
Howie: DON'T CALL ME.

Heidi: OH, MY GOD, HE'S

Howie: OH, MY GOSH.

Terry: JONATHAN, MY GOODNESS,
ARE YOU OKAY
I'M GOOD!
Terry: ALL RIGHT.
- WE'RE GOING TO GET EVERYBODY
- BACK INSIDE AND WE'LL HEAR FROM
- THE JUDGES, IF THEY CAN EVEN
- SPEAK.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Announcer: COMING UP...
YOU ARE SO BEYOND YOUR YEARS,
YOU'RE ALREADY A STAR.
IT BRINGS HOPE AND LOVE THAT

- SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT
OF ME BEFORE THE BREAK
LET'S SEE IF THE JUDGES HAVE
RECOVERED.
SOFIA?
Sofia: I MEAN, I THINK THIS
WAS MY FAVORITE OF ALL THE STUFF
THAT YOU'VE DONE
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS
THE WAY THEY WERE SHOOTING YOU,
BUT I COULD SEE ALL THE DETAILS.
I WAS SUFFERING WHEN THAT THING
CAME APART AND THE THING IN YOUR
MOUTH, YOU HAVE TO BE A LITTLE
BIT CUCKOO IN THE HEAD TO DO
THIS KIND OF THING
IT'S NOT A TRICK OR ILLUSION,
HE'S DOING THESE INSANE THINGS
TO HIMSELF
I DON'T KNOW, I THINK AMERICA
HAS TO LOVE YOU BECAUSE I LOVE
- YOU.
- I KNOW THESE GUYS WERE ALSO
HAVING A GREAT TIME.
Howie: WE WERE.
THANK YOU, SOFIA, I
APPRECIATE IT.
Terry: HEIDI?
Heidi: IF THIS IS YOUR SECOND
SCARIEST ACT, I DON'T KNOW IF I
COULD HANDLE YOUR FIRST SCARIEST
- ACT.
- BUT I DO WANT TO SEE IT.
- I ALSO THINK YOU'RE INSANE AND
- CRAZY.
- WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU IS EVERY
- TIME YOU SHOW US SOMETHING NEW
AND DIFFERENT THAT WE TRULY HAVE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
SO, WELL DONE!
THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT,
- HEIDI.
- >> Howie: THERE'S NO MIDDLE
GROUND, MY HEART IS STILL
POUNDING, THERE IS NO MIDDLE
GROUND WITH YOU.
IT'S TERRIFYING TO BE THAT HIGH,
YOU SAY YOU'RE AFRAID OF
HEIGHTS, I GET IT.
THAT IS A LOT OF WEIGHT.
EVEN BEYOND THAT, I WOULD
IMAGINE YOU WEIGH MORE THAN TWO
BELLO SISTERS.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
00:48:53,210 --> 00:48:55,612
JUST BY HIS MOUTH, AND YOU
AND YOUR ASSISTANT ARE SHARING
ONE AND A HALF HAIRCUTS.
IT'S AMAZING, THE DETAIL
IF YOU LIKE DANGER, AMERICA,
THERE'S NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS
THAN JONATHAN, I THINK YOU'RE
WORTH A VOTE ON THE FINALS
THANK YOU, HOWIE, I
APPRECIATE IT.
Terry: JONATHAN, YOU'RE
INSANE, YOU SET YOURSELF ON
- FIRE, YOU'RE DANGLING BY YOUR
- TEETH.
- WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US IN THE
- FINALS IF YOU MAKE IT?
AS YOU KNOW, I'M WORKING MY
WAY THROUGH MY BOOK AND I HAVE
ONE LEFT, THE SCARIEST ONE IN MY
BOOK WHICH IS BIGGER THAN
- ANYTHING YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN
- BEFORE
- >> Terry: I DON'T THINK I'M
- READY FOR THAT, MAN.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
JONATHAN
YOU HAVE A LOT OF VOTES, UP TO
10 FOR EACH ACT WITH EACH VOTING
METHOD, SO USE THEM WISELY
UP RIGHT NOW IS HEIDI'S GOLDEN
BUZZER
SHE'S A WOMAN WHO HAS HAD TO
- FIGHT HARD FOR HER DREAM, BUT
- SHE HAS JUST ABOUT THE BEST
INSPIRATION THERE IS
SHE'S CRISTINA RAE
I WANT ENGINEER HEE JEREMIAH
AS A SPECIAL PLACE
HAVING EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS,
I FELT LIKE IT WAS MY DUTY TO
- HIDE ALL THE BAD THINGS I WENT
- THROUGH.
EVEN THOUGH I HAD STRUGGLED WITH
FINANCES, HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT
BECAUSE I JUST WANT HIM TO REACH
FOR THE STARS.
AND COMING TO "AGT," WHAT BETTER
WAY TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE
GETTING THE GOLDEN BUZZER WAS
LIKE STANDING IN GOLDEN LIGHT.
- THE HARDSHIPS, SLEEPING IN MY
- CAR, FEELING LONELY.
IT ALL WENT AWAY AND I KNEW MY
DREAMS COULD COME TRUE
- I WANT MY VOICE TO BE HEARD ALL
- OVER THE WORLD WITH MY SON RIGHT
BY MY SIDE
IF I WERE TO WIN "AMERICA'S GOT

THIS DANCE ACT DEFINITELY HAS
PLENTY OF IT
HERE'S BAD SALSA

SHE WAS 7 YEARS OLD.
WE HAVE GROWN UP TOGETHER AND WE

WHEN WE DID DANCING TOGETHER
IT WAS LIKE THERE WAS A BOND
BETWEEN US

ME
YOU'RE THE BEST THAT WE HAVE
EVER HAD
INDIA IS A COUNTRY OF
TRADITIONS
DANCE IS USED TO EXPRESS YOUR

PERFORM.
THE NEXT ACT GOING INTO THE

BEING ON "AMERICA'S GOT

BURSTING WITH PRIDE THAT WE MADE
IT TO THE SEMIFINALS

SHOULD NOT DO THIS AT HOME

GIVE UP.
FOR MY WHOLE LIFE, I WAS SCARED,

AND YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING.
AND NOW MY DREAM CAME TRUE
I'M ON "AGT," ONE PERFORMANCE
AWAY FROM THE FINAL.
- NOW I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS,
- BECAUSE I KNOW HOW GOOD OTHER
CONTESTANTS ARE.
BUT MY MOTHER TOLD ME TO BE

I CARRY HER WORDS WITH ME IN MY

MAKING IT TO THE SEMIFINALS
HAS MADE ME FEEL SO GRATEFUL,
BUT ALSO VERY LUCKY.
SOME MIGHT ASK IS THERE ANYTHING
A PERSON CAN DO TO MAKE

- PERHAPS LUCKIER.
HERE IS A SIMPLE EXPERIMENT THAT
SHOULD WORK ON MOST OF YOU
QUICK, I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE TWO
SIMPLE GEOMETRIC SHAPES LIKE A
SQUARE AND A RECTANGLE
BUT DON'T USE MY EXAMPLE
- PICTURE ONE OF THOSE SHAPES
- AROUND THE OTHER
SEE THIS IN YOUR MIND.
ARE YOU THINKING OF A TRIANGLE
INSIDE A CIRCLE?
YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU?
- PERHAPS I JUST GOT LUCKY
- MAYBE.
MAYBE NOT.
LUCK IS A GAME
WHAT ARE THE ODDS I END UP HERE,
IN THE SEMIFINALS OF "AGT"
FIVE MONTHS AGO I HAD GOTTEN
BACK TO PERFORMING AFTER A
- FIVE-YEAR BATTLE WITH CHRONIC
- ILLNESS.
I HAD MISSED ALL THE
OPPORTUNITIES TO AUDITION FOR

OF A LIFETIME.

I AUDITIONED
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY AUDITIONERS
MAKE IT THIS YEAR?

INFLUENCE THOUGHTS TO CONTROL AN
OUTCOME.
HOW MANY OF YOU THOUGHT OF A
- TRIANGLE INSIDE A CIRCLE
- EARLIER?
- WAS THAT A LUCKY GUESS ON MY
- PART
MY QUESTION TO YOU, IS ANYTHING
REALLY LEFT TO CHANCE?
- THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING ME
- BACK
THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, BEING HERE IN THE
SEMIFINALS FEELS LIKE WINNING
THE LOTTERY.
HEIDI, SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST
OPPORTUNITY TO GET INSIDE YOUR
MIND, I THOUGHT WE COULD PLAY A
QUICK GAME
IF YOU COULD, GRAB A POKER CHIP
OFF THE TABLE.
STAND HERE AND FACE ME
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE CHIP
- BEHIND YOUR BACK, GET IT INTO
- ONE OF YOUR HANDS.
WHEN YOU'RE READY, BRING YOUR
HANDS OUT WITH YOUR FISTS CLOSED
AND GIVE ME YOUR BEST POKER
FACE

I'M READY
WHAT WOULD HEIDI DO?
IT'S IN YOUR LEFT HAND
HOLD IT UP
IT'S JUST ONE.

- I COULD BE LUCKY
TAKE IT BEHIND YOUR BACK
WE'LL PLAY A FINAL ROUND
- MIX IT AROUND BETWEEN YOUR
- HANDS.
YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO GO LEFT
AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE TOO
OBVIOUS, BUT IT'S UP TO YOU.
AS A MATTER OF PERSONALITY I ASK
MYSELF WHETHER SHE WOULD KEEP IT
IN THE SAME HAND OR SWITCH
- YOU SWITCHED, RIGHT HAND
- HOLD IT UP
ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S TWO
- [ APPLAUSE ]
- ALL RIGHT.
- I THINK I UNDERSTAND THE WAY
- THAT YOU THINK NOW

A SIMPLE GAME OF ROULETTE.

- THE TABLE, TOSS THAT CHIP ON THE
- TABLE.

IN ON THE ACTION
ON THIS TABLE ARE THE NUMBERS 1
THROUGH 36
BUT BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR BETS,
IN A MOMENT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU
TO TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS AND
CHOOSE THE NUMBERS THAT FEEL

MY OWN BEFORE WE START
AND TONIGHT, I'M GOING ALL IN.

AT HOME CAN FOLLOW ALONG

FURTHER AND GET OUR AUDIENCE

WHO CHOSE 13?

TOO EASY, BECAUSE WHILE ALL OF
YOU WERE HOPING FOR 1 AND 36, I
WAS GOING FOR 1 AND A MILLION.

THE TABLE, PICK UP MY WALLET,
STAND NEXT TO THE ROULETTE WHEEL

EVEN BIGGER.

- LITERALLY.
- TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT I DID
EARLIER.
I'M HERE TO MAKE MY BOLDEST
- PREDICTION YET IN A VERY PUBLIC

BUT I GOT A BILLBOARD WITH SOME
NUMBERS THAT I'M HOPING BY NOW
WILL MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU
LOOK AT THE NUMBERS ON THE
BILLBOARD.

THEY WORKED VERY HARD.

WHEN I WAS PREGNANT BECAUSE THEY
WERE DOING EVERYTHING IN MY
- STOMACH.
- WHEN THEY WERE REALLY SMALL, SHE
WAS ALWAYS DANCING
SHE LOVES EVERYTHING THAT WAS
DANGEROUS.

DOING AND THEY PUT EVERYTHING
INTO IT.

US TO DO THINGS THAT REQUIRE
GREAT STRENGTH
WE SHOW IT IN A MORE ELEGANT

- WE SMILE
WE DANCE
WE MOVE.
IT'S A LOT OF THINGS AT THE SAME
TIME THAT WE DO.
PEOPLE OFTEN FORGET THE STRENGTH
THAT IT ACTUALLY REQUIRES.

TOGETHER, WE'RE 240 POUNDS SO

OF THINGS AT ONE TIME.

MY HEART WAS POUNDING WHEN
TERRY CALLED MY NAME
IN THAT MOMENT, I WASN'T SURE IF
I WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH.
THE ACT THROUGH TO THE
SEMIFINALS IS CELINA
MY JOURNEY WASN'T OVER.
I WAS SO THANKFUL TO BE GIVEN
ANOTHER CHANCE
MUSIC GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO
- FIGHT FOR WHAT I WANT TO BE IN
- MY LIFE.
MY VOICE BROUGHT ME TO THE "AGT"
STAGE, TO THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW.
- AND I'M COUNTING ON MYSELF TO
- SHOW WHO I AM AND I'M GOING TO
WIN.
I'M GOING TO FIGHT FOR IT.

Terry: CELINA
- AMAZING!
- THAT COULD PUT HER INTO THE
FINALS
WE'LL GET REACTIONS FROM THE
JUDGES IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
THEN, A MAN WHO IS USED TO
TAKING RISKS GOES BIGGER AND
MORE DANGEROUS THAN HE EVER HAS
BEFORE
WILL IT PAY OFF?

Terry: SO, IT'S TIME TO FIND
- OUT WHAT THE JUDGES THOUGHT OF
- CELINA'S PERFORMANCE
IT BLEW ME AWAY, LET'S SEE IF
THEY AGREE
HOWIE.
Howie: ASTERY YY YY AS TERRY
THAT'S THE KEY, YOU HAVE TO BLOW
PEOPLE AWAY.
- THE COMPETITION FOR PEOPLE
- SINGING IS ABOVE AND BEYOND.
SO THE QUESTION, AND THIS IS A
QUESTION, I DON'T WANT YOU TO
BOO ME, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
IS THIS WORTHY OF MOVING ON TO
THE FINALS
THERE'S A LOT OF SINGERS,
- ESPECIALLY TONIGHT
- OH, THANK YOU.
I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK.
THE THING IS THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT THAT WAS ENOUGH
BUT IT'S NOT UP TO ME, IT'S UP
- TO THEM.
- YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE TO BE IN
THE FINALS
BUT DID YOU DO ENOUGH TO GET
THERE, THAT'S THE QUESTION
Terry: SOFIA, WHAT DID YOU
THINK?
Sofia: SOFIA, I DO THINK IT'S
- ENOUGH
- IT'S NOT WHAT HE SAYS, IT'S WHAT
AMERICA IS GOING TO SAY.
YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH.
EVERY TIME YOU SING AND PERFORM.
I THOUGHT... LIKE I WAS PAYING
ATTENTION AND JUST FOR A MOMENT
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE IN SOME
KIND OF AN AWARDS SHOW,
PERFORMING A SONG.
- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
- >> Terry: HEIDI.
Heidi: I LOVED IT TOO, I
THINK, AGAIN, YOU WERE AMAZING
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY GOING TO
BE ONE PERSON THAT WILL WALK
AWAY WITH THE MILLION DOLLARS.
BUT I FEEL, HONESTLY, THAT ALL
OF YOU GUYS WILL WALK AWAY WITH
SO MUCH MORE, BECAUSE YOU HAD
THIS AMAZING JOURNEY
WE GOT TO MEET YOU, SEE YOU, HOW
BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE, AND WHAT AN
AMAZING TALENT YOU HAVE.
AND I TRULY LOVE YOU, I THINK
YOU ARE AMAZING.
[ APPLAUSE ]
Terry: CELINA, EVERY TIME
YOU'VE BEEN ON THIS STAGE YOU'VE
GOTTEN BETTER AND BETTER AND
- BETTER
- IS THIS YOUR DREAM COME TRUE
- RIGHT NOW?
- >> IT DEFINITELY IS A DREAM COME
TRUE
I'VE MET SO MANY PEOPLE, THIS

- MUCH
I'M SO THANKFUL.

OR DOWNLOAD THE "AGT" APP.
IF YOU'RE ON
XFINITY USING YOUR XFINITY VOICE
- REMOTE
- WE'RE HEADING OUTSIDE FOR OUR
NEXT ACT
IN THE QUARTER-FINALS, THIS GUY
- PERFORMED AN ESCAPE MORE
- DANGEROUS THAN ANYTHING HE'D
- EVER DONE BEFORE
- TONIGHT, TO MAKE THE FINALS,
HE'S TAKING IT UP A LEVEL!
BRACE YOURSELVES, HERE'S
JONATHAN GOODWIN
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
QUARTERFINALS WASN'T IDEAL
JONATHAN GOODWIN!
I NEARLY DIDN'T GET THROUGH
I'VE DETERMINED I'M NOT GOING TO
BE IN THAT POSITION AGAIN.
SO THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE, IT IS
BIGGER, SCARIER, AND THE STAKES
ARE INFINITELY HIGHER.
- I'M GOING TO BE HANGING 50 FEET
- IN THE AIR
WHAT I'M DOING IS NOT A TRICK.
AND THE WORST INJURY I'VE EVER
SUSTAINED WAS FALLING FROM A ZIP
LINE
THIS STUNT IS A REAL CHALLENGE,
BECAUSE ONE OF MY GREATEST FEARS
IS HEIGHT.
IT HAS A PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT ON
MY BODY.
I GET SWEATY PALMS
I CAN FEEL MY HEART BEATING IN
MY CHEST
IN FACT IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE
NIGHTMARES ABOUT
FLIPPING, FALLING, REACHING, AND
THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO SAVE
ME
THE DANGER IS REAL
- BUT I'M ONE PERFORMANCE AWAY
- FROM BEING IN THE FINALS OF
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.
SO TONIGHT, I'M FACING MY FEARS.
AND IF I FALL, IT'S GAME OVER.
GOOD EVENING, AMERICA.
HAPPY TUESDAY.
TONIGHT IS THE SEMIFINALS OF
- "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.
- EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW IS
- AMAZING.
- AND SO I KNOW I HAVE TO PUT IT
ALL ON THE LINE.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M
GOING TO DO, LITERALLY
RIGHT NOW I'M 60 FEET IN THE AIR
UNDERNEATH A CRANE
THE ZIP LINE TERMINATES AN AT
THAT PLATFORM 80 FEET AWAY
I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT THE
SCARIEST STUNT IN MY BOOK.
WHAT YOU SEE TONIGHT I'VE NEVER
ATTEMPTED BEFORE, NOR HAS ANYONE
ELSE
- I'M GOING TO TRY TO RIDE THE ZIP
- LINE FROM HERE TO THERE.
BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN MY
WAY.
- FIRSTLY, THIS COMBINATION
- PADLOCK.
THE LOCK AND THE TETHER THAT
IT'S ATTACHED TO, SECURED AROUND
MY WAIST, WILL STOP MY TRAVEL IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE ZIP LINE AND
PREVENT ME GETTING SAFELY TO THE
OTHER SIDE
- >> Howie: THAT'S NOT A GOOD
- IDEA
THAT IS LOCKED AND SECURE
I HAVE TO TRY AND HACK OPEN THE
- LOCK JUST BY TOUCH AND WITHOUT
- LOOKING AT IT.
AND YOU'LL SEE WHY IN JUST A
MINUTE
I'M ALSO GOING TO HAVE MY HANDS
TIED WITH ROPE BEHIND MY BACK.
SO I HAVE TO ESCAPE FROM THOSE
BONDS BEFORE I CAN EVEN BEGIN TO
TRY AND HACK THE PADLOCK
AND I HAVE TO BE QUICK, BECAUSE
THE ROPES THAT WILL BE
SUSPENDING ME ARE GOING TO BE ON
- FIRE
- SO I HAVE TO ESCAPE AND MAKE IT
TO SAFETY BEFORE THE ROPES BURN
THROUGH OR I WILL FALL

OH, AND ONE THING I FORGOT TO
MENTION, KIND OF IMPORTANT
I'LL BE RIDING THE ZIP LINE

Sofia: I MEAN, I THINK THIS

THAT YOU'VE DONE
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS
THE WAY THEY WERE SHOOTING YOU,
BUT I COULD SEE ALL THE DETAILS.
I WAS SUFFERING WHEN THAT THING
CAME APART AND THE THING IN YOUR
MOUTH, YOU HAVE TO BE A LITTLE
BIT CUCKOO IN THE HEAD TO DO
THIS KIND OF THING
IT'S NOT A TRICK OR ILLUSION,

JUST BY HIS MOUTH, AND YOU
AND YOUR ASSISTANT ARE SHARING

IT'S AMAZING, THE DETAIL
IF YOU LIKE DANGER, AMERICA,
THERE'S NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS
THAN JONATHAN, I THINK YOU'RE
WORTH A VOTE ON THE FINALS
THANK YOU, HOWIE, I
APPRECIATE IT.
Terry: JONATHAN, YOU'RE
INSANE, YOU SET YOURSELF ON
- FIRE, YOU'RE DANGLING BY YOUR
- TEETH.
- WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US IN THE

WAY THROUGH MY BOOK AND I HAVE
ONE LEFT, THE SCARIEST ONE IN MY
BOOK WHICH IS BIGGER THAN

PUT HER INTO THE FINALS?
IT'S DANELIYA TULESHOVA, NEXT!
Terry: NEXT WEEK WE WILL HAVE
A CHAMPION, BUT WE NEVER REST ON

THE WORLD TO SEE, YOU CAN SEND A
VIDEO OR DO A VIRTUAL AUDITION

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
COME AND BE A STAR
RIGHT NOW, HERE IS OUR LAST ACT
OF THIS SEMIFINAL.
SHE'S A SINGER, SHE'S JUST 14.
AND SHE ENJOYS SCHOOL, READING
- AND COOKING PANCAKES
- BUT WHAT TRULY INSPIRES HER IS
HER FAMILY, ESPECIALLY HER MOM
SHE IS DANELIYA TULESHOVA.
I LOVE MY FAMILY SO MUCH.
MY MOM UNDERSTANDS ME THE BEST,
SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND AND BIGGEST
SUPPORTER BECAUSE SHE'S MY MOM
- WHEN I WAS LITTLE, SHE ALWAYS
- HELPED ME AND TOLD ME NOT TO
GIVE UP.
FOR MY WHOLE LIFE, I WAS SCARED,
- BUT MY MOM TELLS ME I HAVE SUCH
- POWER INSIDE ME.
AND YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING.
AND NOW MY DREAM CAME TRUE
I'M ON "AGT," ONE PERFORMANCE
AWAY FROM THE FINAL.
- NOW I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS,
- BECAUSE I KNOW HOW GOOD OTHER
CONTESTANTS ARE.
BUT MY MOTHER TOLD ME TO BE
MYSELF, TO DO THE THINGS I LOVE,
AND THAT'S SINGING
I CARRY HER WORDS WITH ME IN MY
HEART AND ESPECIALLY TONIGHT
I THINK I'M READY.
MOM, I LOVE YOU.

SPECTACULAR.
YOUR VOICE, THE SONG
YOUR OUTFIT.

- HARD FOR AMERICA TO CHOOSE
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, THERE MUST
BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER, I
DON'T KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE SO
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
I HOPE YOUR FANS WILL VOTE FOR
YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY
INCREDIBLE

ONE OF THE FIVE.
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS HERE
JUDGING A TALENT CONTEST, I FELT
LIKE I WAS AT YOUR CONCERT
IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT HOW YOU
SING, HOW GOOD YOU ARE, BUT YOU
SAID YOU WERE NERVOUS IN THE
PACKAGE AHEAD OF TIME.
JUST THE WAY YOU'RE PRESENTING
YOURSELF, JUST THE WAY YOU
STAND, JUST THE WAY YOU PERFORM.
AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, THE WAY
YOU SOUND, YOU ARE ALREADY
THERE, YOU'RE ALREADY A STAR,
YOU'RE ALREADY A WINNER.
IT'S UP TO YOU RIGHT NOW,
- AMERICA.
- YOU'VE GOT TO PUT HER IN THE
FINALS
Terry: DANELIYA, HOW ARE YOU
FEELING RIGHT NOW?
I WAS SO NERVOUS, NOW I'M
JUST PROUD OF MYSELF
