America's Got Talent (2006–…): Season 16, Episode 5 - Auditions 5 - full transcript

[dramatic music]

It's about courage.

It is about confidence
and respect.

♪

Question: when is
a champion crowned?

The winner: Brandon Leake!

[cheers and applause]

Is it in the moment

that they hoist up
their victory?

Or is it in the moments

that exist behind the curtain?



Is it in the practice sessions

where repetition,

where repetition,

where repetition is key

to aligning
harmony with destiny?

Wow!

Is it in the rejections

that have piled up
in their psyches?

Or is it in the moments

when this world

has knocked them
on their behind?

Are you kidding me?

And they elected
to get up anyway?

'Cause here, on the stage,



is where champions are forged

in the fire

of their own passion
and desire,

with only a hope
to show the world

that not only does

America got talent,

but they do too.

[cheers and applause]

Good evening.

You could say we're friends,

- Chosen family.

Yeah, we actually all met
at Muscle Beach here

in Los Angeles.

- Oh, in Venice.
- Oh.

So, you guys are,
like, bodybuilders

or something like that.

You could
say something like that.

And why did you think
that "AGT" was, like,

the perfect place
for you guys to perform?

So, we're
Positive Impact Movement,

and what we want to do
is inspire positively,

and that you can recover
from any injury

and come back stronger
than ever.

This guy
literally broke his neck.

This guy broke his back.

My left knee.
His right knee.

Okay, let's not do
any of that today, please.

- Yeah, yeah.
- No.

Let's not
talk about broken backs.

What about this guy,
literally, right here?

I know, yeah.

Otherwise,
I'd be up there with them.

Yeah, so we'll recruit
you for the next one.

You know,
you guys are back brothers.

[cheers and applause]

- Okay.
- Let's see what you can do.

I have
a bad feeling about this.

Really?

They don't look
like weightlifters.

I don't see muscles.

Well, they're wearing shirts.

[laughs]

Well, I have to say

- that was kind of a surprise...
- Yeah.

'Cause at the beginning,
I was, like,

thinking those guys, I mean,
with those weird outfits.

And then I--

The tops came off.

Yeah, I know,
but, like, at the beginning,

I thought,
"Okay, they're sweet."

But not, like--
when the shirts came off,

it was
another level of fitness.

And--
[laughs]

Yeah.

And the energy was amazing.

Howie.

I loved the act.

You know,
we see people doing acrobatics

and strength,
but you're just using

equipment that people
are around each and every day.

Can I ask you one question?

Was there some special
meaning in that thing

that you were holding up?

- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

My family, we've always watched

"America's Got Talent."

My mom got diagnosed
with melanoma,

and we lost her in 2017.

Oh, I'm sorry.

And I have her ashes in here,

and whenever we watched
"America's Got Talent,"

she was always saying,
"You gotta go.

You gotta do it.
You gotta do it."

- Aw.
- Wow.

And finally,
because of COVID,

I ended up meeting these guys.

So I wanted to bring
her on stage with me.

That's incredible.

Well, she is here with us,
and she is proud.

♪ I would always open up
the door ♪

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Sorry for your loss.
- Good for you.

[cheers and applause]

Simon?

What was really incredible
was the amount of time

you must have put into this.

Yes.

And it was like
watching a gymnast act

- and a danger act together.
- Yeah.

- So it was very clever.
- Well done.

Thank you.

Heidi.

I have
to say I liked it a lot.

At first, I wasn't sure,

but there were so
many amazing, incredible things

that you guys have done
that we have never seen before.

So congratulations.

Thank you.

- So, now we're gonna vote.
- Howie?

From the first dumbbell,
a yes.

- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you so much.

- Heidi?
- Yes!

Yes.

It's a third yes from me.

Four yes.

Hell yes!

Thank you so much.
We really appreciate it.

Well done.

I loved that.

Thank you.

I can't believe we've
never seen anything like that.

That was very good.

That takes a lot of practice.

- You got to be happy.
- Oh, we're stoked.

All four judges
on their feet.

What are you feeling?

My heart's going
crazy right now.

I felt your neck slamming.

Elated, yeah.

I wonder
if they're really heavy.

Wait, she's gonna go see.

Don't, don't, don't.

- Oh, you can't?
- Oh, you can't lift it?

That's heavy.

Be careful.

[cheers and applause]

Well, then she--

No, be careful!

You're gonna hurt yourself.

- It's actually really heavy.
- It's really heavy.

It's really heavy, yeah.

[grunts]

[laughs]

She nearly did.

I just had to make sure.

Whoo!

Whoo!

- Yeah!
- [all cheering]

[dramatic music]

Coming up...

Wow!

That just put
the biggest smile on my face.

[cheers and applause]
[buzzer buzzes]

- La-la-la-la-la.
- Shut up.

- [singing]
- [singing]

That was incredible.

People like you are
why we make this show.

[cheers and applause]

All right, are you guys

ready to see some more talent?

[Baha Men's
"Who Let the Dogs Out"]

- We're here.
- We made it.

- Whoo-hoo-hoo.
- Our team's ready.

- All right, here we go, folks.
- Here we go.

♪ Who let the dogs out?! ♪

I have a feeling
there's a dog act coming.

- That could be allergies.
- Yeah, that's allergies.

See if I'm right.

- Beasley.
- Hey, Bease, look.

[laughter]

- That looks like me.
- Look.

Says, "I got it."

- Hey, what's up?
- I know, right?

- I'm Trevor.
- I'm Chrissy Joy.

- And I'm Christina.
- And were the Empower Pack.

You gotta know
"AGT" loves dogs.

Awesome.

And the number one
dog lover in the world

is the Simon Cowell.

Uh-huh.

We want to impress the judges,

especially Simon.

This is the big moment.

We're gonna have fun.

- Whoo!
- It's gonna go great.

We want to show America
how fantastic our dogs are.

I can absolutely see

our entire team

on the Las Vegas Strip

and performing live shows.

- Make it happen.
- Aw.

- [cheers and applause]
- Aw.

- Hello.
- Told you.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

You were right!

- I told you.
- Oh, my gosh.

I had the weirdest feeling

we were just about
to see a dog act.

[laughter]

So tell me
the name of the act.

We are the Empower Pack.

And what does that mean?

What we do is we work
our dogs with tricks

and stunts, but we do tricks
with a purpose to hopefully

inspire and empower people
to follow their passions.

- Yes.
- [cheers and applause]

So, if my dogs
were watching this,

which they do by the way,
would they be empowered?

Yes, absolutely.

How could
you not be empowered?

All right.

What is
the necklace say on the dog?

Well, this is quite
a special necklace,

because Miss Petunia
has an enormous crush on Simon.

- [audience oohs]
- Simon, wow.

That means a lot.

And do you think you can win?

We're feeling so good.

We're gonna go for the win.

- Okay.
- No more questions.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

- Yeah.
- [laughter]

I really, really enjoyed it.

- [cheers and applause]
- Howie?

You know, I love dogs,

but I didn't find it
inspiring or aspirational.

[audience boos]

I hate to say this,
but I agree with Howie.

But, you know, I love dogs,

and now the pug's got
a crush on me,

so now I feel really bad.

But we've had better.
I have to say no.

Heidi?

I think it is so hard
what you guys do.

It's a yes for me.

- Sofía?
- I'm gonna say yes too.

- Thank you.
- Howie?

I'm gonna give it a no.

- Aww.
- Sorry.

Sorry, guys.

- Thank you.
- I feel bad.

You should feel bad.

But we've had dog acts
win the whole season.

- You know that.
- Yeah.

That sets a bar.

- You're right.
- But it was so cute.

Your dogs at home
will be upset that you said no.

They're gonna bite me.

Are you guys ready
for your next act?

[cheers and applause]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I'm Terry.
- What's your name?

Alexandra.

And what's her name?

Tesla.

When I was younger,

I didn't have many friends
because I was shy.

But when I had my first dog,

everything changed.

[barking]

I got Gizmo
when I was 14 years old.

I started to teach him tricks.

I did a dog dancing show.

I was really nervous,

but Gizmo helped me
to have fun with him,

and everything will be okay.
[laughs]

[Rachel Platten's
"Better Place"]

Gizmo passed away when
he was eight years old.

It was so difficult

because he was my best friend.

He really changed my life,

because...
[laughs]

♪ It's a better place
since you came along ♪

Gizmo gave me confidence,

and my life would have
been so different

if I didn't meet him.

I will never forget him.

♪ It's like I've known you
all my life ♪

Now I have Tesla,

and I love her so much.

Being on "AGT,"
it's a big dream.

I never think
it's possible to be here.

I am very nervous,

but I know Tesla will help me.

It's your time to go
out on "America's Got Talent."

I'm from New York City.

- I'm from Texas.
- I'm from Tampa, Florida.

But we all share our passion

and our belief in our future.

And "America's Got Talent"

- Y'all see the joint?
- Oh.

- Ahh, "America's Got Talent."
- There it is.

- You know how we do.
- Here we are, folks.

- all: We're Gangstagrass.
- We are a band.

We met almost 11 years ago,

and we've been rocking
together ever since.

When you guys
first started performing,

did you ever see
something like this

- would be the result?
- Nope.

[laughing]

- No way.
- Not at all.

We're all from very
different places

of the country.
I'm out of Omaha, Nebraska.

I'm in Brooklyn.

I'm from Pensacola, Florida.

But music
brought us together.

And we realized how
much we have in common.

[dramatic music]

I remember my dad
always telling me

that he wanted to
leave the world

better for me
than he found it.

Now, the four of us
are dad's.

And we all feel
that way too.

This goes up here.

[laughs]

And we want to do
it through music.

♪♪

Now, why
"America's Got Talent"?

Talk to me.

I had a vision

of using some quintessentially
American music

to show people that
we have some common ground,

and there's no better place
for us to come and prove it.

So we're here to win,
because we really want

to tour the country,
bringing that message around.

We're better together.

[cheers and applause]

- Howdy.
- Hello.

How are you?

- Good, how are you?
- We're good.

Doing great,
thank you.

What's the name of the group?

all: Gangstagrass.

Wow.

Gangstagrass.

[laughs]

Gangstagraus.

I love that.

Okay, how'd you come
up with the group?

I decided that I wanted
to create a band like this...

Yeah.

To play for America
and bring a message

that America can
find common ground

and get over some
of the divisions

that we've been experiencing
and come together.

- Ooh, I like that.
- Wow, wow.

[cheers and applause]

Yes.

And then I had
to go out and find

the perfect people
to make it into reality.

Aww.

Good for you.

These are
my brothers up here, man.

We're--this is my--

this is my family up here.

♪ Ahh! ♪

My name is Duane Douglas,

I'm 43 years old,

and I'm from
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I've always been a huge
fan of professional wrestling.

When I was a kid,
my brother and I,

we would paint our faces
up like different wrestlers

and have our little
own backyard wrestling shows.

But as I got older,

I realized
I wasn't a very athletic guy,

and my dream

to be a world class
wrestler went away.

So I created
no-contact wrestling

in order to keep wrestling
alive in my life.

The storytelling,
the characters,

and best of all,
the trash-talking.

Are you ready, baby?

Tonight, I'm gonna smack talk

the judges into submission.

Go show them what you got!

This is a golden opportunity
to be discovered

by the world

and show America
that no-contact wrestling

is not going anywhere.

[cheers and applause]

[heavy metal music]

- Hello.
- Hello.

What's your name?

My name
is Delicious Duane Douglas.

- Delicious.
- That's right.

And what are
you gonna be doing for us?

I am a no-contact
professional wrestler.

No-contact
professional wrestler.

- No-contact.
- That's right.

And you make a living
doing that?

What do you do for a job?

For a job, I'm a legal clerk
at the courts.

[laughter]

Do the people at the courts
know that you do this?

- Yes.
- They love it.

[cheers and applause]

Do you think
you can win this?

- Absolutely.
- I saw a psychic.

She told me I'd win this.

I already won it.

You don't even know it yet.

You think you could
take the $1 million prize?

$1 million prize?

$1 million is a drop
in the bucket for me, big guy.

Whoa!

- Big talk.
- Talking smack.

Okay, good luck.

All right.

- [laughs]
- [cheers and applause]

[bell dings]

What's up, Hollywood?

It's Delicious Dwayne Douglas,

the greatest no-contact
wrestler of all time.

And I'm here
at "America's Got Talent"

to win it all!

But first, let's give it up

for Terry Crews.

Terry Crews is the second-most
intimidating man

- on this stage today.
- Ahh!

'Cause the first,
it's this guy,

Delicious Dwayne Douglas.

Handsome Howie Mandel.

You would be perfect

for no-contact
professional wrestling.

I'm about to offer you

the highly-coveted spot

as my no-contact
tag team partner.

This is it?

So, when you're ready
to change careers,

you come see me.

I would say give them a shot,

so I'm gonna give you a yes.

Nice guys.

However, for me, I'm sorry,

based on what I've seen,

I have to say no. Sorry.

- I'm gonna have to say no.

My name is Terry.

- I'm Randy.
- That Jason.

the Sklar Brothers.

Ahh!

Go make it happen, guys.

All right,
thank you, my brother.

"AGT" in the house.

Good evening.

- Hi, guys.
- Hello.

Thank you for
being with us tonight.

So, what are your names?

- So my name's Randy.
- That's Jason.

We are the Sklar Brothers.

- Yes.
- And we're twins.

There's, like,
an energy between you two.

- Yeah.
- it's called a hatred.

I'm just kidding.
It's not a hatred.

- No, no, no.
- It's love.

Some twins, like, kind of,
like, finish their sentences--

I'm married to a twin.

- Are you really?
- Yes.

- Are you connected?
- So people say that.

"Have you guys finished
each other sentences?"

And I would say that
I've never gotten to finish

a sentence in my life,
because of him--

- Okay, all right.
- So that is frustrating.

But it's good.
We're good.

And are you guys married?

- Yes, we're married.
- We are married, yes.

- And with kids and everything?
- both: Yes.

What does the wife
and kids think about this?

- Oh, they love it.
- Yeah.

Our kids are very excited.

My son was a little
nervous about Simon.

He said,
"I hope Simon likes you."

I was like, "Is that a threat?
Why--what?"

[laughter]
"Do you know Simon?"

Like, I don't understand.

No, but my kids love it.

- Okay.
- We're excited that we're here.

We want to see what you have.

So, good luck, guys.

- [cheers and applause]
- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Well, we are
so happy to be here.

Let me re-phrase that.

We are so happy to be
away from our kids.

- Yes.
- [laughter]

- We have kids.
- Though not together.

That would be weird
if we had kids together.

We each have two kids.

And that is two many kids.

Yeah.

The only good thing
about having two kids

is that
if anybody has less than you

and they're
complaining about anything...

- Yes.
- You can leave

the conversation
you're in mid-sentence,

walk over to them,
and publicly humiliate them.

And that feels so good.

Feels great.

Friend of ours was onstage,
a comedian,

he did a 15-minute set

about how his
one 17-month-old kid

was ruining his life.

How hard it was to raise,
yeah,

one 17-month-old kid.

I was like,
"Dude, if you just have

"one 17-month-old kid,

you're a parent like
an optometrist is a doctor:

- Barely, barely."
- You're barely a parent.

[laughter]

You're a doctor like
Dr. Dre is a doctor.

both: Barely.
Barely.

I don't even
know if he practices anymore.

Small gynecology.

Dr. Dre has a small
gynecology practice.

[laughter]

- Where?
- City of Compton.

- City of Compton?
- both: City of Compton.

Yeah.

[laughter]

If you don't know
what a 17-month-old kid is,

we will explain it to you,
okay?

It is a dog
that occasionally talks.

That's all that
a 17-month-old is.

[laughter]

Then I love our friends
that just have pets

and can't handle that.

A pet is too much.

We're like, "Hey man, we're
getting a drink after the show.

You want to come with us?"
both: "Nah.

I gotta get home
and let the dog out."

"That's my baby."

- "That's my baby."
- "That's my boy."

"It's like raising a kid."

both: "It's exactly
like raising a child."

- We're like...
- both: "Is it?"

'Cause if you can tie it up

while you go have brunch,

it's not a kid, okay?

- It's not a kid, no, no.
- That's not a kid.

If it runs away,
and two weeks later,

you're like, "Let's just
get another one and..."

both: "Call it the same name,"
it is not a kid!

[laughter]

If you can openly
have sex in front of it...

both: It is not a kid.

If it turns 15

and you're thinking about
putting it to sleep...

That actually is a kid.

That is a horrible teenager

that you gotta put down.

Thank you very much.

We're the Sklar Brothers.

[cheers and applause]

That was so funny.

[Sister Sledge's
"We Are Family"]

I have to say,

I have never in my life

experienced anything like that.

Well, hey.

Never, never,
never seen two comedians

together like that.

- How in sync.
- Thank you, thank you.

Heidi.

I must admit we've
had some comedians on the stage

where I have laughed more,

and out loud,

and almost tears
came out of my eyes.

I mean, I did not really
have that this time around.

- Boo.
- It's subjective.

It's subjective.

That's why we have four
people sitting here.

- Yes.
- Different tastes.

I love it, I think it's
just really cool to have,

like, two people, twins.

- 100%.
- I agree.

- Different.
- Howie?

I love them.

In this day and age,

it's hard enough to do comedy,

and then find somebody
that has the perfect timing.

- it's like a rhythm.
- Yeah.

They do finish each
other's sentences.

I know exactly what you mean.

- Yeah.
- There you go.

Nice job.
That was great.

Like twins.

- I love it.
- Identical twins.

I love you guys.

- Thanks.
- Simon, what did you think?

The fact there's two of you,
it was unique,

it was different, naughty.

Good.

Yeah, I really like you two.

- Thanks.
- You really made me laugh.

Thank you.

Can I be the first to
give you a yes?

- both: Yes!
- Yes.

- Thanks, brother.
- Thank you.

Take that home to your son.

- I will.
- Yeah.

- Howie.
- A second yes.

- Yes.

There's no mistaking

I don't enjoy

Welcome to
"America's Got Talent."

What's your name?

My name's Peter Antoniou,

I'm 31, from London,
and I'm a psychic.

As a child,
I was always a little odd.

I ended up realizing

that I had a natural gift
that was really unique,

and I sort of
became obsessed with this idea

of being able to tell
what's in people's minds

and maybe predict
their futures.

Over the years, working
on this ability and honing it,

clearing my mind before I go
on stage is really important.

There's noise
and people in the audience

and things going on
in my own life.

And I need to be able
to turn that down.

[loud cacophony]

I sort of just tune at out.

When I'm inside
someone's mind,

it's a lot like when

you've just woken up
from a dream,

and you've got,
like, those, like,

flashes of feelings
and pictures,

but as you're waking up,

more and you're
sort of forgetting it,

and it's sort
of drifting away,

and I'm constantly trying
to restitch it together

and figure out how it connects

to the person in front of me.

I understand why people
could be quite scared of it,

because it's their deepest,
darkest thoughts.

It's a really big opportunity

for me to showcase my abilities

to a big group of people

on "America's Got Talent."

I hope that I make
a connection with the judges,

and I can't wait to
get inside their minds.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

And what's your name, please?

My name's Peter Antoniou.

You sound British.

I am indeed British.

I grew up in London,

and I recently moved
to Seattle, Washington.

- Did you?
- Wow.

[cheers and applause]

- Is this a real beard?
- It's amazing.

Oh, thank you very much.

Yeah, I'm half-Greek,
so this is sort of--

I came out of the womb
with this, basically.

- It's good.
- [laughter]

Okay, so tell us
your story, Peter.

So, when I was nine,
I was on holiday,

and I bought a tarot deck

just on a bit of a whim.

I was always
a bit of a weird kid.

And ever since then
I've sort of been fascinated

with developing
sort of psychic powers

and being able to read
into people's minds.

So, since then, I've just been
building that into a career.

Interesting.

And Peter,
this means something to you

- to do well in this competition?
- Yeah.

I knew that moving to America
was gonna be, like, a big risk,

but I knew
that I wanted more for myself,

and doing well in
"America's Got Talent"

is the sort of--

the key to unlocking
all of that.

So, it means so much to me.

- [cheers and applause]
- Okay.

Well look, I'm not gonna
ask any more questions.

We're all wishing
you the best of luck.

- Thank you very much.
- So, let's do it.

[cheers and applause]

So, in my 20s,

I actually worked as a psychic,

so people used to ask questions

about their love life
or their career,

but every now and then,

someone would ask
whether I could use

my abilities to find something

that they'd lost,

whether that was
an item of jewelry

or the family gold.

Let me show you what I mean.

Terry, will you come
out here and join us?

- Yes, sir.
- Terry Crews, everyone.

[cheers and applause]

So to replicate the experience
of losing something,

I made our own
"America's Got Talent" house.

So each room is themed
for one of the judges.

So Howie,
you've got your room.

We've got a little microphone
in there for your new podcast.

And Terry, we've got your gym,

with some little dumbbells
for you.

Sofía, I know
that you love find dining,

so we've got some food
in there for you

and an X-ray of teeth,

'cause I know that you have
a background in dentistry.

Heidi, your love of fashion,
but also painting,

so we've got lots of
art supplies in there for you,

and a cat, 'cause I know
you recently got a cat.

And Simon, I've put
the things that you love

the most in the world
for your room,

so we've got your dogs
and pictures of you.

So...
[laughter]

But something's gonna
go missing from this house.

Terry, I'm gonna look
away in a moment.

I want you to pick something
from the house

and make it go missing.

- Hide it somewhere, okay?
- Okay.

So I'll look away, so that
you know I'm not looking.

And just choose an object,
any one that you'd like,

and hide it somewhere,
and let me know

as soon as you've done that.

- Okay.
- Done?

- Yes.
- Perfect.

Something that I learned
is actually we're all

far more similar
than we realize.

People tend to lose
their objects

in mostly the same places,
which made my job a lot easier.

In fact, I actually
recorded a voicemail message

just to save myself time.

In fact, to save time,
I'll just play it for you.

[suspenseful music]

[line trilling]

You're through to Peter.

I'm unable to take
your call right now,

but if you're looking
for a lost object,

Tauruses,
it's under the stairs.

Libras, it's behind the sofa.

And if you're a Leo
called Terry Crews,

the baseball bat's
in your left pocket.

And is that right? Did
you choose the baseball bat?

Yeah.

And is
it in your left pocket?

- Yeah.
- Oh.

I did.

[cheers and applause]

[laughs]
What in the world?

And I realize
that's a phone message,

so the skeptical amongst
you might be thinking,

"Oh, he just has a thousand
voicemails saved."

So I also...

went analog.

[audience oohs]

[cheers and applause]

Wow.

Thank you so much, Terry.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

For "America's Got Talent,"
I wanted to push my skills

much further,
so do any of the judges

have an item of jewelry
they're really connected to?

Sofía, I can see
your engagement ring there.

I want you to relive
the memory of your engagement.

Maybe think of a detail
that only you and Joe know.

Maybe your close family.

Something that there's
no way I could know.

- Yeah.
- Got something in mind?

Now, Sofía, will you take
off your engagement ring

and hand it to Simon,
please?

Ooh.

You can trust him,
don't worry.

[groans]

[laughter]

- My God.
- Oops.

So now, Simon has
that engagement ring

that means so much to you.

We're going to lose it.

- No, no.
- Oh!

Judges,
stand up and come with me.

- What the heck?
- Okay.

- Let's go, people.
- Okay.

- Yeah? Okay.
- What is happening?

- Let's do this.
- Where are we going?

Coming up...

I laid out
a thousand ring boxes.

Simon, you are now gonna go
and lose Sofía's ring.

O-M-G.

So now, Sofía, Simon
has that engagement ring

that means so much to you.

We're going to lose it.

- No, no.
- Oh!

Judges, stand up
and come with me.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- Let's go, people.
- Okay.

- Yeah? Okay.
- What is happening?

- Let's do this.
- Where are we going?

[suspenseful music]

♪♪

- Ooh.
- Wow.

- So come on around.
- O-M-G.

[chuckles]

So as you can see, whilst you
were watching the other acts,

I laid out
a thousand ring boxes.

Simon, you're now gonna go
and lose Sofía's ring

in one of the boxes.

So in a moment, Sofía and I
are gonna turn away

so that we can't peak at all,

and you can walk around
the room and choose

one of the boxes and put
Sofía's ring in it.

- Okay.
- Happy with that?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Perfect.

Sofía, we're gonna look away
so that we can't see.

- Okay.
- Any box?

Look away,
so it can be a surprise

for you as well as me.

Okay. I'm gonna
get a bigger diamond?

No.

- Sofía.
- Yes.

I want you to bring

that is attached
to the that ring.

So everything about it,
the details that only you know.

The clearer it is in your mind,
the more likely it is

that I'll be
able to find your ring.

- It's very clear.
- Very clear in your mind.

- Yes.
- I'm gonna set off.

Okay, so just keep reliving
that memory in your mind.

And just sort of guide me,
like as if you--

as if you did know
where it was.

You just sort of--you're

Your ring.

And there's a detail--

- Amazing.
- I'm gonna throw up.

But there's a detail
about your engagement

that sort of stuck in your
mind, that no one knows.

Joe got down on one knee,
and as he did,

there was a rainbow.

Is that correct?

Yes? Yes?

I am sort of down
on my knee, Sofía,

so you could put me out of
my misery anytime you like.

Perfect.
Thank you very much.

How did you know that?

Where was the rainbow?

He was gonna propose
by the ocean,

but then he panicked,
and he came upstairs

to the room and proposed
to me in the room.

And then suddenly,
he gave me the ring,

and I look up,
and there was a rainbow.

- Oh, my God.
- It was beautiful.

That's amazing.

Can we go downstairs

But I came here when
I was 15, to Philadelphia.

- How old are you now?
- I am 29 years old.

What are
you doing here on "AGT"?

Ever since I came
to United States,

and is started seeing "AGT,"
I told my dad, I was like,

"I'm gonna be there one day.

"So, you know, I don't
know what you're gonna do,

but I'm gonna be."

And what did he say when--?

And he was like,
"Yeah, she is. I guess she is."

So I'm doing it, you know, in
honor of my parents.

- both: Aww.
- Okay.

Are they happy
that you're here?

I want to say
that they are.

They're in heaven.

Aww.

Can I ask what happened, or--?

We used to own a grocery
store in Philadelphia.

Unfortunately, a few
years ago, we were robbed,

and...

they were murdered
in front of me.

- Oh!
- Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

So I had to become the
big sister for my...

siblings.

And stopped my dreams.

It's a long process
for all of us.

I finally decided to,
you know, focus on my music

that I know they loved
to see me doing all the time.

And I really hope that they are
happy today seeing me here.

I'm sure they're happy,

and they're proud
that you're here.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Just by having
the strength to survive

something so horrific,
it says a lot about you.

And we're

Wow.

Bravo!

Thank you.

They're clapping for

That was spectacular.
Howie.

I'll tell you something,
as somebody in this business,

you know, we get interviewed,
and they say to me,

you know, "How do you
want to be remembered?"

And I always say,
"My legacy is already here.

My legacy is my children."

So I felt like I was
listening to your parents,

and they are here,
and I hear them

through your voice
and through your heart.

- Aww.
- Aww.

- And it was just so beautiful.
- Wow.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you so much.
- Heidi.

It was moving, you know?

Your singing--
I mean, you can feel every

word that you're singing,

everything that you went
through, and at the same time,

your strength for actually
showing up and doing you.

You've been taking care
of everyone around you.

Now is your time.

So I'm ready to celebrate you
in your time.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

- I think we all are, yes?
- Thank you.

Simon.

I think--look, what you just
did was, I mean, incredible.

To be able
to sing a song like that,

with that lyric,
with all those memories,

you know, in your head,
I think, is extraordinary.

Genuinely extraordinary.

It was a beautiful audition.

And people like you are
the reason why we make

this show, genuinely,
you know?

Thank you so much.

I think you're
an incredible person.

- That's means a lot.
- Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

- Howie, let's start voting.
- Yes.

- Thank you.
- Heidi.

- Yes.
- Thank you.

- Yes.
- I appreciate it.

- Yes.
- Thank you.

- Oh, my God.
- How the hell do you do that?

- That was--
- I mean, the memories

must begin coming back,
as she singing that lyric.

That's horrific.

- "Lost without you."
- Yeah.

- Jay, you rocked it.
- That was so beautiful.

It's a dream come true
just to be here and get yeses.

- That's inspiring...
- Mm-hmm.

To be witness to it,
and at that close.

And then,
to go follow your dream.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

- Good for her.

Whoo!

Yes.
