LUXOR LAS VEGAS.
LAS VEGAS.
LAS VEGAS.
LAS VEGAS.
LIVE, IT'S
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT."
HERE'S YOUR HOST, TERRY CREWS.
TONIGHT, IT'S THE LAST
BATTLE FOR THE FINALS.
THAT'S WHY THIS IS THE BIGGEST
NIGHT THE ACTS HAVE EVER HAD.
THE STAKES COULD NOT BE HIGHER.
THINK ABOUT IT.
THE TWO ACTS THAT MAKE IT
THROUGH THIS WEEK WILL BE JUST
ONE PERFORMANCE AWAY FROM THE
LIFE THEY'VE ALWAYS WANTED.
THEY ALL STARTED WITH A DREAM.
NOW THAT DREAM IS RIGHT THERE.
THEY JUST HAVE TO REACH OUT AND
GRAB IT.
LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.
FIRST, GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR "AGT"
JUDGES.
HOWIE MANDEL.
HEIDI KLUM.
SOFIA VERGARA.
AND SIMON COWELL.
OKAY, 11 ACTS ARE COMING UP.
ONLY TWO WILL MAKE THE FINALS.
AMERICA, ARE YOU READY?
FIRST UP IS A SINGER WHO MADE A
NAME FOR HERSELF ONLINE FOR
SINGING WHILE SHE MADE
SMOOTHIES.
THAT'S MY KIND OF ARTIST.
WHEN SHE AUDITIONED HEIDI AND
SOFIA SAID THEY WANTED HER
VOICE.
FROM CRAWLEY, TEXAS, SHE'S
KRISTIN CRUZ.
I WAS 5 YEARS OLD WHEN I
WANTED TO BE A SECRET.
I USED TO SING INTO THE VACUUM
CLEANER.
THAT WAS MY FIRST PERFORMANCE.
GROWING UP I WAS ALWAYS GETTING
IN TROUBLE.
MY TEACHERS WOULD CONTACT MY
PARENTS.
KRISTEN IS SINGING AND
DISRUPTING CLASS.
IN 2021 I STARTED POSTING ON
TIKTOK.
IT WAS KIND OF MY THING.
WHEN THE EPISODE AIRED, ALL MY
FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAME.
WATCHING IT BACK WAS SUPER
WEIRD.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
IT WAS SO COOL.
GOING TO PERFORMING FROM MY
KITCHEN TO THE BIGGEST STAGE IN
THE WORLD IT'S MIND BLOWING.
FOR A LONG TIME I DID SOCIAL
MEDIA, BUT I REALIZED I LOVED
BEING ON STAGE.
GOING INTO THE NEXT PERFORMANCE
I'M GOING TO BE SINGING "NOTHING
BREAKS MY HEART" BY MILEY CYRUS.
I KNOW I HAVE TO BRING IT.
I'VE BEEN SINGING ON THE
TREADMILL AND SINGING LIFTING
WEIGHTS.
EVERYWHERE I GO I'M LISTENING TO
THAT SONG.
THIS TIME I'M LEAVING THE NERVES
BEHIND AND I'LL BE MOVING AROUND
ON THE STAGE MORE, EXPRESS
MYSELF, BE DRAMATIC AND GO FOR
IT.
THIS GIRL FROM CRAWLEY, TEXAS,
IS GOING TO BE ON THE BIG STAGE,
GIVING IT ALL I'VE GOT.

SOFIA?
KRISTIN, I'M SO HAPPY
FOR YOU YOU GOT OUT OF YOUR
COMFORT ZONE OF TIKTOK AND
DECIDED "AGT" WAS THE NEXT STEP
FOR YOU.
THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING FOR
YOU.
THANK YOU.
- SIMON?
- I'M CURIOUS.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE SINGER?
I LOVE ADELE.
I LOVE AMY WINE HOUSE.
I STARTED TO SING ADELE SONGS
- WHEN I WAS YOUNG.
- LISTENING TO YOUR
VOICE THERE, I WAS THINKING YOU
HAVE A GREAT COUNTRY VOICE.
IN MY OPINION YOU CHOSE THE
WRONG SONG TONIGHT.
- NO, NO, NO.
- IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU
WERE SCREAMING THE SONG.
YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING.
I JUST DON'T THINK YOU CONNECTED
WITH THE SONG TONIGHT FOR SOME
- REASON.
- HEIDI, YOU DISAGREE.
I TOTALLY DISAGREE.
YOUR VOICE IS FEROCIOUS.
WHEN I CLOSED MY EYES, I HEAR
MILEY CYRUS.
- YOU'RE INCREDIBLE.
- HOWIE, WHERE ARE YOU
- ON THIS?
- I DON'T AGREE WITH
SIMON THE WORD THAT COMES TO
MIND IS POWERFUL.
I LIKE THOSE POWER BALLADS.
AMERICA ONLY HAS TWO TO CHOOSE.
- HOPEFULLY YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.
- KRISTIN YOU'RE USED TO
SINGING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
HOW DOES IT FEEL SINGING IN THE
BIGGEST STAGE IN THE WORLD?
IT'S DIFFERENT THAN MY
KITCHEN AND BEDROOM.
I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL FOR
- SUPPORTING ME.
- GOOD LUCK, KRISTIN.
OKAY, THE FINALS ARE NEXT WEEK.
YOUR VOTES TONIGHT WILL PUT TWO
ACTS THROUGH.
YES, JUST TWO.
VOTING IS OPEN UNTIL 7:00 A.M.
EASTERN TOMORROW, SO GET ONLINE
THEY NEED YOU TO MAKE THEM COME
TRUE, SO KEEP VOTING.
PLENTY MORE UNBELIEVABLE ACTS TO
COME TONIGHT.
STAY RIGHT THERE.
COMING UP...
- MAGIC, MUSIC, ILLUSION.
- HOW THE HELL DID YOU
- DO THAT?
- YOU BLEW MY MIND WITH
THAT.
THAT WAS A VEGAS SHOW RIGHT
- THERE.
- I WOULD BE SO HONORED
TO EMPOWER YOU EVEN MORE.
AS YOU KNOW, MAGIC IS
A BIG DEAL HERE ON "AGT."
THINK MAT FRANCO, SHIN LIM, AND
DUSTIN TAVELLA.
BUT WE'VE NEVER SEEN AN ACT LIKE
THIS BEFORE.
HE'S A MAGICIAN AND A RAPPER.
FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA,
HE'S MERVANT VERA.
WHAT DO YOU GIVE THE PERSON
WHO HAS EVERYTHING?
YOU GIVE THEM A MOMENT THEY
CAN'T PURCHASE.
MAGIC IS THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION.
GROWING UP IN PHILLY MAGIC
WASN'T SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE
DID.
THEY DIDN'T THINK MAGIC WAS
COOL.
MAGIC TO ME FELT SO SPECIAL AND
DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE.
♪ ONE FOR THE MAGIC ♪
I WOULD PERFORM ON THE STREET
AND GET KICKED OUT.
IT WAS DISCOURAGING.
MY GRANDMOTHER TOLD ME NEVER
STOP.
I'VE BEEN WRITING RAPS FOR A
LONG TIME.
I LOVE MAGIC.
I LOVE MUSIC.
MAYBE I CAN PUT THEM TOGETHER
AND CREATE SOMETHING NEW.
♪ GREAT ONES ♪
♪ MAGIC, MUSIC, ILLUSION ♪
THAT WAS HONESTLY
INCREDIBLE.
HEARING THAT WAS VALIDATION
THAT DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT
WORKS.
DOING THIS FOR SIMON.
MAGIC HAS BEEN BIG ON "AGT."
I THINK I HAVE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT TO OFFER.
TONIGHT I'M DOING SOMETHING VERY
RISKY.
IT CAN GO IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT
DIRECTIONS.
EVEN I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN.
I'M MORE THAN A MAGICIAN, MORE
THAN A RAPPER.
I'M AN ENTERTAINER AND I'M
CHANGING MAGIC, ONE RHYME AT A
TIME.
AMERICA, THANK YOU FOR HAVING
ME BACK.
TERRY, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
MUSIC IS SO POWERFUL AND IN MANY
WAYS BECOMES A SOUNDTRACK TO OUR
LIVES.
THIS IS MY RHYME BOOK WHERE I
KEEP ABOUT 50 DIFFERENT SONGS
I'VE WRITTEN.
HEIDI, COULD YOU GIVE ME A
NUMBER BETWEEN ONE AND 50?
49.
ON PAGE 49 THE SONG IS
CALLED... LET'S SEE... THE SONG
IS CALLED "INSPIRE."
GREAT CHOICE.
TERRY, I ALSO HAVE A BUNCH OF
FLASH CARDS HERE WITH DIFFERENT
WORDS ON THEM.
MIX THEM UP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
GO CRAZY.
MAKE SURE THE ORDER IS AS RANDOM
AS CAN BE.
I'LL TAKE THOSE BACK WHEN YOU'RE
READY.
NICE.
NICE.
TERRY, YOU SHUFFLED THESE CARDS.
THERE'S LITERALLY MILLIONS OF
DIFFERENT WAYS THESE WORDS COULD
BE MIXED UP.
ALL WE NEED IS A BEAT BECAUSE WE
ARE GOING TO MAKE A FREE STYLE
RAP OUT OF THE WORDS THAT TERRY
JUST MIXED UP.
IT STARTS WITH DREAMS.
♪ I USED TODAY DREAM ♪
♪ NOW TODAY'S A DREAM ♪
♪ HALF MAGIC AND A HALF MUSIC I
GOT BALANCE ♪
♪ LET ME SHOW YOU WHY "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT" ♪
♪ NOT MANY BLACK KIDS WERE DOING
MAGIC ♪

BUT WAIT.
WHEN YOU FREE STYLE WORDS FLOW
TOGETHER PERFECTLY.
TERRY, YOU SHUFFLED THESE CARDS.
YOU CREATED THE ORDER OF THIS
DECK AND YOU CREATED A MESSAGE.
IT'S TELLING US WHATEVER YOUR
DREAM IS START NOW.
WORK HARD.
DREAM BIG.
TAKE CHANCES.
THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES.
IN TIMES OF ADVERSITY, MOVE
FORWARD AND NEVER QUIT.
IF YOU TRUST YOURSELF, ANYTHING
IS POSSIBLE.
HEIDI, OUT OF ALL THE DIFFERENT
SONG TITLES IN THIS BOOK, YOU
CHOSE THE ONE CALLED "INSPIRE."
INSPIRATION IS LIKE MUSIC.
IT'S BEST ENJOYED TOGETHER.
I HAD A FEELING, HEIDI, YOU
WOULD PICK THAT SONG.
I PUT A LITTLE INSPIRATION TO
ALL OF YOU TONIGHT.
LOOK UNDER YOUR SEATS.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
HOLD IT UP.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
INSPIRE.
STAY INSPIRED, AMERICA.
MY NAME IS MERVANT.
GOOD NIGHT.
MERVANT VERA!
WOW.
HEIDI?
YES.
I MEAN, WOW.
IF YOU REALLY JUST CAME UP WITH
THAT, YOU ARE A GENIUS.
I HAVE TO SAY WOW.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
ALSO, I LOVE THE NEW MIXTURE.
IT'S NEW.
WE'VE NOT HAD THAT BEFORE OF
SINGING AND MAGIC TOGETHER.
IT'S NEW AND SEPARATES YOU FROM
THE OTHERS.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SOFIA?
YOU MAKE MAGIC SO
COOL.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD
THIS ON "AGT," RAPPING AND MAGIC
TOGETHER.
YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.
I HOPE THAT AMERICA VOTES FOR
YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SIMON?
- I REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY LIKED YOUR FIRST
AUDITION.
I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO
THE LIVE SHOW, AND I CAN HEAR
TONIGHT HOW NERVOUS YOU WERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, IT MADE ME LIKE
YOU EVEN MORE.
TO DO THIS LIVE, SO MUCH
PRESSURE AND I CAN FEEL HOW MUCH
YOU REALLY WANTED IT TO WORK FOR
YOU.
THIS SHOW IS INTENDED TO CHANGE
PEOPLE'S LIVES AND FOR PEOPLE
LIKE YOU.
YOU'RE SUPER LIKABLE, INCREDIBLY
TALENTED.
NEVER SEEN AN ACT LIKE THIS
BEFORE.
YOU HAVE A REAL SHOT OF MAKING
IT TO THE FINALS.
- HOWIE?
- YOU'RE THE MAGICAL
HIP-HOP VERSION OF TONY ROBBINS.
YOU'RE INSPIRATIONAL, UNIQUE,
AUTHENTIC.
THIS IS THE YEAR OF MAGIC AND
- YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.
- MERVANT, YOU ARE SO
UNIQUE.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO MAKE THIS
COMBINATION OF MAGIC AND MUSIC?
I HAD A PASSION FOR MUSIC AND
MAGIC.
I DIDN'T WANT TO SACRIFICE ONE
FOR THE OTHER.
THAT'S WHAT ARTISTS DO.
I WANT TO BE A PIONEER FOR A NEW
AGE OF MAGIC.
I LOVE IT.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, MERVANT.
LISTEN, MERVANT IS ONE WEEK AWAY
FROM MAYBE WINNING IT ALL, BUT
HE MIGHT AS WELL BE A MILLION
MILES AWAY IF YOU DON'T VOTE HIM
INTO THE FINALS.
IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT,
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE "AGT" APP
FROM THE APP STORE OR GOOGLE
PLAY AND THEN IT REALLY IS ALL
UP TO YOU.
AFTER THE BREAK, THE HOTTEST BOY
BAND EVER TO COME OUT OF JAPAN.
LATER, WE HAVE A COMEDIAN VOTED
INTO THE LIVE SHOW BY YOU
AMERICA.
IT'S JORDAN CONLEY.
STAY RIGHT THERE.
NEXT IS A BOY BAND
FROM JAPAN AND THEIR DREAM IS
QUITE STRAIGHT FORWARD.
IT'S TO BE THE BIGGEST STARS IN
THE WORLD.
I THINK THEY SHOULD AIM HIGHER,
BUT FIRST, THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE
F
HERE'S TRAVIS JAPAN.
- WE'RE...
- TRAVIS JAPAN.
I'M CHAKA.
I'M SPORTSMAN.
I'M GENTA.
I'M NOEL.
I'M THE ACROBAT.
I'M SHIME.
I'M MACHU, THE HANDSOME ONE.
WE'RE NOT JUST FRIENDS.
WE ARE FAMILY.
TRAVIS JAPAN IS NOT YOUR
AVERAGE BOY BAND.
WE DON'T SING JUST ONE THING.
WE WANT TO PERFORM ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
THAT'S WHY WE CAME ALL THE WAY
TO AMERICA.
EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T
LOVE THE SONG, I LISTENED TO THE
AUDIENCE AND THE AUDIENCE LOVED
YOU.
SIMON, WE WANT HIM TO REALLY
LIKE US.
HE DISCOVERS PEOPLE.
WE'VE DECIDED TO SING AN
ORIGINAL SONG TONIGHT.
IT'S A BOY BAND SONG WITH A
TWIST OF A JAPANESE CLASSIC.
IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
OUR DREAM IS NOT ONLY TO BE ON
"AGT."
OUR DREAM IS TO WIN "AGT."

TRAVIS JAPAN.
HOWIE, WHAT'S THE BUZZ ABOUT,
- MAN?
- WELL, YOU KNOW,
LISTEN, I'M A BIG BOY BAND FAN.
I AM.
MY BUDDY HERE CREATED ONE OF THE
BIGGEST ONES, ONE DIRECTION.
I LOVE BTS.
I KNOW THIS IS J-POP.
YOU GOT TO HIT SOME OF THE NOTES
WHEN YOU WERE SINGING THE SOLOS.
THEY WERE REALLY OFF.
IT SEEMED LIKE A PARODY.
IT WAS LIKE A "SATURDAY NIGHT
LIVE" SKETCH.
IF LIZA MINNELLI GOES TO JAPAN
AND PUTS TOGETHER A BOY BAND,
- THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
- SIMON, DO YOU AGREE?
LOOK, IT'S QUITE
DIFFICULT SINGING LIVE.
IF YOU WERE TO REWIND THE
PERFORMANCE AND TURN THE VOLUME
OFF, IT WOULD BE GREAT.
YOU'RE GREAT.
THE PERSONALITIES ARE FANTASTIC.
LOVE THE CHOREOGRAPHY.
THE SONG WAS DREADFUL.
YOUR NERVES GOT TO YOU.
IT WAS ACTUALLY JUST THE WRONG
SONG FULL STOP.
HOWEVER, I LOVE YOU.
I JUST REALLY, REALLY LOVE YOU.
YOU MADE ME LAUGH.
YOU'RE REALLY ENTERTAINING.
YOU'RE FUN.
I JUST WISH YOU HAD CHOSEN A
BETTER SONG.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK ME?
- HEIDI?
- I LOVE THE GLILTZ AND
DANCING AND CHOREOGRAPHY.
THE SINGING NEEDED SOMETHING.
- SOFIA?
- THE VOCALS TODAY WERE
A LITTLE BIT BAD.
THE DANCING WAS GREAT.
IT'S HARD TO DANCE WITH THAT
MICROPHONE AND SOUND GREAT.
I DON'T THINK TONIGHT WAS YOUR
TIGHT.
TRAVIS JAPAN, HOW DOES
PERFORMING HERE ON "AGT" COMPARE
TO ALL THE BIG STAGES YOU
PERFORMED ON IN JAPAN?
WE LOVE TO PERFORM IN FRONT
OF OUR FANS.
ALSO, "AGT" IS THE BEST STAGE
FOR US.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GENTLEMEN.
YOU CAN VOTE TEN TIMES PER ACT
PER VOTING METHOD.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF VOTES YOU CAN
USE TONIGHT.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE TRAVIS JAPAN
IN THE FINALS, GET BUSY.
STILL TO COME A DANCER WHO HAS
TRAVELLED HALFWAY AROUND THE
WORLD TO BE HERE.
LATER, ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS
KNIFE-THROWING ACTS WE'VE EVER
SEEN.
THIS YOUNG DANCER HAS
DREAMED OF APPEARING ON "AGT"
SINCE HE WAS ABOUT THIS HIGH.
HE'S TRAVELLED OVER 7,000 MILES
AROUND THE WORD TO TRY AND
ACHIEVE HIS DREAM ON "AGT".
FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, HERE'S
MAX OSTLER.
WHEN I WAS LITTLE I USED TO
WATCH "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" ON
TV.
JUST SEEING WHAT THEY WERE DOING
ON THAT STAGE, IT WAS REALLY
INCREDIBLE TO WATCH.
I REMEMBER A DISTINCT MOMENT
THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH DANCE,
GIVING MY PARENTS EXCLUSIVE
PERFORMANCES IN MY LIVING ROOM.
WHEN I WAS 13, I WENT TO A DANCE
CLASS AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED
THAT DANCE IS IN MY BLOOD.
IT'S WHAT I WAS BORN TO DO.
CURRENTLY I HAVE A JOB AT AN
OFFICE SUPPLY STORE IN SYDNEY,
AUSTRALIA.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A JOB DOING
WHAT I LOVE.
TELL US YOUR DREAM.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE MOST
SOUGHT OUT CHOREOGRAPHER IN THE
WORLD.
IN THE ROUNDS FOR THE
SEMI-FINALS BOUNDARIES HAD BEEN
PUSHED WITH SOME OF THE ACTS.
I REALIZE WHEN YOU'RE IN A SHOW
LIKE THIS, DANCE ISN'T GOING TO
BE ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE TO FURTHER YOUR
ROUTINE.
IN THIS PERFORMANCE I HAVE
ENCOMPASSED MY ACRO SKILLS AND
THERE'S A LOT HARDER TRICKS.
I'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY, REALLY
HARD AND I'M READY.
GROWING UP WATCHING THE SHOW TO
NOW BEING ON THE SHOW, IT'S A
FULL CIRCLE MOMENT.
IF YOUNGER ME WAS ABLE TO WATCH
THIS, I HOPE I'M MAKING HIM VERY
THIS, I HOPE I'M MAKING HIM VERY
PROUD.

MAX OSTLER.
HEIDI, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
IT WAS POETRY IN MOTION.
I CAN SEE HOW MUCH YOU ENJOY
THIS.
I HOPE YOU GET DISCOVERED FROM
THIS.
I LOVE THAT YOU'RE 19 YEARS OLD
AND YOU HAVE SUCH DEDICATION TO
WHAT YOU DO.
IT WAS GREAT.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SOFIA?
I LOVED YOU DURING THE
AUDITION AND I LOVED YOU
TONIGHT.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT
MAKES PEOPLE LOVE YOU.
THANK YOU.
- I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
- I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT
IS, SOFIA, IT'S HIS TALENT.
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE LOVE HIM.
YOU KNOW WHAT, MAX, I WAS SAYING
THIS A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
FOR THE NONSINGERS THE MUSIC YOU
BRING IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART
OF THE DECISION WE MAKE AND I
THINK THE AUDIENCE AS WELL.
THE SONG CHOICE WAS IMMACULATE.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY WAS INCREDIBLE.
YOU'RE DYNAMIC.
YOU FLOWN IN HALFWAY AROUND THE
WORLD TO LIVE YOUR DREAM.
FOR ME THIS WAS BETTER THAN YOUR
FIRST AUDITION.
I REALLY LIKE YOU.
- THANK YOU.
- HOWIE?
REGARDLESS OF WHAT
HAPPENS TONIGHT I THINK ED
SHEERAN SHOULD GIVE YOU A CALL
AND YOU SHOULD DO THAT LIVE ON
STAGE WITH HIM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
- MAX, OUT OF ALL THE
ACTS THIS SEASON, I HEAR YOU
WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO ACTUALLY
BROKE THE VIDEO FLOOR.
YEAH.
IN MY STAGE BLOCK I ENDED UP
SHATTERING I BELIEVE THAT ONE
- RIGHT THERE.
- THAT'S POWER.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, MAX.
11 ACTS ARE PERFORMING TONIGHT,
BUT ONLY 2 CAN GO THROUGH.
TO HAVE YOUR SAY, GET ONLINE AT
MAX WANTS TO BE IN THE FINALS.
YOU CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
COMING UP, THE ACT YOU PUT INTO
THE LIVE SHOWS.
JORDAN CONLEY WILL HAVE THREE
MINUTES TO MAKE AMERICA LAUGH.
AND LATER, WE'VE GOT SENSATIONAL
ACROBATICS FROM URBANCREW.
STAY RIGHT THERE.
HERE'S A COMEDIAN WHO
WAS PUT THROUGH TO THE LIVE
SHOWS BY YOU AT HOME IN A
VOTE EARLIER THIS SEASON.
SO WE ALREADY KNOW HE'S AN
AUDIENCE FAVORITE.
CAN HE GET YOU LAUGHING SO MUCH
YOU PUT HIM INTO THE FINALS?
LET'S FIND OUT.
HERE'S JORDAN CONLEY.
GROWING UP I MOVED A LOT
BECAUSE BOTH MY PARENTS WERE IN
THE MILITARY.
MY DAD SAID IT WOULD BE SO
COOL IF MY OLDEST SON COULD JOIN
THE MILITARY.
I WAS LIKE DAD, IT WOULD BE SO
COOL IF YOU ADOPTED SOMEBODY
OLDER THAN ME.
I WAS CLASS CLOWN IN EVERY
SCHOOL I WENT TO.
ME DOING THAT ALLOWED ME TO MAKE
FRIENDS.
TO GO TO SCHOOL AND MAKE PEOPLE
LAUGH I WAS LIKE I WANT TO DO
- THIS.
- YOU ARE SUPER, SUPER
TALENTED.
WHEN I FOUND OUT I DIDN'T
MAKE IT, THAT WAS DEVASTATION.
ASK ME WHAT MY PLAN B IS.
I DON'T HAVE ONE.
STAND-UP IS MY LIFE.
WHEN WE GET TO THE WILD CARD
SPOT, MY PARENTS CALLED
EVERYONE.
I MEAN THEY BUSTED OUT OLD
BEEPERS.
WHEN I GOT THAT CALL FROM TERRY
CREWS...
AMERICA PICKED YOU, MY MAN!
PUT THAT IN SUBTITLES.
I WANT TO SEE HOW YOU SPELL THAT
OUT.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
IT WAS LIKE A VALIDATION OF THIS
IS WHAT YOUR HARD WORK CAN DO.
I WON THE WILD CARD.
NOW I'LL WIN THE WHOLE SHOW.
TO WIN WILL CHANGE MY LIFE
FOREVER.
I WANT TO SELL OUT STASTADIUMS.
I NEED TO CONVINCE AMERICA THEY
MADE THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT DECISION
VOTING JORDAN CONLEY.
HE PUTS THE WILD
IN WILDCARD, JORDAN CONLEY.

YO, WHAT IS UP?
HEY, OKAY, LET'S JUST GET THIS
GOING, ALL RIGHT.
I'M NOT A TOUGH GUY AND I'M NOT
A FIGHTER.
YOU CAN PROBABLY HEAR IT IN MY
VOICE.
THIS GUY TOLD ME I SOUND LIKE
CAT WILLIAMS BUT I LOOK LIKE I
WOULD NAME MY CAT WILLIAM.
HERE'S THE THING, I MAY NOT BE A
FIGHTER, BUT I'VE NEVER LOST A
FIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'VE NEVER LOST A FIGHT.
I'VE JUST NEVER BEEN IN ONE.
I'M UNDEFEATED.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
I'LL BE A PROTECTOR IF I NEED
TO.
I'M MARRIED.
IF MY WIFE NEEDED ME TO PROTECT
HER I'LL DO IT, WHEN I FEEL
SAFE.
I'LL PROTECT HER WHEN THE ODDS
ARE STACKED IN MY FAVOR.
IF YOU WERE BORN AFTER 2020,
SQUARE UP.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A BABY.
IF YOU'RE OVER SIX FEET TALL AND
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEVER SKIPPED
LEG DAY AND YOU'RE LIKE, HEY, IS
THAT YOUR GIRL?
NOT IF YOU WANT HER.
IF YOU'RE BIGGER THAN ME, I'M
KEEPING THIS RING WARM FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE A
THUG WHEN YOU WERE BORN AND
RAISED DOWN THE STREET FROM
DISNEYLAND?
YOU CAN'T BE A THUG AND HAVE A
THEME PARK BRAIN.
I CAN'T CRY OVER MUFASA'S DEATH
AND ROB A LIQUOR STORE.
I FEEL LIKE MY THUG PHRASES
WOULD HAVE THEME PARK
REFERENCES.
I'M IN MY HOOD I'M BE LIKE HEY,
FAM, GET OUT OF MY HOOD OR I'LL
KNOCK THAT GLASS SLIPPER OFF
YOUR FOOT.
HE'S LIKE, WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID YOU HEARD ME STREET RAT.
KEEP TALKING.
I'M GOING TO RUB YOU LEFT, BUT
YOU AIN'T GOING TO LIKE MY THREE
WISHES.
MY SPACE RANGERS ARE GOING TO
KNOCK YOU INTO INFINITY AND
BEYOND.
YOU THINK SOMEBODY'S WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.
AHKUNA MATATA.
WE WERE WATCHING DRACULA ONE
TIME.
IN THE MOVIE THIS GUY SEES
DRACULA AND TAKES OFF RUNNING.
I SAY GOOD FOR HIM.
HE'S A SURVIVOR.
MY WIFE SAYS I HOPE YOU NEVER
LEAVE ME LIKE THAT.
I'M LIKE I WON'T, IF YOU KEEP
UP.
THAT'S DRACULA.
I DON'T FIGHT VAMPIRES.
IF IN REAL LIFE I SEE DRACULA
AND I RUN AWAY AND GET TO
SAFETY.
I TURN AROUND AND MY LADY IS NOT
WITH ME.
IN MY MIND THAT'S JESUS TELLING
ME SHE'S NOT THE ONE FOR ME.
IT MIGHT SOUND MEAN, BUT I SERVE
HIM FIRST.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
- MY NAME IS JORDAN CONLEY.
- JORDAN CONLEY.
- HOWIE?
- LOOK AT THAT.
THEY'RE SAYING IT ALL.
I WOULD IMAGINE THE PEOPLE AT
HOME ARE SAYING IT ALL.
YOU'RE JUST LOVEABLE.
YOU'RE LIKABLE AND RELATABLE.
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.
YOU HAVE THE ENERGY.
YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT.
PEOPLE JUST WANT TO SPEND TIME
WITH YOU.

SPEND MORE TIME, THERE'S ONLY
TWO TO GO THROUGH.

SHOULD MAKE IT THROUGH TO THE
FINALS.
ACTUALLY, JORDAN, YOU DID
BRILLIANT TONIGHT.
YOU REALLY, REALLY DID BECAUSE
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU IS YOUR
COMEDY IS ORIGINAL TO YOU.
IT SOUNDS LIKE I WAS WATCHING
THE OLYMPICS.
AT THE END I WAS EXHAUSTED, AND
YOU WERE.
BECAUSE, AGAIN, IT MEANS A LOT
TO YOU, I THINK OUR AUDIENCE IS
GOING TO LOVE YOU AFTER THIS
PERFORMANCE.
I REALLY DO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
JORDAN, HOW DOES IT
FEEL KNOWING YOU ARE AMERICA'S
CHOICE ON THIS SHOW?
WHOO.
WELL, TO BE HONEST I FEEL LIKE

- YOU BROUGHT POLE
- DANCING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
- WE ARE WITNESSING
TO SAY THIS ACT IS A
ACROBATIC DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO
THE INCREDIBLE LEVEL OF
ARTISTRY AND MULTIMEDIA
PERFORMANCE SHE DELIVERS.
AT THE AUDITION HOWIE SAID, THAT
IS A VEGAS SHOW RIGHT HERE.
FROM BALLARAT, IN AUSTRALIA,
HERE'S KRISTY SELLARS.
WHEN I TELL PEOPLE MY ACT IS
POLE DANCING...
POLE DANCING.
YES.
SOMETIMES THEY'RE
UNINTERESTED.
- I HAVE AN AMAZING ANIMATOR.
- YOU BLEW MY MIND WITH
THIS.
OVER 70 MILLION PEOPLE
WATCHED THAT VIDEO.
I WAS LIKE, OH, MY GOD THEY LIKE
MY ACT.
EVERY DETAIL IS ME.
IT'S AN OBSESSION.
ON THE OTHER HAND I STILL GO
HOME AND AM WITH MY FAMILY AND
LIVE MY EVERY DAY LIFE AND
CHANGE NAPPIES.
I HAVE AN 11-YEAR-OLD.
I HAVE A 4-YEAR-OLD WHO IS ABOUT
TO START SCHOOL.
I HAVE A 3-YEAR-OLD WHO IS
AUTISTIC.
HE NEEDS SO MUCH HELP.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND CHAOTIC AND
MESSY.
I LOVE IT THOUGH.
I WANT MY KIDS TO SEE THAT YOU
CAN PURSUE YOUR OWN DREAMS AND
STILL BE THERE FOR YOUR FAMILY.
I'VE BEEN TO VEGAS.
I'VE WATCHED SHOWS AND CRIED
BECAUSE I WANT TO DO THAT, BUT
THERE'S ONLY TWO SPOTS.
THE PRESSURE IS HUGE.
YOU'VE GOT TO DO BETTER IN EVERY
WAY... COSTUMES, MUSIC, TRICKS,

YOU DO IT ALL.
YOU COME UP WITH EVERYTHING.

YOUR IMAGINATION IS AMAZING.
YOU HAVE A GIANT L.E.D. IN YOUR

HOW DO YOU TRAIN AT HOME?
I USE A VERY LOW BUDGET

FASCINATING.
THE PRECISION YOU NEED TO HAVE

I REALLY THINK THIS WAS BETTER

- SIMON?
I KNEW, KRISTY, THE
FIRST TIME WE MET YOU WERE GOING

- NO, YOU DIDN'T.
NO, I DIDN'T.
ACTUALLY, I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.
NORMALLY WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY'RE
GOING TO POLE DANCE, THEY GO UP
A VERY SHORT POLE.
STAND THERE LIKE THAT AND STARE
AT US AND THAT'S IT.
HONESTLY.
THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
HONEST TO GOD IN ALL MY YEARS I
DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN... THIS IS
ONE OF THE MOST... BEARING IN
MIND YOU MADE THE GRAPHICS AND
EVERYTHING ELSE... ONE OF THE
MOST ASTONISHINGLY, BRILLIANT,
CREATIVE ACTS WE'VE SEEN.
YOU MIGHT BE THE ONE WHO IS
GOING TO SURPRISE US ALL AT THE

- HOWIE?
AS A GROWN MAN WHO HAS
SPENT MANY HOURS WATCHING POLE
DANCERS, FINALLY, FINALLY A POLE
DANCER I CAN BRING THE ENTIRE

- GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
KRISTY.
IS THIS ACT WORTH A MILLION
DOLLARS?
WOULD YOU GO AND SEE KRISTY IN

IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO THOSE

PUT HER INTO THE FINALS.
ONLY TWO ACTS ARE GOING THROUGH.
MAKE SURE YOUR FAVORITE IS ONE

THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO
THE PRIZE ON "AGT," AND BOTH ARE
LIFE CHANGERS.
THERE'S $1 MILLION, AND YOU GET
TO STAR IN A SHOW IN VEGAS.
IT'S CALLED "AGT LAS VEGAS
LIVE."
IT'S AT THE LUXOR RIGHT NOW, AND
GO AND SEE THE ACTS YOU LOVE AND
VOTED FOR.
NOW, SOMETIMES A TALENT RUNS
THROUGH AN ENTIRE FAMILY, DOWN
THROUGH THE GENERATIONS.
THAT'S THE CASE WITH THIS ACT.
DANGER TRULY RUNS IN THEIR
BLOOD.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY ANYTHING YOU
SEE IN THEIR PERFORMANCE.
FROM PALMA de MALLORCA, SPAIN,
HERE'S BLADE 2 BLADE.
OUR ENTIRE FAMILY LOVES
DANGER.
IT'S IN OUR BLOOD.
MY FATHER, HE WAS A KNIFE
THROWER.
MY MOM WAS DOING ACROBATICS
PERFORMING WITH OUR GRANDFATHER.
WE ARE THE THIRD GENERATION
RISKING OUR LIVES.
WE'RE BROTHERS.
WE'RE CONNECTED.
IT'S LIKE WE HAVE TELL KI
KNEE SIS.
HE CAN UNDERSTAND WHEN SOMETHING
IS GOING WRONG AND I UNDERSTAND
WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO CONNECT.
WE WANT TO PRESENT A DIFFERENT
WAY TO DO A KNIFE THROWING ACT.
IT'S MORE DANGEROUS, MORE
SPECTACULAR.
WE'RE BLADE 2 BLADE.
I WANT ONE TO PASS VERY CLOSE
TO HIS FACE.
SIMON THREW CLOSE TO YOUR
FACE, NOT ME.
NOW WE'RE MOVING TO THE LIVE
SHOWS.
WE'RE THE ONLY DANGER ACT IN THE
COMPETITION.
WE'LL BRING SOMETHING THAT WAS
NEVER PERFORMED ON STAGE BEFORE.
WE'LL BRING FIRE AND HAVE AN
ACROBAT.
HER LIFE IS LITERALLY IN OUR

OUR DREAM IS TO PERFORM IN

IT'S OUR CONNECTION THAT'S GOING

THIS IS SO MUCH

AND I THINK IT'S SO UNIQUE TO
HAVE, YOU KNOW, A DUAL DOING
THIS KNIFE THING ON THE STAGE.
I MEAN I REALLY LOVE THIS ACT
BECAUSE I HATE IT AT THE SAME
TIME.
- IT WAS GREAT.
- SIMON, YOU WERE ON
- YOUR FEET.
- YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS
GOING TO RUN OUT OF THE BUILDING
AT ONE POINT.
IT'S LIKE WATCHING A HORROR
MOVIE.
YOU SHOULDN'T LIKE IT, BUT YOU
DO.
IN TERMS OF THE ATMOSPHERE OR
THE AUDIENCE REACTION, YOU'VE
HAD THE BIGGEST REACTION FROM
THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT.
MAYBE FOR THE SAME REASON.
I THINK THEY LOVE EVERYTHING
ABOUT IT.
THE DANGER LEVEL, THIS IS A
VEGAS ACT, NO QUESTION.
THIS IS WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT.
- HOWIE?
- THIS IS A POLE DANCING
ABOUT THAT YOU DON'T BRING THE
KIDS TO.
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'RE
SAYING AND YOU'RE THE ONLY
DANGER ACT.
"AGT" IS KNOWN FOR VARIETY AND
MORE THAN JUST SINGING AND
DANCING.
YOU BRING SOMETHING WE NEED.
I HOPE AMERICA RESPONDS AND
GIVES YOU THE CHANCE TO MOVE ON.
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.
- HEIDI?
- IT WAS INTENSE,
EXCITING AND TERRIFYING.
KUDOS TO THE LADY FOR STANDING
ON THE STAGE ON THAT SPINNING
THING.
- I MEAN, IT WAS CRAZY.

DO YOU HAVE GUYS EVER GET INTO
ARGUMENTS?
LITTLE ONES, BUT NOT
SOMETHING VERY BAD.

YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES PER

THINKING HALFWAY THROUGH WHAT DO
WE ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT THIS?
THE ANSWER IS NOTHING REALLY,
BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS JUDGE HOW
THE ACT MAKES US FEEL.
THIS MADE ME FEEL AMAZING.
I COULD SEE HOW MUCH
PREPARATIONS WENT INTO IT, THE
DISCIPLINE, THE TIMING, HOW MUCH
YOU WANT THIS FOR YOURSELVES.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A TEN.

AFTER THE BREAK, A SINGER WHO'S
BEEN PRACTICING IN THE BATHROOMS
AT WORK GETS HER CHANCE TO WOW

WITH A REAL TALENT, TELL THEM TO
AUDITION FOR "AGT."
WE'RE STARTING VIRTUAL AUDITIONS
IN NOVEMBER FOR NEXT YEAR'S

NEED.
OF COURSE, ON "AGT," IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU

ON THIS SHOW, YOU GET A SHOT AT
YOUR DREAM LIFE.
THIS SINGER WORKS IN A
ALWAYS DREAMED OF A LIFE IN
MUSIC.
FROM PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA,
HERE'S AUBREY BURCHELL.
YOUR GIRL WORKS AT TARGET.
ON MY BREAKS I GO TO THE
BATHROOM AND SIT ON THE FLOOR
AND SET UP MY CAMERA AND DO SOME
SINGING.
FOR MY AUDITION I WAS
TERRIFIED.
I SANG THE WHOLE SONG WITH MY
EYES CLOSED.
THEN I OPENED THEM AND THE WHOLE
ROOM LIFTED ME.
MADE ME EMOTIONAL.
I THINK AMERICA IS
GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
I THINK YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN
THIS COMPETITION.
AFTER MY AUDITION, I DID GO
BACK TO WORK AT TARGET AND HAD
SOME SHOPPERS BE LIKE, OH, MY
GOSH ARE YOU THE TARGET GIRL ON
"AGT"?
IS THAT YOU?
I WAS LIKE YEAH.
I WOULD SAY I HAD PLENTY OF
DOUBT.
BEING ON THAT STAGE MADE ME
REALIZE MY POTENTIAL AS A
PERFORMER.
I CHOSE "LOVE BITES" BECAUSE
IT'S SO EMOTIONALLY CHARGED.
IT'S SHOWING A MORE TENDER SIDE
OF ME.
I'VE BEEN SINGING THIS SONG
SINCE I WAS 16.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF GROWTH
SINCE MY AUDITION.

THE FIRST TIME, YOU'RE SUCH A
BRAVE YOUNG LADY AND YOU SHARED
YOUR STRUGGLES.
YOU HAVE RISEN.
YOU AREN'T THE PERSON YOU WERE.
I'M WONDERING IF THAT CHOICE IN
SONG WAS A LITTLE MORE KA BA RAY
FOR THE PEOPLE AT HOME.
IT'S NOT ME.
I MIGHT HAVE CHOSEN SOMETHING
- BIGGER.
- HEIDI?
I LOVED THE SONG
BECAUSE YOU COULD SHOW THE RANGE
YOU HAVE.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT YOU WORK AT
TARGET, THEY BETTER PUT A HELP
WANTED SALE ON THE DOOR BECAUSE
I THINK YOU WON'T BE WORKING
THERE MUCH LONGER.
- I HOPE.
- NOT THAT THERE'S
ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT I
THINK YOUR CAREER AS A SINGER IS
- STARTING.
- SOFIA?
THERE WAS NOTHING
NERVOUS ABOUT YOU TONIGHT.
IT WAS NOTHING LIKE YOUR
AUDITION.
THIS SOUNDED LIKE YOU'VE BEEN
DOING THIS FOREVER ON A STAGE
LIKE THIS, NOT IN THE BATHROOM
AT TARGET.
YOU SOUNDED AMAZING.
FOR ME IT WAS PERFECTION.
SIMON, YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU ENJOYED THIS.
I LOVED YOU FROM THE
MINUTE WE MET, AUBREY.
I THINK YOU'RE REALLY COOL AND
INTERESTING.
YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE.
YOU HAVE A GREAT VOICE.
I KNOW WHAT HOWIE IS SAYING.
YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT EASIER ON
YOURSELF WITH A SONG WE ALL
KNOW.
HAVING DISCOVERING SOMETHING FOR
THE FIRST TIME, LIKE IT WAS FOR
ME, I LOVE THOSE MOMENTS.
YOU HAVE TO LIVE BY YOUR OWN
DECISION.
WHETHER THE SONG WAS KNOWN OR
NOT, I DON'T THINK IT MATTERS
BECAUSE YOU DID BRILLIANT, LIKE
I SAID, TONIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT LIKE A STAR GLOW
ABOUT YOU, AUBREY.
THE PERFORMANCE WASN'T PERFECT,
BUT THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT
YOU.

NOW, AT THE AUDITIONS, SIMON
SAID THAT IN THE PAST, YO-YO
ACTS HAVE ALL BEEN A BIT BORING.
THEN THIS GUY PROCEEDED TO
TOTALLY REWRITE THE BOOK ON
WHAT'S POSSIBLE WITH A YO-YO.
THAT WAS GOOD BY THE
WAY.
TONIGHT HE'S HOPING TO
RAISE THE BAR EVEN FURTHER.
FROM YOKOHAMA, JAPAN, HERE'S
SHU TAKADA.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I WAS A
REALLY SHY KID.
YO YO CHANGED MY LIFE.
MY DAD PLAYED THE YO YO AS A
HOBBY.
THAT'S WHY I PLAYED THE YO YO.
MY FAMILY TOOK ME TO YO YO
COMPETITIONS.
I WAS GETTING TO BE A MORE
OUTGOING PERSON.
NOW I'M A SIX-TIME YO YO
CHAMPION.
AS LONG AS I HAVE THE YO YO, I
FEEL LIKE I'M THE BEST ONE IN

WHEN I STARTED YO YO, I NEVER
THOUGHT IT WOULD BRING ME TO
"AGT."
I WAS REALLY NERVOUS, BUT IT WAS
MY BEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE EVER.
- YOU MADE YO YO COOL.
- THE BEST YO YOing
WE'VE EVER SEEN.
I HAVE TO HONE MY SKILLS FOR
THIS STAGE.
THAT'S WHY I TRIED TO MAKE A LOT
OF NEW TRICKS, MORE BIG MOVES.
I HAVE 1,500 YO YOs.

SINGING WHILE SHE MADE
SMOOTHIES.
THAT'S MY KIND OF ARTIST.
WHEN SHE AUDITIONED HEIDI AND
SOFIA SAID THEY WANTED HER
VOICE.
FROM CRAWLEY, TEXAS, SHE'S
KRISTIN CRUZ.
I WAS 5 YEARS OLD WHEN I
WANTED TO BE A SECRET.
I USED TO SING INTO THE VACUUM
CLEANER.
THAT WAS MY FIRST PERFORMANCE.
GROWING UP I WAS ALWAYS GETTING
IN TROUBLE.
MY TEACHERS WOULD CONTACT MY
PARENTS.
KRISTEN IS SINGING AND
DISRUPTING CLASS.
IN 2021 I STARTED POSTING ON
TIKTOK.
IT WAS KIND OF MY THING.
WHEN THE EPISODE AIRED, ALL MY
FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAME.
WATCHING IT BACK WAS SUPER
WEIRD.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
IT WAS SO COOL.
GOING TO PERFORMING FROM MY
KITCHEN TO THE BIGGEST STAGE IN

FOR A LONG TIME I DID SOCIAL
MEDIA, BUT I REALIZED I LOVED
BEING ON STAGE.
GOING INTO THE NEXT PERFORMANCE
I'M GOING TO BE SINGING "NOTHING
BREAKS MY HEART" BY MILEY CYRUS.
I KNOW I HAVE TO BRING IT.
I'VE BEEN SINGING ON THE
TREADMILL AND SINGING LIFTING
WEIGHTS.
EVERYWHERE I GO I'M LISTENING TO

HAVE A GREAT COUNTRY VOICE.
IN MY OPINION YOU CHOSE THE
WRONG SONG TONIGHT.

YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING.
I JUST DON'T THINK YOU CONNECTED
WITH THE SONG TONIGHT FOR SOME
- REASON.
- HEIDI, YOU DISAGREE.
I TOTALLY DISAGREE.
YOUR VOICE IS FEROCIOUS.
WHEN I CLOSED MY EYES, I HEAR
MILEY CYRUS.

- HOWIE, WHERE ARE YOU
- ON THIS?
- I DON'T AGREE WITH
SIMON THE WORD THAT COMES TO
MIND IS POWERFUL.
I LIKE THOSE POWER BALLADS.
AMERICA ONLY HAS TWO TO CHOOSE.
- HOPEFULLY YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.
- KRISTIN YOU'RE USED TO
SINGING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
HOW DOES IT FEEL SINGING IN THE

THIS BEFORE.
HE'S A MAGICIAN AND A RAPPER.
FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA,
HE'S MERVANT VERA.
WHAT DO YOU GIVE THE PERSON
WHO HAS EVERYTHING?
YOU GIVE THEM A MOMENT THEY
CAN'T PURCHASE.
MAGIC IS THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION.
GROWING UP IN PHILLY MAGIC
WASN'T SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE
DID.
THEY DIDN'T THINK MAGIC WAS
COOL.
MAGIC TO ME FELT SO SPECIAL AND
DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE.
♪ ONE FOR THE MAGIC ♪
I WOULD PERFORM ON THE STREET
AND GET KICKED OUT.
IT WAS DISCOURAGING.
MY GRANDMOTHER TOLD ME NEVER
STOP.
I'VE BEEN WRITING RAPS FOR A
LONG TIME.
I LOVE MAGIC.
I LOVE MUSIC.
MAYBE I CAN PUT THEM TOGETHER
AND CREATE SOMETHING NEW.
♪ GREAT ONES ♪
♪ MAGIC, MUSIC, ILLUSION ♪
THAT WAS HONESTLY
INCREDIBLE.
HEARING THAT WAS VALIDATION
THAT DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT
WORKS.
DOING THIS FOR SIMON.
MAGIC HAS BEEN BIG ON "AGT."
I THINK I HAVE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT TO OFFER.
TONIGHT I'M DOING SOMETHING VERY
RISKY.
IT CAN GO IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT
DIRECTIONS.
EVEN I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN.
I'M MORE THAN A MAGICIAN, MORE
THAN A RAPPER.
I'M AN ENTERTAINER AND I'M
CHANGING MAGIC, ONE RHYME AT A
TIME.
AMERICA, THANK YOU FOR HAVING
ME BACK.
TERRY, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
MUSIC IS SO POWERFUL AND IN MANY
WAYS BECOMES A SOUNDTRACK TO OUR
LIVES.
THIS IS MY RHYME BOOK WHERE I
KEEP ABOUT 50 DIFFERENT SONGS
I'VE WRITTEN.
HEIDI, COULD YOU GIVE ME A
NUMBER BETWEEN ONE AND 50?
49.
ON PAGE 49 THE SONG IS
CALLED... LET'S SEE... THE SONG
IS CALLED "INSPIRE."
GREAT CHOICE.
TERRY, I ALSO HAVE A BUNCH OF
FLASH CARDS HERE WITH DIFFERENT
WORDS ON THEM.
MIX THEM UP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
GO CRAZY.
MAKE SURE THE ORDER IS AS RANDOM
AS CAN BE.
I'LL TAKE THOSE BACK WHEN YOU'RE
READY.
NICE.
NICE.
TERRY, YOU SHUFFLED THESE CARDS.
THERE'S LITERALLY MILLIONS OF
DIFFERENT WAYS THESE WORDS COULD
BE MIXED UP.
ALL WE NEED IS A BEAT BECAUSE WE
ARE GOING TO MAKE A FREE STYLE
RAP OUT OF THE WORDS THAT TERRY
JUST MIXED UP.
IT STARTS WITH DREAMS.

IT'S TELLING US WHATEVER YOUR

WORK HARD.
DREAM BIG.
TAKE CHANCES.
THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES.
IN TIMES OF ADVERSITY, MOVE
FORWARD AND NEVER QUIT.
IF YOU TRUST YOURSELF, ANYTHING
IS POSSIBLE.
HEIDI, OUT OF ALL THE DIFFERENT
SONG TITLES IN THIS BOOK, YOU
CHOSE THE ONE CALLED "INSPIRE."
INSPIRATION IS LIKE MUSIC.
IT'S BEST ENJOYED TOGETHER.
I HAD A FEELING, HEIDI, YOU
WOULD PICK THAT SONG.
I PUT A LITTLE INSPIRATION TO
ALL OF YOU TONIGHT.
LOOK UNDER YOUR SEATS.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
HOLD IT UP.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
INSPIRE.
STAY INSPIRED, AMERICA.
MY NAME IS MERVANT.
GOOD NIGHT.
MERVANT VERA!
WOW.
HEIDI?
YES.
I MEAN, WOW.
IF YOU REALLY JUST CAME UP WITH
THAT, YOU ARE A GENIUS.
I HAVE TO SAY WOW.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
ALSO, I LOVE THE NEW MIXTURE.
IT'S NEW.
WE'VE NOT HAD THAT BEFORE OF
SINGING AND MAGIC TOGETHER.
IT'S NEW AND SEPARATES YOU FROM
THE OTHERS.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SOFIA?
YOU MAKE MAGIC SO
COOL.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD
THIS ON "AGT," RAPPING AND MAGIC
TOGETHER.
YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.
I HOPE THAT AMERICA VOTES FOR
YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SIMON?
- I REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY LIKED YOUR FIRST
AUDITION.
I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO
THE LIVE SHOW, AND I CAN HEAR
TONIGHT HOW NERVOUS YOU WERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, IT MADE ME LIKE
YOU EVEN MORE.
TO DO THIS LIVE, SO MUCH
PRESSURE AND I CAN FEEL HOW MUCH
YOU REALLY WANTED IT TO WORK FOR
YOU.
THIS SHOW IS INTENDED TO CHANGE
PEOPLE'S LIVES AND FOR PEOPLE
LIKE YOU.
YOU'RE SUPER LIKABLE, INCREDIBLY
TALENTED.
NEVER SEEN AN ACT LIKE THIS
BEFORE.
YOU HAVE A REAL SHOT OF MAKING
IT TO THE FINALS.
- HOWIE?
- YOU'RE THE MAGICAL
HIP-HOP VERSION OF TONY ROBBINS.
YOU'RE INSPIRATIONAL, UNIQUE,
AUTHENTIC.
THIS IS THE YEAR OF MAGIC AND
- YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE.
- MERVANT, YOU ARE SO
UNIQUE.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO MAKE THIS
COMBINATION OF MAGIC AND MUSIC?
I HAD A PASSION FOR MUSIC AND
MAGIC.
I DIDN'T WANT TO SACRIFICE ONE
FOR THE OTHER.
THAT'S WHAT ARTISTS DO.
I WANT TO BE A PIONEER FOR A NEW
AGE OF MAGIC.
I LOVE IT.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, MERVANT.
LISTEN, MERVANT IS ONE WEEK AWAY
FROM MAYBE WINNING IT ALL, BUT
HE MIGHT AS WELL BE A MILLION
MILES AWAY IF YOU DON'T VOTE HIM
INTO THE FINALS.
IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT,
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE "AGT" APP
FROM THE APP STORE OR GOOGLE
PLAY AND THEN IT REALLY IS ALL
UP TO YOU.
AFTER THE BREAK, THE HOTTEST BOY
BAND EVER TO COME OUT OF JAPAN.
LATER, WE HAVE A COMEDIAN VOTED
INTO THE LIVE SHOW BY YOU
AMERICA.
IT'S JORDAN CONLEY.
STAY RIGHT THERE.
NEXT IS A BOY BAND
FROM JAPAN AND THEIR DREAM IS
QUITE STRAIGHT FORWARD.
IT'S TO BE THE BIGGEST STARS IN
THE WORLD.
I THINK THEY SHOULD AIM HIGHER,
BUT FIRST, THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE

HERE'S TRAVIS JAPAN.

I'M GENTA.
I'M NOEL.
I'M THE ACROBAT.
I'M SHIME.
I'M MACHU, THE HANDSOME ONE.
WE'RE NOT JUST FRIENDS.
WE ARE FAMILY.
TRAVIS JAPAN IS NOT YOUR
AVERAGE BOY BAND.
WE DON'T SING JUST ONE THING.
WE WANT TO PERFORM ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
THAT'S WHY WE CAME ALL THE WAY
TO AMERICA.
EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T
LOVE THE SONG, I LISTENED TO THE
AUDIENCE AND THE AUDIENCE LOVED
YOU.
SIMON, WE WANT HIM TO REALLY
LIKE US.
HE DISCOVERS PEOPLE.
WE'VE DECIDED TO SING AN
ORIGINAL SONG TONIGHT.
IT'S A BOY BAND SONG WITH A

HOWIE, WHAT'S THE BUZZ ABOUT,

- WELL, YOU KNOW,
LISTEN, I'M A BIG BOY BAND FAN.
I AM.
MY BUDDY HERE CREATED ONE OF THE
BIGGEST ONES, ONE DIRECTION.
I LOVE BTS.
I KNOW THIS IS J-POP.
YOU GOT TO HIT SOME OF THE NOTES
WHEN YOU WERE SINGING THE SOLOS.
THEY WERE REALLY OFF.
IT SEEMED LIKE A PARODY.
IT WAS LIKE A "SATURDAY NIGHT
LIVE" SKETCH.
IF LIZA MINNELLI GOES TO JAPAN
AND PUTS TOGETHER A BOY BAND,
- THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
- SIMON, DO YOU AGREE?
LOOK, IT'S QUITE
DIFFICULT SINGING LIVE.
IF YOU WERE TO REWIND THE
PERFORMANCE AND TURN THE VOLUME
OFF, IT WOULD BE GREAT.
YOU'RE GREAT.
THE PERSONALITIES ARE FANTASTIC.
LOVE THE CHOREOGRAPHY.
THE SONG WAS DREADFUL.
YOUR NERVES GOT TO YOU.
IT WAS ACTUALLY JUST THE WRONG
SONG FULL STOP.
HOWEVER, I LOVE YOU.
I JUST REALLY, REALLY LOVE YOU.
YOU MADE ME LAUGH.
YOU'RE REALLY ENTERTAINING.
YOU'RE FUN.
I JUST WISH YOU HAD CHOSEN A
BETTER SONG.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK ME?
- HEIDI?
- I LOVE THE GLILTZ AND
DANCING AND CHOREOGRAPHY.
THE SINGING NEEDED SOMETHING.
- SOFIA?
- THE VOCALS TODAY WERE
A LITTLE BIT BAD.
THE DANCING WAS GREAT.
IT'S HARD TO DANCE WITH THAT
MICROPHONE AND SOUND GREAT.
I DON'T THINK TONIGHT WAS YOUR
TIGHT.
TRAVIS JAPAN, HOW DOES
PERFORMING HERE ON "AGT" COMPARE
TO ALL THE BIG STAGES YOU
PERFORMED ON IN JAPAN?
WE LOVE TO PERFORM IN FRONT
OF OUR FANS.
ALSO, "AGT" IS THE BEST STAGE
FOR US.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, GENTLEMEN.
YOU CAN VOTE TEN TIMES PER ACT
PER VOTING METHOD.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF VOTES YOU CAN
USE TONIGHT.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE TRAVIS JAPAN
IN THE FINALS, GET BUSY.
STILL TO COME A DANCER WHO HAS
TRAVELLED HALFWAY AROUND THE
WORLD TO BE HERE.
LATER, ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS
KNIFE-THROWING ACTS WE'VE EVER
SEEN.
THIS YOUNG DANCER HAS
DREAMED OF APPEARING ON "AGT"
SINCE HE WAS ABOUT THIS HIGH.
HE'S TRAVELLED OVER 7,000 MILES
AROUND THE WORD TO TRY AND
ACHIEVE HIS DREAM ON "AGT".
FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, HERE'S
MAX OSTLER.
WHEN I WAS LITTLE I USED TO
WATCH "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" ON
TV.
JUST SEEING WHAT THEY WERE DOING
ON THAT STAGE, IT WAS REALLY
INCREDIBLE TO WATCH.
I REMEMBER A DISTINCT MOMENT
THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH DANCE,
GIVING MY PARENTS EXCLUSIVE
PERFORMANCES IN MY LIVING ROOM.
WHEN I WAS 13, I WENT TO A DANCE
CLASS AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED
THAT DANCE IS IN MY BLOOD.
IT'S WHAT I WAS BORN TO DO.
CURRENTLY I HAVE A JOB AT AN
OFFICE SUPPLY STORE IN SYDNEY,
AUSTRALIA.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A JOB DOING
WHAT I LOVE.
TELL US YOUR DREAM.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE MOST
SOUGHT OUT CHOREOGRAPHER IN THE
WORLD.
IN THE ROUNDS FOR THE
SEMI-FINALS BOUNDARIES HAD BEEN
PUSHED WITH SOME OF THE ACTS.
I REALIZE WHEN YOU'RE IN A SHOW
LIKE THIS, DANCE ISN'T GOING TO
BE ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE TO FURTHER YOUR
ROUTINE.
IN THIS PERFORMANCE I HAVE
ENCOMPASSED MY ACRO SKILLS AND
THERE'S A LOT HARDER TRICKS.
I'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY, REALLY
HARD AND I'M READY.
GROWING UP WATCHING THE SHOW TO
NOW BEING ON THE SHOW, IT'S A
FULL CIRCLE MOMENT.
IF YOUNGER ME WAS ABLE TO WATCH
THIS, I HOPE I'M MAKING HIM VERY
THIS, I HOPE I'M MAKING HIM VERY
PROUD.

YOU KNOW WHAT, MAX, I WAS SAYING
THIS A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
FOR THE NONSINGERS THE MUSIC YOU
BRING IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART
OF THE DECISION WE MAKE AND I
THINK THE AUDIENCE AS WELL.
THE SONG CHOICE WAS IMMACULATE.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY WAS INCREDIBLE.
YOU'RE DYNAMIC.
YOU FLOWN IN HALFWAY AROUND THE
WORLD TO LIVE YOUR DREAM.
FOR ME THIS WAS BETTER THAN YOUR
FIRST AUDITION.
I REALLY LIKE YOU.
- THANK YOU.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT
HAPPENS TONIGHT I THINK ED
SHEERAN SHOULD GIVE YOU A CALL
AND YOU SHOULD DO THAT LIVE ON
STAGE WITH HIM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
- MAX, OUT OF ALL THE
ACTS THIS SEASON, I HEAR YOU
WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO ACTUALLY
BROKE THE VIDEO FLOOR.
YEAH.
IN MY STAGE BLOCK I ENDED UP
SHATTERING I BELIEVE THAT ONE

YOU CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
COMING UP, THE ACT YOU PUT INTO
THE LIVE SHOWS.
JORDAN CONLEY WILL HAVE THREE
MINUTES TO MAKE AMERICA LAUGH.
AND LATER, WE'VE GOT SENSATIONAL
ACROBATICS FROM URBANCREW.
STAY RIGHT THERE.
HERE'S A COMEDIAN WHO
WAS PUT THROUGH TO THE LIVE
SHOWS BY YOU AT HOME IN A
VOTE EARLIER THIS SEASON.
SO WE ALREADY KNOW HE'S AN
AUDIENCE FAVORITE.
CAN HE GET YOU LAUGHING SO MUCH
YOU PUT HIM INTO THE FINALS?
LET'S FIND OUT.
HERE'S JORDAN CONLEY.
GROWING UP I MOVED A LOT
BECAUSE BOTH MY PARENTS WERE IN
THE MILITARY.
MY DAD SAID IT WOULD BE SO
COOL IF MY OLDEST SON COULD JOIN
THE MILITARY.
I WAS LIKE DAD, IT WOULD BE SO
COOL IF YOU ADOPTED SOMEBODY
OLDER THAN ME.
I WAS CLASS CLOWN IN EVERY
SCHOOL I WENT TO.
ME DOING THAT ALLOWED ME TO MAKE
FRIENDS.
TO GO TO SCHOOL AND MAKE PEOPLE
LAUGH I WAS LIKE I WANT TO DO
- THIS.
- YOU ARE SUPER, SUPER
TALENTED.
WHEN I FOUND OUT I DIDN'T
MAKE IT, THAT WAS DEVASTATION.
ASK ME WHAT MY PLAN B IS.
I DON'T HAVE ONE.
STAND-UP IS MY LIFE.
WHEN WE GET TO THE WILD CARD
SPOT, MY PARENTS CALLED
EVERYONE.
I MEAN THEY BUSTED OUT OLD
BEEPERS.
WHEN I GOT THAT CALL FROM TERRY
CREWS...
AMERICA PICKED YOU, MY MAN!
PUT THAT IN SUBTITLES.
I WANT TO SEE HOW YOU SPELL THAT
OUT.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
IT WAS LIKE A VALIDATION OF THIS
IS WHAT YOUR HARD WORK CAN DO.
I WON THE WILD CARD.
NOW I'LL WIN THE WHOLE SHOW.
TO WIN WILL CHANGE MY LIFE
FOREVER.
I WANT TO SELL OUT STASTADIUMS.
I NEED TO CONVINCE AMERICA THEY
MADE THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT DECISION
VOTING JORDAN CONLEY.

HERE'S THE THING, I MAY NOT BE A
FIGHTER, BUT I'VE NEVER LOST A

I'VE NEVER LOST A FIGHT.
I'VE JUST NEVER BEEN IN ONE.

I'M MARRIED.
IF MY WIFE NEEDED ME TO PROTECT
HER I'LL DO IT, WHEN I FEEL
SAFE.
I'LL PROTECT HER WHEN THE ODDS
ARE STACKED IN MY FAVOR.

YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE A
THUG WHEN YOU WERE BORN AND

MY WIFE SAYS I HOPE YOU NEVER
LEAVE ME LIKE THAT.
I'M LIKE I WON'T, IF YOU KEEP
UP.
THAT'S DRACULA.
I DON'T FIGHT VAMPIRES.
IF IN REAL LIFE I SEE DRACULA
AND I RUN AWAY AND GET TO
SAFETY.
I TURN AROUND AND MY LADY IS NOT

IN MY MIND THAT'S JESUS TELLING

IT MIGHT SOUND MEAN, BUT I SERVE

SIMON, YOU LOVED IT.
TERRY, I'M SO HAPPY.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR THIS ACT.
I'M ALSO LAUGHING BECAUSE I'M
THINKING HALFWAY THROUGH WHAT DO
WE ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT THIS?
THE ANSWER IS NOTHING REALLY,
BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS JUDGE HOW
THE ACT MAKES US FEEL.
THIS MADE ME FEEL AMAZING.
I COULD SEE HOW MUCH
PREPARATIONS WENT INTO IT, THE
DISCIPLINE, THE TIMING, HOW MUCH
YOU WANT THIS FOR YOURSELVES.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A TEN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
HOW DID THIS MAKE YOU
FEEL?
IT MEANS SO MUCH TO EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF US.

THAT'S HOW WE JUDGE.
EACH OF THESE PEOPLE BRING ME TO
THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
THAT WAS THE MOST ENTERTAINING
- ACT OF THE NIGHT.
- HEIDI?
YOU HAVE A JOLT OF
ADRENALINE, FUN, JOY,
EVERYTHING.
MY FAVORITE ACT OF THE NIGHT SO
FAR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SOFIA?
- YOU WENT ALL OUT
TONIGHT.
THE ENERGY, THE DANGER, IT WAS
- PERFECT.

WENT THROUGH A TON OF CHALLENGES
TO GET HERE.

LOVE?
I LOVE THE ENERGY OF EVERY
ONE OF YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE JUDGES.

TOMORROW.
AFTER THE BREAK, A SINGER WHO'S
BEEN PRACTICING IN THE BATHROOMS
AT WORK GETS HER CHANCE TO WOW
THE WHOLE
IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE
WITH A REAL TALENT, TELL THEM TO
AUDITION FOR "AGT."
WE'RE STARTING VIRTUAL AUDITIONS
IN NOVEMBER FOR NEXT YEAR'S
SHOW, AND YOU CAN ALSO SUBMIT AN
THE INFO YOU COULD POSSIBLY
NEED.
OF COURSE, ON "AGT," IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU
LIVE, OR WHAT YOU DO FOR A
LIVING.
ON THIS SHOW, YOU GET A SHOT AT
YOUR DREAM LIFE.
THIS SINGER WORKS IN A
ALWAYS DREAMED OF A LIFE IN
MUSIC.
FROM PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA,
HERE'S AUBREY BURCHELL.
YOUR GIRL WORKS AT TARGET.
ON MY BREAKS I GO TO THE
BATHROOM AND SIT ON THE FLOOR
AND SET UP MY CAMERA AND DO SOME
SINGING.
FOR MY AUDITION I WAS
TERRIFIED.
I SANG THE WHOLE SONG WITH MY
EYES CLOSED.
THEN I OPENED THEM AND THE WHOLE
ROOM LIFTED ME.
MADE ME EMOTIONAL.
I THINK AMERICA IS
GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
I THINK YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN
THIS COMPETITION.
AFTER MY AUDITION, I DID GO
BACK TO WORK AT TARGET AND HAD
SOME SHOPPERS BE LIKE, OH, MY
GOSH ARE YOU THE TARGET GIRL ON
"AGT"?
IS THAT YOU?
I WAS LIKE YEAH.
I WOULD SAY I HAD PLENTY OF
DOUBT.
BEING ON THAT STAGE MADE ME
REALIZE MY POTENTIAL AS A
PERFORMER.
I CHOSE "LOVE BITES" BECAUSE
IT'S SO EMOTIONALLY CHARGED.
IT'S SHOWING A MORE TENDER SIDE
OF ME.
I'VE BEEN SINGING THIS SONG
SINCE I WAS 16.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF GROWTH
SINCE MY AUDITION.
THE AUBREY YOU SAW IS NOT HERE.
I'M A WHOLE NEW AUBREY READY TO
GO OUT THERE AND MAKE MY DREAMS
COME TRUE.

AUBREY BURCHELL.
- HOWIE, ON YOUR FEET.
- YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT
WE UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE
KNOW NOW FIRST OF ALL, AS I SAID
THE FIRST TIME, YOU'RE SUCH A
BRAVE YOUNG LADY AND YOU SHARED
YOUR STRUGGLES.
YOU HAVE RISEN.
YOU AREN'T THE PERSON YOU WERE.
I'M WONDERING IF THAT CHOICE IN
SONG WAS A LITTLE MORE KA BA RAY
FOR THE PEOPLE AT HOME.
IT'S NOT ME.
I MIGHT HAVE CHOSEN SOMETHING
- BIGGER.
- HEIDI?
I LOVED THE SONG
BECAUSE YOU COULD SHOW THE RANGE
YOU HAVE.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT YOU WORK AT
TARGET, THEY BETTER PUT A HELP
WANTED SALE ON THE DOOR BECAUSE
I THINK YOU WON'T BE WORKING
THERE MUCH LONGER.
- I HOPE.
- NOT THAT THERE'S
ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT I
THINK YOUR CAREER AS A SINGER IS
- STARTING.
- SOFIA?
THERE WAS NOTHING
NERVOUS ABOUT YOU TONIGHT.
IT WAS NOTHING LIKE YOUR
AUDITION.
THIS SOUNDED LIKE YOU'VE BEEN
DOING THIS FOREVER ON A STAGE
LIKE THIS, NOT IN THE BATHROOM
AT TARGET.
YOU SOUNDED AMAZING.
FOR ME IT WAS PERFECTION.
SIMON, YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU ENJOYED THIS.
I LOVED YOU FROM THE
MINUTE WE MET, AUBREY.
I THINK YOU'RE REALLY COOL AND
INTERESTING.
YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE.
YOU HAVE A GREAT VOICE.
I KNOW WHAT HOWIE IS SAYING.
YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT EASIER ON
YOURSELF WITH A SONG WE ALL
KNOW.
HAVING DISCOVERING SOMETHING FOR
THE FIRST TIME, LIKE IT WAS FOR
ME, I LOVE THOSE MOMENTS.
YOU HAVE TO LIVE BY YOUR OWN
DECISION.
WHETHER THE SONG WAS KNOWN OR
NOT, I DON'T THINK IT MATTERS
BECAUSE YOU DID BRILLIANT, LIKE
I SAID, TONIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT LIKE A STAR GLOW
ABOUT YOU, AUBREY.
THE PERFORMANCE WASN'T PERFECT,
BUT THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT
YOU.
- THANK YOU, SIMON.
- GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
AUBREY.
TO VOTE FOR AUBREY, GO TO
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HER MAKING
THE FINALS AND GOING BACK TO
SINGING IN THE BATHROOMS AT
WORK.
SO GET VOTING.
COMING UP...
YOU'RE A GREAT
PERFORMING.
YOU'RE A DANCER.
YOU MADE YO YO COOL.
IT WAS THE MOST
CREATIVE DANCING I'VE EVER SEEN.
TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BE
THE BIGGEST RESULTS SHOW OF THE
SEASON SO FAR.
YOUR VOTES WILL PUT TWO OF
TONIGHT'S ACTS STRAIGHT INTO THE
FINALS, AND WE'LL HAVE THE
INSTANT SAVE VOTE, WHERE ONE
MORE ACT WILL GO THROUGH.
WE WE'LL HAVE THE LINEUP FOR
NEXT WEEK'S FINALS.
TO RELIEVE THE TENSION, WE'LL
ALSO HAVE AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE
FROM THE BRAND-NEW MUSICAL
"& JULIET."
WE START AT 8:00 EASTERN.
DO NOT MISS IT.
NOW, AT THE AUDITIONS, SIMON
SAID THAT IN THE PAST, YO-YO
ACTS HAVE ALL BEEN A BIT BORING.
THEN THIS GUY PROCEEDED TO
TOTALLY REWRITE THE BOOK ON
WHAT'S POSSIBLE WITH A YO-YO.
THAT WAS GOOD BY THE
WAY.
TONIGHT HE'S HOPING TO
RAISE THE BAR EVEN FURTHER.
FROM YOKOHAMA, JAPAN, HERE'S
SHU TAKADA.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I WAS A
REALLY SHY KID.
YO YO CHANGED MY LIFE.
MY DAD PLAYED THE YO YO AS A
HOBBY.
THAT'S WHY I PLAYED THE YO YO.
MY FAMILY TOOK ME TO YO YO
COMPETITIONS.
I WAS GETTING TO BE A MORE
OUTGOING PERSON.
NOW I'M A SIX-TIME YO YO
CHAMPION.
AS LONG AS I HAVE THE YO YO, I
FEEL LIKE I'M THE BEST ONE IN
THE WORLD.
WHEN I STARTED YO YO, I NEVER
THOUGHT IT WOULD BRING ME TO
"AGT."
I WAS REALLY NERVOUS, BUT IT WAS
MY BEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE EVER.
- YOU MADE YO YO COOL.
- THE BEST YO YOing
WE'VE EVER SEEN.
I HAVE TO HONE MY SKILLS FOR
THIS STAGE.
THAT'S WHY I TRIED TO MAKE A LOT
OF NEW TRICKS, MORE BIG MOVES.
I HAVE 1,500 YO YOs.
I'M GOING TO USE A L.E.D. YO YO.
WHAT I DO IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
I'M HERE TO WIN THE ENTIRE
COMPETITION.
I WANT TO BE A YO YO SUPERHERO
ON THE STAGE.

COUNTRY TONIGHT.
JAPAN HAS TO BE PROUD.
I AM SO PROUD THAT YOU'RE ON THE
SHOW.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF
HOURS...
HOWIE IS ONLY SAYING
THAT BECAUSE I SAW HIS TWITTER

VERY RUDE REMARKS.

WHEN THEY AUDITIONED, SIMON SAID
THEY ARE THE BEST DANCE ACT WE

TO SQUISH CLOSER TOGETHER TO GET
THE FULL EFFECT OF THE
PERFORMANCE.
HERE MORE ABOUT THE MAYYAS.
THE MAYYAS ARE 36 GIRLS FROM
DIFFERENT REGION.
WE COME FROM A COUNTRY WHERE WE
FACE A LOT OF CHALLENGES.
WE FOUND OUR POWER IN THE LOVE
OF OUR SISTERHOOD.
BEING HERE IS OUR CHANCE TO
PROVE TO THE WORLD WHAT AN ARAB
WOMAN CAN DO.
IF YOU FIND SOMETHING YOU
LOVE, YOU WILL SUCCEED NO MATTER
- WHAT.

TO EMPOWER YOU EVEN MORE.

GAVE US A LOT OF HOPE THAT
IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE A CAREER
IN DANCE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW I'M REALLY
PROUD OF YOU.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, ALL OF YOU.
FOR THIS PERFORMANCE WE'RE
STANDING ON THE BIGGEST STAGE OF
