Please give it up for
your host, Terry Crews!
This is the final!
Yes!
Man, we have seen some awesome
talent across the season,
and now the fight is on
to be crowned
"best in the world."
The acts will perform again
tonight,
and we'll find out who's won
in our big season finale
next week.
That decision is in the hands
of our superfans
from the 50 states of America.
Now,
ten acts have been put
into the finals
by our superfans
and by the Golden Buzzer.
But this is AGT, we don't do
normal around here.
So we have a big surprise
for you.
- Simon, tell everybody.
- What it is.
Okay, so, we decided that
we would bring in
two wildcards.
All right, we got wildcards.
This is awesome.
First up...
this performer comes to us
from Europe.
She won "Spain's Got Talent,"
and she gave us one of
the biggest "what?" moments
of the season.
She's Cristina Ramos.
When the superfans chose me,
it was, incredible.
Cristina Ramos!
The audience
was screaming my name.
"Cristina!"
It was like a dream.
My daily life,
I live in my house
in front of the sea.
I am a quiet person,
a peaceful person.
Music is my life.
But there is other side
of me.
When I sing rock,
I absolutely transform.
I release the beast that
I have inside of me,
and it's amazing.
I never thought in
all my life
I would be singing
for all the world
with the best of the best.
This opportunity means
all for me.
I cannot let it go.
For the final, I will try
something special that
will be my best performance.
Winning "America's Got Talent".
The Champions"
will prove to myself that
I belong here.
Wow.
Thank you, guys.
Wow.
Cristina Ramos!
Wow.
Mel B.
Aww.
What do you think?
Even though I knew
you were gonna turn into
this crazy rock chick,
I still didn't expect it.
I'm like, "My God",
she's so angelic and opera,"
and then this
wild side comes out of you.
And that combo is just
a killer, it's brilliant.
I love it, love it, love it.
It's very exciting,
very exciting.
Heidi, your opinion.
That was another
wow performance.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
- I mean, it's like there are.
- Notes in there
- I don't think I've ever heard.
- Before.
It's like, "Yeah"!
It's like a wild animal
on the stage, I love it.
Howie.
You know, um, tonight,
it's gonna be impossible.
You just set a bar.
You opened up a show
amongst winners.
You're already a superstar,
and thank you for gracing
our world-renowned stage.
Thank you so much.
Simon.
I've gotta tell you,
that vocal was insanely good.
And you know what?
My biggest buzz is the time
I witness a star
for the first time.
And you may have just thrown
this whole show up in the air,
because anything could happen
after that.
Good luck tonight, Cristina.
Please, make some more noise
for Cristina Ramos.
I wish I could sing like her.
That would be so much fun.
So much fun.
Only one comedian made it
into the finals,
and you're about to see why.
He's Preacher Lawson.
- People think it's easy.
- To be funny,
But it's actually really
a strenuous process.
And a lot of people give up
too soon.
- I think there's comedians.
- Out there.
That are way funnier than me.
But they'll never be seen,
because they don't work
like I work.
- For eight years I was.
- Doing standup,
And I was shattered.
I went broke.
- I got to the point where.
- I was like,
"Man, I just wanna quit."
But I just kept pushing,
and then I got on.
"America's Got Talent."
Season 12,
I lost to Darci.
Darci Lynne!
I was like, "If I push"
a little harder,
"I know I'll be fine."
- And now all that hard work.
- Is paying off,
- Because I'm on "America's Got.
- The Champions."
Preacher Lawson!
- I really think.
- In my heart and soul
I can win this show.
I'mma win!
I'm coming for you, Darci.
- Even though she didn't.
- Make it through,
But, I mean, whatever.
And loh, she has?
Are you serious?
Darci Lynne was added as
a wildcard?
Why?
What?
What?
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All y'all.
Thank you so much.
- And I did that sober,
- that's crazy.
Yes, I'm excited, man.
I don'tl do most things
sober. I don't really drink.
- I don't like the way.
- Alcohol tastes.
Everybody know
alcohol is nasty.
I know this 'cause
I've never seen anybody
take a shot and not slap
a table,
that's how I know.
- You ever see someone's face.
- When they take a shot?
They just like, ""!
Why are you doing that?
It just makes you dizzy.
- Like, if you.
- Can't afford alcohol,
Just start spinning in circles,
that's all you need to do.
"What you doing?"
"Girl you know I don't"
get paid till Friday.
I'm trying to... I'm trying
"to take a couple shots."
Standup comedy's pretty cool.
- It's one of the only jobs.
- You can drink.
And, and work.
- My last job I could do that.
- As well.
My last job was great.
I made a lot of money,
I got to choose my hours.
It was a great job.
- There's pros and cons.
- To drug dealing,
But for the most part,
like, II did so well.
You know?
I just did great.
The job before that,
I used to work at a gym, yep.
- It's funny when.
- You work at a gym.
You notice things, right?
- Like, you notice that men.
- That go to the gym...
- Men only work out.
- Their upper body, right?
'Cause they're dumb.
- They're like,
- "Well, I wanna get buff."
Like, "That's cool, bro",
but leg day, all right?"
- Got all these men walking.
- Around.
- Bodies shaped like.
- The letter T,
Like, you look dumb.
- You belong on "Sesame Street,"
- that's where you belong.
That's...
- "Today's word is.
- 'testosterone.'"
"Here I go."
Yeah, that's where you belong.
Women do the exact opposite,
'cause women want a big booty,
- but they don't wanna get buff,
- right?
- So, you got all these women.
- Walking around.
Bodies shaped like a T-Rex
thinking they fine.
Like, "Hey..."
No, look like a really
attractive ostrich right now,
that's what you look like.
- Women are so afraid of.
- Getting buff.
They are so afraid, you know?
You got men in the gym
trying so hard to get buff
- and they can't,
- they can't get big.
And women think they just
gonna pick up one dumbbell...
Just one.
Like, "Hey..."
"what this dumbbell do?
- "I just wanna pick it up."
- And see what it does, okay?
"I just wanna pick it up"
and see what it does.
"That's all I wanna do, okay?
"I just wanna...
"See what it does!
Katrina mad!"
Wow.
My God.
My God.
- All right, y'all better laugh.
- At that joke,
It cost me $6.95, man.
My name is Preacher Lawson.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate y'all.
Thank you.
Yes!
Hey.
Preacher Lawson!
- I thought you was gonna come.
- With your shirt off.
Mel B.
Why are you
coming to me first?
Um, you know that
I'm a fan of yours.
You are just funny.
Justno matter what you say,
how you say it,
you could be saying anything,
and I'd be laughing
and screaming with happiness
and joy andoh...
go to the next person.
I'm going to the next person.
- You can keep talking.
- I don't mind, I don't mind.
Simon, what do you think?
I felt tonight
I wasn't looking
at a competition.
I felt, genuinely,
I was just watching a star.
It's as simple as that.
- No, really.
- I really mean that, Preacher.
Thank you.
- Everything about you.
- Has got better,
And that's what...
And his body got better.
- And you...
- What you talking 'bout?
And you are fit.
Look at these muscles.
- Thank you.
- And you were brilliant.
Thank you.
Howie.
You give us everything.
- You know, there are funny.
- Physical comedians,
- There are funny.
- Verbal comedians,
There's great storytellers;
You are all those in one.
And that's why we love you.
And I think the people that
represent each of the 50 states
are talking about you
right now.
And I'm so proud that
a comedian
has made it this far.
- Yes.
- I love you, buddy.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
Preacher, now was it worth
ripping off your clothes?
It was worthyes!
Yes.
- Even if they didn't laugh,
- I wanted to rip off my clothes.
All right?
- I just wanted to show.
- I did my homework,
That's all I did, yeah.
- II appreciate it.
- I know the feeling.
- I know the feeling.
- I know you do.
- Good luck tonight, Preacher.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Please make some noise for
shirtless Preacher Lawson.
Here's one of the judges'
wildcards.
She really doesn't need me
to say anything apart from
she won AGT in 2017.
It's Darci Lynne.
The first round of "AGT".
"The Champions" was crazy.
All of the butterflies from
the very first audition
just came back, like,
ten times worse.
The reaction from the crowd
was out of this world.
- I think you deserve to be.
- The world champion.
Definitely wanted to
feel that feeling forever.
Leaving the competition is...
Darci Lynne.
The chance of winning that
title was gone.
Then I got the call to be
a wildcard.
I am grateful to have
another chance
to win this competition,
but it's also, like,
terrifying.
How am I gonna come back
and blow the roof off
the place?
I would definitely consider
Petunia my lucky charm.
She helped me get
the Golden Buzzer,
she helped me win season 12...
Darci Lynne!
And she is a diva,
and she likes to win.
But there's only one winner.
I'm not gonna let it go.
My carrots.
My carrots.
My carrots.
What?
Look at all these people.
Hello to you up there...
Can ya hear me?
That's amazing.
Petunia, what are
you gonna sing today?
Well, I want to sing
Italian opera.
That was amazing.
That was amazing.
Darci Lynne!
Simon.
Wow, wow, wow, Darci.
I actually believe this,
for so many reasons,
is your best ever performance
you've ever given.
Thank you.
It's hard enough at
your age to sing opera,
but you're doing it
through a rabbit.
I think you may win tonight.
Wow.
Mel B, do you agree?
My gosh,
of course I agree.
I mean, just your delivery
and your confidence,
'cause you are self-taught,
and you've worked so hard
to get this far.
You deserve everything
and much, much more.
Howie, what do you think
about this performance?
It was truly amazing because
we didn't know you sing opera.
You've gone through a whole
season of AGT
and you still surprise.
I think he's right, I think
you got a shot at this tonight.
Best of luck, young lady.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, good luck tonight,
Darci.
Everybody show some love
for Darci Lynne.
Give yourselves a nice
round of applause, everyone.
More than any other show
I've done before,
this is the one I'm most
curious to see who's gonna win.
Yeah.
- We should put a bet in,
- amongst us.
Well, when it comes to bets,
you know that I always win.
Okay, here we go again,
here we go.
We've got Heidi
and the Golden Buzzer
to thank for this act.
Yes!
- This couple does some of.
- The most dangerous.
And terrifying things
ever seen on AGT.
Here's Deadly Games.
On "America's Got Talent,"
we were so close to get
to the finals,
and I think we just left
too soon.
Deadly Games.
We knew we could
have done better.
We had to come back even more
dangerous than before.
When we got
the Golden Buzzer from Heidi,
it was something
really special for us.
I let all the emotions go.
I just start crying.
I was happy.
I felt like we have a chance.
"Champions."
It felt so good to shock
the first time.
And we're gonna shock
the judges even more
for the finale.
This is the most dangerous
and stressful routine
I ever performed in my life.
When it's go time, I try to
block everything else
from the picture.
I'm looking in his eyes,
he look at me,
and we have this trust
to each other.
It is a natural reaction
of any human beings
to flinch, to run, to move.
And she had to train her mind
not to do that.
We want to be the champions,
and we are willing to do
whatever it takes to get it.
Whoa!
Whoa!
One shot.
Whoa.
That was close!
He's a little off tonight.
Yes.
Don't say that.
- He is.
- He is.
No.
No.
Whoa!
No.
Yes.
That was unreal.
Yes!
Wait.
Wait?
Wait.
We are not done yet.
Judges, please, bring those
balloons with you
and join me on the stage.
- I'm scared.
- It's okay.
Anna will show your place.
You're gonna hold balloon.
Okay, you have to hold...
Each of the judges will be
hold a line of balloons.
And I will shoot all
the balloons
with my crossbow.
No.
Keep yours still.
I'll hide behind you.
Judges, are you ready?
- No.
- No.
- This does not look even.
- Actually not.
- This doesn't look even.
- At all.
Please don't move.
- Don't move.
- Silence please.
Yours is tilting down.
My God.
Hey, you didn't thought I was
about to do that, right?
We can't do that...
not without Terry.
Come on, join us, my friend.
Come on.
I thought I was out of it.
Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry...
All right, now,
do not move, please.
Stay on your positions.
I wanna go home.
Let's get serious.
This needs to be the most
precise shot of my career.
Yes, please.
Here we go.
My God.
Yeah!
Whoo!
That was amazing.
Please put your hands
together
for the most brave judges
in the planet.
My God.
You're crazy.
Hey, give it up for.
Deadly Games.
Thank you. Thank you.
My God, Heidi.
I mean, can we talk about
my sweaty armpits right now?
I mean, that was so scary.
But now I feel like, you know,
we got a little closer,
- and we experienced this.
- Together,
And I kinda loved it.
Boom.
I did get a bit worried,
because during your act,
- there was one.
- Or two things that
I know didn't go as planned.
Then when you asked us
to go onstage,
- I was like,
- "Hold on a minute."
"What's gonna happen here?"
But I actually think
that worked in your favor,
'cause the stakes were raised
even higher and you carried on.
Thank you.
Howie.
I'm just happy to be alive.
Yeah.
Woo-hoo, we're alive!
We survived it.
Well done.
Simon.
You got through tonight
as a champion,
genuinely, because I think
under the danger act category,
this is the best, I think,
in the world.
Yes.
Really. I really mean that.
Give it up for Deadly Games.
You did feel that wind go by?
God.
It was so scary.
I went like, shh-shump.
- I actually thought.
- If he missed,
- I wasn't as nervous as.
- You guys, 'cause I...
Why not?
- 'Cause one of you would have.
- Died first.
If the arrow went into
one of you, I'm cool.
You were my protection.
Now moving right along,
here's our next finalist.
It takes a lot of guts
to get up and perform on AGT.
But when it comes to bravery,
this singer is in a class
of her own.
She's Simon's Golden Buzzer,
it's Kechi.
Aww.
Life can totally change in,
like, a second.
And if you're lucky,
it can change for the better.
- It's been about a year and half.
- Since I was on.
- "America's Got Talent"
- season 12.
And stepping out on that stage
after so long,
I was super nervous.
To get the Golden Buzzer
from Simon
is honestly the most
validating thing
that has happened to me
since I've been on the show.
I started to actually believe
that I have a good voice.
It makes me feel like
I can do anything.
Everyone is beginning to see
what I've always seen in Kechi,
just how special...
How special she is.
When you're faced
with a difficult obstacle,
the only way out is to take
that first step.
And I feel like that's what
being a champion is,
making that conscious decision
to not stay in darkness.
Every time I overcome
an obstacle,
I feel that much stronger.
And now to have the chance
to win this...
my God, that would be...
That would be so incredible.
Kechi!
Simon, how you feeling
about this?
Kechi, there's always
one word that comes back to me
to describe you...
and that is "inspiration."
You are one of my favorite
contestants.
"The Champions" final would not
have been complete without you,
that's all I can say.
You are a treasured star.
I love you.
Howie.
You know what?
You just make my heart burst.
And I love looking at
your mom's face
while you're on stage
and watch her heart burst.
And I think you do that
to all of America.
You are a champion inside
and out, young lady.
Mel B.
Well, I do think
you have become
one of America's
favorite acts.
And we've witnessed
your voice mature into
a beautiful-sounding voice.
Having said that,
- you're probably not gonna.
- Like me, but I think...
Don't go there.
- This song for me...
- Don't go there.
We lost you a little bit.
I feel like we did lose you
a little bit.
Sorry, I don't think
you're booing loud enough.
I'm just saying it
from my opinion.
That's all.
Kechi...
what do you feel
about what Mel B said?
I always appreciate
honest feedback,
- regardless of what it's like.
- Or how it sounds.
I think that that's
the best way
to grow as an artist,
so thank you.
Well, good luck tonight.
People, let's hear it
one more time for Kechi.
This guys just dominates
the stage.
He's a powerhouse singer
who takes the roof off
every time he performs.
It's Brian Justin Crum.
When I was a kid
school was hard for me.
I never really had a place
that I belonged.
Because Brian was picked on
by other kids,
it broke his heart, really.
He just had a big struggle.
He found his life in music,
he really did.
My mom put me into
the musical theater program
after school.
Being onstage was
the first time that
I ever felt like I was
celebrated,
and it made me different
in a good way.
Music became my escape.
He just had a dream.
When he was 13, he told me
he was gonna sing on Broadway.
I was like, "Okay, Brian."
As I've been trying to chase
this dream of mine,
"America's Got Talent"
has really been
the beginning of me
finding my confidence.
So, coming back for.
"Champions,"
- I really wanted to go back.
- To my roots.
And sing something that
was theatrical.
Brian Justin Crum!
The fact that I was
voted through to this finale,
it means so much
and I'm grateful.
And I definitely feel like
I have some
unfinished business here.
I think, this time around,
singing these songs
is gonna be my chance to win.
Whoa.
Brian Justin Crum!
That was amazing.
Wow.
Mel B.
That was massive.
You know what I like about you,
is you take us somewhere.
And you start off small,
then you get big.
That is how you do a proper
slam dunk, in my opinion.
Simon, what do you think
about this performance?
You've come back and proved
a point to us
that you are a champion.
I believe this performance
may change your life.
Um, and thank you for
coming back.
That was a magic moment.
Thank you.
Brian, what do you think
about what the judges
had to say about your
performance tonight?
- I justl respect you all.
- So much.
- And this has been such a long.
- Journey for me,
From the time I first stepped
onto this exact stage to now.
And I thank you all so much
for this opportunity,
- and I'm so grateful.
- To all of you.
And... I justlmy heart is
very full right now.
- Well, good luck tonight,
- Brian.
Everybody, let's hear it
one more time
for Brian Justin Crum!
The judges put this act
through as a wildcard,
and it's easy to see why.
Not only was he a superstar
NFL long snapper,
he's now
a world-class magician.
It's Jon Dorenbos.
It's funny how the magic
of life plays itself out.
So many things in my life
have been
because of a second chance.
I was really proud
- of my first performance on.
- "Champions."
Leaving the competition
is...
Jon Dorenbos.
- Playing in the NFL,
- I was taught that.
- When you lose,
- you figure it out.
- What could I have done.
- Differently that.
- Would have got me that.
- Extra vote that.
- Maybe would have.
- Sent me through.
And then all of a sudden,
I got the call
that I'm a wildcard.
- He's been through so much.
- In his life,
From losing his parents
at such a young age
to losing his dream of being
- a professional football.
- Player,
Because he almost died
of a heart aneurysm.
Jon is such a fighter.
It makes me so proud to be
his wife
and to stand next to him.
I've been a wildcard
my whole life.
I believe that everything
happens for a reason,
and I believe that
there's magic everywhere.
- And now to have.
- A second chance here,
I know that I'm in
the right spot and that
I'm doing what I'm meant
to be doing.
I'm here to win it.
Yeah, baby.
Thank you.
Man.
What's going on, baby?
Man.
It is good to be here.
I'm the wildcard, baby,
it's time to have some fun.
I'mma tell ya.
- All right, here's the deal,
- I got four chalkboards.
They're numbered one, two,
three, and four.
Now, Simon, Heidi, Mel, Howie,
you guys are gonna choose
- which chalkboard is gonna.
- Represent you guys.
- So, hey, you don't know.
- What's behind there.
I've drawn something
- and I've written some stuff.
- On each one.
- We're gonna get to it.
- In a little bit.
So, Simon, you want...
Obviously, number one.
All right, number one it is.
Simon, number one.
Heidi, guess what.
Same thing, do you want
two, three, or four?
- Yeah, I would like to be.
- The number two then.
Number two it is.
- You guys are making this.
- Easy on me.
Mel B, three or four?
I will go for
the number three.
Three it is.
Mel B...
I know what I wanna be.
Howie, my man, number four.
- Now, you guys had.
- A free choice.
- This is what I love about.
- This show.
This show changed my life.
- Howie, you've toured.
- The country, man.
You've toured the world.
- You've sold out venues.
- All over the place.
- Right.
- And I wanna be just like you.
So, I actually got cities
off of your tour schedule.
- So, here's a bunch of.
- Cities and states.
- Of places that you've performed.
- That I wanna perform one day.
Okay.
- So, we're gonna pick one.
- Right now.
When I riffle, say stop.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
- Say stop.
- Stop riffling.
- You wanna keep going.
- Or do you want that...
- No, I wanna stop.
- Are you sure?
- I really need to stop.
- Okay.
- There you go.
- Don't look at it.
Okay.
- Slide it out,
- keep it right there.
All right.
- I started AGT doing.
- A card trick.
So, Mel B, we're gonna do
just that.
I'm gonna do a card trick.
- I'm gonna make it.
- Really simple on ya.
- All you're gonna do is as.
- I riffle through here,
All you gotta do is say stop.
Are you ready?
So, just say stop.
- Stop.
- Right here?
Watch carefully.
I'm gonna rip a corner.
Like so.
Queen of hearts.
Hold on the queen, Mel.
Heidi, let me see your hand.
It's when you take the corner
that that corner disappears,
just like that.
Gone.
- Now, there's.
- A stack of pictures.
- That have been.
- Sitting right here.
- I haven't touched them.
- I haven't come close to them.
- Why don't we pick up those.
- Pictures and see if there's.
Something underneath.
- Pick up everything?
- Pick 'em all up.
You're gonna find one thing.
There's a corner to a card
right there.
Now, hold on.
Mel B, take that corner,
- make sure it fits perfect,
- right there.
- I don't wanna touch it.
- I can't get it.
- Get it, get it.
- She's got nails.
Howie to the rescue.
Yeah, there we go.
- Make sure it fits perfect,
- right there.
Yes, it does.
- And that is, in fact,
- the corner.
Now, Heidi...
I love this.
- Heidi, your whole career.
- You've done outrageous...
What is this?
Well, I'm a witch, obviously.
- At Halloween,
- you go over the top.
- But these are pictures of you.
- Whether it's Halloween,
- Whether it's red carpets,
- it's just all the cool events.
- That you've been able to go to.
- Yeah?
- And guess what, you're gonna.
- Do, the same thing Howie did.
All you're gonna do
as I riffle is just say stop.
- Should I slide my hand in it?
- Whatever you want.
- All righty.
- I'm ready when you are.
Riffle it.
- Shh...
- Whoop.
- Okay, don't look at it.
- I'm not looking.
Slide it over just like this.
- Simon, I've got.
- A deck of cards here.
All you gotta do is
just touch one.
Just touch it.
Now, lookhold on.
- I'm gonna give you.
- The opportunity.
Do you wanna keep this one,
- or do you wanna change.
- Your mind?
- I'll keep it.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- Remember this moment.
- I'm giving you a chance.
- To change your mind.
- No, I'm gonna keep it.
- Here it is.
Take it and look at it
if you want.
Howie, what did you pick?
What this is?
- Turn it over.
- Show everybody what it is.
You and I are going somewhere,
buddy, and where is it?
- Tulsa, Oklahoma.
- There it is.
Hey, let me see it.
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The judges had a free choice
- of whatever chalkboard.
- They wanted.
Hey, Terry, can you do me
a favor?
There's a chalkboard
with Howie's face on there.
- Why don't you go and turn that.
- Chalkboard around for me, man,
'Cause I drew something
on that chalkboard.
- Howie, you and I are going to.
- Tulsa, Oklahoma.
- How?
- Mel B...
You could have selected
any card you wanted to.
You chose the queen of hearts.
- Terry, spin that thing around.
- For me.
- I had a premonition that.
- Not only would she gonna choose.
- That chalkboard,
- but you were gonna pick.
The queen of hearts.
That's crazy.
- Heidi...
- How is that possible?
- You've done a lot of.
- Cool things in your career.
What did you do today
with that picture?
I was a schmetterling
for Halloween.
- What is that?
- I was a butterfly.
- That's athat's a butterfly?
- Yeah.
That's amazing.
You chose number two.
Terry, do me a favor,
turn over number two.
I made a prediction and drew
a picture before the show
- that you were gonna be.
- A butterfly.
- Yes!
- Wow.
- Hold on.
- We got one left.
We got one left.
Simon, I told youthere was
a defining moment
- when you could have.
- Changed your mind,
- And you said, "No."
- Yeah.
- You picked a card.
- I did.
What do you got?
Three of clubs.
You had the first choice.
- You could have chosen any.
- Chalkboard you wanted,
One, two, three, or four.
My man went with number one.
- I wrote a card down on.
- The back of that chalkboard.
Terry, let me see it, my man.
- All right.
- Turn that around.
- That there is.
- The three of clubs.
Thank you, thank you.
But hold on.
That's crazy.
Howie, in the quarter finals
of "America's Got Talent,"
I had a huge map on that stage.
Roll that clip.
No.
- Just like that,
- in Season 11,
You chose Oklahoma,
just like you did today.
How's that possible?
Mel B...
- You chose any card.
- You wanted to,
And you chose a heart.
- Heart's follow you everywhere.
- You go,
Because in the first round of.
- "America's Got Talent
- The Champions,"
- I asked the audience to write.
- Words of what.
Described a champion.
- You could have chosen any words.
- You wanted to.
You selected whatever words
you wanted, and lo and behold,
Heart.
Predicted back then
and there's your heart.
Now, Heidi...
My God.
I believe it was
the semifinal, season 11.
- I sat up here.
- And I had all you guys think of.
- Whatever you wanted,
- and you could draw.
Whatever you want.
And in season 11, I made
a prediction that today
you'd go back to that Halloween
party as a butterfly.
- Right there.
- You drew a butterfly.
- No.
- Woah.
Now, hold on.
The moment it comes down to.
I wanted to end my journey
the same way I started,
because in season 11,
when he just thought of
any card he wanted to,
my man Simon
- picked the three of clubs,
- right there,
- Just like he picked today.
- No.
And I ended.
The same way I started...
with Simon Cowell holding
the three of clubs.
My name's Jon Dorenbos, baby.
It's a great day to be alive.
Peace out.
I love every single one of you.
Thank you, guys.
My man.
Jon Dorenbos!
Wow.
Come up here, man.
Wow.
Heidi, your thoughts.
Yes!
I mean,
you are multi-talented.
You really, really are.
- I mean, you speak.
- From the heart,
And you boost our spirit.
- Every time when.
- You come onto the stage,
You're so entertaining,
and so good.
Simon.
You've come back and just
blown the roof off
with what I've just seen.
- I mean, genuinely, I'm not just.
- Saying that, Jon.
We're not voting,
the 50 states are voting,
you have a shot.
- Thank you.
- And that was amazing.
Thank you.
I mean, purely fantastic.
Awesome, man.
Howie, your thoughts.
My gosh,
I'm, like, just stunned.
I really am.
- There are only two words.
- To describe.
What you did tonight.
Wild card.
My gosh, I'll take it, baby.
You are a champ.
Now, Jon,
being a wildcard tonight,
how do you feel
about coming back?
Let me tell you.
- I'm gonna share something with.
- You guys for the first time,
'Cause my wife and I haven't
told anybody.
Before this show,
a few days ago magic happened.
- We got a bun in the oven.
- And this guy right here.
Is about to be a dad.
Yeah.
And my wife's out there.
Baby, I love you.
And a little Dorenbos is
gonna be running around here,
so take cover.
Well, good luck tonight, Jon.
Thank you.
Please give it up for
Jon Dorenbos.
This singer has got more
heart and soul than
just about anybody on
the planet, and she's only 11.
She's Howie's Golden Buzzer.
It's Angelica Hale.
You know, when I first
walked out on my AGT stage,
I had a dream to be performing
for my whole entire life.
Who do you wanna be like?
I wanna be the next
Whitney Houston.
Wow.
- I have a feeling.
- We may be looking.
At a star in the future.
- It's not just.
- A dream anymore,
I'm living my dream.
- Let's get a take here,
- are you ready for it?
Yeah.
- It's crazy to think about.
- Just seven years ago,
You know, we almost lost her.
She was fighting for her life
in the hospital.
And now here she is,
11 years old
and, you know, sky's the limit.
And now, I'm in the finals of.
"America's Got Talent
The Champions."
I'm a little more nervous
than before,
- because it all comes down.
- To this.
Like, I'm competing against
Susan Boyle and Paul Potts.
But honestly,
I believe in myself.
I thought it was impossible
to get out of the hospital,
to be where I am today.
Well, look where I am,
- and I'm not gonna stop.
- Fighting.
And I'm gonna do as much
as I can to win.
"The Champions."
Thank you.
Angelica Hale!
Whoo!
Howie, Angelica.
My gosh.
Angelica, you're living up
to your name of being an angel.
The song lives up to
its name, you know?
"Impossible."
You're only 11 years old.
I don't know...
How the 50 states can choose
a winner.
You're wonderful.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I have to say that was such
an obvious improvement
since we last saw you.
- And I could see how committed.
- You were.
- And then how relieved you were.
- At the end.
That you got everything right.
It was absolutely brilliant.
- Thank you.
- Well done.
Simon.
I've said this to you
and a lot of other people
who've come back
and compete again.
To me, you deserve so much
respect just for doing that,
because it showed me how much
you really, really wanted this.
Well done.
Thank you, thank you.
All right, well, good luck
tonight, Angelica.
Thank you.
Best of luck to
Angelica Hale.
She wants that title.
She wants that title.
- She wants that title.
- Exactly.
She's a fighter.
I put this act into
the finals
with the Golden Buzzer.
When I saw her perform,
it was a no-brainer.
She creates beautiful art
with sand.
Here's Kseniya Simonova.
Before my last performance,
I was pretty nervous.
It had been nine years since
I first stepped on
the "Ukraine's Got Talent"
stage.
But when I stepped to my
sand table,
I felt like I'm at home.
- Although I don't see.
- The audience,
I only see my table, I felt
they're together with me.
They're feeling the story,
which I'm showing.
And then Terry in his beautiful
red costume was running...
I have never been
more impressed
by the ability to move people
the way you did today.
I never expected that
I will see Golden Buzzer
in real life, like,
standing on the stage
and this golden rain
fall on me.
I felt like my heart,
which stopped beating,
started beating again.
Tonight, through sand,
I'm going to show the world
- love can save the life.
- Of a person.
It's a story which is
about war.
But it's also the story
of a family, of love,
of life and death.
I have to represent
my country.
So, tonight I'm ready to do
what I have to do to win.
Hostilities exist.
There is no blinking at
the fact
that our people,
our territory,
and our interests are in
grave danger.
With confidence in
our armed forces,
with the unbounding
determination...
Look how fast she goes.
She's likeshh.
"Life always wins."
"Love..."
Wow.
Kseniya Simonova!
Thank you.
Mel B.
You know,
I think I'm discovering
everyone's really giving it
more than their all.
I mean, what you crammed into
such a short amount of time
was a proper, full-on...
Not just story,
it was a whole series of books.
It's like you left everything
right there on the sand.
And I really do hope
the superfans vote
for you tonight.
Well done.
Heidi.
I mean, you really are
a true artist.
And it's so amazing to sit here
and watch you do this live
in front of our very eyes,
'cause you're so in it.
- You know, I can see it,
- how you got mad.
When the war started
and you're all likewah.
I mean, it was really, truly
amazing to watch this.
I loved it.
Really good.
Thank you.
Simon.
I never thought I would be
saying on a show
I understand the power of sand.
But this was one of the most
beautiful, creative things
I have ever seen on this show.
Genuinely.
Please give it up
one more time
for Kseniya Simonova.
Here's a champion from.
"Britain's Got Talent"
and one of the biggest success
stories in the history of.
"Got Talent" worldwide.
He's opera singer, Paul Potts.
- Woah.
- Woah.
Singing's who I am.
And I have very high
expectations of myself,
- 'cause I don't wanna fail.
- Myself.
I want to be constantly
improving.
Paul Potts!
- I think the first thing.
- I felt when.
- The result came through.
- Was relief.
Not to made it through
to the final,
I would have been really
disappointed in myself.
Somebody that's been with me
through thick and thin
is my wife, Jules.
She's always wanted me
to continue doing what I love,
- even when we couldn't afford.
- For me to do it.
Before "Britain's Got Talent,"
- we were struggling.
- Financially then.
Things were tough.
Paul, at times,
was working two jobs.
I was working my job, doing
as much overtime as possible.
You know, we were just trying
to make it, day by day.
But I always believed, um,
in his opera.
I think Jules had
a little more belief in me
than I had in myself.
So I'm really excited that
she's joining me here.
In a way, that makes things
come full circle,
because she was there
in the audience when
I won "Britain's Got Talent."
I can't not give everything.
I cannot walk away from
that stage
still having something left
to give.
I'm really happy to have gotten
through to the final.
And so now, I have to step up
to the plate as a winner.
Wow.
Whoo!
Yes.
Wow.
Whoa.
Thank you.
Paul Potts.
Wow.
Howie, what do you think
about this performance?
II loved it.
I mean, I'm not an opera fan.
I am a Paul Potts fan.
I love what you do.
You couldn't have done any more
to make it any better.
It was perfection.
Mel B.
I mean, you stand there
and you deliver
such a stellar, killer
performance.
And then you just go,
"Yeah, that's what I did.
Nailed it."
Like it's just nothing.
I feel so honored and so lucky
to be sitting
in the best seat in the house.
I can't praise you anymore,
that's it.
It's amazing, you're amazing.
Simon, were you moved
tonight?
More than moved.
The underdog, who was written
off by the music business,
won the first season of.
"Britain's Got Talent,"
- and you got the career.
- You wanted.
That is why you are on
the final of "Champions,"
because you are a champion.
I have a feeling
you have a really good chance
of winning tonight after that.
It was brilliant.
Now, Paul, I understand
you have someone very special
you'd like to dedicate
your performance to tonight.
Aww.
- There is.
- An "America's Got Talent".
Winner that isn't here
tonight...
- Neal E. Boyd.
- Yep.
Like me, he came on
as an underdog,
he gave his all, he won.
And one thing you can never
take away is the fact that
he is a champion.
- Hear, hear.
- He is a winner.
Let's hear it one more time
for Paul Potts.
Yeah.
America loves a magician.
And they don't come any better
than the winner of AGT 2018.
Now he's hoping to be the best
in the world.
He's Shin Lim.
I had so many doubts about
auditioning for.
"America's Got Talent."
But my fiancée, Casey,
she believed in me,
and she pushed me to go
for it.
When she tells me that
she thinks that I'm the best
magician in the world,
she really believes it.
Especially when I don't,
'cause I definitely don't.
Shin Lim!
Ever since I won,
it's just been nonstop.
- You're amazing.
- This is incredible.
I have been much busier
than I was before.
What is going on?
Shin Lim, everybody.
It's all because of her.
- None of that would have.
- Happened.
- I wouldn't even be here at.
- "Champions."
I may have won.
"America's Got Talent,"
but this is a whole nother
ball game.
When else am I gonna be able to
test myself alongside
the best in the world?
- I can't help but think.
- In my head,
What can I do to take magic
to the next level?
And see how far magic can
actually take me.
I think with Casey by my side,
I could win this whole thing.
- Howie.
- Yes.
Just take one of these cards.
- Show it to the camera.
- To the camera?
There.
I'll have the card.
Give it.
Can you open the marker?
Yes.
- Write your name.
- Right over there.
Okay.
- Howie.
- Yeah.
Stand up.
Stand up.
Yeah, can I have the pen?
- How is that possible?
- I'll have the pen?
You can sit back down.
Thank you.
That's your card.
No.
- Howie, that's your name,
- right?
Yes.
Pick one of these cards.
Show it to the camera.
I'll have the card.
Can you open up the marker?
Write your name
right over here.
Very good, show the camera.
Wow.
What the...
Man.
Everybody, Shin Lim.
It's even better up close.
I'm so sad that
I didn't get to go.
My God.
Man, I wish I knew how
you did that.
Where did the cards go?
Where did the cardsokay.
Well, a lot of people do
ask that, Terry.
Um, Howie, can you try
opening your cup?
Just open it up.
No.
Are youno.
No.
Is that your card, Terry?
It looks like...
That's my card
and Howie's card.
Stop it.
No.
Unreal.
Howie, listen, we were there.
- What do you think of that?
- I've...
I had so much to say,
but now I realize I'm holding
cards that were in your mouth.
Why would you do that?
I have a very clean - mouth.
- There we go,
- a little sanitizer.
Heidi, were you impressed?
Of course I was impressed.
I mean, Shin,
you did it yet again.
You know, another...
jaw-dropping performance.
Thank you, Heidi.
Simon, the Great Shin Lim.
I don't think many people
having won the show
would have had the guts
to come back again this year
and do what you've done.
And for that,
you have my utmost respect.
Thank you so much, Simon.
It is the best of the best,
and still within that context,
you were amazing.
Literally amazing.
Well, good luck tonight,
Shin.
One more time for
the Great Shin Lim.
When you think of.
"Got Talent" stars,
one just leaps out.
After her very first audition
on "Britain's Got Talent,"
she became a household name
around the world.
She's in the finals thanks to
Mel B's Golden Buzzer.
Here's Susan Boyle.
Yeah.
Ever since I was a tiny tot,
I've always loved to sing.
As a little girl,
I felt very nervous.
I felt very under-confident.
- Music, it helps you.
- Through it,
Gives you strength.
My mother was very supportive
of my singing.
She had encouraged me singing
in the church choir.
She died in 2007.
My mother wanted me
to chase my dream.
What's your name, darling?
I made a promise to her
that I would do it.
Susan Boyle.
Without my mother, I wouldn't
be the singer I am today.
I'm still following the dream.
I wanted to compete at.
"The Champions,"
because it was a challenge
and I love a challenge.
Susan Boyle!
- This is my golden.
- Opportunity.
To have that promise
fulfilled.
When Mel B gave me that.
Golden Buzzer,
I was pleased,
but was very shocked, as well.
It's hard to put
into words, really.
Everybody has dreams,
and you have to
follow those dreams.
I feel I've been given
the chance to follow mine.
Now I would love to win.
This is the song.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Susan Boyle.
Woo-hoo!
Mel B.
You're so classy and elegant
and effortless.
I mean, if I had
another Golden Buzzer
- I'd press it again and again.
- And again for you.
You're just brilliant,
absolutely brilliant, Susan.
Howie, how 'bout you?
You know, the word 'champion'
isn't even enough
to describe who and how
you perform.
You are more than a champion.
- So, good luck to our superfans.
- Yeah.
They have
a really tough decision.
Heidi, do you agree?
Yes, I mean, Susan Boyle is
in the building, everybody.
Yes!
You singing that song
is everything.
I mean, it gives me
goose pimples,
and I just loved it.
- I love you.
- Goosebumps.
Yeah, it was amazing.
It was absolutely amazing.
Thank you.
Do you have goose pimples
or bumps, Simon?
I have goosebumps on
my goosebumps.
My God, Susan,
that really, really took
me back all those years.
I can remember vividly
how disgusting I was
on the day before you sang
and then what you did
and what happened afterwards.
And to end the show,
it's been an amazing night.
I mean, seriously,
it was fantastic.
You're a champion.
Yes.
Susan, could you
please tell us
what it's like to back on
the "Got Talent" stage.
I enjoyed every second,
and I thoroughly enjoyed
being in America.
Thank you all so much.
Please give it up for
the great Susan Boyle.
That was amazing.
Yeah.
- That brought back so many.
- Good memories.
What a great closer
for the evening.
We started with 12 finalists.
They've gone above and beyond
everything they've
ever done before.
And now the pressure moves to
our panel of superfans
from the 50 states,
because they are gonna
pick the winner.
The vote is on.
One act will be crowned.
"America's Got Talent
The Champions,"
best in the world.
We'll get that big result
in our season finale next week.
From the finalists, the judges,
and from me, Terry Crews,
good night, America.
to the final is...
Preacher Lawson...
Cristina Ramos...
Shin Lim...
Brian Justin Crum...
Paul Potts...
Kechi...
Angelica Hale...
Kseniya Simonova...
Deadly Games...
Susan Boyle...
Jon Dorenbos...
Darci Lynne...
Please give it up for
your host, Terry Crews!
This is the final!
Yes!
Man, we have seen some awesome
talent across the season,
and now the fight is on
to be crowned
"best in the world."
The acts will perform again
tonight,
and we'll find out who's won
in our big season finale
next week.
That decision is in the hands
of our superfans
from the 50 states of America.
Now,
ten acts have been put
into the finals
by our superfans
and by the Golden Buzzer.
But this is AGT, we don't do
normal around here.
So we have a big surprise
for you.
- Simon, tell everybody.
- What it is.
Okay, so, we decided that
we would bring in
two wildcards.
All right, we got wildcards.
This is awesome.
First up...
this performer comes to us
from Europe.
She won "Spain's Got Talent,"
and she gave us one of
the biggest "what?" moments
of the season.
She's Cristina Ramos.
When the superfans chose me,
it was, incredible.
Cristina Ramos!
The audience
was screaming my name.
"Cristina!"
It was like a dream.
My daily life,
I live in my house
in front of the sea.
I am a quiet person,
a peaceful person.
Music is my life.
But there is other side
of me.
When I sing rock,
I absolutely transform.
I release the beast that
I have inside of me,
and it's amazing.
I never thought in
all my life
I would be singing
for all the world
with the best of the best.
This opportunity means
all for me.
I cannot let it go.
For the final, I will try
something special that
will be my best performance.
Winning "America's Got Talent".
The Champions"
will prove to myself that
I belong here.
Wow.
Thank you, guys.
Wow.
Cristina Ramos!
Wow.
Mel B.
Aww.
What do you think?
Even though I knew
you were gonna turn into
this crazy rock chick,
I still didn't expect it.
I'm like, "My God",
she's so angelic and opera,"
and then this
wild side comes out of you.
And that combo is just
a killer, it's brilliant.
I love it, love it, love it.
It's very exciting,
very exciting.
Heidi, your opinion.
That was another
wow performance.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
- I mean, it's like there are.
- Notes in there
- I don't think I've ever heard.
- Before.
It's like, "Yeah"!
It's like a wild animal
on the stage, I love it.
Howie.
You know, um, tonight,
it's gonna be impossible.
You just set a bar.
You opened up a show
amongst winners.
You're already a superstar,
and thank you for gracing
our world-renowned stage.
Thank you so much.
Simon.
I've gotta tell you,
that vocal was insanely good.
And you know what?
My biggest buzz is the time
I witness a star
for the first time.
And you may have just thrown
this whole show up in the air,
because anything could happen
after that.
Good luck tonight, Cristina.
Please, make some more noise
for Cristina Ramos.
I wish I could sing like her.
That would be so much fun.
So much fun.
Only one comedian made it
into the finals,
and you're about to see why.
He's Preacher Lawson.
- People think it's easy.
- To be funny,
But it's actually really
a strenuous process.
And a lot of people give up
too soon.
- I think there's comedians.
- Out there.
That are way funnier than me.
But they'll never be seen,
because they don't work
like I work.
- For eight years I was.
- Doing standup,
And I was shattered.
I went broke.
- I got to the point where.
- I was like,
"Man, I just wanna quit."
But I just kept pushing,
and then I got on.
"America's Got Talent."
Season 12,
I lost to Darci.
Darci Lynne!
I was like, "If I push"
a little harder,
"I know I'll be fine."
- And now all that hard work.
- Is paying off,
- Because I'm on "America's Got.
- The Champions."
Preacher Lawson!
- I really think.
- In my heart and soul
I can win this show.
I'mma win!
I'm coming for you, Darci.
- Even though she didn't.
- Make it through,
But, I mean, whatever.
And loh, she has?
Are you serious?
Darci Lynne was added as
a wildcard?
Why?
What?
What?
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All y'all.
Thank you so much.
- And I did that sober,
- that's crazy.
Yes, I'm excited, man.
I don'tl do most things
sober. I don't really drink.
- I don't like the way.
- Alcohol tastes.
Everybody know
alcohol is nasty.
I know this 'cause
I've never seen anybody
take a shot and not slap
a table,
that's how I know.
- You ever see someone's face.
- When they take a shot?
They just like, ""!
Why are you doing that?
It just makes you dizzy.
- Like, if you.
- Can't afford alcohol,
Just start spinning in circles,
that's all you need to do.
"What you doing?"
"Girl you know I don't"
get paid till Friday.
I'm trying to... I'm trying
"to take a couple shots."
Standup comedy's pretty cool.
- It's one of the only jobs.
- You can drink.
And, and work.
- My last job I could do that.
- As well.
My last job was great.
I made a lot of money,
I got to choose my hours.
It was a great job.
- There's pros and cons.
- To drug dealing,
But for the most part,
like, II did so well.
You know?
I just did great.
The job before that,
I used to work at a gym, yep.
- It's funny when.
- You work at a gym.
You notice things, right?
- Like, you notice that men.
- That go to the gym...
- Men only work out.
- Their upper body, right?
'Cause they're dumb.
- They're like,
- "Well, I wanna get buff."
Like, "That's cool, bro",
but leg day, all right?"
- Got all these men walking.
- Around.
- Bodies shaped like.
- The letter T,
Like, you look dumb.
- You belong on "Sesame Street,"
- that's where you belong.
That's...
- "Today's word is.
- 'testosterone.'"
"Here I go."
Yeah, that's where you belong.
Women do the exact opposite,
'cause women want a big booty,
- but they don't wanna get buff,
- right?
- So, you got all these women.
- Walking around.
Bodies shaped like a T-Rex
thinking they fine.
Like, "Hey..."
No, look like a really
attractive ostrich right now,
that's what you look like.
- Women are so afraid of.
- Getting buff.
They are so afraid, you know?
You got men in the gym
trying so hard to get buff
- and they can't,
- they can't get big.
And women think they just
gonna pick up one dumbbell...
Just one.
Like, "Hey..."
"what this dumbbell do?
- "I just wanna pick it up."
- And see what it does, okay?
"I just wanna pick it up"
and see what it does.
"That's all I wanna do, okay?
"I just wanna...
"See what it does!
Katrina mad!"
Wow.
My God.
My God.
- All right, y'all better laugh.
- At that joke,
It cost me $6.95, man.
My name is Preacher Lawson.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate y'all.
Thank you.
Yes!
Hey.
Preacher Lawson!
- I thought you was gonna come.
- With your shirt off.
Mel B.
Why are you
coming to me first?
Um, you know that
I'm a fan of yours.
You are just funny.
Justno matter what you say,
how you say it,
you could be saying anything,
and I'd be laughing
and screaming with happiness
and joy andoh...
go to the next person.
I'm going to the next person.
- You can keep talking.
- I don't mind, I don't mind.
Simon, what do you think?
I felt tonight
I wasn't looking
at a competition.
I felt, genuinely,
I was just watching a star.
It's as simple as that.
- No, really.
- I really mean that, Preacher.
Thank you.
- Everything about you.
- Has got better,
And that's what...
And his body got better.
- And you...
- What you talking 'bout?
And you are fit.
Look at these muscles.
- Thank you.
- And you were brilliant.
Thank you.
Howie.
You give us everything.
- You know, there are funny.
- Physical comedians,
- There are funny.
- Verbal comedians,
There's great storytellers;
You are all those in one.
And that's why we love you.
And I think the people that
represent each of the 50 states
are talking about you
right now.
And I'm so proud that
a comedian
has made it this far.
- Yes.
- I love you, buddy.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
Preacher, now was it worth
ripping off your clothes?
It was worthyes!
Yes.
- Even if they didn't laugh,
- I wanted to rip off my clothes.
All right?
- I just wanted to show.
- I did my homework,
That's all I did, yeah.
- II appreciate it.
- I know the feeling.
- I know the feeling.
- I know you do.
- Good luck tonight, Preacher.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Please make some noise for
shirtless Preacher Lawson.
Here's one of the judges'
wildcards.
She really doesn't need me
to say anything apart from
she won AGT in 2017.
It's Darci Lynne.
The first round of "AGT".
"The Champions" was crazy.
All of the butterflies from
the very first audition
just came back, like,
ten times worse.
The reaction from the crowd
was out of this world.
- I think you deserve to be.
- The world champion.
Definitely wanted to
feel that feeling forever.
Leaving the competition is...
Darci Lynne.
The chance of winning that
title was gone.
Then I got the call to be
a wildcard.
I am grateful to have
another chance
to win this competition,
but it's also, like,
terrifying.
How am I gonna come back
and blow the roof off
the place?
I would definitely consider
Petunia my lucky charm.
She helped me get
the Golden Buzzer,
she helped me win season 12...
Darci Lynne!
And she is a diva,
and she likes to win.
But there's only one winner.
I'm not gonna let it go.
My carrots.
My carrots.
My carrots.
What?
Look at all these people.
Hello to you up there...
Can ya hear me?
That's amazing.
Petunia, what are
you gonna sing today?
Well, I want to sing
Italian opera.
That was amazing.
That was amazing.
Darci Lynne!
Simon.
Wow, wow, wow, Darci.
I actually believe this,
for so many reasons,
is your best ever performance
you've ever given.
Thank you.
It's hard enough at
your age to sing opera,
but you're doing it
through a rabbit.
I think you may win tonight.
Wow.
Mel B, do you agree?
My gosh,
of course I agree.
I mean, just your delivery
and your confidence,
'cause you are self-taught,
and you've worked so hard
to get this far.
You deserve everything
and much, much more.
Howie, what do you think
about this performance?
It was truly amazing because
we didn't know you sing opera.
You've gone through a whole
season of AGT
and you still surprise.
I think he's right, I think
you got a shot at this tonight.
Best of luck, young lady.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, good luck tonight,
Darci.
Everybody show some love
for Darci Lynne.
Give yourselves a nice
round of applause, everyone.
More than any other show
I've done before,
this is the one I'm most
curious to see who's gonna win.
Yeah.
- We should put a bet in,
- amongst us.
Well, when it comes to bets,
you know that I always win.
Okay, here we go again,
here we go.
We've got Heidi
and the Golden Buzzer
to thank for this act.
Yes!
- This couple does some of.
- The most dangerous.
And terrifying things
ever seen on AGT.
Here's Deadly Games.
On "America's Got Talent,"
we were so close to get
to the finals,
and I think we just left
too soon.
Deadly Games.
We knew we could
have done better.
We had to come back even more
dangerous than before.
When we got
the Golden Buzzer from Heidi,
it was something
really special for us.
I let all the emotions go.
I just start crying.
I was happy.
I felt like we have a chance.
"Champions."
It felt so good to shock
the first time.
And we're gonna shock
the judges even more
for the finale.
This is the most dangerous
and stressful routine
I ever performed in my life.
When it's go time, I try to
block everything else
from the picture.
I'm looking in his eyes,
he look at me,
and we have this trust
to each other.
It is a natural reaction
of any human beings
to flinch, to run, to move.
And she had to train her mind
not to do that.
We want to be the champions,
and we are willing to do
whatever it takes to get it.
Whoa!
Whoa!
One shot.
Whoa.
That was close!
He's a little off tonight.
Yes.
Don't say that.
- He is.
- He is.
No.
No.
Whoa!
No.
Yes.
That was unreal.
Yes!
Wait.
Wait?
Wait.
We are not done yet.
Judges, please, bring those
balloons with you
and join me on the stage.
- I'm scared.
- It's okay.
Anna will show your place.
You're gonna hold balloon.
Okay, you have to hold...
Each of the judges will be
hold a line of balloons.
And I will shoot all
the balloons
with my crossbow.
No.
Keep yours still.
I'll hide behind you.
Judges, are you ready?
- No.
- No.
- This does not look even.
- Actually not.
- This doesn't look even.
- At all.
Please don't move.
- Don't move.
- Silence please.
Yours is tilting down.
My God.
Hey, you didn't thought I was
about to do that, right?
We can't do that...
not without Terry.
Come on, join us, my friend.
Come on.
I thought I was out of it.
Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry...
All right, now,
do not move, please.
Stay on your positions.
I wanna go home.
Let's get serious.
This needs to be the most
precise shot of my career.
Yes, please.
Here we go.
My God.
Yeah!
Whoo!
That was amazing.
Please put your hands
together
for the most brave judges
in the planet.
My God.
You're crazy.
Hey, give it up for.
Deadly Games.
Thank you. Thank you.
My God, Heidi.
I mean, can we talk about
my sweaty armpits right now?
I mean, that was so scary.
But now I feel like, you know,
we got a little closer,
- and we experienced this.
- Together,
And I kinda loved it.
Boom.
I did get a bit worried,
because during your act,
- there was one.
- Or two things that
I know didn't go as planned.
Then when you asked us
to go onstage,
- I was like,
- "Hold on a minute."
"What's gonna happen here?"
But I actually think
that worked in your favor,
'cause the stakes were raised
even higher and you carried on.
Thank you.
Howie.
I'm just happy to be alive.
Yeah.
Woo-hoo, we're alive!
We survived it.
Well done.
Simon.
You got through tonight
as a champion,
genuinely, because I think
under the danger act category,
this is the best, I think,
in the world.
Yes.
Really. I really mean that.
Give it up for Deadly Games.
You did feel that wind go by?
God.
It was so scary.
I went like, shh-shump.
- I actually thought.
- If he missed,
- I wasn't as nervous as.
- You guys, 'cause I...
Why not?
- 'Cause one of you would have.
- Died first.
If the arrow went into
one of you, I'm cool.
You were my protection.
Now moving right along,
here's our next finalist.
It takes a lot of guts
to get up and perform on AGT.
But when it comes to bravery,
this singer is in a class
of her own.
She's Simon's Golden Buzzer,
it's Kechi.
Aww.
Life can totally change in,
like, a second.
And if you're lucky,
it can change for the better.
- It's been about a year and half.
- Since I was on.
- "America's Got Talent"
- season 12.
And stepping out on that stage
after so long,
I was super nervous.
To get the Golden Buzzer
from Simon
is honestly the most
validating thing
that has happened to me
since I've been on the show.
I started to actually believe
that I have a good voice.
It makes me feel like
I can do anything.
Everyone is beginning to see
what I've always seen in Kechi,
just how special...
How special she is.
When you're faced
with a difficult obstacle,
the only way out is to take
that first step.
And I feel like that's what
being a champion is,
making that conscious decision
to not stay in darkness.
Every time I overcome
an obstacle,
I feel that much stronger.
And now to have the chance
to win this...
my God, that would be...
That would be so incredible.
Kechi!
Simon, how you feeling
about this?
Kechi, there's always
one word that comes back to me
to describe you...
and that is "inspiration."
You are one of my favorite
contestants.
"The Champions" final would not
have been complete without you,
that's all I can say.
You are a treasured star.
I love you.
Howie.
You know what?
You just make my heart burst.
And I love looking at
your mom's face
while you're on stage
and watch her heart burst.
And I think you do that
to all of America.
You are a champion inside
and out, young lady.
Mel B.
Well, I do think
you have become
one of America's
favorite acts.
And we've witnessed
your voice mature into
a beautiful-sounding voice.
Having said that,
- you're probably not gonna.
- Like me, but I think...
Don't go there.
- This song for me...
- Don't go there.
We lost you a little bit.
I feel like we did lose you
a little bit.
Sorry, I don't think
you're booing loud enough.
I'm just saying it
from my opinion.
That's all.
Kechi...
what do you feel
about what Mel B said?
I always appreciate
honest feedback,
- regardless of what it's like.
- Or how it sounds.
I think that that's
the best way
to grow as an artist,
so thank you.
Well, good luck tonight.
People, let's hear it
one more time for Kechi.
This guys just dominates
the stage.
He's a powerhouse singer
who takes the roof off
every time he performs.
It's Brian Justin Crum.
When I was a kid
school was hard for me.
I never really had a place
that I belonged.
Because Brian was picked on
by other kids,
it broke his heart, really.
He just had a big struggle.
He found his life in music,
he really did.
My mom put me into
the musical theater program
after school.
Being onstage was
the first time that
I ever felt like I was
celebrated,
and it made me different
in a good way.
Music became my escape.
He just had a dream.
When he was 13, he told me
he was gonna sing on Broadway.
I was like, "Okay, Brian."
As I've been trying to chase
this dream of mine,
"America's Got Talent"
has really been
the beginning of me
finding my confidence.
So, coming back for.
"Champions,"
- I really wanted to go back.
- To my roots.
And sing something that
was theatrical.
Brian Justin Crum!
The fact that I was
voted through to this finale,
it means so much
and I'm grateful.
And I definitely feel like
I have some
unfinished business here.
I think, this time around,
singing these songs
is gonna be my chance to win.
Whoa.
Brian Justin Crum!
That was amazing.
Wow.
Mel B.
That was massive.
You know what I like about you,
is you take us somewhere.
And you start off small,
then you get big.
That is how you do a proper
slam dunk, in my opinion.
Simon, what do you think
about this performance?
You've come back and proved
a point to us
that you are a champion.
I believe this performance
may change your life.
Um, and thank you for
coming back.
That was a magic moment.
Thank you.
Brian, what do you think
about what the judges
had to say about your
performance tonight?
- I justl respect you all.
- So much.
- And this has been such a long.
- Journey for me,
From the time I first stepped
onto this exact stage to now.
And I thank you all so much
for this opportunity,
- and I'm so grateful.
- To all of you.
And... I justlmy heart is
very full right now.
- Well, good luck tonight,
- Brian.
Everybody, let's hear it
one more time
for Brian Justin Crum!
The judges put this act
through as a wildcard,
and it's easy to see why.
Not only was he a superstar
NFL long snapper,
he's now
a world-class magician.
It's Jon Dorenbos.
It's funny how the magic
of life plays itself out.
So many things in my life
have been
because of a second chance.
I was really proud
- of my first performance on.
- "Champions."
Leaving the competition
is...
Jon Dorenbos.
- Playing in the NFL,
- I was taught that.
- When you lose,
- you figure it out.
- What could I have done.
- Differently that.
- Would have got me that.
- Extra vote that.
- Maybe would have.
- Sent me through.
And then all of a sudden,
I got the call
that I'm a wildcard.
- He's been through so much.
- In his life,
From losing his parents
at such a young age
to losing his dream of being
- a professional football.
- Player,
Because he almost died
of a heart aneurysm.
Jon is such a fighter.
It makes me so proud to be
his wife
and to stand next to him.
I've been a wildcard
my whole life.
I believe that everything
happens for a reason,
and I believe that
there's magic everywhere.
- And now to have.
- A second chance here,
I know that I'm in
the right spot and that
I'm doing what I'm meant
to be doing.
I'm here to win it.
Yeah, baby.
Thank you.
Man.
What's going on, baby?
Man.
It is good to be here.
I'm the wildcard, baby,
it's time to have some fun.
I'mma tell ya.
- All right, here's the deal,
- I got four chalkboards.
They're numbered one, two,
three, and four.
Now, Simon, Heidi, Mel, Howie,
you guys are gonna choose
- which chalkboard is gonna.
- Represent you guys.
- So, hey, you don't know.
- What's behind there.
I've drawn something
- and I've written some stuff.
- On each one.
- We're gonna get to it.
- In a little bit.
So, Simon, you want...
Obviously, number one.
All right, number one it is.
Simon, number one.
Heidi, guess what.
Same thing, do you want
two, three, or four?
- Yeah, I would like to be.
- The number two then.
Number two it is.
- You guys are making this.
- Easy on me.
Mel B, three or four?
I will go for
the number three.
Three it is.
Mel B...
I know what I wanna be.
Howie, my man, number four.
- Now, you guys had.
- A free choice.
- This is what I love about.
- This show.
This show changed my life.
- Howie, you've toured.
- The country, man.
You've toured the world.
- You've sold out venues.
- All over the place.
- Right.
- And I wanna be just like you.
So, I actually got cities
off of your tour schedule.
- So, here's a bunch of.
- Cities and states.
- Of places that you've performed.
- That I wanna perform one day.
Okay.
- So, we're gonna pick one.
- Right now.
When I riffle, say stop.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
- Say stop.
- Stop riffling.
- You wanna keep going.
- Or do you want that...
- No, I wanna stop.
- Are you sure?
- I really need to stop.
- Okay.
- There you go.
- Don't look at it.
Okay.
- Slide it out,
- keep it right there.
All right.
- I started AGT doing.
- A card trick.
So, Mel B, we're gonna do
just that.
I'm gonna do a card trick.
- I'm gonna make it.
- Really simple on ya.
- All you're gonna do is as.
- I riffle through here,
All you gotta do is say stop.
Are you ready?
So, just say stop.
- Stop.
- Right here?
Watch carefully.
I'm gonna rip a corner.
Like so.
Queen of hearts.
Hold on the queen, Mel.
Heidi, let me see your hand.
It's when you take the corner
that that corner disappears,
just like that.
Gone.
- Now, there's.
- A stack of pictures.
- That have been.
- Sitting right here.
- I haven't touched them.
- I haven't come close to them.
- Why don't we pick up those.
- Pictures and see if there's.
Something underneath.
- Pick up everything?
- Pick 'em all up.
You're gonna find one thing.
There's a corner to a card
right there.
Now, hold on.
Mel B, take that corner,
- make sure it fits perfect,
- right there.
- I don't wanna touch it.
- I can't get it.
- Get it, get it.
- She's got nails.
Howie to the rescue.
Yeah, there we go.
- Make sure it fits perfect,
- right there.
Yes, it does.
- And that is, in fact,
- the corner.
Now, Heidi...
I love this.
- Heidi, your whole career.
- You've done outrageous...
What is this?
Well, I'm a witch, obviously.
- At Halloween,
- you go over the top.
- But these are pictures of you.
- Whether it's Halloween,
- Whether it's red carpets,
- it's just all the cool events.
- That you've been able to go to.
- Yeah?
- And guess what, you're gonna.
- Do, the same thing Howie did.
All you're gonna do
as I riffle is just say stop.
- Should I slide my hand in it?
- Whatever you want.
- All righty.
- I'm ready when you are.
Riffle it.
- Shh...
- Whoop.
- Okay, don't look at it.
- I'm not looking.
Slide it over just like this.
- Simon, I've got.
- A deck of cards here.
All you gotta do is
just touch one.
Just touch it.
Now, lookhold on.
- I'm gonna give you.
- The opportunity.
Do you wanna keep this one,
- or do you wanna change.
- Your mind?
- I'll keep it.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- Remember this moment.
- I'm giving you a chance.
- To change your mind.
- No, I'm gonna keep it.
- Here it is.
Take it and look at it
if you want.
Howie, what did you pick?
What this is?
- Turn it over.
- Show everybody what it is.
You and I are going somewhere,
buddy, and where is it?
- Tulsa, Oklahoma.
- There it is.
Hey, let me see it.
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The judges had a free choice
- of whatever chalkboard.
- They wanted.
Hey, Terry, can you do me
a favor?
There's a chalkboard
with Howie's face on there.
- Why don't you go and turn that.
- Chalkboard around for me, man,
'Cause I drew something
on that chalkboard.
- Howie, you and I are going to.
- Tulsa, Oklahoma.
- How?
- Mel B...
You could have selected
any card you wanted to.
You chose the queen of hearts.
- Terry, spin that thing around.
- For me.
- I had a premonition that.
- Not only would she gonna choose.
- That chalkboard,
- but you were gonna pick.
The queen of hearts.
That's crazy.
- Heidi...
- How is that possible?
- You've done a lot of.
- Cool things in your career.
What did you do today
with that picture?
I was a schmetterling
for Halloween.
- What is that?
- I was a butterfly.
- That's athat's a butterfly?
- Yeah.
That's amazing.
You chose number two.
Terry, do me a favor,
turn over number two.
I made a prediction and drew
a picture before the show
- that you were gonna be.
- A butterfly.
- Yes!
- Wow.
- Hold on.
- We got one left.
We got one left.
Simon, I told youthere was
a defining moment
- when you could have.
- Changed your mind,
- And you said, "No."
- Yeah.
- You picked a card.
- I did.
What do you got?
Three of clubs.
You had the first choice.
- You could have chosen any.
- Chalkboard you wanted,
One, two, three, or four.
My man went with number one.
- I wrote a card down on.
- The back of that chalkboard.
Terry, let me see it, my man.
- All right.
- Turn that around.
- That there is.
- The three of clubs.
Thank you, thank you.
But hold on.
That's crazy.
Howie, in the quarter finals
of "America's Got Talent,"
I had a huge map on that stage.
Roll that clip.
No.
- Just like that,
- in Season 11,
You chose Oklahoma,
just like you did today.
How's that possible?
Mel B...
- You chose any card.
- You wanted to,
And you chose a heart.
- Heart's follow you everywhere.
- You go,
Because in the first round of.
- "America's Got Talent
- The Champions,"
- I asked the audience to write.
- Words of what.
Described a champion.
- You could have chosen any words.
- You wanted to.
You selected whatever words
you wanted, and lo and behold,
Heart.
Predicted back then
and there's your heart.
Now, Heidi...
My God.
I believe it was
the semifinal, season 11.
- I sat up here.
- And I had all you guys think of.
- Whatever you wanted,
- and you could draw.
Whatever you want.
And in season 11, I made
a prediction that today
you'd go back to that Halloween
party as a butterfly.
- Right there.
- You drew a butterfly.
- No.
- Woah.
Now, hold on.
The moment it comes down to.
I wanted to end my journey
the same way I started,
because in season 11,
when he just thought of
any card he wanted to,
my man Simon
- picked the three of clubs,
- right there,
- Just like he picked today.
- No.
And I ended.
The same way I started...
with Simon Cowell holding
the three of clubs.
My name's Jon Dorenbos, baby.
It's a great day to be alive.
Peace out.
I love every single one of you.
Thank you, guys.
My man.
Jon Dorenbos!
Wow.
Come up here, man.
Wow.
Heidi, your thoughts.
Yes!
I mean,
you are multi-talented.
You really, really are.
- I mean, you speak.
- From the heart,
And you boost our spirit.
- Every time when.
- You come onto the stage,
You're so entertaining,
and so good.
Simon.
You've come back and just
blown the roof off
with what I've just seen.
- I mean, genuinely, I'm not just.
- Saying that, Jon.
We're not voting,
the 50 states are voting,
you have a shot.
- Thank you.
- And that was amazing.
Thank you.
I mean, purely fantastic.
Awesome, man.
Howie, your thoughts.
My gosh,
I'm, like, just stunned.
I really am.
- There are only two words.
- To describe.
What you did tonight.
Wild card.
My gosh, I'll take it, baby.
You are a champ.
Now, Jon,
being a wildcard tonight,
how do you feel
about coming back?
Let me tell you.
- I'm gonna share something with.
- You guys for the first time,
'Cause my wife and I haven't
told anybody.
Before this show,
a few days ago magic happened.
- We got a bun in the oven.
- And this guy right here.
Is about to be a dad.
Yeah.
And my wife's out there.
Baby, I love you.
And a little Dorenbos is
gonna be running around here,
so take cover.
Well, good luck tonight, Jon.
Thank you.
Please give it up for
Jon Dorenbos.
This singer has got more
heart and soul than
just about anybody on
the planet, and she's only 11.
She's Howie's Golden Buzzer.
It's Angelica Hale.
You know, when I first
walked out on my AGT stage,
I had a dream to be performing
for my whole entire life.
Who do you wanna be like?
I wanna be the next
Whitney Houston.
Wow.
- I have a feeling.
- We may be looking.
At a star in the future.
- It's not just.
- A dream anymore,
I'm living my dream.
- Let's get a take here,
- are you ready for it?
Yeah.
- It's crazy to think about.
- Just seven years ago,
You know, we almost lost her.
She was fighting for her life
in the hospital.
And now here she is,
11 years old
and, you know, sky's the limit.
And now, I'm in the finals of.
"America's Got Talent
The Champions."
I'm a little more nervous
than before,
- because it all comes down.
- To this.
Like, I'm competing against
Susan Boyle and Paul Potts.
But honestly,
I believe in myself.
I thought it was impossible
to get out of the hospital,
to be where I am today.
Well, look where I am,
- and I'm not gonna stop.
- Fighting.
And I'm gonna do as much
as I can to win.
"The Champions."
Thank you.
Angelica Hale!
Whoo!
Howie, Angelica.
My gosh.
Angelica, you're living up
to your name of being an angel.
The song lives up to
its name, you know?
"Impossible."
You're only 11 years old.
I don't know...
How the 50 states can choose
a winner.
You're wonderful.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I have to say that was such
an obvious improvement
since we last saw you.
- And I could see how committed.
- You were.
- And then how relieved you were.
- At the end.
That you got everything right.
It was absolutely brilliant.
- Thank you.
- Well done.
Simon.
I've said this to you
and a lot of other people
who've come back
and compete again.
To me, you deserve so much
respect just for doing that,
because it showed me how much
you really, really wanted this.
Well done.
Thank you, thank you.
All right, well, good luck
tonight, Angelica.
Thank you.
Best of luck to
Angelica Hale.
She wants that title.
She wants that title.
- She wants that title.
- Exactly.
She's a fighter.
I put this act into
the finals
with the Golden Buzzer.
When I saw her perform,
it was a no-brainer.
She creates beautiful art
with sand.
Here's Kseniya Simonova.
Before my last performance,
I was pretty nervous.
It had been nine years since
I first stepped on
the "Ukraine's Got Talent"
stage.
But when I stepped to my
sand table,
I felt like I'm at home.
- Although I don't see.
- The audience,
I only see my table, I felt
they're together with me.
They're feeling the story,
which I'm showing.
And then Terry in his beautiful
red costume was running...
I have never been
more impressed
by the ability to move people
the way you did today.
I never expected that
I will see Golden Buzzer
in real life, like,
standing on the stage
and this golden rain
fall on me.
I felt like my heart,
which stopped beating,
started beating again.
Tonight, through sand,
I'm going to show the world
- love can save the life.
- Of a person.
It's a story which is
about war.
But it's also the story
of a family, of love,
of life and death.
I have to represent
my country.
So, tonight I'm ready to do
what I have to do to win.
Hostilities exist.
There is no blinking at
the fact
that our people,
our territory,
and our interests are in
grave danger.
With confidence in
our armed forces,
with the unbounding
determination...
Look how fast she goes.
She's likeshh.
"Life always wins."
"Love..."
Wow.
Kseniya Simonova!
Thank you.
Mel B.
You know,
I think I'm discovering
everyone's really giving it
more than their all.
I mean, what you crammed into
such a short amount of time
was a proper, full-on...
Not just story,
it was a whole series of books.
It's like you left everything
right there on the sand.
And I really do hope
the superfans vote
for you tonight.
Well done.
Heidi.
I mean, you really are
a true artist.
And it's so amazing to sit here
and watch you do this live
in front of our very eyes,
'cause you're so in it.
- You know, I can see it,
- how you got mad.
When the war started
and you're all likewah.
I mean, it was really, truly
amazing to watch this.
I loved it.
Really good.
Thank you.
Simon.
I never thought I would be
saying on a show
I understand the power of sand.
But this was one of the most
beautiful, creative things
I have ever seen on this show.
Genuinely.
Please give it up
one more time
for Kseniya Simonova.
Here's a champion from.
"Britain's Got Talent"
and one of the biggest success
stories in the history of.
"Got Talent" worldwide.
He's opera singer, Paul Potts.
- Woah.
- Woah.
Singing's who I am.
And I have very high
expectations of myself,
- 'cause I don't wanna fail.
- Myself.
I want to be constantly
improving.
Paul Potts!
- I think the first thing.
- I felt when.
- The result came through.
- Was relief.
Not to made it through
to the final,
I would have been really
disappointed in myself.
Somebody that's been with me
through thick and thin
is my wife, Jules.
She's always wanted me
to continue doing what I love,
- even when we couldn't afford.
- For me to do it.
Before "Britain's Got Talent,"
- we were struggling.
- Financially then.
Things were tough.
Paul, at times,
was working two jobs.
I was working my job, doing
as much overtime as possible.
You know, we were just trying
to make it, day by day.
But I always believed, um,
in his opera.
I think Jules had
a little more belief in me
than I had in myself.
So I'm really excited that
she's joining me here.
In a way, that makes things
come full circle,
because she was there
in the audience when
I won "Britain's Got Talent."
I can't not give everything.
I cannot walk away from
that stage
still having something left
to give.
I'm really happy to have gotten
through to the final.
And so now, I have to step up
to the plate as a winner.
Wow.
Whoo!
Yes.
Wow.
Whoa.
Thank you.
Paul Potts.
Wow.
Howie, what do you think
about this performance?
II loved it.
I mean, I'm not an opera fan.
I am a Paul Potts fan.
I love what you do.
You couldn't have done any more
to make it any better.
It was perfection.
Mel B.
I mean, you stand there
and you deliver
such a stellar, killer
performance.
And then you just go,
"Yeah, that's what I did.
Nailed it."
Like it's just nothing.
I feel so honored and so lucky
to be sitting
in the best seat in the house.
I can't praise you anymore,
that's it.
It's amazing, you're amazing.
Simon, were you moved
tonight?
More than moved.
The underdog, who was written
off by the music business,
won the first season of.
"Britain's Got Talent,"
- and you got the career.
- You wanted.
That is why you are on
the final of "Champions,"
because you are a champion.
I have a feeling
you have a really good chance
of winning tonight after that.
It was brilliant.
Now, Paul, I understand
you have someone very special
you'd like to dedicate
your performance to tonight.
Aww.
- There is.
- An "America's Got Talent".
Winner that isn't here
tonight...
- Neal E. Boyd.
- Yep.
Like me, he came on
as an underdog,
he gave his all, he won.
And one thing you can never
take away is the fact that
he is a champion.
- Hear, hear.
- He is a winner.
Let's hear it one more time
for Paul Potts.
Yeah.
America loves a magician.
And they don't come any better
than the winner of AGT 2018.
Now he's hoping to be the best
in the world.
He's Shin Lim.
I had so many doubts about
auditioning for.
"America's Got Talent."
But my fiancée, Casey,
she believed in me,
and she pushed me to go
for it.
When she tells me that
she thinks that I'm the best
magician in the world,
she really believes it.
Especially when I don't,
'cause I definitely don't.
Shin Lim!
Ever since I won,
it's just been nonstop.
- You're amazing.
- This is incredible.
I have been much busier
than I was before.
What is going on?
Shin Lim, everybody.
It's all because of her.
- None of that would have.
- Happened.
- I wouldn't even be here at.
- "Champions."
I may have won.
"America's Got Talent,"
but this is a whole nother
ball game.
When else am I gonna be able to
test myself alongside
the best in the world?
- I can't help but think.
- In my head,
What can I do to take magic
to the next level?
And see how far magic can
actually take me.
I think with Casey by my side,
I could win this whole thing.
- Howie.
- Yes.
Just take one of these cards.
- Show it to the camera.
- To the camera?
There.
I'll have the card.
Give it.
Can you open the marker?
Yes.
- Write your name.
- Right over there.
Okay.
- Howie.
- Yeah.
Stand up.
Stand up.
Yeah, can I have the pen?
- How is that possible?
- I'll have the pen?
You can sit back down.
Thank you.
That's your card.
No.
- Howie, that's your name,
- right?
Yes.
Pick one of these cards.
Show it to the camera.
I'll have the card.
Can you open up the marker?
Write your name
right over here.
Very good, show the camera.
Wow.
What the...
Man.
Everybody, Shin Lim.
It's even better up close.
I'm so sad that
I didn't get to go.
My God.
Man, I wish I knew how
you did that.
Where did the cards go?
Where did the cardsokay.
Well, a lot of people do
ask that, Terry.
Um, Howie, can you try
opening your cup?
Just open it up.
No.
Are youno.
No.
Is that your card, Terry?
It looks like...
That's my card
and Howie's card.
Stop it.
No.
Unreal.
Howie, listen, we were there.
- What do you think of that?
- I've...
I had so much to say,
but now I realize I'm holding
cards that were in your mouth.
Why would you do that?
I have a very clean - mouth.
- There we go,
- a little sanitizer.
Heidi, were you impressed?
Of course I was impressed.
I mean, Shin,
you did it yet again.
You know, another...
jaw-dropping performance.
Thank you, Heidi.
Simon, the Great Shin Lim.
I don't think many people
having won the show
would have had the guts
to come back again this year
and do what you've done.
And for that,
you have my utmost respect.
Thank you so much, Simon.
It is the best of the best,
and still within that context,
you were amazing.
Literally amazing.
Well, good luck tonight,
Shin.
One more time for
the Great Shin Lim.
When you think of.
"Got Talent" stars,
one just leaps out.
After her very first audition
on "Britain's Got Talent,"
she became a household name
around the world.
She's in the finals thanks to
Mel B's Golden Buzzer.
Here's Susan Boyle.
Yeah.
Ever since I was a tiny tot,
I've always loved to sing.
As a little girl,
I felt very nervous.
I felt very under-confident.
- Music, it helps you.
- Through it,
Gives you strength.
My mother was very supportive
of my singing.
She had encouraged me singing
in the church choir.
She died in 2007.
My mother wanted me
to chase my dream.
What's your name, darling?
I made a promise to her
that I would do it.
Susan Boyle.
Without my mother, I wouldn't
be the singer I am today.
I'm still following the dream.
I wanted to compete at.
"The Champions,"
because it was a challenge
and I love a challenge.
Susan Boyle!
- This is my golden.
- Opportunity.
To have that promise
fulfilled.
When Mel B gave me that.
Golden Buzzer,
I was pleased,
but was very shocked, as well.
It's hard to put
into words, really.
Everybody has dreams,
and you have to
follow those dreams.
I feel I've been given
the chance to follow mine.
Now I would love to win.
This is the song.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Susan Boyle.
Woo-hoo!
Mel B.
You're so classy and elegant
and effortless.
I mean, if I had
another Golden Buzzer
- I'd press it again and again.
- And again for you.
You're just brilliant,
absolutely brilliant, Susan.
Howie, how 'bout you?
You know, the word 'champion'
isn't even enough
to describe who and how
you perform.
You are more than a champion.
- So, good luck to our superfans.
- Yeah.
They have
a really tough decision.
Heidi, do you agree?
Yes, I mean, Susan Boyle is
in the building, everybody.
Yes!
You singing that song
is everything.
I mean, it gives me
goose pimples,
and I just loved it.
- I love you.
- Goosebumps.
Yeah, it was amazing.
It was absolutely amazing.
Thank you.
Do you have goose pimples
or bumps, Simon?
I have goosebumps on
my goosebumps.
My God, Susan,
that really, really took
me back all those years.
I can remember vividly
how disgusting I was
on the day before you sang
and then what you did
and what happened afterwards.
And to end the show,
it's been an amazing night.
I mean, seriously,
it was fantastic.
You're a champion.
Yes.
Susan, could you
please tell us
what it's like to back on
the "Got Talent" stage.
I enjoyed every second,
and I thoroughly enjoyed
being in America.
Thank you all so much.
Please give it up for
the great Susan Boyle.
That was amazing.
Yeah.
- That brought back so many.
- Good memories.
What a great closer
for the evening.
We started with 12 finalists.
They've gone above and beyond
everything they've
ever done before.
And now the pressure moves to
our panel of superfans
from the 50 states,
because they are gonna
pick the winner.
The vote is on.
One act will be crowned.
"America's Got Talent
The Champions,"
best in the world.
We'll get that big result
in our season finale next week.
From the finalists, the judges,
and from me, Terry Crews,
good night, America.
