[Donna Summer's "Last Dance"]

- * Ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh *

* *

* Last dance *

* Last chance tonight *

* *

[cheers and applause]

* Let's dance *

* The last dance *

- You just turned
the dial to 11.

- * The last dance *

- I would say
the best we've ever had.

- * This last dance tonight *

- You're being naughty.

[laughter]

- You touched the heart
of every human being

in this building.

- This is just the start
for you.

- * I need you *

- That was a big surprise.

- * Beside me to guide me *

* To hold me *

- I just think you're a star.

- * To scold me *

- I am absolutely gobsmacked.

- Genius,
absolute genius.

- A very, very hard decision
you guys have to make tonight.

- Almost half
of the acts are going.

- * Let's dance *
- That's a yes.

I'm telling you, yes!

- That's a yes!

- * Let's dance *

- How are we gonna do this?
- I have no idea.

- * Tonight *

[cheers and applause]

* Come on, baby *

* Dance that dance *

- Give it up
for your "AGT" judges!

[cheers and applause]

* Come on, baby *

- This is the final day
of auditions.

Whatever they said
you should do,

shouldn't do, ignore.

Be as badly behaved
as you want, and have fun.

Thank you for coming.

* *

- Oh, my God,
I can't believe I'm here.

[soft music]

- [trilling]

- Okay, here we go.
- [vocalizing]

* *

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, welcome
to "America's Got Talent."

What's your name?

- Emily Bland.

- And where
are you from, Emily?

- Northeast Arkansas.

- And how old are you?

- I'm 29.

- What do you do for a living?

- I work at a hotel.
I was front desk clerk.

- Could you tell us who is the
worst guest you've ever had?

- Okay, I don't want
to throw my mom under the bus,

but, like...
[laughter]

Her name is Karen.

- Oh, my goodness.
Say no more.

- [laughs]
- You're funny.

Are you gonna do comedy
for us tonight?

- I'm actually gonna sing.
- Oh, you're a singer?

'Cause you're actually
very funny.

- I thought you were
a comedian.

- I thought she was
gonna be a comedian.

- Yes.

Who do you--when you think
of singing styles,

like, who do you look up to?

- Garth Brooks.

110%, Garth Brooks.

- I love Garth Brooks.

- Do you think that you have
the talent to win this?

- I sure hope so.
I'm here.

- Yeah!
- I got here.

[cheers and applause]

- Well, I cannot wait
to hear you sing.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

* Baby, lock that door
and turn the lights down low *

* Play some music
that is soft and slow *

- Is that her?

- * Baby, we ain't got
no place to go *

* I hope you understand *

* I've been thinking 'bout this
all day long *

* Never felt a feeling
quite this strong *

* I can't believe
how much it turns me on *

* Just to be your man *

[cheers and applause]

- Wait a second.
- Is that it?

- How do you think that went?

- I think it went really well.

[laughter]

- No, that's not you!

- Before you all go
to judging,

there's one thing
I must tell y'all.

[intro to Shania Twain's "Man!
I Feel Like A Woman" plays]

- [laughs]

- So how are you guys doing?

* *

- Confused.

- I understand that completely.

Don't be confused, though.

- Was that you singing?

- That was me singing.

- So you're a ventriloquist

and your wife is your puppet?

- Yes, yes, let me just
show you real quick.

- No, don't put your hand in.

[laughter]
- I'm slightly disappointed,

'cause I thought
that was her singing.

[laughter]

- Sofía, what did you think?

- I don't know what to say.

I don't even know
how to judge this thing.

[laughter]

* *

- Believe it or not
that my wife can do this

to any one of y'all.

- Do it to Simon.

- You are so much
better-looking in real life.

- Whoa! Whoa!
That's crazy!

- How about me?
Do me.

- Okay.
- Go ahead.

- I am very confused right now.

[cheers and applause]

- Heidi.

- [speaking German]

- Oh, my God, that looked good.

- I have no clue
what I just said.

- This is what's amazing.

It's improvisational
lip synching.

She doesn't know
what you're gonna say,

yet you're looking at me
thinking it's me that's talking

when it's actually Howie
over on the side of you,

not the beautiful woman
you're looking at.

- * Color my hair,
do what I dare *

- It's really good.

I don't know for what,
but it's really good.

- Hey, listen,
I'm gonna start this thing.

I'm gonna say yes.

I want to see you again.

* *

Heidi, what do you think?

- I'm gonna say yes too.

Let's see where this
is gonna go.

* *

- Sofía.
- I think

it's an incredible talent

because it's very unique.

So I'm gonna have
to say yes too.

- * Oh, yeah *

* The best thing
about being a woman *

- I'm really, really confused,

but yours is the only opinion
that matters.

[laughter]

So I just want
to hear from you.

- You want to hear me?

- No, you're lip-synching!

[laughter]

* *

- Very first time I'm ever
gonna vote "question mark."

- Well, all you need
is three yeses.

You're moving on!

[cheers and applause]

- * Oh, oh *

- Thank y'all!

* Oh, oh, yeah, yeah *

- How weird are they?

- That's so weird.

- This is
"America's Got Talent."

We'll be right back
after these messages.

- * Feel like a woman *

- Coming up...

- * My name *

- You really have the pipes,
and they sound beautiful.

- Thank you.

- I think you have a chance

to win this competition.

- Oh, no.
- Aah!

- [speaking indistinctly]
- Oh!

- How did that just happen?

- That was amazing.

- And now
the hard part happens.

- More than half the acts
have to be cut.

- Are you kidding?
- No!

No, I'm not kidding.
- It's a yes?

- No.
- No.

[cheers and applause]

- Mentalism is of the mind.

It enables a channel
to connect with an audience

on a much deeper level.

And if we really focus,

this connection
can be powerful.

- All right, here we go, folks.

Okay, here we go.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Welcome.

And what is your name?

- My name's James.

- And what do you do, James?

- So my wife and I
are mentalists.

Yeah, she's actually
getting ready.

She's with Terry at the moment.

- Okay.

How long have you
been together?

- We've been together now
five years,

married just over a year.

- How did this act come about?

- Marina and I, we developed
a connection very quickly on.

In fact, on our third date,
we started

doing this thing where
Marina shows the ability

to connect through my eyes.
- Wow.

- And today
we're gonna be doing

some long-distance
mind reading.

[cheers and applause]

- All right.
Show us your stuff.

- Okay, well, Marina's
actually outside with Terry.

Can we bring her up
on the screen, please?

Hey, how you doing?

- Hey, guys. Hi.

- Connection's okay?

- Yes, we can hear you.

- Great.

Judges, can I
come and join you?

- Yes.
- Please.

[cheers and applause]

- Terry, thank you
for joining me

here outside
to make sure everything

is aboveboard.
- Mm-hmm.

- Sofía, can I borrow
your phone, please?

- To--international phone call?
No.

[dramatic music]

- James, place the phone
facedown onto your palm.

Now gently touch the back.

As you do that,
I will try to sense

the remaining
battery percentage.

[audience oohing]

* *

I'm getting something.

I'm getting 49% battery
at this moment.

- Marina's saying 49%.

Let's have a look.

Can you tell us,
what does that say?

- 49.

- Oh!
- 49%.

- Oh!

- Wow.
- That's amazing.

- Our phones have made
connecting with each other

so much easier, but before
we had this amazing technology,

reaching our loved ones
was not always so easy.

So we often connected
through our memories,

and nothing can form
a stronger connection

than a powerful shared memory.

- Which is why
audience members have been

invited to write down
positive personal memories.

If you have a memory,
hold it up now.

[cheers and applause]

- Great, there's a lot of you.
This is brilliant.

Please start passing
your memories

down to this center aisle
as quickly as you can,

where a member of the crew
will collect them.

* *

And to make sure there is
absolutely no chance of Marina

seeing or hearing anything
that's about to happen,

can we cut the video
and audio feed?

Perfect.

Heidi, you'll be the channel

through which
this connection occurs.

Please reach into the bin
of audience memories

and remove one at random.

* *

Now open the envelope
and take a moment

to read it only to yourself.

* *

[laughter]

* *

You ready?
- Yeah.

- Can you stand up, please,
and hold the memory

in your hands like this?

And actually, can we have
some of the other memories

placed on the desk, please?

Judges, later on,
if you'd like to check

that these are all different,
you're more than welcome.

But for now, let's bring
Marina and Terry's live feed

back online.

Hey, we're back.

- Hey, guys.

- Heidi, please
close your eyes.

Now that you have
a memory in mind,

I want you to imagine
that you're actually there

living the moment.

Notice the surroundings
and all of the small details.

The more vivid you can make
this memory, the better.

Now, just like on a phone,
take a screenshot in your mind

and imagine sending it
straight to Marina.

* *

- Okay.

Okay, I'm hearing something.

I'm hearing something.
It's water.

And it's waves, maybe.

This must be a beach,
and it feels kind of tropical.

Now, you're not alone.

You're with someone
quite tall, and...

I think
this could be your dad.

But what's unusual
is that you're kind of--

you're higher than him.

He's carrying you.

What I'm getting overall

is a very new feeling.

* *

This is your first time

seeing the ocean.

- Heidi, can you tell us,

what is the audience memory
you're thinking of?

- Sitting on my dad's shoulder
and seeing the ocean

for the first time in Hawaii.

[audience gasps]

- * Tell them all I know now *

* Shout it from the rooftops *

- Wow.

- * On the skyline *

* All we had is gone now *

* Tell them I was happy *

- Heidi, show him.
Show him.

- * And my heart is broken *

* All my scars are open *

- And those
are all different?

- They're all different.

- Thank you, judges.

[cheers and applause]
- * Impossible, impossible *

* Impossible, impossible *

- I swear I picked that up.

- I know. I saw.

- All right, all right,
there you go.

- All right, here she comes.

Marina, everyone.

[cheers and applause]
- * Impossible *

* Impossible *

* Impossible *

* *

- Wow!
- Hi.

- Simon, I'll start with you.

- How did that just happen?

- It's all about connection.

- That was unbelievable.
- Thank you.

- I mean, this is amazing.

- Thank you so much.
Thank you.

- Sofía.

- What you guys just did
is fascinating.

It was mysterious.

That was spectacular.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Heidi, you had
a special experience

because you're the one--

- I am absolutely gobsmacked.

I mean, you saw me,
I was like,

"I'm not showing anyone
what's on here."

She could've not known
what I picked.

It's wild.
- It really is.

I loved the presentation.

I loved the fact
that you did it from outside,

which is one more level to it.

I think you have
a great chance.

And I would like
to start the voting off.

Definitely yes.

- Thank you.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

- * I was happy *

* And my heart is broken *

- Heidi?

- I'm gonna give you
a second yes, of course.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Sofía.
- Yes.

- Thank you so much.
Thank you.

- And Simon?

- You've got four yeses.

- Four yeses!
- Thank you so much.

Thank you guys.

[cheers and applause]

- * Impossible *

* Impossible *

- Oh, listen,
absolutely fantastic.

- That was amazing.

- This is incredible.
- Thank you so much.

- Celebrate.
It's beautiful.

Mind to mind.

- * One, two *

* One, two, three *

- Do you have a day job?

- I'm an assistant
city attorney.

- I would've never guessed.

- I'm like the Batman,
you know?

I have two different costumes.

- Do you sing for a living?

- No, I'm a barista.

- I'm a retail manager.

- I do nails on the side.

- What about you?
- I was a chef for 25 years.

- Whoa, so you can cook?

- Oh, yeah.
- My kind of dude.

- During the day,
I would, like, work retail,

and then my alter ego
comes out at night

and I perform around my city.

- Okay, here we go.

- * Got the music in you *

* Don't let go *

[cheers and applause]

- Hi.

- * One dance left *

- Welcome
to "America's Got Talent."

- Hi.

- Tell us who you are.

- Well, my name
is Aubrey Burchell.

I'm a 21-year-old singer
from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

- Do you earn a living
currently singing,

or do you have a different job?

- Your girl works at Target.

- Yes!

[cheers and applause]

I love Target.
- On my breaks,

I scurry off to the bathroom

and I sit on the floor,
I set up my camera,

and I do some singing
to keep myself sane.

- But you really want
to be a singer?

- Oh, yeah, more than anything.

I want to sell out arenas
all around the world.

I want Grammys.

And, you know, most of all,
especially as a recently

diagnosed level-one autistic,

a very large portion
of my life, I struggled

and I want to show
other young autistics

that are, you know,
suffering in silence

that you can follow
your passion

and you can
not fit in the box

and do what you do
and just eat at it.

So...

- Yeah, whoo.

[cheers and applause]

- I'm already crying.

- Thank you for saying that
out loud to everyone,

because you're inspiring
so many people right now

watching you,
and I wish you good luck.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

["Call Out My Name" playing]

* *

* We found each other *

* I helped you
out of a broken place *

* You gave me comfort *

* But falling for you
was my mistake *

* I put you on top,
I put you on top *

* I claimed you
so proud and openly *

* And when times were rough,
when times were rough *

* I made sure
I held you close to me *

* So call out my name *

[cheers and applause]

* Call out my name
when I kiss you so gently *

* I want you to stay *

* I want you to stay
even though you don't want me *

* I'll be on my *

* Said I didn't feel nothing,
baby, but I lied *

- Yes!

- * I almost cut a piece
of myself *

* For your life *

* Guess I was just
another pit stop *

* For you to waste my time *

* It's just wasted time *

* Call out my name *

- Oh!

- * Call out my name
when I kiss you so gently *

* I want you to stay *

* I want you to stay
even though you don't want me *

* Girl, why can't you wait *

* Why can't you wait
till I fall out of love *

* Just call out my name *

[cheers and applause]

- Wow, wow, wow.

[wild cheering]

- Bravo!

- That's how you do it!

That's how you do it.

[soft music]

* *

- Wow.

I mean, you really have

a fantastic, fantastic voice.

You really have the pipes,
and they sound beautiful.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Howie, what do you think?

- Just showing up
is a feat in itself,

and I can tell
you're nervous,

but you're incredibly brave,
and kudos just for being here.

- What did you think, Simon?

- The fact that you made
that song your version

was genius, absolute genius.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you.
- That was a great song.

Incredible.

[Lady Gaga's
"Million Reasons"]

Was every note perfect?

No, it didn't matter
because, you know,

I really do believe

that we're just witnessing

somebody's career about
to skyrocket, potentially.

- * Hundred million reasons
to walk away *

- Thank you.

- * Baby, I just need
one good one to stay *

- Sofía.

- Aubrey, you are
the perfect package.

You look so cool.

Your voice,
the song that you picked,

everything was perfect.

I think we love you already.

I think America is gonna
fall in love with you.

I think you have a chance
to win this competition.

- * It's hard to even fathom
which parts I should believe *

- All right.
Let's vote.

Howie.

- Yes.

- * Give me
a million reasons *

* Givin' me
a million reasons *

- Simon.

- Obviously yes.

- Thank you.
Thank you.

- Sofía.
- Yes!

- And I'm gonna give you
a fourth yes!

- * I bow down to pray *

* I try to make the worst
seem better *

- Special.

- * Show me the way *

* To cut through
all this worn-out leather *

- Thank you.

- * I've got *

- Aw, so good.

- * Reasons to walk away *

- You guys are amazing.

- * But, baby, I just need
one good one *

- That was great.
- That was special.

- That was great.
- Wow.

- Aubrey! Aah!

Give me a hug.

I'm telling you,
you are so awesome, you!

- * To stay *

- I did it!
Yes!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[dramatic music]

[cheers and applause]

* *

- This season,
I think we've had better acts

than any past season.

- It's amazing.

- I think the audience
is wilder.

We're seeing things
that we've never seen before.

- I agree.
I tell you something.

We have a real competition
this year.

* *

- I think there's
a bar set higher

than it's ever been set.

- Yeah, for sure.

- All right, hey, guys,
I'm Terry Crews.

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

Nice to meet you.
- Tiago.

All right.
- And Jack.

- And Jack.
And where are you guys from?

- I'm from the UK.
- I'm from Portugal.

- And what's the name
of your act?

- We are The Lads.

We met at the age
of 12 years old

and realized
through competing

that we were like
two little rebels

that were running around
causing mischief.

- Finally here.
- Let's do this.

Bam.

But now it's blossomed
into a beautiful friendship.

The type of gymnastics that
we do is acrobatic gymnastics.

We try to do things
normally that people

haven't really done before.

- We're passionate
about what we do.

- We are gonna
go on that stage

and we're gonna smash it.

- * It's time to run,
it's time to run *

* Tomorrow is another day *

- I think their tops
are gonna come off.

- Hello.
What are you guys' name?

- I'm Jack.
- I'm Tiago.

- What will you
be doing for us today?

- We'll be performing
an act called hand-to-hand,

and basically I'll be
the guy on the bottom.

He'll be the guy on the top.

He does all the handstands.
- Oh!

- Hey.
- Thanks.

- And why do you like
to be the one on the bottom

and he likes to be
the one on the top?

[laughter]

- Come on, Heidi.

[cheers and applause]

- He's just stronger.
- Ah.

So what is your dream?

- I think the dream would be
to do resident show in Vegas,

'cause that's super important
for us,

and this is kind of like

the golden ticket
to get that, really.

- And what would you do
with the million dollars?

- Most importantly, I think
we'd give back to our families

'cause our families
have supported us a lot

with our journey.

- All right.

- That's right.

- Best of luck
to the two of you.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you very much.

[cheers and applause]

[mysterious music playing]

* *

[cheers and applause]
- Told you.

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Whoa-ho-ho!

[exciting music playing]

[cheers and applause]

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Oh!

* *

- And he's walking!

* *

- Oh!

* *

- He's gonna come over here.
- Oh, my God!

- He's gonna walk
all the way over here.

* *

[cheers and applause]

- Yes!

* *

[wild cheering]

[dramatic music]

* *

- You have a really big neck.

[laughter]

And, wow, everything
was so smooth

and elegant and incredible.

Wow.
- It's this guy.

[cheers and applause]

- Sofía.
- I thought it was amazing.

[cheers and applause]

Coming down off the stage
was incredible.

Having you guys right here,

I mean, it was perfect.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you very much.

[cheers and applause]

- What did you think?

- I think that that takes
incredible strength

and there was incredible grace,

and we've seen
hand balancers before,

and I've seen them many times,

and the most different thing
I saw was leaving the stage

and then
getting up these stairs.

- Yeah, that was amazing.

- But that being said,
that didn't bowl me over.

It really didn't.
I've seen it--

[audience booing]

- I agree with Howie.

- I didn't find it
that original.

[booing continues]

- It was good.

- I agree with Howie.

I can understand
how difficult it is.

For me, it was a bit slow.

[audience booing]

I wasn't jumping
out my chair.

- But how can that be fast?

You can't balance a person
on your head fast.

* *

- As I said, I've seen a
similar act but a better act,

so I'm gonna have to say no.

[audience booing]

- I thought it was great.
I'm gonna say yes.

[cheers and applause]

- Well, I'm gonna give you
a yes.

- Thank you.
- It's up to Howie.

You need one more yes
to go through.

[audience chanting]
Howie. Howie.

Howie. Howie.
Howie. Howie.

- Come on, Howie!

- You know, this is season 17,
and we need originality,

and we need it to explode.

And it wasn't explosive for me.

- Listen to the audience!

- It was not a wow.

- You're joking!

- Please.

[audience booing]

Okay, all right, all right,
I hear you.

[cheers and applause]

Okay?
I heard them.

But I don't care. It's a no.

[audience booing]

* *

- Boo!

- Aah!

- You know what?
Look, all I can say to you is,

genuinely,
we have seen better acts,

so that's the reason
why you didn't get four yeses,

so I'm really sorry.

- Aw!
Thank you.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you. Thank you.

- Bye.

- It was great, but it's
got to be really exciting.

So it's tough.

- Coming up...

- You are
super, super talented.

- What?
- Is that--

- Aah!

- There's too much love
in this room right now.

We need some noes.

[Miley Cyrus'
"Party in the U.S.A."]

* *

- What's your name?

- I'm Penny Starr.

- Penny Starr.

I love your outfit.
- Thank you.

- * So I put my hands up,
they're playing my song *

- And what are you gonna do
here on "AGT"?

- Dance.
- You are going to dance?

- Yes.

I've been dancing
my entire life.

And I hope everybody
loves my performance.

- * It's a party
in the U.S.A. *

- Well, hello!

- Hi. Hi, everybody.

- And who are you?
- Penny Starr.

- And where are you from,
Penny Starr?

- Palm Bay, Florida.
- Okay.

[cheers and applause]

So tell me about you.

- I'm an American.
I love it.

I'm 88 years old.
- 88.

- Wow.
- Hey!

- Are you single?

- I'm a widow now.
- Oh.

- But I had six husbands.

- No!

- Six?
- What?

- And they all died.

- They all died?

- They're all dead.
- Aw.

- May they rest in peace
and peace and peace

and peace and peace and peace.

- Okay, I'm sorry
to hear that, by the way.

- Oh, that's all right.

- Are you looking
for another one?

- Yes.

But it takes a while
to break them in.

[laughter]

- What do you think of Simon?
- Simon's all right.

He's come a long way
in the last couple years.

- Oh, thank you.

That's good to hear.

[laughter]

- Um...

[laughs]
Thrown me here, Penny.

Right, okay, good luck.

[patriotic music playing]

She's not gonna
take her clothes off.

Penny, I want to be you

[laughter]

- Penny, if you were
to go forward,

I mean, would more
clothes come off?

[music winds down]

- Would your clothes come off
if you keep going?

- Oh, yes, absolutely.

[laughter]
- I want to see more.

- You want to see more?
- I do.

- Yeah, me too.
- Oh, thank you.

- Congratulations.

- Yeah!

* *

- So unexpected.

It's like, we never know
what's coming next.

- We never know.

[cheers and applause]

- Okay.

Welcome.

And who are you?

- My name is Mr. Moo Shakes.

- You're not a bull, are you?

- No, I'm a cow.

[cow moos]

[laughter]

- And why have you
entered the show?

What's the big dream?

- My dream is to have
my own show in Las Vegas

with some of my farm friends.
- Right.

Okay, well, look, two minutes
could change your life.

Not sure with you, though.
But good luck.

- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, he's gonna play.

["Baby Got Back" playing]
- * She's just so...Black. *

- * I like big butts,
and I cannot lie *

* You other brothers
can't deny *

* When a girl walks
in with an itty-bitty waist *

* And a round thing
in your face *

* You get sprung *
- * Yeah *

- * Fellas *
- * Yeah *

- * Has your girlfriend

* Baby got back *

- He's amazing!

* *

[whip cracks]

[wild cheering]

- * I'm so excited *

* And I just can't hide it *

* *

- We've never judged a cow
who's played the drums before.

So that was unexpected.

- * I'm so excited,
and I just can't hide it *

- The first thought
that comes to mind

is Vegas, just Vegas.

It's so Vegas.

[laughter]

- I feel like most drummers
could do this.

I don't think...
- I disagree.

- It's very hard to, you know,

do this type of thing.
[audience booing]

I don't think that--

I think a lot of people
know how to do this.

[booing continues]

- I was surprised
'cause I was thinking

you were gonna do something
else with those buckets.

[laughter]

Yeah.

It was a lot of fun.

- * Let's get excited *

- Okay, Howie,
we got to vote.

Yes or no?

- I actually like it.

It's fun. It's funny.
The skill was there.

I'm giving you a yes.

- * I'm so excited *

- Thank you, Howie.

- I'm gonna give you a yes.

[cheers and applause]

Heidi?

- I didn't love it enough.

I'm gonna give you a no.

[audience booing]

- I like things which are
kind of silly and good,

and my son, Eric,
is going to love you.

I know that.

[cheers and applause]

It's a yes.

- Yeah!

There we go!

He's going!
- Thank you, Simon! Yeah!

* *

- That's a happy cow.

- It's a happy cow.

- * I'm about
to lose control *

* And I think I like it *

[cow moos]

[dramatic music]

- We're witnessing
the most incredible season

in "AGT" history.

- Exciting things
here tonight, everyone!

- We've never seen
so many talented acts.

It's amazing.

- This is the best
of the best.

* *

- Two minutes literally
can change your life.

- Hey.
- What's up, man?

- Terry Crews.
How are you?

- Nice to meet you.
- What's your name?

- Bay Turner.
- What are you here to do?

- I'm here to sing.

Ever since I was
five or six years old,

I just never stopped singing.

My parents got divorced
when I was a little kid.

Every time my dad
would pick me up,

he would play
all of these greats for me:

Donny Hathaway,
Luther Vandross,

music that's brought joy
to me when I was sad.

So it was sort of
a foundation for me.

And then I went and trained in
New York for an opera career,

but opera never really
spoke to me as an artist.

While I'm grateful for it,
it was not the path

I knew I was supposed to be on.

- Okay, here we go, guys.
Clearing stage.

- Are you ready for this?

Do you feel you can
win this whole show?

- I know I can.

"America's Got Talent"
is everything to me.

Let's go!
- Go make it happen, brother!

- It's been a dream of mine
since I was a kid.

To make that come into reality
would just--

I mean, it would
change my life.

[cheers and applause]

* *

This is crazy.
- Hello.

- Oh, my goodness.
Hi.

- Hello.
- What's your name?

- My name is Bay Turner,
I'm 25,

and I am from Houston, Texas.

- Perfect.
[cheers and applause]

- Yeah, Houston!
[laughs]

- And why have you
entered the show?

What's the big dream?

- My dream is to sell out
the biggest stages,

the biggest arenas
around the world,

just make people
feel something.

I know it's what
I'm here to do.

[cheers and applause]

- Okay.
And you're on your own today?

- My mom's in audience.

Hi, Mom.
- Over there.

- [laughs]

- Okay, tell me about you.

- Well, I work from home.

I'm a legal assistant.

And, you know, there's
a whole bunch of phone calls

that I take every day,
and I'm always singing,

so I'll answer the phone
and be singing,

and people are like, "What?"

- They think they got
a wrong number.

- Yeah, mm-hmm.
- Okay.

[laughter]
I'm really curious about you.

You know, you have
quite a boring job.

[laughter]
You want to be a singer.

And that's it.

What am I missing?

- Music has always been
a safe place for me,

and especially during COVID
and all this craziness,

I was super depressed
and super down.

I actually had a surgery.

I found two benign tumors
in my chest

and got them taken out.

The surgery was supposed
to go super routine,

and the anesthesiologist
nicked my vocal cord

and paralyzed my vocal cord.
- What?

- No.

- Yeah, so I've spent,
you know,

countless hours
using voice teachers

to be able to get my voice
back to where it's at.

So this is my first thing
back out.

I think sometimes
when life gets you down,

you just have pull up
your bootstraps

and just figure it out,
keep going.

So that's what I did.

- Great.
- Good for you.

Okay.

Bay, good luck.
- Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

["Biblical" playing]

- * I come up against myself *

* When the demons in my head
get loud *

* I don't know how you do it *

* But you turn them down *

* I slip and wonder
who I'd be *

* If I never found you
and you never found me *

* Well, I don't want to see *

* So won't you give me
tonight *

* And the rest of your life *

* I want to have it all
with you *

- Oh!

- * I want to have it all
with you *

* And when you open your eyes *

* I'll be there by your side *

* I want to have it all
with you *

* I want
to have it all with you *

* So won't you give me
tonight *

* And the rest of your life *

* I want to have it all
with you *

* I want
to have it all with you *

* I want to have *

* It all *

* *

* I want to have it all *

* 'Cause your love
is biblical *

* It's biblical *

* It's biblical *

[wild cheering]

- * The second
someone mentioned *

* You were all alone *

* I could feel the trouble *

* Coursing
through your veins *

* Now I know *

* It's got a hold *

- That was really good, Bay.

- Thank you.

- You have a really,
really beautiful tone.

You got great taste.

Yeah, it cracked
a little bit, your vocal.

It doesn't matter, though,
things like that.

I think people
are gonna like you, Bay.

- I hope so.
- Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

Howie.

- That was so powerful,

and your voice
has such a range,

those high notes.

Like that one at the end,
we don't only hear you singing.

We could feel you singing.

I know how much you like
being a legal assistant,

but I think you should try--

I would pursue singing
if I was you.

Just a thought.
- Yeah, okay. Thank you.

[laughing] Okay.

- Heidi.
- Love your voice.

I also love the high notes, how
your range goes up and down.

And there's just
something about you

that is extra special.

I really loved it.
- Thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

- Sofía.

- You seemed very nervous
at the beginning.

- Yes.

- So I'm like, "Oh, my God,

I don't know if he's gonna
be able to pull it together."

And then it was like all the
nervousness was, like, gone.

[cheers and applause]
It was very special.

- Thank you.

* *

- Now the important part.

Howie?

- Yes.
[cheers and applause]

- Heidi.

- Definite yes.

- Thank you.
- Sofía.

- Yes.

- I'm gonna say
that's about

4,500 yeses.

- * I will leave
the light on *

- * Look into the distance *

* There's a house
upon the hill *

* Guidin' like a lighthouse *

* It's a place where you'll
be safe to feel our grace *

* And if you've lost
your way *

* If you've lost
your way *

- What a nice guy.
- He's special.

- * I will leave
the light on *

- I'm so proud!
I'm so proud of you!

Oh, my God.

- * I will leave
the light on *

- I love you too.
I'm so proud of you!

- We did it!

- * 'Cause I will leave
the light on *

- Give it up
for the host of "AGT,"

Terry Crews!

[cheers and applause]

[upbeat music]

- All right.

Guys, I just want
to tell you

this is the last day
of auditions.

- I know.
- All of the talent backstage,

this is the last chance
that they can fight

to headline "AGT" Live
in Las Vegas at Luxor Hotel

and win a million dollars!

[cheers and applause]

Unfortunately our homey Howie

is not able
to be with us today.

- Thank you.

No, kidding, kidding.

Kidding.
[laughter]

Oh, God. Okay.

- But with so many
unique talents

showing themselves
on this stage,

that's something
to be celebrated, Simon?

You've seen it all.

- We've met this year

some of the most
incredible people,

the most unique talent,
honestly.

And the only thing
I'm dreading is,

we only have,
I've worked out,

very, very, very few places
for the finals.

audience: Aww.

- But there's one other thing
I want to say.

I want to say happy birthday
for Saturday, Terry.

- Oh!

Oh!

- * Happy birthday to you *

[rousing orchestral music]

- Wow!

than they were actually
on the floor.

You are crazy.
- [laughs]

- I can feel how much
you want it,

and you were so good.
Simon, what did you think?

You looked great.

I wouldn't change a thing.

It was perfection.

You're spectacular.

- Thank you!

- It's crazy
how five guys can make

so many shapes over and over
and over and over again.

So you always kept it coming.

It was never boring.

I also loved the comedy too.

I loved it.

- What was incredible
about this was the timing.

It was unbelievable.

I've never seen
an act like this.

We're looking
for something original.

It's brilliant.

You're making them forget
about their problems.

- Hello.

- What's your name?

- My name is Camille K,
I'm 16 years old,

and I'm from Mount Laurel,
New Jersey.

- I'm gonna guess
you're a singer.

- Yes, I am.

- Why did you decide
"America's Got Talent"

could be your route
to, I guess, stardom?

- I've seen so many other
amazingly talented artists

come on this show and have
their dreams come true,

so I hope it's the same case
for me.

- Okay.

How many years
you been singing for?

- Ever since I could talk.

- Since you could talk, okay.
- Yeah.

- And what made you different

from all the thousands
of other people

trying to get noticed
at the moment?

- Because I want to spread joy
and love through my music

and tell my story.

- Okay.

Good luck.

- Thank you very much.

[audience murmuring]

Okay, Camille, do you write
your own material?

- Yes, I do.
- Okay.

I mean, that was okay.

You have a nice voice.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, my only issue is,
you need to do something

more stand-out,
so I'm curious to hear

what your songwriting is like.

- Absolutely.

I'll sing an original.
- Okay.

This one is called
"Still in Love."

- And what's it about?

- It's about suffering
from a heartbreak

but you're still in love
with that said person.

- Oh.

Was this recent?

- I've actually never
really experienced it.

- Oh.
[laughter]

Nor have I.

I mean, you just have
that gift,

and you're gorgeous on top
of your gorgeous voice.

I mean, you have
the whole package.

- Thank you so much.

- I thought that your voice
was much more than beautiful.

I thought it was spectacular.

I couldn't have liked it more.

- Thank you.

- Camille, we really like you.

I think, you know,
as with all artists,

it's about finding the song
that defines you, you know?

And going forward,
if you go forward,

that is the key.

- Thank you.
- All right.

We're gonna vote.
Heidi?

- I love you.
I give you a big, fat yes!

- * I can do it *

- Of course yes!

- * I'll get through it *

Bye!

Well done!

I'm so happy.
I just can't believe it.

- You rocked it.

Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.

- You got it.
Thank you.

- Stage is set
for the next act.

- What is this?

- This is slightly worrisome.

It's not pole dancing,
I don't think.

- The Nerveless Nocks.

You're back.
How you doing?

- Good. We're so happy
to see you again.

- Oh, my goodness.
- It's great to see you.

- You guys, I mean,
were so amazing on "Extreme."

- Our signature act is the
80-foot towering sway poles.

- Wow.

- That is insane.

- Can you do the same
kind of things inside?

- Yeah, we'll be
at the apex of the ceiling.

- I've seen this act.
I'm not gonna spoil it.

It is unbelievable.

[cheers and applause]

[rock music]

- Hello.
Nice to see you again.

- Hello.
Great to see everybody.

- Give me your first names
again, please.

- Angelina Nock.

- Angelina and...

- Michelangelo.
- Okay.

And this is father
and daughter.

Why don't you tell
everyone your story?

- Well, our family has
been performing since 1840.

I'm eighth generation.

- Amazing.

- We actually got
our family name

from the queen of England.

She told my grandfather
that the sway poles,

your act is "simply nerveless."

So now our name
is the Nerveless Nocks.

- That's our stage name.

[cheers and applause]

- And tell everyone
what your dream is.

- My dream is to continuing
this family tradition of ours

as long as possible.

- And we met a few months ago
on "AGT Extreme."

- There is no net.
There is no air bag.

- That is insane.
- That's insane.

That's crazy.
- This is incredible!

- We will see you in the final.

- Thank you.

We were so excited.

It was a dream come true.

And we did so well.
We were so grateful.

And then I got sick.
audience: Aww.

- So they weren't able
to compete in the finals.

- But we're back!

- Welcome back!

[cheers and applause]

- Are you gonna do
the same thing,

or are you gonna do
something different?

- Since "Extreme,"
Angelina's been performing

in our backyard new stunts.

We don't use
any safety devices.

We practice a lot.

So I hope you enjoy
what she's learned.

- Let's do it.
Good luck.

- Thank you, Simon.

- Yeah, good luck!

[cheers and applause]

That is high.

This is scary.

- I'm scared.
She looks nervous.

[tense music playing]

* *

[audience gasping]

* *

[people shrieking]

* *

- Aah!

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Oh, no!
- Aah!

* *

- Is this guy
gonna catch her?

Are these guys gonna catch her?
- I don't know.

* *

- Aah!

* *

- He almost hit the light.

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

She's putting on a blindfold.

- No, no, no.

[audience gasps]

* *

- Oh!

- Oh, they're hanging
upside down!

[audience gasps]

- Aah!
- Oh, they're slipping down!

- Oh, my God, no, no, no.

- They look tangled.
- She's stuck?

- Uh-oh.

- Yeah, she's stuck
by her foot.

* *

- Whoo!

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

- What is she doing now?

* *

- Aah!

Aah!

* *

[wild cheering]

- The Nerveless Nocks!

[Andy Grammer's
"Don't Give Up On Me"]

* I will fight *

* *

* I will fight for you *

* *

* I always do until my heart *

* Is black and blue *

* *

* And I will stay *

* *

* I will stay with you *

- "Nerveless"
is the best description.

* *

- Okay, wow.

Heidi?
- I mean, my hands are wet.

My heart is beating.
I'm slightly seasick.

I mean, this was
going back and forth,

and thinking about the two
of you, I am exhausted.

You guys are fantastic.
- Thank you so much.

- And you leave us
wanting more.

I want to see what else
you come up with.

- Sofía.

- That was intense.

[cheers and applause]

What were those guys
on the side doing?

Were they gonna
be able to catch you?

No?

- Probably not.

- I think that was spectacular.

And I think everybody
was going crazy.

- * 'Cause I'm not giving up *

* I'm not giving up *

- I think what is
amazing about you two

is that you look so normal
and you're not.

You're just not.

I think what you did just then
was unbelievable.

Strangely, this was for me more
intense because it so close.

You know, I could see
something going on up there

because you were kind of,
like, signaling to each other.

What was going on up there?

- As the act went on,
I could see

Angelina was getting
physically tired and emotional.

So I was worried about her.

I told her to take it easy,
remember the training,

and she will be good.

We're just human beings
in the end,

so we have to be careful too.

* *

To us, this is the greatest
stage on Earth.

This is it, right here.

[cheers and applause]

- Well, we're gonna vote.

Let's start with Heidi.
- It's a yes.

- Thank you.
- Sofía.

- Yes, of course.

- And now you have
the three yeses.

You're through to the next
round, congratulations.

[cheers and applause]

- * 'Cause I'm not
giving up *

- Fantastic!
- Amazing.

- * No, not yet *

* Even when I'm down
on my last breath *

* *

* Even when they say
there's nothing left *

* So don't give up on me *

- Howie is, like, missing out.

- 100%.
- Whoo! All right!

We made it, Angelina!

- We did it.
- Yeah!

Come on!

- Hey, everybody!

That is the end
of our auditions

for "America's Got Talent"
season 17!

- * I can't stop the *

- This season,
the judges said yes

to 138 acts.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.

- You have...4,000 yeses.

- * I can't stop the feeling *

- I wanted to go for my dream.

- I love you!

- You are a star
already in the making.

- That was sensational!

- I think this could be
a life-changing moment for you.

- Now they must choose
less than half

to go through
to the live shows.

- We have our six
Golden Buzzers.

We know they're going through.

- * When I'm getting
you close *

- The live shows,
normally we have 36 acts.

This year, it's gonna be 55.
- Ooh!

- I absolutely cannot believe
the talent this year.

Even 55 is gonna be tough.

- Our judges must now face
their toughest decision yet.

- There are so many
great contenders

all deserving to be
the million-dollar winner.

- How are we gonna do this?

- Honestly, I have no idea.

- * Come on *
- * Ooh, ooh *

[The O'Jays' "Love Train"]

- Whoo!

* *

- * People all over
the world *

- We have come
all the way out here

to this beautiful oasis
in Malibu,

which is Simon's house,
for deliberation.

Yo!

Hi, baby, you know it.

- * Love train *

- All right, guys, here we are.

Simon, Heidi, Howie,
how are you guys doing today?

- We're good.
- Great.

- And Sofía,
she's not able to be here,

but she is sending her notes.

- Notes?
- Yeah.

Look, they're right here.
Want to check them out?

- Do you want to have
a little look?

- Here you go.
It's really heavy.

- Oh, my God.

Look how she BeDazzled it.

- Look at that.

- I mean...

- So we've got
to take 138 yeses.

- Wow, that was a lot of yeses.

- You guys have to pare
that down to 55 acts.

- How are we gonna do this?

- Now, let's take a look
at the six Golden Buzzers

to remind ourselves who already
has a place in the live shows.

This may help with your
choices moving forward.

- You mind if I start?

Because I got to talk
about my man Avery Dixon.

He had the most amazing story.
- Yes.

- I was getting bullied
in elementary school.

And it was relentless.

- I love Avery.

You know, he reminds me of me.

We've all been bullied before.

- That's when I started
actually learning how to play.

- Good for you.

[rollicking saxophone music
playing]

* *

- Do it, Avery!

- And I knew that I had to be
his champion.

I knew there was a connection
between both of us.

* *

Oh.

All those bullies
are gonna have to watch

you succeed, my friend!

[uplifting music]

[cheers and applause]

You tell every bully
that you have a big brother

named Terry Crews!

[cheers and applause]

[line rings]

Hey, Ma.
Hey, fam.

What's up, y'all?

I'm so proud of you, man.

I love you, brother.

Your talent is incredible.

- Thank you.
- I got your back.

All right, family.
I love you!

Congratulations!

[cheers and applause]

- I'm so happy that you
shined your light on that guy.

- You changed this guy's life,
not only his career.

- 21 years old.

- I think the Golden Buzzers
more this year

are resonating more
than any other year.

I think it's like a gold medal.

- It really is.
- No, I really--

that's how I look at them now.
- Oh.

- My name is Sara.

- Where are you from, Sara?

- I'm from Poland.

- Are you?
- [laughs]

- Certain artists,
they do walk out

with what I call a glow.

- * Hope someday I'll make it *

* Out of here *

- 13 years old,
dreamt about doing this,

flown halfway around the world,
it's big.

She's gonna be
a big star, this girl.

- * Whoa *

* Hope someday
I'll make it *

* Out of here *

- This is amazing.
A star is born.

- Yeah.
- * Welcome home *

[cheers and applause]

- Wow.
- Wow.

- I can remember when I came
to America for the first time.

Now, that was 20-odd years ago,

and that was a moment
I'll never forget.

And I want to make this
a moment for you

to remember forever.

[uplifting music]

[cheers and applause]

Hello, everyone.
all: Hello!

- My God, you are incredible.

- Aah, I'm so excited.
[laughs]

- Your voice, your talent,
your star quality.

- Oh, my God!

- I'm so happy for you, Sara.
Congratulations.

- Thank you so much, Simon.
Love you.

- Take care, everyone.
all: Bye.

- Bye-bye.

She's retweeted it twice.

- Wow.
- Billie?

- Yeah.
- Billie Eilish?

- Yeah.

There are so many great people
this year.

- * Amazing grace *

- Oh, Madison.
- Oh, my God.

My Golden Buzzer was truly
such a surprise to me.

I had no idea.

- Now, we put her up there.

- So did you know?
- I knew.

- But we didn't know.

- But you guys didn't know.

And she had been coming
to the show for years.

- Amazing.

Why don't you go
and sit up on the stage?

- And Simon put
the pressure on her

and said, "Go up on the stage.

And you don't need a track
and you don't need anything."

And she just took it
to the next level.

- * How precious did *

* That grace *

* Appear *

* That saved a *

- This is the moment
when I just got blown away.

- * Like me *

- Whoo!

- [holding note]

[cheers and applause]

- She brought the audience
to their feet.

And I just went "Oh, my God,
this is magical."

From the audience seats
right to the live show.

You ready?

* *

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Maddie.
- Hi, Mr. Howie.

- Just call me Howie.

- [laughs]
Hi, Howie.

- The voice coming out
of that little girl

that I'm looking at right now,

I cannot wait to see
what you're gonna do next.

- I'm insanely excited,
and I can't wait

for whatever's
gonna come next.

- "AGT" Live!

- Yes.

- I can't wait to see you.

I miss you.
- Miss you too.

- I'll see you there.
- Thank you so much, Howie.

Nice to see you.

- I know. I know.
- [laughs]

- Maddie could win
this whole thing.

I think Maddie could win
this whole thing.

- Ooh, that I loved too.

I loved them.

- We're the Mayyas.

- Where are you from?

- Lebanon.
- From Lebanon.

- Lebanon.
- That's Sofía's Golden Buzzer.

- Being a dancer a female Arab

is not fully supported yet.

- From the moment I saw them,
I knew they were special.

- Us being here is our only
chance to prove to the world

what Arab women can do.

[suspenseful music playing]

The art we can create,
the fights we fight.

- Dancing, it's such
an important part

of their culture,
of who they are.

- They're eyes!
They're eyes!

- To be able to showcase it
like that in "AGT" was amazing.

- Oh!

* *

- Oh, my God!

- Look at this.

Can you imagine what
they'll do in the lives?

- They're very talented.

- Wow!
- Wow!

- I would be so honored
to empower you even more.

I want to be part of this.

[dramatic music]

* *

For a group of beautiful girls
from a country

where they have struggles
of being, you know, women

and doing this kind
of performances,

so it was great to be able
to give them

the Golden Buzzer.

I want to be part of this!

[cheers and applause]

Hi, Mayyas, how are you?

- Hi, Sofía.

We're great.

- The whole world has seen
how amazing you are,

and I am so proud
of your performance

because it was so beautiful,
mesmerizing.

[cheers and applause]

So happy to be part
of your journey on "AGT."

I love you all.
I'm so proud!

all: Love you!
- Bye!

My God, that was so amazing.

- There are so many talented
acts that could win this year.

- The stakes have been raised.

- Yeah.

- Coming up...

- Even 55 is gonna be tough.

- Almost half the acts
are going home tonight.

- It's a yes.
both: No.

- Me too.
- I'm telling you, yes.

- It's a yes.
- Let's agree to disagree.

- Let the public decide.

[gentle music]

- I miss Sofía.
- I know.

- Did anybody say that
when I wasn't there?

- No!
Are you kidding?

[laughter]

- Look, there's
my Golden Buzzer.

Aw.
- Aw.

- Hi.
- My name is Lily Meola.

The song I'm gonna do today is
an original song that I wrote.

- I kind of promised myself,
like, okay, this season,

I'm not going to pick
a singer,

but then with her,
it was different.

[sighs]
Already I'm all choked up.

When she talked
about, like, her mom...

- My life flipped upside down,

and my mom
was diagnosed with cancer.

- Is she okay?

- No, she passed away.

- I'm sorry, Lily.

- * Darling, don't quit
your daydream *

* It's your life
that you're making *

- She pulled
on all of my strings.

- * If it doesn't scare
the hell out of you *

- And I fell in love with her.

- * If it makes you nervous *

* It's probably worth it *

- You know what it is?
It's emotion.

That's what this is.

- * When you could be
living your daydream *

[cheers and applause]

- I don't know what to say.
I'm, like, speechless.

Just everything about you,
you just light up.

I see a light around you,

and I really, really like you,
so I'm gonna do this.

I'm gonna push
this Golden Buzzer for you.

It's you!

Yeah!
[cheers and applause]

[uplifting music]

Hello, hello, Lily!

Oh, what's up? There.

You really--
you took my breath away.

And I even was crying
when you were singing.

- Thank you so much.

I was in shock.

- Enjoy this moment,
and I can't wait

to see you at the live shows.

- Thank you. You too.
- Mwah!

- Mwah, mwah, mwah!

- I think you're gonna
knock it out of the park.

- Thank you.

- I know you're
a little jealous.

We're gonna battle it out.

- Our name is Chapel Hart.

- Oh, I love these ladies.
- Yes.

- We've been trying
to break into Nashville

for the last couple years,
but it's been kind of hard

when I think country music
doesn't always look like us.

- Tell me where you see
yourselves in five years' time

if you do well on this show.

- World domination.
- World domination.

- Somebody get out your seat
tonight.

- The crowd's on their feet.

Chapel Hart took
the house down.

- * I took my keys
and threw them at his door *

- I love people
with big personalities.

They were just so fun.

- * Give me all I need *

- Great energy.
- Yeah.

- * Could ask
for any more *

* Oh, Jolene *

- The group Golden Buzzer
is, you know,

a very special Golden Buzzer.

And they were great.

They deserved it.

- Five, four, three, two, one!

[dramatic music]

* *

Three, two, one!

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, Chapel Hart,
congratulations.

- Getting the group
Golden Buzzer,

that doesn't happen
very often.

[cheers and applause]

- You ladies were amazing.

- We love the message.
We love the performance.

- We hope you're ready
for the world

to know who Chapel Hart is.

[cheers and applause]

- A huge congratulations

to getting through
to the live shows.

- See you soon, ladies.

- We love you.
- Bye.

- Mwah!
[cheers and applause]

- Chapel Hart, you are going
straight to the live shows!

- This is anybody's win
this year.

There are so many
great contenders

all deserving to be
the million-dollar winner.

- I am so thankful that we have
our six Golden Buzzers,

but there are still
very, very hard decisions

you guys have to make tonight.

- We said yes to 138 acts.

We've never said yes
to so many people.

So that says it all.

- Even 55 is gonna be tough.

We're gonna lose
a ton of great people.

- Right.

- There's only 55 spots,

so almost half of the acts
are going home.

I don't know, but Terry
better be watching for my acts.

- A very, very hard decision
you guys have to make tonight.

The stakes have been raised.
- Yeah.

I hate this part.

I could see the 55 in my mind.

It is nowhere near
what the others are thinking.

Trust me, there'll be
a lot of arguments.

- So tell me, yes or no?

* *

- I would put her through.

- I think she was great.

I don't know that there's more.

- We're battling it out
right now.

I'm bringing out the gun-inis,
and I'm ready.

Are you kidding?
- No.

No, I'm not kidding.
- It's a yes.

both: No.

- Aubrey Burchell,
the girl from Target.

- She is one of my favorites.

- There are people you
just don't want to lose.

But you got to find
that perfect mix.

Do you like him?
- That one, I agree on.

- Listen,
I'm representing Sofía.

I remember she loved him.

He was an amazing dancer.
- Yeah.

- That's a yes.
That's a yes.

- Yes.

- There's too much love
in this room right now.

We need some noes.

These are people's lives.

These are their hopes.
These are their dreams.

And it's in our hand.

Yes.
- It's a yes for me too.

- I'm telling you, yes.
- It's a yes.

- Can we agree on a no?

- Where's the guy
with the PowerPoint?

- I like him.

- Oh, he was--there he is.
- I like him!

- That's a yes.

- This one can go.
This one.

- I can't see this again.
I had nightmares.

- You cannot see it again?
- I couldn't.

- Whoa!

- This one, I thought
was quite stunning too.

- Yeah, he was
the sword swallower.

- This has to be
in front of that one.

- Let's agree to disagree.
That's a yes.

- It's a definite yes.

- Does everybody agree?

- Yeah.

* *

- Okay, guys.
We have 54 yeses.

We need one more.

We have finally come
to the last choice.

- There's four people
we keep going backwards

and forwards,
backwards and forwards.

Let me suggest something.

We don't decide.

Let the public decide.

Like a wild card

but a voting wild card.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- And then
that's our 55th spot.

- Yes.

- Okay, guys, we have done it.

We have our choices to go

to the live shows next week.

- Ow!
- Wow.

- I'm so excited.

It's been a great year,
and now the hard part happens,

the live shows.

- It's up to America now.
- Yeah.

- It's gonna be really
competitive, as it should be.

It's the best of the best.

- The judges have
picked four acts

to compete for the final
live shows spot,

but the final decision
is up to America.

The wild cards are
Ben Waites...

- It was special.
It was different.
