[Lizzo's "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)"]

- All right.

Yeah, that was cool.

- Oh, wow.

Simon, what do you think?

- It's so funny and original.

And this is the kind of act we should

be encouraging on the show.

- I thought what you did was great.

You're using technology.

You're using art.

And you had a phenomenal amount of control.

But I don't think Mel and Sofía understands or--

- [laughs] The beauty of it.

- You're a professional drone operator?

- Yes. - Seriously?

Because your aim is way off, brother.

[audience booing]

I mean, all I can say is, I will never get

those two or three minutes back in my life.

- OK. - And I'm angry.

- Sofía.

- It was cute, but I don't know if it's,

like, at the level of the other stuff that we have seen.

[audience booing]

- I--I agree.

- Right.

I'm gonna kick this off, as you can tell,

because I really love this-- yes.

- Thank you! - I loved it.

It's a yes from me.

- Mel.

- Absolutely, no. No.

[audience booing]

- It's down to Sofía.

Look at me.

- * Am I ready *

I really like him, but--

[cheering]

- [chanting] Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

* *

- But I can't.

I'm gonna have to say no.

[music stops]

[audience booing]

- Please go back to Japan

with your head held high because we love you.

[cheering] - * Am I ready *

- His head held high.

- With his big head.

[laughter]

You're out of your mind.

You're out of your mind.

- That is technology.

And you are turning your head--

- Simon with a beard?

- That's exact.

- Tani, come here.

Tani, aw!

Oh, man.

It's just like standing next to Simon.

- Thank you.

[dramatic music]

That's what I'm talking about!

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Let go. Let go.

It was kind of a joke.

Mel.

I ain't gonna lie.

In the last hour, I probably done peed eight times.

I'm rooting for you.

I want you to succeed.

Your harmonies-- you know your stuff.

Well done. - Thank you.

Thank you.

For some reason, I love when siblings come to this stage.

It's so meaningful.

It gives me, like, something, you know, in my heart.

I really thank you for coming tonight.

- Thank you for having us. - Thank you for having us.

Thank you.

Thank you for having us.

- Whoa. Oh. Oh.

[grunts] - Hey!

- Wow. You got an arm. - Oh, yeah.

20 years ago, I was in my parents' house,

watching the show with my mom.

And now, like, I'm actually here.

That was Terry Crews.

Oh, my gosh.

No way.

That was crazy.

All of these people are so talented.

They look like they're supposed to be in Hollywood.

And then I look at me, and I'm just a teacher.

And I've never performed in front of a crowd before.

So I'm definitely an underdog.

- OK, here we go. - All right.

Come on, Amanda. You got this.

- * Lately, I've been running through this strange life *

[cheers and applause]

* Throwing out the shade for a little bit of sunshine *

They'll come to me, and they're like, you know,

I'm really nervous about trying out for the basketball team.

And I'm like, you have this.

So I'm like, if I'm gonna talk the talk,

I better walk the walk, you know what I'm saying?

- Yes. - Yeah.

Good luck. - Thank you so much.

Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

Don't wanna boast.

- [laughs]

from three different locations.

The first location, I have to make three footballs.

And then for the grand finale, I have to make one football.

Let's go, Amanda!

I'm a girl dad. - Yes.

- I am so thrilled.

You set a great example.

That was incredibly inspirational.

- Yeah. - Thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

- I would like to ask Terry--

Terry, what did you think of this?

- That was unbelievable. - Right?

- [yelling in slow motion]

- And she made that throw on the first try.

That was so hard.

- Crazy.

That was spectacular.

Congratulations.

I couldn't believe it.

I don't even know what I did, to be honest with you.

I got four yeses.

Let's go. - Oh, my gosh! Honey!

We're striping the floor.

I'm turning 13--

- No.

No, no, no, no.

- There's more? - No, please.

No, please.

- They're going down to the seats.

* *

[cheers and applause]

- No.

- Oh, my God.

- Come on.

- Oh, my gosh.

* *

- Why?

* *

[suspenseful music]

- Why?

* *

[cheering]

* *

* *

- Oh, my God!

- Enough!

[cheers and applause]

[Aloe Blacc's "Made From the Stars"]

- * I believe, I believe * - That was incredible!

- * All roads lead to sweet destiny *

- That was good.

- Oh, my God!

- * A thousand degrees *

* Lord knows we got some tricks up our sleeve *

* Magic, break me off *

* So come alive and step out of the door *

- That was [bleep] incredible.

* *

My gosh.

OK.

OK, Mel.

- Well, I haven't said it so far,

but I'm gonna say it to you guys.

That was off the chain!

- Yeah!

- Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you.

- Mwah.

- That's it. - That's it?

OK.

Sofía?

- I mean, I cannot even imagine the amount of work

to be able to do it so perfectly.

It was exciting.

It was perfection.

I thought that was spectacular.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Howie.

- Yeah, you know, the key--

the word that I keep using is "surprise."

It was just jaw-dropping brilliance.

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- Yes, it was.

- You're right. It is jaw-dropping brilliance.

I mean, it's difficult to put into words.

I think we all felt the same way,

which is we've never seen anything like this.

It's so hard--

seriously hard, so exciting.

This is one of the best acts we've seen this year.

Honestly. Respect.

- * You've got that magic *

Howie? - Yes.

- Mel.

- No-brainer.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Thank you.

- Sofía.

- Yes!

- Four yeses.

- Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

* *

- That was frightening.

I went over there.

Sorry, ladies.

- It's insane.

- TT Boys, unbelievable.

First of all, you just shocked the world.

I didn't even know that was possible.

Thank you for bringing your talent here.

I can't wait to see what you do next.

Oh, my God. Who's next?

- How you guys doing? - We're good.

This is my wife, Kimberly.

I'm Austin.

- Are you both performing together?

- It's just me, but I couldn't do it without her.

- Listen, listen, I've been married 36 years.

- Oh, amazing. I want to catch up.

- Can't do it without her. - I'm trying to catch up.

- Here we go.

- Here we go.

Here we go. Here we go.

- Looks like it's time.

Let's go make it out there, brother.

Let's go.

[upbeat music]

* *

[cheers and applause]

- All right. This for real.

- Yeah, it's happening.

- Hello.

- Howdy, howdy, y'all.

- Howdy, howdy, you.

Tell us your name.

- My name is Austin Brown, and I'm from

a little town in South Georgia called Tifton.

But Nashville, Tennessee, is now my home.

- Ah, there we are.

- OK, Austin.

So tell us a little bit about you, why you're here.

- Sure, I've been doing this for going on 20 years now.

My earliest memories are singing with my father,

singing Southern gospel music.

After that, I performed on cruise ships

and theme parks and bars.

And then I spent a good ten years or so

with a really successful a cappella group.

- So what happened with that?

- I met an incredible woman, and I fell in love.

And--

[cheering]

And suddenly, all the things that I had been chasing

just weren't as important anymore.

And I also didn't want to get 10, 20, 30, 40 years

down the road and wish that I had

fought harder for my dreams.

- So are you saying that you wanted to be a solo artist,

not being in a group?

- Yeah, I knew that I had to give that a shot.

And now I'm here.

- OK, good.

Well, good luck.

- Thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

[romantic music playing]

* *

- * When a man loves a woman *

* Can't keep his mind on nothing else *

* He'd trade the world for the good thing he's found *

- I wasn't expecting that.

- No.

- * Oh *

* When a man loves a woman *

* Oh *

* I'll give you everything I got *

* Oh *

* Trying to hold on *

* To your precious love *

* Baby, baby, please don't treat me bad *

* *

* When a man loves a woman *

* I know exactly how he feels *

* She can bring him such misery *

- Ooh!

- Give it to 'em, baby.

- * Yes, when a man loves a woman *

* Deep down in his soul *

* Ooh *

[cheers and applause]

- That was hot!

[Donny Hathaway's "A Song for You"]

- * I've been so many places *

* In my life and time *

* *

* I've sung a lot of songs *

* I've made some bad rhymes *

- Let's go to Sofía.

- Your voice is beautiful.

I can feel that you mean what you were singing.

I really liked it.

- Thank you so much.

- Mel.

- That was a really great audition.

I loved your trills.

I love that you owned the song.

I enjoyed it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

- Howie. - My feeling is this--

that was really, really good and really heartfelt.

It was beautiful.

But this is season 20, and it's gotta

be way more than just beautiful,

way more than just good. And that was--

[audience booing] Really good singing.

- * I treated you unkindly *

* But darling, can't you see? *

- OK.

OK, OK, OK, OK.

Austin, we're gonna vote. Howie?

- For me, it's a no.

[audience booing]

- Sofía.

- I'm gonna say yes.

[cheering]

- I'm definitely gonna say yes.

What are you doing?

- Thank you.

- Listen to the audience also. [cheers and applause]

- [all chanting] Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

- Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

- They can change it. - Come on!

- * 'Cause my love is in there hiding *

- Simon, what do you think?

- This is not gonna make me popular.

I'm gonna say no.

- What?

[audience booing] - * I love you *

- Boo! - Boo!

- Austin, my advice is, honestly, next time,

is rather than doing something slightly generic--

- Can I sing something else for you?

- No, and I'll tell you why--

because we don't have enough time.

Austin, talk to the producer.

If we can find another day, yes.

But I can't--we won't be able to have time tonight.

- * And I was singing this song to you *

[cheers and applause]

- Austin, please, please, come here.

Please, please, come here.

Ah.

- That guy really wasn't ready, right?

- He's not. - You don't think?

- I don't. - Really?

- No. I just got a feeling.

I might be wrong.

* *

- I hate saying no.

- I'm a pretty introverted person, but I just--

I love connecting with people.

And music is the medium to do that.

- Yay.

[laughs]

- My mom is the kindest person I know.

- She's my number-one supporter.

- Yeah.

[inspirational music]

* *

- As I get older, I realize the distance between me

and the future that I want is taking risks

and doing things that are scary.

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

Here we go.

- And it's time to step out of my shell.

[cheers and applause]

* *

- Hello, and welcome.

- Oh, thank you so much.

- And what's your name?

- My name is Cole Swensen.

- How old are you, Cole?

- I'm 23.

- OK.

Is this what you do full time, or do you have another job?

- I've played smaller venues around LA

for the past four years. - Yeah.

- But it's my dream to be on stages like this.

And this is just an opportunity

I'm so grateful for, so thank you.

[cheers and applause]

- OK, no more questions.

Let's do it. - OK.

Well, a large reason of why I pursue music

is because of my mom.

- Aw.

- She gave up her career and her dream of music.

And I am able to take her place.

So she's gonna be here playing with me.

- Oh. - Oh.

OK.

What's your mom's name?

- Judy.

- Where are you, Judy?

Come on, Judy.

[cheering]

- Wow.

- Hello, Judy.

How are you, Judy?

- Good. Happy?

- Good.

Let's do it.

[cheers and applause]

[Coldplay's "All My Love"]

* *

- * We've been through low *

* Been through sunshine, been through snow *

- Mel.

- You have a really distinctive tone in your voice.

And you controlled it, and you sailed through that song.

And you made it your own.

- Thank you so much.

- You know, you took a song that I love.

And I love your rendition as much.

And to see love emulated on the stage like that--

just--my heart is just exploding.

It was beautiful.

- * You've got all my love *

- It was beautiful.

It was amazing to see,

you know, a family come together.

And the love that you guys have between each other.

And I got really, like, emotional.

Thank you.

- * You got all my love *

- Well, I think this would have been

a really good audition on your own.

- What?

[audience booing]

- That's mean.

What about Judy?

- [audience chanting] Judy! Judy! Judy! Judy!

Judy! Judy! Judy!

- A really, really good audition if you had

just sang this on your own.

However, with your mom, it was a great audition.

[cheering]

- * 'Cause you got all my love *

- It made it--

I don't know-- way more interesting

and actually made you, in my opinion,

very cool to do that because you're not following the herd.

You're doing what you wanna do.

And that makes you stand out.

[cheers and applause]

both: I told you.

[laughter]

- I loved it. Really loved it.

* *

Howie? - Yes.

- Mel?

- Yes.

- Absolutely, yes.

[cheering]

- And you got four yeses. Congratulations.

- * You've got all my love *

* *

* Whether it rains or pours *

* I'm all yours *

* La-la la-la la-lay *

- Oh, he's--he's crying.

- * That's all, all I can say *

- Did great.

Nice people.

- You know what's funny?

When you went, "You are following your own path."

And she turned--the mother turned to him and went,

"I told you." - No, she didn't.

- Yes, she did. - We saw it.

- It was amazing.

- It was cute, wasn't it?

- Give me an A!

Give me a G! Give me a T!

- * Sunshine, lollipops *

- Hello, everyone.

It's a great day today.

- * Everything that's wonderful is what I feel *

* When we're together * [music fades to ominous tone]

That's-- - [laughing]

[ominous music]

- You're nervous.

- I am. I hate clowns so much.

But that was brilliant. - Yeah!

- Really.

I'm laughing because it scared me.

And that was horrific but great at the same time.

- Howie?

- Oh, my God.

I can't even breathe.

Go ahead. Somebody else.

- Sofía?

- I thought it was brilliant and scary.

I mean, we couldn't take our eyes off you.

- Horrible.

- That was actually really frightening

and awful at the same time, but really entertaining.

- OK, let's wrap this up.

- Howie.

- I'm afraid to say no. Yes.

- Mel B.

- Yes, yes. Come on.

- Sofía Vergara. - Yes.

- I never thought I would be saying this to three clowns.

Four yeses.

[cheers and applause]

[chilling music]

* *

- All right, guys.

OK.

I understand--hey, hey, hey, hey, OK.

- Come on, darling.

Do you want a crisp?

Here you go.

Who's got a funny little nose?

Hmm? [exhales]

- Simon? - Oh, hi, Mel.

Welcome.

- No wonder you keep leaving.

- Oh, did no one tell you about this?

- No.

- Sorry. [laughs]

I designed it with my friends at IKEA.

- It's really pretty.

- Ay, dios mío.

I've been looking all over.

So this is where you are all the time.

And what are you doing here, Amore?

- Yeah, she stays here.

You stay here. - Hello, hello, hello.

Hello. - What do you think?

- This is so nice. - Yeah.

- Why would you just walk away?

- This is where he is always.

- I like it out here.

You got everything from IKEA.

But can I ask you something? - Yeah.

- It's an IKEA lounge.

Where are the meatballs?

[laughter]

Week one was killer.

- It was amazing. It was great.

- I loved it.

- We still need to find the superstars.

- Yeah. - Hey.

So this is where everybody is.

Hey, guys, we got a show to do.

[crickets chirping]

- OK, back to work.

- Thank you, IKEA.

- [sighs]

Here we go.

[upbeat rock music]

ever since we got introduced to rock and roll.

"AGT" Season 20--

* Here we come! *

* *

We've flown for 22 hours halfway across the world.

- Here we are in LA.

- Audience, you ready?

[cheers and applause]

There's a million dollars at stake.

So this has to go well.

Are you guys ready?

Let's go, guys!

all the way from Sikkim, India.

- Wow.

[cheers and applause]

- How long have you been a band for?

- Oh, now it's been almost 16 years.

- Oh, wow.

- Yeah, it's been quite some time, yeah.

- OK.

When you were thinking about coming on the show,

was there any point where you thought,

I'm not sure we should do this?

- Well, yeah, a lot of times, actually.

I think the environment is something completely new to us.

Yeah. - This is crazy.

This is absolutely awesome and crazy.

- Well, no more questions.

Good luck.

- Thank you so much.

[guitar strums]

[hard rock music playing]

Are you ready?

* *

* I let it fall, my heart *

- * And as it fell, you rose to claim it *

* It was dark, and I was over *

* Until you kissed my lips and you saved me *

* But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew *

* All the things you'd say *

* They were never true, never true *

* And the games you'd play *

* You would always win, always win *

* And I set fire to the rain *

* And I threw us into the flames *

* When we fell, something died *

* 'Cause I knew that that was *

* The last time, oh *

* *

* Even now, when we're already over *

* I can't help myself from looking for you *

* I set fire *

[sustained vocalizing]

* *

* To the rain *

* I set fire to the rain *

* Watched it pour as I touched your face *

* Let it burn while I cried *

* 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name *

* Your name *

* Your name *

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

[Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain"]

- Incredible!

- * I let it fall, my heart *

* And as it fell, you rose to claim it *

* It was dark *

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sofía.

- I loved that!

- Yeah!

- You guys look amazing, sound amazing.

It's so surprising.

I mean, the whole audition was--

[cheering]

--on point. - Whoo-hoo.

- * To you that I never knew, never knew *

* All the things you'd say, they were never true *

- I don't know--

I don't know what it is about you,

but I think you're one of my favorite acts

so far this season.

- Thank you.

- * I set fire to the rain *

- I do like this kind of rock.

You come from the other side of the globe

and do something which is so traditionally American.

It was so beautiful.

- Rock and roll.

- Right back at you.

* *

- You can't fake a reaction behind us.

[cheers and applause] - * I let it fall, my heart *

- What we just felt behind us, the audience, was real.

- Amazing.

This is one of the best crowds ever.

- I could feel it.

They liked you.

We liked you.

And your voice is really, really good, by the way.

- Thank you.

- OK, we're gonna vote.

Howie. - Yes.

- Mel.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Thank you!

- Sofía.

- Three yeses.

- Welcome to "AGT," with four yeses.

- * I set fire to the rain *

* Watched it pour as I touched your face *

* Well, it burned while I cried *

* 'Cause I heard it screaming *

- Thank you.

- All right, Girish and the Chronicles.

[laughs]

Guys, how are you feeling right now, man?

That was incredible.

- For me, personally, I think this was

one of the best shows ever.

- Listen, congratulations, man.

You rocked this place.

You put this place on fire.

[dramatic music]

- I think you are perfect.

- I was gonna do it!

- That was my Golden Buzzer!

* *

You took it away!

- Here we go, folks. Here we go.

- I saw you before once, right?

- Yeah, maybe. - You were on Season 14?

- Yeah, we was.

- Wow, I remember.

- Yeah, the hand balance with our other brother.

Last time we were here in "America's Got Talent,"

we got all the way to the semifinals.

- Going into the finals is...

Tyler Butler-Figueroa!

- We gave our best to it, and all of a sudden,

the light just goes out on you.

It was heartbreaking.

Yeah. Hard to talk about.

[soft dramatic music]

We always regretted not making it to the final.

And then when we heard that it was Season 20,

we was like, this is the perfect time to come back.

* *

We have unfinished business here.

So we spent the last six years developing

something completely new.

- You ready?

- Ready.

- Everybody, have a seat.

Everybody, have a seat, please.

Let's go.

- There's a lot on the line for us.

I think this is definitely the most important act

that we've ever performed.

- Here we go, folks. Here we go.

[cheers and applause]

- Hi, guys.

Welcome back to "America's Got Talent."

I recognize you-- - Yeah.

- 'Cause I saw you on the show before.

Tell us your name and a little bit about yourselves.

- I'm Karim.

- I'm Soffien.

- And together, we are the Messoudi Brothers.

We work normally with our third brother, but--

- That's what I was gonna say.

There was three of you before.

- There's still three of us.

We left our brother at home for this one

because he just decided to sit out.

He has two children now, and so--

- Aww.

- He does some time off every now and then.

But he still works with us. - So he dumped you.

- Not really. [laughs]

We still work together,

but we're trying something new that's

quite a lot more dangerous than what we did last time.

So--

- Is he gonna be happy or sad if you do well?

- Oh, he'll be very happy.

[laughter]

- All right, then. Go, then.

Go. The stage is yours.

Good luck.

- Ready?

[cheering]

Let's do it.

[audience clamoring]

- When they were here, they were a balancing act.

- Balancing, yeah, yeah.

- It wasn't knives.

- Oh, my God.

- Maybe I should duck behind here.

[laughs]

- * I recall *

* And I see my family every month *

[cheering]

- Are you mental?

- Oh, my God.

- * She'll come and stay the night *

- Thank you very much.

- Simon, what did you think?

- What did I think?

It was breathtaking.

That might be the only time I've ever liked a juggling act.

Being serious.

'Cause honestly, it felt different.

And we always say, this show relies on moments.

And that's what I call a moment, big time.

- Yes. - Thank you, Simon.

Really appreciate you.

- Big time.

- Thank you so much.

- Howie?

- It's incredibly dangerous.

- I ripped a hole in my jacket.

That's why I couldn't get my arm back in.

- Oh, that's why.

- This act was, like, spectacular, no?

And to see how hard it was, because I felt like you

had a little bit of trouble trying--

that made it even better.

We realized how hard this is.

- Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much.

- * That's a feeling I wanna get used to *

- Well, can I just say, having seen you before,

I didn't think you'd be able to top it.

And it was really frightening to watch you take them off,

which has never happened before, that I've been

scared of anything like that. [laughter]

But then scared--

I was that scared for you to put them back on.

[laughter]

[cheering]

But I do think I want to say one thing to you.

- No!

- * I want you, I need you, oh, God *

- I think you are perfect. - * Don't take *

* These beautiful things that I've got *

* Please stay *

* I want you, I need you, oh, God *

- Ahh!

- * Don't take *

- [vocalizing]

* Please *

- You deserve it. Well done, guys.

Well done.

It was so frightening.

- Thank you so much. - So cool.

* *

- Good for them.

- Well done.

Well done, guys.

- * Just might lose it all *

* Please stay *

* I want you, I need you, oh God *

* Don't *

- The memories.

- Bravo.

- That was so good.

- Really, terrifyingly sexy.

- Cheers, guys.

- America, thank you.

[cheering]

- * Please stay *

- That's how it goes.

That was amazing.

- I was gonna do it.

That was my Golden Buzzer!

- Why didn't you get there earlier?

- I don't know, 'cause--

I don't know.

She did it out of nowhere.

She took it away.

- Yeah.

- * These beautiful things that I've got *

- You guys just witnessed a Golden Buzzer!

[cheering]

- Sofía is absolutely spitting mad.

- She should have done it.

- You know, there is a way of making it look

like this is my Golden Buzzer.

- No, there's no way. - Oh, yes there is.

- We're all witnesses.

- I just felt it in the moment.

- No, you didn't.

- I just felt it. - No, you didn't.

- You didn't see it.

- Go back to your room.

[cheers and applause]

- Yeah.

You want to give me some practice questions

so I'm expecting some?

- I'm doing fantastic.

I'm happy to be here again.

And it's just been, you know, really good to be back.

"America's Got Talent."

And you say I don't take you nowhere.

This is my home away from home.

- What is your name?

- My name is Alex Zinger.

I'm a financial advisor.

- What are you gonna do tonight?

- I'm gonna dance.

- I came to "America's Got Talent" Season 19,

and I showed them that I'm a true, passionate dancer.

[buzzer]

The response was very disappointing.

And that's when I knew I had to come back for redemption.

[Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"] Wow the crowd.

- How do you feel about your husband coming out here again?

* *

- He's uh--

- Speechless. - She's speechless.

- [laughs]

- She's speechless.

Masha, take a picture.

I've spent the last year perfecting my routine.

This time has to be different.

Season 20, it's bigger.

It's badder. It's bolder.

I started working out.

I started eating right.

I gave up pizza.

I'm not going to let you down this time.

We're gonna take the gold.

- I wish you had told me that you

were gonna Golden Buzzer it.

- I really didn't think you were gonna do it.

You were showing zero signs of it.

- You snooze, you lose.

- Well, there's more to come.

- I've been waiting for this my whole life.

- * Took my chances *

- This is the moment of truth.

I'm a pretty good dancer.

- I'm so happy, guys.

I'm so happy.

- That was incredible. - I know.

* *

- Let's do this thing.

- * The eye *

* Of the tiger * - Whoo.

[cheers and applause]

* *

- * The eye of the tiger *

- Hi, there.

Welcome to "AGT."

- Welcome to "AGT" yourself, Mel B.

- I know. I'm back.

Thank you. [laughter]

Well, I've been here before.

- So have I, last season.

I missed you. - Aw.

- I was looking everywhere. I couldn't find you.

- Aw, I'm here.

- Why don't you guys call each other and--

- I'm here now. [laughs]

- I'm here for you and you, everybody here.

[cheering]

- So what's your name again?

- Alex Zinger.

- Alex Zinger. What happened last year?

- I danced, Mel B. - Right.

- And I dazzled the crowd.

They were going bananas. They were standing.

They were jumping.

- No, they were running out.

[laughter]

- That's not accurate.

We have the footage, actually.

- But then I'm guessing you guys didn't like it?

- Well, they gave me constructive criticism.

A little harsh, but it was very constructive.

And I took it to heart.

And I became more of a performer than I've ever been.

- Alex, good luck. The stage is all yours.

- Good. Good luck.

- Thank you so much.

[cheers and applause]

[cheering]

- Whoa!

- OK.

- Wowzers.

[Haddaway's "What is Love"] - * What is love? *

* Baby, don't hurt me *

* Don't hurt me no more *

* *

* What is love? *

* *

* Yeah *

* I don't know why you're not there *

* I give you my love, but you don't care *

* What is right, what is wrong *

* Give me a sign *

* What is love? *

* Baby, don't hurt me *

* Don't hurt me no more *

* What is love? *

* Baby, don't hurt me *

* Don't hurt me no more *

[Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream"]

* *

- You've gotta be so proud.

* *

- * I dreamed a dream in time gone by *

- OK, Alex Zinger and--

- Alex Zinger and the Crew.

- Where'd you get the crew?

- Word of mouth out.

I put out the word that I'm looking for dancers.

They all wanted to meet everybody.

This is "AGT" 20 season.

[cheering]

- Did you choreograph that yourself?

- Well, we had some of the dancers--

we have Lisa here, who's a very talented choreographer.

- You don't even know which one's Lisa.

[laughter]

- Who choreographed your part?

- That's all me.

- No wonder.

[laughter]

I think the dancers were amazing.

- They were. - Thank you.

Thank you, Sofía.

- But I can't even remember you dancing.

I was looking at them.

[laughter]

What do you think?

- Well, I'll tell you what I think.

Sometimes we have people on who--

I'm going to be honest with you--

were good but boring.

You're bad but interesting.

Seriously.

That's the only way I can put it.

For me, I either like really good things

or things that I just find interesting,

and you are fascinating.

- Thank you. - You are.

- Thank you.

- The fact that you went to this much effort--

I tell you what.

You stand for every man who can't dance but wants to.

And that's a good thing.

[cheering]

- Absolutely.

- That's a good thing.

- OK, I think it's time to vote.

I didn't see you last year, but I think you put on a show.

And maybe I'm delusional, but I'm gonna say yes.

[cheering]

- Come on, Howie.

- It's a yes for me.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Sofía, what did you think?

- I don't know.

I want to say no.

[audience booing]

- Come on, Sofía.

- Let me ask a question.

Did you like it?

[cheering]

* *

- Come on, Sofía!

- [audience chanting] Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

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

- Thank you!

[cheering]

- Four yeses.

- * Still I dreamed he'd come to me *

* *

* That we would live the years together *

- Now he's crying.

- Thank you very much. Take care.

- Thank you. I love you.

Thank you.

- Just saying, he's good.

It was good.

* *

- * So different from this hell I'm living *

* So different now from what it seemed *

- What does this mean?

- It means that anything is possible.

It means if you put your mind and heart to anything,

you can accomplish anything you want.

This is one of the happiest days of my life.

- We have to say good night.

- What is going on with this show?

- That was good.

Those are my favorite days, Howie.

Good night, everyone. - Bye!

- * I dreamed *
