00:07:30,566 --> 00:07:31,966
-That's all.
-Always, I loved it.
175
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:34,800
[audience cheering]
176
00:07:34,866 --> 00:07:38,866
[Terry] America, give it up
for your semifinalists.
177
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:43,533
There are 11 acts up here,
but only five can go into the finals.
178
00:07:43,866 --> 00:07:46,133
This is gonna be one tough night for them,
179
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:48,566
and it's all down to how you voted.
180
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,333
First, meet the four people
who caused a lot of the cheering
181
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,966
and booing last night, the AGT judges.
182
00:07:57,233 --> 00:07:59,233
[audience cheering]
183
00:08:00,966 --> 00:08:03,100
Okay, first, as usual,
184
00:08:03,433 --> 00:08:07,033
you get the chance to save
one act in danger of getting sent home.
185
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:08,600
This is a big decision,
186
00:08:08,833 --> 00:08:11,600
'cause whoever you save
will be going into the finals.
187
00:08:11,733 --> 00:08:12,566
Here's the deal,
188
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:16,200
the top three acts in last night's vote
will go straight through.
189
00:08:16,566 --> 00:08:21,033
The next three acts in fourth, fifth,
and sixth all face being sent home.
190
00:08:21,366 --> 00:08:24,333
But one of them will be saved
with the Dunkin' Save vote.
191
00:08:24,866 --> 00:08:27,400
Here are the three acts in danger.
192
00:08:30,133 --> 00:08:31,966
Light Balance Kids.
193
00:08:32,233 --> 00:08:33,833
[audience groaning]
194
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:38,600
Ndlovu Youth Choir.
195
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,066
[audience groaning]
196
00:08:44,166 --> 00:08:45,700
And Robert Finley.
197
00:08:46,133 --> 00:08:48,233
[audience groaning]
198
00:08:49,933 --> 00:08:51,233
Please step forward.
199
00:08:52,366 --> 00:08:54,366
[suspenseful music playing]
200
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,633
[breathes deeply]
Simon, what's your reaction
201
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:08,300
to seeing these three in danger?
202
00:09:08,633 --> 00:09:11,466
Tough competition last night, Terry, um.
203
00:09:13,166 --> 00:09:14,766
I'm not gonna lie, I'm surprised.
204
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,633
But America controls the vote now.
205
00:09:20,566 --> 00:09:25,166
Okay, the Dunkin' Save result
will be coming up later, so, keep voting.
206
00:09:25,233 --> 00:09:26,466
It's all up to you.
207
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:31,100
On top of that,
AGT champion Darci Lynne will be here.
208
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:35,366
And so, will the sensational
Preacher Lawson.
209
00:09:36,633 --> 00:09:39,633
-[theme music playing]

210
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,133
[Terry] Welcome back to AGT,
the semifinal results.
211
00:09:44,566 --> 00:09:47,766
We have the Dunkin' Save vote
going on right now.
212
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:51,800
Remember, one of these acts
will go through to the finals.
213
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,866
Okay, there is so much at stake this week.
214
00:09:54,933 --> 00:09:58,266
There was a lot of tension,
nerves, anxiety
215
00:09:58,333 --> 00:10:00,466
and stress on the stage last night.
216
00:10:00,533 --> 00:10:03,900
But after the show,
the acts got to let it all out
217
00:10:03,966 --> 00:10:05,466
up in the Dunkin' Lounge.
218
00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:06,733
Check it out.
219
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,033

Messoudi Brothers.
226
00:10:27,633 --> 00:10:30,366
Simon actually took credit
for your performance.
227
00:10:30,433 --> 00:10:33,566
I think the advice I gave you last time
gave you the inspiration.
228
00:10:34,666 --> 00:10:35,866
Give me the donut.

230
00:10:39,866 --> 00:10:43,166

231

-[imitating Bobby] My name is Bobby.
-[Terry] Can you teach me how to do that?
232
00:10:46,433 --> 00:10:47,766
You gotta put your hand out.
233
00:10:47,833 --> 00:10:49,533
[imitating Bobby] Hello, my name is Bobby.

All right, let's get serious.
237
00:10:59,766 --> 00:11:01,633
The finals are in two weeks.
238
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:02,666
Make it through,
239
00:11:02,733 --> 00:11:07,400
and you're just one performance away
from winning $1 million.
240
00:11:08,066 --> 00:11:09,733
Let's see who's gonna be in that battle.
241
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:11,433
Here's the first result.
242
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,866
Kodi Lee.

Gabrielle, he's your golden buzzer,
and he's right on track. Talk to him.
264

Kodi, you are going to the finals
265
00:12:50,933 --> 00:12:54,366
for doing exactly what you were put

266

and that is be exactly who you are.

-You are a shining star.
-Thank you. [laughs]
268
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,366
Just do more, we've only seen
the tip of the iceberg of--
269
00:13:04,433 --> 00:13:05,266
Of your talent.
270
00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:07,700
You got this, kid. You got it.
271
00:13:08,466 --> 00:13:11,900
All right, Kodi,
we will see you in the finals.

275

Okay, imagine this:
276
00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:23,033
It's two years ago, it's the finale,
277
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:26,133
the top two acts
are waiting to hear who's won.
278
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,033
One of them ended up celebrating,
the other one, not so much.
279
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:31,933
Take a look.

You were saying how it felt
to be one of the runner-ups

00:13:41,466 --> 00:13:43,766
to the Season 12 AGT winner, Darci Lynne.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was great, man.
287
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,100
Now, didn't she beat you again
in AGT: Champions just this year?
288
00:13:52,166 --> 00:13:53,000
How did that feel?
289
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:57,866
I mean, Shin-- Shin Lim won.
You know, she got second place, you know.
290
00:13:57,933 --> 00:14:01,233
So, you're not upset about getting beat
by someone half your age?
291
00:14:02,233 --> 00:14:04,033
Can I get some water or something?
'Cause I--

-Yeah. I just-- Yeah.

No, I'm-- I'm-- I'm ready to order.
302
00:14:31,266 --> 00:14:32,966
I got to, you know, get across the street,
303
00:14:33,033 --> 00:14:35,933
you know,
for America's Got Talent rehearsal.
304
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,933
With Darci Lynne,
that amazing ventriloquist?
305
00:14:39,433 --> 00:14:41,033
-Yeah, I'll take vegan burger.

-She is so talented. Oh, my gosh.
-With fries.

Can you get me tickets to see her?

-I'm in a rush.
-Okay.

-No, no, no. No, get--

It's really me.

What are you doing here?
317
00:15:08,033 --> 00:15:11,500
Well, AGT called me and said
they might need someone to perform.
318
00:15:11,566 --> 00:15:12,866
[sighs] Yeah, me, too.
319
00:15:12,933 --> 00:15:15,800
Well, me and my family are bowling
up here if you want to catch up.
320
00:15:15,866 --> 00:15:17,966
I'll have my people
get in touch with your people.

-Preacher, did you see that?
-Yeah.
325
00:15:29,866 --> 00:15:31,233
That's four in a row.
326
00:15:31,866 --> 00:15:33,033
Woo!
327
00:15:35,566 --> 00:15:36,966
All right, Preacher, right this way.
328
00:15:37,033 --> 00:15:39,433
-What's this?
-This is your dressing room.
329
00:15:42,766 --> 00:15:44,166
This is my-- This is my room?
330
00:15:44,233 --> 00:15:46,233
You don't have a room
with, uh, less chemicals?

-Hi, Preacher.
-Hey.
334
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:09,966
-What are you doing?
-I was just checking the door.
335
00:16:10,033 --> 00:16:13,500
I was just-- Oh, okay, all right.
336
00:16:14,433 --> 00:16:16,766
Okay, let me see.
Okay, it's working, but--
337
00:16:16,833 --> 00:16:20,433
Okay, just got to check the hinge.
Maybe if it's-- Okay. Move a-- Okay.
338
00:16:22,833 --> 00:16:23,966
Yep, all right.
339
00:16:26,166 --> 00:16:27,633
I was just looking for the bathroom.
340
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:29,033
Do you want to use one of mine?
341
00:16:30,033 --> 00:16:32,900
It sounded like you said, "One of mine."
You said, "One of mine"? Multiple?
342
00:16:32,966 --> 00:16:34,333
You got--? You got a few of them?
343
00:16:35,033 --> 00:16:37,833
No. No, I'm-- I'm fine. I'm fine.
344
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,266
Okay, bye.
345
00:16:39,633 --> 00:16:40,933
Went the wrong way. This way.
346
00:16:42,333 --> 00:16:43,600
Who's that guy?
347
00:16:43,666 --> 00:16:46,733
[Terry & Howie laughing]
348
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,200
Yo, Terry, Howie.
349
00:16:48,266 --> 00:16:50,333
[Terry & Howie laughing]
350
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,300
Oh, my God, I'm crying.
I'm actually crying.
351
00:16:54,366 --> 00:16:57,900
-Who's funnier? Nobody.
-Makeup. I'm gonna need some makeup.
352
00:16:57,966 --> 00:16:58,900
[sighs]
353
00:16:58,966 --> 00:17:00,733
[laughing]
354
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,233
[laughing slowing down, echoing]
355
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:05,133
[joyful music playing]
356
00:17:06,666 --> 00:17:10,166
[slow motion] Amazing!
357
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:11,866
[Howie] Oh, my gosh.
358
00:17:11,933 --> 00:17:13,733
[laughing continues]
359
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,866
-Julianne?
-Oh, there you are.
360
00:17:15,933 --> 00:17:17,066
[chuckles] Julianne!
361
00:17:17,133 --> 00:17:18,833
-Hi!
-[Darci speaks indistinctly]
362
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:20,700
[Julianne] Oh, it is so good to see you.
363
00:17:20,766 --> 00:17:22,599
-Thank you.
-I cannot wait to see you perform.
364
00:17:22,666 --> 00:17:24,233
I'm so excited to be here.
365
00:17:24,300 --> 00:17:26,466
-I'm so excited.
-[Julianne] Oh, my gosh, I'm such a fan.
366
00:17:27,033 --> 00:17:28,066
-Hey, Preacher.
-Hey.
367
00:17:29,066 --> 00:17:31,533
-How you doing?
-I'm doing amazing.
368
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,900
Well, I just cannot wait
to perform with you tonight.
369
00:17:34,933 --> 00:17:35,900
Me neither.
370
00:17:35,966 --> 00:17:37,100
All right, see you there.
371
00:17:37,533 --> 00:17:39,133
All right, it's gonna be great.
372
00:17:40,433 --> 00:17:42,500
Preacher, do you need a minute?
373
00:17:43,733 --> 00:17:45,300
[audience laughing]
374
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:49,566
Two years ago on AGT,
375
00:17:49,633 --> 00:17:53,933
there was a performer who lit up the Dolby
every time he took the stage,
376
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,533
and he finished in the Top 5
of AGT's: The Champions.
377
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,333
People, make some noise
for Preacher Lawson.
378
00:18:02,566 --> 00:18:04,566
[audience cheering]
379
00:18:04,633 --> 00:18:06,633
["Juice" by Lizzo playing]
380
00:18:15,933 --> 00:18:18,933
Ooh. What? What's up?
381
00:18:19,666 --> 00:18:24,100
Yeah. Yeah! Yeah.
382
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:25,966
Thank you.
383
00:18:27,066 --> 00:18:30,666
I have this James Brown shirt,
I had to do some dancing. I had to do it.
384
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:32,733
Uh... So glad to be here.
385
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,633
If you recognize me,
386
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:38,266
you might recognize me off of Season 12
of America's Got Talent!
387
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:41,233
Yeah. All right.
388
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:43,766
Who voted for me, though?
Who voted for me? Where you at?
389
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:48,600
Yeah. All right, all right, yeah.
Not enough times!
390
00:18:48,666 --> 00:18:50,600
[audience laughs]
391
00:18:51,766 --> 00:18:54,800
Because I lost
to a 12-year-old ventriloquist, y'all.
392
00:18:54,866 --> 00:18:56,566
[audience laughs]
393
00:18:56,633 --> 00:18:59,400
She didn't open her mouth the whole time!
394
00:18:59,466 --> 00:19:01,133
[audience laughs]
395
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,133
You never know
what it feels like to lose $1 million
396
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,466
to somebody that still has chores,
you'll never know that feeling.
397
00:19:07,533 --> 00:19:08,366
[audience laughs]
398
00:19:08,433 --> 00:19:11,066
She believes in cooties now.
I can't stand Darci.
399
00:19:11,133 --> 00:19:15,500
I don't know why, Darci's an angel.
So was the devil, okay?
400
00:19:15,833 --> 00:19:20,133
She beat me. She's already a kid, she won.
All right?
401
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,133
When you're a kid,
naptime is a punishment, all right?
402
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,666
Could you imagine going into work late
and your boss is like,
403
00:19:25,733 --> 00:19:28,200
"Uh, you're late for work, go to bed."
404
00:19:29,733 --> 00:19:32,733
You'd be like, "For real? Because that's
actually why I was late, I was in bed.
405
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,833
You want me to go back?"
406
00:19:35,033 --> 00:19:37,866
Naptime's a punishment.
Who are you kidding? Naptime?
407
00:19:37,933 --> 00:19:40,866
There's no bills, you win $1 million,
408
00:19:40,933 --> 00:19:43,333
you know, it's just great being a kid,
all right?
409
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,900
When I was a kid,
my mom was strict though,
410
00:19:45,966 --> 00:19:47,866
she was real strict, all right?
411
00:19:47,933 --> 00:19:50,333
Real strict.
We couldn't celebrate Halloween
412
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,866
because it was the devil's birthday.
We couldn't watch Batman, right?
413
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,666
My mom used to wash our mouth out
with soap for saying cuss words
414
00:19:58,733 --> 00:19:59,933
in the house, right?
415
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,900
You know cuss words,
like "shut up," "dang it," you know?
416
00:20:05,233 --> 00:20:06,400
Not even cuss words.
417
00:20:06,466 --> 00:20:09,266
Let me say a cuss word, I wish
I would say a cuss word, all right?
418
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:13,000
I got three siblings, used to be four.
I am not crazy, all right?
419
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,733
That's an automatic beat down in my house.
420
00:20:16,133 --> 00:20:20,066
You don't have to be related to my mom
to get whupped for cussing on the house.
421
00:20:20,133 --> 00:20:23,100
My best friend growing up,
his name was Red, like the color.
422
00:20:23,166 --> 00:20:25,566
His name used to be Fred,
he cussed in front of my mom,
423
00:20:25,633 --> 00:20:30,800
she beat the F out of him. And then--
[chuckles]
424
00:20:30,866 --> 00:20:31,733
I replaced the letter.
425
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,733
My name is Preacher Lawson,
thank you so much, I love y'all,
426
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,633
I missed y'all.
I'm hugging all of you. Thank you.
427
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:41,666
[Terry] The great Preacher Lawson!
428
00:20:42,833 --> 00:20:46,100
Oh! My man.
429
00:20:46,166 --> 00:20:47,533
Good to see you, man.
430
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,166
Dude, this is one of the
funniest people in America right now.
431
00:20:51,233 --> 00:20:53,133
How is life going for you right now?
432
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,233
My life is amazing, it's amazing,
it's because of all of you.
433
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:58,866
Thank you so much, you have no idea
how much you changed my life.
434
00:20:58,933 --> 00:21:02,100
It's great. I'm great. I'm happy, yes.
435
00:21:02,166 --> 00:21:04,166
[audience cheering]
436
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:06,933
Oh, standing O.
437
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:11,500
Okay, heads up football fans,
438
00:21:11,566 --> 00:21:15,866
AGT magician and ex-NFL star Jon Dorenbos
439
00:21:15,933 --> 00:21:18,233
went to spread some love it the LA Rams.
440
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:19,433
Check it out.
441
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:20,566
[rock music playing]
442
00:21:20,633 --> 00:21:22,566
[Jon] The Los Angeles Rams
have been so kind enough
443
00:21:22,633 --> 00:21:24,466
to actually invite us here
at training camp,
444
00:21:24,533 --> 00:21:26,366
and it's a trip to actually watch this
445
00:21:26,766 --> 00:21:29,366
knowing that I was in these guys' shoes
for 14 years.
446
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,366
[laughs] These dudes are huge.
447
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,666
One of the things I'm most proud of
in my career
448
00:21:34,733 --> 00:21:37,933
is I have transitioned out of the NFL
and I've been able to show the world
449
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,833
that it's not just a bunch of meatheads
running around hitting each other.
450
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:43,566
There's a lot of guys I played with
that are finance gurus,
451
00:21:43,633 --> 00:21:45,766
that are some of
the best musicians I've ever heard.
452
00:21:45,833 --> 00:21:47,866
-Me and Jared, right there.
-That is good.
453
00:21:47,933 --> 00:21:50,400
There's guys that write children's books.
Look at Terry Crews.
454
00:21:50,466 --> 00:21:52,666
So you guys can see this at home,
we got a deck of cards
455
00:21:52,733 --> 00:21:54,100
and it's got every team logo.
456
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:56,700
All I want you to do--
I'm gonna riffle, and all I want you to do
457
00:21:56,766 --> 00:21:58,066
-is yell out the word stop.
-Stop.
458
00:21:58,133 --> 00:22:00,800
All right, take it.
Don't look at it yet, just hold onto it.
459
00:22:00,866 --> 00:22:03,766
All right, you got it? My man, you ready?
All you're gonna do is say stop.
460
00:22:03,833 --> 00:22:05,366
-Stop.
-Okay, take it.
461
00:22:05,433 --> 00:22:07,000
Don't look at it yet, just hold onto it.
462
00:22:07,066 --> 00:22:09,600
-My man, you ready? Just say stop.
-Stop.
463
00:22:09,666 --> 00:22:12,233
Okay, right here?
Don't look at it, hold onto it.
464
00:22:12,666 --> 00:22:14,866
You guys each have a team.
Here's what I'm hoping,
465
00:22:14,966 --> 00:22:17,300
that whatever team you picked
I'm gonna predict this.
466
00:22:17,866 --> 00:22:20,166
What team did you pick?
Let's see it, show the camera.
467
00:22:20,933 --> 00:22:23,666
We got the Green Bay Packers.
Hey, stand up real quick, come over here.
468
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,066
You've been sitting
on this barstool the whole time,
469
00:22:26,133 --> 00:22:28,000
I thought I'd make a prediction,
and guess what,
470
00:22:28,066 --> 00:22:30,633
we got a barstool right here
with the Green Bay Packers.
471
00:22:31,233 --> 00:22:32,166
What team did you pick?
472
00:22:33,866 --> 00:22:36,766
Ooh, Chicago Bears.
Stand up, my man, come over here.
473
00:22:36,966 --> 00:22:39,566
I thought we'd make a little prediction,
and sure enough,
474
00:22:39,633 --> 00:22:41,733
I got a barstool
with the Chicago Bears right there.
475
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,933
Now hold up, what team did you pick?
476
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,833
No team.
477
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:46,066
What?
478
00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:47,000
No team, Joe.
479
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,966
It's blank, are you serious?
480
00:22:50,266 --> 00:22:53,066
The one card I had in there blank,
you picked it. Okay, um...
481
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,733
Actually if you think about it this is
the team I currently play for. Nobody.
482
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,633
Get it?
483
00:22:57,700 --> 00:22:59,800
I tell you what, just stand up.
484
00:22:59,866 --> 00:23:03,666
So I guess if there's a team
that's nothing,
485
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:07,433
I guess then that means
I have nothing, so as predicted,
486
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,533
ladies and gentlemen, there is your team,
487
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,966
there is nothing right there.
488
00:23:11,033 --> 00:23:12,366
Boom, boom, gone.
489
00:23:12,433 --> 00:23:14,233
Yo, what's up? I'm Jon Dorenbos, baby,
490
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:16,433
we here with the LA Rams
at the practice facility.
491
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:17,500
This has been sick.
492
00:23:17,566 --> 00:23:19,366
If you wanna be
on America's Got Talent, man,
493
00:23:19,433 --> 00:23:22,133
take a chance on yourself
and let it roll, baby. Peace out.
494
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,266
Thank you, Rams.
495
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,833
[audience cheering]
496
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:28,900
Big thanks to Jon Dorenbos.
497
00:23:28,966 --> 00:23:32,200
Hey, Simon, catch! You ready?
498
00:23:32,266 --> 00:23:35,133
-Are you serious?
-[Terry] You-- You ready? Okay.
499
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,700
Look-- Okay, you know what? There you go.
500
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:40,766
Listen, I'm not killing my boss,
I just got this job.
501
00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:43,300
[chuckles] Okay,
502
00:23:43,366 --> 00:23:47,266
here's one of the greatest champions
the show has ever had.
503
00:23:47,333 --> 00:23:50,533
She won AGT
when she was just 12 years old,
504
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,466
and that was only two years ago.
505
00:23:52,533 --> 00:23:55,366
Tonight she's here
with her friend Petunia.
506
00:23:55,433 --> 00:23:59,766
Please welcome back
the sensational Darci Lynne.
507
00:23:59,833 --> 00:24:02,766
[audience cheering]
508
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:10,566
Hi. I'm back. Did you miss me?
509
00:24:10,633 --> 00:24:14,433
You know what, I'm back
and I have the one name star status now.
510
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:15,466
One name star?

Gabrielle, who do you wanna
put through to the finals?
702
00:36:27,033 --> 00:36:29,133
[audience shouting]
703
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,700
Ndlovu Youth Choir,
you are the pride of the world.
704
00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:40,366
Mr. Finley, both of you acts are
an epitome of overcoming adversity,
705
00:36:40,833 --> 00:36:44,866
dreams not only deferred
but destined to happen,
706
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,200
but I can only choose one.
707
00:36:48,266 --> 00:36:49,333
I love you both.
708
00:36:50,433 --> 00:36:52,666
Ndlovu Youth Choir. [whimpers]
709
00:36:52,733 --> 00:36:56,100
[Terry] Ndlovu Youth Choir, one vote.

00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:57,433
Julianne.
711
00:36:57,500 --> 00:36:59,366
-[Gabrielle sighs]
-[Julianne] Whoo!
712
00:36:59,766 --> 00:37:02,966
Uh, Robert,
I didn't get to speak last night,
713
00:37:03,033 --> 00:37:05,766
but I just wanted to say
that I wanted to be, like,
714
00:37:06,066 --> 00:37:11,233
with a bottle of wine on the grass
just hanging out with my love,
715
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:15,733
because what you do is just bring soul
and wisdom and everything
716
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,900
to what music should be.
717
00:37:17,966 --> 00:37:19,466
So I love that.
718
00:37:19,533 --> 00:37:21,333
-[suspenseful music playing]

719
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:26,733
Ndlovu Youth Choir,
you represent global inclusion
720
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,700
and freedom of love
and celebration and joy,
721
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:36,866
and I'm going to have to go
with Ndlovu Youth Choir.
722
00:37:36,933 --> 00:37:39,833
[Terry] Two votes. Howie.
723
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:42,333
[Howie] Yeah, this is really hard for me.
724
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,766
Ndlovu Youth Choir, you are great,
you opened up a world, you're beautiful.
725
00:37:46,833 --> 00:37:50,500
Robert Finley,
you schooled me on the blues.
726
00:37:50,566 --> 00:37:53,533
I gotta say this is about dreams.
I want your dream to come true. Robert.
727
00:37:53,900 --> 00:37:56,666
[Terry] One vote for Robert. Simon. Simon.
728
00:37:56,733 --> 00:37:58,600
[audience cheers]
729
00:37:58,666 --> 00:37:59,566
Ten seconds.
730
00:37:59,633 --> 00:38:05,466
Uh, I'm going to make this very simple,
based on who I believe...
731
00:38:07,433 --> 00:38:11,600
Based on last night,
who deserve a place in the final,
732
00:38:11,666 --> 00:38:16,333
that place is going to the Youth Choir.
733
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,900
[Terry]
Ndlovu Youth Choir! Congratulations!
734
00:38:19,966 --> 00:38:22,666
I'm so sorry, Robert Finley,
you've been great.
735
00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:25,566
I'm Terry Crews. Good night, America!
