WE START THIS FINAL WITH A POWERHOUSE PERFORMER WHO IS
SINGING FOR TWO FUTURES TONIGHT. SHE BEGAN DREAMING THE LIFE SHE
WANTED A LONG TIME AGO. FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS, HERE IS
JESSICA SANCHEZ. 20 YEARS AGO THAT GIRL HAD NO
IDEA WE WOULD BE HERE NINE MONTHS PREGNANT.
BEING ELIMINATED, I WAS DEVASTA
DEVASTATED. I WAS SO READY TO BE A STAR.
I STRUGGLED IN THE INDUSTRY, CHASING AFTER THE BIG DREAM.
I FELT DEFEATED FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME.
I QUIT MUSIC. I SPENT TIME WITH FAMILY AND MY
HUSBAND. THAT REALLY HELPED ME TO KNOW
WHO I AM. I WAS LIKE, OKAY, I THINK I'M
READY. I WANT TO GIVE THE DREAM ONE
MORE SHOT. THEN FOUR OR FIVE DAYS LATER I
FOUND OUT I'M PREGNANT. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
I TOLD MYSELF, I WANTED TO DO THIS.
YOU CAN DO IT. I'M REALLY HAPPY I GOT ON THAT
STAGE AND I GAVE IT EVERYTHING I GOT.
THAT WAS SPECTACULAR. THIS IS SOMETHING
SPECIAL ABOUT YOU. I'M ABOUT TO STEP ON THE FINALE
STAGE. MY BABY GIRL WILL BE THERE WITH
ME. WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN?
I FEEL LIKE SHE'S KICKING THE
I'M REALLY SHARING THE STAGE WITH MY DAUGHTER.
I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET HER AND HOPEFULLY SAY TO HER, WE WON
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" SEASON 20 TOGETHER.
SO FUNNY, BECAUSE SHE'S KICKING RIGHT NOW.
SHE'S GOING TO BE HERE IN NO TIME.
JESSICA GETS HER SHOT

YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WAS SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR 20th
ANNIVERSARY THAT YOU CAME BACK TO SHOW THAT EVEN IF YOU DON'T
WIN THE FIRST TIME, YOU'VE GOT TO ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
I THINK THAT WAS-- THAT WAS ACTUALLY A BEAUTIFUL
ARRANGEMENT. I THOUGHT YOU SOUNDED AMAZING.
SERIOUSLY. AMAZING.
IT WAS, I THINK, THE BEST PERFORMANCE WE HEARD FROM YOU SO
FAR.

JESSICA. HERE WE GO.
IT'S TIME TO START PICKING A CHAMPION.

FEAST FOR THE SENSES. IT'S MUSIC, TECHNOLOGY, DANCE
AND INCREDIBLE IMAGINATION. HERE IS LIGHTWIRE.
WE WERE HOPING TO SHOW THE WORLD OUR TALENT AND OUR ART.
WE WANT TO GET BETTER AND
BETTER AND BETTER. OUR LAST PERFORMANCE, WE HAD
PROBLEMS. MY COSTUME DIDN'T LIGHT UP.
I WAS IN THE DARK. ALL I CAN THINK WAS, YOU HAVE TO
KEEP MOVING. THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
IT WAS LIKE A PUNCH IN THE STOMACH.
WE WERE SO NERVOUS THINKING, ARE WE GOING THROUGH?
LIVEWIRE! THANK YOU, AMERICA.
NOW THE PRESSURE IS SO HIGH. WE ARE COMPETING WITH THE BEST.
LIVEWIRE! SIMON, YOU ARE ON YOUR FEET.
YOU LOVED THAT. WOW.
WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW.
OKAY. YOU KNOW, GENUINELY, I ACTUALLY
GOT EMOTIONAL WATCHING THAT. YOUR MESSAGE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
GENUINELY.
IT MADE ME REMEMBER THAT AN ACT LIKE THIS, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T
SEE YOU DURING THE PERFORMANCE, IT IS A BUNCH OF REALLY TALENTED
PEOPLE WHO CAME UP WITH A BRILLIANT IDEA, WHICH IS
EXECUTED BY A BUNCH OF BRILLIANTLY TALENTED PEOPLE.
I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF TALKING TO YOU BEHIND THE
SCENES. YOU ARE JUST REALLY NICE PEOPLE.
THAT, HONESTLY, DESERVED, I BELIEVE, TO WIN.
SOFIA?
I AM IN SHOCK YOU GUYS WERE ABLE TO PULL THIS OFF, WHAT
YOU DID TONIGHT IN JUST ONE WEEK.
I THINK THIS IS YOUR BEST ACT TODAY.
CONGRATULATIONS.
I MEAN, YOU ARE GUYS REALLY DESERVE TO BE HERE AND FOR
AMERICA TO VOTE FOR YOU. MEL B.
Mel B.: I HAVE TO SAY, IT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO LAST WEEK.
BUT I DON'T MIND THAT. BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT YOU DO IS
SUPER INTENSE AND SUPER CREATIVE.
I KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING. WHAT?
Mel B.: THE DOE TAETAILED STUFF THEY DO.
WE WILL GET OUT OUR DICTIONARY.
Mel B.: IT'S COMPLEX AND OUT OF THIS WORLD.
I THANK YOU. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
EVERYBODY. IF YOU THINK LIGHTWIRE DESERVES
TO WIN, VOTE FOR THEM. YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO IT,
SO GET BUSY. VOTING WILL STAY OPEN ‘TIL 7AM
EASTERN TOMORROW. AFTER THE BREAK, A SINGER AND
RAPPER WHO BELIEVES SO STRONGLY IN HERSELF. BUT CAN SHE WIN?
DON'T SHE'S ON THE VERGE OF
IN THE QUARTER-FINALS,
MEL B GAVE THIS ACT HER LIVE GOLDEN BUZZER.
AND IT'S EASY TO SEE WHY. SHE'S A SONGWRITER, A SINGER AND
A RAPPER AND TRUST ME, ONCE YOU'VE SEEN HER PERFORM, YOU
WILL NEVER FORGET HER. FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS, HERE'S MAMA
DUKE. ♪
GROWING UP, I WANTED TO FIT IN.
TO BE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. I'M NOT THAT.
I COULD NEVER BE THAT. IT'S HARD TO BE A DREAMER.
I'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE WRITING RAP ON MY LUNCH BREAK.
SOMETIMES YOU NEED THAT EXTRA PERMISSION TO BE WHO I AM.
LOOK AT THAT. GETTING THE GOLDEN BUZZER FROM
MEL B. WAS A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT. WITH A LITTLE GIRL WITH CRAZY
HAIR, I WOULD PRETEND TO BE HERE.
SHE GAVE ME PERMISSION TO BE LIKE, I CAN DO THIS.
I NEED THAT. TRULY, TRULY, WE ALL KNOW NOW
TWO MINUTES CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
I GET TO SHOW YOU ONE LAST ORIGINAL SONG.
IT'S TIME TO GET UP. IT'S TIME TO MOVE AROUND.
THE BIG QUESTION IS, WHAT IS A MILLION DOLLAR SONG?
I'M WRITING LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, BECAUSE IT DOES.
EXPERIMENTS, TRYING, THROWING AWAY.
I HAVE PROBABLY WRITTEN AND RE-WRITTEN THIS 100 TIMES.
BUT I HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT. BEING IN THE TOP TEN WITH THE
POWERHOUSES, IT'S INTIMIDATING. WE'RE GOING OUT WITH A BANG.
WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO? WE GO BACK TOMORROW.
TODAY, TODAY, I GET TO BE HER. SHE'S SHOW TIME.

FRONT ROW TICKETS TO YOUR CONCERT.
YOU ARE REAL. YOU ARE HONEST.
YOU DESCRIBE THE STRUGGLE. YOU GIVE PROMISE.
I JUST-- I ADORE YOUR HEART AND SOUL.
AND YOUR REALNESS. YOU ARE FIRE TO ME.
THANK YOU.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLY AUTHENTIC AND LIKEABLE.
I THINK EVERYBODY CAN RELATE TO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
TO COME UP WITH LYRICS EVERY WYCHE LI
WEEK, LIKE MEL WAS SAYING, IT'S ENTINTRICA
INTRICATE. WHAT I LOVE IS YOU ARE
UNIQUE. OBVIOUSLY, THE PEOPLE ARE LOVING
YOU.
SIMON. WHAT CAN I SAY?
WE HAVE GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER. I REALLY LIKE YOU A LOT.
I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR YOU,
WHICH IS YOU JUST-- YOU NEVER COMPROMISE YOURSELF.
YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE YOUR OWN MATERIAL.
THAT IN ITSELF IS A LOT OF
RESPECT. I HAVE A FEELING THAT WHATEVER
HAPPENS, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE LAUNCH PAD FOR WHATEVER YOU
REALLY WANT. THANK YOU.
I NEED THAT. THANK YOU.
WHEN IT WENT VIRAL,
THE AUDIENCE LOVES YOU. I GET IT.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, MAMA DUKE.
YOU KNOW HOW TO VOTE, SO VOTE. MAMA DUKE'S DREAM IS ON THE LINE
TONIGHT, AND YOU CAN MAKE IT COME TRUE.
IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES, ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS AND MOST
BEAUTIFUL ACTS WE'VE EVER SEEN. IT'S AERIALISTS SIRCA MAREA,
WHEN WE COME BACK.
THESE TWO PERFORMERS HAVE TOTAL TRUST IN EACH OTHER.
THEY HAVE TO, BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ON THE LINE, THEIR DREAMS,
THEIR FUTURES, THEIR LIVES. THE JUDGES HAVE CALLED THEM THE
BEST AERIAL ACT WE'VE EVER SEEN ON "AGT."
HERE'S SIRCA MAREA. SIMON ASK US--
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD?
NEVER ASK ME SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I'M NOT SURE OF THE ANSWER. BEST I HAD THAT FEELING LIKE, I
DON'T KNOW. I WANT TO BE.
NOW WE GO TO THE FINALS. MAYBE WE ARE.
WE WERE THE CRAZY ONES IN OUR FAMILY.
WE ARE STILL. IT'S REALLY HARD, THE LIFE OF A
PERFORMER. WE TRAVEL A LOT.
MAYBE SOMETIMES WE TRAIN IN PLACE.
WE WORK HARD FOR MANY YEARS TO MAKE IT.
YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU SAY, WOW, WE START FROM NOTHING.
NOW WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO WIN THE BIGGEST COMPETITION IN THE
WORLD. IT'S LIKE, BRAVO FOR OURSELVES.

IF I HAD TO BE A LITTLE CRITICAL, IT WAS A LITTLE
REPETITIVE. THE MOST AMAZING THING IS THE
BLINDFOLD. I WOULD CLOSE WITH THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT? AMERICA IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE
THAT CHOICE. MEL B.?
Mel B.: I COMPLETELY DISAGREE.
CAN I JUST SAY, THAT WAS SEAMLESS?
ABSOLUTELY SEAMLESS.
I FELT LIKE MY EYES AND MY TONGUE WERE IN MY BELLY.
I WAS JUST-- EVERYTHING WAS SHAKING.
IT WAS BRILLIANT. ARE
ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOUR LEGS OKAY ?N
YES. SOFIA?
YOU GUYS GET BETTER AND BETTER.
I THOUGHT LAST WEEK YOU HAD REACHED YOUR PEAK.
NO. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
Mel B.: IT WAS. SIMON.
YOU WERE ON YOUR FEET. I WAS ON MY FEET.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU. YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH OF A
STORY. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOU.
Mel B.: THEY ARE IN THE CAFE. YOU ARE VERY HUMBLE.
WITH YOU, IT'S JUST ABOUT THE TALENT.
Mel B.: MAGICAL.
THAT WAS, SERIOUSLY, HONESTLY, GENUINELY-- I HAVE
SEEN THESE ACTS BEFORE. THAT WAS THE BEST GENUINELY I
HAVE EVER SEEN, EVER. AND YOU ARE REALLY PUSHING
YOURSELVES. I MEAN, THAT WAS LIKE AN 11 OUT

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT. LISTEN, ONLY ONE ACT CAN BE THE
WINNER, AND YOUR VOTES WILL DECIDE WHO IT IS.
SO VOTE, VOTE AND VOTE AGAIN FOR YOUR FAVORITES.
WORLD CUP?
GOLD. Mel B.: CHRIS TURNER.
I WAS LOOKING FOR AN
ACT THAT COULD WIN THIS WHOLE
HEY MICAH, HOW'S IT
GOING? I'M GOOD.
IT'S THE FINALS. YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE PERFORMANCE
OF YOUR LIFE. GO OUT THERE AND GIVE THE
PEOPLE A GOOD PERFORMANCE. MICAH WAS PUT INTO THE
FINAL BY SIMON'S GOLDEN BUZZER. HE HAS TO WOW THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
HERE IS MORE ON MICAH PALACE. CHASING YOUR DREAMS IS NOT
EASY. PEOPLE GIVE UP RIGHT BEFORE THEY
GET TO THAT CHANGING MOMENT. TWO YEARS AGO, I FELT A LITTLE
DISCOURAGES. MY FRIENDS WERE GOING TO SCHOOL.
PURSUING THESE CAREERS. FOR ME, I WAS JUST BEING KIND OF
DOWN AND FRUSTRATED. THIS IS NEVER GOING TO WORK OUT.
IT'S THE SAME THING EVERY TIME. YOUR MUSIC IS SO DOPE.
WE LOVE YOUR VIBE. IT'S NOT FULLY ENGLISH.
IT'S NOT FULLY SPANISH. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT IT.
MY MOM ALWAYS SUPPORTED ME. VERY SPECIFICALLY, I REMEMBER
ONE DAY, SHE WROTE ME THIS LETTER.
SHE LETTER IT ON MY NIGHTSTAND.
WHEN PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU TELL
YOU THEY ARE PROUD, THOSE ARE THE MOMENTS YOU FOREVER
REMEMBER, BECAUSE WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE PROUD OF YOU, THEY
REALLY MEAN IT. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THERE'S A
PLACE FOR MY MUSIC SOMEWHERE. AGT HAS GIVEN ME AN OPPORTUNITY
TO SHOW THAT. I'M SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO
WRITE HER A LETTER AND BE LIKE, LOOK, MOM, WE MADE IT.
I'M THE HOTTEST THING IN
SPANGLISH. OKAY.
I'M THE HOTTEST THING IN SPANGLISH.

EVERYBODY. THE CREW, THE PEOPLE THAT DRESS
YOU, BECAUSE IT'S NOT-- YOU WILL MEET THEM ON THE WAY BACK

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? FOR ME, THIS WASN'T AS
GOOD AS YOUR LAST TWO.

IT'S THE LEO HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR,
THE AMAZING CONNECTION BETWEEN THIS CHOIR OF YOUNG MEN

HERE'S THE LEO HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR.
THE ACT TAKING THE LAST SPOT IN THE SEASON FINAL IS-- LEO HIGH
SCHOOL CHOICE! IN THAT MOMENT I WAS THINKING
ABOUT ALL THE HARD WORK WE PUT IN TO GET HERE.
I LOOK BACK AND I WAS LIKE, WOW, WE CAME A LONG WAY.
COMING INTO THE AUDITION, I FELT WE WERE UNDERDOGS.
THEY NEVER HAD MUSIC EXPERIENCE.
I TAKE WHOEVER DESIRES TO SING. A LOT OF KIDS IN CHICAGO
STRUGGLE WITH THINGS. A LOT OF KIDS DON'T GROW UP WITH
THEIR PARENTS. ME PERSONALLY, I LOST MY MOM
WHEN I WAS 11. CHOIR IS WHAT MADE ME WANT TO
COME TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. WHATEVER I BE GOING THROUGH,
EVERY TIME I PROJECT MY CHOICE, THE MUSIC, IT WAS ALWAYS A
CHANGE IN MY MOOD. YOU DESERVE THIS.
BECAUSE OF YOUR TALTALENT, YOUR FRIENDSHIP.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.
WE ARE STEPPING AWAY FROM THIS MOMENT.
A LOT OF US ARE GOING TO COLLEGE.
WE JOINED THIS AS HIGH SCHOOL BOYS.
WE ARE LEAVING IT AS MEN READY TO GO OUT INTO THE WORLD.

PEOPLE WHEN YOU PERFORM. YOU JUST HAVE THIS ABILITY TO
MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GREAT. I HAVE ALWAYS SAID, AN AMAZING
MENTOR. YOU HAVE SO MUCH TALENT.
HOWIE.
YOU ARE THE KIPG KINGS OF SAYING, DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY A

THERE'S A VIBE.
A WINNING, WONDERFUL VIBE. I WOULD BUY TICKETS.
YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR THEM. SOFIA.
YOU ARE THE COOLEST CHOICE THAT HAS EVER BEEN HERE

NIGHT FOR ALL OF YOU. THAT WAS AMAZING.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, EVERYBODY.
YOU KNOW HOW TO VOTE, SO GET BUSY.
THEIR DREAM IS ON THE LINE TONIGHT, HELP MAKE IT COME TRUE.
OK, THE FASTEST MIND IN THE WEST IS COMING UP NEXT.
IT'S OUR IMPROV RAPPER, AND HE'S SETTING HIMSELF A REALLY HIGH
BAR TONIGHT. FIND OUT IF CHRIS TURNER CAN
STEP IT UP ONE MORE TIME, WHEN WE COME BACK.
LAST TIME OUT, SIMON COWELL COULD NOT STOP
LAUGHING AT THIS IMPROV RAPPER'S PERFORMANCE IN THE SEMI-FINAL.
CAN HE GO ON AND RAP HIS WAY TO THE TITLE?
HERE'S CHRIS TURNER. LIFE IS ABOUT THE DECISIONS
YOU MAKE AND THE PATH THAT YOU CHOOSE.
EVERY DECISION OPENS A DIFFERENT DOOR.
I WENT TO UNIVERSITY. GOT MY DEGREE IN ARCHAEOLOGY AND
ANTHROPOLOGY. I WAS GOING TO GET A JOB IN
WHATEVER THAT LED TO. I DECIDED NOT TO.
I DECIDED THAT I LOVE PERFORMING SO MUCH.
MY FAMILY WERE LIKE, THAT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA.
THAT'S A MASSIVE RISK. RIPE AND JUICY.
MY THIRD GIG, I WAS 19. I WAS SILENT ON STAGE.
200 PEOPLE NOT MAKING A SOUND UNTIL I LEFT.
WE GOT TAMPONS AND THAT STOPPED THE FLOW.
MEL B. GOT A ROOM OF PEOPLE TO CHANT MY NAME.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLY HARD. EVERY ROUND I THOUGHT MAYBE I
COULD PLAY A LITTLE SAFE. WE COULD GO SLOWER.
TAKE FEWER SUGGESTIONS. EVERY TIME YOU HAVE THAT
THOUGHT, YOU HAVE TO GO, NO. TAKE THE RISK.
I HAVE TO BELIEVE I CAN DO IT. WITHOUT THE CONFIDENCE I HAVE
GAINED FROM THIS PROCESS, I WOULD NEVER ATTEMPT WHAT I'M
DOING IN THE FINAL. I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN.
YOU WILL KNOW IF I'M HAPPY, BECAUSE I WILL DROP THE MIC.
THEY TOLD ME I'M NOT ALLOWED TO, BUT YOU CAN'T STOP ME.
MY GOSH, LET'S HAVE FUN TONIGHT.
FROM YOU, YOU SEE ME DO THIS. BE CREATIVE.
BE CHALLENGING. HOWIE, YOU GO FIRST.
THIS WEEK YOU DON'T NEED A TAMPON.
NO TAMPONS THIS WEEK. MEL IS APPALLED.
MEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE? Mel B.: A SUNDAY DINNER, BUT
IT'S IN MY FANNY PACK. A SUNDAY DINNER IN YOUR FANNY
PACK. FOR THESE LOVELY AMERICANS.
SOFIA?
THAT TRANSLATES AS?
STRENGTH AND POWER TO LATIN PEOPLE?
FANTASTIC. SIMON?
A BABY ELEPHANT SO THAT SHE CAN PLAY BONGO WITH A
BANANA. A BABY HE WIELEPHANT.
FANTASTIC. SUGGESTIONS FROM THE JUDGES.
NOW WE HAVE 3,000 SUGGESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE.
I WILL ASK YOU TO TAKE YOUR PICK.
ONE SUGGESTION FROM EACH JUDGE. GRAB A SUGGESTION AND BRING IT
BACK. YOU ARE PICKING.
PICK FROM THE CROWD. PICK WHATEVER YOU WANT.
MAYBE SOMEONE GRAB ONE FOR SOFIA AS WELL.

THIS SINGER FROM THE BIG EASY HAS HAD A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE ON
THE SHOW, FOR SURE, BUT NOW THE WIN IS IN SIGHT.
HERE'S JOURDAN BLUE. ♪
I FEEL LIKE I'M ALMOST A DIFFERENT PERSON FROM THE GUY
THAT WALKED ON THAT STAGE FOR THE FIRST AUDITION.
GROWING UP, MY MOM WAS A COP. MY DAD WAS A LAWYER.
NATURALLY, I WAS A REBEL. I ENDED UP LIVING WITH MY
GRANDPA. I KNEW THERE WAS MORE OUT THERE.
I KNEW THERE WAS MORE THAN JUST A BUNCH OF DRUNK PEOPLE ON
BOURBON STREET. MY HARD WORK PAID OFF.
MY DREAMS STARTING TO COME TRUE. YOU KNOW?
I STILL THINK ABOUT THAT. WHEN I'M SINGING ON THE STREET,
IT'S NOT JUST SINGING MY FAVORITE SONGS.
I'M ANALYZING WHO IS WALKING BY AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
THEY MIGHT WANT TO HEAR. I THINK YOU ARE
PLAYING IT SAFE RIGHT NOW. DO SOMETHING UNEXPECTED.
JOURDAN BLUE. HE DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HER
AND HERE AND GO BACK TO STREET
PERFORMING. I'M ONE PERFORMANCE AWAY FROM
WIN THE WHOLE THING. THAT WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.
JUST THROUGH THIS JOURNEY AND GETTING MY LIFE BACK ON TRACK
HAS HELPED REKINDLE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY PARENTS.
THEY ARE-- THEY WILL BE HERE FOR THE FINALS.
I WANT TO TAKE THIS HOME FOR THEM.
I WANT THEM TO BE HERE WITH ME TO SOAK IT ALL IN AND TO HAVE
THIS MOMENT.

MADE YOU PROUD. IT'S OVER.
YOU HAVE A GREAT VOICE.
YOU ARE A GREAT TALENT. THAT'S THE HOTTEST SONG IN THE
WORLD RIGHT NOW. YOU COULDN'T MAKE A BETTER
CHOICE. YOU COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT
BETTER. I BELIEVE YOU WON!
OKAY.
SIMON. SORRY.
JOURDAN, I THINK WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO SING
SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SINCE YOUR FIRST AUDITION.
SERIOUSLY.
THAT WAS A VERY, VERY SMART SONG CHOICE.
IT'S THE BIGGEST SONG THIS YEAR. THAT, I WOULD SAY, HAS GIVEN
YOU-- NOW I'M SAYING, YOU COULD WIN.
MEL B. Mel B.: CAN I JUST SAY, I
HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE YOU LIKE THIS?
I JUST SAID THIS. Mel B.: I SAID IT BETTER.
I SAW YOU ON THE GREAT AUDITION. YOU HAD THE GRIT AND PASSION.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. YOU JUST FREAKING GAVE IT TO ME.
FULL AND DIRECT. BY THE WAY, ME AND MY FRIEND
RYAN, WE LOVE THE MAN BUN. YOU ARE STYLING FROM TOP TO
BOTTOM. YOU SOUND INCREDIBLE.
SOFIA. YOU TOOK THE RISK.
IT PAID OFF. IT WAS SPECTACULAR.
YOU ARE SO HANDSOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THEY SAID LAST TIME YOU PLAYED, DO YOU THINK YOU
TOOK THE RISK TO WIN THIS THING? YOU HEARD IT HERE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE YOU.

SUPERSTARS AND CHAMPIONS. IT STARTS AT 9:00 P.M.
BACK TO THE TIGBATTLE FOR THE TITLE.
THEY ALL MOVE WITH ONE MIND AND ONE HEART.
HERE IS TEAM RECYCLE. TRAVELING TO THE U.S. BEFORE
THE AUDITION, HAVING THESE TEAM JACKETS ON, IT FELT LIKE WE WERE
GOING TO THE OLYMPICS. AS A DANCE TROUPE, TO BE ON AGT
IS THE HIGHEST GOAL YOU CAN ACHIEVE.
THAT DESERVES A BOW. 4,000 YESES.
DANCING ALLOWED ME TO BE MYSELF AND TO BE SOMEONE.
I HAD IDEAS. I HAD VISIONS.
I CAN LIVE THEM THROUGH MY DANCING.
I'M PASSING IT TO THE NEXT GENERATION.
I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ACT THAT COULD WIN THIS WHOLE
THING.
THIS IS WHY WE DO THIS. I FEEL LIKE A FATHER PROUD OF
HIS CHILDREN. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FROM
ALL OF US. WORDS COULD NEVER EXPLAIN
WHAT YOU MEAN TO THE TEAM. YOUR SUPERPOWER IS TO MAKE
PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE DOES.
YOU CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE. WE CAN SEE THAT.
YOUR COMPASSION, YOUR HUMOR. NEVER KNEW WHAT IT MEANS TO
HAVE A FAMILY. YOU GUYS WERE THE FIRST-- THE
FIRST IMPRESSION OF WHAT IT MEANS TO ACTUALLY BE IN A
FAMILY. WE HAVE MORE THAN 45 DANCERS.
EVERYONE MATTERS. TO ME, IT WILL MEAN EVERYTHING
TO BE ABLE TO SAY I WAS PART OF THEIR SUCCESS.
ARE YOU READY FOR TEAM
RECYCLE? ♪
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TEAM RECYCLE.
TEAM RECYCLE!
HOWIE. THESE ARE YOUR GUYS.
AMAZING. THE BEST YET.
I LOVED AT THE BEGINNING. GAVE YOU THE GOLDEN ABOUT YOUER.
EVEN BETTER. YOU DO THE TRADITIONAL DANCE
MEANT SO MUCH MORE TO ME. THAT WAS AMAZING.
SIMON, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
WELL, I THINK THAT WAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE SO FAR.
SAVING IT TO THE FINAL.
THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THAT. SERIOUSLY?
THAT WAS SPECTACULAR. GOOD FOR YOU.
EVERY ONE OF YOU. REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
MEL B. Mel B.: LET ME BREAK IT DOWN
FOR YOU. YES, YOU RECYCLED A LOT OF THE
MOVES WE HAVE SEEN. BUT THE WAY THAT YOU PUT IT
TOGETHER WAS KIND OF GENIUS.
YOU KEPT ME WANTING MORE AND MORE.
I COULD FEEL YOUR PASSION. I COULD HEAR YOU SCREAMING AND
GOING UG. IT WAS BRILLIANT.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES TONIGHT.
REALLY PROUD. SOFIA.
I AGREE WITH ALL OF THEM.
THIS WAS THE BEST THAT YOU HAVE BEEN.
IT WAS SO SENSATIONAL. IT WAS ENERGETIC.
THE MOVES FOR ME WERE DIFFERENT. CONGRATULATIONS.
NO WONDER THAT HOWIE GAVE YOU A GOLDEN BUZZER.
YOU DESERVED IT. YOU GAVE UP YOUR DREAM
OF DANCE AND CREATED THIS TEAM TO CARRY YOUR DREAM FORWARD.
WHAT DOES THIS MOMENT MEAN TO YOU RIGHT NOW?
THIS IS THE BEST FEELING TO SEE MY TEAM RISE AND SHINE.
THIS IS THE BEST CALLING I CAN GO FOR.
I'M SUPER FORTUNATE. THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
EVERYBODY! LISTEN, YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN
TIMES FOR EACH OF THE ACTS ON EACH OF THE VOTING PLATFORMS, SO

HERE'S STEVE RAY LADSON. WHERE I'M FROM, WE HAVE A POP
A POPULATION OF 1,900.
SOME MIGHT HAVE HOGS. SOME MIGHT HAVE DOGS.
AT 6 YEARS OLD, I WAS PLAYING LEAD GUITAR IN MY DAD'S CHURCH.
MY PARENTS ENVISIONS ME PLAYING IN CHURCH.
WHEN I STARTED PLAYING ROCK AND ROLL, THEY THOUGHTS IT WAS
DADDY. MY DADDY, HE ASKED ME, WHAT DO
YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS IN THE STUDIO?
THE EARLY DAYS WERE ROUGH. PLAYING TO SMALL CROWDS IN
COLUMBIA. I ENDED UP BACK ON THE FARM.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO.
IF YOU FALL OFF, YOU GOT TO GET UP AND GET BACK ON THE HORSE.
I'VE BEEN THROWN OFF A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES.
I NEVER GAVE UP. I ALWAYS BACK UP AND RIDE.
YOU ARE A SUPER DL STAR.
UNBELIEVABLE. IT WAS THE BIGGEST MOST OF MY
LIFE. THE GOLDEN BUZZER BOOST MID
MORAL. GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE I KNOW I
CAN DO THIS FOR A LIVING. I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO
NO TIME SOON. THE FAMILY IS COMING TO THE
FINALE. MY DAD AND MY MOM, THE FIRST
TIME SEEING ME PERFORM LIVE OUTSIDE OF CHURCH.
THE PRESSURE IS ON. I WANT TO SHOW THEM I HAVEN'T
BEEN WASTING TIME. I WANT THE TITLE.
