>> I'm 20 23 years old.

>> And where are you from, Brooklyn?

>> I'm from the Netherlands.

>> Ah,

>> have you ever done anything like this

before?

>> No. This is like the biggest crowd I've

ever stood for. So, yeah.

So, you've come all the way over to

perform on the show. For what reason?

>> Um, well, I always loved singing, but

like I didn't really think that it was

actually something I could pursue

because I dealt with a lot of anxiety

through my life. So,

>> I um like my parents didn't even know

that I could sing.

>> And one day um my dad just like heard me

sing from another room. And when I came

out, he just sat in his chair and like

with tears and like so proud like, "Oh

my god, is that you?" And like he um he

actually really encouraged me to pursue

singing.

>> Oh, okay. Well, I can see that you are

nervous. Do you want some water or

anything?

>> Yeah.

Yeah.

>> It's tough just coming out on the stage

and then you have anxiety and you're

from another country.

You good?

>> Um, I'm ready.

>> Let's do it.

>> She's going to do great. I hope so.

>> Here we go.

>> I hope she's proud.

>> I love you. I love your song. I love,

you know, the feeling that you were

putting into it. You have a beautiful

voice. Um, I can feel that you're very,

very nervous.

>> Um, and you shouldn't be because you

have it all. Oh, thank you so much.

>> I mean, I closed my eyes and I wouldn't

have heard your nervousness or anxiety

cuz it just sounded like you were in

your happy place and your voice sounded

so so beautiful. So, thank you.

>> Thank you so much. We appreciate it.

>> Yeah, it was haunting. I'll tell you

something. you travel all this way to a

whole other country and to be open about

your mental health, you know, all these

things. And it's tough enough even if

you have none of those issues just to

walk out on that stage and then when you

start singing, you're like a flower and

you bloom and it was just open, warm,

beautiful.

Good job.

When you first started, you were very

nervous. I could hear that in your

voice.

But I really hope this boosts your

confidence because you really have got

great range. Um, fantastic presence on

stage.

>> Can I ask you a question? Is your dad

here today?

>> A couple years ago he uh sadly passed

away.

very proud of you, I think, tonight. It

was a great audition.

>> Thank you. I appreciate it.

Okay. Uh, I'm going to be the first to

say yes.

>> I'm going to give you your second yes.

>> Yes. Yes. Yes.

>> Yes.

I was like a little scared because my

voice wasn't doing great today.

>> Oh no, your voice was is doing great out

there.

>> I'm so sorry. It was so beautiful. I'm

so sorry. I got a little cheer on that.

>> Yeah, she's really good.

is.

at home. Two-month old son.

nothing there besides Dollar Generals

and churches,

but not very many musicians. So, when I

some.

>> And how long have you been playing

together? We've been doing this act

together for 6 months.

>> Oh, new.

>> Yeah.

>> Do you uh you have regular jobs?

>> I'm a waitress at a family-owned

restaurant called Big Toms.

>> I work full-time at it's a Burillium

Brillium Copper Company, so I got my

hands full there, too. But this is

>> all I've ever wanted to do.

>> Is this the biggest crowd you've ever

played in front of?

>> This is the biggest crowd I've ever

played in front of.

>> Okay. All right. So, let's hear you. I

can't wait.

>> Name's talent.

Lately, I've been I've been losing

sleep. Dreaming about the things that we

could be. Baby, I've been I've been

praying hard. Ain't no more counting

dollars. We'll be counting stars.

Yeah, we'll be counting stars.

I see this life like a slanging mine.

Swing my heart. Cross the line in my

face. Flashing signs. Seek it out and

you shall find out. But I'm not that

old. But I'm not that old. And I don't

think the world is so long. just doing

what we're told. I

feel something so wrong doing the right

thing.

I

feel something so right doing the wrong

thing.

Everything that kills me makes me feel.

Take my money, watch it burn. Sink in

the river, the lessons I learn. Take

that money, watch it burn. Sing the

river, the lessons I learn.

Baby, I've been I've been losing sleep.

Dreaming about the things that we could

be. Baby, I've been I've been praying

hard. Ain't no more counting dollars.

We'll be counting stars.

>> Okay, here's what I saw. I love your

voice, but you've only been doing it for

6 months.

>> Yes, sir. And because it was new, it

didn't seem ready. You know, it's like a

meal that's not done yet.

>> I don't agree with that.

>> I think it's the opposite.

>> Yeah, me too.

>> I think when you find someone and you

see someone's potential, you have to

work with people like that straight

away.

definitely willing to do whatever it

very talented. So, I'm in two minds with

you two right now cuz I want to tell you

off because you're so talented. You

could have done better.

Okay. So, let's vote. For me to polish

it and get it ready, it's it won't be

this season. It'll be next season. So,

for me, it's a no.

I'll never let you go.

Now, can I just ask

that seemed extremely personal to you?

Can you tell us a little bit about that?

Yeah, we wrote that uh during a tough

period of my life where I was uh going

through some troubles and loneliness and

um it's about finding a special someone

to always be there for you.

>> Backstage is hilarious.

>> Yes, I've seen a bit of it. How did you

feel when you woke up this morning?

>> Um, hungry.

>> Hungry. Okay.

>> That's how it usually starts, but I felt

I felt good. I felt ready.

>> Cool. And where are you from?

>> I was born in New York.

>> Yeah.

>> Raised in the South. Georgia, Tennessee,

North Carolina.

>> Yeah.

>> So, America's baby, you know what I

mean?

>> Yeah. Okay. And why did you decide to

come on the show this year?

>> It's a great show. I've I've seen it for

years and um it felt felt right to do it

this year.

>> You love surprises, so I'm not going to

ask you anything else.

>> You ready?

>> Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready.

>> Okay, we're ready. Good luck.

>> Come on. Good. Got a good feel.

I'm a poet and um this poem is called

The Riot Wasn't Plan A.

>> And if you loved anything that much, if

you loved anything that much THAT MUCH,

YOU'D FIGHT TOO. You'd fight through who

and whatever. I bet you choose violence

over silence every time. You might die,

but you might live. You might give the

last drop. You couldn't stop if you

loved anything that much. If you loved

anything that much, the touch of

patience would hit differently. You be

forced to disagree. Compelled to

disobey. Compelled even if afraid. God

blessed the day long with struggling.

The night deep with loving and touching.

Now imagine it disappearing into

nothing.

PEOPLE

KEEP ON LEARNING.

SOLDIERS. YEAH.

They keep on waring. To feel love in

your mouth again. I bet you would turn

into a cusser, a disruptor, a disturber

of the peace. Your peace intact. Exact

precision of blunt instruments. It will

make no difference however intuition or

intonation might lead. You cry and swing

and cry and swing for the fences. If you

loved anything that much, you fight too.

You'd fight back. No matter how weak

they said you were, no matter how many

days in a row you haven't eaten, ain't

been sleeping, barely breeding, still

wanting, still needing. You keep on

keeping, finding fresh pain for that

picket sign. You jump the line,

regretting you only have one life to

give for your babies and your lover,

lying to your mother who's still in

denial about raising a fire starter. A

flame fanner, son of man, not manner.

You laugh on the witness stand. The only

hands you are in belong to the most

high. Shadrach, Meshach, Abedneo, them

your first, second, and third cousins.

Nat Turner, William Wallace, them your

brethren.

So glad he let me try it again.

My last

I live the whole world saying I keep on

trying

till I reach

the highest.

Hey Lord,

I can't let nobody the highest ground.

Thank God.

>> Wow, that was very very very

powerful. Thank you.

You delivered inspiration and vocals and

wisdom all wrapped up in a beautiful

package. I loved it.

>> Sophia,

>> your voice is beautiful. It feels like,

you know, you really meant what you were

saying and I think that's what made it

so special.

>> Thank you.

>> You said I'm a poet and you are a poet,

but you know what? You are so much more

than just a poet.

>> Took poetry and spoken word to a whole

other level.

>> Thank you.

>> I get it from my mother. I get it from

my mom. My mom's a poet. My grandfather

was a poet. My great-grandmother was a

poet.

A great audition. First of all, is a

surprise. Secondly, you got to be

original. And importantly, you got to be

remembered. And you're going to be

remembered for that. That was so good.

That's a 10. That was an 11.

>> Howie? Yes.

Now,

>> yes. No brainer. Yes.

>> Three. Yes.

I really like you. Four. Yeses.

>> Hello.

>> Hello.

>> What are your names? My name is Naja

Music.

>> And I'm Zia Rhythm.

>> Are you related?

>> Yes, we're brothers.

>> Brother.

>> How old are you both?

>> I'm 16 and he's 15.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> Who's the naughty one?

>> Uh, that means you.

>> Okay. Where are you from?

>> We're from Aahu. The north shore of

Aahu.

>> Oh, who is that?

>> Love. Okay. Why did you decide to come

on the show this year? When I was

little, we watched Grace Vanderwell's

audition here.

>> Yeah.

>> And I think that really inspired me to

come here.

>> Nice.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. Thank you.

>> Okay. And you're singing, right?

>> Yes.

>> Okay. And what's the song?

>> It's Heartbeat. It's our original.

>> Nice.

>> Wow. Okay. You ready?

>> Yes. But before we have something to

give you ladies.

>> Something for the ladies.

>> Oh,

here we go.

Oh, that's very sweet of you.

>> Yes.

>> Wow.

>> What about us?

>> That's very nice.

>> No presents.

>> You guys got roses.

>> Don't be jealous, Howie.

>> Very charming. Okay. Right. We're ready.

Go for it.

I was hoping

our love could set us free cuz it's not

broken.

No.

If I do, will you choose forever?

If you do, then I'll choose tonight.

Can I be your heartbeat?

All the flowers in here. Can I be your

heartbeat?

All the scents you love to wear. Tell me

you love me.

Yeah, I'll be there with you forever. If

I was your heartbeat,

then our hearts

can be together.

And I pray that I'll never lose you. Cuz

your love's easy to get used to.

Yeah. your love.

I feel

your

heart.

Tell me you love me. Tell me you love

me. I'll be there with you forever. If I

was your heartbeat,

let our hearts

be together.

You said that uh what inspired you to

show up today was Grace Vanderwal.

>> Yeah.

>> And I have to say that your voice and

the the quality reminded me a little bit

of Grace.

>> Thank you.

>> I think you're going to be memorable. I

think people are going to know your name

and I just think that they're stars.

>> Yeah. Thank you so much.

>> I think you guys are amazing. just that

your brothers, you were like, you know,

in heaven on that stage

>> and we could feel it from here.

>> Thank you.

>> Um, you're very likable and I'm rooting

for you. I want you to do well, but I

have to be honest with you also. The

song didn't really connect with me.

But what did connect with me was your

vocals and then your harmonies that I

won't forget about.

>> Thank you. All right. Yeah. I mean, this

is so hard to do what you've just done

as a first audition. You know, it's

nerve-wracking,

>> but if you've got talent, you got

talent.

>> Yeah.

>> Right. And you do.

>> Thank you.

>> Yes.

>> Okay. How is Yes.

>> Thank you,

>> Mel.

>> I mean, it is a no-brainer. It's a Yes,

>> Sia.

>> Of course. Yes. You got four yes as

well. Thank you so much.

>> Hi.

>> Oh my gosh.

>> Hi there.

>> Hi.

>> Hi. Welcome to America's Got Talent.

What's your name?

>> I'm Betty and Betty.

>> I'm 17 years old.

>> 17 years old.

>> Yes.

>> How does it feel to be here? You look

quite overwhelmed. What are you

thinking? I am so nervous right now. You

know, I've been always watching this

show and dreaming one day I could be

here. And I'm here, so it's actually

insane. It's not real.

>> Wow.

>> Where are you from?

>> I know. Spain.

>> Where are you from?

>> I'm from Spain. Um, yes.

>> Oh, wow. You traveled all that way?

>> This is my first time in America ever.

>> Oh,

>> yeah. I came with my brother, too. He's

my biggest supporter. So,

>> so if you've been watching the show for

a long time, why now? Why today?

>> I just I think now I'm in this age where

I feel more confident in myself for some

reason. And you know, I just have this

feeling.

>> That's very sweet. Well, Betty, good

luck. The stage is yours.

>> Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

I'm more nervous than her own.

I was distracted

and in traffic. I didn't feel it when

the earthquake happened. But it really

got me thinking. Were you out drinking?

Were you in the living room chilling

watching television? It's been a year

now. Think I figure out how how to let

you go and let communication die out. I

know you know you know you were down for

forever and it's fine.

I know you know you know we were meant

for each other and it's fine.

But if the world was ending, you'd come

over, right?

You'd come over and you'd stay the

night.

Would you love me for the hell of it?

All our fears would be irrelevant.

If the world was telling, you'd come

over, right?

I know.

something.

But if the world was ending, you'd come

over.

You'd come over and you'd stay the

night.

Would you love me for the hell of it?

All of this would be relevant.

If the world was ended,

You know, Betty, I don't think it could

have gone any better for you right now.

You have so much potential, but I can

see your nervousness. I'm so overwhelmed

right now.

>> to take all this positive energy in.

>> To me, you have one of those recorded

voices. If I was to hear you on the

radio, I would know it was you

immediately.

>> And that is a standout star quality.

>> Thank you so much. Thank you. You have a

very unique sound in your voice. It's

kind of like Pauly and Adele all rolled

into one, you know.

>> Oh my god.

>> Well done, young lady.

>> Thank you so much.

>> Thank you.

>> Absolutely. Well done. Your energy is

beautiful. The song was perfect. You're

a star already.

>> Thank you so much.

I love the fact that someone you're 17,

you flown over, you're nervous, and then

you kind of gave us like a master class

of how to sing a song

>> and in Spanish.

>> It was amazing

>> and you're not copying people. I love

the fact you just got your own thing

going. I think you absolutely nailed

that, Betty.

>> Thank you so much. You're so humble.

Okay. Howie, what do you think?

>> C.

C. Simon. 100%. Yes.

>> Yes. Yes. Yes. Well done. Thank you so

much. Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank
