Mel B says that was stunning to watch, she couldn’t believe how amazing everything was and thought it was very entertaining. Howie says that this show inspires people and that they use props so well and loves how they use it so well in their dance. Howard says they went right through because they were amazing and feels like this time they kind of did the same routine; they were hidden and came out again. He would like a different concept next time, it fell flat for him. Heidi says she agreed with Howard, she loves the dancing and everything but felt they needed much more to their performance; she knows that they can do it.
Next up is Luke Rollins and he is a Wild West show man and wants to try his best to help his family; this is his dream and this is the biggest opportunity for him and he’s putting it all in this next performance.

Next up is Livy, Matt and Sammy; they all love music so much and have been fans of music. Their audition is their very first time performing together, they like to think they are professional with their music; though they like to listen to a lot of old songs. They can’t believe that they’re going do their third performance together at Radio City Hall.
Mel B says that she thinks that Livy is a solid singer, almost pitch perfect; though it felt something was missing in the performance tonight. It was super safe and didn’t grab her attention. Heidi says it was lack luster and snoozy; she didn’t feel the energy. Howard says that their performance was like an opening act, it wasn’t headline material. Howie says he feels Livy was a bit nervous and is certain she is a super star, this is one moment that America will save them because they are an incredible act.
Next up us Andrey Moraru and cam to America ten years ago, he still remembers his first time getting here; in Ukraine there was so much poverty and it was different to be here. The circus blew his mind and he wanted to be like the people in the acts; he thought they were impossible. He wants to prove that anything is possible and simple people can do incredible things.
Mel B says that she did not want that to stop, she could not believe how he was doing the things Andrey did; she would spend money for his show any day. Howie says hands down best act of the night, he’s what he wants to see. Howard mentions how Andrey is so artistic with his performance, it’s like art coming to life; he was so amazed. Heidi says he’s absolutely captivating and fantastic; America needs to vote for him or she’ll be heartbroken.

He loves dancing and roller skates everywhere he goes, he loves to make people happy all the time. He’s been hair styling for 27 years, though performing makes him truly happy.
Howie says that the thing is that he gets killed on Twitter for this, he just shows up and everyone smiles; to him Juan is a winner. Howard says the force laughter coming from Mel B and Howie is so annoying; he can’t believe that this guy got through and is so upset that the talent didn’t make it. Heidi admits that Juan makes her smile. Mel B says that it was hilarious and loved every minute of it, Howard is really mad about it.

Next up is Aeriel Animations, she loved comics and cartoons because anything can happen in them; she combined her act with her drawings and it makes her feel so happy.

Mel B felt like Jacob could bring so much more to the performance tonight, it wasn’t enough. Howie says that it was a great performance and believes he’s beautiful.
Next up is Matt Franco, he went to go see his grandma who taught him magic; she really helped him become the magician he is right now. He was super shy and magic helped him come out of his shell, he always wanted to go to Radio City Music Hall; his grandma is insanely proud of him.

Howie says he had no idea what happened and can only say wow. Howard says he make magic cool and a magician should really go to the top five.

Howard says that he loves his material and how interesting he is; the problem is that he needs to show off more of himself.
