AceShowbiz - Ten acts performed one last time for the winning title on "America's Got Talent" Tuesday night, September 15. The episode kicked off with a performance by Oz Pearlman. He amazed the crowd at Radio City with a magic trick which involved Melanie Brown a.k.a. Mel B, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Howard Stern.
He asked the judges to randomly pick one out of five envelopes he had. Each envelope contained a paper of different color. He then revealed that the colors of the judges' chairs matched their respective papers.
Uzeyer Novruzov spinned a hat, climbed up a free-standing ladder and used it to climb some stairs. He also hung the ladder on the ceiling and he used his hands to climb up and down that ladder to make it look like he hung on a helicopter's rope ladder.
Country crooner Benton Blount delivered his version of One Direction's "Story of My Life". Howard said Benton looked and sounded like a star although the first verse was flat. Mel B. called it perfect.
Another stand-up comedian, Gary Vider, joked about Ryan Gosling, how North Korean hackers set him out of debt, and not knowing about Caitlyn Jenner's transition among other things. Mel B. praised him for being consistent, while Howard compared him to Woody Allen.
Piff the Magic Dragon had Howie sign a $20 bill and then turned it into a voucher. He later revealed the $20 bill inside one of the walnuts which belonged to Mr. Piffles. Howard thought it wasn't Piff's strongest performance.
Paul Zerdin performed with Sam's grandpa Albert. He joked about confusing his hearing aid with his suppository and then hit on Heidi. At the end of his show, he brought out all three puppets at once. Howie thought all of the voices were too similar, but Howard dubbed Paul a master of what he does.
The CraigLewis Band sang "Beggin' " by The Four Seasons. Heidi praised the duo's energy as Mel B. raved that they brought the house down. Howie, meanwhile, said the R&B singers had a chance to win.
Derek Hughes introduced his act as the first three minutes of his Las Vegas show. It included some ropes of the same length and he asked Howard to cut a piece of the rope and then put the ropes back together. Howard called the performance underwhelming.
Stevie Starr a.k.a. "The Professional Regurgitator" swallowed five thumb tacks and a magnet. He coughed up the magnet with four tacks as Heidi wished, followed by the last tack. He also created a big explosion by blowing the gas into a bubble and lighting the bubble with the lighter. Heidi called it a million-dollar act.
Drew Lynch joked that he's not sexually active to save money. He also poked fun at the lack of conviction in his voice and how it's difficult for him to give his phone number while stuttering. He also joked about his girlfriend's bust size. Mel B. said it wasn't long enough because she wanted to laugh all day along with him. Heidi and Howie gave a standing ovation as the model declared, "No matter what happens tomorrow, you have already won."
The winner will be announced in the second part of the finale airing Wednesday, September 16 at 9 P.M. on NBC.
