- Here we go! Everybody hold on! Ahhhh! She did it!
- Oh my gosh. (laughs)
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we have a challenge for you that might make you
a little emotional. - Uh-oh. I woke up this morning
ready for a challenge. - Oh, what kind of emotional?
'Cause I'm fragile. - (FBE) This is going to be
a Try Not to Cry Challenge. - No! Thank god I'm not
wearing bottom mascara.
- (FBE) For this challenge, all the videos are gonna be
golden buzzer moments from the "Got Talent" franchise.
- Oh, okay. So, it's like a good cry.
- (gasps) These are my favorite. I am a huge fan
of "America's Got Talent." - The judges only get one
per season, right? So, I feel like if they're
gonna use it, it's probably, A, someone who's crazy talented,
and B, someone who has a really amazing story.
And I think the combination of those two is a lot emotionally.
- (FBE) We're gonna have you rate each video on a scale of one to five
based on how emotional you thought they were.
- Bring out the tissues!
- Thank you. - It's okay to be emotional.
- It's a natural human thing. Everyone should feel emotions
and not feel ashamed to cry. Let's go.
- I'm Kodi. - (Howie) Hi, Kodi.
- I know this one. - Oh, I saw this one.
- Oh, no! I've seen this. - I just saw this the other day.
- (Kodi) I'm gonna sing a song for you on the piano.
- (Gabrielle) I love it. - This is so wonderful
to see the first time. - (Tina) Kodi is blind and autistic.
- (judge) Wow. - (Tina) We found out that he loved
music really early on. It actually has saved his life,
playing music. - Aww.
- Music is amazing.
It just does so many things. - Ooh, I just got... goosebumps.
- (gasps) - Oh, yes! Okay, here we go.
Everybody, be quiet! Nobody talk to me!
- ♪ I've been to so many places ♪ - Yes, vocals!
- I love Simon's face. He's just as taken aback.
- ♪ I've sung a lot of songs ♪ - I'm already tearing up.
- Very talented. - ♪ I've acted out my life on stages ♪
- He's so good. - ♪ ...10,000 people watching, yeah ♪
- If I had an ounce of his talent... - ♪ And I'm singing this song to you ♪
♪ Woo, ooh, oh no ♪ - Ah, his voice.
- Oh my gosh! Ah! - That range. Oh my gosh.
- ♪ ...song ♪ - (gasps) Oh my god.
I just got goosebumps. - ♪ ...to you ♪
- (crowd cheering) - (clapping) Yes!
- (Howie) Well, first of all, I will tell you
that all four judges and everybody in this room
were up on their feet. I will tell you that.
- Aww. - (Howie) You gotta know that.
- (Gabrielle) I'm a new judge this season, and I'm also a new mom
this year. - I love Gabrielle.
- (Gabrielle) You just want to give your kids the moon, the stars
and the rainbows. And tonight...
- Aww! - Mmm.
- She's going for the buzzer. - Here we go!
Everybody hold on! Ah, she did it!
- (gasps) - Oh my gosh!
- (chuckles) That's so cute.
- I love their faces as they realize
what's going on. Oh my gosh. - I am so fully emotionally
invested in this right now! - That's insane.
- I'm on the verge of tears. - I have a special needs brother
of my own, and... he's just the greatest.
You never really know how talented somebody can be
if they have these special needs. It's crazy.
- (FBE) So, this video recently went viral of Kodi Lee,
a talented 22-year-old singer and pianist, who's blind and autistic.
- Oh my god. - (FBE) As of filming this episode,
the video already has almost 20 million views in two days.
- First of all, he's so talented.
It's so impressive. And to be able to do all that
with being in a situation like that, it made me emotional.
I got teary-eyed, so I'm sure it affected
a lot of other people, too. - (FBE) After watching this video,
where do you rank it on the emotional scale of one to five?
- Three. - Mm, a four.
- Obviously, it holds a special place in my heart,
but I would say three. - Kodi's amazing. He's a 10.
But in terms of tears, you know, I'm just gonna
give that one a two. - Four.
- Five. Nothing's gonna beat this one. It was beautiful. I cried!
- Five. That's a pure moment. That's a real moment.
- Five! - That's a five for sure.
- That's a five. - I mean, I've seen it before
and trust me, I was crying way harder. (laughs)
- I'm Kseniya Simonova. I'm 33 years old, from Ukraine.
When I found sand, it was like...
- I haven't seen this one.
- (Kseniya) This is the story about a child, who grew up,
became famous artist, and forgot his parents.
- What?! - (Kseniya) I wish nobody forgets
their parents, please. - Whoa. I've never seen this one.
- Whoa! - Ooh.
- Is she drawing with sand? - Oh, that's cool.
- That is an amazing talent.
- That's insane.
- Oh, no. They're not answering. (heart rate monitor beeping)
(heart rate monitor flatlining) Wait!
- No! - (crowd) Awww.
- Oh my gosh. - I'm getting goosebumps.
- Wow. - ♪ Slow down ♪
- Whoa.
- (crowd cheering) - "Don't... be... late." Awww.
- (Terry) Okay, okay! - Tearing up.
- Oh, Terry Crews is such a good host.
He's just a happy guy. - (Terry) I have never
been more impressed by the ability to move people
the way you did today! - Wow.
- Terry...
Is he gonna do it? What?! (laughs)
Terry Crews came out of nowhere!
- Oh! He can do that?! Terry Crews gots the power!
- Oh, he gets a golden buzzer too?
- Aww. - Oh, wow.
- That's such a happy moment for people.
- Oh, that's so beautiful. - This person's very talented
and I'm glad that their talent is being shown to the world.
- That's a really creative way to enter the competition,
and the story was very deep. I wonder if it connects
back to her life. - I'm gonna give that one
definitely a solid one. - A two. I just didn't feel
the emotional attachment. - That was a four.
- I would give that a... a two.
- I'll say a two. I think it was more just uplifting
than emotional in general.
- I'm putting it at three, in the middle,
just to have that neutral sort of attitude.
- I was really impressed by the sand art,
so I'd give it a two. - Three.
- Yeah. - Three for sure.
- I got lots of goosebumps. - I love it.
I would give that a four. That was so good.
Anything with parents too. I love my parents so much.
- (Alesha) What's your name? - I'm Dave McPartlin.
I'm the head teacher at Flakefleet Primary School.
And this is our choir. - Oh! I've seen this, too.
- I haven't. - (Alesha) What's the big dream
for this choir? - Reading and writing's
important at school, but the kids had a dream.
This one in assembly said she wanted to go on "Britain's Got Talent."
And here we are. - Aww.
- ♪ Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real... ♪
- I love this song. - ♪ I feel alive ♪
♪ Ah, ah, ah ♪ - They're so cute.

- Whoa! - (David) You've just made
all our hearts soar today, and that's you want
your childhood to have been like and what you want
your children's childhood to be like.
- Aw, he's so right. - Awww.
- I'm already tearing up. - (David) ...unbridled joy.
- Oh, look at the little boy! - Aww.
- (David) So, this is what I think! - Really? This is gonna be the one
that's gonna make me cry? (sniffles) Aww.
- Awww. That's so cute.
- Aww.
- Aww! Oh my gosh. (chuckles)
- Aww, that was so cute. - I'm gonna give it a three,
'cause I didn't cry. But it did give me chills.
- A solid four. I can see why somebody
would cry at that. - Three. Am I dead inside?
Should I be having a different reaction to these clips?
- A four. - I'd give it a three,
'cause I feel like it was a little less than the first one.
- Four. - One. They didn't struggle.
There was no story behind it. They were just kids being kids.
- That one's a good four. - I was feeling lots of emotions.
Happiness...
Oh, just happiness, I guess. (laughs) - Laughter.
- Three, even though it's the one that made me cry.
It was more sweet and touching. Seeing a teacher who cares that much,
when every parent sends their kid to school,
that's what they hope for.
- My name-- my name's Drew. - Yes! This guy! Oh my gosh!
- (Drew) I, uh-- I have a-- I have-- I have a stutter.
That's what-- that's-- that's what that is.
- (both) Aww. - (Howard) And what is your talent?
- (Drew) I'm a-- I'm a com-com-comedian.
- (Howard) A comedian, okay. - This guy's a comedian. Let's go.
I wanna laugh. - (Drew) Almost four years ago,
I was on a softball team. - Ohh, poor thing.
- (Drew) ...and hit me in my throat... - (gasps)
- (Drew) ...damaged some nerves in my vocal chords.
- What?! - (Drew) I started to do comedy
as a way of, I guess, coping with it. - Oh, wow.
- (Drew) I'm okay with-- with-- with my-- with my-- my voice,
but I-- I still struggle with some-- some things, like-- like-- like,
I have the hardest time at a drive-through.
- (chuckles) - (Drew) You know, 'cause--
'cause you-- 'cause you-- you gotta say the-- say the order fast,
and you're-- and you're-- and you're talking
through an intercom. It's like, I don't know why I--
I-- I would work there. - (laughs)
- (Drew) I don't know why I-- I-- I would work there.
- (chuckles) - (crowd laughs)
- Howie loves it! - (Drew) I believe that you--
you-- you can turn anything into a positive.
That's why I'm here. But I've come along some people
who don't think... - I love him.
- (Drew) I did a sh-show one time where-- where-- where a guy stood up
and was like, "Hey, y-you-- you can't just
make-- make fun of disabilities j-j-just 'cause you-- you have one."
- (chuckles) - (crowd laughs)
- (Drew) I was-- I was like-- I was like, "W-well, d-d-d-did I--
did I-- I stutter?" - (all laugh)
- (Drew) D--d-d-did I-- did I-- I stutter?
- (laughs) - (laughs) "Did I stutter?"
Oh, he did it! - (Howie) Comedy usually comes
from a dark place. A lot of comedians are depressed.
I, personally, in my life have used laughter
to try to gain some happiness. And because of you
and because of this moment, I wanna do something very special,
something I haven't had a chance to do.
And I'd like to do this... - Yes! (claps)
Oh, I love that. - Awww.
- Oh, this is making me cry the most. I don't know why.
- That's so cute. - Aww, that is so cute!
I think my lash is coming off. - That's so exciting
for him. - Oh my gosh.
Oh, that's a five. - That's a five.
- It took a lot of courage for him to get up there and do that.
I'd give a three. - I would give it a... three!
- Okay, that's a solid four. - Solid five, because it's just...
it's one of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen on AGT.
- I'm gonna give that one a three as well.
- Four for me. Yeah. Yeah, that was cute.
- I'd give it a two out of five. I thought it was really uplifting
and powerful, but emotional? Just a little bit.
- You know what? I haven't given out a five yet,
so yeah, five. Being able to...
be in a profession that is an uphill battle,
it takes a lot of courage and a lot of admiration,
and I have a lot of respect.
- (FBE) So finally, many of these videos
have gone viral. Why do people love to watch
these golden buzzer moments so much? - I think these are feel-good videos.
It makes you feel motivated to do something,
do something good with either your life
or help others. - Seeing people feel good,
it's addicting. Seeing people feel good
makes you feel good. - It's kind of inspirational
to see someone go after their dream. And when they actually succeed,
it makes it even better. - People naturally like
to see other people succeed. And the tougher the process,
the more excited and happy for somebody you can be.
- Such a cool moment to see someone live their dream
and live their fantasy and be able to be on that stage
in front of everyone, share their amazing, cool,
unique story, and then get that golden buzzer,
the confetti's falling in slow motion.
- We strive for connection, like, human connection and emotion.
And I think this is-- you can watch a two,
three-minute video and really connect with someone
and hear a small part of their story and see that triumphant moment.
With each of these people who got that golden buzzer,
I'm sure there was years and years and years of leading up to that,
and that is a big pinnacle, "we made it" moment
that they'll never forget.
