THE DETROIT YOUTH CHOIR MAKES IT
INTO THE FINALS AFTER A
FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT
ON "AMERICA’S GOT TALENT."
>> Jason: THIS ONE IS REALLY
GROWING ON ME.
THE MORE I HEAR LAST NIGHT’S
PERFORMANCE.
PERFORMANCE. BUT ALL THE KIDS CAN DO IS WAIT
TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO HOURS TO
GO, RIGHT HERE ON LOCAL 4.
AND THE CHOIR IS BUSY ON THE SET
OF "AMERICA’S GOT TALENT."
EVEN THE RESULTS SHOW GETS A
FULL DRESS REHEARSAL.
OUR KIMBERLY GILL CAUGHT UP WITH
THEM LIVE IN HOLLYWOOD AND YOU
HAD A QUESTION YOU WANTED TO ASK
THE CHOIR DIRECTOR ABOUT WHAT
YOU SAW ON STAGE RIGHT AFTER
THEIR PERFORMANCE.
THEIR PERFORMANCE. >> Kim: THAT’S RIGHT.
HI.
HI. GOOD AFTERNOON!
GOOD AFTERNOON! LIVE FROM HOLLYWOOD, SANDRA AND
JASON.
JASON. YOU’RE RIGHT, THAT SPECIAL
MOMENT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT
A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY HAVE MISSED
IT.
IT. BUT IT WAS WHEN SIMON COWELL WAS
WHISPERING SOMETHING IN ANTHONY
WRIGHT’S EAR.
WRIGHT’S EAR. THE CHOIR MEMBERS TEARFULLY
EXPLAINING HOW DYC AND ANTHONY
WHITE HAVE CHANGED THEIR LIVES
FOR THE BETTER.
>> I REMEMBER ONE TIME I WAS
BEING BULLIED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
AND YOU TOOK ME ASIDE AND WAS
LIKE, AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY
ABOUT THEM BECAUSE I WOULD BE
BIGGER THAN ALL OF THEM BECAUSE
I’M GOING TO BE A STAR.
THAT I’M PERFECT AND I’M
BEAUTIFUL.
BEAUTIFUL. >> I’M A DAD AND YOU THINK OF
YOUR KIDS BEING BULLIED AND THE
FACT THEY HAD SOMEONE LIKE HIM
IN THEIR LIVES, TO HELP THEM
THROUGH THIS AND TO MAKE THEM SO
BRILLIANT, IT WAS VERY
EMOTIONAL.
EMOTIONAL. >> Kim: THAT SET THE STAGE FOR
THE LIVE PERFORMANCE.
A RENDITION OF HIGH HOPES FROM
PANIC AT THE DISCO.
AFTER THE PERFORMANCE, THE CROWD
IS GOING WILD AND THERE IT IS, A
MOMENT BETWEEN ANTHONY WHITE AND
SIMON COWELL.
SIMON COWELL. >> I NEVER WOULD BELIEVE I WOULD
BE TALKING TO SIMON COWELL ON A
PERSONAL LEVEL.
PERSONAL LEVEL. HE TOLD ME HOW INSPIRED HE IS
ABOUT OUR CHOIR AND JUST TO HEAR
THAT IS JUST SO MIND-BOGGLING.
>> Kim: I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT
THEY WERE SAYING, SO I ASKED
SIMON ABOUT IT ON THE RED
CARPET.
CARPET. >> YOU’RE AN INSPIRATION AND
WHAT YOU’VE DONE FOR THESE KIDS
IS REMARKABLE.
IS REMARKABLE. HE HAS MY RESPECT.
I REALLY, REALLY LIKE HIM AND I
LOVE THE KIDS.
AND THEY’RE NOT JUST GIVING
THEMSELVES A CHANCE TO GO TO THE
FINALS BUT MAYBE A CHANCE OF
WINNING THIS.
WINNING THIS. >> Kim: SO EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE
DONE PERFORMING, THEY HAD TO
REHEARSE HERE TODAY AT THE DOLBY
THEATER FOR TONIGHT’S SHOW.
COMING UP ON LOCAL 4 NEWS AT
6:00, ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS WAS
THE RAP PORTION OF THE SONG DONE
BY A YOUNG LADY CALLED JAYLA
SMALLS.
SMALLS. AND I’LL TELL YOU HOW SHE FELT
PERFORMING IN FRONT OF ONE OF
HER FAVORITE ROLE MODELS, QUEEN
LATIFAH.
LATIFAH. KIM KIRJS LOCAL 4.
>> Jason: AND THAT LITTLE RAP
PART OF IT REALLY MADE IT POP.
>> Sandra: IT REALLY DID.
AND ONE THING WE WANNA ASK YOU,
YOU MENTIONED THAT THE CHOIR HAD
TO REHEARSE, BUT THEY’RE NOT
PERFORMING, SO WHAT ARE THEY
REHEARSING?
REHEARSING? >> Kim: THEY HAVE TO REHEARSE
WHAT THEY WILL DO TONIGHT.
ON THE RESULTS SHOW, THEY WON’T
BE PERFORMING BUT NEED TO KNOW
WHERE TO EXIT ON THE STAGE AND
ENTER ON THE STAGE, AND WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IF THEY DON’T WIN,
WHICH WE DON’T EVEN WANT TO TALK
ABOUT BECAUSE THEY’LL WIN AND
ADVANCE TO THE FINALS, BUT THEY
NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SO THEY GOT DRESSED FOR THAT AND
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND
WHERE TO GO, AND WE’LL HAVE A
RECAP COMING UP ON LOCAL 4 NEWS
