Performing for one million dollars
Here's Brian Justin Crum
[crowd cheers]
press play (laughs) Okay.
Hey Brian, congrats on making it to the finals.
I have been voting for you the whole time
you're going to win
America's Got Talent, I know it
Hey Brian you got fans all the way in Ontario, Canada
I never thought when I
started this journey that my story would
have such an affect on so many people
I just wanted to let you know that your
story really resonated with me
I was horrifically bullied to the point where
I had to switch schools
and I dealt with a lot of depression
and self harm, and eating disorder
I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression
and it's people like you who
that are gonna help other kids not have to go
through what we went through
knowing what it
is like to go through all of that
and to not know if you're going to make it
out on the other end, I know what that feels like
listening to your music has really helped me through a lot
it made me believe and have hope that everything will work out in the end
and to not let the haters get me down
just knowing that I can help somebody get through that is why I am here
and I know that this is what I am meant to do
thank you so much Brian
you are such a light in this world, we can't wait to see you in the finale
Love you, Good luck, have fun, Bye
(Crowd cheers)
(crowd cheering)
I feel real good
I'm gonna make a difference gonna make it right. A summer's disregard
a broken bottletop, and a one man's soul
they follow each other on the wind, you know
cos we got nowhere to go,
that's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
no message could have been any clearer
if you want to make the world a better place
take a look at yourself and then make that change
yeah
Somebody's broken heart
and long lost dream
follow the pattern on the wind and sea
cos we got no place to be that's why I am starting with me
yeaaaaah
I am asking him to take a look at yourself and then make that change
woaaah! CHAAAAANNGE
(crowd clapping and cheering)

Brian Justin Crum got everyone on their feet
Mel B. Mel: aaaaarrr
how much did you enjoy that?
Mel: Brian Brian
I mean every time you perform it's just
absolutely stunning you know what that
was a risk to do that song but I think
that risk is gonna pay off because you
owned it and you made it your own and
those notes that power in that voice
it's just undeniable
Heidi
I love you hi I mean no one sings with
that much drama with that much intensity
like you just did I mean it was really
powerful and I mean it felt like you
were singing for your life today or for
a million dollars maybe it won't be a
million dollars who knows I hope
everyone votes for you, you were fantastic Brian, Good Luck (crowd cheers)
Simon
Brian, you know that that tape before you sang
I mean that tells me everything
about you and the person you are and
what you've achieved more than just
being a great singer it's what you've
done over the past few weeks I thought
when the song first started I thought
you just made a huge mistake here and
then halfway through I thought actually
you know what you just made the best
decision of your life with that song I
really do (crowd cheers) I thought it was really really
incredible and you know something Brian
there is a big difference between people
who come on every week and just sing and
are forgotten, with you, who are,
you are just a naturally brilliant performer
congratulations (crowd cheers)
you know I've used
this term with you before it's epic
you know what if I was gonna be totally
honest Michael Jackson's arrangement I
like better, your performance was epic
you made it your own that's all
subjective it couldn't have been better
it couldn't have been bigger it was
wonderful
America's Got a tough decision (crowd clapping)
B.J.C.
a performance of a lifetime a
a sharp-dressed man taking a risky shot
when Michael Jackson saw what would it
mean to win this entire thing
I mean it would really mean everything to me and

aren't good enough I love you so much
