America's Got Talent

Reached a whole new level.

I don't know if we can show that on TV.

Three yeses,

See ya in Vegas.

The fight for $1 million continues.

I just fall on my head and crack my skull open.

You are barking mad.

E you serious? - Yeah.

I'm the best magician in the world.

You're kind of like the Hugh Hefner

Of the accordion world.

That's exactly right.

Fasten your seatbelts, America.

You're in for the ride of your life.

The show that discovers the nation's greatest new act.

Tonight, we're here to test the talent

Of New York City!

New York has talent.

Male announcer: It's day two of the auditions

In our nation's biggest city, New York.

Day two, New York City.

This is the day.

This is where the winner's coming from.

I just feel it.

New York always delivers the best audiences,

And usually, most of the best talent.

New York q92.3 now,

You are rolling with Nick cannon.

And there are thousands of people lining up as we speak.

And as the acts get ready,

There's one thing on their mind--

Vegas, baby.

The ultimate prize--

$1 million and a headline show

In the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas.

America, I got talent!

Do it!

The audience is ready,

The judges are in their seats...

And backstage, our first act

Thinks she has everything they're looking for.

My name is Mary Ellen Elaine Rneer.

I'm 74 years old, and my talent is

I'm gonna play the keyboard and sing.

It just gets to me, music.

It's like a dream, like I was meant to do this.

And I'm not giving up.

All right, Mary Ellen. - Oh.

Are you ready? - I guess.

And what's your name?

Mary Ellen Elaine Rneer.

What are you gonna do for us today, Mary?

Well, I'm gonna try

A little country ballad-- patsy Cline.

What brings you here to the show?

What brings me here is an opportunity.

I'm 74 years old, and I--

I had a lot of obstacles in my life,

And every time I had them, I kept going back to my music!

Good.

Okay, let's hear you sing, Mary.

Well, I hope it's tuned in here a little bit.

Oh, yeah. Good luck.

Go ahead and warm it on up, Mary.

Carry on, carry on, Mary. Carry on.

Oh, it's getting good.

She is rocking.

I was just getting into it.

Mary, yeah, look, I think there may have been

One or two missed notes there.

Yes, okay, I believe that.

The thing that struck me, I was looking at you

Thinking, "Where have I seen somebody like you?"

The red hair, the white top...

Oh, no!

Singing--singing a song called crazy...

Oh, my.

You're absolutely barking mad, but I love you.

I have to say...

You are truly unique.

You said before that people tell you

You sing like patsy Cline.

You know that you don't, right?

No.

But I like that. - I'm glad I--I'm glad I--

I'm not trying to copy anybody on my original--

No, you didn't copy anybody, you are you.

Yes, I am, you got me. - I got you.

Oh, my. - I love it, I love it.

I don't know why I love it, but I love looking at you,

I love listening to you... -

Ooh. - And I love the yodeling.

I think I'm in love.

I wanna be in love.

Aw, aw. - Someday again.

I hope--I-I-I-- - you will.

You will. - All right, we're gonna vote.

Piers? - Well, Mary, look.

I mean, you are a lovely lady.

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to say no.

I'm sorry. - Okay.

That's all right, piers. That's fine.

Howie. - Mary...

I know this is crazy,

I know people at home are going, "Howie..."

I won't even tell you what they're saying.

But I'm telling you

That I'm gonna say yes.

I gotta see more of this. - Oh, honey, thank you.

Maybe, Mary, you might find a husband in Vegas.

So I'm gonna send you there.

Thank you!

Congratulations, Mary.

You were awesome!

I thought she was lovely.

What a lovely woman.

You're going to Las Vegas! - Oh, my God.

You're gonna hear me then. -

Whoo! You're going to Vegas, Mary.

You're gonna find you a husband in Vegas.

Okay!

She's quite eccentric, but fabulous.

Coming up, on America's got talent...

Best audition of the day.

I like you!

Blood can be spilled all over the floor.

Welcome back to America's got talent.

I'm Nick cannon.

And the biggest city on the East coast

Has something to prove!

New York's got talent!

And in a city where there's talent

On every street corner...

New York's got talent, baby.

The judges' expectations are running high.

Looking for something unique.

You gotta see something that makes you just go "Wow."

What is your act?

I'm going to do something that there is a possibility

That I can fall on my head, and crack my skull open,

And blood can be spilled all over the floor.

Okay, when you're ready.

I'm going to attempt to balance on my head,

On top of this basketball,

On top of this champagne waterfall of death.

Do not try this on your coffee tables at home.

Whoa, almost fell out of that one.

Howie?

If you were to go on,

What is it that we could look forward to?

We have seen the--

Something that is going to blow your socks off.

Oh.

I like you.

I love you, Rudi.

Okay, let's vote.

Howie, yes or no?

Yes.

Thank you. I like you.

It's a definite yes from me.

Thank you.

Rudi, there's only one thing I wanna say to you.

Yeah? - I like you!

That's a yes.

Gracie. Thank you.

See you in Vegas.

Aw, what a sweet couple they are.

Congratulations. - Thank you.

I like you. - I like you.

And it seems the rest of New York

Is hoping the judges like them too.

We are the spangles dance company.

Good luck.

I actually felt as if my mullet was returning.

I'm gonna say yes.

That's a yes from me.

I just like you all.

I'm gonna say yes.

What's your name?

My name's Eric.

And I'm gonna be performing

A yo-yo performance for you guys.

Let the yo-yoing begin, Eric.

That was incredible, actually.

Thank you.

Yes from me.

I love you, I'm gonna say yes.

So we'll see you in Vegas.

Thank you.

See you later, man. - See you.

So the yeses keep coming.

That was literally amazing.
