He does a little dance routine.
Oh, dance routine?
Yeah.
So we're going to battle.
Is that what you do?
Yeah, dance-ish performance.
What's up, man?
Hi.
How you doing?
Very good.
Hi, what's your name?
My name is Kenichi.
I'm 38 years old.
I'm from Tokyo, Japan.
And I'll be performing dance-ish performance.
A little bit of robots.
Okay.
Wow.
I'm ready to see something I've never seen before.
You gonna give it to her?
Yeah.
Go get her, man.
Have fun out there.
Look at you.
Hello.
What's your name?
My name is Kenichi Ebina.
What is your act?
My act is dance-ish performance.
Dance-ish?
Ish.
Yes.
Okay.
How did you get into dance-ish kind of performing?
I knew only the one step called the running man.
And when I did it, people got loud.
And I was like, yeah.
And I was like, oh, I feel good.
All right.
Good luck.
Have fun.
Thank you.
I loved it.
The stuff that you did.
I haven't seen anything like it before.
You have a control over your body that is unbelievable.
Thank you.
From the youngest judge on the panel,
I can say that was off the chain.
You're no spring chicken.
What are you talking about?
Oh, I am.
I thought your head had come off your body.
It was that convincing.
We see a lot of guys who come on stage
who try to do what you do.
They can't do it.
And you have a story to tell.
You know, you were doing the Matrix there.
That was the whole movie all in 90 seconds.
It was awesome.
It was magnificent.
I could watch you all day.
Me too.
Thank you.
I'm telling you, that is the best dance we have seen in Chicago.
It's the best dance I've seen in a long time.
You told a great story.
You were wonderful.
Thank you.
Yes.
Let's vote, guys.
I'm going to start it off with a big yes.
Thank you.
I like what Heidi does with her eyes when she votes.
It's a yes.
Say yes from me.
You were great.
Thank you.
And Mo is yes-ish.
Thank you.
See you in Vegas.
Thank you.
The best dancer we have right now.
Awesome.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I love it.
He went on slow motion.
And he went like.
Have you ever seen moves like that?
You're a dancer.
Not like that.
I'm going to Vegas.
You're going to Vegas?
They didn't tell you that out there?
No, no.
Bro, I didn't.
You made it through.
You're going to Vegas.
Oh, okay.
It's set.
I'll give you this.
Wow.
Put some effort into this.
Heidi, how'd he do?
I liked it.
I think that it's very interactive.
You know, it's not just dance.
When we saw you for the first time, you danced,
and we kind of had to use our own imagination,
what was going around you.
And today, you brought us the whole picture.
You know, I really liked it.
You were very precise.
Because we have seen some acts on the stage
where sometimes, you know, a hammer was coming
and they kind of moved too late.
I mean, you were always spot on.
And you get me every time when you do this.
It's so good.
Mel.
That was off the hook.
Edgy, fun, cool.
I love you a lot.
Okay, I have never done this before
in four years on this show,
but I am begging America.
Kenichi has to win the million dollars in this whole thing.
You've got to say something.
Let me just say something.
I don't think the people at home realize,
but we could tell here.
Every character on that video screen was him.
Even the lady.
The robot.
Everybody was him.
So he made that video.
He created that video.
Amazing.
It was a video game.
It was a movie.
Vote him in, or...
I'm going to...
Ooh.
Judge Stern.
Okay, the word genius is a word
we don't want to throw around too often.
My fellow judges give standing ovations like it's nothing.
When I get on my feet, it means something.
I gave you a standing ovation because it's genius, genius, genius.
Like it's dance.
You are the whole package.
You were fantastic tonight.
What a brilliant mind you have to put that thing together
to choreograph that.
Bravo, sir.
Konichi.
Judge of the game.
Come on down here, sir.
I think the other you is trying to get out of the mirror.
Is he going to stop?
That's amazing.
Howie, you're still on your feet.
And I don't want to leave my feet.
This is the biggest talent show in the world.
You, sir, are the biggest talent in the world.
You really are.
Let me just say, this is a variety show.
You have the variety.
You're a comedian.
You are a dancer.
You are a mime.
You are an artist.
You are a writer.
You do absolutely everything.
A lot of the other contestants do one.
People have to vote.
You've got to vote.
This is what it's all about.
You're the man.
You should win a million dollars.
Calm down!
And the other you is still trying to get through.
He's still trying to get out.
Howard.
Kenichi, I must applaud you.
I do not know how America is going to figure this out tonight.
We have seen the strongest semifinals ever
in the history of America's Got Talent
thanks to people like you.
I can't criticize that.
There is nothing that I could say to you
that would improve that performance.
You're still going strong and you're not even doing anything.
Amazing precision.
I applaud you.
Fantastic.
I loved it.
Still going back there.
Heidi, how'd you like it?
Kenichi, you are elevating dance to a whole new level.
I think that you are a genius.
Yes.
Genius.
Miss Mel B.
It's just mind-blowing what you do and how you do it
and how you come up with it.
I want to see this show in Vegas.
Done.
Kenichi, is he ever going to stop?
Yeah, I mean, he's trying to, you know...
Uh-oh.
Ask for help.
Oh, I think that's Mel B.
Oh, you're doing Mel B.
Kenichi got everyone on their feet,
including himself, off his feet in midair.
Looked like he was flying.
Mel B, talk to him.
This is crazy.
I just don't know how you do it,
how you come up with the idea, the concept,
and make it all work so beautifully.
That was thoroughly entertaining.
Every time you come on this stage, you own it.
One word.
Flawless.
We brought the fan out for you, Kenichi.
Heidi.
Wow, it was a really intense performance.
You know, I felt like I was watching you having a heart attack,
dying, and going to heaven.
But, you know, it was beautiful.
It was really beautiful.
You know, maybe after all, it's not that bad.
What?
He came to life, though.
No, no, no.
But, you know, you went to heaven.
It was beautiful.
Do you agree?
You are an artist.
Do I agree with what part of that?
I agree.
No, I think she's right.
I mean, that's what I got out of it.
Wow.
But here's what I got out of it.
There is, and I keep repeating myself,
if you care, if America has any care for me whatsoever,
this is the man you should vote for.
Yes, I agree.
This is the most talented man there is.
Hysterically funny to tonight's ethereal,
classical, brilliant show.
You are true, pure talent, sir.
Vote.
You know, Nick, I am a fan of Kenichi's for life.
This is a guy who went ahead this week.
You were expecting something even more crazy and spectacular.
He brought it down and made it small,
and we saw your dance,
and we really got to see how you moved.
You were stripped down,
like when an artist takes a song and goes acoustic.
This is brilliant.
I love what you do.
You are definitely going to be in the top two.
You're definitely going through.
This is big.
Vote.
Fantastic.
You're a real contender.
You're going through.
People will vote for you.
Kenichi, you just said you didn't expect to hear that from the judges.
You definitely went in a different direction.
I still want to know how in the world,
the thing before you got on the angel wings,
you were, like, flying and floating in air.
Are you going to tell us how you did that?
Because I die.
Then I go to heaven.
So that's why I can fly.
Great explanation.
Heidi was right, apparently.
Good luck.
Wow.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm good.
The superhero!
I said you were in that piece.
And what is even amazing,
we're asking every contestant to come back and do basically what they did.
You did what you did, but you did it better.
You tweaked it.
You added illusions.
You filled the stage at Radio City Music Hall.
There is nobody better than you.
I hope America gets on board and votes.
Don't take it for granted.
More people vote for singers, but they should vote for you.
They really should. You deserve to win.
Judge Stern.
What is so great about tonight is
it's a reminder of we saw you with that original performance,
and you've gotten even better,
even when you do this now.
Look, America, we've got to pick a million-dollar winner.
I said we're going to find a superstar this year.
Is this man not a superstar?
Would you pick this man?
Vote, vote, vote.
Don't leave it up to Nudnik.
Sit at home and vote for this guy.
Make sure you vote.
He deserves to win.
Tell your friends to vote.
Heidi.
Of the whole entire season of America's Got Talent,
I love when my jaw drops
and when your hand goes like 160 degrees.
Don't hurt yourself, Heidi.
Around.
I love it.
You knocked me off my chair.
I love it that much.
I'm down.
Mel B.
Lord.
I'm so glad we all got to see this again live.
You are a genius.
And I'm telling you, America has to vote for you.
Tell your friends to vote.
You deserve to win this, brother.
You really deserve to win this.
But he won't if they don't vote.
He won't.
Kenichi, he beat people on their feet.
Great job.
We're going to start with the one person in Radio City
who didn't stand, Mel B.
Yeah, I mean, Kenichi,
I think you are amazing.
But I think that performance right there
was a little bit off for me.
I wanted to feel that impact like you usually give me.
I think you're a very, very talented dancer
and creatively you are on point.
But for me, that didn't blow me away
like you have done every single time.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Heidi.
Kenichi, I think that your creativity is limitless.
I think that you're a superstar.
You have showed us so many different things.
Head into the suit.
You know, when you danced with a kind of like a video game.
Today you showed all the many different characters of yourself.
You have died and gone to heaven.
I mean, you've done so many different things.
And if I could vote, if I would be at home right now,
I would vote for you.
Because I really like you.
You booed Mel B's comments.
Well, of course.
She's being ridiculous.
I think all that hair on her head has gone to her head.
You know, never a dull moment on America's Got Talent.
Here we are.
Big moment.
Weird stuff happening.
I'm oddly attracted to you as a blonde in a dress.
I don't know why.
That's never happened to me before.
This is so brilliant.
Look at this guy.
He has to come out here.
He's not like a singer who you've seen up on stage
who has to sing someone else's song.
He goes home and creates what you just saw.
He created interesting characters.
This guy is mesmerizing.
He deserves to win America's Got Talent.
He is absolutely captivating.
As all of these characters,
this is a celebration of Kenichi tonight,
not America's Got Talent.
Mr. Mandel.
I agree with Howard wholeheartedly.
And people at home should be clear.
Every one of those characters was him.
And I've been saying this all night,
and I'm going to say it again.
I don't know how fair it is that people,
the creativity and the originality
that goes into what you do and what Taylor does
far surpasses anybody who's singing.
The problem is the people at home
that realize that aren't the people that vote.
If you want him to win, it's not going to happen.
If you don't vote, you've got to...
Calm down, Howard. Calm down.
So much talent on this stage.
Thank you so much.
Great job.
I'm going to have to control these two at the table.
Okay.
The winner of the $1 million
and the star of a headline show in Las Vegas is...
How does that feel?
Oh, my God.
I don't know what I can tell,
but, you know, being supportive all the way through.
And my mom, brother, sister, and all my friends
and all the fans and supporters.
Crazy.
You're a million-dollar winner.
Crazy indeed.
Let's keep it going for Taylor.
How's your experience been?
This has been so amazing.
It's such an honor to be here,
and you guys made my dreams come true.
I think number two, that's kind of disgusting, that number,
but thank you guys so much for making my dreams come true.
Thank you.
Howard!
Kenichi is the winner.
Talk to him.
We had a great season.
Kenichi, this is why America's Got Talent is great.
We discovered a superstar.
You truly are.
And to Taylor, congratulations.
Both of you are stupendous.
We've had a great season.
Yes, we did.
And America got it right.
Yes, they did.
America, make that noise one more time for Kenichi Ibina.
I want to thank all the finalists, all the judges.
Simon Cowell!
I'm Nick Cannon!
