00:00:00Hello my friend, we were having a very nice conversation earlier, and you have the coolest

00:00:17first name that I think I've ever heard. Tell us your name.

00:00:22It's working. It's working.

00:00:24Come on. What's your name?

00:00:26Poseidon Whitehead.

00:00:28And Poseidon, how old are you?

00:00:32I'm five years old.

00:00:37That's incredible. And where do you live?

00:00:41Choppy, Florida.

00:00:43Okay.

00:00:46Now, I've got a very important question for you.

00:00:49What would you do with a million dollars if you won?

00:00:53I would share it with poor people and homeless people and everybody in this whole world.

00:01:01That is very sweet. With a little bit left over, what would you buy yourself?

00:01:08I would buy 200 bags of slime and squishy toys.

00:01:13200?

00:01:15I love how you can make it fart in your hands, the slime.

00:01:17Yes, ma'am.

00:01:20You are so sweet. Now, how many years have you been learning to play the drums?

00:01:26Since I was one and two and three.

00:01:28What?

00:01:29No!

00:01:30You know, my son also plays the drums. I think being a drummer is the coolest thing in the world.

00:01:36Yes.

00:01:37No more questions. You just have the best time of your life, okay?

00:01:41Thank you.

00:01:43So sweet.

00:01:45Thank you.

00:01:49I saw him backstage stretching.

00:01:51Yeah, he's ready.

00:01:52He's so cute.

00:01:53He's so tiny.

00:01:54So tiny.

00:01:56Bless him.

00:01:57Is he sitting or standing?

00:01:59I can't tell.

00:02:15She's a girl with the diamonds in her shoes, yeah.

00:02:18She looks so hot, man.

00:02:19She's running from you, yeah.

00:02:20She's got it, she's got it, got it.

00:02:22She told me that it's saggy.

00:02:23She's a queen of the city, man.

00:02:25She don't believe the hype.

00:02:26She's got all the motivation.

00:02:28All the motivation.

00:02:29So, rise and let it start.

00:06:06I

00:06:16Welcome to America's Got Talent. Thank you. And who do we have here? What is your name?

00:06:21My name is Arshia Sharma. That's a beautiful name. And where are you from? I'm from Jammu Kashmir in India

00:06:30This is your first trip to America, I have never been to America or any other country except India

00:06:41So, how was it for you flying to sit in that airplane for so long are you scared in the airplane or no

00:06:47I'm not scared, but I was so tired sitting all the time

00:06:53Tell us how old you are. I am 13 years old

00:06:59On the biggest stage in the world. So what are you going to do for us today?

00:07:03So I am a dancer, but I don't want to be like others. I want to be different

00:07:09so I

00:07:11Tried doing gymnastics and added some flexibility moves into my dance to be different

00:07:18Okay, good to be different

00:07:22Are you nervous

00:07:25Yes

00:07:26Because America's Got Talent, it's a big thing so I can't keep it in my stomach

00:07:37Well, he said your dance is different we love different around here so we're very excited to see what you've got

00:07:43I just need some seconds to prepare something. So I'll write back

00:07:49Yeah, see you soon

00:07:52Okay

00:07:54You can't just dance like that you got to prepare that's how I am

00:07:59Well, I think there's gonna be an outfit or something and maybe an outfit you're right, yeah

00:08:06Yeah, maybe a traditional beautiful outfit

00:08:22Oh

00:08:29God she's changed

00:08:51We

00:09:21Oh

00:09:51Oh

00:10:21Oh

00:10:36When you said you were gonna leave to change I thought you were gonna come back with a pretty dress

00:10:43You know, I have two daughters and two granddaughters and this is the scariest most horrific dance recital

00:10:50I have ever been to

00:10:54I feel like you're one of the best contortionist we've ever seen also when he did certain moves that made those

00:11:04This backflip you did and you landed on your chest

00:11:20We should say to little girls watching this don't do this in your own home without a lot of training ever

00:11:27Can you do this I

00:11:29Mean, I wonder sometimes when you're in the middle of it is like there's no way she's gonna be able to detangle

00:11:36But you did every time and got into a worse position after

00:11:42Yeah, I thought yeah, you know you're gonna come back and do it like a Disney routine or something because she was so sweet

00:11:51Well, then you come back as Linda Blair

00:11:56It was just so unexpected and frightening and brilliant at the same time

00:12:02That's what you've got to do with your two or three minutes you have

00:12:07Everyone's gonna be talking about you tomorrow. Trust me

00:12:17One yes for me

00:12:21Simon the Chihuahua turned into a werewolf and we'd love you for yeses

00:12:44I think that was bloody amazing

00:12:47She

00:12:49Was very good everything about it the outfit the makeup the music

00:12:55saw that coming and I

00:12:58want to

00:12:59Give you a shock again in the next edition. I I bet you will because you are shocking now

00:13:07Richard good all from Terre Haute, Indiana. I've lived in Terre Haute my whole life

00:13:12I was that kid up in my bedroom with the Radio Shack stereo

00:13:16My favorite thing was just to sit up and listen to my music and I just belt it out

00:13:21Eventually, I was like I gotta find me a job. So I become a janitor at Chelsea Rose Middle School, which is only

00:13:29Three blocks away from my house. My first job in LA was sweeping floors and I used to sing to myself

00:13:34But that's that's the thing. I keep up my voice

00:13:38I'm not a fancy person. I take out the trash. I wipe off the tables. I sweep the floors

00:13:44I'm just having fun and I'm trying to make people happy

00:13:48The kids would hear me sing and they tell me I you know that I I've got talent that's why I'm here

00:13:55That's why I got on a plane

00:13:57when I took off from Indianapolis, I

00:14:00Felt that front wheel come off the ground and you have this this floating you're no longer stable

00:14:06And that's what that's what this whole experience is like right now

00:14:10I mean, it's a good off-balance, but until you actually do something you don't know if it's right for you or not

00:14:16Oh, I'm getting chicken skin talking about it. It's time to meet the judges. Thank you, sir. I'm with you

00:46:16Like where the simplest of things, you know ignites our excitement like they recently installed a traffic light in my village

00:46:23Everybody was so excited about this traffic light. We're all taking photos with it

00:46:28Kissing the traffic light

00:46:31We don't need a traffic light in my village we don't need because the driver don't drive like you Americans you guys drive crazy, okay

00:46:38because in my village we drive like

00:46:50Like we don't even have a good cell phone reception if you want to call someone you have to climb a mountain

00:46:56First when you're on top of that mountain you finally call the person like

00:47:08My place is interesting man up so old school

00:47:11We don't even use social media to view someone's photos. You have to visit their house first

00:47:16Look around the house, you know looking at all the photos in the house. I like this one

00:47:21Who would I like this one?

00:47:24I would like to share this one

00:47:33But now I'm in America man, I'm adjusting to this country man, everything is new to me

00:47:44poor white people

00:47:46I

00:47:56Was like, can I have a doughnut? I was like I came here to ask you for a doughnut

00:48:05Taking photos

00:48:07I

00:48:12Mean it's new to me man. Even the food in America the food is so much food in America

00:48:17So big everything questions are big the other day an American friend of mine. I was like man, I am starving

00:48:28You are hungry, okay

00:48:32Trust me. There's a difference. Okay

00:48:35Now do you think when I go back to my village, you know after experiencing this much food in America and someone is like man

00:48:41I am hungry. I'll be like no

00:48:45You are starving. Okay

00:48:49Thank you very much

00:49:04Oh

01:03:52Walks wide

01:03:55He was too big for the theater Wow

01:03:57It was like the moon landing that kind of excitement you that was one small step for man and a huge step for a GT

01:04:10Yeah, I loved it too it felt kind of like as if it was an alien invasion

01:04:14Like in the beginning when you know when they all came and it was so many of them and it's just amazing how you

01:04:19Program this all you know your imagination how you thought about you know, the little story that you were telling it was beautiful

01:04:44Yeah, this crowd you're lucky

01:04:50Yeah

01:04:51Thank you. Thank you

01:04:53It was really

01:04:55Patriotic and I think the way you told the story the use of music whether you're

01:05:02Three years old whether you're a hundred years old. I think you are gonna

01:05:08absolutely love

01:05:10that audition

01:05:12I

01:05:15Am obsessed with space and that landing on the moon

01:05:21For every one of you. I want to say bravo

01:05:37Okay, okay, okay, okay

01:05:40You know, we keep talking about

01:05:42the rules

01:05:44Yes

01:05:45there is no rule book, which means

01:05:50I'm gonna do this lift off

01:06:09I

01:06:30Just thought I mean, there's nothing in the book and say we call there is

01:06:39But if you do it everyone else

01:06:48Okay, I have to

01:07:09Yeah, I mean it was like mind-blowing and everyone was screaming golden buzzer

01:07:31Looks like we're in the right place

01:07:33This is amazing. This is my sister Jenna. This is Stu and we're the Red Claws

01:07:38We grew up in a small town called Kirkwall we had a farm not a normal farm. No, it was called yee-haw adventure

01:07:47Hundreds of people would just come have fun

01:07:50Our dad built a 10,000 pumpkin pumpkin patch 10 acre corn maze and pig races. That's where the Red Claws started

01:07:56It was a halftime show at the pig races and I played the banjo

01:08:00She sang our mom actually named the band because it's our last name backwards. It's Walker backwards as Red Claw

01:08:05That is the coolest thing

01:08:07We've been back and forth trying to decide what song to do

01:08:11We wanted it to be a song specifically about our mom

01:08:15We lost our mom to mental health and that shook up our world

01:08:19We lost her in 2022 and it was a very tough time for our family

01:08:23And we just want to acknowledge that to people that are going through tough times mom would be very proud right now

01:08:29The whole reason we're here. It's because of her

01:08:32I

01:08:38Hope that she can see us here

01:08:44She'd say you play for Simon Cowell do not embarrass me

01:08:49We have one shot at this performance. So we're not gonna stop mom. Can't stop

01:08:53Now

01:08:58Hello

01:09:00Welcome both. Let's hear your names, please. I'm Stuart Walker and I'm Jenna Walker. We're brother and sister

01:09:07Okay, and where you from?

01:09:09Toronto Canada

01:09:15What kind of music are you into country music country brilliant

01:09:20Do you write your own songs we do we're actually gonna perform an original song

01:09:25It's called people don't talk about and tell me what it's about

01:09:28We wrote this song probably two years ago

01:09:30Our family's been through a lot of stuff that we kind of didn't feel comfortable talking about and we wrote it about that

01:09:36We felt like if we had this opportunity to get on this stage and if we had one song to play

01:09:41This would be the song. This is the one I

01:09:44Said 17 would have loved to hear this song. That's really important. And do you think you're gonna win?

01:09:49We've been chasing this dream for a long long time and we feel like it's just the right moment and timing sometimes is everything

01:09:57We're all rooting for you. So best of luck

01:10:09I like it when a group I think they're gonna be good

01:10:18I

01:10:31Grew up playing cowboys. I like to play pretend

01:10:36Bunch of kids in a backyard back when it made sense

01:10:41We would speak our minds and say just what we meant. That was the old me. Nobody told me

01:10:48that everything

01:10:50Changes. Yeah

01:10:52You better keep quiet if you wanna fit in

01:10:57People don't talk about when it's 2 a.m. You're talking to yourself again. You're digging a hole. You're digging a hole

01:11:06People don't talk about trying to be yourself, but feeling like you're someone else

01:11:12You're not alone

01:11:14You're not alone

01:11:17I wanna know everything that you don't say

01:11:22Yeah, all the things that people don't talk about

01:11:29As people don't talk about

01:11:37Say it all then say the rest if you let it out you can let him in

01:11:42I'll take a breath

01:12:58First of all, you're singing and your writing is impeccable and I don't usually respond to lyrics like I'm responding to this

01:13:06You know

01:13:07I've been very open when my little soapbox is

01:13:09Mental health and there's a stigma attached and the thing that allows me to survive is the ability to talk about it

01:13:19This song is an important song and I think that you were gonna go a long way in this competition

01:13:27Yeah, I liked it too I like this song I love that you're siblings

01:13:32I also feel that you really want it and I feel like you deserve it

01:13:37Thank you

01:14:24Their reaction just meant the world

01:14:27So much to us just from what we've been through as a family in terms of mental health

01:14:34And that's what was important to us for how we didn't point that out immediately

01:14:38It was shocking because that's the whole point. Listen, everybody here got it. Thank you. Thank you

01:15:03No interesting I'll be sick

01:17:24Absolutely. Genuinely a level up

01:17:27When you said your dog can dance he actually dances better than human

01:17:35I'm not kidding. I've never seen anything like this. It was amazing. Heidi. What do you think? I loved it

01:17:41I love the both of you. I mean it was incredible the stopping the starting

01:21:07You did it very uniquely the mixture of magic and your performance made it so much more special

01:21:13You're the best quick change artist we have ever seen. Yeah, really

01:21:21Professionally was entertaining

01:21:27Yes

01:21:29Sometimes when we have these acts

01:21:31you have a lady who does the quick change and then normally an annoying guy who does nothing and

01:21:38The fact that you're on your own and did it for me made it just so much better

01:21:43It was so slick and you've got two minutes to cram that in that was amazing. Thank you so much

01:21:51All right, let's vote yes or no Simon obviously, yes

01:21:58Yes

01:22:01Third yes

01:22:18Love the mixture of magic and

01:23:03I

01:23:33I

01:24:03I

01:24:34Oh

01:24:49I'm speechless. It was so exciting that the choreography the music was so dramatic and

01:25:04I know nothing about dance other than I do know when someone is

01:25:12Original God knows how many months you spent getting that together. It was like a machine

01:25:18Literally, you've got a real shot of winning after that

01:25:26How do you say amazing in Japanese so bad I see so policy

01:25:33You were able to stay in sync at such an amazing speed and then you add the agility to that like you guys are

01:25:41Bending over and back so fast. I've never seen that kind of movement. It was original. You are so worthy of being on season 19
