PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: The stakes are higher than ever on 'America's Got Talent' as the show now enters the live segment. With only two acts making it to the finals each week, there is a lot on the line for the performers as this might be their last chance to make their dreams come true.

As Celia Muñoz got ready to perform, she explained that she met with Darci Lynne, a former 'AGT' winner she admired. Darci explained to her that she would never win if she didn't take a risk. Celia explained that she wanted to be good and was ready to do just that.
