Forte may sail into the “America’s Got Talent” finals based on the stellar performance the trio gave Tuesday on Top 12 Night.

The opera group performed a Spanish version of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic, and received a standing ovation from the entire panel.

Howard Stern told the singers, “You guys always pick the right song. You know how to harmonize and you know when to harmonize. Those individual voices speak to us and [are] powerhouse when you come together.”

Heidi Klum commended Forte for singing “like true professionals,” and Mel B declared, “You are definitely going through.”

“And if you don’t, I’m going to be so angry,” continued the Spice Girl. ”When you harmonize, I just want to melt. I love you, I love you, I love you.”

Howie Mandel pointed out, “It’s amazing that three amazingly talented men doing a song synonymous with a sinking ship has brought this show to new heights. ”

And host Nick Cannon even noted, “That might’ve been the longest standing ovation we’ve had.”

Kenichi Ebina made a moving play to make it into the “America’s Got Talent” finale on Tuesday’s Top 12 Night.

The judges gave the dancer a standing ovation for doing a smaller, yet much more emotional performance than in past rounds, in which Ebina acted out the process of dying and being lifted away to heaven as an angel.

Mel B said afterward, “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,” she went on, adding, “One word: flawless.”

Heidi Klum pointed out how “intense” the performance was, and Howie Mandel reiterated his belief that Ebina is the one to beat.

“If America has any care for me whatsoever, this is the man you should vote for. This is the most talented man there is…. You are true, pure talent, sir,” said the judge.

And Howard Stern declared, “I am a fan of Kenichi’s for life…. This is brilliant. I love what you do. You are definitely going to be in the top two.”
