"HELLO!" Chloe yelled into the camera. "And welcome to Total Drama Music!"
"It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here!" Sam continued. "IT'S CHALLENGE-What challenge are we on now?" Sam whisper-yelled off to the side.
"SIX!" Someone called back.
"IT'S CHALLENGE SIX!" Sam shouted happily. "NOW!" Sam yelled, liking being loud. "We are going to start today's BROADWAY themed challenge!" There were cheers from all around, even though there was no one sat in the audiences' seats. "As you can see, we haven't got a live audience today because...Well, we just couldn't be asked to invite anyone in. BUT! Onto the singing!"
Zakk walked onto the stage, holding his guitar by the neck in his hands. He sat down on the stool and pulled the black-army camo bullseye design B.C. Rich KKV guitar onto his lap and started playing.
"Look at these reviews!
'A satiric masterpiece.'
No way out.
'A surprise smash!'
No way out.
'It was shocking, outrageous, insulting...and I loved every minute of it!'
No way out.
How could this happen?
The show was lousy and long
We did everything wrong
Where did we go right?
'Christmas came early to Broadway this year -
and guess who they stuffed in our stocking? Adolf Hitler!'
It was so crass and so crude
Even Goebbels would've booed
Where did we go right?
Last night a star was born on Broadway - the lovely Miss Ulla
Inga Hansen Bensen Yonsen Tallen-Hallen Svaden-Svanson.
We predict that her name will soon be up in lights.
If they can find enough bulbs.
We searched Broadway on and off
For singers with a cough
We had tryouts and auditions by the score
And to trip the light fantastic
We picked dancers who were spastic
If anyone jetted, we jetted them out the door!
They shouted hooray
For that sausage on display
Where did we go right?
Our leading man was so gay
He nearly flew away
Where did we go right?
A show so easy to despise...
Now it's up for the Pulitzer Prize!
Oh, where, oh, where, tell us
Where did we go right?
'The best new music of the decade! Max Bialystock is a theatrical genius!'
Now they like me!
Oh, we knew we couldn't lose
Half the audience were Jews!
It's the end of our careers
It'll run for twenty years!
Tell us where...
Did we go right?"
Zakk strummed the last note and got up off the stool. Sam and Chloe showed no reaction as they both sat in the front row seats. The guitarist just walked off stage and Marianna walked on.
"Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven
Or Bethlehem
Some pray that one day, Christ will come a'-callin'
They light a candle and hope that it glows
And some just lie there crying for Him to come and find them
But when He comes they don't know how to go
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so bad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven
Or Bethlehem"
She gave a little bow of her head and shuffled off as Natalie walked on.
"When you're a skinny child of fourteen,
Wide with braces from ear to ear,
You doubt that you will ever be appealing.
Then Hallelujah! You are fifteen
And the braces disappear
And your skin is smooth and clear
And you have that happy grown-up female feeling.
How lovely to be a woman,
The wait was well worth while;
How lovely to wear mascara
And smile a woman's smile.
How lovely to have a figure,
That's round instead of flat;
Whenever you hear boys whistle,
You're what they're whistling at.
It's wonderful to feel
The way a woman feels;
It gives you such a glow just to know
You're wearing lipstick and heels!
How lovely to be a woman
And have one job to do;
To pick out a boy and train him
And then when you are through,
You've made him the man you want him to be!
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!
How wonderful to know
The things a woman knows;
How marvellous to wait for a date
In simply beautiful clothes!
How lovely to be a woman
And change from boys to men,
To go to a fancy nightclub
And stay out after ten.
How lovely to be so grown-up and free!
Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!"
Natalie smiled as she sang out the last note, also looking down to the co-hosts. Still no expressions from them.
Next up was Martin, who had his head hung low as he walked onto the stage and stood in front of the microphone. He still wasn't too happy about everything that was going on around him in his life.
"Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
The filmmaker cannot see
And the songwriter cannot hear
Yet I see Mimi everywhere
Angel's voice is in my ear
Just tighten those shoulders
Just clench your jaw till you frown
Just don't let go
Or you may drown
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight Zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion - I rent
What was it about that night
What was it about that night
Connection - in an isolating age
For once the shadows gave way to light
For once the shadows gave way to light
For once I didn't disengage
Angel- I hear you- I hear it
I see it- I see it
My film!
Mimi I see you- I see it
I hear it- I hear it
My song!
Alexi-Mark
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my own film
I quit!
One song-glory
Mimi
Your eyes...
Dying in America
At the end of the millennium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
And when you're dying in America
At the end of the millennium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone"
The saddened Indian boy got up and walked off stage as soon as the music had stopped. He was not in the mood for sticking around.
Kat came walking on next, sitting down on the stool like most of the others.
"Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?"
She smiled and walked off, leaving James to come on and take her place.
"One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find
One song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory
On another empty life
Time flies
Time dies
Glory
One blaze of glory
One blaze of glory
Glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then no need to endure anymore
Time dies"
Up next was Thunder, who walked on with her head slightly hung down and no smile on her face. This was her first challenge without Kelvin by her side.
"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone..."
Thunder walked off and Dana walked on from the other side of the stage to everyone else. She didn't want to risk any of them talking to her as if nothing was wrong. Dana stood in front of the microphone and started singing.
"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Unlimited (Unlimited)
My future is unlimited (unlimited)
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know - it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday I'll be...
Flying so high! (Defying gravity)
Kiss me goodbye! (Defying gravity)
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
I'm defying gravity!
And you won't bring me down!
Bring me down!
Bring me down!"
She belted out the last note, took in one deep breath and walked off the way she came, slight tears in the corners of her eyes.
Jesse walked on next, hesitating at first since all eyes were still on Dana's exit. But he sat down on the stool and started singing himself.
"Words get trapped in my mind
Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do
'Cause the first day you came into my life
My time ticks around you
But then I need your voice
As the key to unlock
All the love that's trapped in me
So tell me when it's time
to say I love you
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand
It's 'cause I want to
We are all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt
I figured out
I love you
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand
It's 'cause I want to
We are all born in a world of doubt
And there's no doubt
I figured out
I love you
And I feel lonely for
All the losers that will never take the time to say
What was really on their mind instead
They just hide away
Yet they'll never have
Someone like you to guard them
And help along the way
Or tell them "when it's time?, to say I love you"
So tell me "when it's time, to say I love you" "
Sami was up next, and she, unlike everyone else, had a smile on her face. Sure, she was missing Alexander, but she was determined to have fun with her song and show everyone that not everyone is in a bad mood.
"A friends not a cheap little phony creep
Or a jerk trying to make a deal
A friend is a person who, most of all,
Cares about what you feel;
And nothing is harder
Than learning a friend isn't real
A friend sends notes back and forth all day
And doesn't care that you can't spell
A friend knows you've got a crush on your teacher,
But a friend would never tell
A friends outside waiting
The minute you both hear the bell
And if your heart is always breaking
Cause the world is just not fair
When you're at your worst
Your friends the first one there
Giving you something to lean on
And that's what it means to be a friend
A friend wont smoke when she's in your room
Or laugh at the poems you write
A friend won't go start kissing your brother
The minute that you're out of sight
A friend is the person
You call sixteen times every night
And if your heart is always breaking
And you want to run and hide
When your hope is gone
Your friend is on your side
If someone moves in round the corner
And you want to show him you care
So you give him all your last month of vacation
And all of the time you can spare
But then, on the first day of classes
He acts like you're not even there,
Then he doesn't know
He doesn't know!
He'll never know what it means
To be a friend"
Sami smiled slightly, her head down slightly too as she finished the song in perfect mood, before smiling widely and sipping off the stage.
Last up was Troy, who came walking on and stood in front of the microphone.
"Hey little girl with the cash to burn
I'm sellin' something you won't return
Hey little girl take me off the shelf
'Cause it's hard having fun playing with yourself
Once you've browsed through the whole selection
Shake your hips in my direction
A prettier package you never did see
Take me home then unwrap me
Shop around little darlin' I've got to be
The Ladies' Choice, (Ladies' Choice), Ladies' Choice
Hey little girl lookin' for a sale
Test drive this American male
It's gonna take cash to fill my tank
So let's crack open your piggy bank
Hey little girl going window shopping
I got something traffic stopping
Hey, little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection I'm sure that you'll agree
I'm the Ladies' Choice, (Ladies' Choice), Ladies' Choice
(ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh) (Wow!)
Hey, little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection I'm sure that you'll agree
Hey little girl, listen to my plea
I come with a lifetime guarantee
And one day maybe we'll find that baby makes three
It's the Ladies' Choice
I'm the Ladies' Choice
The Ladies' Choice
I'm the Ladies' Choice choice choice
I'm the Ladies' Choice"
Everyone off stage was now smiling; Troy really had been a good end to the show.
R.B Cam
"Well, I think that went well." Troy smiled.
"Okay, so, whatever is happening with Dana must be pretty bad, right?" Kat asked. "BUT! Whatever it is, it is bringing James and Martin closer together and for that I am soo happy and thankful!"
Living room
"Soo..." Sam sighed, falling backwards onto the sofa. "Another challenge gone..."
"I know..." Chloe agreed, falling down beside her co-host. "We're slowly-VERY SLOWLY-moving along in this competition..."
"Yeah..." Sam sighed once again. "BUT!" She sat up slightly. "We now need YOU guys at home to VOTE for who you want to LEAVE the competition next time on Total!"
"Drama!"
"MUSIC!"
