-Chapter 63-
-Shelby pov-
Getting closer to nationals is not a fun thing. It's also something I'm not taking lightly. Judy, Holly, Maribel, and Rachel are judging with me. Emma wanted to but is busy with Fran. I really hope they aren't doing anything around the babies.
Today we are listening to duo songs. I'm not sure how this will go honestly. The pairs are pretty well together..well minus sugar and Tina. That one worries me. They've had to practice together.
I sigh and look at the list. Up first is Sam and Lucy. I felt bad for Rachel and Santana for them being paired. I know they don't swing that way but still. I've heard the history.
"Alright" I sit in my chair and look at the stage "Lucy and Sam! You are up!"
Lucy and Sam walk to center stage. I look at them and see them smiling. This may cause some issues. At least we didn't give them any love songs. The music starts and I sigh.
I'm fucked.
-Lucy-Sam-Both-
Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Oh, honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind
Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Oh, honey when you knocked on my door
I gave you my key
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
And nobody told us
'Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it
So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my heart
"That was wonderful" Everyone claps minus Rachel and Santana "Uhhh why don't we have our next group?"
"I agree" Rachel looks down at her paper "Santana or Snixx with Brittany!"
Alright! I know I didn't give them any love songs! But the look on Santana's face has me worried. I really hope this is going to screw us over. We need a duo.
-Santana-Brittany-Both-
Say, say, say what you want
But don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need
But don't leave me with no direction
All alone, I sit home by the phone
Waiting for you, baby
Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My pleading for you dear?
You know I'm crying ooh ooh ooh ooh
Go, go, go where you want
But don't leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away
So long girl, I see you never
What can I do
Girl to get through to you?
Cause I love you, baby
Standing here, baptisted in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know I'm crying ooh ooh ooh ooh
You never ever worry
And you never shed a tear
You saying that my love ain't real
Just look at my face
These tears ain't drying
You, you, you can never say
That I'm not the one who really loves you
I pray, pray, pray every day
That you'll see things, girl like I do
What can I do girl, to get through to you?
Cause I love you baby
Standing here baptised in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
"Bravo!" Everyone claps and I see Rachel still not happy "Uhh last up! Tina and sugar!"
The two step into center stage. I can't see any emotion on either ones face. This competition may be hopeless. New York may just be a trip.
-Tina-Sugar-
Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to DeNiro, but I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere
I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicanos
Right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stash spot, 560 State St
Catch me in the kitchen like the Simmons' whipping Pastry
Cruisin' down 8th St., off-white Lexus
Drivin' so slow, but BK is from Texas
Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me
Say what up to TyTy, still sippin' Mai Tai's
Sittin' courtside, Knicks & Nets give me high five
Sister, I be spiked out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from
In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York
New York
You're welcome OG. I made you hot
Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game
Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can
You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a Crip though
But I got a gang of people walkin' with my clique though
Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin' rock
Afrika Bambataa shit, home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back
For foreigners it ain't fair, they act like they forgot how to add
8 million stories, out there in the naked
City it's a pity, half of y'all won't make it
Me, I got a plug Special Ed "I Got It Made"
If Jeezy's payin' LeBron, I'm payin' Dwyane Wade
Three-dice Cee-lo, three-card Monte
Labor Day Parade, rest in peace Bob Marley
Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade
Long live the King yo, I'm from the Empire State that's
In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York
New York
That boy good. Welcome to the bright light, baby
Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
Or they could step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is
Lined with casualties, who sip to life casually
Then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple, Eve
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style
And it the winter gets cold, in Vogue with your skin out
City of sin, it's a pity on a whim
Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them
Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion
The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien
In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York
New York
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty
No place in the world that could compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" (c'mon, c'mon)
I'm from
In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York
New York
"That was wonderful!" Everyone cheers "We are going to go over our votes and get back!"
We turn the mic off "I vote sugar and Tina" I give Rachel a look and she holds her hands up in surrender "They were good!"
"You can't judge if you won't be unbiased" I look around at everyone "That goes to each of you"
"Honestly I agree with Rachel" Judy turns her paper toward me "They were better in my opinion"
"I had San and Britt" Holly turns the paper toward me "I think they could be the best"
"I had Lucy and Sam" Maribel sighs "It's up to you Shelby"
"Great" I sigh and look at my paper "Love making these calls"
"You make it on the mic" Judy turns it on "We are giving the duet!"
I feel all eyes on me "The duet is going to" I look at each of them and shake my head "It's going to Sugar and Tina! But I want a different song please!"
"Yes mam!" Tina Turns toward Sugar "We got it!"
They hug and I smile. I'm glad that they are friendly now. I dismiss glee and collect the papers. I look at everyone's and see they all had the same minus Rachel. Why didn't they choose Lucy and Sam?
I'm thinking I may need new judges.
