And * sniff * he always helps us and gives us hope to live again. he is like the light of my happiness. Because of that, I want to sing this song because the lyrics of the song really depict my brother's character. my brother has an emotional problem and I want to show him that we care about him. "

"Well then show us your voice," said diana with a smile.
Ivy started singing this song.
I'm sure you're probably busy getting on with your new life
So far away from
So far away from
When everything we used to say was wrong
Is now alright
Where has the time gone?
Where has the time gone?
If you're ever feeling lonely
If you're ever feeling down
You should know you're not the only one
Because I feel it with you now
When the world is on your shoulders
And you're falling to your knees
Oh please
You know love will set you free
I took a long and lonely walk
Up to an empty house
That's where I've come from
Where have you come from?
The more I live the more I know
I've got to live without
But this ain't no sad song
Life has to go on
If you're ever feeling lonely
If you're ever feeling down
You should know you're not the only one
Because I feel it with you now
When the world is on your shoulders
And you're falling to your knees
Oh please
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
You know love, you know love
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
You know love will set you free
If you're ever feeling lonely
If you're ever feeling down
You should know you're not the only one
Because I feel it with you now
When the world is on your shoulders
And you're falling to your knees
Oh please
You know love will set you free
When ivy finished singing, she heard a loud applause. She saw they liked ivy. The jurors looked sad. Some of them want to look strong from all this but they fail because their eyes are red and tear.

"Well ivy I will give you 9 from me" said diana to ivy.
"9 also from me ivy." Said adam to ivy.
"10 from me too. I wish I could give you 100 hahaha. "Said james to ivy.
Ivy gets the highest score now. Opportunity to won is very promising now. She sees the audience clapping and cheering her on. she saw all this with pride. Though lincoln was not there to see it all, she was neither angry nor sad but she thanked her big brother. Without motivation and affection from lincoln, ivy probably will not be on this stage.
"Judges sorry before I leave, can I show you a short video to dedicated to my big brother?" Ivy said to the three juries.
"Owh go ahead. What is the titled of this short video ivy? "said diana to ivy.
"The film is titled " a happiness " This short video is dedicated to my big brother," said Ivy to Diana.
"Okay ivy. You can play your short video "said adam to ivy.
With that, ivy begins to play her short video dedicated to her big brother. the video is based on video started from lincoln who always gave money to a beggars. Ivy recording this from behind lincoln so lincoln has no problem whatsoever. Every time lincoln drove ivy to her school, lincoln always gave money to the beggar. The beggar is an old lady and a little girl. Lincoln saw a paper that said "for school". on the way home, lincoln also helps an elderly woman who sells food in carts. he helped push the cart. After that they decided to eat at a restaurant. When they want to eat they see a big, starving cat. The cat only saw them eat but lincoln gave his food to the big cat. This cat has a brown and white fur color.
"brother, why did you give your money to the beggar, help the old lady push her cart and feed that big cat ?"
"You will understand later ivy" said lincoln with a warm smile
Every day lincoln always do the same thing. he always gave money to that beggar, helped the old lady push her cart, feeding that big cat. Ivy does not know why her big brother doing this all day. Ivy sees that her big brother's wallet is empty and there's only about $ 20 but lincoln keeps doing the same thing every day. Ivy is confused as to why he's doing this. He did not become famous, rich or highlighted on tv. Until one day he wanted to give money to the beggar, he did not see the little girl sitting next to her mother. And then.
"mother"
he saw a little girl begging beside her mother in school clothes. Lincoln paused to see all of this including ivy. She recorded her brother standing there watching the little girl in a school uniform. Lincoln smiled at this. lincoln is proud to see she can go to school. finally ivy understand why lincoln do all this. After that he also saw the old lady who sell food on the cart was not selling food from cart anymore but with a food truck now. The old lady called lincoln and ivy to stop by her truck. ivy saw lincoln and the old lady was cooking Together with laughter. Ivy saw all this, there was a living message behind all this. When they want to eat at their favorite place, he sees that big cat again. as usual, lincoln gave the food to the big cat. But this time the cat did not eat the food but he was led by the big cat into the alley. Ivy followed him and saw the kittens that had nice fur colors. After that he brought the food to the kittens.
On the way home.
"Now you understand ivy?"
Ivy just smiled at Lincoln. Lincoln said.
"the reason I'm doing this all is because I want to help all of them without hoping to get anything. Indeed I'm not getting rich, famous or highlighted on tv but all we get is emotions. "Said Lincoln, pointing to the heart of Ivy.
"You can see happiness and feel the love of them and you will get something what money can't buy. This is life ivy. Kindness will spread happiness to anyone and goodness will make the world more beautiful. I hope you get this life message to your life "said lincoln with a big smile.
With that, this short video ends. Ivy saw people crying she saw her family crying to see her. she saw the family louds sad. In the eyes of ivy they are disgusting people, even though they are famous and successful, in the eyes of ivy they are the rotten people in this world. Ivy wants to show a video where they beat lincoln but she does not want to show the video because she has to understand her brother's feelings.
"Really * sniff * meaningful video," said the judge diana with red eyes and cries.
"Ivy. I hope I can meet your brother. "Said Adam with a warm smile
"yes. I also agree with adam. Sometimes bring your brother here we want to chat with him. "Said james with a warm smile
"I will sir. Thank you to all of you."
With it ivy left the stage and ivy gets loud applause and cheers from the audience. She was relieved to show this short video. Although this video is very short but the video is very meaningful to her. behind the stage she meets her three jurors. the three jurors asks for her phone number so they can talk to her brother.
After the event.
