Ok, I finally got the songs and now it is time for the contest. This will be really long, because there are several songs in this one. Changes are by me and the songs are not mine. They're by Miley Cyrus, Camp Rock and so forth. The changes are from me to make this more like they're talking about themselves. Review please!!
It was the day of the contest and everyone was taking their seats.
Jazz felt proud of herself, but was still a little nervous about her parents coming and hosting the Contest herself. She was also a judge, which meant that she had to judge each contestant by their skills and errors. It was also by the smoothness of their voice.
She saw her parents: Jack and Maddie, with their proud smiles and as always, her dad brought his equipment. This was gonna be a long day.
"Hey Jazzy pants," smiled Jack.
"I'm so proud of you, honey. This must be big for you," said Maddie.
"You have no idea," said Jazz nervously, "Dad, the rules say no ghost equipment."
"What? But why would they not allow ghost hunting equipment. You never know when there might be a ghost nearby," smirked Jack.
"Remember the Talent Show incident and my brother? I don't want any of my contestants to be harmed," glared Jazz.
"That was that ghost punk: Danny Phantom," told Jack.
"The police stated that the explosion killed Danny and even the Judges agree that it is a good benefit for the contestants' safety," glared Jazz stubbornly.
"Ugh, fine," agreed Jack in defeat as he put his ghost weapons on the table and were about to go in until Jazz stopped them.
"Dad," glared Jazz as Jack showed a grunt and got out other ghost weapons from his pockets, "The rules also state that there can't be interruptions in the Contest no matter if there are ghosts or not."
"This place is so picky. Just one time of a destruction and they think the world is coming to an end. It's not like I'm gonna try to hunt a contestant or something," complained Jack as him and his wife went inside.
"I beg to differ," whispered Jazz as she went backstage and saw everyone get ready.
"Hey Jazz," smiled Danny.
"Hey guys, are you all ready?" Asked Jazz.
"I am," called Mikey, "who's going first."
"I'm gonna start with Dash, but before we start singing. I'm gonna do a song on stage," told Jazz, "something personal I need to bring out."
Danny smiled as Jazz presented herself on stage with a guitar and the audience clapped excitedly.
Jazz could see everyone staring at her, including her parents. She felt a little nervous and knew what she had to do.
"Welcome to our Singing Contest. We will judge everyone by their character, skill, motivation, and most importantly, their talent. Now before we begin, there's a song I want to sing. You see, almost a year ago, my brother died from an accident at the Talent Show, some think Danny Phantom did it. Although, I beg to differ on that rumor. He actually encouraged me for this day to present this song to dedicate to my brother and even helped me get this contest started. This is for you, Danny," announced Jazz and then started playing her guitar and sang, "Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la, you used to call me your sissy. Said I was sent straight down from heaven, You'd hold me close when you're scared, I loved the way you felt so strong, I never wanted you to leave, I wanted you to stay here right by me.
I miss you, I miss your smile, and I still shed a tear, every once and a while. And even though it's different now, you're still here somehow, my heart won't let you go, and I need you to know, I miss you Sha la la la la, I miss you.
You used to call me a dreamer, and now I'm living out my dream. Oh how I wish you could see, everything that's happening for me. I'm thinking back on the past. It's true time is flying but too fast.
I miss you, I miss your smile, and I still shed a tear, every once and a while. And even though it's different now, you're still here somehow, my heart won't let you go, and I need you to know, I miss you Sha la la la la, I miss you.
I know you're in a better place, yeah, but I wish I could see your face, oh, I know you're where you need to be, even though it's not here with me.
I miss you, I miss your smile, and I still shed a tear, every once and a while. And even though it's different now, you're still here somehow, my heart won't let you go, and I need you to know, I miss you, sha la la la la. I miss you, I miss your smile, and I still shed a tear, every once and a while. And even though it's different now, you're still here somehow, my heart won't let you go, and I need you to know, I miss you, sha la la la la. I miss you."
Everyone clapped and some even cried.
Jazz could see her mother crying with the memories sweeping through her head and thinking of the one black haired boy that would be in her arms, was now gone for good.
She could not see that behind the curtains, Danny was also shedding a few tears. He knew that Jazz really missed him and he also knew that this moment would be the only time he would ever show his parents he wasn't gone forever.
Jazz took the microphone and then announced, "now may I present to you, Dash Baxter."
Dash came up one stage with that proud look on his face as Danny rolled his eyes.
"This is a story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world, and while she looked so sad in photographs, I absolutely love her, when she smiles.
Now how many days in a year? She woke up with hope, but only found tears. I can be so insincere. Making her promises never for real. As long as she stands there waiting, wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes. Now how many days disappear, when you look in the mirror? So how do you choose? Your clothes never wear as well the next day, and your hair never falls in quite the same way. You never seem to run out of things to say.
This is a story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world, and while she looked so sad in photographs, I absolutely love her, when she smiles.
Now how many lovers would stay, to put up with this stuff, day after day. Now how did we wind up this way, watching our mouths for the words that we say? As long as we stay here waiting, wearing the clothes and the soles that we choose. Now how do we get here today, when we're walking too far for the price of our shoes. Your clothes never wear as well the next day, and your hair never falls in quite the same way. You never seem to run out of things to say.

Everyone clapped for the song while Jazz and the two other judges wrote their scores.
This wasn't American Idol where the judges said what they thought. They just wrote their scores and announced the winner at the end of the contest.
Jazz went up and then announced, "that was great, Dash. Now give it up for our next contestant."
Everyone clapped as Geek Girl #2 came up on stage and was ready to sing her song.
"Do you believe in magic, in a young girl's heart? How the music can free her, whenever it starts, and it's magic, if the music is groovy, it makes you feel happy like an old time movie. I'll tell ya about the magic. It'll free your soul, but it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll.
If you believe in magic, don't bother to choose. If it's jug band music or rhythm in blues, just go and listen. It'll start with a smile. It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try. Your feet start tapping, and you can't seem to find, how you got there, so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me, we'll dance until morning, just you and me, and maybe, if the music is right. I'll meet ya tomorrow, so late at night. We'll go a dancin' baby then you'll see, all the magic's in music and the music's in me, yeah. Do you believe in magic? Yeah.
Believe in the magic in a young girl's soul. Believe in the magic of rock n roll. Believe in the magic that can set you free, ohhhh, talkin' 'bout magic.
Do you believe like I believe? Do you believe in magic?" Sang Geek Girl #2 as the audience clapped cheerly.
Danny smiled and then walked towards his girlfriend who was putting on her makeup.
"You nervous?" Asked Danny.
"A little," nodded Sam as she gave a quaint smile.
"What do you think Mom and Dad will think when they hear me sing?" Asked Danny.
"Who knows Danny, who knows?" Shrugged Valerie, "they'll probably think you're trying to bomb the stage."
Sam and Valerie laughed, but Danny stayed quiet at first, then made a fake laugh. He was really believing that his parents would think he was gonna bomb the stage. It'd be so like them to do that.
"Yeah . . . bomb the stage," muttered Danny, then floated on his way off, "I can't do this, my parents will kill me by the time I'm finished."
"You're not thinking of quiting are you?" Asked Star who just entered backstage, "after all the hard work you put through this?"
"What are you doing here?" Asked Danny.
"My aunt came late, but the real reason I didn't join was because I was scared of losing Paulina's friendship, but you taught me something that I think you are forgetting by leaving here," answered Star.
"What's that?" Asked Danny.
"They tell you a good girl is quiet, that you should never ask why, 'cause it only makes it harder to fit in. You should be happy, excited, even if you're just invited, 'cause the winners need someone to clap for them. It's so hard just waiting, in a line that never moves, it's time you started making, your own rules.
You gotta scream until there's nothing left, with your last breath, so here I am, here I am. Make 'em listen, 'cause there's no way you'll be ignored, not anymore, so here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am," sang Star as Danny was about to exit until Star grabbed his shoulder and then his head turned, "You only get one life to work it, so who cares if it's not perfect, I say it's close enough to perfect for me. Why should you hide from the thunder, and the lightning that you're under, 'cause there ain't nobody else you want to be? If how your living isn't working, there's one thing that will help. You gotta finally stop searching, to find yourself.
You gotta scream until there's nothing left, with your last breath, so here I am, here I am. Make 'em listen, 'cause there's no way you'll be ignored, not anymore, so here I am, here I am, here I am.
The world better make some room, yeah move over, over, 'cause your coming through, 'cause your coming through.
You gotta scream until there's nothing left, with your last breath, so here I am, here I am. Make 'em listen, 'cause there's no way you'll be ignored, not anymore, so here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am."
Danny stood there emotionlessly while Star kept her hand on his shoulder.
"You tell me not to do the same mistake you did. It's my turn to say that," said Star, "I wanted to be popular to win you back, but I gave up, because I was scared that I would lose the friends I ganged. What I didn't realize, was that they weren't really my true friends and now the only true friends I have are the people here. That's why I'm here. I may've not gotten my goal, but I got something better. I have a great boyfriend, my best friend, and most importantly, my two old friends I once lost. Don't give up something you worked so hard for or you'll never get it back."
Danny smiled and gave Star a friendly hug and promised, "I'm not gonna give up, Star. Not this moment."
"That's the Danny I know," smiled Star as they walked backstage where everyone was standing around talking like a big gossip was going on and everyone just had to know.
Valerie was the first person to notice Star backstage.
"Hey girlfriend, I thought you were with your aunt," said Valerie.
"She drove here and the real reason I didn't sign up was because I didn't want to lose my popular friends. I don't want to be Paulina's servant and I like the friends I have right now and the ones I ganged back. I guess my instincts told me not to do the same mistake I did in my 8th grade year," explained Star.
"I'm proud of you. How's Paulina taking it?" Asked Valerie.
"Well . . . I didn't tell her yet, but there will be some questioning if she ever sees me here," told Star.
"I hope she gets what she deserves," glared Sam with folded arms.
"Oh my gosh, I completely forgot that my song is a duet," panicked Danny while smacking his forehead with his bottom palm.
"What?" Surprised Sam, "but you don't have time to find another person and I can't go, because they won't let someone sing in two different contestants."
"I can go," volunteered Star.
"She does have a good voice," shrugged Valerie.
"Then it's settled," smiled Danny as Star grinned.
