The contestants slept peacefully in there cabins, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. (1)
When the peace was broken by the wickedly familiar laugh of...Izzy? "Wake up guys!" She cackled over the speaker. "You got a big day ahead of you!" A male voice declared; said voice belonged to none other then Trent. "Meet by the amphitheatre in twenty minutes; bring what you need to perform." The rather shrill voice of Courtney announced.
The contestants shuffled out of bed but gathered there stuff together none the less.
At the Amphitheatre
Chris stood on the stage well the contestants were seated in the bleachers, in front of the stage there was a table with three chairs put behind it so they faced the stage, Chris cleared his throat and plastered on a trade mark smile, and spoke into a megaphone. "Welcome to your first challenge! As you know you will all be singing us a song today. You will be judged by previous campers and, if you were listening to the announcements this morning you should know who they are. However I would like to reintroduce, Izzy!" The red head bounced out from behind the curtains smilingly manically. "Trent!" The musician waved. "And Courtney!" The tanned girl came out only to be greeted by very few smiles, she looked down for a moment before smiling meekly.
The three ex-contestants stepped of the stage and took there seats at the table Izzy on the right, Trent in the middle and Courtney on the left.
Chris spoke again, "We chose these judges for certain reasons, Izzy because she is a fan favourite. Trent is the contestant favourite and Courtney because everything about her screams Rachel Berry. Before we get on with the challenge, the fans have been dying to know the drama between all of you guys. So do you mind giving us the scoop because we have been sent numerous threatening letters."
Izzy cackled, "Did you get mine?"
"Yes, Izzy only you would send a letter that ticked."
"I thought it would be fun!" Izzy smiled, "Well, Izzy hasn't been up to much but she got back together with Big O because Izzy realized that she was really bored without Owen and that Brainzilla was really mean to make Izzy dump Owen. Now Izzy goes on all sorts of adventures with Owen and Noah."
Trent grinned, "Well, the drama brothers toured for a little bit, which was really cool. I also repaired my friendship with Gwen after the break up."
Courtney snorted, "I think you guys have a little more then friendship."
Trent smiled sheepishly, "I was getting to that, Duncan and Gwen remained a couple for a little while however they eventually came to the mutually decision to break-up simply because they were better off as friends and had lingering feelings for there exes Courtney and myself respectively. So Gwen and I got back together, though I'm not sure about Courtney and Duncan."
Courtney swallowed, "It just had to get to this didn't it? Well, Duncan and I are not together, simply because I can't trust him. I have also repaired my friendship with Gwen because I realized it wasn't really her fault, it took a lot of work but I am no longer trying to murder either of them.
Izzy nodded, "As for the other contestants all the couples are still together, DJ was reunited with his mom, Ezekiel and Alejandro are back to normal and Heather and Alejandro are currently sending each other love/hate letters." (2)
Chris clapped his hands together, "Right! Well let's get this show on the road! First we will have everyone perform; after each person performs they will get comments from the judges, however, they will not get there scores till all twenty-two contestants have performed. The boys will then do the same. The best six and the worst six will be announced and the duets will begin. Understood?" The contestants nodded, "Alright we'll draw for spots and then start singing!"
Summer
"First up, Summer Joy Hawkins!" Chris shouted, earning much applause from the male contestants. Well, most of them…
"Oh, Come On!" Garrett shouted, standing up from his seat in the back row. "You only choose her first because she's the eye candy."
"And your point is?" Chris asked, causing everyone to look at Garrett with raised eyebrows.
"…Nothing." Garrett mumbled, slouching back down in his chair.
"Alright Summer, what are you singing?" Chris asked as she took her place.
"I will be singing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' by Britney Spears ", Summer said smiling.
"Wooooooo! Go Summer!" Zakk exclaimed, clapping and screaming while the audience looked at him as if he were a madman.
Summer blushed, pushing a lose strand of brown hair behind her ear. "Thanks Zakk, but I haven't started yet."
"Oh…." Zakk said, causing the others to erupt into snickers and giggles.
Smiled and turned around as the music began. Summer began to sing she had a sweet but fierce voice with her Southern accent coming out a bit, she sounded similar to Jessie James, Deanna Carter and Rihanna.
Oh baby, baby
She spun around, her hair falling back behind her.
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That somethin' wasn't right?
Oh baby, baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're outta sight
As Summer continued singing, she began strutting around the stage. She danced as if she were the only one in a club trying to seduce the man she wanted. All of the guys' jaws immediately dropped.
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now
Oh because
My loneliness is killin' me
I must confess I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign, hit me baby one more time
The girls huffed, crossing their arms or rolling their eyes. Thoughts of "Who does she think she is?", "That Skank", and "Where did she get that outfit?" running through their heads. As the song came to a close, Summer made her way back to center stage.
I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe?
That you will be here and give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
My loneliness is killin' me
I must confess I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
She spins around one final time, and drops to her knees.
Give me a sign; hit me baby one more time!
The crowd was silent. Everyone stared at Summer as she took in deep breathes. Finally someone shouted…
"Go Summer!"
Izzy finished clapping, well actually she wasn't exactly clapping she was making the clapping motion but would draw back her hands just before they made contact. "That was awesome sauce! Izzy thought it was great and Izzy thinks Summer had fun Britneying it up."
Summer flushed, "How did you know about that?"
Izzy cackled, "Izzy has her ways."
Trent grinned, "I can assure you she really doesn't have that many ways."
"You'd be surprised." Izzy said.
This statement just confused Trent, "Whatever Izzy, anyway I thought you did a really good job I can tell you really like to dance."
Summer smiled, "Hell yeah! I've been dancing for thirteen years!"
"It shows." Courtney said. "You are a really good dancer not a fantastic voice but all the same you did a good job."
Summer smiled, "Thanks." And on that note she returned to her seat.
Chris walked onto stage, "Next up is..."
Daniella
Daniella walked on to stage slightly nervous, "Hi! I'm Daniella big fan of all of you, Trent being my personal smile." The musician gave her a smile. "So anyway, I will be singing 'Single Ladies' originated by Beyonce but it did appear on glee though not technically sung." She took a deep breath and started to sing very well.
Daniella was indeed doing the infamous 'Single Ladies' dance. Well she sang she put her right hand on her hip and her left hand out and bent her knees from side to side in a motion similar to Beyonce's.
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up
After she put her hands up she began to shimmy her hips from side to side well both hands were firmly planted on her hips. She wavered slightly as she brought as she brought her knee in towards her.
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
She squated down before raising her hands in an upwards motion as she raised herself up.
acting up, drank in my cup
I could care less what you think
She made a little motion acting as if she was drinking. She then swung a hand to her hip and waved her index finger back an forth as if to say 'no.'
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
She brought both hands to her hips and leaned forward slightly, before sicking out her right hand in a motion that said 'stop' before taking that hand and just waving it off.
'Cuz you had your turn But now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me
She jerked a thumb towards herself, before pointing at the judges. And then in true Kurt Hummel fashion she swept her bangs from her face. Before going back to the dance for the course only stumbling slightly.
'Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Oh, oh oh...(3)
When Daniella finished she grinned sheepishly at the judges who all began to applaud making the British girl turn red. Chris walked on stage, also clapping (though it may have been for show – you can never truly tell with Chris). The host cleared his throat, "Thank you Daniella! Judges thoughts?"
Izzy was smiling widely, "Well Izzy loved it! She thought you sang really well and liked your little stumbles when you danced, it was original! E-scope liked it too. Explosivo wanted more Boom! Boom! though."
Daniella arched an eyebrow, "Does she mean figuratively or literally?"
"You never know with Izzy," Trent answered. "I also really liked it; you are a fantastic singer and a good dancer. My biggest thing is I would have loved to see you sing a song with a good note for you to belt at the end."
Courtney smiled, "I have to agree with Trent you are a great singer but, your dancing was a little off. The song choice wasn't great but it certainly wasn't terrible but, I think there was a better song for you."
Chris clapped his hands together, "Thanks judges, time for out next performer..."
Angela
The Goth girl stepped onto the stage, "Hey, I'm Angela." She gave a little wave. "I'll be singing Like a Prayer by Madonna." The music started and she opened her mouth and began to sing she had a strong voice similar to that of Christina Aguilera, Pink and Mya.
Angela stood on stage arms by her side, her eyes gently closed; she began to lift her arms up just slightly.
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
Angela opened her eyes, and just began to sway to the music.
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
You could tell the girl was very into the singing as opposed to dancing, she just swayed to the music, maybe talking a few little steps, a few little arm motions here and there. But all the real energy was in her voice.
I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice
I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky
I close my eyes
Heaven, help me
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
Angela continued to sing, it seemed as though she had forgotten that the audience was even there, it was just her and the music.
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control
Just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me
It's like a dream
As she sang this line the background sounded if it had indeed added a choir.
Let the choir sing
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
At this point you could see a few people starting to clap along with the rhythm of the song.
When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I want to take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there
Angela was now smiling as she sang, she herself was clapping along with a majority of the audience.
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
As she finished the last note the audience burst into applause.
Once the noise died down Izzy spoke, "Izzy loved it! I thought it was better then the time, me, Noah and Owen went on a ride on Noah's flying unicorn!"
Courtney quirked an eyebrow, "Uh, right... Well, anyway I really liked it. I could tell you liked the song and you seem to really love to sing."
Trent smiled, "I think Courtney just about summed it up, it was fantastic and what's more Courtney didn't criticise it once."
The C.I.T. glared at Trent, "I resent that! And another thing-"
Chris cleared his throat sensing that Courtney was getting ready to rant, "Alright, next up is..."
Emily
Emily stepped onto the stage, she was all ready her show face was on and she was prepared to sing her heart out. "Hello I'm Emily Johansen; I am a big fan of all of you." This was a lie she thought Trent was a loser and Izzy was a nut job, but she was determined to stay on top. "I will be singing Don't Rain on my Parade it was sung by the amazing Barbra Streisand in the Broadway musical and later the movie musical 'Funny Girl.' This song has a special meaning to me I've been singing it since I was two. Now without further ado." Emily began to sing a rather fierce glint in her eyes. Emily walked down stage as the music rang out and then she sang; the girl continued to walk down stage curving to her right ever so slightly.
Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Life's candy
And the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade
She continued to walk down stage and as she walked you could see she was headed for the stairs.
Don't tell me not to fly
I simply got to
She pointed to herself before quickly pointing towards the audience.
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Who told you
You're allowed to rain on my parade
Emily had reached the stairs and was no preceding to walk down them.
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
She had made her way behind the judges table and was facing her fellow compettitors. The next line prompted her to just point a finger at Griffin and then Gabe.
Your turn at that, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
She headed back toward the stage but continued to face the audience.
But whether I'm the rose
Of sheer perfection
She promptly tapped herself on the nose, before raising her arms above her head as she held the last note of the verse.
A freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
She headed up the left side stairs and quickly turned to face the other teens.
I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
And right on cue she pointed gently at Trent and then at Garrett.
Only can die once, right, sir
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir
Gracefully she moved around the stage taking sidesteps when appropriate, moving backwards in time.
Get ready for me love
Cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade
If it wasn't already clear before this was the moment people really realized Emily was very into the song. She held the last note of the verse once again raising her arms above her head.
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham!
One shot, one gun shot and bam
Hey Total Drama, here I am!
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at that, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
Now standing at the very front of the stage, she held the very last note of the song finishing with a raise of the hands.
Get ready for me love
Cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Nobody, no nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade
Emily was no panting show face still on as the contestants clapped but, not in the same way they did for Angela or Daniela but in a way that said 'It was good, just not all that fun.'
Izzy smiled, "I liked it, and Explosivo even thought you had the Boom! Boom! But, did you have fun? Izzy always says 'Live, Have Fun and Boom! Boom!'"
Trent smiled, "Of course you do Izzy, well I thought it was fantastic and you certainly took advantage of your surroundings and I did like the little audience interactions but, I have to ask have you actually talked to any of the people you interacted with?"
Emily stiffened not expected anything less then praise much less questioning of her performance, "Well, it's the second day here I honestly haven't had many conversations much less many worth while ones."
At this Griffin rolled his eyes, an action that did not go unnoticed by Daniela who leaned over to Gabe and whispered in a taunting voice, "You are so gonna owe me ten bucks."
This received a, "Mmm-hmm you keep thinking that but you didn't see him during Angela's performance."
"Alright, whatever you say." Was the sarcastic reply he got back.
Courtney spoke up next, "That is understandable you don't have the most interesting conversations at first. Well, I really liked your performance and I enjoyed that it did mirror Lea Michele's a bit and I liked your improvisation. It was really well done."
In the stands
Emily took her seat next to Griffin, the crowd cheering from her recent performance. She smiled at her audience, before casting a satisfied grin towards him.
"Still think my performance was lacking soul and heart?" she asked, crossing her legs and sitting up right.
"Yup, about as much as I think Lindsey still lacks the ability to get the point." Griffin replied, a smirk on his face.
Emily huffed, and rolled her eyes. "Oh, what do you know about singing and performing anyway?"
Griffin shrugged the smirk still on his face. "You'd actually be surprised…"
"Next up…Griffin J. Carter!" Chris shouted through his megaphone.
"Looks like we're about to find out." Emily said her arms crossed as she watched Griffin get up on stage.
Griffin
"You ready dude?" Trent asked.
Griffin nodded, "Yes, but before I begin…can I get a girl to come up on stage?"
Emily raised her eyebrow. 'What is he up to?' she thought, sitting forward.
As Angela came up on stage, Griffin smiled. "Thank you..."
"Umm, you know this isn't the duet part yet….right?" Chris questioned as he began to step off the stage.
"She's not performing with me…" Griffin replied, taking his position on stage. Chris shrugged, and continued walking.
Griffin cleared his throat, picking up the Mic as the music started.
Emily smirked, "He is so gonna lose…."
Oh yeah!
Emily's smirk dropped into an immediate shocked frown.
Oh yeah!
Griffin jumped from his stiff position in the middle of the stage, into one of a natural born performer.
So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up, I'd rather let them be…
As he continued singing, he looked over at Angela. She smiled, and caught on to his act; beginning to dance and walk around on stage as if she was the girl he was referring to in the song. He smirked, and walked after her, busting out some cool and quick dance moves along the way.
So let me be, and I'll set you free!
I am in misery
There ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah!
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back….
As the other contestants begin to cheer, or dance in their seat to the song, Emily sat…stunned.
'He's good…He's really good…..' She thought, looking around at the crowd around her.
You say your faith is shaken, and you may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused, so far away from you
I'm getting there, I don't care where I have to roam
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah?
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?
As he brought the song to an end, he caught up with Angela and they began dancing together.
I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back!
The contestants cheered, standing up out of their seats. Griffin smirked, giving Angela a flirtatious wink as she took her seat.
All three of the ex-contestants had smiles on there face.
Izzy voiced her opinion first, "Izzy thought it was supermegafoxyawesomehot! Izzy thinks you looked natural on stage and that you and Angela looked good together!" (4)
Trent grinned, "Well I'm not sure about supermegafoxyawesomehot but it was definitely good, you're a performer dude."
Even Courtney smiled, "Well the whole thing was very intriguing, and certainly original, if anything you'll be very memorable when we give you your scores.
Griffin grinned, "Thanks." He then returned to his seat.
"So did you enjoy it?" Griffin asked, enjoying the small glare that Emily shot his way.
Natalia
Natalia approached the stage a confident smile on her face, she was a singer for goodness sakes this was what she was made for! She was center stage still smiling she greeted the judges, "Hi, I'm Natalia I am a huge fan of all of you. I'll be singing Taking Chances originally by the amazing Celine Dion. I really, really hope you enjoy it!"
She opened her mouth and the lyrics just poured out she sounded similar to Aretha Franklin and Celine Dion.
Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world but
Don't want to be alone tonight
On this planet they call earth.
Natalia was still smiling, she was 'in the zone' so to speak and everyone knew it.
You don't know about my past
And I don't have a future figured out
And maybe this is going too fast
And maybe it's not meant to last
Like Angela she simply swayed gently to the music and tapped her foot to the beat, it was quite obvious she really didn't feel the need for extravagant dance moves.
But what do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
I just want to start again
Maybe you can show me how to try
Maybe you could take me in
Somewhere underneath your skin
What do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say? She softly held the last note before being greeted by the applause of her fellow contestants.
Izzy was still clapping rapidly, so rapidly her hands were a complete blur but she commented anyway, "Whoa! Are you a professional, it sure sounds so. You even impressed Brainzilla and she's harder to impress then Heather! That says something."
Trent nodded, "Heather might actually have been impressed with that, I mean she wouldn't admit but she'd definitely be impressed, I know I was you really have talent. I'm guessing you've been singing for a long time."
Natalia nodded, "I've been singing forever, it really is my life."
Courteny grinned, "I know what you mean, and I could really tell you love what you do and you have fun with it."
Natalia smiled and returned to her seat. Chris walked back on to the stage and spoke into his megaphone, "Alright dudes, next up is..."
Gabriel
Gabriel walked onto stage a nervous smile on his face. He faced the judges, "Hi I'm Gabe, I'm a big fan and today I'll be singing Imagine by John Lennon. Man I kinda feel like I'm auditioning for American Idol or-"
Gabe was cut off by Chris running onto stage shouting into his megaphone, prompting everyone to cover there ears, "Dude! You can't just losely use words like that, everytime you mention a major franchise we could get sued!"
Will raised an eyebrow, "I don't think that's true..."
Chris turned to hm, "Well I'm not risking it."
Zakk smirked rather evily, "Wait so your saying every time me mention, Macdonalds or Ipods," He soon began to list things on his fingers, "or Wal-mart or-"
"Shut up!" Chris whined into the megaphone.
Gabe slowly raised his hand, "Can I sing now?"
Chris waved him off, "Sure, whatever, I'm gonna make sure we don't get sued." He sent Zakk one final glare before marching off stage.
Gabe shook his head, "Is he always like this?" The ex-contestants nodded, "Alright, I guess I should sing now." Once he received another set of nods he began to sing he sounded similar to Secondhand Serenade's John Vesely.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as one
The backround music was accenting Gabe's voice quite nicely, he seemed very serene on stage which actually made som of the audience seem happier.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
You may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day
You'll join us
And the world will be as oneHe finished the song with a smile on his face.
Izzy was also smiling, a shockingly calm smile, "Whoa, Izzy feels happy you were really pushing off some good vibes."
Trent nodded, "I see what you mean Iz, it's surprisingly calm, especially considering your in the room," Izzy grinned manically at this. "The song was solid, you've got a nice voice."
"I don't normallly beleive in the whole 'good vibes' thing." Courtney said putting air quotes around the words 'good vibes'. "But that performance kind of made me feel warm and fuzzy. And you have a nice voice so that is a factor."
Chris walked back onto stage, "Does anyone else feel like they just got a hug from there grandma?" He quickly shook his head and raised the megaphone to his mouth, "Alright next up is..."
Will
Will walked onto the stage, he smiled politely at the judges, "Hey I'm Will, I'll be singing a mash-up of 'Don't Stand so Close to Me' and 'Young Girl'."
The lyrics flowed out as soon as he opened his mouth, he had an alright voice, it was obvious he did spend a ton of time singing but he was certainly decent.
Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Young girl, you're out of your mind
Your love for me is way out of line
Better run girl,
You're much too young girl
Will didn't move much, he kind of paced the stage a bit, but stopped after he stumbled after a particularly sharp turn.
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
Get out of here
Before you have the time
To change your mind
'Cause I'm afraid you'll go too far
Will's voice cracked ever so slightly at ths point but he just worked past it.
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Young girl, you're out of your mind
Your love for me is way out of line
Better run girl,
You're much too young girlHe finished the song relatively happy with how he did, 'Could have been worse.' He thought.
Izzy smiled slightly, "Well Izzy liked it but Izzy thought Will stumbled a bit and wasn't great with the dancing."
Will nodded, "I kind of have two left feet."
"Izzy noticed, but you had a good voice but, Izzy thought that song was for like a thirty year old to sing not a sixteen year old, unless you have a little eight year old following you everywhere, that happened to Izzy once his name was Elvendork and-"
"Right, well I thought you were pretty good." Trent cut in. "But I agree the song felt a little old for you."
Will nodded, "Well I would have just sung 'Don't Stand so Close to me' but glee felt the need to turn it into a mash-up."
Courtney frowned, "Well personally I think you should have chose a different song then, this one didn't really fit your voice as it is."
Will walked off stage, just as Chris called up the next contestant...
Lois
The stage was entered by Lois, wearing an extravagant shiny blue single pieced dress, walking in front of the microphone. She waved at the audience, and then shouted, "Hit it!"
The music started playing through the broken looking speakers off to the side of the stage.
Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah! Lois took off the mike from the stand, and started walking across the stage, leaning forward slightly, and singing to the audience. She began singing pretty well, in a pretty average voice.
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance
I want your ugly
I want your disease Lois pointed towards the audience, prancing towards the audience's seats to her right
I want your everything
As long as it's free She waved her arm in an arc out in front of herself
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love She beat her hand against her chest for each "Love", right above on her heart, walking back to the middle of the stage
I want your psycho Lois twirled her hand beside her temple, in a "crazy" indication, walking to the left side of the stage
Your vertical stick
Want you in my room
When your baby is sick She curled her finger towards James, rhetorically asking him to come towards her. He stared at her, flabbergasted.
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love She beat her hand against her heart again, pointing towards the audience at the end.
You know that I want you
And you know that I need you She bent down onto one knee, and dramatically acting out the "Need You" to the audience, and getting back up for the next line.
I want it bad, bad romance
I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance She turned walked in a semi circle around the stage until her back was to the audience, then turning around at "Bad Romance"
I want your loving
All your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance She walked as if she was on a runway towards the front of the stage, stomping her left foot when she reached the front
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance Lois turned around, and walked far up the stage, until she almost touched the wood, then turned to face the audience
Walk walk fashion baby
Work it move that thing crazy
Walk walk fashion baby
Work it move that thing crazy
Walk walk fashion baby
Work it move that thing crazy
Walk walk passion baby
Work it Imma Freak baby She slowly took a step forward with each line she sang
I want your love
And I want your revenge
I want your love
I don't wanna be friends She leaned forward at the waist, and sang out to the crowd
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Want your bad romance
Caught in a bad romance
Want your bad romance Lois punched her arm high in the air twice
I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your loving
and all your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance She danced across the stage pointing to the audience, and punching her arm in the air from time to time
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance Lois stopped dancing, and turned to the front of the stage.
Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance! She ended with her hand punching the air twice for the last two words.
The other contestants cheered at her performance; Lois smiled, and turned to the judges, "What did you think?"
Izzy cackled, "That was epic, another supermegafoxyawesomehot performance!"
Lois smiled, "Thanks Izzy and I am a huge fan." 'Too easy' she thought to herself.
Trent grinned, "Well the dance moves were fantastic and your voice was good the performance was very well put together."
"Thank-you, you have no idea how much that means coming from you." She sent him a flirtatious wink. 'Sucker'
Courtney smiled, "Well it was another memorable performance for sure and you have a nice voice, there was the occasional kink but over all it was good."
"Thank you so much Courtney!" 'Idiots'
Chris walked back onto stage, "Alright next up..."
Zakk
Zakk hears his name being said to come on up, he turns to Summer and gives her a smirk to which she gives one back.
"Good luck" She says to which Zakk smiles and nods his head as he goes up.
Zakk gets on stage and looks at the crowd, ready to see him do his song, takes a deep breath and snaps his fingers to which the lights dimmer enough to make the stage go black, then the slow guitar riff of the song is heard before the lights come up and Zakk is seen, on his knees, looking at the ground, his guitar around his body as he plays it.
Then Zakk starts to sing in a growl like, but mellow tone, like Mike Patton from "Faith No More".
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to Zakk starts move his head to the beat
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner Zakk stands up and starts slowly walking around the stage, playing the guitar while singing
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much Zakk starts to put his hands on his head, feeling it all over
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream Zakk's voice starts getting to get louder and louder
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing Zakk puts down his guitar and gets back on his knees and keeps moving his hands on his head
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream. Here, Zakk stops singing and gets stands-up as people are clapping their hands at his performance, with Summer clapping the most.
Zakk smirks and brings his arms up. "Yeah! R.E.M. motherf*ckers!" He yells, in contrast of how he sang the song.
Izzy grinned; she had been head banging the entire song despite no one else doing it. "That was rockin' Izzy hasn't rocked that hard since the time she met Metallica at this concert when she was running from the RCMP."
Trent smiled, "Dude, I gotta say that was great you are a rocker, no doubt about it and you owned that."
Courtney grinned a little, "Well I didn't appreciate the swearing considering it is a family show, but I must say you did well with the song and you seemed to know it well."
Zakk nodded, "That's for sure glee may be a shitty show but that on song was actually alright." He grinned at the judges one last time before going back to his spot.
Chris walked back on stage, "Next up we have..."
Brooke
The cheerleader bounced onto the stage, she was nervous but didn't let it show, she smiled warmly at the judges, "Hi! I'm Brooke. I'll be singing 'Hello Goodbye' by The Beatles. I am a huge Beatles fan so it only makes sense for me to sing one of there songs!"
She began to sing, she had a nice voice, definitely above average, and she sounded similar to Savannah Outen.
You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say helloBrooke was now walking down the stairs of the stage towards the stands. All her nerves were virtually gone and she seemed to be getting more and more comfortable with herself.
You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say helloBrooke was smiling alot at this point she was having fun with the performance she started to head back up the stairs a noticeable bounce in her step.
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, Hello
OoohShe finished the song on a nice note smile still on her face as she was greeted by applause.
Izzy clapped rapidly, "That was awesome! Izzy loves the Beatles she met George Harrison once she was at a big fancy Hollywood party and there he was eating a brownie so Izzy asked him where he got it." (5)
Trent rolled his eyes mockingly, "Alright Iz, I'm sure you also met Paul and Linda McCartney in a secret garden hidden in a convience store freezer." (5)
"How did Trent know?"
The musician sighed, "Whatever Izzy, anyway, you did great and The Beatles are always a solid choice. I really did like your voice you had a very nice tone."
Courtney nodded, "Very true, I'll admit when I'm not listening to classical I'll but on some Beatles. And I have to agree you've got a very nice voice and very rich tones."
Brooke's smile widened, "Thanks so much!" She then returned to her seat.
Chris not even bothering to walk all the way back on stage lifted the megaphone to his mouth, "Next up..."
Leila
The breakdancer walked onto the stage, she was rather nervous about the singing part of the challenge, she was fine with the performance in general but singing wasn't her forte. But she put on a smile anyway, "Hey I'm Leila and I'll be singing Rihanna's 'Take a Bow.'"
She began to sing and she sounded similar to Rihanna.
You look so dumb right now,
Standin' outside my house,
Tryin' to apologize,
You're so ugly when you cry,
Please, just cut it out.
She began to do a series of complex breakdancing moves impressing, Chris, the judges and the contestants.
In the stands Cole leaned over to Dash, "She's good."
Dash smiled, "I know."
"I mean she is really, really good."
"I know."
Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not,
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught,
But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin',
And now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closin',
That was quite a show
Very entertainin',
But it's over now
Go on and Take A Bow, ohh ohh.
And the award for the best lie goes to you
For makin' me believe that you could be faithful to me,
Let's hear your speech OUT? She held this note with a lot of power and soul. She was very into the performance she continued to do a series of complex dance moves.
And now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closin',
That was quite a show ,
Very entertainin',
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow.
But it's over now?She did one last move before ending the song and being greeted by a standing ovation.
"That was so cool, you have to teach Izzy how to do that!" Izzy declared.
Trent grinned, "Definitely, you have to teach us how to do that."
Leila smiled, "Deal."
Courtney nodded, "Well your singing wasn't fantastic but the performance in general was good and the dancing was amazing."
Leila smiled, "Thank you." And returned to her seat between Cole and Dash.
Chris walked back onto stage, "Alright next up is,"
Garrett
The blonde perfectionist walked onto stage, he was confident, cocky even he knew he was superior to all of these simpletons, he also knew he could easily impress these losers that that they dubbed the judges. But he put a smile on his face anyway and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Garrett Harrison I will be singing 'Gives you Hell' originally by 'The All-American Rejects' and it was sung by the character Rachel I beleive, though I could be wrong." 'Doubtful' he thought. Garrett had researched everything there was to know about every musical there was before he came here. "Now I guess I should start singing."
Courtney nodded, "Whenever you're ready."
Garrett began to sing he sounded similar to 'The All-American Rejects's' Tyson Ritter.
I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of placeGarrett, like Will, began to pace the stage, though he didn't stumble like Will.
When you see my face,
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.
Now where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?
You've never seemed so tense, love.
I've never seen you fall so hard.
And do you know where you are?He know like many before him began to work his way down to the stands.
And truth be told, I miss you.And in a fashion similar to Emily's Garrett pointed to James at this line.
And truth be told, I'm lying.
When you see my face,
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.
When you walk my way,
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.
If you find a man that's worth a damn,
and treats you well,
Then he's a fool,
You're just as well,
Hope it gives you hell.
I hope it gives you hell.He bagan to work his way back up the stairs.
In the stands Emily leaned over to Griffin and said, "You think I lack passion?" Her question was valid though he sounded good Garrett wasn't exactly as into his performance as others.
Now you'll never see
What you've done to me.
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me.
And here's all your lies,
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look that you wear so wellAnd then in a fashion exactly like Leila's he began to breakdance. No seriously, it was exactly like Leila's Garrett had basically memorized Leila's dance moves and was now performing them for the judges.
When you see my face,
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.
When you walk my way,
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.
If you find a man that's worth a damn,
and treats you well,
Then he's a fool,
You're just as well,
Hope it gives you hell.
When you see my face,
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.
When you walk my way,
Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.He stopped breakdancing at this point but to finish off his performance he pointed to his ring finger in a Beyonce like style.
The judges and contestants gave the blonde a hearty round of applause well everyone except Izzy who was looking rather confused, "Does anyone else feel a total Deja Vu?"
Trent nodded, "I know what you mean, it's kind of creepy."
Courtney rolled her eyes, "I have no idea what you two are talking about, and even so we're not here to hunt ghosts we're here to judge performances."
Izzy shook her head, "Whatever Izzy knows what Izzy felt, but Izzy thought you were great anyway so Izzy guesses it doesn't really matter."
Trent nodded, "You were definitely good and you definitely know how to dance."
"You were fantastic. You have a nice voice and really know how to dance." Courtney said.
Garrett smiled and returned to his seat next to James.
In the Stands
James raised an eyebrow and turned to the boy sitting next to him, "Dude, did you seriously just get away with copying half the performances?"
Garrett turned to him, "One, never ever call me 'dude', two I did not copy them I just happened to mirror some elements of there performance."
"Whatever man." James said causing Garrett to send him a glare.
Chris walked back onto stage, "alright next up we have..."
Duke
Duke walked onto stage ready to outshine all of the contestants, he was now standing front and center, "Hello ladies." He sent Courtney and Izzy a flirtatious wink who both giggled uncharacteristically and blushed. "And Trent." He said this with a tone of disgust causing the musician to send him a confused look. "What can I say? You're, to quote the lovely Courtney, a loser by choice."
Hearing this Trent sent a glare Courtney's way who shrugged in reply, "If it helps I'm now Team Trent."
"Izzy's Team Eva!" The insane redhead declared.
Duke rolled his eyes, "Alright well I will be singing Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' it is one of the few songs that terrible show has covered that isn't a complete assault to my ears."
With that cheerful note Duke began to sing he had a good voice, it was heavy with vocal training.
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tearsDuke began to walk down teh stairs of the stage heading in the direction of the judges table.
Turn around, every now and then, I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes He approached Courtney and held out his hand as if to say 'May I have the dance?' the mocha skinned judge nodded and took his hand.
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apartDuke began to formally dance with Courtney.
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it rightDuke continued dance with Courtney before giving her a little twirl towards her chair and grabbing Izzy's hand and dancing with the crazy ginger.
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight He pulled the same spinning move on Izzy and grabbed a surprised Trent's hand and began to dance with him in a mocking fashion.
Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyesHe returned the flabberghasted musician to his seat and walked back on to stage.
"Well, what did you think?" An expectant Duke asked.
Courtney smiled, "Well I thought you were great and it was a lot of fun."
Izzy nodded, "Yeah, I thought it was great."
Trent gasped slightly, "Um, Izzy you didn't speak in third person."
Izzy's eyes widened with shock, "Izzy didn't? Whoa!"
Trent nodded, "That's kind of weird I say we forget it ever happened." Izzy and Courtney nodded vigorously. "Anyway, I liked it, very interesting."
Duke walked off stage as Chris arrived on stage and declared, "Alright next up we have..."
Jennifer
She shyly walked onto the stage, sitting where a stool had been placed. She adjusted the height of the microphone stand, and the soft piano accompaniment started to play from the speakers.
I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas please She sang the mellow interpretation with a strong, clear voice
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me Jennifer placed her hand over her heart
Love the game and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart She traced a heart right over where the organ actually was.
Oh, uh oh, oh, ohhhh, uh oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, uh oh, oh, ohhhh, uh oh, oh
I'll get him hot, and show him what I've got
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face At this point, she was belting out the lyrics while smiling brightly
She's got to love nobody
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
She's got to love nobody
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face She tilted her head from side to side in time with the beat
I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be She crossed her middle and pointer finger
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if its not rough it isn't fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got At this point, her whole body was swaying from side to side with the beat
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning She stopped swaying, and then stood up
Just like a chick in the casino She continued singing, obviously forgetting the microphone, and was barely audible from the audience
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I am marvellous
I'm marvellous
I'm marvellous
I'm marvellous
So marvellous She belted out the last line, with her head looking up at the sky, finally realized that she was singing into the microphone. She sheepishly smiled, and then returned to the stool.
She's got to love nobody
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face She closed her eyes, smiling, as she sang the last two lines
She's got to love nobody
The contestants clapped as she finished causing her to blush. Izzy grinned, "That was, like, really moving and stuff. Izzy really liked it."
Trent nodded, "Yes Trent really liked it too."
The two judges turned to Courtney who sighed, "Oh what the hell, Courtney liked it too."
Jennifer smiled, "Well Jennifer says thank you."
Chris walked on stage just as Jennifer walked off, "Alright next up is..."
Rai
The cowgirl walked onto stage a smile on her face, she gave the judges a friendly wave, "Hey y'all I'm Rai, I'm a huge glee fan so I was super excited for this challenge, Anyway I will singing 'Dog days are over' from the episode 'Special Education! So I really hope y'all like it!"
And with that Rai began to sing, she sounded similar to Jenna Ushkowitz and Naya Rivera.
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled She like many before her began to pace the stage.
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to surviveAnd like others before her she tripped.
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to surviveBut unlike others before her she cried out in pain.
"Argggh!" Rai cried out as the music came to an abrupt halt.
Chris came running onto stage, "Sh**! Her dad hasn't signed the waver saying he won't sue yet."
"Is that seriously all you care about Chris?" Natalia asked outraged.
"Well yeah what else would I care about?" The confused host asked.
Natalia looked furious, which was shocking considering she was usually so calm, "Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that Rai is injured!"
"I do care, I care that she doesn't sue because of the injury."
At this point Jennifer stood up too, "You're a real jerk you know that." She then made her way up on stage Natalia following. "C'mon Rai we should get you to the medical tent." Natalia nodded and the pair hoisted Rai up who was clutching her ankle in pain. Rai put an arm around each of her friends shoulders and began to limp towards the medical tent using her good foot.
Chris shrugged, "Well I'm sure she'll be fine, we do have a great medical te-" But he couldn't even finish his sentence because he had burst into a fit of laughter. "Alright next up is..."
James
As Chris continued to howl with laughter, the musician walked onto stage guitar in hand. "Is he always douche?" He asked jerking his thumb towards the host who was now clutching his stomach and heading backstage.
"Indeed." Izzy answered.
"Always." Trent said.
"I'd get used to it." Courtney advised.
"Alright good to know." Jamews replied. "Anyway, I'm James and I will be singing Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline'.
"Are you using your guitar?" Trent asked.
James nodded and began to sing, he had a voice similar to Jonathon Groff's and Darren Criss's
Where it began
I can't begin to knowing
But then I know
It's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed
You'd come along
James just strummed along on his guitar simply playing along with the music.
Hands, touching hands
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you
As the course began the other contestants would add the occasional 'ba ba ba'.
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline He ended his song on a nice note and received a nice round of applause.
"Izzy has decided that she willl name you Trent Squared!" Izzy declared. "Izzy thought Trent Squared did a really good job."
Trent arched an eyebrow, "Trent Squared eh? Interesting well James-"
"Trent Squared!" Izzy screeched.
"Right, um, Trent Squared I thought you did a good job and I liked that you used the guitar. By teh way I really like your name."
Courtney grinned, "You would. I liked the song to Neil Diamond is always a classic."
"Thanks guys." James said.
"Bye Trent Squared!" Izzy called after him waving frantically.
Chris walked back onto stage. "Alright next up is..."
Christian
Christian smiled, picking up the Mic and waving to the audience. "Hey Guys, I'm..."
"Yea yea, enough with the small talk…" Chris said, heading backstage. "What are you singing?"
"Telephone by Lady Gaga", Christian said, causing most of the contestants to erupt in laughter. Mostly the guys and some of the girls.
"Dude, isn't that a chick song?" Zakk called out, catching his breath from laughing so hard.
"Who said guys couldn't sing girl songs?" Christian replied, taking his stance on stage.
"Well, he's got a point there…" Courtney said, sitting back as the music started.
Hello, hello, baby
You called, I can't hear a thing.
I have got no service
in the club, you say, say
Wha-Wha-What did you say, huh?
You're breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you,
I'm kinda busy.
K-kinda busy
K-kinda busy
Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy….
"How is he doing that thing with his voice?" Dash whispered to Leila, who replied with a shrug.
"I have no idea…."
Stop callin', stop callin',
I don't wanna think anymore!
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop callin'', stop callin,
I don't wanna talk anymore!
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
As Christian began singing the next part, his body would occasionally twitch into different poses; as if he were in the Telephone music video himself.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
I'm busy!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Stop telephonin' me!
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Everyone watched his performance in wonder and amazement. The same thought running through their minds.
"How the hell is he doing that?"
Can call all you want,
but there's no one home,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Cuz I'm out in the club,
and I'm sippin that bubb,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Call when you want,
but there's no one home,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Out in the club,
and I'm sippin' that bubb,
and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
When he finished, he looked out into the audience and smiled. "So, how was I?"
Everyone looked stunned, their moves hanging open in complete shock. Suddenly hands started clapping, causing an uproar of cheers and screams.
"That was fantastic!" Izzy yelled over the applause. "You have to teach Izzy how to do that!"
Trent finished clapping, "Dude, that was awesome!"
Courtney smiled, "I have to admit I was sceptical at first but I must say that was amazing."
Christian smiled and mumbled a thank you just as Chris walked onto stage megaphone in hand, "Next up we have..."
Cole
The daredevil walked onto stage, "Hey I'm Cole, and I'll be singing 'Only the Good Die Young.'"
Cole began to sing he sounded similar to 'The Script's' Danny O' Donoghue and Michael Buble.
Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the oneHe made his way down the steps of the stage heading towards teh audience.
Well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done...
Only the good die young He made his may toward Leila and grabbed her hand and gave the girl a twirl.
You got a nice white dress and a party on your Confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmm, And a Cross of gold The pair continued to dance but in a less formal way then Duke, they did a serious of spins and twirls.
Come out come out come out Virgina don't let me wait,
You Catholic girls start much too late
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one,
You know that only the good die young Cole returned Leila to her seat and headed up the stairs.
I'm telling you baby Ending teh song on a note and receiving a good round of applause Leila clapping the hardest.
"That was fun! Izzy thinks that Cole likes Leila."
This comment made both teens blush so Trent decided to step in, "Iz your just playing matchmaker today aren't you? Well I thought it was awesome, you're definitely good."
Courtney smiled knowingly, 'Yes it was very interesting... let's just leave it at that."
Chris stepped on to stage as Cole left, "Alright Courtney's going all ninja on us. Anyway next up is..."
Leo
The bookworm stepped onto stage, "Um, hi, I'm Leo, I'll um, be singing 'Defying Gravity' from 'Wicked.'"
He began to sing, he was a countertenor that sounded similar to Chris Colfer.
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
He continued steadily through the song though he seemed rather nervous.
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!
Leo didn't really move much he simply swayed to the music attempting to get used to the feel of performing.
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!
This was it he knew the highnote was coming up and he knew he couldn't choke...
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 downBut he did, he tried to get the high F but couldn't.
Bring me down
Oooooooooooh!He attempted to recover for the last couple notes of the song. He ended up receiving scattered applause.
Izzy's brows furrowed wondering how to word this, "Izzy thought you did relatively good... until the end."
"Um, uh, ditto." Trent mumbled.
'Courtney remained stone faced. "Well I'm not gonna butter it up, you choked and we all know it."
Without a word Leo returned to his seat sadly as Chris walked on stage, "Alright our second to last performer is..."
Zoe
The acrobat made her way on stage, "Hey I'm Zoe, and I'll be singing James Brown's 'It's a Man's, Man's, Man's world."
Zoe began to sing she had a good voice.
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
In the stands Emily once again asked Griffin, "You think I lack passion."
"Oh let it go." Griffin hissed back.
But once again her question was valid Zoe wasn't really into the performance.
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Zoe was kind of swaying to the music at this point but only slightly.
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
As she finished she received a polite round of applause.
Izzy half-smiled, "You weren't really that into it were you?"
Zoe shrugged, "I'm not really a glee fan so I just kind of picked the one song I knew and it happened to be this one."
Trent nodded, "Understandable though it's a shame you didn't move around a little more."
"I have to agree." Stated Courtney. "It's not like ou sounded bad, though you were a little flat, but you also were not into the song at all."
Zoe just shrugged and went to sit down as Chris came to announce the last contestant, "Alright last but not least is..."
Dash
Dash walked onto stage, "Hey I'm Dash I'll be singing a Mash-up of 'It's my Life' by Bon Jovi and 'Confessions part 2' by Usher."
Dash began to sing he had a nice deep voice.
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life He like Leila (and technically Garrett) began to do a series of breakdancing moves.
These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call
I'm so gone and I don't know what to do
But to give you part 2 of my confessions
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down As he continued the dancing some of teh audience clapped along with the beat of the music.
These are my confessions
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
These are my confessions
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
I just wanna live while I'm alive!
It's my life! He finished by doing a flip and received a standing ovation.
Izzy was grinning like a madman, "Looks like we got two breakdancers, Izzy smells a love triangle."
Trent smiled, "Izzy you're really gonna start freaking people out with all this matchmaking stuff. Anyways I loved it but I gotta ask why that song?"
Dash shrugged, "I dunno I like Bon Jovi and Usher's pretty good so I thought 'why not?' Plus I'm not much of a glork so I didn't really have any ideas."
Leila giggled at this statement as Summer shouted, "It's gleek!"
Courtney smiled, "Well I enjoyed I relly liked all the break dancing people did today.
Dash smiled and returned to his seat as Chris came onto stage, "Well that concludes today's thrilling episode of Total Drama Music. Find out next time who goes onto do the duets on Total. -"
"Wait a second," Cole cut in. "When exactly do we find out about the duets? And what about Rai?"
Chris smiled, "You'll find out tomorrow afternoon on Total. Drama. MUSIC!"
(1)- I started writing this while I was in teh Christmas spirit it's a reference to the famous poem.
(2)- That whole little bit was for my personal need to resolve some stuff TDWT left out because that was not a good season.
(3)- This is one of the performances you really need to watch the music video.
(4)- Supermegafoxyawesomehot is from 'Team StarKid's' 'A Very Potter Musical' I did not coin the phrase.
(5)- These are Simpsons references to when the Beatles were on the show George Harrison in the episode 'Homer's Barbershop Quartet' and Paul McCatney in 'Lisa the Vegetarian'
A/N: Sorry the update took so long but the holidays were busy for me (Happy 2011!) and then school started, though the main reason was writers block and my dad is going back to school which means he has to use the computer a lot more then I do, I hope to get a laptop for my birthday in July but until then Dad has first didbs on the computer.
Also I had help on some of the performances. Some other authors wrote some of them So I'd like to thank Silvore (Lois and Jennifer), Phantom Crest (Summer, Christian and Griffin) and Another Dead Hero (Zakk). I'd also like to thank XxXAlways-a-DreamerXxX for giving me a much needed push.
Also sorry this chapter is ridiculously long that's another reason it took so long the performances were very tedious.
One last thing before I ask you some questions, I would love some more challenge ideas specifically for Rocky Horror and RENT (my two favorite musicals) but any others are welcome.
Alright your questions for the chapter
Did you like the chapter?
Which performance was your favorite?
Any ideas on whose gonna be paired with who?
Do you have a different favorite character now?
Are you angry/disappointed it took me so long to update?
Alright until next time,
