Chapter 12

Bridge set quietly on the sofa thinking about everything was going on.

He met amazing people on the show that had threatened him like anybody has done in his life.

But he could see Jack in Tyzonne. He didn't even know what had he done to make him go mad to him like he did.

He sighed. He didn't want a copy of his life. He didn't need it.

"Hey Bridge! The commercial is off come here!" he heard Sky call for him.

He smiled and got up to go near them. He went for the only free spot, but Sky grabbed him and made him sit on his legs.

That made everybody smile at the scene. Everybody minus Ty. His blood was boiling mad.

The only thing that he thought is that Bridge was going to pay for that.

"Welcome back to American Idol. We're about to see three amazing performance. The first one is Mackenzie Heartford"

As always, the video started and it showed a cheerful Mack "Hi! I'm Mack! I'm 22 and I'm a psychology student"

(Images of Mack into a library searching for books) "I'm always wanted to study this because, even when I was young, I use to help people solving problems. So that's what I will do in my life. Help people.

(Images of Mack into the dressing room) "Tonight I will do something very rare for myself. I don't think anybody is used to sing a song about a strip tease in front of million people"

The video ended with Mack laughing. The camera zoomed on the stairs on the said of the stage, where Ryan was waiting "This will make the girls in the audience go crazy! With – You Can Leave You Hat On – make some noise for Mack!"

The camera zoomed on the crowd, where Mack was waiting for the song to start while throwing flirting looks at the girls.

Baby take off your coat, real slow
and take off your shoes
I'll take your shoes
Baby take off your dress, yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there, turn on the light
no all the lights
Come back here, stand on this chair
that's right
Raise your arms up to the air
no shake 'em

He went on the small stage behind the Judges and took Paula's hand, who was dancing crazily, and started dancing with her

You give me a reason to live
you give me a reason to live
you give me a reason to live
you give me a reason to live

He took off his hat and put it on the woman's head, making everybody scream. He then ran on the real stage to finish the song with the backup singers.

You can leave your hat on (You can leave your hat on)

you can leave your hat on (You can leave your hat on)

you can leave your hat on

The song ended and everyone was jumping excited. Even Paula was jumping up and down.

Randy started to talk, but Mack wasn't able to hear him due to the loud noise. "Mack! Listen!"

After a moment, everyone calmed down. "Wow! You made them go wild dawg! I think that was your best performance since we saw you. It shown a lot of personality that honestly I didn't think you had."

Paula nodded happily "I totally agree with him! It was a lot of fun dancing with you thanks for that. By the way, you're not going to have this hat back!"

Mack laughed embarrassed "don't worry girl keep that!"

Simon then smiled "Other than the fact I felt like I was in a strip club, I think that was fantastic for you"

The boy looked shocked at Simon and then screamed happily.

Ryan laughed at him "I saw most of the girls in the audience wanting to rip your clothes of mate!"

Mack blushed as the said girls stood up in the crowd and screamed "These are the numbers you need to vote for this guy. Let's continue with the competition. Up next is Sydney"

The video started and the imagine of Sydney come out welcomed by a huge cheer by the guys in the audience "I'm Sydney, I'm 21 and I'm a Shop assistant"

(Images of Sydney arranging clothes come on) "I'm so in love with my work! It makes you talk to people, help them and, most important, you work with clothes!"

(Everyone laughed at that) "My other passion is the guitar. I love to play acoustic versions of my favorite songs. And that's what I'm going to do tonight"

Ryan then came on the screen "With an acoustic version of Faith Hill's – There You'll Be -, here's the one and only Sydney Drew!"

The camera zoomed and Sydney's hands, which started playing the intro with her guitar, followed by another guitarist and a violinist near her.

When I think back on these times,
And the dreams we left behind,
I'll be glad cause I was blessed to get,
To have you in my life,

In my dreams I've always seen you soar above the sky,
In my heart there'll always be a place for you,
For all my life,

I'll keep a part of you with me,
And everywhere I am there you'll be,

Cause I always saw you in my life, my strength,
And I wanna thank you now for all the ways,
You were right there for me, you were right there for me
Always…

Then the backup singers stepped in to finish the song

I'll keep a part of you with me,
And everywhere I am there you'll be,
And everywhere I am there you'll be,
There You'll Be

The guys in the audience got up happily for her. Syd smiled at them and took place in front of the judges.

Randy nodded "It was ok, not something special, but it was a good version of it."

Syd nodded almost sad. Paula noticed it immediately "Don't be sad Syd. It wasn't the pest performance you've done, but it was very pleasant. It showed an amazing side of you that everybody has fallen in love with it"

"Thanks Paula" said Syd with a small smile. After all, they like it, even if it wasn't the best as Adele's.

Simon then talked "Ok I tell you what the problem is. The performance was good as they said. But I think that you're too cute."

Everybody was shocked and started bowing "Are you crazy Simon?" said Paula

"You can even see it in your video! The only reason you keep your job is because you're obsessed with clothes" said the man firmly.

Ryan then came over to comfort Syd "don't you listen to him about clothes. He's wearing the same shirt he had on the first live show of the first season…"

That made everybody laugh, even Syd "That's what we were waiting for! Your smile! If you like to vote for Sydney these are the numbers to do it."

Syd waved at the crowd who was screaming for her "they love you girl! Let's see what the last member of the group has prepared for us. Here's Cole"

The video started. "I'm Cole, I'm 27 and I'm a veterinary"

(Images of Cole with puppies come on) "This job is fantastic! Not only you can save the animal's life, but also it made me meet my beautiful wife Jennifer."

(Images of Cole hugging Jen in Hollywood come on) "She auditioned with me, but was cut off just before the Top 12 was announced. So I made a promise to her that I was going to win American Idol. And that's what I'm intended to do."

Ryan came on the screen and he was clapping his hand "That is very sad guys. Will you make that promise come reality? With – Hero – from the movie - Spiderman – here's Cole"

Cole was in the center of the stage. When the drummer ended his part, he started his.

I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.

Woah, wherever,
No heaven
Don't hear me.

And they say that a hero could save us,
I'm not gonna stand here and wait,
I'll hold to the wings of the eagles,
Watch as we all fly away.

After a small electric guitar solo part, he continued

Now that the world isn't ending,
It's love that I'm sending to you,
It isn't the love of the hero,
And that's why I fear it won't do.

He then pointed to the backup singers and the three girls started singing with him till the end

And they're watching us, (watching us)
They're watching us, (watching us)
As we all fly away,
And they're watching us, (watching us)
And they're watching us, (watching us)
As we all fly away (yeah)
Yeah,
And they're watching us (watching us)
And they´re watching us (watching us)
As we all fly away, way, way, oh no…

The bad stopped paying and the crowd stood up for a standing ovation. Randy and Paula joined in as well.

"This is official the best Top 12 we ever had! You were amazing!" screamed Randy.

"Thank you Randy" Cole said almost out of breath.

"Jen is sure proud of you. She has an amazing housebound. I'm almost jealous…" Paula said grinning and Cole laughed.

Simon, however, rolled his eyes "Paula, don't flirt with him. It's horrible."

The woman laughed and hugged the man "Anyway. Cole that was one of the best performances of the night"

"Yeah!" screamed Cole as Ryan approached him "Good job buddy! I remember you wife the first time we met at the audition. I'm sure you miss her"

Cole nodded "You don't even know how much I do." That made everyone said "ooooow!"

Ryan smiled "Well, you heard him. He made a promise and only you can help him! These are the number you need to help this guy. We take another break and when we came back, Elizabeth, Wesley and Kira will show you what they can do on this stage!"

The camera showed the three on the side of the stage with Wes's arms around the girl's shoulders and them waving at the camera.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

While Mack, Syd and Cole were coming back to the others, they spotted Ty on the other side of the stage grinning evilly.

Mack looked at the others "That guy scare me mates…"

The other two nodded. Syd hoped that he wasn't going to do anything stupid to the poor Bridge. But she knew that she was going to be wrong….

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

So! Half of them have already sung. What will happen next? What will Ty has in mind? But most off all, will he succeed? Stay tune!
