Chapter 33

Sky was happy. Now to think about it, happy was not the right word: he was on cloud 9. Bridge had answered yes to his question, so now he had the perfect boyfriend. He wasn't this happy since Ryan.

Ryan…

He had loved him, but now it was time to let him go. For good. Now it was time to move on with his life. He looked in the mirror in the dressing room and sighed, running a hand trough his now long messy hairs. He was growing full stubble on his face and he kind of like it. His blue eyes, however, were tired one for the competition, two for all is thoughts.

Someone called him and the stage. It was now time to go, and face America's votes…

+-+-+

A smiling Ryan appeared on the stage looking at the cheering people in front of him "hello America! Thank you for tuning in to tonight show! First, I want to thank you for all the votes you cast on last night show. They're millions. Also, the numbers of download from iTunes will be added to the votes and we will have our bottom 3 for tonight!"

He then went near the judges table "let's say hi to Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell!" the three stood up and waved to the people around them "there's a reason why I left the main stage and you will see that. With the amazing – shout to the lord – here is your top 8 ladies and gentleman!"

When the song begun the lights pointed in the middle of the stage, where the 8 contestants were waiting to begin. The firsts to sing where Bridge, Sid and Ronny

My Jesus, my Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

The others joined to sing the chorus

Shout to the Lord
All the Earth, let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

I sing for joy at the works
Of Your hands
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares
To the promise I have
In You

The second part was up to Adele, Ty and Cole

My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You

The chorus begun again, and Sky use the power of his voice as a second voice

Shout to the Lord
All the Earth, let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

At this point, Z did the same as sky did

I sing for joy at the works
Of Your hands
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares
To the promise I have

Nothing compares
To the promise I have

The end was up to Z and Adele that had to sing it very softly

Nothing compares
To the promise I have
In You

The contestants left the stage and Ryan went on the stage for the results "OK. Here we are. As always we have the sofas on my right and the stools on my left for the bottom 3. Let's start with… Tyzonn"

The blond guy went near the host and smiled "you've sang – somewhere over the rainbow – Randy and Simon said it was one of the best performances of the night. Paula added also that you have the most definitive sound between the remaining contestants. After the votes, you're safe!"

The boy sighed smiling and went on the couch "let's continue with Veronica" the girl came out shaking and went near the man "you've chosen – you've got a friend – Randy said it was only ok, Pula added that it was your best performance and Simon said it was pleasant but forgettable. I'm sorry but you're in the bottom 3 tonight"

She nodded end went to sit on the first stool, as the host called Cole on the stage "your choice was – dream on – Randy said that you've had lots of problems, Paula disagreed with him and said that you were really good and Simon finished saying that he didn't like your impersonation of a rock star. The votes are cast and they said that… you're safe"

Cole nodded happily and went on the couch near Ty "next we have Elizabeth. Come here darling" the raven haired woman went near the man smiling "you've sang – the show must go on – Randy said it was just ok, being it a big song to take on. Paula said that she missed the connection that you have with the songs that you sing and Simon said you over sung it. America voted and I'm sorry, but you're in the bottom 3 tonight. Go join Ronny"

The girl nodded and went near the girl hugging her. Next out was Sky "you went with – innocent – Randy said it was good, Paula said that you got what it takes to be a huge star and Simon said that he didn't like it at all"

The crowd bowed at the man and sky laughed at it "you're safe take a sit" "yeah!" he run near Cole and Ty and set down. Ryan called Adele out near him "let's see… you went with – I Believe – Randy said that you didn't have the connection that fantasia had when she sang it, Paula added that you've made it your own flipping it a little bit and Simon finished by saying that you've sang it very well, but it lack of emotion. Even you tonight, after the votes, are safe take a sit!"

"score!" the woman screamed happily and went near the guys on the couch "that means that either Bridge or Sidney is in the bottom 3. Come out guys" the two come out on the stage hand in hand and Ryan went in the idle of them. Sky was now nervous: he had both his best friends at risk "Sidney, you've chosen – Anyway – all three judges agreed on saying that it was your best performance by a mile. The same happened to you Bridge with your take on – Angels -. Randy who do you think is in the bottom 3?"

Randy looked at them and sighed "they were my favorite of the night Ryan, I really don't know. I even think that both of them could be in the finale of this season, blowing away what everyone thought would be the finale"

The crowd screamed at that as Sid and Bridge smiled weakly "after the nation's votes, Bridge, you're… in the bottom 3 tonight"

Sid covered her mouth shocked as Ronny and Z approached the boy. Sid ran near Sky and the man hugged her "we have Veronica, Bridge and Elizabeth waiting for the result. Let's not keep them wait. After the nation's wide votes Bridge and Elizabeth, you're safe"

Ronny nodded at that and hugged the other two, then Ryan took her hand and brought the crying woman forward as the other went in the middle of the stage "Veronica Robinson ladies and gentleman! It's all for tonight tune in next week for an amazing night as the contestants will meet their next mentor. Good bye everyone"

Bridge and Sky were walking to the mansion that evening when sky whispered something in the boy's ear "what do you think about going out tomorrow me and you to celebrate?"

The boy reddened at that and didn't look at the man "yeah… why not?" the man grinned and took the boy on a piggyback. They will have a date the next day, and he could be happier than that. When everyone reached their room, they found this note on the door

Congratulation! You've survived another week! As Ryan said, you will meet your next mentor this weekend because next week you will make the other tribute.

Get ready because you've to take on the music of Mariah Carey.

Nigel Lyghtoe

Only one thought crossed everyone's mind "we're screwed…"

+-+-+

The music of Mariah Carey is next! I have something prepared for the week so I need one of her song. As it seems, Ty's plan to get rid of Bridge didn't work (as always) stay tune because he still have to unleash his biggest plan, and I think he will in two live show… muahahahaahahah
