Chapter 47
Ryan stepped on the stage for the last result show before the finale. He saw the results hours before the start and he wasn't surprise: it wasn't the first time he saw this kind of income for the show "welcome to the final result show before the next week finale! I can tell you that a few thousands of votes separate each of the contestants. However, one of them has to leave tonight. First, lest say hi to the judges!"
The three smiled at the crowd and set down to their places "now, before the results, let's welcome back the winner of the sixth season of the show. With her new single –battlefield- here's Jordin Sparks!"
The big screen opened and the girl walked slowly on the stage smiling at the people around her
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love and suddenly
It's like a battle-field
One word turns into a
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you don't
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now
Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
(repeat)
Why does love always feel like
Can't swallow our pride,
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender
then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no
Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
(nothing)
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
battlefield (battlefield)
battlefield (battlefield)
(repeat)
Why does love always feel like
You better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your
We could pretend that we are friends tonight
And in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright
Cause baby we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like
A battlefield (oh) a battlefield (oh) a battlefield,
Why does love always feel like a battlefield (oh)
a battlefield (oh) a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor
I never meant to start a war (start a war)
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(fighting, fighting for)
Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
(repeat)
Why does love always feel like
You better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor)
Get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your
Why does love always feel like
(whooaa ooow)
Why does love always feel like
(whooaa ooow)
A battlefield, a battlefield..
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know What we're fighting for
You better go and get your armor…
"Jordin Sparks ladies and gentleman!" Ryan said as he kissed the girl on the cheek before she run out from the stage "now, let's dim the light and welcome on the stage the top 3!" the three guys went on the stage and looked around smiling "Bridge, last night Paula choose for you –what hurt the most- Clive said for him you're the best between you three, Randy said it was the best performance of the entire season, Paula was in tears as she said that you make everybody feel the pain and the emotion that the song brings and Simon finished by saying that you're a very strong singer. Second, the producers' chose for you –love ain't here anymore- Clive and Randy agreed in saying that the rock version of the song wasn't good, even if you've sang it fantastic, Paula said that everything you sing it's just magic and Simon said the exact thing he said to Ruth Lorenzo: sensational. At last, Clive chose for you –ain't no sunshine- He said that it was the best performance of the night, Randy had three words for you: that is artistry, Paula said that it could be the first track on your album and Simon said that you've showed more personality in that performance that you ever showed in the entire competition"
The boy smiled shyly at the screaming people around him "Sidney, Randy choose for you –black horse and the cherry tree- Clive said it was excellent, Randy expressed his desire to work with you again, Paula said, even if she would have chosen another song for you, it was awesome and Simon said that he liked your attitude with the song. Then it was time for the producer, who chose –I can't make you love me- Clive liked the rock rendition you've made, Randy compared you to Kelly Clarkson, Paula said that you can be recognized from the first note you sing and Simon said it was your best performance from the entire competition. Finally, Clive picked for you –Alone- where he said that it's more your style of music then country, Randy loved your feistiness with the song, Paula said it was a risky choice, but you made it through and Simon said that whatever will happen tonight, you will be an amazing recording artist"
With that, her fans started jumping up and down madly into the studio, making the girl laugh "last but not least, Ty. Simon picked for you –Dirty Diana- Clive and Randy didn't like the choice, but agreed with the fact that you were very good, Paula disagreed and said that it was one of the song that is subject to different interpretation, and yours was fantastic and Simon said that he chose it to make you work with something different form your usual stuff. Next the producers picked for you –I still haven't found what I'm looking for- clive liked your attitude on facing a song like that, Randy said it was good even if you didn't do all you could, Paula said that you were in a great shape last night and simon said that it was phenomenal. Finally, Clive chose –everybody's hurt- where he said you were unique. Randy and simon didn't like it, but paula said it was lovely"
When Ryan finished, the studio was silent. Everybody was waiting for the two names "now, Bridge, after the nation's vote… you're in the finale!" the boy hearing that almost faint for the joy as Sidney hugged him "Sidney, America has decided… that this is the end of the road for you" the girl smiled as she looked at Bridge, who was starting crying "that means that Bridge and Ty will be in the finale next week. This year we added a little something: both of them can ask for help from the other contestants. See you next week!"
Bridge walked slowly toward his dressing room after the show. He was now alone: both sid and sky had left the competition, leaving him with Ty. He opened the door and come face to face with the blond boy, who was glaring at him "I've done everything I could to get rid of you… but I didn't succeed. So I change my plans, and instead I decided to get rid of the others" he said grinning evilly "apparently it worked" he stood up and walked slowly toward the boy. When he was near him, he bent down and whispered "you realize that this isn't anymore about winning this stupid contest?" he said and walked away.
Bridge stood froze for a while. He knew what Ty was referring to: the title of American Idol wasn't important anymore.
There was something else much more important now.
