The Glee Project (2011) s02e09 Episode Script
Romanticality
1 So here's what you missed on The Glee Project.
Last week, the contenders had to face their biggest challenge yet.
The entire music video is one shot.
Some had the eye of the tiger Nice! While others weren't as tenacious.
Come on! Lily and Aylin still don't get along.
She's really loud.
And surprise, surprise, when they had to work together, they were completely out of sync.
Can you help Lily? Shanna's been blowing away the competition week after week and is the only one who hasn't performed for Ryan.
Once again, great.
As usual, Blake's been killing it.
- That is some serious business.
- Nice! But Michael is struggling to keep up.
- Is it pitchy on "chances"? - Yep.
Which landed him in the bottom three with Lily and Abraham.
But in the end, it was Abraham who was sent home.
Now six contenders remain to compete for a guest-starring role on Glee.
And that's all you need to know so far on The Glee Project I'm thinking it's pair-ability, since it's, like, an even number.
I'm one of six contenders.
Do I know if I'm gonna make it to the end? No, but I'm gonna do my best to.
I'm gonna fight through this as much as I can.
I am pumped that there are only two more weeks.
It just raises the bar and raises the competition.
And, like, you have to be better than everyone here.
Who do you think the guest mentor's going to be? I have no idea because I don't know what the theme is yet.
We're down to six people.
I'm so close to the end.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Robert.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Here we are.
It's really weird to just see six of you.
Yes.
It's time to really bring it.
There's two guys me and Blake, that's it.
Everything is just a little bit more high stakes.
I don't want to sound cocky, I don't want to sound arrogant, but I'm really proud of how far I've gotten.
The last thing I want to do is go home.
I want to beat Blake.
So your theme for this week is Romanticality.
- Nice.
- Okay! - That's really cool.
- Wow.
One of the most popular elements of Glee are the iconic relationships.
So we need to know if you can create convincing romantic chemistry with another actor.
I have a crush on Blake.
I think everybody has a crush on Blake.
I don't think it's just me.
So your homework assignment this week is More than words by extreme.
- Ohhh.
- Really? - That is awesome.
- Wow! I have an extra surprise for you.
Ooh.
Nuno bettencourt, who wrote and performed more than words, will be here tomorrow to accompany you on guitar himself.
- Whoa.
- Wow! So as usual, it's up to the group to decide who sings what part and to create your own romantic choreography.
Tomorrow, you'll perform for me and one of Glee's biggest breakout stars.
Talk to you guys later.
Good luck.
Bye.
So what are we planning on doing for choreography? I think it should be simple.
I think if we picked a pair, you can create your own story with that person.
- Yeah.
- Do we want to figure out what the pairs are? Yeah.
Okay, so we all decide we're gonna do it in couples.
And let's not say who we're gonna couple up with.
Let's just look at the person.
There was an awkward moment when I looked at Blake, and he didn't look at me, then I looked at Michael, and he didn't look at me.
Aylin is my partner this week.
I don't know if I can deal with her.
Okay, so we need to come up with our story.
Lily and I had a moment on the couch where we were being romantic with each other, and then she kind of mouthed to me, "should we kiss?" And I was, like, "oh, my God, wait that's perfect!" The other contenders do not know.
We wanted it to be a surprise.
I think you need to be a little less enthused.
- Michael, I'm working.
- All right.
I'm a little nervous about being with Michael because his homework feedback isn't always the best.
I hope that we can pull it together and not get any negative feedback this week.
I love you We're together now.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
So your homework assignment was more than words by extreme.
And you're lucky enough to have the amazing Nuno Bettencourt here to accompany you.
Thank you for having me.
It's been amazing.
The song is so beautiful.
It's one of my favorite songs ever.
I heard a rumor that you lost your virginity to this song.
Yeah.
I know a lot of people that did though, a lot of people.
Well, they are so lucky to have you here today.
So our other guest today has done some of Glee's most romantic and groundbreaking scenes.
Hey, guys.
Darren criss! He has an amazing voice and can dance, and I love that he's so good-looking.
Obviously, this is Darren criss, who plays Blaine, one of Glee's biggest breakout stars.
I love coming onthe Glee project because it's always a chance to get to know new people that I might be potentially working with.
Romance is inherently being vulnerable, and having a real, sincere, and unique connection because of that vulnerability.
The rest is in the music.
So let's see what you got.
Let's bring on the romance, man.
sayin' I love you is not the words I want to hear from you it's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew how easy it would be to show me how you feel more than words is all you have to do to make it real then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'cause I'd already know what would you do if my heart was torn in two? more than words to show you feel that your love for me is real then you couldn't make things new just by saying "I love you" lah di dah lah dah dah dah dah dah dah more than words oh, yeah, yeah yeah Beautiful.
Great job, everybody.
It was awesome.
So each thing was really great.
They were all distinctly different.
There was a playful, a serious, and then kind of a mixture between the two.
It was cool that everybody kind of stuck to their choice.
And it made it a very interesting thing to watch.
Monsieur Michael, you were partnered with Shanna.
Yes.
It seemed you guys were a little stiff? I don't get negative feedback.
In, like, partner work, you have to just really use each other, and I don't know that Michael was willing to really use us together.
So, Lily and Aylin, your choice was to make the relationship a bit more serious.
The only minor speed bump of doing something like that it can veer on the melodramatic.
It seems a bit more than it needed to be.
Blake and Ali, you were, I think, of everybody, very, very relaxed, and it was vulnerable.
So, Darren, who do you pick as the winner? I was enjoying the playful quality of this and the naturalness of this.
And I think the standout winner of that would be Blake.
Yay! Thanks.
It was just really earnest.
You nailed it, and it just felt really nice.
- Thank you.
- Yay, blakey.
Finally I can be able to say, "oh, I won a homework assignment," because all the girls are just like, you know, "I won this, and I won that.
" So I'm really excited that I get to say, "and I won that.
" So congratulations, Blake.
This means that you've won a one-on-one mentoring session with Darren, who will work with you on your role in the big group number, which is Which is We Found Love by Rihanna.
I love this song.
I definitely know that chorus.
Who doesn't? So the concept for the big group number is that you are high school students who are in detention on the weekend.
So when the teacher leaves you alone to work, you sneak off into different areas of the empty school for a little bit of romance.
So that means that you'll all basically be pairing up again for this.
So, Blake, as this homework assignment winner, you are now allowed to choose who your partner will be for this next assignment.
The worst.
That's the worst.
Um I really want to keep exploring with Ali, if that'd be cool.
I mean, it just felt right.
That's great.
I guess that means that we have to pair up the rest of y'all.
Uh-oh.
Aylin, you were with Lily this last time, so I think we're gonna shake it up, and this time, you are going to be with Shanna.
I knew it.
That only leaves Michael and Lily together.
I'm a little disappointed that Blake didn't choose me.
It's pretty clear that Blake and Ali are the favorite couple.
Michael and I are very good friends, but the fire and spark that Blake and I have, it will be harder to find with Michael.
Just keep it at that.
So your job this week is to make us believe that you and your partner have real chemistry.
Blake, I look forward to working with you, man.
And I will see you soon.
My best to all of you guys.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for your time.
See you soon.
Bye, guys.
See ya.
- Bye.
- You're all amazing.
So welcome.
Zach is over at the scripted show, so you get me today.
So this week's challenge is romanticality, and we are spending the weekend in detention, which I did a lot.
So let's get with our couples.
Me and Michael have to get more comfortable with each other.
Relax a lot with it, Lily.
We're close friends, but we're not very touchy, so we'll have to work that out.
Crosses mine Okay, good, go.
I think the choreography is a little bit challenging because there's a part where we're supposed to get on the floor.
I really do want to get out of my chair for this video because I feel like it's really important teenagers with disabilities feel like they can be sexy.
Now we're standing side by side The choreography is simple, but we have to really become connected with our partner.
When I spoon you, we're just gonna, unh.
Yeah.
We have to outshine Blake and Ali because everyone's talking about Blake and Ali.
No, it's gonna be the Aylin and Shanna show.
Just wait.
We're gonna drill this until - until we're gay together for the show.
Until we're not straight anymore.
- Hopeless place - Whoa.
- Open door - Whoa! It just doesn't look natural to me at all.
Maybe we should put them both on the bottom.
Oh, my gosh.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Today I'm looking for a lot of things.
First and foremost, I just hope they can harmonize.
Okay, divas They haven't done a lot of harmony or duet singing yet, so if they've never sung harmony before, it's gonna be a massive uphill battle.
So I've put you guys like this just so you can feed off of each other's energy.
Have you had a good week so far? It's a very lesbian week.
It'll be interesting when my family sees this.
I think the whole show in general.
So we're just gonna get down to business.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind "Mind" is good, but you felt like you were a little uneasy about "in.
" Look at Shanna.
Do what you need to do.
- This is for you.
- Feel the heartbeat in my mind That's the best one.
- It's the way - Yes.
You got it.
You're done.
- Whoo! - Shanna's up.
Shine a light through an open door - open door - Love and life I will divide - turn away - Will Just a little under on "will.
" I know you got power down there.
I will divide - And you're trying to be soft.
- Yeah.
But maybe just split the difference a little bit? - Yes, ma'am.
- Okay.
Unfortunately, Shanna has set such a high bar for herself.
I just need a little bit more tone 'cause you're just disappearing a little bit.
We found love in a hopeless place Dial it back just a little more controlled power.
Okay.
Today, she didn't quite reach it.
Yellow Got it.
yellow diamond Oh, no.
I haven't been in bottom three yet, but I would love to make it to the finale without having to see Ryan.
Hi.
I'm expecting Michael to be challenging to work with for this song.
He's just been tough to get the right performance out of him week after week.
We found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place shine a light through an open Hey, hey! All right.
- Yes! - Great.
All right, Michael.
We found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place - I like it.
- All right.
- You're sounding good.
- Yeah, girl.
Lily has become a studio singer.
She is almost one of the best in the studio now.
Hi, guys.
What's up? So we're gonna start out and do all your parts, Ali.
Okay, let's get that.
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny but I gotta let it go We found love - Wow! - Unh! I think it really helps to have someone in the studio, right? It's so amazing.
It's like this is for Blake! - So let's trade places.
- Okay.
So, homework winner, you're gonna do a harmony on the fourth line.
We found love in a hopeless place That was - interesting.
- First line's good.
Hopeless place Whoa, whoa.
we We You're just up one more step, a half step.
Have you done a ton of harmony singing in your life? - No.
- Blake.
He's always so solid, and he is so great to work with, but I think I found the crack in his armor today.
We found love in a hopeless place Oh, why? We found love in a hopeless place Stop.
Stop.
It has been very, very rough getting the right performance out of him today.
One more shot.
One more shot.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind - Let's just take that one - Damn harmony.
Knowing that my harmonies were not up to par, I'm really nervous.
That could be my reason to be in the bottom three.
You know, there's six people left.
I've already done a last-chance performance with Nellie, but I haven't done one by myself.
I don't know how they're gonna judge this.
They're just looking for reasons, and I just gave 'em one.
Okay, so I think that we are done.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Hey.
- Morning.
Romanticality.
Basic deal, you might know it already it's Saturday detention.
When the teacher leaves, you guys go and do your own romantic thing in the school.
I want to see connection, I want to see chemistry.
I want to see, like, those little moments.
That's what I need, okay? Cool.
- Awesome.
- Thank you.
The challenge in this big group number is that the contenders really have to show their romantic side with another person.
So it's all about the chemistry.
And action.
Turn away 'cause I need you more need you more feel the heartbeat in my mind Cut, cut, cut.
Lily mae, when you got close to him, I was like this.
And then you pull back.
Love it.
I think Michael and Lily are showing that they have more chemistry than I thought they would.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind I do give Lily credit right now because she's usually so overpowering.
But I feel like she is taking his sort of temperature of his approach, and matching it very well.
Yeah it's really good because they have such different images.
Yeah.
He's reserved, she's so big and brassy.
And they're doing a very good job.
He's bringing it up, and she's bringing it down, and it's working really well.
- Let me just see what you got.
- Okay.
And roll it, roll it.
In the studio, I had some bad moments.
So I'm definitely feeling lucky that I got to have a one-on-one with Darren just to get right back on track.
Now, I'm sort of kind of focusing on what I think will help you with this.
You're in love.
I want to see that.
You know what it's like, hopefully, you know, to be head over heels for somebody.
- Oh, yeah.
- I mean, that's an amazing, amazing feeling.
I mean, I have a girlfriend.
If your girlfriend is a good anchor for getting you there, I mean, totally embrace that.
I mean, you're lucky to have somebody that makes you feel that way.
as your shadow crosses mine That was really nice.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind it's the way you're feeling They are doing really well.
They seem to be playful and fun and creative.
we found love in a hopeless place What I really like about having her out of the chair is that it suddenly makes it just a very real moment.
- Hi.
- There they are, - the two lovers.
- Hello.
Let's do it, guys.
Let's do it.
All right, here we go.
Rolling.
Play around with me, have fun with me.
- You too.
- And Rolling.
I just can't deny but I gotta let it go oh - Cut! we found love I need you to be a little bit more realistic.
Get away from acting.
I want to see that chemistry.
I want to feel it.
I want the viewer to feel it.
Action! now we're standing side by side This doesn't look natural to me at all.
It just seems too choreographed and not real.
And they've taken the choreography literally instead of making it part of their behavior.
- Cut.
Cut.
Cut.
Cut.
- Cut! Can you make it, like it needs to have a little bit of cat and mouse to it.
Literally, now, it just looks like two girls at a swing dance class.
Take it from the top.
And playback.
as your shadow crosses mine - A little better.
- Is that better? Cut.
Now, Zach, Nikki, and I have to pick three people to perform for Ryan.
We're gonna really have to analyze the entire week and really scrutinize the video as well.
Now we're down to six incredible people.
My problem is that there's only two guys left in the competition, and to lose even one, I mean, it's going to change the whole dynamic.
And I think either boy could win.
Maybe we should put them both on the bottom.
- Oh, my gosh.
- And let them fight it out.
It seems like they all had a moment this week that we could look at as something that could justify them being in the bottom.
- Here we go, rolling.
- Speed.
Go ahead, guys, go ahead.
Cue playback, please.
Welcome to detention.
I don't want any roughhousing or goofing off.
And no talking.
You will sit in silence and make the most of your time, and maybe you'll learn something about yourself.
Detention is between 9:00 till noon.
Yellow diamonds in the light now we're standing side by side as your shadow crosses mine what it takes to come alive it's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny but I gotta let it go we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place shine a light through an open door open door - love and life - I will divide turn away 'cause I need you more need you more feel the heartbeat in my mind it's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny, just can't deny but I gotta let it go we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place yellow diamonds in the light now we're standing side by side as your shadow crosses mine we found love we found love in a hopeless place in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love we found love in a hopeless place we found love we found love in a hopeless place Great job.
It is a wrap! Awesome! This is a recurring note that you get.
This week was obviously not your week in the studio.
And I don't think it was up to par.
So we're in the final stages of the competition now, and this is where it gets really painful.
We know that all six of you have the talent and potential to win this competition.
But only one of you will.
This week's theme is romanticality.
It was all about creating believable romantic chemistry with another person.
Lily, in the studio this week, again, you just continue to grow, and you've turned into a great studio singer.
Thank you.
I was worried about the chemistry and how you and Michael were gonna pull it off, but I think it was fantastic.
Thank you so much.
You were just really sweet, and I don't think we've seen a sweet side of you in a video yet.
Ali, you were great in homework.
Darren thought you were wonderful and that you were a perfect partner for Blake.
Ali, in the studio, you really shined.
I don't know if the magic was Blake this week, but you have been consistently growing.
Your acting has just gotten really, really good.
Thank you so much.
So, Lily and Ali Congratulations, great work.
You're both called back for next week.
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you! To be called back first, I was not expecting that at all.
They wanted to see this sweet side, this softer character, and I showed them that.
And that makes me feel really good that I proved myself this week.
So this week, it came down to the four of you Michael, Blake, Aylin, Shanna.
So, Michael, in the homework assignment, you got a note from Darren that you were a little stiff, and this is a recurring note that you get.
We have to take seriously that a fresh pair of eyes comes in week after week and gives a similar note.
Blake, you obviously did an incredible job on the homework assignment.
This week was obviously not your week in the studio.
The sad truth is that we do a lot of harmonies on Glee, and it is part of daily life on the show.
So that's just something that, you know, we have to take into consideration.
It's just, I think, up until this point in the competition, we were all thinking, "is there a crack in Blake's armor?" And I think, you know, we did find your weak point this week that you need work on.
Aylin, in the homework assignment, you and Lily made the choice to be a little bit more intense than everyone else.
Having done that, Darren felt that you did a little too much.
So, Shanna, along with Michael in the homework, you got the note that you were a little stiff and did a little too much, which was unusual because it's, I think, the first time you've ever had a criticism in the homework assignment ever.
And on my end, and I told you on the shoot, it just turned into a dance number, and I don't think it was up to par.
As always, it's been extremely difficult to pick three of you to perform tonight.
Shanna You will be doing a last-chance performance for Ryan tonight.
Aylin, you will also do a last-chance performance tonight.
Blake You will also perform for Ryan tonight.
Michael, that means you're a callback for next week.
Well done.
Thank you.
I have never been in the bottom.
I'm utterly shocked that it is us three in the bottom three.
I definitely thought that I had reason to be there, and we all had reason to be there, but I feel like Michael had more reason than all of us.
I'm not crying.
Are you okay, Shanna? - I'm fine.
- Okay.
I'm just kinda shocked, actually.
I know.
Well, I know, and I know.
One of is going home tomorrow? I'm really shocked right now.
I definitely was not expecting to ever be in the bottom three with Shanna and Blake.
Never.
Okay, guys, let's talk about the songs.
Blake, your song is losing my religion by r.
E.
M.
Mm.
Aylin, you will be doing the first time ever I saw your face, made famous by Roberta flack.
So jealous.
What, you're jealous? I don't know that song.
I love that song.
Shanna, the song isstronger by Kelly clarkson.
Yes.
Okay.
You have two hours to rehearse.
You guys are all gonna be amazing, so just have fun tonight, and just show Ryan why you're here.
- Go! - Go! I'm still in shock that I'm in the bottom three with these two amazing performers.
I though that we were the three top contenders.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Blake's not going home.
Aylin is wonderful.
And I'm so close to my dreams right now, I can't go home this week.
Damn.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
I'm up against two girls that are really good.
That's me in the corner Never been in the bottom by myself, so it's pretty nerve-racking.
I just really don't want to go home.
The first time I think that this is going to be the hardest elimination as of yet.
It definitely helps being in the bottom before because I know what's coming.
Your face But it's crazy just knowing that one of us is gonna go home, and I'm scared.
You forgot the words! Why are you so nervous? If you want to win this, you have to show something I haven't seen yet.
Are you opening the meal with this song? - Oh, yeah.
Of course.
- Oh, oh, my God! Romanticality, to me, is showing another person how much you care.
This is your plate 'cause it's the best-looking plate.
So Michael and I decide that we will have a little date.
Romanticality I was never very good at this romanticality maybe tomorrow we'll kiss Ooh.
We have a new place in our heart for each other.
Okay.
So this week's theme was romanticality, and we were looking to see how they would have be able to partner with people and have chemistry.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ryan, what did you think of the footage you saw of the video? I thought you know, to be honest, I think this is the really hard part of the competition because I thought they were all, actually, very good.
And I think the bottom three are here for reasons which are probably not evident in the video.
Who's first? First is Aylin.
- What was the problem? - Basically, of all the couples, the two girls that played the same-sex couple turned it into a dance.
It doesn't seem organic, compared to the other couples.
Let's bring her out.
Wow.
I'm singingthe first time ever I saw your face.
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes and I knew our joy in the way and the first time ever I saw your face Thank you.
Very good.
I think she sounded incredible.
You did.
You did sound incredible.
But I couldn't kinda get into the story because you forgot the words! I know.
I'm very interested to see what your mother would think of this show because she doesn't, "a," know you've kissed a boy, and now you're kissing a girl.
What's mama gonna think? Mama is gonna be like, "oh, it is acting.
" But the family in Turkey, probably not gonna like me after watching the show.
What do you think it would mean for Muslim girls to turn on Glee every week and see a modern girl who is not a stereotype? It would mean the world to me.
There is nobody that looks like me on TV.
I want the little girls to see me and realize that they don't have to fit that stereotype.
Do you worry about any of the backlash? I'm ready for it.
I'm a strong enough person where I can take that pressure.
I want to be that person.
Well, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- Good to see you.
Next is Blake.
The only reason he's here is because, in the recording studio, he had difficulty with harmonies.
- Was he nervous? - No.
I don't think he was nervous.
That's the one thing about him that bugs me is there's almost an absence of vulnerability and nerves.
Like, it's almost I don't see the bottom in that kid.
- He's sensitive.
- Okay, let's bring him out.
How you doing? I will be singing Losing my Losing my religion by rem.
- Okay.
- There's the nerves for you.
oh, life it's bigger it's bigger than you and you are not me the lengths that I will go to the distance in your eyes I've said enough that's me in the corner that's me in the spotlight 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 I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try but that was just a dream just a dream, just a dream, dream - Very good.
- Thank you.
So for somebody who's been the front-runner of this competition, why are you so nervous? It's like the nerves and excitement and everything jumbled up together.
But you know, you really are the sweetheart of the competition.
Do you feel you deserve to be in the bottom three? Yeah.
Ah, if you are lucky enough to come back, you have to show us something that is completely vulnerable, that's not cookie-cutter, because those vulnerabilities that are interesting to me to write to, if you want to win this, you have to show something I haven't seen yet.
- Yeah.
- You did great though.
But thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Okay, Shanna, like Blake, has been one of the strongest contenders.
You've never seen her.
Probably our top girl.
So why if she's our top girl, why is she here? She's here because, in the music video, her default is to kind of be kind of bubblegum, Disney-like.
Okay.
I'm Shanna Henderson, and I'm gonna be singingstronger.
You know the bed feels warmer sleeping here alone you think you got the best of me you think you had the last laugh but, baby, you don't know me anymore you think you had me broken down you think that I'd come running back baby, you don't know me 'cause you never did what doesn't kill you makes you stronger stand a little higher doesn't mean it's over when I'm alone what doesn't kill you makes a fighter stand a little lighter doesn't even matter 'cause we're here thanks to you, I'm finally thinkin' 'bout me I know at the end you think the day is just my beginning in the end what doesn't kill you makes you stronger stand a little taller doesn't mean it's over when I'm alone I'm not alone Thank you.
You were great! How'd you feel about your number? I don't think I said hardly any of the words right, but I felt great about the way it sounded.
How do you feel about the fact that you've never been in the bottom three until now? I knew I was gonna be here at some point.
Whenever that came, I just wanted to prove to y'all that I should be on Glee.
What kind of part do you think would be inspiring to kids that's never been seen on TV? I would be, like, the athletic girl that's involved in everything, that can sing her ass off.
There's several other girls in this competition, who, from a writer's point of view like, I can see what that is, I can see what that is.
I think you've just gotta be a little bit bolder.
Okay.
One other thing.
I hear that you aren't exactly pleased at the bottom three tonight.
Is that true? I guess, working with Michael, and then him getting the same critique, I feel like he's gotten that critique over and over.
Do you think that he should be here instead of you? - Yes.
- You do? I admire the fact that she just told the truth.
- Yeah, I like that.
- She doesn't lie.
I want to seethatgirl, if you come back.
You've gotta be tough.
Yeah.
That tough country girl, you know? Because that's unique to you.
But good to see you.
Bye-bye.
I'll see y'all later, hopefully.
I think this is an incredibly difficult week because I think any one of those bottom three could win it.
I don't know who's gonna go home.
Shanna didn't deliver something that made me say, "okay, she's safe.
" I just wasn't up to my potential this week.
Aylin, I liked seeing the vulnerable side of her.
I think she sounded the best, but it's not just a singing performance.
I forgot 1 1/2 lines.
I thought, Blake, "okay, well, I expected you to do that.
You were just sort of coasting on your charm.
" So based on that performance, I'm like, "okay, well, he could go.
" Obviously, you know, I had nerves and everything, but luckily, I did not forget a word.
What do you say? I think they all cracked a little bit tonight.
I think it's extremely unfortunate, but I think this fits on the show differently than that.
- I'd say the other one.
- Hmm.
One person has to leave.
I would have to go with this one.
Yeah.
It can go so many different ways.
'Cause it's like, "okay, well, I've been in the bottom three times.
" This is, like, their first time to the bottom.
I don't know, it's a lot to think about.
I just want you guys to know that Getting to know you guys has been awesome.
I mean, you guys are my best friends In a long, long time.
Hey, guys.
The list is up, so go take a look.
I hate going into things thinking the worst, but I'm thinking I'm going home, and I'm scared.
I know that I sang my heart out on that stage, and I performed the heck out of that song.
And if I go home, I will be devastated.
I'm about to read my fate, and I am nervous.
I'd be an idiot not to be because I know what there is to lose.
Oh, yes! Oh, my God.
Ah ah, ah ah I'm at a loss of words.
I fought to be here this entire time.
Keep holding on I was so motivated and so determined.
I genuinely thought that I could win.
I'm gonna keep on going towards my dreams with two suitcases in my hand and, like, 20 bucks in my pocket.
I love y'all all of y'all so much.
And I'm gonna make it.
Ah ah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah ah ah, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah, ah ah there's nothing you can say nothing you can say - nothing you can do - Nothing you can do there's no other way when it comes to the truth so keep holding on 'cause you know you'll make it through you'll make it through The theme of the week is Actability.
- Yes! - Awesome! This week is super high-pressure.
Last week till the finale.
Everything's at the highest stakes that it possibly could be.
I don't know where to go from here! I wanna be nothing like you! So you're having trouble with me, and then you get comfort from my best friend? Huh? We felt it should be up to them to decide who should go through to the finale.
For more information on the Glee Project,
Last week, the contenders had to face their biggest challenge yet.
The entire music video is one shot.
Some had the eye of the tiger Nice! While others weren't as tenacious.
Come on! Lily and Aylin still don't get along.
She's really loud.
And surprise, surprise, when they had to work together, they were completely out of sync.
Can you help Lily? Shanna's been blowing away the competition week after week and is the only one who hasn't performed for Ryan.
Once again, great.
As usual, Blake's been killing it.
- That is some serious business.
- Nice! But Michael is struggling to keep up.
- Is it pitchy on "chances"? - Yep.
Which landed him in the bottom three with Lily and Abraham.
But in the end, it was Abraham who was sent home.
Now six contenders remain to compete for a guest-starring role on Glee.
And that's all you need to know so far on The Glee Project I'm thinking it's pair-ability, since it's, like, an even number.
I'm one of six contenders.
Do I know if I'm gonna make it to the end? No, but I'm gonna do my best to.
I'm gonna fight through this as much as I can.
I am pumped that there are only two more weeks.
It just raises the bar and raises the competition.
And, like, you have to be better than everyone here.
Who do you think the guest mentor's going to be? I have no idea because I don't know what the theme is yet.
We're down to six people.
I'm so close to the end.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Robert.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Here we are.
It's really weird to just see six of you.
Yes.
It's time to really bring it.
There's two guys me and Blake, that's it.
Everything is just a little bit more high stakes.
I don't want to sound cocky, I don't want to sound arrogant, but I'm really proud of how far I've gotten.
The last thing I want to do is go home.
I want to beat Blake.
So your theme for this week is Romanticality.
- Nice.
- Okay! - That's really cool.
- Wow.
One of the most popular elements of Glee are the iconic relationships.
So we need to know if you can create convincing romantic chemistry with another actor.
I have a crush on Blake.
I think everybody has a crush on Blake.
I don't think it's just me.
So your homework assignment this week is More than words by extreme.
- Ohhh.
- Really? - That is awesome.
- Wow! I have an extra surprise for you.
Ooh.
Nuno bettencourt, who wrote and performed more than words, will be here tomorrow to accompany you on guitar himself.
- Whoa.
- Wow! So as usual, it's up to the group to decide who sings what part and to create your own romantic choreography.
Tomorrow, you'll perform for me and one of Glee's biggest breakout stars.
Talk to you guys later.
Good luck.
Bye.
So what are we planning on doing for choreography? I think it should be simple.
I think if we picked a pair, you can create your own story with that person.
- Yeah.
- Do we want to figure out what the pairs are? Yeah.
Okay, so we all decide we're gonna do it in couples.
And let's not say who we're gonna couple up with.
Let's just look at the person.
There was an awkward moment when I looked at Blake, and he didn't look at me, then I looked at Michael, and he didn't look at me.
Aylin is my partner this week.
I don't know if I can deal with her.
Okay, so we need to come up with our story.
Lily and I had a moment on the couch where we were being romantic with each other, and then she kind of mouthed to me, "should we kiss?" And I was, like, "oh, my God, wait that's perfect!" The other contenders do not know.
We wanted it to be a surprise.
I think you need to be a little less enthused.
- Michael, I'm working.
- All right.
I'm a little nervous about being with Michael because his homework feedback isn't always the best.
I hope that we can pull it together and not get any negative feedback this week.
I love you We're together now.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
So your homework assignment was more than words by extreme.
And you're lucky enough to have the amazing Nuno Bettencourt here to accompany you.
Thank you for having me.
It's been amazing.
The song is so beautiful.
It's one of my favorite songs ever.
I heard a rumor that you lost your virginity to this song.
Yeah.
I know a lot of people that did though, a lot of people.
Well, they are so lucky to have you here today.
So our other guest today has done some of Glee's most romantic and groundbreaking scenes.
Hey, guys.
Darren criss! He has an amazing voice and can dance, and I love that he's so good-looking.
Obviously, this is Darren criss, who plays Blaine, one of Glee's biggest breakout stars.
I love coming onthe Glee project because it's always a chance to get to know new people that I might be potentially working with.
Romance is inherently being vulnerable, and having a real, sincere, and unique connection because of that vulnerability.
The rest is in the music.
So let's see what you got.
Let's bring on the romance, man.
sayin' I love you is not the words I want to hear from you it's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew how easy it would be to show me how you feel more than words is all you have to do to make it real then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'cause I'd already know what would you do if my heart was torn in two? more than words to show you feel that your love for me is real then you couldn't make things new just by saying "I love you" lah di dah lah dah dah dah dah dah dah more than words oh, yeah, yeah yeah Beautiful.
Great job, everybody.
It was awesome.
So each thing was really great.
They were all distinctly different.
There was a playful, a serious, and then kind of a mixture between the two.
It was cool that everybody kind of stuck to their choice.
And it made it a very interesting thing to watch.
Monsieur Michael, you were partnered with Shanna.
Yes.
It seemed you guys were a little stiff? I don't get negative feedback.
In, like, partner work, you have to just really use each other, and I don't know that Michael was willing to really use us together.
So, Lily and Aylin, your choice was to make the relationship a bit more serious.
The only minor speed bump of doing something like that it can veer on the melodramatic.
It seems a bit more than it needed to be.
Blake and Ali, you were, I think, of everybody, very, very relaxed, and it was vulnerable.
So, Darren, who do you pick as the winner? I was enjoying the playful quality of this and the naturalness of this.
And I think the standout winner of that would be Blake.
Yay! Thanks.
It was just really earnest.
You nailed it, and it just felt really nice.
- Thank you.
- Yay, blakey.
Finally I can be able to say, "oh, I won a homework assignment," because all the girls are just like, you know, "I won this, and I won that.
" So I'm really excited that I get to say, "and I won that.
" So congratulations, Blake.
This means that you've won a one-on-one mentoring session with Darren, who will work with you on your role in the big group number, which is Which is We Found Love by Rihanna.
I love this song.
I definitely know that chorus.
Who doesn't? So the concept for the big group number is that you are high school students who are in detention on the weekend.
So when the teacher leaves you alone to work, you sneak off into different areas of the empty school for a little bit of romance.
So that means that you'll all basically be pairing up again for this.
So, Blake, as this homework assignment winner, you are now allowed to choose who your partner will be for this next assignment.
The worst.
That's the worst.
Um I really want to keep exploring with Ali, if that'd be cool.
I mean, it just felt right.
That's great.
I guess that means that we have to pair up the rest of y'all.
Uh-oh.
Aylin, you were with Lily this last time, so I think we're gonna shake it up, and this time, you are going to be with Shanna.
I knew it.
That only leaves Michael and Lily together.
I'm a little disappointed that Blake didn't choose me.
It's pretty clear that Blake and Ali are the favorite couple.
Michael and I are very good friends, but the fire and spark that Blake and I have, it will be harder to find with Michael.
Just keep it at that.
So your job this week is to make us believe that you and your partner have real chemistry.
Blake, I look forward to working with you, man.
And I will see you soon.
My best to all of you guys.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for your time.
See you soon.
Bye, guys.
See ya.
- Bye.
- You're all amazing.
So welcome.
Zach is over at the scripted show, so you get me today.
So this week's challenge is romanticality, and we are spending the weekend in detention, which I did a lot.
So let's get with our couples.
Me and Michael have to get more comfortable with each other.
Relax a lot with it, Lily.
We're close friends, but we're not very touchy, so we'll have to work that out.
Crosses mine Okay, good, go.
I think the choreography is a little bit challenging because there's a part where we're supposed to get on the floor.
I really do want to get out of my chair for this video because I feel like it's really important teenagers with disabilities feel like they can be sexy.
Now we're standing side by side The choreography is simple, but we have to really become connected with our partner.
When I spoon you, we're just gonna, unh.
Yeah.
We have to outshine Blake and Ali because everyone's talking about Blake and Ali.
No, it's gonna be the Aylin and Shanna show.
Just wait.
We're gonna drill this until - until we're gay together for the show.
Until we're not straight anymore.
- Hopeless place - Whoa.
- Open door - Whoa! It just doesn't look natural to me at all.
Maybe we should put them both on the bottom.
Oh, my gosh.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Today I'm looking for a lot of things.
First and foremost, I just hope they can harmonize.
Okay, divas They haven't done a lot of harmony or duet singing yet, so if they've never sung harmony before, it's gonna be a massive uphill battle.
So I've put you guys like this just so you can feed off of each other's energy.
Have you had a good week so far? It's a very lesbian week.
It'll be interesting when my family sees this.
I think the whole show in general.
So we're just gonna get down to business.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind "Mind" is good, but you felt like you were a little uneasy about "in.
" Look at Shanna.
Do what you need to do.
- This is for you.
- Feel the heartbeat in my mind That's the best one.
- It's the way - Yes.
You got it.
You're done.
- Whoo! - Shanna's up.
Shine a light through an open door - open door - Love and life I will divide - turn away - Will Just a little under on "will.
" I know you got power down there.
I will divide - And you're trying to be soft.
- Yeah.
But maybe just split the difference a little bit? - Yes, ma'am.
- Okay.
Unfortunately, Shanna has set such a high bar for herself.
I just need a little bit more tone 'cause you're just disappearing a little bit.
We found love in a hopeless place Dial it back just a little more controlled power.
Okay.
Today, she didn't quite reach it.
Yellow Got it.
yellow diamond Oh, no.
I haven't been in bottom three yet, but I would love to make it to the finale without having to see Ryan.
Hi.
I'm expecting Michael to be challenging to work with for this song.
He's just been tough to get the right performance out of him week after week.
We found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place shine a light through an open Hey, hey! All right.
- Yes! - Great.
All right, Michael.
We found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place - I like it.
- All right.
- You're sounding good.
- Yeah, girl.
Lily has become a studio singer.
She is almost one of the best in the studio now.
Hi, guys.
What's up? So we're gonna start out and do all your parts, Ali.
Okay, let's get that.
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny but I gotta let it go We found love - Wow! - Unh! I think it really helps to have someone in the studio, right? It's so amazing.
It's like this is for Blake! - So let's trade places.
- Okay.
So, homework winner, you're gonna do a harmony on the fourth line.
We found love in a hopeless place That was - interesting.
- First line's good.
Hopeless place Whoa, whoa.
we We You're just up one more step, a half step.
Have you done a ton of harmony singing in your life? - No.
- Blake.
He's always so solid, and he is so great to work with, but I think I found the crack in his armor today.
We found love in a hopeless place Oh, why? We found love in a hopeless place Stop.
Stop.
It has been very, very rough getting the right performance out of him today.
One more shot.
One more shot.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind - Let's just take that one - Damn harmony.
Knowing that my harmonies were not up to par, I'm really nervous.
That could be my reason to be in the bottom three.
You know, there's six people left.
I've already done a last-chance performance with Nellie, but I haven't done one by myself.
I don't know how they're gonna judge this.
They're just looking for reasons, and I just gave 'em one.
Okay, so I think that we are done.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Hey.
- Morning.
Romanticality.
Basic deal, you might know it already it's Saturday detention.
When the teacher leaves, you guys go and do your own romantic thing in the school.
I want to see connection, I want to see chemistry.
I want to see, like, those little moments.
That's what I need, okay? Cool.
- Awesome.
- Thank you.
The challenge in this big group number is that the contenders really have to show their romantic side with another person.
So it's all about the chemistry.
And action.
Turn away 'cause I need you more need you more feel the heartbeat in my mind Cut, cut, cut.
Lily mae, when you got close to him, I was like this.
And then you pull back.
Love it.
I think Michael and Lily are showing that they have more chemistry than I thought they would.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind I do give Lily credit right now because she's usually so overpowering.
But I feel like she is taking his sort of temperature of his approach, and matching it very well.
Yeah it's really good because they have such different images.
Yeah.
He's reserved, she's so big and brassy.
And they're doing a very good job.
He's bringing it up, and she's bringing it down, and it's working really well.
- Let me just see what you got.
- Okay.
And roll it, roll it.
In the studio, I had some bad moments.
So I'm definitely feeling lucky that I got to have a one-on-one with Darren just to get right back on track.
Now, I'm sort of kind of focusing on what I think will help you with this.
You're in love.
I want to see that.
You know what it's like, hopefully, you know, to be head over heels for somebody.
- Oh, yeah.
- I mean, that's an amazing, amazing feeling.
I mean, I have a girlfriend.
If your girlfriend is a good anchor for getting you there, I mean, totally embrace that.
I mean, you're lucky to have somebody that makes you feel that way.
as your shadow crosses mine That was really nice.
Feel the heartbeat in my mind it's the way you're feeling They are doing really well.
They seem to be playful and fun and creative.
we found love in a hopeless place What I really like about having her out of the chair is that it suddenly makes it just a very real moment.
- Hi.
- There they are, - the two lovers.
- Hello.
Let's do it, guys.
Let's do it.
All right, here we go.
Rolling.
Play around with me, have fun with me.
- You too.
- And Rolling.
I just can't deny but I gotta let it go oh - Cut! we found love I need you to be a little bit more realistic.
Get away from acting.
I want to see that chemistry.
I want to feel it.
I want the viewer to feel it.
Action! now we're standing side by side This doesn't look natural to me at all.
It just seems too choreographed and not real.
And they've taken the choreography literally instead of making it part of their behavior.
- Cut.
Cut.
Cut.
Cut.
- Cut! Can you make it, like it needs to have a little bit of cat and mouse to it.
Literally, now, it just looks like two girls at a swing dance class.
Take it from the top.
And playback.
as your shadow crosses mine - A little better.
- Is that better? Cut.
Now, Zach, Nikki, and I have to pick three people to perform for Ryan.
We're gonna really have to analyze the entire week and really scrutinize the video as well.
Now we're down to six incredible people.
My problem is that there's only two guys left in the competition, and to lose even one, I mean, it's going to change the whole dynamic.
And I think either boy could win.
Maybe we should put them both on the bottom.
- Oh, my gosh.
- And let them fight it out.
It seems like they all had a moment this week that we could look at as something that could justify them being in the bottom.
- Here we go, rolling.
- Speed.
Go ahead, guys, go ahead.
Cue playback, please.
Welcome to detention.
I don't want any roughhousing or goofing off.
And no talking.
You will sit in silence and make the most of your time, and maybe you'll learn something about yourself.
Detention is between 9:00 till noon.
Yellow diamonds in the light now we're standing side by side as your shadow crosses mine what it takes to come alive it's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny but I gotta let it go we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place shine a light through an open door open door - love and life - I will divide turn away 'cause I need you more need you more feel the heartbeat in my mind it's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny, just can't deny but I gotta let it go we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place yellow diamonds in the light now we're standing side by side as your shadow crosses mine we found love we found love in a hopeless place in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love we found love in a hopeless place we found love in a hopeless place we found love we found love in a hopeless place we found love we found love in a hopeless place Great job.
It is a wrap! Awesome! This is a recurring note that you get.
This week was obviously not your week in the studio.
And I don't think it was up to par.
So we're in the final stages of the competition now, and this is where it gets really painful.
We know that all six of you have the talent and potential to win this competition.
But only one of you will.
This week's theme is romanticality.
It was all about creating believable romantic chemistry with another person.
Lily, in the studio this week, again, you just continue to grow, and you've turned into a great studio singer.
Thank you.
I was worried about the chemistry and how you and Michael were gonna pull it off, but I think it was fantastic.
Thank you so much.
You were just really sweet, and I don't think we've seen a sweet side of you in a video yet.
Ali, you were great in homework.
Darren thought you were wonderful and that you were a perfect partner for Blake.
Ali, in the studio, you really shined.
I don't know if the magic was Blake this week, but you have been consistently growing.
Your acting has just gotten really, really good.
Thank you so much.
So, Lily and Ali Congratulations, great work.
You're both called back for next week.
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you! To be called back first, I was not expecting that at all.
They wanted to see this sweet side, this softer character, and I showed them that.
And that makes me feel really good that I proved myself this week.
So this week, it came down to the four of you Michael, Blake, Aylin, Shanna.
So, Michael, in the homework assignment, you got a note from Darren that you were a little stiff, and this is a recurring note that you get.
We have to take seriously that a fresh pair of eyes comes in week after week and gives a similar note.
Blake, you obviously did an incredible job on the homework assignment.
This week was obviously not your week in the studio.
The sad truth is that we do a lot of harmonies on Glee, and it is part of daily life on the show.
So that's just something that, you know, we have to take into consideration.
It's just, I think, up until this point in the competition, we were all thinking, "is there a crack in Blake's armor?" And I think, you know, we did find your weak point this week that you need work on.
Aylin, in the homework assignment, you and Lily made the choice to be a little bit more intense than everyone else.
Having done that, Darren felt that you did a little too much.
So, Shanna, along with Michael in the homework, you got the note that you were a little stiff and did a little too much, which was unusual because it's, I think, the first time you've ever had a criticism in the homework assignment ever.
And on my end, and I told you on the shoot, it just turned into a dance number, and I don't think it was up to par.
As always, it's been extremely difficult to pick three of you to perform tonight.
Shanna You will be doing a last-chance performance for Ryan tonight.
Aylin, you will also do a last-chance performance tonight.
Blake You will also perform for Ryan tonight.
Michael, that means you're a callback for next week.
Well done.
Thank you.
I have never been in the bottom.
I'm utterly shocked that it is us three in the bottom three.
I definitely thought that I had reason to be there, and we all had reason to be there, but I feel like Michael had more reason than all of us.
I'm not crying.
Are you okay, Shanna? - I'm fine.
- Okay.
I'm just kinda shocked, actually.
I know.
Well, I know, and I know.
One of is going home tomorrow? I'm really shocked right now.
I definitely was not expecting to ever be in the bottom three with Shanna and Blake.
Never.
Okay, guys, let's talk about the songs.
Blake, your song is losing my religion by r.
E.
M.
Mm.
Aylin, you will be doing the first time ever I saw your face, made famous by Roberta flack.
So jealous.
What, you're jealous? I don't know that song.
I love that song.
Shanna, the song isstronger by Kelly clarkson.
Yes.
Okay.
You have two hours to rehearse.
You guys are all gonna be amazing, so just have fun tonight, and just show Ryan why you're here.
- Go! - Go! I'm still in shock that I'm in the bottom three with these two amazing performers.
I though that we were the three top contenders.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Blake's not going home.
Aylin is wonderful.
And I'm so close to my dreams right now, I can't go home this week.
Damn.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
I'm up against two girls that are really good.
That's me in the corner Never been in the bottom by myself, so it's pretty nerve-racking.
I just really don't want to go home.
The first time I think that this is going to be the hardest elimination as of yet.
It definitely helps being in the bottom before because I know what's coming.
Your face But it's crazy just knowing that one of us is gonna go home, and I'm scared.
You forgot the words! Why are you so nervous? If you want to win this, you have to show something I haven't seen yet.
Are you opening the meal with this song? - Oh, yeah.
Of course.
- Oh, oh, my God! Romanticality, to me, is showing another person how much you care.
This is your plate 'cause it's the best-looking plate.
So Michael and I decide that we will have a little date.
Romanticality I was never very good at this romanticality maybe tomorrow we'll kiss Ooh.
We have a new place in our heart for each other.
Okay.
So this week's theme was romanticality, and we were looking to see how they would have be able to partner with people and have chemistry.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ryan, what did you think of the footage you saw of the video? I thought you know, to be honest, I think this is the really hard part of the competition because I thought they were all, actually, very good.
And I think the bottom three are here for reasons which are probably not evident in the video.
Who's first? First is Aylin.
- What was the problem? - Basically, of all the couples, the two girls that played the same-sex couple turned it into a dance.
It doesn't seem organic, compared to the other couples.
Let's bring her out.
Wow.
I'm singingthe first time ever I saw your face.
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes and I knew our joy in the way and the first time ever I saw your face Thank you.
Very good.
I think she sounded incredible.
You did.
You did sound incredible.
But I couldn't kinda get into the story because you forgot the words! I know.
I'm very interested to see what your mother would think of this show because she doesn't, "a," know you've kissed a boy, and now you're kissing a girl.
What's mama gonna think? Mama is gonna be like, "oh, it is acting.
" But the family in Turkey, probably not gonna like me after watching the show.
What do you think it would mean for Muslim girls to turn on Glee every week and see a modern girl who is not a stereotype? It would mean the world to me.
There is nobody that looks like me on TV.
I want the little girls to see me and realize that they don't have to fit that stereotype.
Do you worry about any of the backlash? I'm ready for it.
I'm a strong enough person where I can take that pressure.
I want to be that person.
Well, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- Good to see you.
Next is Blake.
The only reason he's here is because, in the recording studio, he had difficulty with harmonies.
- Was he nervous? - No.
I don't think he was nervous.
That's the one thing about him that bugs me is there's almost an absence of vulnerability and nerves.
Like, it's almost I don't see the bottom in that kid.
- He's sensitive.
- Okay, let's bring him out.
How you doing? I will be singing Losing my Losing my religion by rem.
- Okay.
- There's the nerves for you.
oh, life it's bigger it's bigger than you and you are not me the lengths that I will go to the distance in your eyes I've said enough that's me in the corner that's me in the spotlight 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 I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try but that was just a dream just a dream, just a dream, dream - Very good.
- Thank you.
So for somebody who's been the front-runner of this competition, why are you so nervous? It's like the nerves and excitement and everything jumbled up together.
But you know, you really are the sweetheart of the competition.
Do you feel you deserve to be in the bottom three? Yeah.
Ah, if you are lucky enough to come back, you have to show us something that is completely vulnerable, that's not cookie-cutter, because those vulnerabilities that are interesting to me to write to, if you want to win this, you have to show something I haven't seen yet.
- Yeah.
- You did great though.
But thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Okay, Shanna, like Blake, has been one of the strongest contenders.
You've never seen her.
Probably our top girl.
So why if she's our top girl, why is she here? She's here because, in the music video, her default is to kind of be kind of bubblegum, Disney-like.
Okay.
I'm Shanna Henderson, and I'm gonna be singingstronger.
You know the bed feels warmer sleeping here alone you think you got the best of me you think you had the last laugh but, baby, you don't know me anymore you think you had me broken down you think that I'd come running back baby, you don't know me 'cause you never did what doesn't kill you makes you stronger stand a little higher doesn't mean it's over when I'm alone what doesn't kill you makes a fighter stand a little lighter doesn't even matter 'cause we're here thanks to you, I'm finally thinkin' 'bout me I know at the end you think the day is just my beginning in the end what doesn't kill you makes you stronger stand a little taller doesn't mean it's over when I'm alone I'm not alone Thank you.
You were great! How'd you feel about your number? I don't think I said hardly any of the words right, but I felt great about the way it sounded.
How do you feel about the fact that you've never been in the bottom three until now? I knew I was gonna be here at some point.
Whenever that came, I just wanted to prove to y'all that I should be on Glee.
What kind of part do you think would be inspiring to kids that's never been seen on TV? I would be, like, the athletic girl that's involved in everything, that can sing her ass off.
There's several other girls in this competition, who, from a writer's point of view like, I can see what that is, I can see what that is.
I think you've just gotta be a little bit bolder.
Okay.
One other thing.
I hear that you aren't exactly pleased at the bottom three tonight.
Is that true? I guess, working with Michael, and then him getting the same critique, I feel like he's gotten that critique over and over.
Do you think that he should be here instead of you? - Yes.
- You do? I admire the fact that she just told the truth.
- Yeah, I like that.
- She doesn't lie.
I want to seethatgirl, if you come back.
You've gotta be tough.
Yeah.
That tough country girl, you know? Because that's unique to you.
But good to see you.
Bye-bye.
I'll see y'all later, hopefully.
I think this is an incredibly difficult week because I think any one of those bottom three could win it.
I don't know who's gonna go home.
Shanna didn't deliver something that made me say, "okay, she's safe.
" I just wasn't up to my potential this week.
Aylin, I liked seeing the vulnerable side of her.
I think she sounded the best, but it's not just a singing performance.
I forgot 1 1/2 lines.
I thought, Blake, "okay, well, I expected you to do that.
You were just sort of coasting on your charm.
" So based on that performance, I'm like, "okay, well, he could go.
" Obviously, you know, I had nerves and everything, but luckily, I did not forget a word.
What do you say? I think they all cracked a little bit tonight.
I think it's extremely unfortunate, but I think this fits on the show differently than that.
- I'd say the other one.
- Hmm.
One person has to leave.
I would have to go with this one.
Yeah.
It can go so many different ways.
'Cause it's like, "okay, well, I've been in the bottom three times.
" This is, like, their first time to the bottom.
I don't know, it's a lot to think about.
I just want you guys to know that Getting to know you guys has been awesome.
I mean, you guys are my best friends In a long, long time.
Hey, guys.
The list is up, so go take a look.
I hate going into things thinking the worst, but I'm thinking I'm going home, and I'm scared.
I know that I sang my heart out on that stage, and I performed the heck out of that song.
And if I go home, I will be devastated.
I'm about to read my fate, and I am nervous.
I'd be an idiot not to be because I know what there is to lose.
Oh, yes! Oh, my God.
Ah ah, ah ah I'm at a loss of words.
I fought to be here this entire time.
Keep holding on I was so motivated and so determined.
I genuinely thought that I could win.
I'm gonna keep on going towards my dreams with two suitcases in my hand and, like, 20 bucks in my pocket.
I love y'all all of y'all so much.
And I'm gonna make it.
Ah ah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah ah ah, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah, ah ah there's nothing you can say nothing you can say - nothing you can do - Nothing you can do there's no other way when it comes to the truth so keep holding on 'cause you know you'll make it through you'll make it through The theme of the week is Actability.
- Yes! - Awesome! This week is super high-pressure.
Last week till the finale.
Everything's at the highest stakes that it possibly could be.
I don't know where to go from here! I wanna be nothing like you! So you're having trouble with me, and then you get comfort from my best friend? Huh? We felt it should be up to them to decide who should go through to the finale.
