now i want to touch on maddie not being here we all know that she is in los angeles
i'm looking for the child who can be my maddie when maddie's not here this week
we will be traveling to shenandoah valley where we will attend powerhouse dance competition
we have three solos i'm giving solos to nia chloe and kendall this week all three are
character-driven they have to sell the story you're kind of on a different level now maddie
i'm gonna use you to assist me in choreographing the other three girl solos
i've decided to call kendall's routine not just another pretty face your prop is a mirror because
as you look at yourself in the mirror from this side you see this pretty gorgeous girl
yet as you turn your face you will see a scar smile sad watch maddie swatch her she's not maddie
i mean i get comparing kids to one another but there comes a point where
you have to stop comparing everybody is different what does that do to kendall's
or any kid's self-confidence in abby's mind she is building a kid up it's just not ours
if you can't be the character you're gonna let maddie do it
i'm really pleased for kendall i think this is good for kendall i think it's competitive i
agree i mean that's pretty obvious i think christy is threatened because kendall has a great solo
this week now these are roles that chloe used to get and now according to abby chloe's falling
behind so kendall's getting them mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all kendall
oh that costume is gorgeous that's so nice the scar looks incredible all right you've all been
selected to do solos today it's gonna dictate your future the abby lee dance company should
be one two three today understood yes next to the stage is going to be act number eight
say pre-teen open solo please welcome mia performing too underdog
they told me i don't have the heart for this rock star life back stabbing and the moment
she looks in the judge's eyes she is so fierce and intense in her dancing mia looks fabulous
is
push me
the size of the bite
what you know
all right next to the stage gonna be at number nine and this is a pre-teen
jazz solo please welcome chloe before me too i should have known
left to find
everywhere i wish
such a shame it took this long to find the truth but how can you sit there and blame me
like i must have done something wrong no no there's no way to hide it
it
chloe does everything perfect every single time she's on stage chloe is doing what chloe does best
not just another for anybody so i really hope that kendall can handle the choreography
and prove to abby that she can do anything that's thrown at
always her of line i'm too fast
is
cause that can only be what is
cause who i am
i'm a pretty tragedy
i'm expecting a one two three sweep today but who's gonna be in that number one spot
who's gonna be my next maddie all right ladies and gentlemen we're ready to start our award
ceremony starting with our pre-teen solos in fourth place with a score of 275.3 points
underdog from abby lee dance company second place goes to
entry number nine i should have known from the ability dance company
and ladies and gentlemen your highest pre-team solo with a score of 280 points
not just another bridge company
i'm really happy that i won i haven't won a solo in a really long time and i was competing
up against chloe and mia so i had a tough competition and your studio one more time
heavily dance company i think in the beginning of the week what we said was when we found out
that solo was like had she had maddie in mind for the solo you knew it was going to be a good solo
that just goes to prove because it wasn't kendall solo it was maddie solo and it won it was great
so can't we have that you're given the tools and what you do with it is what makes you win
i don't want anybody saying that was easy for kendall she had to work very hard to get that win
kendall i'm proud of you because that was to be maddie solo and you did it and you didn't
let me down you came and you won with it what do you say thank you you're welcome kendall proved
that she could win in maddie's absence but i still think she has a long way to go to fill her shoes
