- All right, my first solo is going to...Kalani.
Your solo is called "Innocent."
It's a contemporary piece.
Maddie, you will also be performing a solo.
The title of your music is, "Dreams Come True."
The style is lyrical, so the legs have to be turned out,
the feet have to be winged.
The two of you are going up against each other.
[MUSIC - "Dreams Come True"] Once upon a time,
is how the fairy tales go
Maddie is doing a lyrical solo called "Dreams Come True,"
and her dreams are coming true.
Her dream is to be a dancer and to get to enjoy
what she's doing, and she is.
On that chaine, close your legs and get your butt under.
ABBY LEE MILLER (VOICEOVER): The whole world is watching Maddie,
and it's a direct reflection on me.
Her technique should be flawless.
This is going to be a rough week for Maddie.
I mean, I am surprised she has a solo this week, frankly.
I mean, I didn't think that she would.
She's missing tomorrow, and she has rehearsal for Ellen.
I know Abby counts on Maddie to be her toughest competitor.
However, this week, I'm really nervous.
This is, by far, Maddie's toughest
competition of the season.
Kalani's doing a solo this week, entitled "Innocent,"
but the music is a little mysterious, a little dark.
It's like she has a secret, that she might not be that innocent.
I don't know.
Oh, did you see that sloppy feet when you push back?
Even though Kalani is in the teen division
and Maddie is in the junior division,
this competition gives out an overall high score
for the solos, so they're going up against each other.
Kalani has only won once with a solo.
It's time that that kid kick it into high gear
and start winning.
So Mad, every time you do a solo,
I love it every week better and better.
Thanks.
When Maddie gets a solo, you never
get a solo that is comparable.
This time I think you did.
Yeah, I need to win.
The last time Kalani went up against Maddie,
she didn't come out on top.
So Kalani is nervous.
Maddie, Kalani, go out there and make me proud,
and one of you should win.
All right, let's go.
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome Maddie to the stage.
[applause]
[music - "dreams come true"] Dreams come true--
ABBY LEE MILLER: If Maddie makes a mistake,
the whole world is going to talk about it,
and I don't need mistakes, not when
I'm opening a new dance studio in Los Angeles, California.
[applause]
WOMAN: Good job, Maddie.
[music - "innocent"]
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome Kalani to the stage.
"Innocent." [applause]
[music - "innocent"] Innocent.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Kalani rocked that solo.
Now between her and Maddie, I don't know
who's going to come out on top.
[music - "innocent"]
[applause]

with our highest-scoring solo.

Say it, girl.

I knew my girls wouldn't let me down.
