"I Feel Pretty", "Somewhere", "Cool".
- "Tonight" because that was my favorite song
to perform on set.
- It's good that you didn't pick
like one of your own song.
- If I picked "I Feel Pretty",
that would've been class A narcissism. (laughs)
So you guys can't pick "America".
- That's why I'm gonna pick "La Borinqueña".
(all laugh)
I'll do "Somewhere". - Performed by David Alvarez.
- "Cool" or "Somewhere".
- Ooh.

The song "Therapy", ooh.

(all laugh)
- I need a lot of it.
I feel like I'm in class A narcissist land
because I feel like "The Prom".
- I don't think that's class A narcissism.
- No, it's not.
- 'Cause you're not like picking your specific performance
in "The Prom" and not like, "I'll listen to it."
- And it just says "Pick another."
- I'll just pick another one.
- It just says "Pick another". Just bleh.

Oh, I picked "Dreamgirls".

- I'm Anita.
- I'm Maria. (laughs)
- Oh, my God.
Are you guys you? - You're the only one.
That's weird.
- Class A narcissism.
- That's really weird. I should not be Tony.
- Well...
- I kinda love that for you, though.
- Yeah.
- I'm an undercover.
- [Ariana And Rachel] You're Undercover Tony.
(Rachel and David laugh)
- So when you see "West Side Story"
on December 10th in theaters-

which is not weird at all 'cause he plays my brother.

You will always speak up for what you believe in.
You also have a huge heart
and all you want for yourself and your loved ones is peace."
World peace.
- [David] "Like Tony, you're working on yourself
and committed to becoming a better you.
You wear your heart on your sleeve, and you can just sense
that there's 'something coming' for you."
- Yeah.
- That's so true.
- That's actually really you.
- That's very accurate.
- Maybe you're not so undercover as Tony as you think.
- No. Maybe I'm Out There Tony.
- Yeah. (chuckles)
- Out There Tony.
There's only two kinds of people in the world.
"You're Maria!
Like Maria, you're kind-hearted, trusting, and open.
You let yourself feel the excitement, giddiness,
and joy of new experiences and new love.
You feel pretty, and you're not afraid to tell the world."
- Okay.
- Mm, yeah. - I mean...
- I mean... - I'll take it.
- Okay. - I like that.
I like her.
She's cute. - We do.
We like her. She can sing.
